Hi all,
Just thought I’d drop by and attempt to make you all jealous.
Just got a Battlefield 3 Alpha tester key, downloading now, will let you all know the extent of it’s awesomeness.

Well, all I can say is…
IT IS FUCKING AWESOME
Honestly, the graphics are great, really smooth. The animations and the feel of your character moving over terrain is just right. The shooting is also pretty good, will take a while to get to grips with it and I’ve only tried a few guns.
The ability to spawn on a squad member is currently missing (or I don’t know how to do it) which means the defending side is losing constantly, long runs to combat, but it’s alpha.
It’s the multiplayer alpha, with a single map, which starts out over a public park in the middle of an American looking city, then leads down into subway tunnels, the attention to detail is awesome.
The suppression system works pretty well as well, when you get shot at (or stand near firing vehicles) your HUD has slowing and blurring effects on it much like when you’re being shot in bfbc2.
If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask, not allowed to post screens apparantly or vids though.
I hate you…however when i stab you in the face it’ll feel a whole lot more satisfying now I know you’ve played since alpha 😉
Good for you stalker pleased you got in.
Just out of interest, which site did you apply to get access?

I didn’t apply on any site Lammie, I just got a random e-mail through from EA saying I had a key for it. I’ve had an ea account for years and have bought several products through it.
Played some more of it last night, the squad system does “function” but is buggy as hell. It is a little different from bfbc2, squad commanders are back and you can only spawn on squad commander. The squad commander however can spawn on any other squad members.
There seems to be no way to pick a squad commander, just seeems to be luck if it works or not.

I actually nearly got my first set of dogtags last night. I flanked the enemy and was behind someone for about 15 seconds trying to work out which key was to knife (it’s now “f” btw) I got shot before I worked it out though 🙁
Hehe, I guess the “playing since alpha” will be a curse. only spent about 2-3 hours on it, might get a little more done this week, but I believe it’s only open for 7 days, 3 of which have passed already.
I’m still shocked that people are running around at high levels, seen a level 25 last night and that’s after 2 days, they must have spent some ammount of time on it already.

Actually that’s a good question…are there ships in game?
The level on the alpha only has a single vehicle, it’s an armored vehicle, but not a tank if that makes sense. Kind of an APC with a gunner at top and a gunner at each side, shooting through little slots. It’s a lot like a bfbc2 vehicle who’s name escapes me.
Also, prone is nice 🙂
Prone was the most ridiculos omission from bc2 so glad to see it back. how hard are snipers to spot with it though? Also on that point are snipers, or any class, seemingly overpowered at the moment?
