Battlefield 3 PC Beta Impressions

It's hard to believe that the Battlefield series has been around for over a decade, kicking off with the innovative, if somewhat inglorious, Codename Eagle way back in '99. While other shooters were content to let players run around maps the size of your backyard, Dice was already experimenting with battlefields that rivalled the size of a small state. Twelve long years later, and we've finally had a chance to really put Battlefield 3 through its paces, with the release of the Battlefield 3 Beta. Let's take a look to see how the series has evolved.
