Was there a fix for it? or does it just fix itself.

Where is the best place to pre-order apart from Origin?

 

[Vulcan]

Is it safe to assume people wont get banned for putting up videos of the Beta, Caspian Border especially?

Why would you be banned for that?

Has anyone else noticed, people going round with shotguns with acog's on using it like a sniper. I am getting killed by 870's way out of shotgun range!

If i download this on a laptop using origin, can I transfer it to my home computer when i get home?

 

[Gerard]

Lol so true, but its a good thing as the helicopters mostly free Just had bash on CB taking out tanks with the RPG its great that you can now disable tanks.

Don't like the feel of the heli's at all, it just feels way to light, no feedback whatsoever and seems to crawl along at best

Yes. I downloaded mine elsewhere, copied the folder from Origin Games, set the download going at home so it made all the folders. Closed Origin, copied over the complete files. Start origin. Start download, it should jump to about 99%.

The game is classic. There is a tonne of glitches but it doesn't matter, it plays fantastic and the audio is just ridiculous. Those are two things that they can't patch in at a later date, while the little things can be fixed.

Get it all the time and the Code 2 one. I just spam "Return" and usually get past it and get a better response.

I couldn't say mate. I haven't done anything to fix it though, maybe i've just been lucky

If the server browser is truly going crazy just close your browser and try again.

Ahh just one of those things I think of before posting any footage. Didnt want the EA account getting banned when I need it for other games

And what with Caspian Border not officially out didnt want them getting funny about footage from it!

Noticed some Jet footage was taken down yesterday from it.

Only been in them twice and each time I started out fine and felt comfortable-ish with the controls. Then as soon as I get into some action like, I just seem to spiral out of control. Don't know wtf I'm doing wrong.

Played quite a bit of caspian, loved it

 

[WingZero30]

Woooohoooo!!

managed to play Caspian Border for about an hour!!

Brilliant map and action!!

Definitely defines BF3


However for those of you who played CB, did you experience heavy lag during firefight/action?

My frames dipped to 10FPS on a single 1GB 5850 at ultra on full hd lol

I think this map + action causes havoc on the rig
