I pointed my gun at this tree, pressed Q and two enemy units appeared

Didn't even see them

Fire in short bursts or switch to semi.

edit: wow, in-between replying to a post 10 other posts popped up.

I do fire in shortbursts. How do i switch to semi?

So in the beta can we expect to be able to make a squad, invite people to the squad as well as kick them out, and to issue orders to a squad becuase I see no team play elements in the alpha. I spam the q key for pickup and there is no indication that it was successful. I'm out of ammo and I'm looking around like crazy for support to spam Q, when I do find a support guy there is no indication that I asked for supplies it's dumb., we need the commo-rose badly, you feel like a mute in BF3.

I agree with you here. I'm not sure if its because it is Alpha but the teamwork aspect has been severely limited. You dont even get points for health and ammo. Only 10 points for a spot and 10 extra points for a squad revive. "Play it your way" = "Play on your own"

Playing at 80 fps.
It seesm to eb taking 10 bullets to kill someone.

80 FPS on a 3450?

You press v

Dont use semi untill you get the 4x and then only use it when engaging targets a long ranges but if your mouse finger is good enough 2-3 round bursts are just as accurate and faster.

Just remember to black out the top right text... your kills show there too.

Yeah the kills don't show up there from your own POV.

Makes a lot more sense now

Anyone playing on Eyefinity? I really hope they fixed it from BC2.

3 round birst or one shot?

lol yeah my finger is never off Q.

2-3 round bursts are as accurate as single shots so there is no need for semi unless you are engaging targets at long ranges.

What does the heavy barrel do?

 

[gropingmantis]

What does the heavy barrel do?

Higher accuracy but lower manouverability. I did not notice a significant change in accuracy for a significant slowing of bringing the weapon up.

 

[Komedy]

I got an email pointing me to https://bf3alpha.battlefield.com/redeem/index.php and got a key

 

[gropingmantis]

Actually sorry I forgot the M16 has a burst option. Keep it on full auto but fire in bursts. Nothing worse than getting up close and only firing three round when you ment to fire 10.

 

[anuraj]

I got killed by someone with -8% health
Yes -8%

Its not really playable due to low fps on those types of res. BC2 eyefinity\surround bug has been known about for about 8 months now and theyve still not fixed it, apparently they released a beta client to some people to test but that was back in february and they never bothered going any further with it.

To alpha players:

How does the M16 and M4 differ in game since both have full auto? (which I think is stupid)

But they both can in real life
