I really did want to be impressed by the BF3 demo. I actually think I was prepared to be impressed, after all the vids and hype surrounding BF3 the past months.

(It's not a real beta btw, weeks before release. This is a server/Battlelog stress test - even says so on the main menu.)

I played for 4 hours, and saw more glitches than I think I've seen in any videogame since...possibly ever.

Issues I ran into: Couldn't ADS (aim down sights), got stuck in ADS, couldn't sprint, got stuck on terrain, fell 10 feet under the surface of the earth & could kill people, glitched through rocks, committed suicide by stepping in crater, had many hit detection issues (unloading a clip into someone and no hit marker whatsoever), lost audio, lockup at loading screen, disappearing thrown grenades, ragdoll craziness, black walls coming out of people, gun tracers hanging in the air, squad invites not receiving, etc

This is pretty much, a trainwreck. If this demo didn't have the famous name "BATTLEFIELD" on it, most people would dismiss this game as just another FPS.

Really disappointed with this, and honestly dumbfounded how EA and DICE could drop such an awful preview of a game just weeks before its retail release.

Here I was days ago, 100% sure that I was getting BF3. Now I'm not so sure. Definitley not going to preorder, I can tell you that.

:/

I'm going to get it regardless and want to see if they drop a day one patch, as they have usually supported their community pretty well. The demo does have it's fair share of problems though.

Well it is a beta right? of course that seems like to many glaring issues to be fixed before a release. When is the release.
