Are they planning to have release the second map for beta players soon? (i.e not password protected)

Probably!

I'm loving the beta tho, a lot more polished than alpha, runs a lot better than expected aswell, and when I get my new power supply to allow be to use crossfire tomorrow, even better!

I finally got it downloaded after 5hours

Have put in a request to join the Overclockers UK platoon (my name: equk)

So for those of you who have been lucky enough to play Caspian, what was the performance like compared to metro? What was the difference in fps?

~>Dg<~ · 28 Sep 2011 at 13:47

liamcrane controls were inverted for me and i found it a bit awquard with my mouse as the sensitivity is a bit slow . really could do with a joystick or someone who is a very good pilot which i am not

fps was not effected from metro mine was still same

that looks amazing!!! how did u find the controls DG? I could never grasp the controls hor the chopper in BF2 so i have no hope of flying a jet

Best way to fly is via joystick. I have a joystick next to mouse so if I am lucky to get in a chopper in BC2 the controls for it are right next to me. Far easier then mouse/keys trust me.

Ya never know :-)

Anyone know what the situation is with the public beta? By this I mean how will the keys be distributed etc? Will be at work on the day/time it's released

You don't need a key, all you need to do it download Origin client and register. Open Origin and youl see the Beta in there somewhere. NO PAYMENT REQUIRED... but if you like give me a dollar for the info

Caspian. Holy ****.

Spook187 · 28 Sep 2011 at 13:56

Managed to get in Caspian and grab a chopper,the hovering was good,map looks awesome,should shut a few up after playing this map

Tom|Nbk · 28 Sep 2011 at 13:56

just played a full round of caspian then it ctd, was enough for me to wet my whistle.

The sooner they allow more servers up the better!

McGray · 28 Sep 2011 at 13:58

Are the Caspian servers not p/w protected any more then?

What server and password did you use?

We need a list

JamesM · 28 Sep 2011 at 14:00

Do we have any European Caspian passwords yet?

Tom|Nbk · 28 Sep 2011 at 14:00

just one of the random ones that had reset I managed to get in quickly but it filled up very very fast.

Gazanimal · 28 Sep 2011 at 14:01

Caspian Border servers are up & down like yo-yo's & need a password.

Just played a round, FRAPS'd it and jizzed.

BF3 truly has arrived.

(Videos posted soon)

I luckily managed to into one of the EA (MPUK) Caspian servers, I was in a tank within seconds.

So much better than the crappy Metro map.

~>Dg<~ · 28 Sep 2011 at 14:03

dg for take off

kennydoc · 28 Sep 2011 at 14:03

Had a few rounds of Caspian there, now thats proper Battlefield.

Jets are crazy fun, good size map also, better than this rush garbage.
