Yep, well i think it is. Its 3.9gb, I unzipped it , copied it into the origin games folder, fired up origin and pressed play

How do I play the caspian map? There are about 32 servers that are always full
 
im getting into caspian almsot every time
copy password to clip board

Filter for Caspin map and EU

press F5, watch for maps going 0/64, even if they go back 64/64 start spamming

Join > paste > submit > close

if you get server cannot be found your nearly there, Keep spamming within 60 seconds i usually get joining server

I wish you could decrease settings more. Low still looks really good but I can't get 60 FPS steady, and that's on the Metro level. I don't think I'd be able to play Caspian even on low :(.

I think with that rig, you can play on medium-high settings with good fps albeit with few lower settings such as turning all AA options completely off, shadow low etc.

Caspian Border map is highly buggy/glitchy atm so expect no surprises:)
 
Disappointed in this in a big way.

Maybe it's the fact that a game that made its name for big battles and vehicles has chosen to public beta on a confined rush map with no vehicles.

Maybe it's because I can't access any menus whilst dead, so I have to stand around like a lemon if I want to go into the menus.

Maybe it's the fact that the new map style of "everything must be pseudo VR overlays" makes it hard to tell at a glance who is where and doing what.

Where have commanders gone?!

Squads no longer feel like self contained squads, I just feel like I'm playing CoD4 deathmatch.

Having said that, it runs silky smooth on my machine at least at High and with AA and AF (Q9550 @ 3.4G, 4Gb, X-Fire 5850s, Win7 64bit).

When I said low I meant everything low, no AA or anything. Still hovers around 50 and goes down to ~38 in the Metro area.

I must admit im really not enjoying this game so far,Sick to death of Metro map and way too much hastle trying to play the other map....unless they unlock the other map for us to play without hunting down for passwords that keep changing il probably end up cancelling my pre-order,Been having much more fun in BC2 today.

You don't need the passwords, just follow this:

using Chrome press CTRL + SHIFT + J then paste this

launcher.verifyPassword = function(game, gameServerGuid, plaintextPassword, callback) { callback(true); }

now you can select any server and join it just leave the password blank.

Once you play a 64 player map I'll pretty much guarantee you'll feel different about the game. Caspian Border is a world away in feel & gameplay to Metro.

Commanders were taken out unfortunately. Commo-rose is in for retail though.

What resolution?

My 5850's fly through Metro, but Caspian is eating the 1gb of vram.
 
Having turned AA on low and shadows to low the stuttering has stopped due to VRAM running out. Here are my settings:



The game runs at around 90fps constant :) The only problem is by having shadows on low they look jagged and rubbish, but it doesn't affect the gameplay so I'm not that bothered.
