Battlefield 3 Mega Hype Thread!!!!!! (56k no) Beta Update!

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"]Yeah, I'm officially a beast at this game. I'm a one man team. Thanks to whoever posted the FOV changes, now it seems I can see people from much farther away. As for gpu usage here, I'll post one with more action after I play another round. http://postimage.org/image/9m57dd7o/full/KungfuKitten

A 5850 running better than SLI, yeah, beta isn't optimized.:P

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] That was me.:P I play so much better at 90-100 FOV.

I really can't get over how bad this beta is.

But it isn't bad at all, especially if you get to play Caspian Border.

So, aside from the problems what are the problems? I guess when you put it that way I have no complaints.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"] Hm I never adjusted FOV for any game? What does that do? It makes you see more degrees to the sides, essentially pulling the camera back? Or cropping the screen to allow for more degrees to be on screen? BTW my 5850 is running pretty smoothly 1080p on high. I think they haven't optimized that stuff yet cuz my card is running better than some people with SLI and whatnot.

Caspian Border was a lot better, they should have released it a lot earlier. Also, beautiful, these screens aren't even maxed for performance but man still great:

10 Big Issues to be Addressed :

1. Battlefield 3 Squad issues: Cannot play with friends within same squad, squads get split up onto opposite teams, etc.
Squad management systemswill 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,

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 bethis glitchor 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.

"crunch time"

:nice:

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]

finally, i can understand why you guys are hating on Vsync, which i just turn on by reflex as i max all the settings. now it would be much easier to evaluate if i should keep it on or not if i could see BF3's options without being spawned, and definitely without having to enter a new server to see the changes.

"OMG there's a plane crashing better get out my handgun" :P

I just got team killed while in a jet and he stole it... Then after spawning some other random people started killing me for no reason >.> Better be good punishment for team killing in the final game.

Happened to me too. It was very annoying.

Here is BF3 in real life. I promise you will laugh hard. If not you have not soul. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6l4dAHKL-E&feature=player_embeddedRyviusARC

Didn't laugh at all.

Its funny in-game.

At what time does the beta end?millerlight89

I don't know actually.

On a side note I had another crazy jet moment. I was on the B flag hilltop and one og my guys had a Tank shooting at every direction and suddenly a jet came out of the sky and crashed nose first into the tank. it was insane looking. But the tank was fine and he did nothing but kill himself haha idiot

EDIT: Beaten by the person above me. It would be pretty cool if they do indeed keep it until Noon EST though.

Shame we didn't get Caspian Border.

So, aside from the problems what are the problems? I guess when you put it that way I have no complaints.

I'm mostly talking about the consoles. I've played a bit on PC, and it is a little better, but I detest using a keyboard. The PC version has the same netcode issues though, such as being in a gunfight, getting solid hitmarkers on the guy who kills you, and his health being at 100%. This is in a server where i had a ping of 22ms, so I don't know what else it could be.

This is probably the last time I will play the Beta and all I can say is that it has been a tonne of fun. I got to level 30 which is a little fast for my liking in the short time we had the beta I progressed way too quickly. So here are some screens of my last game. Its such a pretty game I love it. The lighting is insane.

The game lacks color. It look a lot better if they didn't make it look so high contrast.

This game is not getting higher than an 8.5. I wouldnt be supurised to see a repeat of Medal of Honor either to be honest.
