It will run untill October 10th, So enough time to unlock a lot and play the objective.
It plays very smoothly, the controls are great and looks amazing on Console.

@Dday: I have never played Battlefeild but press start maybe there is an option to turn the brightness up? And yeah when you're new to FPS games it's hard, but you'll get used to it. I remember my first ever online match on MW2, I went 1-20. It was terrible... it was so bad I got excited when I went neutral lol. But yeah just keep playing and you'll get better at it.

- Drop Ammo (if support class) whenever a couple teammates are around.
- Drop Medkits (if assualt) it helps out everyone.
- Play the objective, You will get easy points.
- Blind firing an enemy suppresses them their screen goes blurry and moment is limited.
- When seeing a enemy press select to spot them incase you miss out on the kill or is to far away.
- When sniping stay away from the main battle, Spot the hell out of everything and take shots when you know you can kill them.
- Revive. revive. revive. But don't revive if there's a ton of enemy's around because you will get yourself and maybe other teammates killed.
- Bi-pods are brilliant at suppressing enemy's once deployed.
- Press up on the D-Pad to change firing mode from full auto to semi or single shot, Do this if you have bad aim and to save on ammo if you don't have a ammo box near you.
- Turn off Flashlights and Laser sights when running toward your own team, You can blind them and being blinded by own team is never fun.
It does take a while to get used to compared to other shooters, Most things you will learn just by playing the game.

Turning off lights is Down D-pad, And to turn them on is the same button.
No Caspian border unfortunately, It was on the PC version for a couple of days for internal testing but no longer up, and wasn't included in the console client download. I wanted to play that map so bad because that is a true Battlefield map.
I'm basing this off of the 360 controls it may be slightly different on PS3, Just tap buttons untill you get what you want

Yesterday I unlocked Infra Red scope on my M416, Its so easy to rack up kills with the scope everyone glows orange its super easy to identify them and gun them down. Maybe it may be a little OP.

But an Infra Red Scope? My god that sounds amazing. But I don't think I can even find the time to play the beta that much anymore. School and work is taking up most of my time during the weekdays, so fun time because really limited.

The IR scope is decent but as I said it may be a little overpowered as enemies are easy to see from a distance.

Forgive me for asking, but why is that bad? Isn't it good to spot enemies easily from a distance?
One of the small things this game has that I like is the ability to run and jump over objects at the same time.

Atleast the game tries to match people up with similar ranks and all that though (I think), so noobs getting matched with high ranks shouldn't be much of a problem unless they're in a party with high ranks or something.

Matchmaking can be alright sometimes, I have been put into game with Level 38 players and even level 50s, But they could have easily have gotten to that level by putting med kits down giving out ammo and reviving people. One match I did terrible kill/death wise but I had the most points because I was a team player by reviving team mates and putting med kits everywhere.

When you die or begin a game there should be a customise kits menu before selecting your kit and from there you can change your guns/scopes and other attachments. It may be square or circle to access this menu.

The beta ends today...Leaving me with 18 days without battlefield 3 (damn Europe release being on the 28th), The beta has spoiled me I cant go back to other games anymore.
Want more gamplay of different maps I have you sorted out. And on the PS3 version video you can see some of the hud and menus changes that will be present in the retail version
