if you have an invite code, got mine from buying that POS game Medal of Honor, so I guess that purchase was worth it after all

I was on last night, enjoyed it. Haven't gotten to the point where the vehicles are available, which to me is what will set this game apart. Graphics were pretty decent.

Yeah can't wait for the vehicles too.

Graphics should be cleaned up on the final release.

When playing shooters, are you one to actively communicate with your team? I just can't bring myself to be that guy, I'm more of a leroy jenkins.

I just downloaded it and played the beta, I think playing the demo was the final nail in the coffin for me and COD. It's just so much more realistic. As a COD crossover, I like how easy and familiar the controls felt, almost every button does the same thing as COD. Is there any knife button though? Doesn't matter but since I'm a knifer in COD it'd be a nice plus.

But overall I liked the graphics, I'm definitely not as big on graphics as others are, and the gameplay felt smooth. I liked the realism in the game, it felt like you were actually controlling a soldier, with the animation and time it took to hop over fences, and how you actually felt weighted while running. Not sure if they have a similar system to perks in COD, but I enjoyed how guys weren't running around as if they were hopped up on a mixture of E, steroids, and 5 hour energy shots like in COD if you have marathon and lightweight equipped.

To make a long story short I loved the map, I loved the gameplay, the realism, I didn't see anything like spawn camping and I was fortunate enough that the team I was on acted like a team instead of everybody all trying to be a hero at once like in COD. Also no hackers (as of now) which is a major plus, it's unbearable playing multiplayer on COD nowadays simply because the odds are good you'll end up in a hacking lobby. I think I'm pretty much sold on BF3, and all that is without destroying any buildings or driving any vehicles or anything.
