Whats the concensus on what ultra looks like then?

Every time i go to choose different settings i get shot, you can only change the graphics etc when you are on a server. So, one spends time changing a few settings only to get shot and die, again.

That is a bit annoying, but tbh who cares if you get shot

I'm testing the nvidia bf3 285.38 beta drivers, no major issues.

Looks just like Crysis 2 tbh, only without the tesselation

don't hate me guys, but i'm not feeling the love, it feels like cod... very fast paced and so on... my first reaction is its *@^&* - eeek

Very impressed with Battlelog. It reminds me of Novaworld for those here that used to play Delta Force back in the day!

Gravatar is a nice touch imo. I also like the ease of setting a clan tag etc. The party mode looks promising too, if it allows you to do what it claims (drag your friends into a party box and all hit a server as a squad).

I've linked the .exe file to Steam and it almost feels like Origin doesn't even come into it in reality. It just pops straight into Battlelog.

Tick the 5+ filter and look to the right in a small window- at the servers available.

Where would I put in the BETA code if I did have one ?

diverse180 · 27 Sep 2011 at 19:02

Graphic settings don't seem to do much on fps lol

Low and ultra setting always around 50 fps with a 5870/amd 955 @3.8

True lol

the Vram usage of my 5850 was around 810-825MB for both settings lol. This should tell us something

Me lol. Its best to change settings before one deploys haha!. Although i did get promoted but then i got dropped from the server

hardkore · 27 Sep 2011 at 19:03

Just to confirm that the xbox code wont work on pc. Shame tbh but i'm not going to go down on EA and a extra tenner to get a open beta 2 days early

If its operation metro might aswell play it on the xbox

It was a bit meh for me - but I am new to the BF series really - though i hope it's not a web based launcher in final game - very off putting!!

mithrandir · 27 Sep 2011 at 19:04

Who has used a discount code to pre order on Origin and which code did you use please?

I've tried Cokezone and one given to me by the EA support staff (for 20% off), both are not valid and I have been told they do not work on preorders (I know about this for cokezone but the 20% one?)

HazardO · 27 Sep 2011 at 19:06

Anyone finding the controls have a massive >10 sec lag, and you can't even look in the direction you want to ?
