Now that the full version of Battlefield 3 is out, we can take a look back at some of the best glitches that the beta brought us, courtesy of this YouTube video!
EA ran an advertisement using the song “99 Problems” by Jay-Z, which ensured us that a bitch is not one of Battlefield 3‘s problems. A glitch, though, is another story.
The video features many hilarious bugs compiled into one concise clip with Jay-Z’s song playing over it. While it’s not too long, it’s quite entertaining, so check it out!

Yeah,they’re all from the beta, but I stil encounter a few classics (bugs/glitches) in the finished product, so hopefully they will get sorted out soon.

Friday, October 28, 2011 at 11:20 AMI spent yesterday running through the single player game yesterday and came across a number of minor glitches and one game ending one.
I remember a time when glitches in major games were the stuff of legends (eg. Mario’s world -1). Is it just me or are glitches becoming more common place in the current generation of games?

Friday, October 28, 2011 at 1:01 PM“Games are more complex” is an excuse for longer development time, not glitches. Especially in the single player corridor shooter experience. I am more understanding of open world games.

Friday, October 28, 2011 at 12:16 PMMy favourite was the “TurtleMan” glitch where you would see the enemy on the kill cam and their arms and next would be elongated, looked hilarious.

Friday, October 28, 2011 at 2:16 PMI think most people who have commented know that it is Beta footage.

Friday, October 28, 2011 at 6:30 PMI personally encountered more glitches in the single player than I did in the beta. In the beta I only came across falling though the map. In the single player I’ve had AI not acknowledging my existence, getting stuck in a tank and not being able to move, not loading character models (I did the final fight quick time event without Solomon being visible, it was like I was in Fight Club) and dead characters standing around like scarecrows. I’ve had no issues with the multiplayer at all which is good.
