My son has been trying out BF3 Beta in both PS3 and PC formats. . .

. . . he is leaning to get the PC version because it supports teams of 64, while PS3 only 32 [I think I got it right]

And he says the big dogs tend to play these sort of games on PC.

Battlefield 3 Beta Hacked


In what's starting to sound as inevitable as death and taxes, it seems someone's managed to hack the Battlefield 3 beta currently underway, unlocking alternative game modes, namely support for up to 128 simultaneous guys running through the streets of a certain famous French municipality, guns-a-blazin'. That's the...shall we say intriguing news.

The bad news, is that if you partake of this ill-gotten feature, you may see your EA Origins account suspended, locking you out of not just the Battlefield 3 beta, but everything else—legitimate or no—associated with the account.

Battlefield 3 is a team game at its core, and players are rewarded for helping the team. Killing an enemy will get you plenty of points, of course, but skirmishes lost to a more skilled adversary aren't always without value. You'll likely still get points for a kill assist, or even for spotting the enemy, which puts a red marker above his head so your teammates can track him down. That helps you climb up the scoreboard even if you're not channeling John Rambo and turning entire enemy squads into hamburger.

You might think the reward system makes the game unfair and frustrating, since more skilled and experienced players have more gadgets. But believe it or not, it seems to work the other way around. You see someone with a cool add-on, or you pick up a discarded gun you've never seen before, and you think, Man, I want that in my loadout. In my experience, the reward system only makes Battlefield 3 more addictive.

In the end, the Battlefield 3 beta has proven be shockingly addictive and surprisingly well balanced. It's already eaten up four hours of my life, and it threatens to consume many more. I'm not sure how long this infatuation will last or whether the full game will prove as exhilarating after a few weeks or months. Still, this is the first time I've truly had fun playing a Battlefield game online, and that's saying a lot.

From what I can tell, this title takes the best parts of the Battlefield series, Counter-Strike, and Modern Warfare, and it smushes 'em all together into one gorgeous-looking package with amazing sound effects and a neat web interface to tie it all together.

Battlefield 3 has had a couple months to sink into the minds of gamers everywhere. After a very successful launch it is among the top tier of shooters on the market; with its combination of amazing visuals, realistic audio, and strategic team play, EA and DICE have managed to create something spectacular. We had the chance to ask Johan Andersson, Rendering Architect at DICE, a few questions about the technology that Battlefield 3 is built on and how AMD assisted the team during development.
