Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

[~>Dg<~]

The alpha had pretty much all the weapons available, just had to unlock them.

one account i have i just play and all unlocked already

So Caspian Border is a big surprise is it.

Surprise was perhaps not the best word, but I had to go into a meeting. But yes, you haven't played it, so it will be new to you when you do.

New weapons in the beta that weren't in the alpha

Metro again?! Can't be ****** now with the BETA.

 

[FrenchTart]

For the 48hr early access you do

You're not though really. You're paying for the game and that was added in as an additional bonus.

 

[Muzy]

who said SLI is required to play on Ultra settings,

how about gamers with 580GTX ? single card ????????????

 

[WingZero30]

Metro again?! Can't be ****** now with the BETA.

And Wes I thought you were already 'playing the game' lol

 

[iamtheoneneo]

so disppointed its metro again....had enough of that map the first time around...

seriously this is gash - are they hiding something or what???

 

[ScarySquirrel]

1) Beta date delayed till 27-29 Septemeber
2) Operation Metro again
3) Sli/Xfire required for playing on ultra settings


So much for caspian border. That's the one map which would have stress tested our rigs plus enabling us to test vehicles motion, etc.

Some people were under the impression that beta may last longer, but seems it is not to be. Still plenty of days for metro lol

I say bring on Nvidia 6** and AMD 7*** series cards. These cards will eat Battlefield 3 and put Dice pride to shame, rightly so.

All these trolling from EA/Dice have really put a bitter taste in gamers mouth. First building up all the hype and then shattering it lol.

Dice need to stop trolling gamers and be straight up with facts in future. Deserve to have eggs thrown at them tbh.

I am actually starting to feel sympathy for activision who were told by arrogant EA that 'hope their cod series rot to core'.

Just wish Activision develop brand new cod with new engine etc and also provide a class product in future.

You are hilarious.

Oh wait, you're being serious.

I can't quite believe the amount of cry babies on here and the EA forums.

 

['Wes]

I was playing CoD, i got them mixed up, they're really identical.

Will most likely still play the BETA anyway.

Sure a link someone posted higher up that said that you would need 2x 580GTX to max out everything.

But recommended system spec (6850 or 560ti) would be enough for medium, single 580 for high.

I'm gonna be running 2x 6870 so hoping for high?

 

[FrenchTart]

You are hilarious.

Agreed. People are being unbelievably melodramatic.

 

[WingZero30]

So are there 4 graphical settings then?

Low
Medium
High
Ultra

 

[norm]

The beta isn't just for the PC version y'know

All the feedback from all platforms will affect changes for the whole game (all platforms) - so there would in fact be NO sense in having a PC beta on one map/game mode and consoles on a completely different map and gamemode.

They have said all along PC is the lead platform for BF3. When nothing so far has shown that.

And the balance of a map between console and PC varies because of the player limit 24v32 respectively.

So assigning the same changes all across the board is clearly wrong.

It's the internet, it's full of whining bitches.

He also says Recommended - normally equals medium

So I would think a single 570/580 would do high very nicely.

 

[Davepen]

Low
Medium

As with most modern games, there will be pre-set graphical settings, more than likely the above.

We will also be able to tweak individual settings.

Just checked your post history, do i have to post your posts to show you're a hypocrite?

 

[TC_Overclocker]

As far as we've been told yeah... I'd assume going:

Low - Nvidia 8 - GTX460
Medium - GTX560
High - GTX580
Ultra 2xGTX580

(Going by what has been said on Twitter)
