So… how ’bout that Battlefield 3 Beta? It’s been out for a little over a week now; what’s your verdict?
If you said, “Pretty fun, but pretty glitchy!” you’d be right on track with how I’ve felt about it so far. I haven’t managed to play much, but what I have played has been fast, fun and frantic, but also fall-through-the-floor funny. Just keep telling yourself it’s a beta and you’ll get through it.
Of course, seeing a few glitches wasn’t enough to make me (seriously) reconsider my pre-order. On the contrary, I’ve even gone so far as to create a Dtoid platoon for the 360 version just so I’m ready and able when the full game drops in a few weeks! And hey, you should join it! And after that, why not play a round or ten with your fellow Dtoider?
All the cool kids are doing it.
New to FNF? Read this! Each week, a bunch of us Dtoiders get together to play videogames online! It’s a 100% community-run event, so feel free to join in or even host something yourself!
The planning for FNF starts in the forums, where community members volunteer to host matches and post their pertinent details (game, time, Gamertag, etc.). Then, every Friday, reminder posts go up in the community blogs followed by a recap post here on the front page for last-minute planning.
To join in, simply send a friend request to the match host! (Don’t forget to say you’re from Dtoid!) If you’d rather host something yourself, sound off in the comments section below!
We hope to see you online!
