Battlefield 3: New Video

The game really likes Quad Cores, and according to tests run on the beta it seems to be really CPU intensive.

Yeah, I gain no fps by going down to 1280x800 it's exactly the same as 1680x1050. Never thougt my E8400 would bottleneck my HD4850.

i must say, even though the beta runs like crap on my machine, caspian border is still fun as hell

they have a lot of work to do on hit detection though, im afraid this game as well is using ping compensation.

also i cant wait to fukin play hardcore mode, emptying bullets into people and getting killed first is driving me INSANE!! pulling my hair OUT!!!

I hate the instant death bug, I hate the

ty hitreg.
I hate the squad managment missing, and all of the visual bugs of the weapons/attachments/animations.
DICE never changes.
But 64 player conquest is fun as hell

I have no problem with hitreg, I didn't in BC2 eather although I had a TERRIBLE connection. And I'm sure the visual bugs a all gone in the retail version.
And why complain about the squads in the beta? We all know it will be in the final game, so who cares if it's missing in the beta.

connection wouldnt matter, they use ping compensation to level the playing field. and i cant beleive you are not having a problem with hit reg....you play sniper class only or something? there are MAJOR issues with it for sure, getting killed through things you shouldnt have, getting shot from some one who shot at you seconds ago, its a major issue in beta right now, and while it did improve in bad company, its still an issue cause of ping compensation.

the hit reg right now is not one of those "the bigfoot exists" arguments, its a known issue that will hopefully be fixed in retail.

**nullface** · 10-08-2011, 05:18 PM

Its a problem in BF3 Beta sure or I hit what I point at but I get killed behind rocks pretty offen, but in BC2 I never had problems with hitreg, and I have 75% of my kills with M16, M416 and G3.

**disruptfam** · 10-08-2011, 05:40 PM

Anyone else having issues joining caspian border server's?

I'm stuck on " CONNECTING"

Many of the rocks are transparent to bullets, shells, and rockets. A major game bug which I hope DICE will patch quickly.

You can best see this by getting into a mobile AA and spraying the rocks. The transparent rocks will not show a cloud of dust from the bullet impact. Also, many of the rocks near the Antenna flag in GB suffer from this problem.

I can get in but I get dropped pretty quick.

Wowsers! I can't believe how much of a difference gameplay on Caspian Border is when I went from a Sapphire 6870 Vapor-X to an MSI R6970! I can actually switch everything from high (with no AA), to Ultra with 4xAA at 1920x1200 res! THIS should have been the very first map in the Beta, NOT Metro.

**Spawne32** · 10-08-2011, 07:54 PM

lol bought badcompany 2 on steam today, turned it on, set the graphics to high, game looks better then BF3 and the game play is balanced, and much more fun.

**natedog420** · 10-08-2011, 07:59 PM

do any of realize that this is BETA, dive already said the retail version will look better and play better. a lot of bugs were fixed but they werent fixing them in the beta just retail. the retail version will be much more ironed out and will have the graphics that you are seeing in the ea/dice videos and be much more optimized for better gameplay. just wait people this is a month and a half old build were playing on

People are understandably dubious about this whole Beta version argument, given release is so soon. When exactly are DICE going to test the changes they are supposedly making from the public Beta? Oh wait - the changes are tested in the release candidate and patched across several years.

They just run a different development model.

I dont think alot of you understand how game development works, and the reason for alpha...beta..demo and retail. While there may be a history with dice doing things this way, you need to remember we are two weeks away from release. I fully understand releasing an unfinished product for testing...but 2 weeks from release, and then to say that its a old build of the game and that it was only released just for everyone to get a taste of it? Nah i dont think so. If anything releasing an unfinished low quality product like this even for testing purposes, to the public, so close to release, hurts the game more then it helps. You have alot of people that are uneducated about the process playing this as if it is a demo, completely disappointed with what they see. More importantly, you only have 2 weeks to fix a MASSIVE amount of problems that render this game virtually unplayable, and then to have the argument that oh, they will be fixed after its released....how does that help sales? No one wants to buy a game that plays and looks like

for 50-60 dollars to only have to wait for boat loads of patches afterwards months down the road. Im sorry but I had all the hopes in the world for this game and this beta release let me down big time. I could never justify buying a product like this with game developers that are so careless.

just saying
-on your system bfbc2 might look better maybe running the game at max. doubt if you could get 50% of max. with the system you stated., bf3 b played fine on mine and looked way better than bfbc2.
""im on the E5800, with a 6850 graphics card and its almost unplayable.""

I know this, im just saying that its retarded that a 6000 series radeon and a 3.2ghz dual core cant play this game at the maximum settings.

people are waiting for games to take advantage of quadcore cpus for ages (to be precisely, 4 years that is) and now, when exactly that happens, it's "retarded".

bc2 is pretty heavy on the cpu already, so what did you guys expect from bf3? welcome to 2011

**solofly** · 10-10-2011, 10:10 AM

Just checked the calendar and there is 15 days left folks...

(and the countdown begins)

It's definitely the dualie what's killing you Spawne32.

I work as a sysadmin for a big group of developers, and mantaining two branches of a release is stupid. So I trust when they say it's a month old build. Even if you fix a bug in the Release branch, it takes time merging it to the Beta branch, time that should be much better spent in the Release branch.

This leads us to the same conundrum:
Why on earth did they release as demo AKA "beta" an old and buggy version?
This was a stupid move by EA/DICE.

I played the Caspian map and it's a much better experience, I liked it much more than operation metro.
I'll wait for them to fix the bugs AND release it on Steam. I don't like EA and I won't give them my money unless the final product is GREAT.
