freaky, was talking to a mate yesterday and we were saying they might have shot themselves in the foot a bit by releasing a beta rather than a proper demo because people (americans) are stupid.

 regarding what Sunz said, the back to karkand pack was made along side the game as special content for pre-orders.

What happens when kids get in to gaming, they obviously can't work out what a beta is about and they see it as some demo like that are used to playing on ps3 or 360.
Be nice if they did fix the bugs but still would seem they started to create maps and weapons a while back for dlc.

Ofcourse they did, as it was always going to release along side pre-orders. That's not saying that they didn't put as much effort in to the full game. The full game will be a million times different from the beta regarding bugs and such, just forget about it and play it for a bit of fun.

Yeah it's a lot of money but the beta will have brought more orders in than what they've lost. It's just sad that people are that fucking stupid that they would cancel a pre-order after playing one map and game mode on the beta. People obviously dont know the difference between a demo and a beta.
The pre-orders hadn't brought any money in yet either so they havent lost anything essentially, just potential orders.

Needs more than 4 in a squad! Any idea if they've changed this? There's sometimes 6-8 of us playing on 360

i think 5 but i dont know why i think that.
moaning about the menu system is pathetic! of cause its not going to be like that in the retail!! it was fine in the alpha but i guess if you didnt play the alpha then they wouldnt of known.

Had a strange bug last night where it wouldn't let me aim down the sight for about 2/3 minutes, was quite frustrating

Didnt think of doing that, managed to get 2 kills just firing from the hip Then it came back.
Come to think of it, i probably did better with no aiming than i did aiming

i've not had a single hip fire kill yet, it's like it does no damage 
I'd love this so much more if it had a HC mode for me to play.
