Those of you playing BF3 beta. What do you think of metro?

I dont like it so much

its fine but a real battlefield potential you can taste in a caspian border

i like it i think thats cause i havent played much of the beta

I wonder who voted for it sucks

I would of but i kinda like the subway and last part

i think it was bronx

In my honest opinion, DICE chose the wrong map to showcase it's game.

We wanted a Battlefield kinda map, something that feels 100% Battlefield, Metro wasn't that

And what is 100% BF like?

The 2nd map: Caspian Border

I like the subway part but I agree with shocky, they should have chosen a better map

I would say something like Arica Harbor / Isla Inocentes on BC2.

Battlefieldy maps are like big, but big for a reason and still good to play.

Where there is a perfect mix of vehicle and infantry combat, mix between going in for the mcoms or staying back and sniping. That kind of feel

they should have put a bigger map. one that really showcases the capabilities of the frostbite engine and the use of planes and other vehicles

I think they didnt want to put vehicles in the beta. A big map needs vehicles

thats stupid on their part

Oh boy, another post/poll about BF3 beta and how people feel about it. Gezzz.

Metro is ok, what it is or was good for is to show how infantry battles would be. I'd like to see what Metro is like on other game modes.

I thought metro was pretty cool. I liked how the map really felt like three separate smaller maps in one. I would have preferred a map with vehicles like everyone else but I just dont think they were ready for it in the Beta. I also like conquest more than rush but again just something else to look forward to.

The infantry combat is really well done and I think it plays to the strengths of groups like ours. The effectiveness of cover fire is cool, and being able to lay down in the prone is a welcome tactical improvement.

Its also nice that snipers now have to have bipods and hold their breath to keep a steady scope.

Anyway its just a beta and after my first taste of BF3, bad company just isnt going to cut it. Oh well two more weeks.

It's awesome although snipers are too overpowered SVD and Mk11 Are too strong and it's so hard to kill them especially when they camp

Its a great map and metro part is best especially with 3 areas of entry

You're right the SVD and Mk11 do feel too powerful but it never seems to work out when I'm the one using them lol. The best thing you can do to counter snipers is to "spot" them for your team to take them out and the little red thing is a handy aim point.

if you would play a beta on PC you could taste a big map with all vehicles and i tell you that everything looks and works perfect
of course beta was full of bugs but anyway it was a pleasure to be a tester
now BF3 pre-ordered and 2 more weeks for full game - cant wait

The semi auto rifle? Does it kill with a head shot? Otherwise I dont have a problem with it. I just move a lot and they fire wildly missing me

Well, I think any of the semi-auto snipers are way too over powered. When it takes 2 shots from a single shot sniper and a semi-auto for the same kill, that's way too overpowered. At least make the semis have way more recoil. Think, if you fired 2 consecutive sniper bullets back to back you'd be almost aiming at the sky, unless you had a bi-pod, but even with a bipod, you'd be way above where they really are.

all around great, i just wished they let us test out the vehicular capabilities on another map or something. also, i wish we could have tested out Team Deathmatch, because its new to Battlefield.

I think the semi already has alot of recoil. Cant remember for sure. Maybe lower the rate of fire or maybe lower its power a bit

not even a lot of recoil at all. XD It's less than a single shot.

I just want the weapons to have some semblance with reality. If they tried to base it on how the actual gun performs then thats all I need.
