Player feedback leads to first round of improvements

Much of DICE's new Battlefield 3 clip is stuff you could see for yourself by downloading and joining the game's Open Beta – but if you're especially guarded with your enthusiasm, there's plenty of suggestions as to what you might consider being impressed by when you get online. There's a more practical purpose to the video too, though: those new to the series' Rush Mode and character classes can consider this a quick Battlefield primer. Will it stop new entrants getting killed by more experienced players? Maybe not, though at least there's something to aim towards.

With all the pyrotechnics on show, one might forget that this Open Beta serves a purpose in the game's development – at least, until the first time one encountered any of the download's more “work-in-progress” elements. It would be an especially churlish soul who'd complain, under the circumstances: much better to submit feedback to DICE on what needs fixing. The company's already building a list of fixes it'll be making as a result of player feedback. Here's the first round of improvements posted to EA's Battlefield Blog:
