I've been having fun with it, but it certainly is a Beta. I certainly hope they correct or change some things before it comes out, namely the following:
1) Automatically go to fullscreen. Also, my computer crashes whenever I try to press Alt+Enter. I've informed them of that
2) During the first segment of the metro level, parts of the ground sink your character down and it makes it look like your camera is bobbing up and down very quickly. Also, a number of players have found ways to hide in the ground.
3) Please make Ctrl toggle crouch. Please. For the love of god. Please. Not X. Never X. X should never toggle anything, but especially NOT crouch.
I really like the look of the game, I really like how the weapons handle, and I've enjoyed what I've played. But man, this really is a Beta. If this game was 4 months out from being shipped, I wouldn't be worried. But it's about three weeks away, and it has quite a few bugs in it. Also the interface is terrible. Also, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get rid of that crappy website lobby for the PC. It's awful. It's just awful. NO ONE wants to use a goddamn browser window to search for servers. No one. Only troglodytes from the far side of mars who do everything backwards and actually enjoy pain would want to use a goddamn browser window. This feels like something a marketer in a suit, who has never ever played a video game in his life, has persuaded DICE to go with - "Hey fellas, if we make them visit our crappy site for servers and stats, we can force them to see more advertisements and extrapolate on our market encapsulated bi-lateralindex point derivative revenue!" It's just the worst. No game designer with their head on straight would ever decide to make people visit a goddamn website to log in to a multiplayer server, if they could help it. What the hell was wrong with the BFBC2 system!?! That was great! You could customize your classes, look up friends, log into servers, look up stats - for what hellish, ghoulish reason would you throw away that PERFECTLY GOOD SYSTEM and go with this pile of garbage, DICE? Why? WHY!
I have enough respect for DICE to believe that it wasn't their decision to go with this crappy webpage login crap. I firmly believe a marketer, with his hair slicked back with a thousand litres of gel, with his armani suit and his ray-ban sunglasses and his faux-french accent was responsible for this travesty.
