goddamn the game is awesome, and i know it's a beta, but it's got so many glitches and bugs, snipers should be a little bit stronger, because come on, headshot not 1 shot kill??

There is indeed alot of glitches atm.. But that's what the Beta is for.. So the players can give DICE some feedback.

Played alot on xbox from 27th till yesterday.. Tried the beta on the PC today on ultra settings.. My god what a graphic boost from console. And it's running so much more smooth than the console.
Eitherway.. still getting it for PC and console.

Beta = limited server bandwith, hence the connection issues.

Gameplay is miles ahead of any shooter. Haven't had any trouble with snipers... Double tap is your friend. Later recon lvls get smg secondary...

I can currently run ultra at around 30-40 fps even though I just overclocked my gfx card a little.. should overclock my CPU but have no idea how to do that.. Currently playing in high settings at 60-70 fps.

About my pc.
Yeah I bought this gaming rig like 2 month's ago just for this game.

Currently have a 6-core processor, 16gb RAM, amd hd 6950 2gb gfx card and so on :) Shame though that the motherboard doesn't support Crossfire. Give 2 gfx cards lol

oh I won't be able to play BF3 because I'll be banned!

Right I've found a glitch

I was laying down on the platform station trying defend B in the metro right after the first outdoor part yeh! This guy who was on the enemy team was shooting at me for a while now and I didn't notice it! I didn't loose health while he was shooting at me! I thought it was my mate who was randomly shooting at me since I didn't loose any health so I thought nothing of it. I then realise it was an enemy shooting at me so I got up quickly and killed them!

Now He's getting me banned from the real game because of a glitch I did not notice about!

Is that Pathetic or not? actually banning some1 that wasn't my fault! Thts so Pathetic!

Battlefield is hard regardless if you don't have a decent squad. So, since the beta is having trouble keeping squads matched up its tough. I'm trying to not play the hell out of the beta, i always have done that then you always have one map on release day that you're already SICK of.

Haven't experienced a lot of bugs,expect for the groundfalling,which happened maybe like 3 times and the random one-hitting.
Also about the graphics settings; there are barely any differences between the settings. It doesnt matter if I'm playing on low or high,my gpu usage is always about 90%,so these will propably be not the final graphics.

btw, 16gig ram is such overkill haha

I atleast thought there were ome difference in the graphics from xbox to pc. Realized later that the ultra graphics arent in the beta. So high and ultra is the same. I still though think this game will blow my mind away when it's released.. even though there's ALOT of hate on the battlelog/BF3 forums atm. Got some news that the beta is over a month old version of the game, and that this beta's main purpose is to test the new back end dedicated server structure etc (which I kinda already knew) http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2011/10/03/battlefield-3-open-beta-update-2.aspx?CommentPosted=true#commentmessage

btw the 16gb ram was included with the pc :) It said on the company site that 8bg was included. But later found out that it had 16bg in it :P

I have mix feelings about the battlelog. Sure it might be convinent.. but I would like it even more if there ALSO was an in-game server browser/campaign/co-op option as well as battlelog.. Imagine if your internet goes down for some reason, or battlelog for the matter.. how would you play offline then I ask? :P
I've been looking around the battlelog forums a bit and I found a brilliant thread for feedback. Lets hope DICE takes alot of these suggestions into consideration.

Pretty much agree more or less on everything. Warning though.. it's a wall of text

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2826564925954122900/1/

SK8ERatWAR. The CB map was a passworded server which only a few random/selected players could play.. How ever the password got out quickly and the servers where flooded.
I never got the chance to play it.. which I guess is good because I don't wanna ruin my reactions when the full game is finally out.

The CB servers are now down like maqqot said.

the only bad thing about BF3 on consoles (imo graphics arent nearly as important as fun gameplay) is that the servers are going to be restricted to having games of 24 to maybe 32 players. The pc will probably be in the 64 - 128 range.

It has been already confirmed that PC will support up to 64 players.

I know, PC graphs are better, but c'mon some of us can't afford a PC upgrade for BF3 usage; console bf3 is playable as hell.

You're just barely in the 64bit range. Adobe cs5.1 is minimum 4 gigs. I can happily alt-tab between premiere, after effects, photoshop, and bridge. I got 1gig on the gfx card and she still struggles with 1080p footage once I get over approx 2min on the timeline. Remember though this is on a laptop so my 8gig offsets the poor performance of mobility series gfx cards.

But 16gig on a gaming rig is far from overkill especially when online gaming is usually launched from a background program/task such as your internet browse or a game manager such as steam.

I like how operation metro is setup in 3 sort of sections, like 3 maps in one, all very different. Nobody really dominates. I sniper the first base, shotgun the second smg the third and stealth AR the last, I hope a lot of the maps are set up this way

I'm an old BF fan. Played BF since the first game BF1942. And I want bigger maps for conquest.. I'm bored of Rush and the urban warfare, especially Metro.
I want huge maps this time, and I'm glad DICE announced that CB aint their biggest map so far.

But I really can't wait for Back to Karkand remake.. Loved that map in BF2 and I can't wait to test it out in BF3 style.

Indeed. I liked Rush in BC2 (didn't play BC1).. but after like 4-6 month's I sorta got bored of it and when back to the old roots and jumped on conquest, even squad death match was more fun than rush.

Yeah no idea how much they will trim down the console maps. It was kinda dull playing conquest in BC2 on console with only 24 players.. took ages to find someone.. Hence why I'm glad I bought me a new pc that can handle newer games such as BF3.

It's funny you mention that, and I totally agree. The field of view and depth is scarce. Can use a lot of work graphically, but the Beta thats going on right now is for server purposes. And the video you linked is Pre-Alpha Footage. I dont wanna have to spell it out now, quite clear Alpha is before beta. SO THAT MEANS. the degradation in the graphics. DID they fix it. Or was the video touched up. Are they going to fix it, or did they decide(realize) its better off to differentiate between scope's and hologram red dot etc... depth of view. either or I gaurantee the Gfx will be a lot better. If not, what can ya do....It's EA.


edit-still the best FPS so far.

Well,you always gotta remember that this kind of footage is recorded with two GTX 580's. And most of us probably dont have two GTX 580s in our PCs...not to mention consoles;so far away from that.
Also,I guess that the beta graphics are turned down anyway to keep the downoload file as small as possible...just my guess at that

News about BF3 on xbox. Will have better graphics than PS3 (if you want to)


Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360 Contains Hi-Res Textures on 2nd Disc

GamerZines confirmed with Battlefield 3 producer Patrick Liu that the Xbox 360 version of the game will have the ability to stream higher resolution textures. These higher resolution textures will be on the game's second disc and is a voluntary install. Thanks BF Games.

The Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3 will let users stream higher resolution textures by installing content found on the game's second disc, DICE has revealed.

"There's a voluntary install on the 360," said Battlefield 3 producer Patrick Liu speaking to GamerZines yesterday.

"I think Rage did it as well, where you can install content to stream higher res textures.

"We're pushing that technology to the limit, and compared to our competitors, I would argue that we're the best looking game."

According to Liu, the game's single-player, co-op and multiplayer are also split up between the two discs, although he wouldn't confirm which modes are present on which disc.

It's not yet known whether the PS3 version of Battlefield 3 will also include the same hi-res textures on the Blu-ray disc.

We went hands-on with both versions of the game yesterday, and in terms of visuals, the Xbox 360 version certainly took the edge over the PS3 version.

Squad management systems will be introduced to help players control what squad they're in along with other features: creating squads prior to launching Battlefield 3, squad member retainment (staying in the same squad when continuing into other matches, locking squads, inviting squad members, kicking squad members, and muting the annoying ones.

2. Regarding additional Open Beta content and fixes/patches for consoles, including PlayStation 3 issues with chat and party systems.
DICE is focusing their efforts towards the final release of the game, we can all agree that this is a better idea. "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?
A lot of issues will be fixed, for a detailed explanation look here.

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 Metro
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. It could be this glitch or that the Battlefield 3 player is simply mistaken.

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 Battlefield 3 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 for BF3.

You start over thank god. Also I really hope DICE/EA removes the K/D ratio.. I don't want this to become another CoD where every kid is arguing that they're better because of higher K/D.

Playing for K/D = CoD
Playing the objective = BF

Much rather have 2 kills - 20 death but win the objective and win the round, instead of loosing but having high K/D.

You Will Want To Install Battlefield 3's "Optional" HD Texture Pack

Clarification: The optional HD textures are included on a second disk. The original story did not state this and we had some questions in the comments section regarding this.

Battlefield 3 is less than one week away and we still don't have solid details on the optional "high resolution texture pack" that was unveiled just a few short weeks ago. During a Battlefield 3 event in London executive producer. Patrick Bach, spoke about the texture pack.

The texture pack is the same technology used on the Playstation 3 and PC versions of the game. At its core the engine makes use of streaming textures. The reason for the optional installation should be obvious: even though all current Xbox 360 models ship with a hard drive developers must continue to design their games for the outdated core model from 2005.

So what will the difference be between these two texture packs? According to Bach without the texture pack you will be playing a "standard definition" version of Battlefield 3. That is quite the difference, let's hope they mention the optional install on the front or back of the game's case. If not, we're pretty sure a lot of people will be complaining about the visual quality of Battlefield 3 on the Xbox 360 without even knowing there is an option to install additional textures.

"The thing with the 360 is that you need to be able to give consumers a game where you don't have to install it on a hard drive, because there are 360s without a hard drive. So we need to give you the option of installing it, rather than just demanding it. You could call it a 'standard-def' version for the 360 if you don't have a hard-drive."

..Aside from the pop-up and buggy spawning of enemies and their glitchy animations.
Its kind of boring at times; lots of context sensitive button promts and whatnot.. The campaign is more a display of "look at what we can do with particle effects and lighting" than it is a compelling story or series of memorable moments.
Minor gripes about the singleplayer are no big deal considering how good the multiplayer portion is--thats where the real bread and butter is at.

madsser
10-26-2011, 03:10 PM
OK!
Just got done playing through the 6½ hour campaign, and right now. I feel kind of disappointed. I was really expecting more.
GUNNA TRY TO KEEP IT SPOILER FREE
OK!
If you've played MoH, BFBC1/2, you know that DICE are very good at making very good looking games. You probably also know that, DICE aren't that good at making amazing singleplayer campaings. (Sorry if anyone liked any of those games, I personally hated them)
I will say though, to DICE, bravo. I liked the way it was setup. No spoilers here so I'll just leave it at that.
And i will say, it was fun running through houses killing arabs, iraqi's whatever.
And the game looked beautiful all the way through. I mean, the lighting. No one's like DICE when it comes to lighting. Their Frostbite 2 engine is head and shoulders beyond anything I've seen in a LONG time. I'd say it looks better than Crysis2.

Back to the campaign.
It just lacks entertainment. It lacks fun(not saying it wasn't fun, just, I was expecting more). Can't really put my finger on it though.
It just felt like every other FPS shooter I've ever played. Don't know why I thought it was going to be different?

But I'll stick with my first impression of the game and leave you with that. I've yet to dig into the Co-Op and multiplayer fun, which were, of course why i got the game.

The campaign's great, but not different from any other war shooter out there. It has an OK story, with some amazing voice acting in there. It's beautiful, and the way they present it was great.

It's a 7.5/10 from me. I guess my expectations were too high. :/

Roccityroller
10-26-2011, 04:01 PM
Dice and the Battlefield franchise in general, aren't known for their multiplayer prowess. If you're buying a shooter for the SP campaign, BF is NOT your best choice. That being said, I'm enjoying this more than i have the COD SP campaigns, maybe cuz i DON'T know what's going on.

It's better than most SP campaigns (I'm looking at you, Black Ops), but nothing special, but i don't think any of us expected it to be. I look at SP in BF like i do any other FPS game; its just a good way to learn weapons, game mechanics, vehicles, and (to some extent) controls to better your online play.

Battlefield WILL offer the best MP experience you've ever had on a FPS. I can tell you that from the few games i played.

The_Toez Origin, Seanne1986 xbox fellas..

Gotta say I find the MP quite entertaining.. But my god some maps are lazy and lame as fuck! Metro CQ is the worst CQ map I have ever seen in my bf life... It's smaller (YES SMALLER!) than Metro on Rush, 3 flags.. get the second flag first and you win.. Then it's just a camp fest with absolutely no flanking routes what so ever lol..
Siene Crossing feels like a MoH map, and Damavand Peak's 2 middle flags is a camp fest because they are in the mountain where it's narrow, because there are narrow corridors, you tend to get stuck with other team players, and then get blown away by an enemy engineer getting a 5 kill rocket.

The rest of the maps are enjoyable so far.. but if they have fucked up back to karkand maps.. then I will be pissed off, because them maps where my favourite maps in BF2.

Edit: fixed typos.. was clearly super tired when wrighting this

love close quarters...so much fun to rage with horrible gunmaster setups and terrifying bad spawnsystem...so much fun to grab your pdw and play ninja or pick up M60 and mow down the enemy team

WILL love armored kill...coming next month...lot of tank action...i love tanks...tanks are my strongest part in this game...so much fun to shoot down enemy little birds with your t90 main cannon in Noshahr Canals.

I've played it online over 600 hours and I still feel to play it. Never play it alone...i don't feel right when playing it alone...it's meant to be played with your amigos.

U've heard wrong, very occassionally I get the odd lag, but it's nothing compared to MW3

I rarely get lag, almost never, and remember I'm from Argentina south america, and I play in South US servers (they work just perfect).

Bought premium cause I cba paying for 2 dlc's. So gotten back to it a little again. Pretty boring playing alone though.
