DICE Lashes Out at Angry BattleField 3 Fans

4.7
Things hit the fans recently on the BattleField 3 EA UK forums.

It seems that certain members of the community forum weren’t too happy when it was announced that Operation Metro was going to be the provided map during the beta testing period of the game. This announcement came AFTER DICE had previously claimed otherwise, that the Operation Metro wasn’t going to be used for beta. Apparently some fans had their hearts set on a different map to play during the beta ( one that would allow up to 64 players ) and became somewhat upset by the news.

When the complaints became loud a forum moderator shared his opinion on the matter:

DICE Lashes Out at Angry BattleField 3 Fans

Almost immediately after the mod hit the submit button on his post the entire thread was deleted, but not before someone made the above screen shot of it.

Was the mod’s response to the disgruntled fans in this case appropriate or over-the-top?

GuyNamedBob its funny when DICE gets all defensive over the smallest things. I would be 100% on their side if they didn't already promise people it would be a different map.


When did they promise it would be a different map?
read the whole article. not just the post in the picture


Yeah i seen that but i don't remember them saying it would be a different map. Thats why i asked you.

The mod is 100% right, You should be grateful that the betas even being made public. They dont have to make it public if they dont want to.

The Mod's actions were that of a normal person, and he is right BETA's are a gift not a right so just be happy they released it lol

Why do they even complain? They can be happy to get a beta.

BF3Posted:

People should stop being so ungrateful.

We should be happy that we are getting a beta with all the effort DICE are putting into this game. All the game expos they have gone to and let people play the game already, all the trailers and gameplay they are putting out for us and they have already had the alpha for PC.

Operation Metro looks like a great map anyway.

I don't care about this beta. BF3 is going to be better than MW3, I'm still buying both. MW3 will out sell BF3. Nuff said

TTG_Keo well it looks like he had second thoughts on his post lol think of the response he would get lots of hate messages

i know right, what do you expect from customers who want a taste of the game?
and i got MOH special edition, do i have the right to the beta, tbh i would of prefered a closed beta, it gets the HC players in and the noobs out


Seems like BF3 has the same immaturity of COD kids.

Yea, i said it.


ok mate cod is shite that's why i pre ordered battlefield lol
