Minor Houskeeping

Just an update:

THE BATTLEFIELD 3 BETA IS SLICKER THAN SNOT.
Some details:
-Operation Metro, set in Paris. RUSH, 16v16.
-4 pairs of MCOM stations. 2 outside, 2 in subway tunnels.
-Classes are switched up from BC2, I stick with engineer.

ALSO, BUGS, BUGS EVERYWHERE.

I will probably add to this list, and anyone else involved in the beta can post their bugs in the comments. That being said:
-You can only open the [ESC] menu during gameplay. Not during the spawn screen, or at a round end. ONLY while deployed.Same for load-outs and such.
-Minor graphical glitches, but this is expected.
-Key bindings. Will NOT play nice with MB 3,4,5, and very picky about keyboard keys.
-Chat. Press [J],[K], or [L]. But you don't know if its All, Team or Squad chat because its not labeled. The chat history box is damn near impossible to read on 1920*1080
-Team killers. Team killers everywhere.
-BattleLog. I HATE needing my browser open to play a game. This alone is almost a deal breaker. I have 13 pinned tabs (mostly for school), and they have to stay open because of BattleLog. While BattleLog is pretty slick, I would rather see it in-game, as opposed to a web-only service.
-NO COLORBLIND MODE. Its rather difficult to see markers now (they got smaller, too).

Don't let this list discourage you. There are also some welcoming changes as well:
-MY FAVORITE: M16 style guns no longer use the charging handle, AT ALL <333
Mag partially empty; insert new one. Mag size +1.
Empty; Insert new mag, drop the bolt via the bolt release. (99% sure its just mag size, no extra round)
-UI is intuitive, easier to glance at.
-A HEALTH BAR
-beautiful graphics. Time to whore my machine! Core 2 quad @ 2.95Ghz, 4 GB DDR3 1333, GTX 460 1GB OC. I have it set to preset "High" and I don't drop a frame too often at 1920*1080 fullscreen.
-PRONE POSITION
-Kill Assist points: If you wound an enemy that is soon killed, your assist value is based off your damage, meaning if you deal 75 points of damage, get a 75 point assist. Do 10 points of damage, get a 10 point assist.
-EVERY SQUAD SPAWN FROM YOU EARNS YOU 10 PTS
-Guns appropriate to your team. If you are on the RU, you get AK's, and other shitty guns. US gets the M16, M416, M9, M249, M9001, and others.
-Jumping over obstacles, you see your legs!
-When you are revived: [SPACE] Accepts the revive -OR- Hold [E] to respawn anyway. Big Deal!
-A lot of other things I forgot.

So all is not lost. I will submit bug reports to DICE and EA to see what they can and cant fix. Other than that, enjoy they game for what its worth. And remember:

PTFO!
