BF3 - Beta has been on my Origin.exe for the longest time, unused.How about you guys, at DICE, If you ever read this,USE that beta.exe of BF3 and hold up a Beta-Battlelog for the newest patches before you release them to the PC, Xbox and PS3, if you can't test it thoroughly yourselves.This is a long shot, but what I really want and actually my whole team @ Catalyst-Gaming - http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391314763754/ [battlelog.battlefield.com]Would be to BETA test these patches that you bring up on the table before you toss them out the window.The game is bugged as ever, but consider this.Also, Thank you for;Reactive armor not absorbing correctly incoming projectiles, Armor breaking left when getting hit Right.TV-Missile not registering as a hit even though aimed directly at a target.TV-Missile explodes on deployment, destroying the helicopter instantly.Amazing new guns with iron-sights that then don't line up correctly with RDS or Holographic sights and so on.-Mostly noticeable with the M417 and MTAR-21SOFLAM is almost immortal, also SOFLAM doesn't lock targets like it should and skips targets like mad.SOFLAM locking on targets 2300+ meters away.Lock-On warning beeps forever even though nothing is locking on you.Tanks still drifting around like Honda Civics on a wet-track.Tank Shells not registering when hitting aircraft (I call it Black Bug Puff).Players can now "steal" enemy aircraft without taking off and be invulnerable to any form of damage and destroy anything on an aircraft carrier, for example.-------------Bottomline, If DICE really is to put out these big patches without testing it and after a while these kind of bugs surface (though the list is A LOT bigger i would assume).There is no way to just hotfix it fast due to the consoles always wanting a huge chunk of pie to deliver the patch.So we as the PC BF3 Community should encourage DICE to let us test their patches with the BETA.exe of BF3 somehow and keep them up to date on what is really wrong because the way things are being run now is ludicrous.-Muffin-K1ng- Throwing in a few links here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyTvaWY-k0w [youtube.com] - Decent hidden patch-notes and a few more bugs.
