Would be a strange reason. After all, betas and demos are supposed to get people interested enough to buy the game, and great-looking visual do sell games for the casual gamer. For comparison, practically nobody had the hardware to run FarCry or Crysis on maximum settings when they were released, but that did not stop Crytek releasing demos with maximum details allowed.

Also, since betatesting is supposed to reveal problems in the game, shouldn't the max settings be included just to see what happens to the game when a client runs out of resources - does it cause warping, lag for others, what?

Oh well. Maybe they think that if a max-detail beta is released, too many people will get enough of vanilla BF3 before ever buying the retail version, so they hold the full visuals back as an incentive to buy it.

Btw, didn´t DICE say they´d change the "enemy spotted doritos" so that they´d disappear after you lose visual contact with the spotted enemy and yet we see that feature in-game. Oh, and what about the COM-ROSE, is it already in-game?

They say so, but playing the beta...and it's the same thing, the same doritos going through rock and bushes and everything. C-Rose is not in the beta perhaps full game.

Didn´t they promised to add the COMMO-ROSE atleast to the PC version, after a fierce protest of fans?
I´m not sure if I´ll ever get this game. From what DICE has released and from what I´ve read/seen in reviews this game looks more and more like some bland hotch-potch of "great" features and less like a unique and "true" Battlefield game...
It´s just so much stuff, like BC-styled spotting, all that unlock-rank-insignia-madness, small-ish maps, removal of bombs from jets, slow flying jets, auto heal, no mod and map support and that Origin with its rather creepy  EULAs...I think I rather safe my money for something else.

just log in with your EA account  ::)

if you can't be bothered, Ill sum it up: it's a collection of funny threads that contain the phrase "dice promised", some of them are very amusing to read, in their own little naive cutyness

Just answer my question. Is it the same I use to log into BF2? Stop with the eyerolling. Not all of us use something like that so you shouldnt take it for granted.
