Hehe, it's fun. Early Access FTW! lol :D
The beta is pretty buggy. Constant freezes and crashes. Lots of people have this issue. And a lot of other bugs, like jumping through your own body, press Q to spot has no voices, etc.
The game is fun and pretty easy to kill, but dies a lot too.
The game is fun. It's addicting in a way. There is no commo rose in this, even though it was confirmed, perhaps the final game will have it.

Many of the crashes and video glitches can be fixed simply by installing the new nvidia beta drivers as is recommended. Of course this is for those with nvidia based cards.
Im enjoying the beta, it is a beta so I dont expect it to be perfect. A good teaser of what is to come soon.

I have tried installing the new one but it always fails. I tried uninstalling and removing and just updating the video driver, none worked. I am not gonna reinstall windows just for this. I am not the only one with this problem. Lots of people are unable to install it and encounter crashes/freezing in game. It's annoying but oh well.
At least it is fun. It is very addicting. Today will have millions of people playing lol, it's gonna lag perhaps. I do want the conquest 64/Capsian border in the beta but it's a good thing, it's not or else everyone would lag like crazy.

Caspian border is available, server require a password though, i was lucky enough to get the play on it. I would have thought they would release it to the open beta in a few days, or at least they should. After metro i was disappointed, but Caspian is in a whole new league, huge map, all vehicles, amazing visuals.
Exactly what i wanted from a battlefield game, i have reported a few bugs but there is nothing game breaking yet.

Well though it may be available but like u said it is PWed. EA is doing testing on it. Isn't it only for the developers or something? I managed to get in but unable to play. The screen is blacked but I can hear sounds. It just says beta at the top. I didn't get to play but at least I got in. :D I just assumed I didn't have the map file.
So how is it? Is it fun? WHAT'S HAPPENING?! hehe.
And yes, Operation Metro does get boring after a while since, it's just infantry only. Don't know why they took out the vehicles from the Alpha version. OM is not the best way to showcase the game but I guess DICE wants to lure COD gamers in with COD style gameplay but I don't think that's a good idea to do that. At least they should lure them in with BF gameplay style. If the Caspian Border ever get unlocked, I want in! :D

I manage to get in a match with the pw Mystic provided. :p
It was awesome! Textures does flicker, but game is pretty smooth. Little lag. It's pretty hectic, great map. Can be a bit too big. I didn't get to chance to drive the jet but I did drive the jeep. Got a few kills but it was fun. Then it frozed. lol
Feels very BF-ish. Could be better.
Everyone was one my squad is trying to get in a jet. They are all waiting. -_-. Not a good thing.
Eh, it was fun. Wished to play as the Americans though.
