Guys

Anyone find that the gpahics feel choppy? Fraps tells me im getting 100 130fps but it feels like 30fps!

Very choppy and glitchy and flickery?

Im running 2 5870s I7@4ghz

Anyone else getting the same effect?

Yup.

Flickering is very distracting.

All Battlefield games have felt this way, kind of clunky with a feeling of instability.

I'd like to bet that remnants of the engine they used for BF 1942 still remain. A bit like the COD and Source engine still have Quake engine code in them, I would assume that DICE don't throw away an entire game engine everytime they make a new game.
 
Just watched a quick gamepley of the PC version on YT. Evryone camping/sitting in bushes sniping.

Sounds like BFBC2 all over again, pussy players who are too afraid of confrontation even though BF is not RL.

Pass.

This is what makes it more fun. I am not a sniper, I have tried it on many BF games it is not for me, unless I am so drunk just sitting in a bush firing works. But sniping does have a skill as well. Getting that perfect shot is not always easy. I love tracking down snipers and have a handgun battle anyway :) Well thats BC2 anyway.

Sweet!

So it struggled with the 580 more?!

How long did you run it? Did you do any overclocking

I did the maths last night and tbh I expected I should be ok with it.

No, it ran the SLI 480's fine and it runs the single 580 fine too [a single 580 is bit faster and runs a lot less hot and also less power hungry than a single 480]
 
Well it was good, then I re-launched it and the mouse has decided to just not work smoothly whatsoever, it jumps in 1/4's, goes, stops, goes etc..

Kinda mad cause nothing has changed. Even re-installed it and it's still doing it.
 
Server browsers starting to bug the crap out of me, every time i refresh it will show a server witha few slots open, try to get in and it'll say "server could not be found", yet when you refresh it brings up the same damn server. Theres another one wheere it'll say like 15\64, you try and get in and it'll say full and show 64\64 but the instant you click away from ti it'll say 0\64. :confused:

And wtf is this crap about "couldn't join as its changing map", since when was that ever an issue in a pc fps? Its almost like its a lobby system its using.

its near impossible to get into a server at the minute because everyones doing the exact same thing, refreshing like mad and fighting to get in first.

Dont think it will be a long term issue, the Casapin servers are getting hammered when they empty by 1000s like you/us

Hopefully and surely tomorrow when the open beta starts we will have a lot more servers and stop all the silly password carry on

lol @ the fake Russian accents on the Russian team, they sound so stupid..blatantly an american putting what they think is a Soviet accent :D

Why not just hire a real Russian reanslator or something to do the voices for it?

Yanks wont notice cos most of them prolly think Russia is in Canada or something...
 
Just played a few rounds of Conquest and it's great fun. The added detail makes the game much more tense and you have time to flank enemies and move into better positions.

I'll reserve final judgement for now but I'll pretty certain I'll never play rush when 64 player conquest is available, it was much more fun.
 
anyone using 2560X1500 noticing that the minimap and ammo counter is half cut off?
it did this in the alpha build too.

most annoying

The battlefield 3 beta client thing is up on usenet now for anyone wanting to download it in anticipation for tomorrows open beta, as I am sure EA will be getting hammered tomorrow.
