DICE made a huge mistake releasing this "beta" so close to launch. Intelligent or not, gamers see some crappy form of their beloved product so close to release and they get worried.
If DICE/EA were smart, they would have released this glitch-fest three months ago.
Although you, MW49250, and I as well will probably get downvoted, I also agree.
Very generic, but with the horrible hit-detection and incredible lag as well as the choice to not include vehicles in the beta...how were they expecting this thing to be a GOOD thing financially? If they were trying to capture the CoD fanbase with this beta they have failed miserably, and if they're trying to maintain the BF loyal they are also doing a great job of alienating them.
Played on 360...the graphics are incredibly underwhelming. Huge let down. In general, so many bugs and such, even if it was a true "beta" which it obviously isn't. The servers are down constantly, and it's impossible to join a game with a party and to play with friends.
All in all, EA has done a great job of further alienating non-BF faithful and canceling preorders left and right due to this shoddy BETA.
