Anyone here play the BF3 beta yet?

I've been playing it and it may just be me, but it seems like everybody in the game uses the UMP45 and can snipe you with it from a thousand yards. And if you get a crummy team, don't even bother trying. Its super easy to spawn camp the attackers if you get behind them.

The rockets are more like fireworks. They won't kill anyone unless its a direct hit. And people using flashlights to blind each other is really annoying. You can even blind your own teammates just by running next to them.

Thoughts?

IMO they need to tweak a bunch of stuff in this game

I disagree about the rockets, you're right about not damaging enough but it's the ultimate suppressing weapon and if your first rocket didn't kill the second one will. And yes the UMP45 is a joke!
And for all the peeps out there who thinks that the SVD and MK11 are insta-kills. The beta is based on a damage system about your speed. e.g. You take the most damage sprinting and the least standing still. This is removed from the final game. And flashlights, they are a huge joke. But come to understand that half of the one map that is playable is dark in tunnels. I don't see much use in daylight.

I really enjoyed the Beta and had no problems with it. Although I can definitely see some places where camping will be a problem on that map. Specifically the entrances into the Metro, all three of them are really open and the defenders have plenty of cover.

I know I'm a bit late but I've been gone, so **** you guy thinking "Why's this asshole bumping this thread.".
