I jumped in on the xbox (I wanted to get it on the PC when I got my new computer, but of course my friends only have xboxes and I'd rather play with them). I am hoping this is a beta from 2 or 3 months ago, because while it shows the great potential this game has, especially the update in the Frostbite engine, the glitches are insane. The matchmaking is horrible, the party system (while updated) fails, the game has load failures consistently, and has crashes consistently. Of course, also, the frequent map and similar issues (the hole at alpha, first base, falling through floors and rocks etc.). A few engine quirks too, like grenades colliding with leaves in bushes (never throw a grenade while prone in or near a bush)
There are, of course great things. I love the map design, the graphics are good where the textures are complete, the new engine is fluid in character movement and weapon fire. The unlock system is what I hoped for in the last game, I could go on and on. There is so much potential for this game to be amazing...if this isn't really all they have a month before release.
