Two days into the Battlefield 3 Beta thegameveda finally gets a game

I take the fact that it has taken me 2 days to get into a game of Battlefield 3 not as a sign of lack of servers , or shockingly unfinished code weeks before launch , but as a mark of respect by fans for the greatest game this year . There simply are so many people eager to play that no amount of server supply will accomdate the demand.

I have to say the one gaming session I did get into was on the PS3 after 2 days spent on a very impressive browser based Battlefield 3 PC game Launcher ( ironic much ?) that allows you to social network your gaming experience at the tap of a keyboard.

This beautiful system is designed to ping your Battlefield experiences across your social network universe , unfortunately at present it is spreading negative waves... but hey this is a mark of respect.. not a criticism .. and if it is then I am sure D.I.C.E. will take it as feedback ... which is the point of the Beta after all ...

When you do get into the game , you will not stop playing , the strangers you play with will become your life long allies , your band of brothers and sisters ... members of the opposing team will become targets of Corleone /Sopranos style vengeance and vendettas .. especially the ones who keep crawling along their bellies and sniping ..or the particularly vile ones that blind you with their flashlights... just take them out with a rocket launcher!

In fact I only stopped playing to type this . One map of Battlefield 3 is already the best gaming experience this year and that is just the Beta ... but then again I said the same about the Alpha...

Long term Battlefield fans are used to games in the series being launched as work in progress , patches following later ... They are also used to modding tools being released .. will this happen and when for the PC we will have to wait and see .. in todays DLC dominated world there may be little room for user created content ...so no Game of Thrones Battlefield 3 mod then....

Just a final warning , do no start playing at midnight , unless you are on extended leave from your life and senses....and take a break every 6 hours or so...

get your Battlefield pre order in the UK at Game and Zavvi.
