Yea the spawn system is pretty ed. Also hate the fire team spotting system.

I think this game was designed to try and compete with COD's A.D.D play style with sprinkles of BF3 thrown in, unfortunately it doesn't do anything better than COD or BF3 making it obsolete before it's even been released.

Exactly. And on a side note, I hate how EA (and Ubisoft) games are kinda just coalescing into one. Every game takes from the other so every game plays the same. It's not good.

Yeah it's surprising how they haven't quite gone out of business yet. Not so much EA because of all their different IPs but Ubisoft hasn't put out a real quality game since, dare I say, the original splinter cell on the first xbox? Of course that's my opinion on Ubisoft but basically they suck now, the new GRFS sucks, the free GRFS on PC sucks, I wasn't a fan of Assassin's Creed when it came out, I'm hoping the new one renews my faith in Ubisoft.

Anyways, back on topic, tried playing again and I just can't get into it, the spawns kept screwing me spawning me into enemies firing in my direction insta-killing me. The killstreak rewards don't really tell you exactly what you get because they flash on the screen too fast with all the action going on. The menus are just atrocious, somehow they are worse than the previous MOH, I don't know wtf half the menus do, picking your SF nationality, etc. What is the point? Looks? Weapons available? Any sort of advantage? Disadvantage?

I'm sure most of that would be clear when it releases and people get to delve into the game deeper but still.

Was really looking forward to it, guess Ill just stick to CS:GO and BF3.

The menus are so bad even for a beta.

Yeah I tried the Beta on Friday night, seemed quite terrible, if the single player is good I'll pick this up when it hits $20.

Played one match. It was okay (I like the point streaks). Played half of a second match, was so disappointed that I couldn't finish it. I think I'd much, much rather play BF3...

I played my first game last night. I didn't realize how long the matches would take. I was playing for over half an hour, just one match. Anyway, the interface is quite "busy," I didn't really understand how to control when or where I spawned, although towards the end of the match I finally saw there was an option on the far right side of the screen, but it didn't always seem to give me too many options. I also didn't really understand how to tell if my team was winning or losing, or even what exactly the objective was... looked like we were supposed to capture a series of checkpoints, but I couldn't figure out what exactly we were supposed to do... or even if I was attacking or defending... could have used a bit of a tutorial I guess. I actually liked the way your teammates (and occasionally a spotted enemy) would be highlighted for you to see thru walls and whatnot. I'll have to give it another shot when I've got more time to play.

The enemy that is highlighted is the person who just killed your squad mate. The same applies for whenever you kill someone, his squad mate is alerted of where you are and what you are doing.

Been thinking about getting this or going back to BF3. Looks like BF3 again. Thanks for those the posted there thought to this point.

Ah, thanks. Makes sense, and good to know.

Played it and think it's shit. MoH series keeps getting worse with every new game.

I downloaded the beta... but based upon what you all are saying I think I'll just ignore it and go back to Borderlands 2.

Kind of a shame... I would have liked to seen another quality CoD type shooter on the market in an effort to push CoD to new heights... or at least the heights it use to be. (Haven't gotten one since MW2 and skipped Black Ops too.)

Give it a shot It has gotten better since the first day and a half. You have to put time in the beta and get a feel for things, once you do that you will enjoy it a lot more.

Try using a different class like the special ops class, using the mp7 or the sniper class and try out the semi auto sniper. Both guns are very good. Might have to rank up a few levels to unlock them.

It's pretty funny that everybody thinks this going to be the finished product. They did the same thing with BF3 last year with old alpha and beta builds. I am not trying to change anyone's stance, but I would not listen to the opinion's of people who have not put anytime in the beta.

The only things I don't like are the slow reload times, it takes forever to reload and when you spawn, the primary weapon takes forever to come out. I am not expecting much out of the beta, I know the graphics, mechanics and many bugs will be more polished and the bugs will be reduced.

The alpha of BF3 was exactly the same as release, the only exception was some bugs were fixed in the final build that weren't in the alpha. Hell the soft ground in metro in the first set of MCOMs wasn't even fixed until the game came out for the PC. Beta isn't beta anymore with regards to consoles. I guess we'll see when it comes out this month how much they actually changed in a few weeks.

I agree with this statement. It's hard to call it a beta when it's only a few weeks from release. If this game was still months ago, I would give it a chance but after playing the demo for several days, I'll probably wait for it to drop in price.

I mean maybe it is an actual beta build, but I can guarantee that whatever build version it is, isn't that far from release. I know they didn't just package what they had up until the week of the release of the demo, it's probably a few months old, but in the development life cycle, even if it was 3 months prior to last week, not much is going to change later this month.

Gears of War 3 had a real beta. EA doesn't do real betas. These are more multiplayer demos/stress tests/wide-release QA tests hiding behind the shield of lol just beta guys. How many issues can they really fix when the game is on shelves in just 2 weeks. It's gotta go gold sometime.

I dunno... It was ok I guess..
