1234439 2011-09-29 08:52:00 Closed beta started on Tuesday (Wed our time) and the feedback has been pretty meh so don't get your hopes up. Mainly huge amounts of glitches and console graphics lacking.

Glitches are understandable, and console graphics will apparently be improved for the full game (see links) but will still be looking forward to downloading and playing it tomorrow.

No denying the PC version looks better though (if you can run it) and that's coming from a Xbox 360 owner.

That's insane.

I'll be sticking with Battlefield:1942, Veitnam, 2 and Play4Free.

1234443 2011-09-29 09:57:00 All that matters is the PC version will always be better due to the fact you have a mouse. Agent_24 (57)

+1

I've played games similar to battlefield on playstations, and xbox's, and without a mouse, shooting games just fail. You just don't have the exact precision a mouse has on a controller.
