Battlefield 3 beta simultaneous players up 600% over BC2

4.5

The currently on-going beta testing of Battlefield 3 has proven to be massively successful for EA and DICE. In the second beta update on the series official blog, general manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson says that DICE is seeing “6 times the number of simultaneous players in the Battlefield 3 Open Beta compared to the Beta for Battlefield: Bad Company 2!”

The public beta kicked off less than a week ago.

To give some comparison, the Bad Company 2 sampler early last year was downloaded 2 million times in its first 5 days of availability.

The blog post also reiterates that the main purpose for the beta is to stress test the servers and backend, and that the game on show is based over a month old code, so bugs are to be expected; “the code you are now playing is actually quite early and not representative of the final game.”

“The final game will look, play and sound better than the Open Beta. You have helped making sure of that.”

I don't even wanna hear it. The **** graphics are better then MW3. MW3 is soo **** cartoonish and it's the same graphics from MW2. THE SAME **** ENGINE MEANS SAME **** GRAPHICS! GOT THAT? BATTLEFIELD 3 CREATED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. Now shut up cause I don't wanna hear "MW3 IS BETTER" cause your just another cod fanboy. I've been playing cod since cod4 and right now, cod is at the end of its toll but the devs won't quit, when they **** should. You can't make that game any better because it requires changing the whole entire system which the devs are too lazy to **** do.

I agree. The first guy has no right to insult Battlefield, when CoD is literally the same thing every time. And if you would actually read the article, the beta is based off an early build of the game, and is not near the quality of the Full game. People need to learn to read before blindly posting their opinions...

...If they consider losing over 100k in pre orders successful...then yeah! sure!

Actually that is false information.

Actually it really isnt false information.

More like 34k but those people are stupid enough to think that was the full game and they should reconsider buying it after reading this post.
