Quote
article from gamingunion.net on Battlefield 3.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 hasn't even hit retail shelves yet, but already there's been sparse talk of the inevitable release of Battlefield 3. In an interview with Fredrik Liliegren, the CEO of DICE from 1988 to 2000, and Studio Manager of DICE Canada from 2001 to 2006, Liliegren told GamingUnion.net what he could about Battlefield 3.
Gaming Union: How do you think the Battlefield series has developed since you left DICE?
Liliegren: Well I knew that they were going to the console route because the numbers on the PC where dwindling. I know what they were talking about on the PC side for [the next] Battlefield, and they haven't announced any of that yet, after three years, so I know what's coming, and I still can't talk about it because I'm still under NDA (non-disclosure agreement).
I mean Battlefield Heroes is something that we talked about back when even Jeff [Evans] was working at DICE, in regards of taking Battlefield into a micro-transaction type model. We actually worked on that initial prototype for that here in Canada, just to see how we would split it up from a design standpoint.
I think for the console side, the first outing on [Xbox] 360 and PS2 and Xbox was really weak because we didn't have a single player experience. I think that Bad Company 2 is going to be really good because I think these guys are really smart and they learned the lesson. What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it's going to absolutely blow everyone away, but I can't tell you what it is, but it will blow people away.
GU: Even after 3 years?
Liliegren: That's why it's going to blow people away, because it's not Modern Warfare 2 PC, it's not that experience.
Considering Liliegren no long works for DICE, his opinion of the game is likely a lot more honest than you'd hear from any current executive. DICE has themselves confirmed that they've been developing Battlefield 3 for some years.
Will the next Battlefield game be mind blowing? Rumor also has it that will have the Frostbite 2 engine. After all these years of little leaks about the game, would you expect it to be anything less than a hit?
Quote
Rumor: Battlefield 3 to go Multi-Platform
The former CEO of DICE, Frederick Liljegren, wouldn't be too surprised if the next installment of the Battlefield series, Battlefield 3, found its way onto the consoles in addition to a PC release. While, obviously, this is merely speculation on the part of a former CEO of the company, there is some basis in his statements.
During his time with DICE, Frederick Liljegren worked on the PC side of things, but reports that the franchise was likely moving towards console releases when, or if, the next Battlefield segment rolled out due to declining numbers of PC users (though Battlefield 3 will still be available for PC).
While details are still transparent, at best, surrounding the new release, judging by the tone of the press release given by Liljegren, be prepared to have your mind blown.
Again, nothing is confirmed so far as Battlefield 3 is concerned. Just sit tight and wait for official details to be revealed about the game that every Battlefield fan is eagerly waiting for.
Donate at least 5 US per month, and you get a permanent reserve slot for that month. A permanent slot means that you always get to play when you join the server. No more waiting.

I see they mentioned that pc numbers are dwindling, but it is impossible to convince me that all the consoles combined have a BCBC2 player base that's anywhere near that of the PC.
In that light, how on earth bf3 could possibly a console game. BF is the new cod oui, what Modern Warfare wished it could be.

Ah boy EA...nice one.
Love em or hate em...I can't knock their hustle. I think they realise by now that the kind of pre-release buzz that was generated by the first Bad Company 2 just isn't there for Medal Of Honor. Personally, I'm not having as much fun with the beta as I did with BC2. Dare I say its kinda 'plain'?
I'm sorry, but BC2 has spoiled me. The bar was raised to new heights with that game, and the MP for MoH has been found wanting.
Still...I know I'm buying Battlefield 3 for sure, but early beta access sure would be nice. :happy0203:
Kudos to EA for making it multiplatform.

Im looking forward to it , All they need to do is take Bad Company 2's core gameplay and bring back Battlefield 2's range of vehicles , large maps and 64 player game modes. Destructable environments would make bombing aircraft truly deadly . I'd also like to see naval vessels make a return, maybe with some ship to ship combat as well

We can hope ,but i don't see 64 players or big map or air combat with play because of the consoles.
Destructible environments might not make it in this bf3 if it has big maps.If they said they could not do it in bc2 (which is the same team doing bf3 i think) we will not see big maps,But it's dice and dice can do almost anything thing.
But i hope it's not a port like bc2 was (which it is going to be),so let just hope and pray this a a real battlefield game.
Btw Consoles are killing us from having good pc games.(well at least these consoles that are out)
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: Notnice on July 31, 2010, 06:52:27 PM
Here's what we know so far about bf3 (Found this a the ea forums)
" Information on Battlefield 3 has been very scarce the past few years but there have been actual confirmations from EA and DICE employees over the years with its fair share of rumors to go with it.
Confirmation: - As early as November 2007, EA registered the web domain www.battlefield3.com (http://www.battlefield3.com). This coincides with rumors that Battlefield 3 was in development since as early as 2006. (If those rumors are to be believed, and BF3 is due out in 2011 or 2012, that would put BF3 in a 5 to 6 year development cycle.)
- June 11th 2009: During financial presentation, EA COO John Pleasants reveals DICE is already hard at work on a new installment in its core Battlefield franchise, due sometime during publisher’s next fiscal year. Pleasants told analysts during a question-and-answer session. “We are putting a real concentrated effort behind [our] (shooter) titles. Battlefield happens to be one of them…I’ve had the luxury of looking at Battlefield 3 over at DICE over in Sweden. I was highly impressed by the way the people were working on that product. That’s not for this fiscal year [ending March 31, 2010], but that is a product that is looking very good.”
The Insider Interview:
- Feb 2010: In an interview with Fredrik Liliegren, the CEO of DICE from 1988 to 2000, and Studio Manager of DICE Canada from 2001 to 2006, Liliegren told GamingUnion.net what he could about Battlefield 3.
Gaming Union: How do you think the Battlefield series has developed since you left DICE?

I think for the console side, the first outing on 360 and PS2 and Xbox was really weak because we didn't have a single player experience. I think that Bad Company 2 is going to be really good because I think these guys are really smart and they learned the lesson. What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it's going to absolutely blow everyone away, but I can't tell you what it is, but it will blow people away.
GU: Even after 3 years? Liliegren: That's why it's going to blow people away, because it's not Modern Warfare 2 PC, it's not that experience. Considering Liliegren no long works for DICE, his opinion of the game is likely a lot more honest than you'd hear from any current executive. DICE has themselves confirmed that they've been developing Battlefield 3 for some years.
Personal note: Notice how he differentiates the Battlefield 3 PC version – almost as if it’s a separate entity from the others?
The Beta announcement and reaction
-July 30th 2010: EA announced that purchasers of the Limited Edition of Medal of Honor for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will receive an invitation to the beta. There is no date to when the beta starts but will most likely begin in Early to Mid 2011.
- News of BF3 going fully multiplatform sends shockwaves thru the internet. PC gamers think the worst and everyone is quick to jump to their own conclusions. The game hasn’t even been shown in any form. And no official details have ever been released.
- July 31st 2010: Alan Kertz (Battlefield developer) aka Demize99 tweets: “Battlefield 3: Lessons in Unorthodox Game Announcements.” A humorous response to the massive backlash and fan assumptions with the news of the multiplatform beta.
The initial BF3 rumors:
- Set in modern day (just like BF2) - 40 players PER team. 40 vs 40 battles. - Squads and Commanders are present, introduced are “Battalions” which consist of three to four squads. - Two playable factions, NATO and MEC (Middle Eastern Coalition) - Same “ticket-based” [conquest] gameplay style as before - BF3 Maps are mostly urban, based in Middle East - Five playable classes; Sniper, Assault, Engineer, Medic and Support - Will feature 48 different BF3 vehicles (24 for each faction) - Will feature 34 different BF3 weapons (17 for each faction) and another 22 unlocks (for both factions), in total 56 different weapons. - Other unlocks include different types of ammunition, body armor, helmets, camouflage and accessories. - Battlefield 3 Online stats tracking, awards and “real world ranks” - “Soldier” feature, looks like MMO-styled characters and avatars - Battlefield 3 Ranked servers will be available for resellers weeks before the game ships (for testing, apparently, ed.) - In-game replay and recording feature - VoIP, friends list, in-game IM-client and “extensive clan support” - Built in auto software updater (no more patches!, ed.) - Widows Vista and OS X - A map is mentioned by name, called “Baghdad Burning”, and appears to be a massive urban map, similar to BF2’s very popular “Strike at Karkand”. - Among the leaked features are some impressively large numbers: 56 total weapons, 48 total vehicles, and most stupefying of all, 40 vs. 40 battles. With teams that big, it's no wonder they're also reportedly adding a new tier to the squad mechanics introduced in Battlefield 2. Squads and the commander role return, but now three or four squads will form a battalion.
Final Personal Note
All signs point to Battlefield 3 being DICE's absolute master work. With a dev cycle of 4+ (possibly 6) years, to all the past experience theyve gained, to building a brand new game engine in house for years, to ex-DICE employees' massive hype who have seen BF3 in action. Its a shame their baby got dumped on by the "reveal" when the beta news dropped (+ the fact that no one has even seen it!) - but I have no doubt they are just itching to finally show BF3 off to the world.

More info about the frostbite 2 Engine
The next generation of the Frostbite Engine will make its debut with Battlefield 3. It has become known that the engine is being designed to take full advantage of the DirectX 11 API. DirectX 10 support will also be included, albeit with some of the engine features disabled, while support for DirectX 9 and Windows XP will be dropped.

i think the best thing to do that would make bf3 a perfect success is make it for the pc exclusive.
I'm inclined to agree...but that console (cash) cow is to fat to ignore...and then all the console weenies will be like 'oh noes...we hatez EA/DICE'. The Bad Company series should continue on consoles, and the core Battlefield franchise on PC, but who am I kidding? :laughing7:

Thats not accurate, not all COD played will hate it because of the quantity of players or jets (which btwm they have not specified HOW they will implement jets) or the size of the maps. If you make it so that mobility on a map isn't hindered then its fine, however making a game where the gameplay literally GRINDS to a halt because noone can find anyone else WILL make ANY player question the ideology behind it. Also in getting to the opponent you always get picked off by snipers so that mobility is AGAIN hindered significantly making for a 'campers ONLY' game would also make it CRAP.

Cod players will hate the game not because of the 64 players, but more because of the different shooting mechanics. When I had started playing COD4 in leagues n shit I had to stop playing BF2 because the control and shooting were so different that playing both at the same time was affecting my shot in COD4. I believe both COD and Battlefield have their place in modern gaming as I find myself attracted to both games because of how good they are at what they bring to the table.

Winny trust me 64 players in an FPS is freakin epic, honestly in terms of war games more really is better. Most of my prized moments in gaming came from playing BF2 all those years and the only game that I have had the same feelings as BF2 was Joint Ops and lo and behold that mc game had 128 player servers which truly as a feat to play. Lastly the thing about the jets... back in my BF2 days I used to run with a squad and on said squad had a guy named CrazyD who didnt really like shooters but was a flight sim maniac so all he did really as fly jets/bombers/attack choppers with his overly expensive joystick setup. BF2 was actually 2 games in 1 a fps and also a flight game when you jump into a jet it is truly another game.

EVEN IF sony get party chat d game party size Is FOUR so when u get into a game gonna add random ppl to ur friends list, hope they accept a total strangers friend request, then join said strangers party chat? i rest my case.

Squads of four work. SONY needs to work on their party voice chat system accordingly.
Can't blame dice for sony's nonsense come on.

...as usual...cant bring your point across without showing off your ignorant attitude. I guess you cant help it bro.
But I do understand what you trying to say. I was wrong in my take on your beef but I think I got it now.
Personally, I dont roll with randoms. If my boys not with me then I play as well as I can given the support I get.
Randoms, 9 out of 10 times are idiots and even if you had 40 man squads, it just means that youre gonna be more likely to get to spawn on someone close to your objective.
See how that is done? In case you didnt notice, there's no primary school attitude anywhere in this post.

well yuh see when i've been sayin this for like a month now and ppl STILL dont get what i trying to say about what d limitations are and keep saying is sony fault, i really hate repeating myself over and over, which i have been doin every time this is brought up, and have very little patience and d main ppl arguing against the obvious point i trying to make are ppl without ps3s or ppl who now get it/rarely play it
squad size is not a problem again MAG has 8 man squads but we can get 128 ppl in d party spread across 16 squads if needed, and communicate between squads
BC2 have a squad size of 4 which is also used as the party limit so once u get ur 3 friends in thats it...no more and still cant communicate between squads which is a severe fault of an objective based game which trying to promote teamwork.
how are u suppose to have REAL teamwork if u cant talk to other squads? if me an the 3 ppl out of 100 i choose to invite to my party get in game how we suppose to tell another squad "hey the chokepoint to the left is a high traffic area, i think its best we take a squad or 2 over there to lock off that chokepoint"
we cant, so we have to HOPE ppl realise this and are willing to go there, we also have to HOPE ppl on d same page when on offense and we need to make a coordinated push since we cant say "hey, take 2 squads sneak around back and ill take my squad and another and draw their attention from the front and we catch em in a crossfire when u get into position" again....we cant....we just have to roll with 3 other ppl and d rest of squads do what they want cuz no one will ever be on the same page 99% of the time
as much as the game likes to tout teamwork it severely lacks it, tbh and is only because of the way PC setup that u can actually achieve some type of teamwork due to servers+mumble and not matchmaking so u cud get more ppl on ur team and still coordinate
which is WHY i hoping DICE stop being lazy and do something about it, because i would actually like to play BF3 and my clan is actually excited about it BUT i have more than 3 ppl in my clan.....and i will not waste money if everytime i hadda choose which 3 i want in my party and then jump in a game and have to HOPE the other squads populated with some slightly intelligent ppl since we cant communicate directly
Killzone learned its lesson KZ2 had 4 man squads with 4 squads per team and no way to communicate to other squads KZ3 rectify that somewhat by upping squad size to 8 and max ppl per team is 12, still cant communicate between squads tho but at least the majority of ppl on the team would be on the same page which is not a problem
so yes the xbox has party chat which can be used as a workaround for comms and PC hav servers no matchmaking and have mumble so it can be used as a workaround as well but dont say is sony fault just because ur system of choice have a workaround for d comms (xbox/PC) and party size (PC) when is the devs who purposely designed both BC and MoH this way

Bf3 will not be like bc2 dice said it will be more like bf2,so there will/should be 6 or 8 man squad.
BTW consoles are limited to 24 players and pc is 64 better of to play this on s pc,but ps3 might be 32 player
well thats what i hoping for 24 players tbh too small for them Maps 32 at least imo
as for the squads/party system i really hope so cuz is 3 games running it like that for consoles

These are all the features confirmed for Battlefield 3. Prone is confirmed for all three platforms Tracers are confirmed. MoH MP and BC2 used the same weapon and FOV systems… BF3 is an upgraded version You can expect awesome destruction effect and vehicle details in the game. Consoles will be able to get the Limited Edition too. Friendly fire is an option No grappling hook or zipline will be there in the game. Vehicle Infantry balance is a huge focus Pre-ordering automatically gets you the Limited Edition of the game without any extra-charge. Dolphin Driving is out

-Aiming for CY Q4 2011 release -Concept for BF3 has been in the works for years, waiting on proper tech to seamlessly come together -Frosbite 2.0 is the culmination of this tech, entirely re-written -Lighting sounds neat, one "probe" contains more lighting information than an entire BFBC2 level. -Level destruction is going to be "believable" but basically everything is destructible. -Character animations powered by ANT, what EA Sports uses. -AI characters and multiplayer characters have different animation sets -No more "gliding" animations that look off, animation realism is a focus -Captured their own war audios (bullets, tanks, helicopters, etc) at different distances to ensure realism -Better audio cues for certain actions, more easily able to listen for threats -Plan on better, more immediate post release content -More unlocks than BFBC2 -Dice trying to find a good balance between customization of your character and not having "pink rabbit hat(s)" -4 classes -Will talk about squads "later" -Looking into a theater mode but can't talk about it -Will have co-op -There will be a kill-cam but it can be turned off -BF3's team is almost twice as big as the team for BFBC2 -They want the pacing of the single player mode to be balanced, with highs and lows. Makes the comparison to a song vs a guitar solo. -Part of the single player mode takes place in Sulaymaniyah - Iraqi Kurdistan. -"lalalala" will be used often, so M rates for sure -There will be an earthquake in a level. The destruction sounds very impressive. 7 story building collapses, looks very well done -Significant narrative that goes with the SP mode -More than one setting, you're not in the middle east for the whole game -PC version is lead version -Why 64 players for PC only? No complains from the console crowd. -No mod tools at release. Maybe none down the line either. Frosbite 2.0 is complex and mods tools would have to be dumbed down, so does Dice really want to put their time to that or would it be better spent elsewhere

As STRANGE as this is gonna sound I really didn't like the trailer... was just TOOO stuttery... I know its to build suspense etc, but I found it annoying, I don't mind short clips, I don't mind SOME stutter, I DO mind what they did which was make me feel like I stealing cable and getting a crappy connection... The Transformers 3 first teaser trailer was VERY nicely balanced with the stop clip/stutter efffect, they should take some notes...

nice video console players definitely need to stand up and complain for more than 24 players on those maps
console players like to just take things as they come and not voice their opinions often enough
remind me never again to watch a video with a white man on a stool complaining unless it was a comedian. Agreed with alot of his points of the game experience but to me it'll boil down to this, making a game with a high capacity on a console is demanding on an individual's internet connection. That's the bottom line. Even with games like Black Ops, 18 man ground war is a LAG fest. Hell, a game wit the normal 12 players is troublesome enough. Unless of course you have the perfect connection and a great ISP and no problems u dont care. Feel free to correct me but this is jus my opinion on my personal experience
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: Arcmanov on March 15, 2011, 02:23:15 PM
Compromises need to be made for console versions of these games, and unfortunately, player count is usually the first to go.
The first argument that is usually presented is '...look how much players in MAG at one time'. Well, MAG might have stellar squad/team comms and play well, but it looks and sounds like absolute $#!t compared to Bad Company 2, and that's a fact. Zipper HAD to trade off something for MAG to be what it is, or else it would have ended up like Black Ops, looking and sounding real nice, but laggy as F@#K.
The hardware needs to scale up, but then it will be closer to a PC, (in price too) and then you'll have to ask yourself, as a gamer 'why not just buy a PC then?'
You want to pay 800 or 900 US for a console then? I think not.

u do know there is something called dedicated servers right????????? u do know PS3 exclusive MAG supports 256....yes 256 players in a single game of domination lag free right??????????????
really dont buy the excuses for limiting the console player count to 24 tbh if is d xbox holding back d player count then limit them not like we could have cross platform play anyway
ill gladly take a dumbin down of graphics and destructibility if it means i can actually have ppl to shoot and not spend more time running looking for ppl

256 players with dedicated servers right. Have to be.
Not everyone is willing to make that dumbing down graphics tradeoff with great gameplay. BO was just horrible looking on the 360, so much so that I just could not look past it. Why can't I have both?
Personally I have been spoiled by BC2 on pc. Stunning graphics, destructible environments, superb gameplay and totally lag free once you on a good server. I can never ever go back to playing any serious mp on a console...unless it satisfies these criteria.
Not sure of any technical reason why 99% of console games are p2p. Thats just a 'console thing' I guess which is a major drawback.
But yeah, time to buy a pc. I guarantee that your console will see MUCH less action.

We were at C2E2 today in Chicago and happened across a special booth. EA/Dice had setup an exclusive booth to show off new footage of the new Battlefield 3. While the footage was behind closed doors and not to be seen by the public just yet, we were able to ask a few questions about the game that had been bothering us for sometime.
The first question we asked was while the PC had 64 players and obviously large maps, if those maps would be in the full glory on the console, or be scaled down to accommodate only 24 players.
The answered we received was that yes, the maps would be scaled down from the larger maps that would be on the PC.
This led to the obvious second question about the maps being smaller on the console. If they are smaller on the console, how would planes adjust to the size?
The answer we received was that planes would actually have a larger airspace and map area to fly around in, versus players on the ground with the “Out of bounds zones.”
The very last question we asked and got an answer for was how the graphics would come across from the beautiful looking PC to the consoles which are dated.
They said, while the consoles were dated, they were able to make technology which basically made these amazing graphics, then through streaming and pipelines, they could compress the information to run through the console and then uncompress as it fed to the television giving the gorgeousness that you see on the PC to the console counterpart.
Unfortunately neither a PS3 or Xbox 360 was to be seen running the game, so only time will tell. Also, we didn’t get a chance to see any multiplayer running on the machines either. Stayed tuned for further updates.
UPDATE: One of our writers Ryan Bullock went into the BF:3 show today and they had the game running on a PS3. He said that the game looked amazing and they had a wall size TV they were showing it on. He will update to what he saw today later.
UPDATE: Hey guys, sorry for the late feedback, but here is what we were shown:
They huddle us into the viewing booth in groups of 20ppl, 3 rows of chairs along the wall infront of what has to be a 100″ Plasma display. One tech guy and one sequirity guard. The tech guy talks a little about their new frostbite 2 engine and how it is a next generation engine running on a current platform. He doesnt go into detail, but rather says its easier to show us than tell us.
He walks over to a desk where there is a PS3 sitting next to another small monitor for his viewing, his back to the 100 incher. He loads up the demo. He has a keyboard and mouse hooked up instead of a PS3 controller, so some migh suggest that he is runing the engine off of a PC hidden somewhere out of site, BUT I was in the front row, about 2 feet away, and I could trace the wires and everything looked legit, the PS3 was pushing the demo!!
The demo was broken into 3 playable chunks. The first 2 we had seem before, the building blowing up and falling, just before cutting away and the part where the group walks outside, a guy gets hit, and your grab him and drag him to safety. After, he did make an emphasis on these aspects, the pulling a guy to safety and that even after getting hit with an IED and flying thrrew the air a few feet, you can still get back up and keep going, a more real experience he emphasized.
The 2nd part was the most interesteing, not graphically, but the gameplay dynamics that are incorporated into this scene. It starts out with you being told to trace a wire to a possible IED down to the basement. He opens an air vent and crawls in. You could see a mouse scurry away, he proceeded to crawl the little maze of the vent system, with what looked like the help of the mouse leading the way, but that could have been coincidents. You get to a vent that is over the basement and you kick it in and drop down to the ground. The animation for this is sick, they fully animate a real person dropping from the ceiling, the impact of the fall to the ground, the stumble to regain your footing, it was all very well done. You start to trace the wire to a caged part of the basement, you choose which wire to pull first, left or right, then all of a sudden an enemy grabs you from your shoulder and a crazy ass fight ensues.
The hand to hand fighting gameplay seemed more robust, the screen will populate options for the mouse, you can punch with either hand, counter punch, throw the enemy. It all happened very quickly, but it seemed like you had much more control than every b4 in an FPS in respect to hand to hand combat. Its almost as if they created a fighting system within the game, a real focus for Battlefield 3.
There you go guys, it was maybe 15 minutes of footage, I was more impressed with the demo guys gameplay, you could tell he had played this demo a millions times b4.
Although the new frotbite 2 egnine has beena huge focus for the media, some of those new gameplay elements, I think< are what is going to make Battlefield 3 a huge contender for GOY come Fall.
So it is not a surprise that consoles are going to get a scaled down map, but how do you think jet fighting will fair with ground units in a smaller area? I would think cover and good AA would be needed to help stop the "fish in a barrel" issues. Maybe the maps will still be large enough that this will not be an issue? I guess time will tell.
What is a bit surprising is the information about hand to hand combat. What are your thoughts on seeing that in Battlefield? Hope to see it in multiplayer or would it be best left in single player? I personally wouldnt be surprised if its single player only cutscenes for the fighting.

DRMB: What’s the inspiration of the storyline of BF3?
Daniel: We wanted to make something after Battlefield 2 that was the true sequel to BF2. If look at Bad Company 1 and 2 that was more of a tongue and cheek experience to the Battlefield series. We didn’t have single player in older versions. We started implementing single player with a real move experience. With Battlefield 3 it’s going to take a much more serious approach then Bad Company. It is situated around a conflict in the Middle East. There will be levels like New York and Paris and won’t be exclusive to the Middle East.
DRMB: What are the key improvements we can see in BF3?
Daniel: Some people say Battlefield aims to be very realistic. We’ve never claimed that title. We wanted to make a semi- realistic gameplay. Our top improvements are: Animation (ANT EA tech in FIFA) You can feel when you crouch, when you drop, when you get shot. Makes the player feel much more immersed in the gameplay then before
Scale is very important to us. Remember the big maps in BF2 which were a lot bigger in BF1942. Not all areas in BF2 and BF42 were combat zones but added to the map. In Bad Company 2, it’s still a sandbox but lacks those extra areas like previous Battlefield titles. We are going back to the big scale levels for BF3
Destruction: Another key point, I don’t think I need to say much about it as everyone has already seen it. The destruction in BC1/2 kind of changed how you played the game. We are taking that a step further in BF3. It’s going to be more tactical then it was in BC2.
Sound is very important for us and I would dare to say that our sound team is the best out there. Battlefield 3 is aiming to be much more realistic to Bad Company 2. The voice overs will be more gritty and if you don’t like cuss words, don’t use your headphones, turn your sound down!
DRMB: So we’ve heard a little bit about the differences between PC and Consoles, what can we expect?
Daniel: Nothing that I can actually say in relations to PC and Consoles. I really feel for the people who want more then 24 players on consoles. But what we are creating in BF3, will be enough for 24 players.

Karl-Magnus Troedsson, DICE’s general manager, explains...
Quote
“PC is the leading platform, conceptually, for this game, definitely. We are going to make this game on 360 and PlayStation 3 as well, [but] we need to scale it down to those platforms. The PC players are going to love to hear that I’ve said that, but that is a fact. The hardware specs, on the console, are limited. At the same time, for each iteration on these console platforms we can utilise the power of them better and better, so what we do on the other platforms is going to be amazing, and look much better on the PC, too. There’s going to be unique features on the PC version of this game, some of which I think people are going to be very pleased about. I can’t reveal all of them here, but I can reveal that there will be a lot of extra love put into the PC version of this product.”

The real treat, however, arrives when Battlefield 3 goes on the air on UStream, directly from the E3 show floor. We’ll be hosting over four hours of programming, including all the news, gameplay footage, interviews, fan reactions, and Q&As you could want, straight from the Battlefield booth at the L.A. Convention Center. The Battlefield 3 Live Stream goes live on Tuesday, June 7 at 1:30p PT until 5p PT and can be available on the Battlefield UStream Channel, Battlefield.com, and the Battlefield Facebook page. Be sure to tune in and we’ll see you on Tuesday!
Classes have also been redesigned in Battlefield 3, giving players new ways to customize their load outs to suit their play style. Riflemen now double as medics, healing players and reviving those who are downed. The Support class is now equipped with a light machinegun and ammo packs, the sniper is a long-range and demolitions expert, and the Engineer is the master of destroying and repairing vehicles. With weapon attachments players can adapt the classes to how they want to play, with Riflemen choosing things like underslung grenade launchers in place of advanced medical equipment, for instance.
The Support class was super important in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 because it could heal, but they're given a new role in Battlefield 3:suppression. Shooting in an enemy's general direction is important in real combat, giving your own team a chance to move and gain position while the enemies are frightened into running for cover. Battlefield 3 takes this into account, and anyone firing a hail of lead near foes – something the Support class is especially good at, much more so with a fancy bi-pod attachment – will suppress the enemy. This not only garners points for the shooter, but dims and shakes the screen of those affected. Shooting to kill is an important role, but shooting to provide actual supporting fire is now emphasized as well.

I agree wholeheartedly with one of the commenters...
"If you call these protesters “whiners” and think it’s no big deal, you are missing the bigger picture. If you allow them to take an inch, they will eventually take a mile because they think being silent about it is a form of approval. Sure it may not unbalance the gameplay by much _NOW_, but eventually these companies will start to see that people are okay with purchasing everything in the game separately after the fact that they’ve paid for the game itself. Let them a free pass on this and I wouldn’t be surprise if the future of PC gaming involved purchasing a core game + each map + each gun, + upgrades + mods. Do you really want a gaming experience where the better player is the one w/ more cash???"
...and Notnice...your judgement is clouded by your intense Battlefield bias :laughing7: so I don't expect you of all people to have a problem with this.

I dont know about allyuh, but I preordering to get the Karkland expansion for free. NB, preorder price is the same as when the game is out and is flowing through retail channels.
That said, part of the fun of the game is unlocking all the weapons when they were meant to be unlocked. If a bonus of preordering is getting certain unlocks before hand, fine by me but i'm absolutely not paying extra for something that i'd get during the course of normal play anyway. That is ALMOST like buying a cheat. makes no bloody sense.
If people are willing to BUY into that, hard luck for them. Sorry to say that they are getting suckered out of a few dollars, extra pocket change for the fatcats at dice. I will have NONE of that tyvm.

BF3 not on steam? F**K that, i'll just wait for MW3 to come out on steam and play that instead.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen. If I even suspect that any other versions of Awesome in some other parallel universe even think about doing that, is inter universe slap ihmc.
Seriously though. EA wants to make as much money as humanly possible and steam is going to take a good chunk out of their pocket. Bad Company 2 was an unknown that became popular because of Steam. I've been made aware that loyalty counts for naught when it comes to business so EA doesnt care about that.
Battlefield 3 is already poised to take over mw3 in terms of popularity and sales (lets be real, even Sesame Street Once Upon a Monster (http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/24054/E3-2011-Kids-Games-Sesame-Street-Disneyland-Adventures/) will most likely a better game than mw3) and thus EA can do just what the hell they want. Just hope that they dont raise the price.
That's why it pays to not get too attached to any one service. Guys, Steam is just a means to an end. Origin and other digital download outlets, while lacking in features in comparison to steam, does the same damn thing. What, you and Valve digitally tied by the hip or something? If they lacking the biggest titles, maybe its time to look elsewhere. Steam is quickly becoming a repository for indie games with headline titles shifting from the likes of Battlefield to Terraria and Super Meat Boy. Exciting.
Only question now is should I preorder on Origin or go for boxed version...hmmm
Amazon has free release date delivery, meaning that it is being delivered to skybox on D - day!!
Boxed version, here I come.

Awesome has been brainwashed like Notnice yes...lol But seriously, this is a trend that may very well be happening in the industry in order to maximize profits, again, typical business. Game Houses and Producers like the giants EA and Activision are seeing that Steam was making money from their model and WHAM, time to cut the middle man out of the picture. Issue is, without Steam, the competition goes away, you are now forced to buy either the Physical Product or go to EA's site and buy from there, where they will most definitely be charging full price for as long as possible, unlike Steam and their bargain bin deals. Its all about the Benjamins people...

In some ways I'm thinking CoD was keeping EA honest.
Not feeling the love with this latest move at all. So why they can't have the game on Origin or whatever they calling their digital distribution platform AND also on steam??
dunno if this guy's comment is true but its worrying:
Quote
the current version of Origin is bad. why? because it crashes your games (battlefield bad company 2) and it doesn’t have an auto-update feature. the interface could use some improvement and they could allow u to use your own avatar.
oh and one more thing, u can’t buy stuff unless u live in US or Canada. epic fail EA!
Another raised the question, if you bought Crysis 2 on steam (which I did) what happens when updates are released? Would steam still automagically update your version?

well i am wondering if i should buy BF3 hard copy on Amazon, but how would i save my data like rank, guns ,kills etc?? i think we may need to go with the Origin but i am afraid as this is new and the implications of the many issues like server quality and the feared hacking of accounts just to name a few could be .......

I have a problem with game makers making than half hearted effort in their games (cheap console ports for pc) and still charge top dollar. You guys (wyatt, i'm looking at you) said that this was so because high levels of piracy on pc made them go the lazy man route. I strongly disagree with that reasoning but others say that is business.
Regardless if a developer gained their fame popularity on the pc, they will do what makes most business sense right? I say, lazying out on the damn thing is a SURE way to NOT make money on the pc.
That said, why am I championing bf3? Because the damn thing has been in production for upwards of 3 years and the hard work put into it is clearly evident from videos we have all seen. THIS is what development used to be like back in the old days until people started jumping on the 1 year RAD bandwagon. What is the result? Games like blops that are barely distinguishable from 3 and 4 year old games.
So why bash Activision and not EA (in this case)? Because ea has a winner on its hands. A genuine gem of a game. They recognize that and want to capitalise on that. Who wouldnt?
My issue is when publishers repping a crappy game and acting like is the best $hit around.

Post by: Spazosaurus on June 15, 2011, 09:54:28 AM
I am willing to bet that PC gamers will not crucify EA this time for bf3 because we talking about a QUALITY game. Regardless of if it comes from the brick and mortar store or Origin, gamers WILL go out looking for it because it is GOOD.
This is my point. Quality games sell themselves. Say what you want about EADM/Origin, i'm yet to see one really valid negative comment about the service. Of course, compared to steam it is no where near as convenient but it serves its purpose. I have experience buying games on EADM and I was always able to play purchased games. I really dont understand what all the fuss is all about.

lol, awesome you showing some blind faith here man.
I remember being properly well spurned by my initial battlefield bad company 2 experience. Bugs galore and borderline unplayable. From friend list shenanigans to not being able to shoot or stab a man at point blank range. Server and client side issues. Waiting for map packs became a running joke. Whenever they did come, turned out to be a different mode on the same maps.
Took a LONG time before they "got it right".
As much as I'm looking forward to BF3, I'm not going to turn a blind eye to EA's antics.
They haven't been exemplars in recent experience.
Here's hoping they heed the criticism from us gamers and do deliver on a brilliant Battlefield game on STEAM as well as Origin.
Don't force us to stomach Origin for no good reason other than greed.

Well I cant argue with the fact that bc2 had its issues at launch. I am confident that they have learnt a lot from it and we will see the fruits of this learning in bf3.
As for maps, dont even get me started eh. Even though some of the maps are remixes of original maps, the different game mode is enough to make it different enough. Not to mention that there were a few solid brand new maps included, ALL FREE.
Imagine with competing titles, you get the same exact maps that were in the previous game and you PAY $15us.
I'm not saying that EA is not evil, but when compared with blactivision, they are considerably less evil.

So what's gonna happen to the EA titles people purchased on steam that have been pulled from the service? Would they be able to re-download/auto update in the future? My only problem with Origin is the fact that the prices are in euros when ordering from T&T, that's just stupid. I own all my EA titles on disc so I'm gonna stick to retail until I have no choice.
I suggest those with EA titles on steam activate their code on Origin just to be on the safe side. :)

Something tells me we shud rename this to the 'complain about EA and Activision' thread. the article Messiaah posted claims EA has no involvement, so until otherwise notified by Valve, all we can do is wait for a more informative release from them. No use in complaining about it at this point in time.
Regardless of this, at the end of the day, these companies are in it to make the most money they can even if it means pissing a couple ppl off. They know they have a market regardless of what stunts they pull, which is the same for Activision. Can't please everyone now can u? And as Awesome stated previously, EA hopefully learnt from the mistakes they made when BC2 was launched, im pretty sure their sensible enough to fix Origin before launchin BF3 as well as have proper beta testing in the next few months.

So MS pulled all BF3 content off their site and now BF3 has more PS3 exclusive (if Sony paid for it let me know).

Remember before all EA Games were developed on 360 first. Once EA got a hang of developing for PS3, they made it the lead platform. From then on whether Sony paid them or not, they started offering exclusive content for PS3 for over a year now. The bonus coming with BF3 for PS3 is nothing special though. Any battlefield fan that has a PS3 would have purchased BF1943 for $10 when it came out. I did, so this bonus means nothing to me. It's a great enticement though for newcomers to the franchise.

I pass the disc stage for PC games long time. EA still on shit...but it looks like I'll have to swallow my pride and buy it from Origin. I guess my PC can run ONE more online gaming service... :shakehead: ...but it had BETTER not suck, or it will be all on EA, and they will reap the whirlwind.
It's really sad that it has to come to this...all because of a few people's greed.
'GG' EA... :icon_thumleft:
Notnice... +1 for the clarification for the Physical Warfare pack. How much you want to bet that these items are 'unlocked' when the game is extinct.
New question now: since I pre-ordered Medal Of Honor, on Steam, in 2010, I was promised, by DICE, entry into the BF3 mp beta, which was a large determining factor in my decision to purchase MoH in the first place. Since it seems that BF3 may not show up on Steam, how, exactly, is DICE/EA/Steam going to ensure that I get access to said beta?
I think that's a reasonable question.

point i was making is that the maps need to be scaled down if they do go with 24 players. BC2 was a borefest, too big for 24 players

That said, they probably saw the number of purchases for the game and thought, hey, if we open to MOH pre orderers alone, almost no one will be playing the damn thing, thus the reason for opening it up.

With the exception of myself of course. The BF3 beta was just a bonus. I bought it because i've played every single previous MoH game. Personally, i prefer MoH multiplayer over Crysis 2 but the Crysis 2 campaign over the MoH. Those two had the potential to be great games.

True, i didn't hear any official news from EA about the beta being open. I remember reading another post where someone said that the beta will be open to the public for the last week. All of that is probably speculation btw.
The only reason i posted is because Sorrow quoted that piece from a Q & A. I assume Mods would have credible sources....

EA moving more and more like Activision every day yes.
Heavy KY
Lexington style.
Only the gaming industry could continuously pull these types of shenanigans and get away with it yes, and still retain willing buyers.
Nothing surprises me with these big publishers again.
If you like something now, is just to show up with your money in one hand, and your KY in the other hand, and then just beg for an inch or two. :laughing6:

I get the impression that BC2 on either of the consoles fell on its face, as far as Trinis went.
The PC contingent vastly outnumbered the console gamers.
Do you think that's going to be the same case for Battlefield 3?
Are we going to see a 100 man strong PC roster with the consoles struggling to make up a decent 10 - 20 players?
probably not, ull get the initial ppl playing till mw3 released and then itll slowly drop off, but then again i stopped caring about the trini ps3 console scene months ago since it really doesnt affect my playin, my concerns come from the party system and cross squad comms being limited
@ Notnice devs say alot of things , doesnt mean it ends up that way so excuse me if i dont hang on every word a dev says as "fact"
there is no doubt the PC BF3 will be amazing but after 3 games with the same problems i think its safe for me to have my doubts about DICE correcting them.
1. Map sizes 2. Cross squad comms 3. Party system bigger than 4 ppl
address those things and BF3 will be a winner on consoles

How much you want to bet that you WILL have to run Origin to run the game...even if you have a disc copy.
GG EA... as usual. :(

According to Gamestop, while Battlefield 3 won’t be available on Steam it will be available to download from Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network Store.
Financial research firm Baird revealed that the EA first person shooter “will be sold as a download through GameStop, but not through Steam.” One of Gamestop’s executives went onto mention that Battlefield 3 would however be available digitally on other platforms.

I FINALLY got to play it this morning. :happy0203:
After all I've seen on the web...I'm still amazed at how this game runs in ALPHA, let alone beta. My god....
DICE has truly crafted a work of art here. Of that you can be undeniably sure.
...and I made sure to take some screenies, but the NDA does not allow any posting of these on the web. Lets just say the game looks FANTASTIC in 1080p and runs sweetly on my rig at a solid 86 fps. More powerful rigs will have this game for LUNCH!!!
Thanks guys for giving me a chance to experience it.
My curiousity has been sated for now. Can't wait for the beta though.
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: TriniXaeno on July 23, 2011, 06:12:24 AM
86 fps. I could live with that.
On a scale of 1 - 10, where would you place the game right now?
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: Berzerk on July 23, 2011, 07:27:42 AM
Have to agree with arcman. Game runs and feels better in alpha than some full released games.
The sound BOOMS in your ears, environments are destructible, the animations have a parkour flavor (jumping over ANYTHING never gets old!) PRONE PRONE PRONE. Hell even the animation to jump into prone looks gr8. And most importantly, guns feel great. I shoot stuff they die (unlike bbc2) but that works both ways (u die really easily)
Even with very limited graphical options (a la beta) game looks gorgeous. Only issues are the squad management, (no option to create squad) and jumping in on a friend have some hurdles to get over. And of course limited graphical options.
But this is an ALPHA not even a BETA, so Im not worried.
and did I mention the netcode? I don't lag. got into a server with 95 ping, ran beautifully.

excellent review, u stated everything i wanted to hear... i did notice that for everything you do in the game like eg kill enemy, revive a player on your team they are all 100 points.. i am a newbee to FPS gaming so i am guessing its all part of the alpha and its not the end product
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: Arcmanov on July 23, 2011, 01:37:22 PM
Taken as is...a solid 8 out of 10.
The finished game I'm sure will be closer to perfection.
One thing I noticed about the snipers, is that they can no longer just hide forever in one spot. In that level, the sun actually reflected off the scope, and I could actually see the sniper drawing a bead on me. Once he'd been spotted, it was all over.
...and the suppression-fire mechanic needs to be experienced to be believed. As I was hunkered down behind a tree, two enemy players started firing at me, hitting the tree, but very effectively keeping me from poking my head out for a counter-shot. Your screen starts to blur as a result of the suppression, and you're forced to either retreat, or hurriedly sprint to another cover spot. AWESOME!!! :awesome:
As for the prone...I thought the dolphin-diving would return, but here it's implemented BEAUTIFULLY. Yes, you can shoot while prone, and yes it's more accurate than moving/standing/crouching-fire, but you CANNOT dive-fire a la COD. You MUST complete the prone action 1st, so suddenly diving in front of an enemy WILL get you killed. Bullerman-COD-divers please take note. :) That tactic will NOT get you those easy kills in this game. Thank you DICE for LISTENING TO YOUR COMMUNITY on this one.
As berserk mentioned whenever you jump over short obstacles, you actually vault over them, and you see your legs doing it, just like Mirror's Edge. Coincidence? No. DICE made that game as well. :) A nice nod to parkour there.
I forgot to mention the SOUND. OMG THE SOUND!!! I am putting it to you now that you NEED a 5.1/7.1 setup to really appreciate just how kick-ass the sound really is. Even in this alpha, the soundscape here is head and shoulders above Bad Company 2, which is no trivial affair, as that game's 'War Tapes' setting could actually affect overall performance if your CPU wasn't powerful enough. I wasn't expecting anything less here. No half-assing the positional 3D here. You hear an explosion from your rear-left, you turn around, it's right where you expect it to be. It may seem like a 'little' thing, but anything that can suck you into the game's environment like that is to be lauded. Repeatedly. :laughing7:
Oh wait...did I mention that bullets ricochet off some surfaces? I'm pretty sure I was hurt/killed by that.
Frostbite 2.0 is de healin.
I await Captain Awesome's comments.

Post by: Agokillya on July 26, 2011, 04:09:31 PM
Well he did say "compact them slightly to keep the action up..." so you may be right. The intention maybe is to not have too big of a map for the 24player(max) cap on the consoles.
Must admit though, the BIG maps on BF:BC2 were a pain in the toosh to get from one end to the other, so probably it's for the better.

YES. maps need to be smaller for that player count. cant be spending more time running than shooting
"More or less. When we say they are smaller, it's not that we have cut them in half. But we tried to compact them slightly to keep the action up. If you compare it to Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the maps weren't really small on console. We actually had huge maps even for console. We have the same kind of angle on it right now [in Battlefield 3].
those 2 lines worry me "try" and sayin they have the same kind of angle for bf3 maps for consoles NEED to be made with 24 in mind the maps for BC2 felt like it was more suited for 40 players

i played this game a little this morning and soo far all i can say is... epic!!!! i have to play it some more to give my final thoughts on it, the only feature i don't like so far is the holding down of the right click button on the mouse to aim down once's sight, also the default keyboard layout sucks, but the game is well laid out and the sound is most superior, it is not over loud like BC2 where every sound effect drowns your ear.. when i get some more time with it i will give a full review but for an alpha game its already on my top five list.

80-90 fps outdoors, and 120+ 'indoors' (aka underground).
Surprised there's actually CrossfireX support. Can you imagine this ALPHA has better multi-GPU support than certain finished games at LAUNCH!!? (yes Crytek, I'm looking SQUARELY at you :()

Well according to some sources, this "ALPHA" is actually more a Beta, since its past crunch time and release is in October...thats why it feels more like a Beta. LOL.

Example: If someone signs in, we all chime in, What's up buddy!!!?!?
I aint see where he disagree with you or get defensive there on the point you made but it's all good.

Too little too late shall be the cry. Its most likely not Steam's fault but who here is really gonna wait to get the steam version...matter of fact nobody who is a true fan will wait for the steam version.
Whenever it does come to Steam, they will get sales from those who were on the fence about the game in general or wary about EA's Origin which means more noobs for us to shoot.

$60 for moh last year a sub par game and 2 measley days headstart in the beta.
You know what? I DONT want that early beta access. Instead, give me HALF off the preorder price of BF3 and i'll forgive that grave insult!!!

nice update berserk
This issue explained in a nutshell:
Steam doesnt allow games to have an in game store that doesnt go through steam itself. bf3 crysis and dragon age all have stores that just get the dlc from ea, and steam doesn't see any of that money.
Doesn't get any clearer than that.
Maybe this also explains why League of Legends and HoN aren't available on steam. Since both of these have in game stores as well.

I dont know if anyone has had the misfortune of having to contact steam support. First off, there is no live chat or phone support. Everything is done through email. Email responses from them take no less than 1-2 weeks, MUCH too long a turnaround time for such a big enterprise.
I recently had an issue with an EA game, used the live chat and instantly got the help that I needed.
Steam is stable and offers nice features but one has to remember that things were not always so rosy. I believe that with enough time, Origin (which is still in beta) will catch up in terms of functionality and stability.
As for non-ea titles, i'm seriously reconsidering finding an alternative for my game buying needs. I just find it completely unacceptable that I cannot pick up a phone and contact them immediately about an issue. That is just not going to fly.

Dragon Age 2 went straight to origin as well. most likely Mass effect 2 would eventually. I think the store closed already though, so it might not be affected.
And well Mass effect 3 Def not coming to steam.
Agree with Awesome too. Got Crysis 2 on origin. no issues. patches beautifully. it not as user friendly as steam, but that bound to change.
Im sure it would be perfectly optimized by the time Battlefield 3 comes out.

EA just needed a 'convenient' excuse. Full stop.
They need to push Origin...hard, and Battlefield 3 will give them that. I can't knock their hustle. They're only trying to compete with one of the biggest and most successful DDSes (Digital Distribution Services) out there.
BF3 will ensure they get a foot in the door, so-to-speak.
My only problem is how they're going about it. Just come right out and tell us. You want to push Origin, so no Steam. How hard is that? Those of us who really want it will still end up buying it.

You most likely will be able to add the game to your Origin account if you wish. Thats the case with all EA titles from 2009 to present, no matter where or which version you buy.

i chose to buy it on disk because Origin is a new product and to me that spells Beta product. i will listen around and hear the previews of ppl who are using the product and cussin for the many reasons evaluate if it is worthy. Not saying that its a bad product or anything but its a first release from EA so i just want to be cautious.

The only problem i have with Origin at the moment is the screwed up regional system for the store section, all prices are in euros. They said that they are working on it and i hope it gets fixed soon, as it affects a lot of countries all over the world. Besides that, I've placed orders, downloaded, patched games without issue. I use it everyday just as i use Steam.
There are little things that i would like to be changed, like the ability to use your own avatar and the layout of the store could be better. Other than that, no issues on my end so far. The only way you are going to know if it's a worthy product is if you try it yourself.
Origin may not be required to launch the retail version of BF 3 but I'm sure it will be required for auto-patching and DLC downloads. It is also confirmed that it will be required by future EA titles, so if you're thinking about picking up almost any EA title next year, you're gonna have to get used to it whether you like it or not.

Very interesting results.
Wow...look at the CPU benches (pause at 3:25). Some SERIOUS CPU-limitation with what I thought were pretty gaming-capable Athlon IIs.
I guess it goes without saying that you pretty much need to upgrade to a Phenom II, or a Core i7 (if you haven't, god alone knows why :laughing7:) to really maximise your experience with this game.
Of course, this is months-old alpha code. I'm guessing there will be WAY more optimisations by release. Or else it's upgrade-time for a lot of folks out there. Is not everybody that can afford them higher-end CPUs.

Here's a little tid bit into whats going on with EA and Steam (if this is a re-post my apologies)
Quote
Battlefield 3 is not coming to Steam, but EA has a real reason is not coming to Steam, but EA has a real reason By Ben Kuchera
Gamers have been worried for some time about their ability to buy Battlefield 3 from Steam, and EA has now provided an official statement on the matter: until Valve changes its policies, the game won't be available on the most popular digital distribution service in the United States. According to EA, this isn't their call; it's due to the fact that Valve has placed restrictions on how content can be shared on the games sold via Steam.
While this may not be what you want to hear, EA has a point. The reasoning
One key point in all this is that EA hasn't made Battlefield 3 exclusive to its own Origin service, although the company is certainly making it worth your while to buy the game from its official home. But the game will be widely available.
"EA offers games, including Battlefield 3, to all major digital download sites. In doing so, our goal is to not only reach the widest possible global audience with our games, but also to provide ongoing customer support, patches, and great new content," a post to the company's official forum stated. "We are intent on providing Battlefield 3 players with the best possible experience no matter where they purchase or play the game, and are happy to partner with any download service that does not restrict our ability to connect directly with consumers."
EA has claimed that Steam has added a "set of restrictive terms of service" that limits how the company can provide patches and other content. "No other download service has adopted these practices," EA explained. Reading between the lines, it sounds like EA wants to offer patches as well as for-pay content directly to gamers through the games itself. Valve seems to have rules in place that state such content must be sent through the Steam servers.
We contacted Valve for comment on the limitations EA has complained about but have yet to receive a response.
EA has also released a statement detailing the company's own policies for digital distribution services that sell EA games. Each deal is slightly different, and EA pointed out that over 100 services will be selling Battlefield 3, but the company has a line it won't cross.
"When a download service forbids publishers from contacting players with patches, new levels, items and other services—it disrupts our ability to provide the ongoing support players expect from us," EA said. "At present, this is the case with only one download service. While EA offers its entire portfolio to this site, they have elected to not post many of our games."
EA says it hopes to find a way to reach an agreement with Steam on this point, but it's doubtful Valve will make an exception.
Interesting... this is either a case of EA trying to paint Steam the real gustavo OR they really are... what's your take on this GATTers

I'm not surprised. Steam is a rather customer UNfriendly service when it comes to support. There is no way to contact them other than by email in which case you're guaranteed AT LEAST a week long wait for a response.
I do not doubt that Valve has some policy in place that does not sit well with EA. EA is a big company and certainly will not suffer much from bf3 not being on steam and vice versa. Really, its the Steam fanboys who will loose out. The rest of us will go out and buy the game, even if it is on disc.
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: W1nTry on August 08, 2011, 02:11:35 PM
I think this is a game I want to buy ORIGINAL DISC regardless XD though the direct download is an attractive method... something about owning the real disc just sits better... though I ask the question, will the disc be tied to me via a serial and origin? or will I be able to carry over the disc by a friend, install on their PC and just log in using my EA credentials?
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: Spazosaurus on August 08, 2011, 02:16:07 PM
I'm pretty sure you will be able to tie the disc's cd key to Origin and from there it will behave just like a digital download.
But yeah, disc version for me! I dont mind waiting a couple extra days and paying some shipping to have and to hold that box!!!

You will be able to activate the retail key on Origin, this would give you the option of installing a digital version in the same way Steam does it. The disc version of BC2 gave you the option of installing and activating on up to 10 machines simultaneously (digital & disc), without ever needing the disc to play, only your EA credentials. Judging from the Alpha, it looks like they might have reduced that number to 5 simultaneous installs (or maybe that was just the case just for the alpha).

1) To be able to play when I want with minimal down time and sad stories
2) Have my stats update fairly quickly (dont mind a 2hr wait for stats to update)
great points.. i agree!!!

Hope it's no true
it might not be soo bad.. if they let u customize ur player's look then it would be awesome.. one would have there own personality out there.. but on the downside if i get used to some players look i could know who u are and spot u easily. (=PT=)

Total non-issue for me. In all BF games I have only used one account/player-name anyway.
Can't understand why this is such a big deal. I never once thought of using another account to 'start over', as some players think it's 'cool' to do.
Whatever...biatches gonna biatch.

From what i understand, everything mentioned so far goes across the board, with the exception of 64 players and improved details for the PC. I'm curious as to why they haven't shown any Xbox 360 footage yet though. From what I've heard, the PS3 version looks and runs much more impressive on the build they had at PAX compared to the previous GamesCom build. What were the problems with the past games? (I'm on PC)

Blu_Vice's issues were always about the limited communication between squads, plus PSN does not have Party Chat, so you are limited to communication with your 3 other squad mates instead of the rest of your party which maybe 8 or 12...Dice hasn't addressed that I don't think and that was one of the main issues that Vice had. I also don't think they have an Xbox version working yet, which is disturbing, given that there is only 1 month left..I will be on PC and XBox 360 so its not bothering me so much, its just that I game with people on XBox Live and if this version sucks, then it would be very disappointing. I also hope the lack of local dedicated servers doesn't affect the local PC side too much...

only way its goin to be subpar is if dice mess up on the comms, party system and clan support......AGAIN like their previous 3 games.
while i would like more players it wont affect the experience much once the maps are scaled to suit, while that may seem like blasphemy to some of u i like action and once the map sizes provide plenty with the 24 im good to go. 32 would have been my ideal count but w/e other games coming in the future that have higher counts so no worries.
thankfully it seems 1 of the 3 concerns i have is addressed http://mp1st.com/2011/09/05/bf3-new-voice-chat-system-and-no-more-mounted-hmgs/ (http://mp1st.com/2011/09/05/bf3-new-voice-chat-system-and-no-more-mounted-hmgs/)

The problem is the MASSIVELY BLATANT lack of shadows! the frames and physics are all well and good but without the dynamic lighting... well you get THIS! This BETTER BE a 1 year OLD pre-alpha leak because if this is what the consoles have to look forward to then... they might as well just release it on PC only and salt in the sales department.
For those that want to jump on the PS3 bandwagon, keep in mind that from a power perspective the PS3 is MARGINALLY faster than the 360 and only in the CPU department. The GPU in the 360 is better than the PS3 (for those that remember it's X1900 based vs 7900 based).
As for the PC elitist that gonna hate (naturally) just keep in mind that without the console sales yal ain't gonna see a sequel, so to put it BLUNTLY you NEED the console don't EVEN fool yourself. But if this is what we can expect, then EA better bend over and prepare the KY cause the console gamers ain't gonna sit down for that ish.

LOL @ Notnice depictions, but seriously though, from a business standpoint, EA is doing rubbish if they are catering to just the PC "Elite". When sales of Battlefield 3 pale in comparison to games like MW3, who suffers in the end? ALL Gamers. Why? Because the cost of making the game vs. the profits from the game will be severely skewed and DICE will have to lay-off some people just to make the next BF game...Beautiful graphics is not everything, the gaming experience on a whole is...but when devs and publishers start to focus on the minority of their market share, that's just dumb business.
How many Pre-orders does EA have for BF3? compared to MW3? How many people have been fired at EA compared to Activision, basic economics will tell you that the Hype of BF3, is just that, "Hype". In the long run, whoever makes the most money, has the resources to devote to making MORE games.
How is Activision able to bring out a Call of Duty every year? Simple...its catering to all platforms, Consoles being the largest sales generator. But yea, as EA continues to burn the console bridges and focus on the few PC "Elite" then we'll see what happens with the BF franchise...
IMO :P

as for the actual game itself i still have not seen anything overly impressive other than pretty colours, nothing there wows me yet its more like......meh been there done that same as cod.
PS: would be interesting to see the PC sales of this game when its released and see if PC ppl still like the pic above lol.

It makes perfect sense man. Finally a proper PC title, after years of crap console port after console port. If PC FPS gamers aren't excited for this then i don't know what to make of them.
It's a good thing that more people don't think like some on these forums, otherwise we would all still be playing NES.

sorry im not a bf fanboy and not sold on this game as of yet
sorry that i constantly question DICE's ability to actually produce a proper console game after 3 consecutive fail attempts
sorry that i run a clan and being forced to play against unorganised grps of randoms and proceeding to take advantage of them while not even tryin isnt my idea of fun.
now that i have apologised for not being sold, questioning the gods at dice and for being good at shooters can someone honestly tell me what draws them to the game OTHER than graphics and destructible environments......being dead serious here.....cuz both lose the "wow" factor after about 5 games......at least for me. I await a proper reply so someone can help me see things from their eyes...

To each his own. It's as simple as that.
Battlefield probly just isnt your game? Ever thought of that?
I love the game play of BC2 just because it's different from arcade FPS. Yes it has it's bugs and whatnot. Yes you can basically only communicate with 3 other people (console), but it's still fun once you make it fun for yourself. I enjoy it for what it IS not what i want/hope/think it be. Just as people enjoyed CODs 1-99, people will enjoy BF 1-99. They play it for what it is. It is that simple.

Style of gameplay and more methods of accomplishing your task than you can count. As virtue said, Battlefield is less of a arcade shooter and more 'serious'. Its not for everyone. If you can't see the appeal, why not just move along.

The very essence of a Battlefield game is what draws me to it. Conquest game mode, huge wide open maps with the freedom to play as you wish, player controlled land and air vehicles, the emphasis on teamwork and just the feeling of being a little part of a much bigger battle. If you're not sold on just that then Battlefield isn't your kind of game. All the fancy graphics, destruction, excellent sound, bullet physics and all the other little goodies are simply icing on the cake. That is probably why i can crank up the Homefront demo and still have a tonne of fun. Both games had a few things in common that i liked. The gameplay was there but the controls were probably the worst I've come across in years...
I hope you have no hard feelings about my above post. Its just that i find it hard to understand, after all those interviews with DICE about Battlelog and it's features, creating and managing your platoon (clan), people still come here ranting about things that were already confirmed. :angry7:

Plus side for PC Gamers:
DICE: Battlefield 3 Could Get Mod Tools Post Launch By Mike Sharkey | Sep 19, 2011 Studio says it has heard the Battlefield modding community, will do its best to respond.
DICE: Battlefield Players Get 'Upset' if DLC is Free By Nick Winter | Sep 18, 2011 Gamers demand more paid content.
Now here's an interesting point-of-view. According to the executive producer of Battlefield 3, Patrick Bach, some Battlefield gamers don't like getting DLC for free. Instead, they prefer to pay for it. Huh?
Speaking to OXM, Bach said the feedback of some disgruntled Battlefield gamers had created quite a conundrum for DICE when it comes to free DLC:
"We actually got a lot of flack for giving away free maps. I know it sounds weird, but people got really upset with us. People said: 'if you're giving it away, why couldn't you give it away earlier?' There were a lot of complaints."
Bach said DICE got far more positive feedback after it released the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam expansion pack, which cost money to play.
"The only thing we've done that was more or less 100% positive was Vietnam: it was a bigger pack and we charged for it, but everyone saw the value, and everyone enjoyed the game.
It's easier for the consumer of today to comprehend that if you pay for something and you get something big and meaty - it's worth it. When we were giving away small things for free, we actually had people being more upset than happy about it. 'Only three maps? That's not enough.' When we brought it up and said: 'yeah, but it's free?' people said: 'But I would have paid ten dollars for five maps.' 'Well... OK. Let's not talk about this...'"
However, poor and destitute Battlefield players need not worry. DICE still plans to release free DLC for Battlefield 3.

Pshhh... AMD cards didn't NEED a driver update. Crossfire support was there since alpha, but the enthusiast part of me will want to run that preview driver regardless. :)

Just got my invitation (early cough) played it on the 360 for a bit and personally all i can say it BADDDDD, the graphics look good, game physics are good the movement is awesome and the gun sounds are wicked, i jus turned my speakers all the way up and fired away so it cud soak in. It took a lil getting used to the char movement but they went to work on this one.

Hopefully we get to play Caspian Border sometime during this beta.
All settings on 'High' at 1920 x 1080, with 2x 'deferred' AA, and 16x AF.
Getting a solid 70fps with VSync off.
Tried playing it on 'Ultra', but the frame-rate was all over the place, ranging from the high 90s to the low 20s, so I can't really give an accurate assessment of how murderous on rigs it is. It definitely aint no Crysis though...which may or may not be a bad thing.
The visuals have definitely been given a boost. Light-sourcing and shadows are excellent. Side-mounted flash-lights and lasers actually blind and disorient you.
I won't say anything about the sound, because it really needs to be heard to be believed. You'll want to upgrade your CPU, or sound-card, or speakers/headsets for this one. 5.1/7.1 surround sound is a MUST for this game.
There are still lots of bugs, and seemingly some hacks, but nothing show-stopping.
They changed the layout a bit. One or two of the MCOMs have been moved, but overall, it's still as solid as the Alpha.
I need more hands to give this game more than the requisite two thumbs-up.

Yeah boy so far the thing looking and playing like an absolute dream on all high settings, even so for those who have non extravagant setups like AMD quad cores and gtx 560's with the game running WELL above playable framerates.
Means that for all its graphical prowess a $10,000 machine is not requisite.
Like Arc said, visuals and sound are very well done, gameplay is sweettt!!
4 thumbs up!!!

yeah i too am very pleased with the game play and my rig handling it very well on ultra with frames ranging from 39-50.. i'm happy with the results.. just need to adapt to the shooting which is very different from BC2... but at the end of the day this game is really above and beyond the call :cowboy:

While a few of us may be enjoying this beta... I am seeing a very troubling situation developing on EA's forums regarding lots of folks who pre-ordered the game on Origin, expecting early beta access, but are yet to receive a code. :(
Come ON EA...in 2011? :/
I simply cannot believe that they could bungle something like this. Wouldn't they have known how many pre-orders there were? ...and from whom?
Imagine, EA customer support is telling people to 'contact us in four hours'...AFTER waiting up to THREE hours in some instances to connect to an agent.
Madness. I vex and is not even me, because it's undermining the hype and excitement many have had in anticipation for this.
Goddamn it EA. You're taking every opportunity to stick it to Activision, and can't get your own house in order?
I know its only 'two days', but it could be mighty important for a great many people.
I think we all want BF3 to succeed, but like EA trying very hard for it not to.
I'm not impressed by that. At all.

I'm not surprised, EA's usual crappy excuses. They too busy scrambling to get the game out, thats what that is. I'm afraid of what the final product will be.
Virtue raised an interesting thought though....if Anonymous were to get pissed off and decide to hack the crap out of Origin, I wonder what Awesome and Notnice will do with BF3 out of comission...LOL

That's a no brainer. The most obvious thing would be to fly up Sweeden on the next available flight, primary whip and spare whip in tow and get to work.
Yes, I have to agree with Arc on this. It is highly slack of them to not be able to perform the simple task of sending out early invites to those customers they made a promise to. I doh care if is two HOURS early access. They used the early access as a selling point for MOH and BF3 and did not deliver to many.
I hope someone sues them for that gross lack of respect for their customers, make them know that is totally NOT ok and never make that mistake again.

Yep. I personally know of 5 people all in the industry who have had this issue. They have all been console related:( someone actually had his Origin account for XBOX duped onto another persons gamertag, he got the key and not my buddy. After 2 hrs on the phone with support, he still didnt get his key.
This has NOTHING to do with Dice, this is straight up Origin....which is 15 mins down the road here by Visceral and Crystal Dynamics. Anyone want to trow stale doubles at them, now is the time to send it up:)

The day that FPS fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. The closed Beta for premier FPS Battlefield 3 has finally opened. The internet has been awash with rumors that the game’s consoles ports will feature inferior graphics in comparison with Battlefield 3′s PC version. Unfortunately it seems from the first few screenshots to hit the internet that the rumors have proved to be true. Certainly from shots coming from XBox 360 Beta testers, Battlefield 3 appears to be suffering from low resolution textures.

That's the spirit Jarrox.
Its important to note, though that the same people who find Black Ops graphics on the console "good enough" will often try to bemoan bf3 graphics on said system. I openly call anyone who falls into the above category, MASSIVELY hypocritical.
Even the console versions of bf3, I am CERTAIN, looks way better than any 'Call' both released and unreleased.
That said, there's no need for me be cpt obvious and state the obvious. Low res textures are EXPECTED on the current gen console. Live with it or buy a pc.
Case closed.

That was a rumor? So people were actually expecting PC level graphics on console....why? I actually think the console version looks great and i've read good thing about the PS3 version.
It should be common knowledge by know that a console does not have the graphical prowess of a good PC, but I don't think a blurry sandbag should make u run for a PC for just one game.

I am thoroughly disgusted with EA and Dice for this stupid Beta on the Xbox 360. Why oh why would they be dumb enough to release this game next month on the Xbox when the Beta looks and plays like a piece of horse sh1t? WHY?
It is so evident that no work went into the Xbox 360 version at all if the final result next month is anything close to this Beta. This is a joke in my opinion. What really pissed me off, is the fact that I fell through....yes i said FELL THROUGH the map on several occasions.with no way to get back above the map without committing suicide...at least they have that option to prevent me from having to back out from the game completely...applause for Dice for giving me a suicide option. However, after playing that Beta this morning for the short time that I did, I feel like committing suicide in real life, or as Awesome said, jump on the next available flight to Sweden and go help some Dice and EA employees commit suicide for this crap they call BF3: Xbox 360 edition. What a waste of my time downloading and playing this Beta...I am so tempted to cancel my 360 version pre-order yes....*SIGH*

I was speaking to Arcman yesterday regarding what Alpha, Beta and Gold means. This IS the final game on all platforms you are playing. Console versions are locked and being printed....and expect a HUuUUuGe day 0 patch for them. Its not going to look better, mechanics will not change, but some of those world drop throughs will not be there.
For PC its all code stabalization from now till release. Fix those attrocious LOD pops im seeing accross all 3 platforms and optimize transition/loadout times.

Forgive me if this sounds like gloating, but it seems, for ONCE, the PC version of a triple-A big title is superior to its console brethren. Now console owners get to feel what PC gamers have been getting for a while now.
DICE did say that the PC platform was the the lead one for development, so it makes sense that somewhere along the line that version would turn out to be the best one.
...and Redlum, that whole falling through the map thing is not limited to the Xbox version. Happened to me numerous times on Metro...and I actually killed people from under the ground too. In fact, there were quite a few players glitching and using that like an exploit. That will be fixed I'm sure.
...but yeah, I've felt your pain for years now. :(

I hear ya Arc, but now that you tell me that falling through the map thing is not limited to the Xbox version, thats even more Epic Fail on EA/Dice. Was that in the "Alpha"? if so, they had time to fix it, and evidently haven't? So which means there must have been even WORSE things to take care of instead of fixing a glitch like that for the "Beta"... :shakehead:
I am sorry, but that was just a sour experience, and for a game thats less than a month away, it does not sit well in my stomach...A huge patch as Shiv said I am sure will be coming, hopefully on day 0...if not, then its Gears of War 3 till MW3 yes.... *SIGH* Why EA? WHYYYYY???!!!

The fact that its less than a month away from release and its still an issue...This is a Beta, which means its a finished product and patches will be needed to fix things on day 1 release. It shows that EA has rushed Dice to release the game. That is no good in my book. I want a quality game experience, and playing that Beta this morning soured me. I really do hope the patch that hopefully comes release day fixes that glitch, otherwise I expect to be getting killed from below the map as Arcman pointed out is what people are doing in Beta...thats just unacceptable for such a hyped up game as BF3. Yes, PC gamers are happy with the nice graphics, but if they can just fall into a map and say, oh it will be fixed in a patch by launch which is less than 1 month away and call that George, then that's accepting mediocrity and brushing off something that shows there is lack of QC, perhaps due to rushing the game....I wouldn't mind waiting another 2-3 months if it means that the game will be better for it without the annoying glitch of falling through a floor while casually strolling in the game looking for people to kill...I don't want to pay for this game to have to wait for a patch while it has glitches, who wants that?
To add fuel to the fire, I forgot to mention that the spot feature was not working consistently if at all...
And Jarrox just mentioned getting shot from men hiding in walls....yea, ok...

hopefully full release has party system cuz once again the game is indeed good just like bc2 BUT deliberately limiting teamplay is utterly retarded beyond belief (also cant talk to other squads on the beta, get good DICE this is ur FOURTH attempt smfh)

After playing for a few hrs I have to say bf3 has potential. But what they have now is total bs. To many issues, I saw men in walls, killcam underground, dead bodies floating, sliding, and twitching.
They said it is fixed in the final game already.
A post on twitter (i think) said most of the bugs in the beta were already fixed for the final game.
The beta is really to show of the game to the public in my mind

Tried it, and had a blast :D Used older drivers so it only used one of my 580s, but i was able to play comfortably on Ultra settings (with a few glitches due to unsupported driver).

Love the game. Kinda angry that they added prone though. Encourages camping like in COD. Runs great @ 1920x1200 on Ultra. No graphical slowdown. The only problem is that it seems 4GB Ram isn't enough to prevent the game from periodically freezing. Got connection timeout errors a couple times due to this. So I have no choice but to run on 'High'. Oh well...

Sorry to hear that you guys are having issues, but isn't that kinda the point? To see what the problems are so that they can be fixed?
Getting infuriated by the performance (or lack thereof) of a beta is counter-productive at best.
Didn't Bad Company 2's beta have some of these same issues?
I'll save my angst for the finished version. It's in short supply these days... :laughing7:

Any of you all tried Caspian Border yet?
Mind blowing graphics on that map oye.
Whatever framerate you're getting on operation Metro is gonna be 30%+ lower in Caspian. I get roughly 45-50fps on Metro on Ultra, but on Caspian Border...25-35fps lol (I am running some old drivers though)
Preddy preddy map.
The password for the US Caspian servers currently is "shoppingcartsareagoodride". They change it all the time though. Just keep trying to get a slot, took me a good hour or so during random intervals all day :P

its a beta man, even a noob like me is gettin some trouble shooting things in this game and its frustrating, u just have to keep on trying. My advise is to team up with the BF Gurus (notnice and shivs) and they can help mitigate your issues. its a beta it will have bugs!!!

The only exception I think I'll make is Dota 2, since moba type games tend to be in beta forever, if you wait for final code, you'll probably never play the game ever.

PS Everyone make sure your cpu/gpu is very fast if you want to play 64man servers.I normally get around 20 to 40 fps with the full 64 players because my cpu is holding back my gtx570.

I agree that its a very poor showing, at least to the Console gamers, who sadly to say, are the majority when it comes to sales. So double poor form by EA to have a broken Beta running on Consoles. PC gamers are all happy and pappy, but the ones who are in the majority that buy the game have to put up with the sub par excuse for a Beta. If thats what the public has to deal with, then thats not a good way to market the game at all at all. If the final console game does not have fixes in it from day one....I will return the game from whence it came.

32bit OS recognizes just about 3gb (plz correct me if I'm wrong) 64bit OS (Ultimate in your case) having 4gb is a must to have smooth operations...

Downloaded the PS3 beta to compare with PC. LOL @ falling through the map as soon as I spawn in the first game.
Other than that though, the game ran surpisingly smooth. Graphics pretty good for the console but not nearly as good as console exclusives. (Then again, the scale of the map could be the reason.) It's a good PS3 title to get, but having experienced the PC version, I'll be skipping the PS3 version unless my friends on PSN get it.

@ App lol if u get it on ps3 good luck choosing 3 ppl worthy enough to play with u :P as for me i just want confirmation if we would be able to grp and talk to other squads in retail so id know if to cancel that pre order
the thing that these PC guys dont get is if BF fails hard on console u might have an awfully long wait for a new BF game. Also if BF3 doesnt even come close to MW3 in sales and reviews then what? would look awfully dumb on EA/DICE's part for all the chest beatin and still not come close lol

@Blu- To be honest though, PC version of BFBC2 didn't even have voice chat (afaik). The "features" which you continue to clamor for is not given to one system and not given to the other. I do agree that some consideration should be given to those features, or at least some word about why it wasn't implemented if it means a lot to the community.

well doom, they won't need voice chat on the PC platform because of mumble, teamspeak, etc...
They will need it on the console...BIG TIME.
No the pc needs voip because not everyone uses 3rd party programs,The voip was best in bf2 when you were is a random squad.
In game voip + random squad with mic + teamwork= winning.
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: TriniXaeno on October 01, 2011, 12:41:24 PM
Let me explain.
The PC doesn't "need" in game voip because we have entrenched alternatives (which quite likely would be better than the in game offering anyway)
It would be a "nice to have". a bonus. They could integrate mumble since its opensource and that would be sweet.
The console gamers aren't so lucky.
Particularly the PS3. They NEED in game voip like a fish needs water.
There is no easy alternative.
As mentioned before on these forums, for Thursday Night Palance on the PS3, it was suggested gamers get a laptop/netbook and put it next to their PS3 to be in the same channel to chat. lol
That's fail right there. Shouldn't have to go through those hoops to talk to squad members.

Official servers run the following configuration
Max Players: 32 Map: Operation Metro Mode: RUSH
Please avoid temptation and remain on these official servers while we work to have these servers dealt with. Playing on those servers can cause your account to become compromised, stats to be altered or other issues to arise which may lead to having your account banned by EA."

umm...............NO my Astros i paid for is to hear glorious ingame surround sound not to have my game on mute and my astros plugged into laptop for voice chat
PS:not everyone willing and able to fork out money to buy a gaming PC JUST to play ONE game, why is this so hard for some ppl to understand.....
@ wyatt PS3 chat and Xbox works the same XBOX has a party chat but if u cant get more than 4 in the game it still makes no sense as ull be talkin to 4 in game and 4 ppl who not even in the match and still teaming with 8 randoms who wont hear u anyway since ur on party chat. The party system and comms go hand in hand.
no defending a crappy party system 4 person squads work fine but let us get together 12 ppl and join as a grp and we organise the squads ourselves ingame or outside

My guess would be, like in BC2, squad death match was just that, amongst the 4 man squads. TDM will probly just be exactly that, TDM. One team against another just taking out tickets or reaching a score limit.

Men done talkin about not even opening their console version or goin an pick up rage instead smh.

All I can say about this so called BF3 is... dammit I cant wait, for both the XBOX version and the PC version, played a couple of hours on the 360 with a friend of mine Sunday morning then went into a PC sweat with the platoon some time after. Truly the more you play the game you notice the time and care that went into this release, from the sound design (who knew c4 is really loud... had no idea until I unlocked some)to the gun handling even the tactical lights blinding and disorienting you turning your Light Machine gun into a water gun as a guy with a handgun guns you down. The suppression mechanic added really brings you into the game as you should be afraid of bullets and want to duck and run far far away from them. As a gamer I truly feel for anyone that was in the beta and did not pick up on the goodness that the guys at Dice have brought to the table.
I made this post because a lot of misinformation has been spreading around, causing people to think of bypassing this truly innovative title, my friend that played the beta with me on the 360 was about to pass this game by, because of information he got from an outside source, I basically told him to download the beta and try it, lo and behold hours have passed and we are still playing the game happily.

@ wyatt PS3 chat and Xbox works the same XBOX has a party chat but if u cant get more than 4 in the game it still makes no sense as ull be talkin to 4 in game and 4 ppl who not even in the match and still teaming with 8 randoms who wont hear u anyway since ur on party chat. The party system and comms go hand in hand.
no defending a crappy party system 4 person squads work fine but let us get together 12 ppl and join as a grp and we organise the squads ourselves ingame or outside
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2826564925942404999/1/ (http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2826564925942404999/1/) support the thread, dont be lazy.
+1
Even on the 360, everything is great except the comm system. They really need to get it right in this game.

I knew this beta was to test the servers out take a read
Already knew that, question is, why couldn't it be a more solid Beta instead of the crap they put out there to "test" their servers....less than ONE month to release? Hmmm? I still don't trust them...I predict tons of Patches to come in the next few months..

Because it's Beta and I actually find it to be a great game I still have hope that the final release will be an enjoyable one. cuz as it stands this "Beta" is total BS

I am still going to get the game, already pre-ordered and I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I will join WarOne on Xbox 360 sweats and hopefully all issues will be resolved by launch.

Post by: Notnice on October 03, 2011, 07:51:53 PM
umm pretty much everyone knew this the problem lies in nothing much changes from a beta this close to the actual game and before u get on defending dice, its been done before, BC2 "beta", KZ3 "beta", R3 "beta" ,SOCOM 4 "beta" and now BF3 "beta"
they release these a month before the game to test servers but nothing major gameplay wise is changed that is already set in stone which is why im not too optimistic about anything being fixed for the consoles and DICE's silence is downright disgusting that they dont even come out and tell ppl the real deal if crap is fixed or not, so ppl would be under the impression that crap might be fixed and be suckered basically into buyin the same bs again.
I didnt buy BC2 because of how these same problems were in the "beta" and made its way to retail and bought MAG instead......sadly i do not have that choice this time as my clan is looking towards a game to play while we await DUST 514 which isnt due out till summer 2012
was really hopin BF would break the trend of fail 2011 games but the lack of response from the devs is giving me the impression another fail game is about to drop

About an hour of gameplay you post there you know!
LOL lil less than 50 mins
smh @ DICE lol they locked my thread, they will have to ban me from battlelog cuz ill keep droppin logic bombs on them because it makes no sense. Dont boast ur game is this big teamwork game when teamwork wise u limit it severely, ill rip that argument apart all day because on paper cod provides more teamwork than this bs and i hate cod
There is no logical reason to limit a party system to 4 ppl, none whatsoever....if they so interested in keepin the lone wolves happy (dunno why they already put tdm in for them) then implement a "platoon gametype" or sum so ppl who wanna launch as a full party or more than 1 squad can do that

Game will fail hard on consoles just like their other efforts and ppl will be on their mw3....such a shame to see such potential wasted by dumb dev decisions, this year needs to end quickly bunch of disappointments right through

If DICE won't respond to you, it's probably because they don't consider your suggestions that 'important', (and I use the word 'important' loosely here). Not that your suggestions aren't valid, but DICE is sticking to what has worked for them for the last three games. It may not be necessarily what you want, but you either buy the game and live with it, or don't buy it. It's that simple.
Maybe what you want is a system that allows you and your merry band to just beat up on random groups of players who may not be as 'pro' as yourselves. Sadly, you are in a very small, but rather vocal, minority. Most of us prefer it just the way it is. On PC, it doesn't really matter though, because there's Mumble, which handles all comms, regardless. Most of the times we have played, we're not in the same squad, but the Mumble comms allowed us to be as effective as we needed to be.
Perhaps you need to start playing your FPSes on the PC.
I was like you once, when I believed that Goldeneye on the N64 was THE be all, end all to multiplayer shooters... then I saw the light (aka Unreal Tournament on the PC).
Nothing you say at this point will change anything, so stop 'hotting up yuh head' homie. Seriously.

where anything about being pro and beating up on randoms come into play? what have i consistently said in the past? that i rather a challenge and play against organised ppl than stompin on noobs all day which is what a proper party system will provide rather than it being 3 grps of 4 all off doin god knows what which in turns makes it even easier for me to move around
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/gatt_ViCeKaRTeL/stats/351561420/ps3/ (http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/gatt_ViCeKaRTeL/stats/351561420/ps3/) bear in mind i play solo most of the times since when we squad up we end up on different teams anyway (awesome party system!) due to auto balance and mics dont work...at all...not even in the same squad (teamwork by telepathy ftw!) and i still always get 1 of the mvp ribbons
the problem is most of yall looking at it from a PC perspective and not looking at it from a console perspective, all my issues have nothing at all to do with PC and if console ppl cant see the glaring flaws in the design of the game then god help this new generation of gamers
PS: for the last time when d pc get the games i like to play then talk to me about playing fps on the pc other than that i see no KZ, no SOCOM, no Resistance, no Uncharted, No DUST , no starhawk nothing of the sorts coming to PC so why in god's name would i buy/build a gaming pc? to sit and stare at the parts?

Well sir, you are the architect of your own issues.
Your console tears, I can taste them.
Continue to bask in your non-PC-ness, and keep complaining.
If you feel so strongly, then do like Shivadee, and try to get into the industry, and try to actually make a difference.
For your sake, I hope Sony brings you the PS4 soon, and guess what, it'll be closer in capability and feature-set to a gaming PC than you might care to appreciate.

Great new fellas
"After analyzing the data from our first round of closed Caspian Border tests, we have great news for participants in the Battlefield 3 PC Open Beta: the DICE team has decided to bring back Caspian Border for the beta’s final weekend and conduct an open large scale test of the 64 player Caspian Border map.
*****Please keep in mind that as this is beta we will be stress testing our servers***** As such, users may experience crashes, network instability and outages as we roll out and configure servers and network utilities. Understand that such potential issues and the testing environment are not reflective or indicative of the final product and that, through your participation, you will be helping to ensure future stability and functionality.
As we are again specifically testing 64-player server configurations, this test will be for PC only. The Caspian Border servers will be available for all PC players to join. Caspian Border will be available starting Friday, October 7th, in the afternoon (CET). "

Battlefield 3 BETA | Operation Metro | RUSH | we lost even tho the mcom CLEARLY blew up? gg DICE gg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfwz8SSl9qk#ws)
skip to 28:05 onwards... ummm wtf happened at the end? we clearly clutched that 2nd mcom station and blew it up but lost? thought once the mcom is armed defenders still need to disarm it to win?
@Arc sorry that i am not a fanboy and bring up flaws in a game (ppl need to learn the difference between a fan and fanboy), sorry i dont let things slide and just bend over and take watever they throw without voicing an opinion.
Kool sony can bring on the PS4 anytime, like i said its a matter of the games and quite frankly console gets most of what the PC gets + moar in terms of content so at this point in time till the PC gets more exclusive games, particularly shooters, that can are only available on the PC then investing in a gaming PC is a waste of money. Its that simple.
I have yet to buy a 360 for that very reason, payin for a console then payin for online to only play 2 games that interest me = waste of money, when ah win d lotto then sure.

Man say only reason for gaming PC is exclusives and no exclusives = waste of money yes.
Increased power under the hood resulting in vastly better graphics and higher level of immersion into the gaming experience compared to any console is all a waste of money right?
*MINDBLOWN*
Nobody saying not to have your console for the exclusives you like so much but at least acknowledge the fact that the PC is undeniably the superior platform.
If you ever see BF3 running at 1080p maxed out, you will not even argue. Guaranteed.

Well.....it's not the industries' fault that your interests are so narrow my friend, and nowhere did I use, or even suggest the word 'fanboy'. I think we're above such nonsense now.
I have no problem with pointing out flaws, hell, I do that with every game I play, but at some point you've got to either accept it for what it is, or just walk away. MW2 and Black Ops are two examples of this. I just simply couldn't accept what was presented, so I simply walked away.
In short, make lemonade, but nothing's wrong with abandoning it if the taste isn't to your liking.
On topic: Caspian Border for PC only eh.
The irony here is just laughable.

Top 10 Battlefield 3 Open Beta issues and how we are addressing them
We’re more than half way through the open beta and thrilled to see so many people still enjoying the game while continuing to give us great feedback. As part of our dedication to showing you how your feedback is directly affecting and improving Battlefield 3, here are the latest Top-Ten Community Issues that we’re addressing.
1. Squad issues: Cannot play with friends within same squad, squads get split up onto opposite teams, etc. There will be improved squad functionality in the retail game (including but not limited to): the ability to create squads prior to launching into a game, sticking with your squad when joining a game and continuing together through future games (If team balance on the server allows it), inviting friends to a squad and changing squads once in game.
2. Regarding additional Open Beta content and fixes/patches for consoles, including PlayStation 3 issues with chat and party systems While we would like to patch the Open Beta, DICE is currently focusing its available resources on polishing the retail game.
3. Will DICE have enough time to iron out everything by release? Please see General Manager Karl Magnus Troedsson's blog post regarding this question.
4. Can we have ability to change settings/options before deployment into match on PC? The ability to modify your settings via the deploy screen has been added into the retail game.
5. Issues with terrain stability and “falling into the map” on Operation Métro This has been fixed for the beta via a server side update.
6. Kill cam sometimes zooms out too far or outside the map This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.
7. A bug that sometimes keeps some players from being able to sprint This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.
8. Screen flickering/stuttering. Blue screen remains after respawn. Game locks up after deploying C4 (360) This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.
9. Downed bodies appear to be dead, but are not The DICE team has been looking into this issue – which is caused by a combination of incidents in a confined area - and are working hard to address the issue for the launch of the retail game.
10. Why is the hit detection seemingly different from Battlefield: Bad Company 2? The netcode is one of the many things that we are testing as part of the Open Beta and is not necessarily reflective of the final retail game. The DICE team appreciates and has heard the feedback you’ve provided and is further optimizing online play.

did i ever say it wasnt the superior platform? why try to twist my words? everyone knows the PC is the superior platform duh u can keep upgrading it to ur hearts content, consoles cant. The only thing i said was that just because u game on a PC doesnt mean u are a better gamer.......BIG difference.
i fed up tell ppl graphics dont matter much to me, i play mainly mp and i am too focused to take in pretty colours. The only thing on my mind is killing the enemy, completing the objective and winning, not admiring the scenery.

wow, starwars the old republic making a strong showing in the pre-order numbers.
MW3 wtfpwning everything as expected.
Nice to see Battlefield 3 not lagging too far behind. That in itself is an achievement.
As usually it gets trounced by CoD. In that chart, Activision/Sledgehammer only out did DICE by 60%
Shame shame for BF3 PC pre-orders being just a fraction of the console offerings.
This was the "come back" game for the platform and that's what the numbers looking like?
Digital sales numbers should be the easiest to report (being digital after all). For the life of me I can't understand why they keep the digital sales figures under such a shroud of secrecy.

Not true actually, I play console games at the same speed as pc games and so do a lot of good players. When I played the BF3 beta on the 360 the gameplay didnt feel slower than it did on the PC, honestly wouldn't doubt that I could use a 360 controller and murder people in PC shooter titles.

Waayyyyyy. Now that is just ridiculously OP.
Basically a 1-shot kill anywhere from the waist up? :( The majority of the kills were just that. I hope that gets fixed in the retail game.
As a rule, sniper-rifles should be 1-shot lethal from head-shots only.
This is why DICE self had to end up nerfing the sniper-rifles in Medal Of Honor.

i say it should be based on the weapon, i have no problem with a 50 cal taking a one shot one kill..also this weapon has a steady grip and control unlike the sv98(which most ppl hate) besides warone

Somebody always has to play the 'irl' card when sniper-rifle discussion comes up eh... :|
Cap...you wouldn't even know IF it got nerfed from beta to retail.
Only the people who like playing Recon won't have a problem with it.
The aiming in BF3 is too 'easy' for a weapon like that, and the shooter in that vid demonstrated that easily by quick-scoping and killing two, or three enemies in quick succession. Didn't even need much work for the crosshairs to settle on target. If you're gonna make it that easy to aim that rifle, then make it harder to kill with body shots. Two shots minimum. Makes it that much more fair (in my opinion of course).
So you're running, out in the open, and you get one shot to the body, you get seriously wounded, so one time you look for cover. If the sniper's good, he kills you with the second shot. I'm OK with that.
If he's really good, he gets you with a head-shot, 1st hit, and well, it's game over. I'm OK with that.
Quick-scope, single-hit, instant-kill body-shots. Not OK with that.
Now, if you could choose between carrying smoke grenades or frag grenades (all classes), then you have an effective counter right there, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the case.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see won't we. :)

lol! As they say, Balance > Realism in games like these.
The SV98 had the right balance imo, 1 to the head, 2 to the body for a kill. I guess i could live with a OHK with the most powerful rifle to the upper torso only.

aye man a sniper in a rush map may have some advantage but a sniper in a conquest map is a sitting duck in some instances, there are many ways to get a sniper,the smoke grenade, man that totally take out their vision, laser red dot which does the same thing basically, and the give away reflective scope, come on couldn't get easier. i have killed snipers from long ranges using my trusty AKs and other sub-machines weapons, this guy was clearly playing with some noobs who was just running around because if it was the =[PT]= up in that mofo then all those hiding points that he was hiding in the game would have been covered... say no to noobism.

I found that when I was sniping I got one shot kills with hits from the chest up and I hope they keep this so. Xavier the SV98 is dat shiz, that sniper rifle in the vid you posted looks good as well will see how it is when I get my hands on it.

Then there is the server browser with its filters. One of the filter sections is the preset selection. By default, no filtering is done on presets (so the server browser show all servers regardless of any game mode-affecting settings).
There are four different presets in Battlelog: Normal, Hardcore, Infantry Only and Custom.
If your server has settings set to match either Normal, Hardcore or Infantry only, then it will show up in matching searches. If your settings are different, then it will match a search for Custom servers.

Does cariszone accept cash on delivery as well? (I emailed them to ask, since you need a CC to order) I don't have access to a CC these days, and i really want BF3 ASAP :(
Unless some one is willing to pre-purchase a digital copy for me, for which I will meet you and repay you in cash :) (PM me if anyone want to help)

With everything that's been said by DICE concerning the development of this game, I'm not that surprised.
PC version is where it's at this time around. Based on the graphical performance of the Alpha and Beta PC trials...I think we're in good hands. :happy0203:

Bad news, Cariszone.com does not accept cash. You need a credit card to place the order.
Good news, GATT offers a cash option to members who do not have credit cards!
You can pay the dollars @ the GATT office in Port of Spain and we will make the order for you.

I may have missed this since i dont always read this thread, but did that previous video say that the console will only support 24 players opposed to the originally intended 32? I find that to be robbery! Seeing as the consoles will have dedicated servers as well if i'm not mistaken. I feel for you my console brethren....

I don't think this was ever in doubt. The yearly release cycle, coupled with insane amounts of hype and marketing has worked wonders for the MW franchise. BF3 was always the 'underdog' in this 'fight'.

Hey, how does the amazon digital download work? Can the person who purchases the game send it as a gift to someone else?
first of all it downloads very fast.. most effective, i have flow 25mb and it downloaded the 10.1GB file in like 50mins. However u cannot gift it to anyone, u can however purchase the product and right in the digital download section in Amazon u would be able to view all product keys. You can then email or message this key to ur friend and they would be able to redeem it in origin accordingly. =[PT]=

Kinda. You can buy the digital download, and you can go to 'Your Digital Items' and retrieve the 'CD-Key'. You can then email said key to someone else, who can then redeem it within Origin.
The game still shows up as 'yours' in Amazon, but once it's redeemed within Origin that's it...it now 'belongs' to that person's Origin account.

by DICE's 6th-8th attempt we should have an actual proper console game coming from them, i anxiously await such time for it shall be an awesome game
on a more positive note campaign so far is good, not too much a fan of sp portion of games but reminds me of black ops and cod games always have good sp so hopefully it continues strong

To be fair Vice, the PC players suffered the same ordeal for BC2, but you know what? That never stopped us from raping in even though we were in different squads (mumble ftw!). They say BF is a more tactical game and one man cant go running around guns blazing and win a match but that isnt 100% true imo. I've seen 1-3 men turn around a match already, so as much as u say playing randoms causes you to lose, it can go both ways.
At least now with Battlelog we can form parties and join in on servers together, will get split up into separate squads yes, but again we have mumble to compensate for that. It's a shame they couldnt figure out a way to improve the party system on the console tho. I feel for you and everyone else that lack of feature will burn.
I'm also very impressed with how the consoles are looking tho. Beat my expectations i must say. Will still like to see it 1st hand of course to cast my final judgement

virtue u miss the point completely we can talk to different squads we cant however get into the same game with 2 squads we party up with 1 squad and join a match thats it......and as auto balance is on most likely if u tell them the server u on they will still get put on the other team
graphics mean zip to me, game cud be looking like the footage of console without the hd pack and id play the hell outta it once it has proper party options
fact of the matter is they straight up watched ppl in their face and lied. said we were getting clan v clan support.....nada, not even private matches at launch lol only thing they did was improve the comms but that means jack squat when randoms will play how they want and do what they want and not really give a damn about teamwork
see this is the difference with cod and bf and where cod beats it hands down......and for me to say that u know its bad because i despise cod
cod doesnt limit teamwork, cod says here......u can have 6 ppl on a team (9 if u playing ground war) then u can fill that with all ur friends if u want and have fun
BF says......uhhh......here what padnas.....pick 3 friends and play even tho we have room for 12 on team, have fun with our luck based system on winning, hope u get some decent randoms :)
and thats the difference. cod folks just choose not to play as a team much but the option is there, bf however u are forced into a luck situation hoping for the best because ur limited
and this isnt even mainly from a clan perspective because ah know ppl gonna come here an say "oh u just wanna roflstomp randoms with ur pro buddies" thats not the case cuz i hate easy matches and would have liked proper clan support.
Gaming is a social experience as well, and by limiting the party system they limiting that. why do u think u dont find BF sweats on console, especially ps3? is because is only 4 ppl can play so they stick to a game that will allow them to fill a team up and sweat.
Right now this game isnt even worthy of palance thursdays that berzerk holds, because we cant even setup a private match to play against one another
Why cater to casuals alone and alienate ur hardcore following? why? BF2:MC on ps2/xbox has more clan support and party options than this and thats sad.
Sorry to the fanboys who worship dice eh but just spittin facts and how it is FROM A CONSOLE PERSPECTIVE and i hate to see games with so much potential throw it away.
@TnT Ghost umm excuse me? do u not have an opinion? its because ppl dont voice their opinions u have alot of sh!t goin on now, politicians doin what they want, game devs doin the same all because ppl just sit back and take it.

No reason to walk in a store unless you just like to spend gas / travelling money.

@Vice, i agree with you and most if not all the points. What i was gettin at was the fact that, the experience is what you make it. I do feel for the console men who have to endure that lack of teamwork and co-ordination because of poor ground work on a developers part. It happens on the PC as well. Even on the PC auto-balance i think will still drag people off the teams even if they joined as a squad/party. I'll gladly be on the opposing team if it means i get to harass the life out of Awesome, Notnice, Arcman and the rest of the possie.
But again, i try to enjoy a game for what it IS, not what I or anyone thinks it should be.

from DICE? lol......No these are things that have been asked for by the console community since BC1 the mere fact that dice can go on record in an interview and say BF3 will have clan support and clan matches and then not have anything tells me alot, battlelog forums are full of lulz atm
What puzzles me is u make a party system with only 4 ppl and still cant get those 4 on the same team....ah mean come na man, cod puts u in a match on d same team and if the other team lacking ppl they WAIT till it full the other side they dont take ppl from ur party to balance the team, how hard is da for DICE to do?
last night after much tinkering and luck we managed to get 6 of us on 1 team, 1 poor soul had to suffer on the enemy team tho, his bravery will be remembered.
we actually had this mystical thing called teamwork it was beautiful
Ive been playing since i got it monday and i heard ONE random talk all the time ive played........ONE and only reason he talked was to cuss because at the start of a caspian border rush, we loaded up 5 in a chopper and the genius chopper pilot crashed and killed us all......no heads up......no hoss ah loss control.......just crashed and tk'd us because thats the what the kool kids do.
i then had the pleasure to FOOT it to the objective because no vehicles were there......quit match about halfway through the sprint, terrible map for rush tbh
all the other maps good but caspian should have def been a pc only map waaay too open and too long of a run if u have no vehicles.
All in all fun game if u like playing solo and wanna blow shit up without caring too much about teamwork and winning.

This campaign mission was very very BAD! And I mean BAD in the GOODEST way possible. It had some of the prettiest graphics I've ever seen =O I was there playing that mission, hoping an Ace Combat game would be made on Frostbite 2 lol
Thoroughly enjoying the campaign :)

Yeah, but I may have to run one mode only.
I did not know that Rush mode is limited to 32 players, so when the server switches from a Conquest map to a Rush map...16 players get dropped. Not cool. :(
I added reserved slots for all the GATT members on my Battlelog friends list...so now you know what to do to get a slot. :)

The man was boastin on bbm but I thought it was idle talk
Seeing the man ranking #1 on the server.
I'll have to come and fix that
oh and a hefty +5 for the reserved slot add.
I'll let him enjoy that top spot on the GATT server

Put five or six if you like.

lol @ toys. I wish Christmas could come early for me as well.
The game is beautiful (even on my lowly PC) but it deserves a beast of a machine to run it in full glory.
Definitely worthy of throwing out some cash to upgrade.
I'd rate it a firm 10/10 (just from the multiplayer, haven't touched the single player as yet)
Just checked our server stats, over 1000 soldiers have fought in the GATT Carigamers Area of Operations.
That's in what? One week? Must be a new record for any server we've hosted over the past 10 years.

DICE really needs to go back and actually play on some of these ghost town console maps Everytime i play Caspian Border i get a headache and even more so in Rush. No way in hell someone will watch caspian on console and say that map is a good map for 24 players. They need to bring in those spawns and objectives closer on some of the maps to keep the action up....400 meter run from point a to point b on caspian only to probably get snipe by some fgt in a bush aint fun

gats me a 360 version of BF3...yeeeeeehawww..
Started playing with Redlum and co. Its fun! I'm enjoying it despite its setbacks. Having a good time, which is the point of any good game! :D MP is nice, I see myself having a nice time with it. :) Vehicles feel nice, LOVE the sound (although you get dead zones off and on) and LOVE the vault system, feels SO good..... good game, literally! DICE you have done well. Awesome studio, awesome game. And WELL done despite your early release of the project (by 3 months FYI).
This is all it can be for what it delivers. Honestly I dont think any studio could roll out something like this to push up against CoD and not get laughed at, EXCEPT this studio.
SP/Co-op on the other hand...jeeezus H Christ, its a f*cking disaster....3-4 count AI spawning fail, enemy detection/visual fail, im walking through objects...dont get me started. I understand "one doesn't play BF for SP/Co-Op." I blame marketing and NOT DICE...i always have love for studios under corporate companies...they work HARD, VERY hard....
My answer to the quotes on forums regarding SP "wah wah wah....wah wah"
But for what a person SHOULD buy this game for. Very cool :) You like BF, you should do yourself right and get this game.
BF Fans, I think you have what you like...and thats enough.
POWER TO THE PLAYERS. Its always about the players.

agree despite the set backs which i consider minor the game is damn well enjoyable, haven't played the sp yet been hooked on the mp so far, and i think that sound thing is either a bug or that ring in your ears u get when explosives go off near you i only experience it when grenades and tank fire go off.

Alright just had a near death experience, i loaded battlefield 3 pressed start as usual then at the loading profile data screen I got the message "Existing player profile data appears to be damaged and cannot be used" after I was defibrillated, I hit up google and found the solution:
(Go to System settings>Memory>Hard Drive>Games>Battlefield 3>PROFILE SAVE DATA and delete PROFILE SAVE DATA.) After you load the game again it will go tru the screen as if you first got the game then it'll download ur stats... so just in case this happens to anyone else.
this is happened on the 360 btw.

Nice pointers there...especially the one about switching between 1st and 3rd person cameras during flight. I actually have a button on my controller mapped to the 'switch camera' function just for that. It's much easier to find another jet, or perform evasive manoeuvres in 3rd person, and then immediately switch to 1st person for attack runs.
Same thing applies to choppers...even more so because you're usually closer to the ground.
A good tactic for successful missile evasion is to wait until you hear the missile-launch tone before you deploy your flares and the dive for the nearest terrain feature that can mask you from the missile, like a hill. A lot of times you can spoof the missile into hitting something else, but only if the distance between you and the missile-launch point is more than 500 metres. I have used this tactic to great effect in maps with a lot of hilly terrain, like Operation Firestorm, and Kharg Island.
If you have no terrain, then your next best bet is a manoeuvre called a 'Split-S', where you roll inverted, and pull your nose below the horizon, and keep pulling until your plane is again flying level, but you'll be heading in exactly the opposite direction from where you 1st entered the manoeuvre. The most important thing about this is that YOU MUST HAVE ENOUGH ALTITUDE. I should not have to explain why. :)
I really wish that DICE had implemented some sort of visual cue on your HUD as to the bearing and/or range to the incoming missile. It would have made it just a little more fair in my opinion. It seems like the stinger and LAV launchers have all the advantage.

We try to keep mumble lively and fun, if I ever go too far or not far enough give me a hollar and I will rectify the situation. When you come on next time we will get on the same team to make it easier to get into the game a little faster, will learn how to run away from bullets as it is always dangerous around us most of the time.

If you still haven’t picked up a copy of Battlefield 3 on the PC and usually get your games on Valve’s Steam store, we have some interesting rumors to share with you. Whispers are now gathering on a possible Steam release for the game after EA’s initial stance that they would only be releasing the game on Origin.
There are two vital pieces of evidence that suggest that Battlefield 3 is coming to Steam and one of them appears to be more concrete than the other. If you head to this competition page being held by Sapphire, you’ll see that they are giving away one free copy of the game, but requires the user to redeem his or her code on Steam. Check out a portion of their terms below, as reported from VG247.
”One (1) PC Game code for Battlefield 3, redeemable for the game on Steam (www.steampowered.com) with a Suggested Retail Price of $USD 59.99”
Futhermore, a user has left a message on the official Steam forums revealing that there are a couple of Steam related files that are already located on the PC version of the game. If you want to check out these files for yourself, head to your installation directory for Punkbuster and you should see them.
If the news turns out to be true, then it means that EA has made a mighty u-turn on their opinions of Steam after initially saying that they wouldn’t be offering the game on Valve’s marketplace. Could it be that gamers are not taking too kindly to buying the game from EA’s own Origin store perhaps?
It’s great news for PC users regardless as it gives users a much easier way of picking up the game as Steam is easily the most used digital distribution store in terms of PC game sales. EA are probably well aware of this, so don’t be surprised to see an official announcement this week.
Would you pick up Battlefield 3 on Steam, should it become available or do you not care about where you get your games from?
+1 for that vid CptChris. Hopefully the arcade style players in BF3 take a look at it and listen!
im one of them, just tryin to see how i can improve....fast...

When i started playing BC2 with the guys i sucked. Like seriously. I sucked. But as i played more and more, i got better. Though i still run around from time to time like its COD, works some times, other times its a bad idea XD
Honestly, playing against/with the whole crew so much was the reason i got better. All the little tips they drop by you. Small training sessions with the tanks and choppers on dead servers. And most importantly, the teamwork. The constant communication on Mumble (tho im sure crackers will cuss me for such a statement lol). Heck even while on the other team and listening to them and where they're heading on the map is a plus :sassy:.
I'm sure even Emperor, who started playing after me in BC2, will tell you the same thing. My advice to you, keep playing with us as much as you can and soon enough you'll be in those top 3 spots on the scoreboards =D. Also i heard wearing the [PT] clan tag boosts ur skill over 9000 :happy0203:

Just finished the campaign. Pretty slick stuff. Very high production values, though not as over the top as the Call of Duty series. I had 2 problems with the campaign..
1.) Random dying - A bug in the game where you randomly die... Seriously, just walking around with no enemies around..and I die. lol. The good thing though, checkpoints for the most part are placed closely together.
2.) The quicktime events. They add cinematic value to the game and I have no problem with that. The problem here is that in other games, a mistake with a quicktime event isn't as brutal as in bf3. You get other opportunities to try again during the sequence. In bf3, make a mistake..you die -.- It could just be me as I ain't gamed on pc in a long time. Misclicking/typing just made the game disjointed for me :(
Overall a very boss campaign. Beautiful campaign, and very "realistic" at times.

The DICE boss shared the news in the latest issue of PSM3, where he revealed that despite Battlefield 3 looking very much like a shooter designed for advanced PC hardware, the latter stages of Battlefield 3's construction lead on PS3 and Xbox 360 in order to meet release on time.

Did anyone else notice on Battlelog they are now recording your equipment kills, like mortar the EOD Bot and also the MAV. Finally I can see how many people I have tazed in the balls with the EOD Bot and beaten to dead with the MAV, yay!!! Isn't that wonderful Mr. Cpt.Awesome.

Sure you don't have the "random death" perk on? I know TriniWyatt uses it alot (explains why he's still level 1) :sassy:
Doesn't pop up as "suicide"? Or you just drop down? Because it could just be the auto balancing moving you around. If that's the case, you'll just drop down randomly with no warning.

Arc I dont know bout those other fellahs but we are now square, any stabbings that happen from now on will be followed by a sauce/appetizer named in your honor. You will be in an elite squad of, Awesome Sauce - Awesome, Fry Rice - Virtue and Redfish - Redfish. This could be you, so damn mouthwatering!!!
lol @ warone running scared. I would run if I were him too. He made his bed and eventually he will have to lie on it.
Since when sauce giving humans talk boy. Can you even hold a knife, steups someone put a turkey bone in or wha. Today I will stay on the opposite team from Awesome, does that satisfy everyone... good times good times.

on a side note, ever wonder why one doesn't see the type 88 LMG as an un-lockable item for the assault class, its because currently its only available with the physical warfare-pack which is (or was) available from GameSpot, yeah i want it.. i think we may have to purchase it. =[PT]=

Not trolling just wondering if serious
cuz the game despite being fun, when we dont stack a team, has serious issues alot of which are still present from the demo they released and others are features they said would be in the game but actually isnt + features asked for by the community some games back that still hasnt gotten around to. Might wanna take a look at the console section of battlelog every once in a while
so while u say dice dont stick on fixes next time might wanna be a little more specific because thats not entirely true and this is a battlefield general thread not a pc only thread.

Dude, just let us know when you want to run BF3 and we there...I prefer a full team as opposed to playing with randoms we do so much better with the communication and team work as opposed to rushing a point with a few of us while the rest of the "team" of randoms staying back and sniping.....:S gets me so pissed off. But we should have a good bit of people to run with to have at least 2 full squads. In a party chat that should be bess...

Interesting read.
The CPU performance benchmarks surprised me though. I was expecting CPU cores/performance to have more of an effect.
Not surprised that the game is so GPU-intensive. DICE really turned it up to 11...especially the lighting effects. OMG @ the sun-flare.
I unlocked the M240B. My GOD the muzzle climb while firing that weapon is horrendous. I'm glad it came with the bi-pod, but that means no more firing on the move. It almost forces you to fire from prone. The frustrating thing is, to unlock the foregrip for it, I need to keep getting kills with it.
I'll stick with the tried and true M249 until I can unlock the M60 yes.

Started the campaign, honestly it IS the best looking game on the 360, however I did find the caveats. They use HEAVY lens flares but I guess dues to the limitations of the consoles, it literally is a POINT light source they cleaverly place in front of street lights and car lights, problem is it makes it REALLY hard to see ANYTHING once you're close to it NO matter the angle XD... it's like a little SUN in the middle of nowhere. That aside its going OK, MW3 story line is alot better, but i'm taking it in, trying to enjoy it as much as possible.

You have to LOVE teamplay for bf3 to be enjoyable. There is just no way around it.
Sorry to say, win, you're a cod fan and thats fine but its a game where a single man could theoretically win an entire game. Not so with bf3. No teamwork no win.

Post by: W1nTry on November 14, 2011, 05:15:01 PM
Don't get me wrong I like playing with a stable set of players, however if your gaming is dependent on a staple team... well hoss is real salt cause man have baby to see bout, other men out liming, etc etc. While you there WAITING for a team... just cyah abide by that... and 4 men squads sucked in bfbc2 and STILL SUCK NOW.
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: Spazosaurus on November 14, 2011, 05:19:02 PM
I dont know how it is in xbl but at almost any given time, you can find at least one man in mumble to sweat bf3 with. Peak times between 7 and 12, i'd say at least 10 people pass through and take a sweat.
Personally, I could have done with some more space in between flags of the large maps. They are too bunched together imo but 4 man squads while not ideal works pretty well for us. One man per class...force to be reckoned with!!!

Post by: W1nTry on November 14, 2011, 05:22:59 PM
Well cap thats why i've been trying HARD to like bf3 (on the console) the adoption rate is slow at best and even whe you do have a 4 man team... there's just no guarantee its enough... sometimes it feels like 4 against 12... just doh work out well.. and well borderline 30 fps is just not smooth enough for my 60fps spoilt eyes XD
We may TRY again later, i'll see how many men fall in

you can't even provide decent air support in this game again always some c**t in a jet flying into you or the WHOLE enemy team with stingers, worst off my own team doesn't even shoot down enemy aircrafts!!
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: WarOne on November 15, 2011, 02:51:49 AM
This is info I gave people on mumble, a sure fire way to dodge air to air and stinger missles can even dodge javelin missles with this. Simply you fly straight-ish when you hear the early lock-on tone, when there is a definite lock you hit air brake for 2 seconds(this will make it easier for you to turn) do a 180 degree turn as soon as you are fully turned around hit your afterburner, the missles will either bypass you or try to turn to hit you and miss.
This works 80 percent of the time, 10 percent of hits come from jets that are wayyyy too close(and you deserve to get shot down for letting a jet lock onto you at a close range) and the other 10 percent comes from you making a mistake.
I dont have any problems with engineers with stingers, I normally take out tanks with my guided missles and dodge the stingers before leaving the area, only die to the guns on jets and bastard ass AA vehicles.

this is all well and good for jets but i only fly helis, if i encounter enemy jets i jus dip low and pull back to my side hoping someone on my team will take them out while trying to lock on wit heat seekers myself, but ditto it only work some of the time

Or we can lock down the server and have flight school like what we did for some hours this weekend so I actually got a good handle on how the jet behaves without being shot down as I take off.

U feel Flow care about gamers? All they interested in is giving people a whole lot of speed that they really dont use that often. (Apart from us techies, who really sits down whole day downloading stuff?)
Gaming and its associated requirements are very low down on their priority, as is attending to customers' concerns.
My measley 2mb blink connection works better than my 10mbit flow ever did.

I have gamed on both Flow and Blink and i'd choose blink any day.

Our 2 "measly" 2 mb blink connection at home can handle W1nTry on Xbox Live, myself on BF3 AND SluchinTT on HoN/TF2, without any noticeable lag. The downside to having blink is that i took about 15 hours to download BF3 XD

Patch notes for Nov 22 patch Major client update for the PC version Battlefield 3 as well as a server-side update for all platforms.
The update will be made on Nov. 22nd 7:00 AM UTC / Nov. 21st 11:00 PM PST.
We’ll share release timing on the console patches as soon as we are clear on the timing, these take a bit longer due to console certification process.
---- Client-Side Changes:
-- Visuals, Stability and Performance Fixes:
• General performance and loading time improvements • “Black Screen” fix for an issue occurring on some PC Configurations • Stereo and Rendering Support for Nvidia and AMD Graphics Cards • Adjusted the “stuttering” encountered on some PC configurations. • Fixed several Crashes when joining MP and Co-Op sessions • Fixed multiple problems when using multiple monitors (Eyefinity / Surround). • Fixed visual corruption issues on certain Nvidia Cards • Improved loading times for certain textures • Added console command “GameTime.MaxVariableFps” to limit max FPS • Added console command “UI.DrawEnable” to hide UI for screenshots / videos
-- Balance and Gameplay Adjustments (PC)
• Fixed a problem with high speed mouse movement • Added back some missing Growlers on Kharg Island Conquest Large • Added back EOR sound for SQDM and TDM • You should no longer be able to damage a friendly vehicle when sitting in an open position • Grenades now drop to ground if you get killed while attempting to throw it(note the affect this will have on Hardcore mode!) • Spawn protection now should work in Conquest. You should no longer spawn on points too close to enemies • You should no longer spawn too close to enemies in TDM and SQDM • Combat areas on Kharg Rush tweaked in order to disallow defenders to access the carrier ship after 1st base is taken and being able to enter the AA gun • Fixed a problem with revived players not suffering suppression • Fixed a problem with the camera when being revived in COOP • Added joystick deadzone setting • Fixed sound for when climbing ladders • Fixed an issue with some weapon sounds in first person • Fixed a swim sound loop error • Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns, AA guns, and Jet Cannons against infantry • Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns against jeeps. • Reduced the physics impact of AA guns and Jet Cannons, players under attack from these weapons should no longer lose control. • Increased the damage of the 44 Magnum slightly. • Increased the range and minimum damage of the .357 Round from the MP412 Rex. • Increased the range of all .45cal and 9mm weapons. • Slightly increased the range of the P90 and MP7 and PDW-R. • Slightly increased the range of the 5.56mm PDW-R and decreased the minimum damage at long range. • Slightly increased the minimum range of the Mk11, SVD, and M39 EMR 7.62mm rifles. • Decreased the maximum damage and maximum range of the G3 and SCAR-H 7.62mm weapons. • Reduced the damage from FIM-92 and SA-18 IGLA missiles against aircraft. • Increased the damage and range of the 40mm BUCK rounds. • Reduced the damage .50cal weapons do against Helicopters. • Updated T90 canister shell tweaks to match Abrams canister shells UI Changes (PC) • Added round duration and ticket summary at EOR • Advanced squad polish – should be more intuitive • Significant changes to the Join Squad functionality (see below) • Fixed a problem regarding keybindings while playing • You should now get a better error message when being disconnected via Battlelog
---- Server Update Highlights
• EOD Bot exploit fix • Several crash fixes • Anti-stat padding measures taken, disallowing ranked servers to run obscure settings • Improved team kill kick configuration • Support for unranked servers. Unranked servers do not report players' scores to Battlelog, but server administrators can freely control all settings
-- Share your profile and stats with new Battlelog functionality
• Ability to share your Profile and Stats pages to Facebook, Google+, and Twitter • User Profile and Stats pages on Battlelog can now be accessed without being signed in to Battlelog if you know a user's URL • Single sign on from Battlelog to Origin. If you're not logged in to Origin and join a game server, Battlelog will automatically sign you in to Origin in the background and join the game server
-- Quick notes on Squad changes in the Nov 22 update
• Removed FIND ME A SQUAD option • Allow players to join empty Squads alone, thus having 1/4 squad members • Change order of options to LEAVE SQUAD, INV A FRIEND, SWITCH TEAM • Disable Privacy flag when 1 man squad • Reset Privacy flag from Private to Public when squad drops to 1 player • All occupied Squads will now show up colored blue on the Squad Selection screen • Players who choose not to join squads will also show up as Blue in the "Not in a Squad” line • Squads that are currently empty will display as white -- if you wish to join an empty Squad, you can choose the first one marked with white text
-- A detailed look at Squad refinements
A detailed look at Squad refinements
Today's PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.
First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.
For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position –- the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.
After the patch is applied to consoles (in the near future) you will be able to join Squads by cycling through the list and selecting which Squad you wish to join.

Patch notes for Nov 22 patch Major client update for the PC version Battlefield 3 as well as a server-side update for all platforms.
The update will be made on Nov. 22nd 7:00 AM UTC / Nov. 21st 11:00 PM PST.
We’ll share release timing on the console patches as soon as we are clear on the timing, these take a bit longer due to console certification process.
---- Client-Side Changes:
-- Visuals, Stability and Performance Fixes:
• General performance and loading time improvements • “Black Screen” fix for an issue occurring on some PC Configurations • Stereo and Rendering Support for Nvidia and AMD Graphics Cards • Adjusted the “stuttering” encountered on some PC configurations. • Fixed several Crashes when joining MP and Co-Op sessions • Fixed multiple problems when using multiple monitors (Eyefinity / Surround). • Fixed visual corruption issues on certain Nvidia Cards • Improved loading times for certain textures • Added console command “GameTime.MaxVariableFps” to limit max FPS • Added console command “UI.DrawEnable” to hide UI for screenshots / videos
-- Balance and Gameplay Adjustments (PC)
• Fixed a problem with high speed mouse movement • Added back some missing Growlers on Kharg Island Conquest Large • Added back EOR sound for SQDM and TDM • You should no longer be able to damage a friendly vehicle when sitting in an open position • Grenades now drop to ground if you get killed while attempting to throw it(note the affect this will have on Hardcore mode!) • Spawn protection now should work in Conquest. You should no longer spawn on points too close to enemies • You should no longer spawn too close to enemies in TDM and SQDM • Combat areas on Kharg Rush tweaked in order to disallow defenders to access the carrier ship after 1st base is taken and being able to enter the AA gun • Fixed a problem with revived players not suffering suppression • Fixed a problem with the camera when being revived in COOP • Added joystick deadzone setting • Fixed sound for when climbing ladders • Fixed an issue with some weapon sounds in first person • Fixed a swim sound loop error • Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns, AA guns, and Jet Cannons against infantry • Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns against jeeps. • Reduced the physics impact of AA guns and Jet Cannons, players under attack from these weapons should no longer lose control. • Increased the damage of the 44 Magnum slightly. • Increased the range and minimum damage of the .357 Round from the MP412 Rex. • Increased the range of all .45cal and 9mm weapons. • Slightly increased the range of the P90 and MP7 and PDW-R. • Slightly increased the range of the 5.56mm PDW-R and decreased the minimum damage at long range. • Slightly increased the minimum range of the Mk11, SVD, and M39 EMR 7.62mm rifles. • Decreased the maximum damage and maximum range of the G3 and SCAR-H 7.62mm weapons. • Reduced the damage from FIM-92 and SA-18 IGLA missiles against aircraft. • Increased the damage and range of the 40mm BUCK rounds. • Reduced the damage .50cal weapons do against Helicopters. • Updated T90 canister shell tweaks to match Abrams canister shells UI Changes (PC) • Added round duration and ticket summary at EOR • Advanced squad polish – should be more intuitive • Significant changes to the Join Squad functionality (see below) • Fixed a problem regarding keybindings while playing • You should now get a better error message when being disconnected via Battlelog
---- Server Update Highlights
• EOD Bot exploit fix • Several crash fixes • Anti-stat padding measures taken, disallowing ranked servers to run obscure settings • Improved team kill kick configuration • Support for unranked servers. Unranked servers do not report players' scores to Battlelog, but server administrators can freely control all settings
-- Share your profile and stats with new Battlelog functionality
• Ability to share your Profile and Stats pages to Facebook, Google+, and Twitter • User Profile and Stats pages on Battlelog can now be accessed without being signed in to Battlelog if you know a user's URL • Single sign on from Battlelog to Origin. If you're not logged in to Origin and join a game server, Battlelog will automatically sign you in to Origin in the background and join the game server
-- Quick notes on Squad changes in the Nov 22 update
• Removed FIND ME A SQUAD option • Allow players to join empty Squads alone, thus having 1/4 squad members • Change order of options to LEAVE SQUAD, INV A FRIEND, SWITCH TEAM • Disable Privacy flag when 1 man squad • Reset Privacy flag from Private to Public when squad drops to 1 player • All occupied Squads will now show up colored blue on the Squad Selection screen • Players who choose not to join squads will also show up as Blue in the "Not in a Squad” line • Squads that are currently empty will display as white -- if you wish to join an empty Squad, you can choose the first one marked with white text
-- A detailed look at Squad refinements
A detailed look at Squad refinements
Today's PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.
First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.
For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position –- the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.
After the patch is applied to consoles (in the near future) you will be able to join Squads by cycling through the list and selecting which Squad you wish to join.

Well W1nTry hates it on the console outright.. I see Redlum, Jarrox and Agokillya on a lot. But i'm really not in on the Xbox side of things right now.
Imho, MW3 campaign should have won. The voting isn't consistent across the board. So unless people were only able to vote for 1 category each (which i dont think is the case), people were apparently too busy playing the games to vote. As much as we're gonna rag on MW3, just like we did Blops, people are still going to play, it's still making money and that's not going to change.
Moving on: SWEAT Friday night at 8PM on GATT server!

Man, you have a decent pc, really for the life of me I cant figure out why you fighting up with that xbox version by yourself. The pc version of the game is several orders of magnitude better than that console mess.
When u ready to team up with non-randoms and have a squad to play with EVERY NIGHT, do yourself a favour and get yourself a decent graphics card (http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-DL-DVI-I-SL-DVI-D-PCI-Express-100312-3SR/dp/B0055Y66A4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1321976011&sr=1-1) and jump on in with us.

Downloaded the new patch and am happy to say that the stuttering that had me not wanting to play the game is gone, hallelujah. Awesome stop tryin to push your PC ways upon the XBOX masses, TnT Ghost when I get my copy will be around to run some with you... hopefully.
One big thing I have to add, the XBOX controller is now fully supported, well it was supported before but now the rumble is available. I was sweating some BF3 with NotNice this morning we jump in a tank and I am feeling my desk vibrating lo and behold is because I am being shot by a tank, this totally changes things for me in terms of flying jets as the vibration kicks in when you are shot at or shoot someone... GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES.

Sounds to me like you're having a lot of fun with the PC version there buddy, playing with a squad of men and controller support. So are you telling the gentleman to STAY AWAY from all that fun so you can have it all to yourself with the assurance that "HOPEFULLY" you will play with him one day??

Here we go: 1. A better party system that shows when the game is about to begin, easier to form squad (console does not have the luxury of battlelog like on PC) 2. Slow as molasses navigation of the dashboard when the game is at the HOME SCREEN? wha? why? 3. Part size of 4 (sorry I think 6-8 is the magic number for me) 4. Better starting weapons that are not so drastically UNDERpowered (the starting sniper is better WITHOUT THE SCOPE imagine that). 5. Better campaign with less overuse of night/contrast/point-light-sources) 6. Inter-squad communication (even xbl has a max of 10 in a party) 7. FAR too much camping and in certain maps spawn killing (console maps are smaller) 8. Less than 60FPS... this is a HUGE GRIPE of mine, I feel like I watching 24fps pal movie or something... 9. Installation process even on console was long and frustrating, it took me 45mins from first putting the disc into my xbox to ACTUALLY getting into a game... ORIGIN IS BALLS 10. Team ONLY game, playing solo is an exercise in frustration, even with a 3 man squad unless you're a vehicle and by vehicle I mean JET/Heli specialist, your squad will NOT be able to turn the tide, you are GOING TO LOSE 11. 50,000,000 candlewatt flashlight that 'realistically' can BLIND you in BROAD DAYLIGHT at 20+ feet away.... yeah... realism at its best 12. Sound quality is NOWHERE near the hype, Virtue mentioned even one of our very own BF3 gurus i'll call no names *cough Capn* said a man could walk up yuh back with a TANK and you'd barely notice. Sound is iffy, sometimes it works, most times i can't tell where the enemy is coming from despite having a 5.1 digital headset. 13. Did I mention origin is BALLS?

yea u did mention its balls As far as sounds go i hav no probs i also use a 5.1 headset although what i did notice is that sometimes the sound cuts off or u get really muffled audio. The party system well can't deny that one The fps well i guess ur accustomed to faster paced games personally i just adapt no issues there The Gigawatt flashlights well i agree on that one u cud see that shit from space Camping and spawn killing well im guilty of that **whistles** I see some valid points but personally i just roll with it. My only gripe well gripes are the LACK OF TEAMWORK and the royal C**TS who on kharg island swim to the carrier and camp our effin air vehicles they shud implement some system where u cannot enter the enemy base on ALL maps like seriously. These days i jus find myself playing my rpg's or some other games I'm ashamed to say but my bf3 experience is being ruined. I was gonna stand on bf3's defense but alot of those issues are getting to me also....

I say setup @ that longest headshot.
Win, I feel your pain but I must agree and disagree with some of your points. See my responses in red.
Here we go: 1. A better party system that shows when the game is about to begin, easier to form squad (console does not have the luxury of battlelog like on PC) Play on the PC 2. Slow as molasses navigation of the dashboard when the game is at the HOME SCREEN? wha? why? Play on the PC 3. Part size of 4 (sorry I think 6-8 is the magic number for me) Play on the PC 4. Better starting weapons that are not so drastically UNDERpowered (the starting sniper is better WITHOUT THE SCOPE imagine that). That's the point of unlocks right? Plus, it doesnt take a whole lot of kills to start unlocking the good stuff. No more than 100.
5. Better campaign with less overuse of night/contrast/point-light-sources) I'll give you this one. Cant comment since I havent touched campaign at all. 6. Inter-squad communication (even xbl has a max of 10 in a party) Play on the PC 7. FAR too much camping and in certain maps spawn killing (console maps are smaller) Really? A COD man complaining about camping? Remember, 90% of your cover is destructable
8. Less than 60FPS... this is a HUGE GRIPE of mine, I feel like I watching 24fps pal movie or something... Play on the PC 9. Installation process even on console was long and frustrating, it took me 45mins from first putting the disc into my xbox to ACTUALLY getting into a game... ORIGIN IS BALLS Play on the PC, Origin is not bad at all. Name one way in which it is worse than Steam. 10. Team ONLY game, playing solo is an exercise in frustration, even with a 3 man squad unless you're a vehicle and by vehicle I mean JET/Heli specialist, your squad will NOT be able to turn the tide, you are GOING TO LOSE Play on the PC AND there's TDM mode, just like in COD. How is that different? 11. 50,000,000 candlewatt flashlight that 'realistically' can BLIND you in BROAD DAYLIGHT at 20+ feet away.... yeah... realism at its best Yeah, that flashlight is balls. F**k, do something about that PLEASE dice!! 12. Sound quality is NOWHERE near the hype, Virtue mentioned even one of our very own BF3 gurus i'll call no names *cough Capn* said a man could walk up yuh back with a TANK and you'd barely notice. Sound is iffy, sometimes it works, most times i can't tell where the enemy is coming from despite having a 5.1 digital headset. My only gripe with sound is hearing enemies approach on foot. Other than that, sound is outstanding. Tanks are clearly audible and that is me with a retarded internet chat wireless headset. 13. Did I mention origin is BALLS? Do you hate it because it ISNT steam?

Don't want to sound like the 'elitist' that I'm often made out to be, but I'll have to agree wholeheartedly with Cap here.
W1nTry, about 80% of the issues you're having would not exist if you were playing the PC version...including the sound.....but I thought you knew that.

Ian Tornay, EA Community Manager for Battlefield 3, has also cleared up many concerns that fans are having with the recent patch. This should also give a good idea as to what will be included in the next Battlefield 3 patch.
So, here’s what I’m seeing.
We’ve made progress that most of you appreciate and the fixes we are making are welcome. That being said, there are still some issues that you’ve been asking about that weren’t included in this patch. These include, but are not limited to:
In-game VOIP Various nerfs including Taclight changes to chat window (size, positioning) Additional changes to squad interface, including the ability to make squads Beep beeps (Which will be implemented, just not in this patch) Squad and in-game interface changes (mostly revolving around the proposed fan-designed interface) EDIT: TV Missles – definitely known (can’t believe i left it off) EDIT: Spectator/Battlerecorder - Another very popular request. (I can’t believe I left it off! I’d like this too)
Please know that these are definitely on our radar as top issues for community requests.
Some of the issues addressed in this patch were brought to our attention by you guys, including the “negative acceleration” issue. We’re committed to continuing to act on your feedback!
Not all of the issues we’ve solved are as impactful or sexy as some of you were hoping for, but I hope everyone appreciates how hard the DICE team has been working.

He's referring to the amount of trinis that are playing on Xbox 360, which are few and far between, BUT issue really is the limit of 4 man squads, its hard to get a full Trini side on the same team...we have a good bit of Trinis that play BF3, but the problem really lies in the party system and getting more than 4 on the same team.

i think im at the point where im gonna purchase a new vid card for my pc and battlefield 3 pc with an xbox controller for windows. The console thing aint cuttin it.
Currently looking into some upgrade options at the moment
Hm PS3 version very playable. It hard but not as hardcore as PC tho. i could only imagine the epicness on PC. Not sure wats goin on with the xbox360 version.
Nothing is wrong with the game on the 360, just the monumental lack of teamwork is getting on my nerves. Example one match where the whole damn team is playing as snipers except for like 2 guys on damavand peak, and no one is trying to go plant the bomb...that's the kind of shit i go tru unless i play wit ppl i know

Does anyone know by chance if i run this game on a rig with this build what kind of performance i can expect.
Amd athlon dual core 2.7ghz 6gb ddr 2 and if i upgrade to a gtx 560ti

That CPU will bottle neck the GPU a lot. It'll play but you won't enjoy it nor will it run smoothly on anything past low-medium. Safest bet is to use an x4 or an i5. The GPU and 6 gigs of ram are gtg tho.

Essentially yea... The 6gb of ddr2 is fine tho. The board should be able to take an AMD x4 no? Because if it can, that may be the only thing alongside the gpu that u need to upgrade. I know Emperor Xavier is running an x4 and a 560 ti and it runs good for him

It apparently can take an x4 but its marked up as "beta" so im not sure what that means. There's a tab marked "CPU Support List" on that very same link =p
Maybe you should look at building a new system. If you can of course. Might be better for you in the long run.

I think those specs would do just fine.
Try it, yuh might like it.
I'm playing the game on a Dual Core 3ghz with a 550TI.
Running it at 1920x1200 on low.
Your rig would be faster than mine. So you should be fine.
If it doesn't run as well as you like, THEN you can consider changing out the motherboard, processor and ram....but not before. (imo)

My advice would honestly be to build a decent rig that will be able to play more and better games and even run BF3 at what if should be run at. If you want now for now then grab the GPU and call it a day.
Mr. Wyatt doing the game a GREAT injustice and his copy should be revoked. Even playing the game at a res that his GPU clearly not handling it well (how many times did your game crash? 10+? The game didn't even want to install on your PC, what does that say? =p lolol)
The man coming from the Xbox. I don't think he wants to play the same game at an even lower quality than what he was originally playing at. At least i know i wouldn't. If the visuals don't matter then by all means.
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: TriniXaeno on November 28, 2011, 06:48:58 PM
The game worked absolutely flawlessly on my machine, without crashing once on any server outside of GATT.
So don't try that at all.
Like I said, his rig will be faster than mine (about 50% faster with a TI 560 vs the 550) so he should be fine.
IF....and that's a big IF....it doesn't run well, he can still upgrade his mobo and cpu then.
It's not like he has anything to lose.
1920x1200 res is probably higher than he will run it on his PC. Remember, I have a 26" monitor. Not sure what size monitor he has.
Either way, the xbox is like 640p - 720p. So any respectable PC resolution will already be a step up from that.
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: VirtueTT on November 28, 2011, 06:59:30 PM
A dual core will severely bottle neck a 560 ti so you are NOT going to get the true performance the card can push with the CPU. Yes granted the game looks good even on low on the PC, it's still not enough. He will still suffer from framing and it honestly takes away from the experience of the game playing it on low.
Let's not even talk about loading times and crashes in between like what you were experiencing. Even Notnice and I experience longer loading times but thats only because we have 4 gigs of RAM.

well to be honest i ran the beta on this current pc wit my 9600gt and it didnt perform that badly i mean apart from some stuttering here and there, a few frozen frames, one or two hics anyway. I wasnt planning to go for a super rig like d ones i see some men here sporting, but if im upgrading im going bold one time
currently on my hitlist phenom II X6 as recommended a gtx 560ti between 8-12gb ram and some fancy ass motherboard

yeah, those specs more than good man.
@ Virtue, I already told you the game ran flawlessly on every battlefield 3 server outside of GATT
So my specs can handle it just fine. His will do even better.
Also, I load before most people since my machine has an SSD. Those solid state drives are the king of fast loading.
that said, I do agree that the game is deserving of a beastly machine so you can turn on all the eye candy. It is gorgeous.
but just trying to prevent sending the message to all gamers that you MUST buy a ridiculously high spec machine to enjoy the game. That is not the case.
My relatively low end rig is running it just fine and enjoying every minute (and that's at 1920x1200 res, which is higher than 1080P)

I believe Wyatt has a flawed look at what the word flawless means.
Quote
Flawless Negative suffix "Less" infers opposite definition to the word "Flaw" 1. to be without fault 2. Perfect 3. lacking defects
Taken from UrbanDictionary.com :sassy:
I tested BF3 on an old system before i upgraded it for a friend - dual core (2.3 ghz), 4 gigs ram and a GTX 560 ti (only thing good about the rig) - It BURNED my eyes and heart to see it. If low FPS, epic framing and constant crashing due to GPU under-utilization was intended for the game then yes, it ran flawlessly, but that is not the case.
I'm really not convinced it was the server since again, you were the ONLY one who was getting trouble. And we all experience random crashes in game, but thats just the game, most of which has been fixed already.
We are not by any means sending a message that you need a ridiculously high end machine to run the game. But to run it PROPERLY and HOW IT SHOULD BE RUN, yes. The components proposed by TnT Ghost, which have been supported by NotNice, Emperor and myself, is a mid range system. Nothing over the top. For the sake of allowing someone to experience the game to the best they can, within a reasonable budget, that is what we've been saying all along.

For about 3000 - 3300 TT (including all shipping/fees) you can go with these much more potent parts:
Asus Z68 (http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-LGA-1155-Motherboards-P8Z68-V/dp/B005BZNE6G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1322575926&sr=8-3) Intel Core i5 - 2400 (http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-2400-Socket-LGA1155-Processor/dp/B004EBUXIA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322576010&sr=8-1) (yes, it's a quad-core) Corsair Vengeance - 8GB (http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-PC3-12800-1600mHz-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B/dp/B004QBUL1C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322576078&sr=8-1)
...and well, the cheapest GTX 560 Ti you can get your hands on.
That's a pretty solid upgrade there that won't break the bank (too much).

that's a lot of gaming bang for your buck right there (re: arc's advice)
@ virtue. I've run the game flawlessly (as defined) outside of the server since @ 1920x1200 res (which is the max my monitor can handle). Not getting the poor performance you described. Maybe my Dual Core 3ghz is a beast? dunno.
I still think the issue is related to the server as it has not happened any where else. Other people were getting the crash out that night also, so it wasn't isolated to my machine alone. It maybe related to when the server is at max capacity in combination with remote tools connected to it.
Just a theory though. We will see what happens at the sweat this weekend.
Someday, we will see the trini flag on this server list below

Here we go: 1. A better party system that shows when the game is about to begin, easier to form squad (console does not have the luxury of battlelog like on PC) 2. Slow as molasses navigation of the dashboard when the game is at the HOME SCREEN? wha? why? 3. Part size of 4 (sorry I think 6-8 is the magic number for me) 4. Better starting weapons that are not so drastically UNDERpowered (the starting sniper is better WITHOUT THE SCOPE imagine that). 5. Better campaign with less overuse of night/contrast/point-light-sources) 6. Inter-squad communication (even xbl has a max of 10 in a party) 7. FAR too much camping and in certain maps spawn killing (console maps are smaller) 8. Less than 60FPS... this is a HUGE GRIPE of mine, I feel like I watching 24fps pal movie or something... 9. Installation process even on console was long and frustrating, it took me 45mins from first putting the disc into my xbox to ACTUALLY getting into a game... ORIGIN IS BALLS 10. Team ONLY game, playing solo is an exercise in frustration, even with a 3 man squad unless you're a vehicle and by vehicle I mean JET/Heli specialist, your squad will NOT be able to turn the tide, you are GOING TO LOSE 11. 50,000,000 candlewatt flashlight that 'realistically' can BLIND you in BROAD DAYLIGHT at 20+ feet away.... yeah... realism at its best 12. Sound quality is NOWHERE near the hype, Virtue mentioned even one of our very own BF3 gurus i'll call no names *cough Capn* said a man could walk up yuh back with a TANK and you'd barely notice. Sound is iffy, sometimes it works, most times i can't tell where the enemy is coming from despite having a 5.1 digital headset. 13. Did I mention origin is BALLS?
agree with everything except 4,7, 8 and 10 4. starting weapons are fine tbh and currently are the only guns which suppressors actually work since its currently bugged.
7. campin not really an issue tbh, plus the IRNV was the anti camp scope but QQers moaned and now the scope which was already terrible as a scope and only saving grace was the IR is now balls.
8. the fps isnt really an issue for me, dont really feel much of a difference
10. Honestly with the lack of any real party system u only need 2 good players to win games, since we have no decent party system i honestly hate having more than 4 SyN on the same team, its just waaay too much overkill and u can clearly see u got put in a game with a bunch of random enemies and no on in a party.
4 of us in game always results in a spawn camp snooze fest , more than that = me just cussin because they cant leave spawn and quit out and thus my spm gets lowered
better party system would mean most of the times we wont always be goin up against 12 random ppl that dont know each other which means better matches. Lack of private matches and/or clan system makes this game a casual pubfest which gets old really fast.
dloading the PS3 patch as i type this, doubt anything party wise has changed despite it being one of the main things ppl want on battlelog forums....hell VOIP isnt even fixed in this patch smh

Is this game worth a buy for the 360? i mean i wanna play it for the multiplayer but i hear i need to download a 1 gig texture pack for it which blows and im also more worried about the lag , i have a 2 mb connection but it feels much slower..... and well i hate lag if my pc didnt run xp and was up to date i could of gotten it but alas
The 1GB texture pack shouldn't take too long with your 2MB connection and lag won't be a problem from my experiences. It's a great game for every platform, you'll have fun either way.

Hi all,
We will release an update to the PC version of BF3 on Dec 6th -- that is, Tuesday morning around 8AM GMT next week. This coincides with an upgrade of many of our central systems which will be down for some hours starting around that time.
It will be both a client update -- approximately 2GB in size -- and a server update.
The client/server combination will be incompatible with older clients/servers. All players will be prompted to download the update once it has been released. All RSP companies will begin upgrading their servers at the same time.
The client update is large because it contains most of the content for Back to Karkand. This is not ideal, so we aim to make potential DLC content in the future as optional downloads.
Bugfixes: Fixed a problem with spawn timer now showing blue border on startup and lost spawn point Fixed a problem where player who joined queuing on End of round got spawn screen stuck on screen, but unable to do anything with it untill next round loaded Fixed a problem where camera would change to 3rd person on killcam when killcam was turned off in server settings Fixed stat references on several dogtags Fixed for surveillance ribbon not counting TUGS Fixed a missing combat area lines on the minimap for Grand Bazaar conquest small Moved a tank spawn in US base on Caspian Border so it would not be destroyed by a falling tree Fixed a problem where placing C4 with the russians soldier was playing US faction VO Fixed a problem where TV guided missiles could be shot into its own helicopter and destroy it Fixed a problem when attempting to fire lock on weapons without a target Tweaked the chat, it should now be a bit easier to read Fixed several vehicles that did not properly shoot rockets and guns towards their predictive sights Fixed the G17 Supressed Laser not working properly Added alternate HUD colors to help colorblinds Added a network interpolation setting. This allows users with good bandwidth reduce latency, but might increase some stuttering. The user can find what works best for his connection by tweaking the slider. Increased the Spawn protection radius on TDM Fixed a problem with smoke on land vehicles, Missiles should now miss more often Fixed a problem where users could end up with IRNV scope in any vehicle Fixed a problem where player dies if vaulting over a ledge and into water while sprinting Fixed several crashes and increased general stability Fixed a problem where the user was unable to revive two players that have the bodies one over the other Fixed so you can assign an axis and use as a digital input. This makes it possible for the player (on pc) to assign one of the sticks on a gameped to be used for throttle/brake. Fixed a problem with the Kill camera acting up when suiciding from parachute Fixed air radar was showing to much. now lasertagged, heatsignature above threshold, enemy missiles and capture points are only visible on air radar Fixed a problem where the game would enter a technical hang if the user pressed pause menu and tilde at the same time Fixed a problem where you could get green flashes on screen You can now reassign cycle weapons Fixed so the weapon zooms automatically after bipod deploy is gone when using zoom toggle Fixed a problem where the parachute would stay stuck in air if the owner was killed
Balance Tweaks: Fixed several weapons so they are properly suppressed and hide the player on the minimap when fired. Tweaked Tactical Light so it is not as blinding over longer ranges. Tweaked the IRNV scope so it is limited to usage only at close range. Reduced heat masking effectiveness of Spec Ops Camo. Fixed a bug where Ammo spec would give additional 40mm grenades instead of Frag spec. Increased the number of additional 40mm grenades from Frag spec. Fixed so AT mines only live for 20 seconds after a player dies to prevent infinite mines. (We want to make a different fix in the future, it’s in JIRA). Increased the Time to Live on sniper caliber rounds to allow extreme distance shots. Fixed several weapon descriptions, calibers, and fire rates. The weapons themselves have not changed. Fixed so the M9 and MP443 pistol can be equipped by the opposing faction when it is unlocked at 100 kills. Fixed Laser Guided Missiles missing their targets if the target is moving too fast. Reduced the effectiveness of Stealth on Air Vehicles. Reduced the effectiveness of Beam Scanning for Jets. Reduced the damage done to Armored Vehicles and Infantry from AA guns. Increased the damage RPGs and Tank shells do to AA vehicles. Slightly decreased the accuracy for all weapons on fully automatic, burst fire is now preferable at mid to long range. Increased the effective accuracy of long bursts for LMGs when using a bipod. Slightly increased the range of the 44magnum bullets. Increased the close range damage of 4.6x30mm and 5.7x28mm bullets. Increased the reload time of the Mortar from 3.5sec to 4.8sec and increased the time it takes before a shell hits the ground. Reduced the aimed accuracy bonus given by a Suppressor for the MP7, P90, PP2000, PP-19, and UMP45. Increased the range and FOV for designating targets with the SOFLAM and vehicle Laser Designators. Decreased the effectiveness of 12g FRAG ammo when equipped on semi-automatic and automatic shotguns. Slightly Increased the power of Fighter Jet Cannons against all vehicle targets, especially Helicopters. Decreased the power of Miniguns against Jets and Helicopters. Increased the power of Stingers against Jets. Flares reload times for Jets and Helicopter Gunners have been increased. Tweaked the AN94 so its burst fire better conveys the real world advantage offered by this weapon. Added Single Shot to the AN94 as an available fire mode. Slightly increased the recoil on the M416 and removed the Burst Fire mode (this weapon incorrectly had burst fire, which was not authentic). Tweaked the spawns for TDM on Kharg Island, Grand Bazaar, Caspian Border, Seine Crossing, Operation Firestorm, Damavand Peak and Noshahar Canals Moved a tank spawn in US base on Caspian Border so it would not be destroyed by a falling tree Tweaked the Gas station Capture area on Conquest on Caspian Border Tweaked the max vehicle height on Noshahar Canals
Also, it will once again be possible to reduce the number of players required to start a round to 1 both in ranked and unranked mode. We changed it back after getting a lot of negative feedback from both individuals and the RSP companies.
Our plan is to introduce a warm-up mode, where players can move about and play the game, but with scoring disabled; then, when the number of players goes above the threshold -- that's when the real round starts.

Good sweat last night fellas.
Serious war.
Was good to see Prowl make a showing. Old School Soldiers rising up from the woodwork
Teknoman from JadeFalcon supposed to join us as well. He's been busy playing MW3 but has a copy of BF3 sitting on his desk waiting to be cracked open.
When he heard about the sweat, he said "Hell....it's about time" (not exact words) lol
Boom Bang.
I ain't go lie. The difference it makes playing with a proper team yes. Points galore. You could really level up in one match with the ridiculous scores we had at the end of some of those games last night.
crazy (the adjective not the player)

@guy who was wondering if its a good buy for 360....if u prepared to deal with the party system breaking u up and sending u on different teams and got no issue playing only in a party of 4 then go for it, the game has potential to be great but misses the mark on key areas.

bug fixes looking real good, i see a lot of good things for the SOFLAM, Tanks and RPGs damage, increase of damage rate on fully automatic firing, which is good, and more effectiveness on long range burst fire shots.. read more summirized the juicy parts.. or and it specifically sates that the tactical light has decrease in brightness from long ranges.!! =[PT]=

Last night was like shooting / resurrecting fish in a barrel.
Felt like a Lineage 2 RPG grind. Just hacking away senselessly to amass points. lol
I increased two ranks cause of that carnage yes, so not complaining.
Still, would like a more "battlefield" experience man. That was like duck hunt with 3d graphics.
yeah that map server we was on was crazy.. but as u can see the mood these days of the guys we want kills, we kinda tired from running around.. don't worry we will be back on that bs soon

hahhaa @ vibs
We get real green verbs in mumble last night yes. Trinimoses put down some classics.
HYMC @ awesome
I'll do some digging up behind the scenes and see what's up.
Been playing around with Origin/Battlelog and it is pretty comprehensive as well.
A BIG HEADS UP.
The fix I posted above has stopped the "out of memory" crash on Battlefield 3. It takes 5 seconds to do and simply increases the virtual memory space that the game can access.
Played whole of last night with not a single black screen / mouse cursor only issue.
Highly recommended.

Changes i have notice (notnice..lol) to BL so far 1. When searching for a server a Country's Flag is now displayed. 2. I have notice that all my Co-op weapons are now unlocked. 3.An Assignments tab is now displayed and when selected, a BF3 with Back to Karkand is shown.. along with a stay frosty advertisement. 4.new quick menu buttons is displayed to the top right hand corner such as, edit,profile,dogtags,status,assignments. 5. i don't know if this is new but it is to me.. there is now a Co-op leaderboard.. lawd dice u all know how to make things competitive among friends. 6. one can now jump to the different statistics of the leaderboads options for both co-op and multiplayer via a drop down menu.
here is a link explaining the new tab called "Assignments" it also displays the 10 new weapons along with the new vehicles and maps!!! http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/about/game/back-to-karkand/

doh worry bro when u reach Colonel stars its 230k for every level up (so far).. and levelling up is easy still just not that fast.. but the trick is to play with all the classes or at least 3 to get the service stars for each class(that;s 10k per class).. as well as play with a wide range of weapons to get 2k per weapon for the service stars... then u have factors like medals... which u will obtain a lot off.. my advice is to watch BL and BFstats and see what medal, weapon service star and kit service star u can get next and do work towards it accordingly. and u will level up very quickly... oh and don't be afraid to abuse ur favourite servers.. especially those with high tickets. =[PT]= EPICNESS!!!

^ Oldskillful, fraps works just fine for screenshots, but when it comes to recording games, fraps only allows you to record the current resolution you're playing at or half. If you want a program with better recording capabilities and takes screenshots i would recommend looking into 'Dxtory'. It's a better allround program in my opinion.

Ok for all d jet guru's out dere, i notice some flying that pisses me off but makes me wonder at the same time how they they do it. You're flying behind someone trying to shoot them down but they just seem to turn and turn and jus freaking turn avoiding heat seekers and the guns, the part that really frustrates me is when they do it in slow motion seemingly like they're driving a car on slow doing 360 turns.
The stupid thing is that i tried it and hit the ground like a brick as my jet loses thrust i go down obviously so why when im tying to shoot them down they don't seem to crash, also unless i miss something or have really bad aim they can take down my jet easily with a turret, even when im twisting and turning. The only way i can take down jets easily is with the heli's

The trick is to slow down while turning. After a second or two, you'll see the nose move 'faster' and comes around much quicker than if you maintain constant speed. It's much easier to do with a gamepad. Don't slow down too much though, or you'll stall, and literally 'drop like a brick' as you said.
Many players don't slow down, so it allows me to usually get behind them and hose their dorsal area with cannon fire.
Works about 70-80% of the time. That 'other 20%' includes players like myself, Triniblocker, Notnice, and WarOne, who know all the tricks. :happy0203:

Guys the GATT server is setup to run B2K with 600 tickets
Nice... now we sit and wait to see if it fills up? Or maybe we have to jump start it for ourselves.
It just occurred to me that our server went up on what, the 2nd or 3rd day BF3 was out right? That i think accounted for a lot of the traffic it received, because there were less servers at there time. I looked at my list of fav servers and realized the ones i marked within the 1st week or 2 are now dead, just like ours.. May be something to consider as well

Did you buy the map pack? If memory serves me right, you have the normal edition of BF3 unlike us who pre-ordered the limited edition, we have the content at no extra cost. Those who bought it after the launch have to pay $15 USD for the maps

you don't have the map pack because it doesn't show the B2K next to Enlisted on your profile.So you got to go buy it
Must be some sort of origin glitch, because I did since this morning before I left for work

Post by: TriniXaeno on December 14, 2011, 08:36:40 AM
Just as a reminder for anyone having trouble with Battlefield 3.
This one line fix, stopped my crashing (again)
Apparently, in installing the new Graphics Card (ATI 6970) and updating drivers, windows lost the setting that this one line command changed on my PC.
Ran the command again and voila, crashing has magically vanished
Strange that it crashes saying out of memory on a 1gb card and recommends using a video card with at least 512mb
So apparently the link is dead:
Here is the instructions:
1) Prepare the operating system to be able to use beyond 2GB address space with a userva of 2.5GB (only 32 bit OS's need to do this): I am purposely using only 2500 for userva for specific reasons and any more will likely not be needed, as a result the kernel will have plenty of space to play in.
Windows 7/Windows Vista * In Windows 7/Vista go to Start menu. Go to Accessories. Locate the command prompt shortcut and hover mouse over it. Right Click on the shortcut then select Run as Administrator. * In the command prompt type this exactly: bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2500. Then hit enter. * Make sure you get a message back confirming the change was made. To verify the entry is there you can type just bcdedit, hit enter, and you should see the entry now listed. * Then close the command prompt. You just told Vista to increase user virtual address (userva) space to 2500MB. * Changes take effect on reboot but don't reboot yet.
SUMMARY We extended the user virtual address space Vista and 7 to 2500MB, so now applications can utilize up to that much if they are set to be Large Address Aware. While some 32 bit games/applications are set, Battlefield 3 is not.
2) Now reboot the PC because Windows needs to set the userva at 2500 which only happens after startup.
If you skip any step it will not work. When you have rebooted you should be good to go. Run the game as normal with the original game shortcut.
TO UNDO THE CHANGES For Vista/W7 32 Open command prompt as administrator and type: bcdedit /deletevalue increaseuserva. That deletes the entry. Reboot and you are back to normal.
Apparently there is a video for the fix as well:
http://youtu.be/tLMSth6R6TU
Only an issue on systems running 32bit windows (Like I do)

x10000.. the only thing that concerns me is kills per weapon, if a man has like over 300 kills with most weapons per kit and his KDR is a positive one.. yeah tops off ur a well rounded player... high knife kills and sniper kills yeah man u get hats off, but when u over kill the exploits and stat pad.. na man i will see ur real game play when u play in other maps.. it really shows up.. but we can't be mad cause we know who is who, at the end of the day we are all good in our own way.. unless ur name is notnice, cptawesome,warone,triniblocker,virture and shivs, in that order.. these are the men who really stand out in FPS games i always map myself after these players cause there skill level is beyond the expect gameplay.

So I finally finished the campaign and I must admit it was pretty decent. I actually don't see anything wrong with it. The storyline was fine, really don't see what people were complaining about.
Now to try and get past the 3rd co-op mission... I've done it at least 10 times now and every single time, we either die, game crashes or it bugs out. I am almost convinced that I'm not supposed to beat the co-op missions...

It's just that the majority of us play BF3 on the PC Mr. Ghost. But i don't see how that stops you from engaging in the conversation from what is posted in the thread just because you play on console :)

I could never understand why some of these shots register as a hit when clearly they miss, sometimes by more than 2 meters!
I've had my RPG's pass between the main rotor and fuselage (inches above the engine), through the main rotor, through one side of the landing skid, through the tail rotor and more than once in BF3 had an RPG hit the fuselage directly and explode without even getting a hitmarker. :/

I would seriously hate to play against that guy, to me it's offensive for me to be zooming past in my heli and get hit with an rpg, it happens to me once or twice followed an intense nerd rage. But it still looks cool maybe i'd try it out....

Thats all DICE has to do with this game to keep it alive. New content. To build a new BF wouldn't be a good move imo. Heck even building "BF 2143" ontop of BF3 i think is brilliant. Its going to use the same engine so they should jus treat it like how they did Vietnam for BC2

A completely new game tho? As diehard as some fans may be, perhaps an expansion or some bess content would prove more profitable. Developing and advertising a completely new game is a lot of work especially after such a long and hard campaign for BF3. Besides, how much better can it get? Am i wrong?
Did they mention what the new developers were hired to do specifically? "Project" doesn't imply new game to me.
Quite honestly, i will not buy a completely new BF game when i have BF3. Expansion yes, new content yes, but an entirely new game. No

SPAS-12: semi automatic or pump action shotgun (has 2 version)
ACW-R: Most likely the Magpul ACR, since it has an altered name similar to the magpul PDW-R, Guessing that they had similar issues with copyrights would explain the name changes. PDW-R = PDR, ACW-R = ACR
L86A1 LSW= british light support weapon based on the SA80 platform
LSAT= Lighter, more advanced version of the M249 SAW. Firing lighter ammunition, as well as being 8.3lbs lighter than its counter part.
MTAR21= The Carbine little brother of the Israeli Tavor 21 assault rifle
SCAR-L, = interesting addition since the SCAR-H CQC is already in the game, and the military has no plans to use the SCAR-L. But whatever. Anyways its the 5.56 lightweight cousin of the Mk.17 SCAR-H

ACW-R is the PDW/Compact version of the ACR. ACR =/= ACW-R, 2 different variations (http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y357/Pap0rHaxx/ACRcompact.jpg)
Anyway Tournament video, from a forum organised tournament (1st of many) This was our quarter-final match against another clan Devils Reyects 12v12 CQ, won 2-0, best ever games ive played on this game since launch.
I think his video-card is 3 slots wide, so it might be physically impossible to do SLI.
Correct me if I'm wrong Mez
SwiftKeyed from my Samsung Galaxy S2 with Tapatalk
Nah i think its 2 slots. His board is supposed to support both SLI and Xfire though, according to the tech specs. I think his case might just be too small as well as the PSU.
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: Mez on March 19, 2012, 03:48:44 PM
I think because of the Board layout and something else i remember thinking it couldnt SLI. In any case, i have a year or two before I wanna SLI 3gig 580 and 12 gigs of ram holding me down till after the world ends.

some epic spawn camping there.. not impressed. His voice is also putting me to sleep.
Additionally, don't like the laser pointer, on any gun..
Its not for you to like the guys voice ( queer? ) nor the shooting he is doing ( it is TDM you should know how that goes ) but for you to just see the config man.. orr gorm!!
Laser pointer works WELL for hip firing if you dont always want to aim down the sight. You can turn the laser/tactical light on/off. You know that right bro?

Title: Re: Battlefield 3 Patch Notes
Post by: Notnice on March 23, 2012, 04:59:08 PM
FIXES FOR PC SERVER OPERATION - Having the same map occur multiple times in the maplist now works properly - If adding a new map to the servers maplist after a clear and then running “mapList.runNextRound” the server will ignore any remaining rounds on the map that it still run since before the clear and move to the new first map in the list. The server will now have reset the current rounds per map and run the map in the list for the number of rounds stated when adding the map. - Maplist can contain up to 1000 entries now - mapList.list will return at most 100 entries. To get the entire list, perform mapList.list repeatedly with increasing offsets (like banList.list)
GENERAL GAMEPLAY FIXES -Players should no longer take fall damage from short falls. -Players now get up from Prone slightly faster, allowing better odds of getting away from a grenade or threat when prone. -Fixed some situations that would unintentionally make a player unrevivable. -Reduced the black screen fade in time on spawn. The fade is still necessary for properly streaming in loading content at spawn, but it has been substantially reduced. -Increased the spawn protection time from 1sec to 2sec. The protection will still be immediately canceled as soon as the player moves or shoots. -Spawn protection will no longer be canceled by the player looking around. -Increased the speed at which a player regains accuracy when aiming after moving for a more responsive experience. Firing before fully zoomed will still result inaccurate fire. -Increased the inaccuracy and recoil added when a player is fully suppressed. -Shotgun Buck and Flechette rounds now have a less suppressive effect at medium to long range. -Tweaked the damage levels of Buck and Flechette rounds to balance them with other weapons. -Improved the suppression of the .44 magnum, .357 magnum, and the 5.8x42mm DAP88 rounds from the Type88 sniper. -Attempting to Crouch (like Prone) will now properly interrupt Sprint. -Increased the effectiveness of Suppression Resist Specialization. -Parachutes now respond to turn and throttle inputs more quickly. -Switching from primary weapons to sidearms and back now takes less time. -Increased the effectiveness of explosive resistance. -Tweaked bipod deploy settings so players can no longer deploy a bipod in places higher than chin level. -The bipod should now be more reliable when deploying on top of sloped objects like cars and rocks. -Fixed several issues with vaulting objects, especially for thin railings. -The Knife now only takes two swipes to kill when attacking from a position where a takedown is not possible. -CRAM weapons on Carriers now count towards stationary weapon awards.
A lot more fixes on that link on top.

If you read through those 407 "reviews" you will realize those people have no idea
how to open or operate a browser or to install a game or heck even operate a computer
and the ones that do complained about origin in the earlies but that's all fixed now
and the rest are just CODies.....trying to justify why they wasted 60 dollars on MW2 with better graphics......

Battlefield 3 has its technical issues, I myself have experienced them.
But to be honest you would be hard pressed to find a better First Person Multiplayer based shooter, that encompasses, beautiful graphics, vehicles en masse, countless weaponry, and great teamplay. There is really nothing else out like it. It is the best online shooter out period. (for pc)

Read ANY EULA and you'll see the same damn thing. Lol, biggest lie in the world "I have read the Terms and Conditions" :happy0203:
The browser is actually is a neat concept once u get used to it. You can also get Battlelog apps on your phone to keep track of your stats, msg your friends and see who's playing so you could run home and play. Makes things a lot easier to manage rather than moving around the menus in game, which, would have probably been the same thing if it was built into the game.
In terms of gameplay aspect, after playing COD since the 1st one, I can't go back. BUT here's the draw back to BF3, if you play alone, you die alone. I know Limit, Ipix and Fraet have the game and some others from the Team Speak server play but not sure how often anymore. These guys here play all the time, u'll jus have to get acquainted with them. I warn you, do not play this game expecting a COD or any sort of COD experience, any other shooter for that matter. If you haven't played any BF games before, it'll take some gettin used to. Borrow an account from a friend, download it, play a little and see if you like it. That's my best suggestion.

Post by: Agokillya on March 28, 2012, 02:48:22 PM
patch is both good and bad tbh its good the attachments got tweaked that way every good player wont all be running the same setup
pretty retarded flares distract laser guided missiles now, basically makes ECM useless which makes the CITV + Guided combo on tanks useless now probably just better off rolling canister shells and having a squad all roll stingers to counter choppers now.
from what my chopper pilot told me the havoc handles much better now and is comparable to the viper finally and not just a pos. Jet pilots however complaining how dogfights are basically long circle jerks now as it takes forever to disable someone but Air to ground is better
from playing with the guns foregrip is now useless imo and so is suppressor...unless its a cqc map otherwise Heavy Barrel (which got buffed btw) or Flash Suppressor with nothing on the grip slot works best for having lowest recoil adding the foregrip to that just negates the bonuses provided by the heavy barrel/flash suppressor
I personally using the heavy barrel as it increases the max damage range, scar + heavy barrel now has brought back the scar to being a worthy gun now.

Did you see the changelog? It is massive, nearly a whole new game.
@ vice, ECM is still very useful as it totally breaks a laser lock whereas flares just distract an incoming missile.
I vex they touch my lovely pretty, beautiful elegant QBB man wtf!!!!!!!
Thank GOD them attack choppers (esp the havoc) get buffed. Almost totally useless unless you are a godlike pilot the way it was before.
Another sucky thing is that AGM missiles no longer work on air targets. Me and my little bird would learn to adapt though.

See your own ping for one
The bullet hit markers actually mean DAMAGE has been done to the enemy.
The game play is really smooth and I know they did work to the environment.
Weapons feel more realistic now. Especially the usas and the sniper rifle I used this morning. It isnt and unreal face off. Better man wins, hands down.
We can now CREATE our OWN squads. This morning emperor and notnicett was like WTF .. It badass.
Revive allows you to getup right AWAY DAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And killcam/spawn time has been GREATLY improved.
Well done DICE. Bring the rain baby! :sassy:

Of course, this information is still unofficial until proven official by an announcement from EA or DICE.
According to this sheet, a one-time-fee of $49.99/4000 Microsoft Points will net you all five Battlefield 3 expansion packs including Back to Karkand, Close Quarters, Armored Kill, Aftermath and End Game. It will be available for purchase on June 4th, 2012 across all platforms.
Included in these five expansions are 20 maps, 20 new weapons, 10+ new vehicles, 4 new game modes, 30+ Assignments and 20+ new dog tags.
The list goes on:
2 weeks early access to all future Battlefield 3 expansion packs starting with Battlefield 3: Close Quarters. Unique in-game knife Unique in-game dog tags 10+ unique soldier camos Unique weapon camos Stats reset feature 10+ unique Platoon emblem decals Increased Platoon emblem layers Server queue priority Save up to five of your favorite Battlefield Reports 5+ unique Assignments Exclusive events Exclusive Double XP weekends Exclusive videos Strategy guides Additional bonus content
What bull$hit EA and DICE getting at?? :shakehead:

The server queue thing is a bit over the top IMO. Should be first come first serve :/ Other than that, it looks to be a pretty solid deal to me.

I agree, especially since close quarters, armored kill, and end game would add up to about $50US after tax anyway, you would jus get more for ya money
A next thing is the weapon unlocks. So since it's 20 new weapons but includes B2K, does that mean that we are only getting 10 new guns in CQ and then nothing else in the other 3 expansions? If so, this would be very disappointing.

Yeah it is a really good deal. Queue priority aside, I'll buy in a heartbeat. If they keep that in and continue down the CoD route, this game might be hitting my shelf way sooner than I expected.

Really a good buy if you were planning to buy all the DLC. Queue priority? GG EA, way to b*tchslap fans who can't afford to buy premium for whatever reason, GG. This is the only thing I really hate about Premium. Double XP events, stats reset and the other little additions should be available to all. No need to restrict it, the content alone is worth the $50. :protest:
Aye. U have other priorities. Calm down. Bf3 ain't going no where

i fine 32-48 would be good since they arent actually small maps, they jus basically maps based of the close quarter like combat in the center of grand bazaar and the subways in metro, but with more flanking routes to avoid choke points like metro

Fast pace, no rest, no sit and wait. just keep going. love it!
conquest domination is full of WIN!.. you go to capture a flag. and it does so in the time u take to reload a weapon, during that time expect a full squad to come for yo ass..
win win win

Phenom II x6...get one.
Still better than Bulldozer and Vishera (unless you wanna overclock them to the max and suck up a lot of electricity in the process JUST to slightly edge out the PII x6).
Or go Intel 3570k/Z77 board.

no intel especially that expensive 3570k, the most stressful thing this system wud be doing is running stuff like maxon studio 4d /unreal engine /unity that kinda thing, also trying to remain in the 90-110 price range

Ok no intel then.
I still recommend the Phenom II x6 though.
But if u still keeping those quads as your choices i'd say the 965 cpu would be the better of the two. Highly suggest you get the 125w too as the 140w runs a bit hot and uses a lil too much electricity.
Title: Re: Battlefield 3
Post by: TriniXaeno on November 22, 2012, 10:36:38 AM
The 3570 is about US$219
Not really that expensive in the scheme of things but I understand where you're coming from. You need to draw the line with these processor prices. Could get real out of hand.
Personally made a pledge many many moons ago not to buy a CPU over US$300 on principle. Regardless of how sweetly it is marketed by Intel. lol
I did slightly break that pledge with this I7 2600K currently running in Anya. Cost US$318.00
However, it did come with a digital copy of Battlefield 3 (then worth about us$49.99) so when you take that into consideration, the price was within budget.

i'll keep an eye out for the x6 during cyber monday to see what combo i can get with it, and @wyatt if i didn't have my certifications to pay for that wud have been my first choice cuz i wanted to go intel this time. Nevertheless i'm using a dual core 5200+ @2.7Ghz right now so anyone of those quads to me right now is futuristic compared to my current steup.

Two words... Air. Superiority. I guess we can put the 'which franchise is better' argument to rest now.....
The bikes are put to great use in all these maps, with lots of insane jumps. Wait for the inevitable flood of gameplay videos. :laughing7:
...and of course, Air Superiority mode is suitably epic. Let me stress on the word 'Superiority'...because all the players here KNOW how to fly. Don't even bother if you can't tell the difference between an aileron and an elevator. :laughing7:
So, here we are...18 months later. What have we learned?
That overall...Battlefield 3 is hands-down THE best, THE pinnacle, THE apex-predator of online multiplayer warfare. Truly all-aspect in scope, engagement, and just goddamned FUN to play.
You will not find another online MP shooter that can truly compete with the wide gamut of gameplay options on offer from this title. DICE has shown the entire industry how it's supposed to be done. The bar has well and truly been raised. I shudder to think of the creativity and effort required to craft Battlefield 4. I really think DICE should have given this game more time to age gracefully before beginning development on BF4.
So now my BF3 install folder is a whopping THIRTY-THREE gigabytes, but it's 33 of the sweetest GB ever. :)
Feel free to disagree with me of course. :)
