I've been told using the 360 pad for flying is a much better alternative.

Good idea batman! Didnt think of that and I have 1 plugged in next to me, Does it work without any setting up do you know?

Ginger-Menace · 29 Sep 2011 at 17:26

so far i think they have done a great job with it. much better on conquest, cant wait for full game now, going to try to play some more Caspian tonite. really like the effects when a jet shoots the ground near you, i actually jumped in my chair!

Finally downloaded the game and installed it, it opened a web based server browser, I thought fine I'll put up with this. Click a game, click join... "you need our plugin to join, download it and then click continue".

I'm out. Too much bloatware. Origin, firefox plugin, web based server browser. And 3 EULAs that had to be signed along the way, some of which had multiple pages each requiring an agreement.

I was a great bfbc2 player, I loved BF2, and I even enjoyed bf2142 but EA have just taken things down a bad direction and I've had enough.

Good luck to anyone else who plans on playing.

Lol.

Shame, I like the browser integration.

Why the **** they've passworded it anyway I dont know.

They've passworded it because its not meant to be accessable to us.

Where it starts to get a bit weird is the fact that its zh1nt0 himself who's publicly telling everyone what it is

I've posted the password already, in shocking pink (and again: 'shoppingcartsareagoodride').

Caspian Password
If it changes again, log into battlelog, head to the forums and the general area, and your pretty much guaranteed there'll be a thread asking for the password. If its know, it'll be on there.

This one is started by DICE employee zh1nt0, who i think is the DICE BF community leader.

Matchmaker matchmaker make me a match....

20 mins and still spinning.

Well it's clearly not working is it, i would have cancelled after 30 seconds. Try again or use the manual server browser.

Anyone else getting stuttering at random points? Is it because Im running out of VRAM on my crossfire 1GB 5850s?

I dont get it either, zhinto has given it out a few times so i dont see the point of a password on the servers =/

RavenXXX2 · 29 Sep 2011 at 17:34

You want great FPS and a great looking game use my settings. I don't go below 50 FPS even in heavy action.

It wont be a case of running out, your cards will consume as much info as they can to improve access to the info, it'll store what it can and what it cant hold may result in some stuttering or momentary texture delays, but im guessing thats 2x 1GB, which is plenty. 1GB alone wont be bad, it'll just be the recommended amount, with more being better, less having some detremental impact.
No idea what could be causing your stuttering though, but it wont be lack of V-RAM i wouldnt have thought.

Then you tell that to this chap
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2826551139100409662/

edit - double checked his actual title, as i mentioned a few posts earlier
zh1nt0 = Global Battlefield Community Manager at DICE.

He's the one 'leaking' the password, and has been since the very beginning. Originally he posted it on the EA UK forum, never saw him post the Appletini one, but he's posted the video star one and this one *Himself* on the Battlelog forum for all to see.
I suspect they'll just move to make those servers public, and *hopefully* switch half the Rush/Metro servers and put Caspian on there, because thats what people really want to see.
