Unbelievable!

I went around the back of the metro, 5 enemies in one room throwing medic packs.. Brilliant, I shoot at all 5 of them and guess what ONLY ONE DIES!. ONE, the guy that kills me 100%

God i hope this is fixed in the final

They've fixed apparently all you need to do is:

I wonder if this thread will reach 1000 pages before release? ^^

Wish I could play the beta, I've only had it for 10 minutes at -10000000 FPS because my laptop cannot run it even on low very well, even though it manages with BC2 fine on med settings!

All that will be solved from next week though with new build coming up :D

By that time beta would have finished any way :p

Only option is to wait for full game :D
 
I've not had any of the problems you're having Neil79. Not once.

I've had a few moments where I've ducked behind cover and then died, but that problem happens in most FPS games I've played, and it's not happening too often.
 
Anyone else having more disconnect problems today than previous days? I keep getting time-outs and hope it's the nature of the beta and not my crappy internet connection. It was reasonably fine in previous days but today is terrible for me connection wise.
 
I can't seem to join servers... tell's me I don't have origin running lol. Funny that considering I do, and I just used it to launch the server browser (*Sigh*)
 
not seen this in here so thought id post it

WILL THERE BE DOWNTIMES DURING THE BATTLEFIELD 3 OPEN BETA?

Yes. Throughout the BF3 Open Beta we will be patching and testing our server configurations. While downtimes may happen at any time, please note the following downtimes scheduled daily from Tuesday Oct 04, through Friday Oct 07:

Playstation 3 : 6:00 am - 7:00 am UTC
PC (including Battlelog) : 7:00 am – 8:00 am UTC
Xbox 360 : 8:00 am – 9:00 am UTC

WHAT VIDEO CARD DRIVERS DO I NEED FOR THE BETA?

For AMD, you'll need to download the 11.10 Preview Driver http://support.amd.com/. [support.amd.com] For nVidia, you'll need the 285.38 BETA driver (32 bit http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-285.38-beta-driver.html [nvidia.com] of 64 bit http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-32bit-285.38-beta-driver.html) [nvidia.com]

WILL MY STATS CARRY OVER FROM THE BETA TO THE FINAL GAME?

No. We are still fine tuning the ranking system and we don't want to give BETA players and unfair advantage when Battlefield 3 launches. You will keep your soldier name though.

DOES THIS BETA REPRESENT FINAL GAME QUALITY?

The BETA is NOT final software and updates will be done both to the game and to the back-end prior to the Battlefield 3 launch. Your participation will still help us improve the final game.

I SEE THERE ARE SERVERS UP FOR A SECOND MAP ON PC. CAN I ACCESS AND PLAY THIS MAP?

Operation Metro is the only map being run during the Open BETA on all platforms. Testing of Caspian Border on PC has come to an end at this time.

ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS TO PLAY TIME IN THE BETA?

You can play for as long as you want during the time of the BETA. There will be no cap on how far you can rank up or what you can unlock.

HOW WILL SQUADS WORK IN THE RETAIL VERSION OF BATTLEFIELD 3 ON PC/XBOX 360/PLAYSTATION 3?

Since the Open BETA we’ve added more advanced functionality to manage your squad. You will be able to browse and join specific squads through the squad screen. You can see all players that are in a specific squad as well as who’s playing as lone wolf. As a squad leader you can set your squad to private as well as kick players from the squad.

On console you will also be able to choose if you want the active VoIP channel to be team or squad and invite friends to your squad. You will also be able to mute any player on your team through the scoreboard

sorry if its repost

whos cancelled their cancelled pre-order?? :cool:

and on http://twitter.com/#!/Battlefield Caspian will not be returning to the beta

lots on info in the past few hours
The developers have commented that punkbuster is disabled on the beta but they are tracking all offenders. ^CH

I also see some origin bans being handed out for those who were on the 128 man server, may be unfair if the Quck match was used but DICE may be able to tell either way

I'm pretty sure its just lag.

The servers are overloaded, and you're playing against people from abroad with high pings.

I don't lag in any other game, any. It's the netcode, it's broken in this version. I hope the release one is much better.


As a side note, on tuesday the for 4 hours I played and noted it down;


I died because of;

Bugged/Invisible players - 12 times.
Delayed reg hits by using hard cover - 16 times.
People who I hit multiple times with hit markers, but never got hurt - 7 times.
People who I couldn't even get hit reg markers, even when I sneak up point blank and unload to mags - 5 times.
C4 Killing me through a wall(indestructable too) I previously used on - 1 time.
Randomly dying and killing myself - 1 time.
Unknown death, no name, no kill cam - 1 Time

That's 43 deaths attributed to whole lot of bull crap in 4 hours, I'm generally top 3 player on a server unless I'm specifically doing spotting for a team, trying to arm with EOD Bot/Testing new weapons yadda yadda but gauge that many deaths over the 37 hours I did play?

Yuuuup, I'm sure I've also been the cause of others disbelief, when yelling at my brother to heal me and saying he can't see me, he really meant it, I was invisible. Same goes for being bugged, ressed a friend and he was standing up on his screen and lying down on mine. Also, hitting a friend multiple times before he saw me, then killing me and said he had 100% health, yeah.. come on we're on a decently pinged sever according to battlelog and live 4 miles apart.

Other games manage fine, completely fine that these things I listed are not an issue ever.
 
The netcode thread has been acknowledged by an EA REP, response soon.
Hey guys,

Just wanted to stop in to let you know that we are -absolutely- watching the entirety of this thread and that I am working to get you answers.

Will report back ASAP - please lend me your patience as this issue is more complicated than most.

To that end, I appreciate everyone who has <signed>, but now that you have our attention it's becoming less than constructive and making it more difficult to parse more thorough feedback. Sign if you must, though.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but the reason for not finding all these official responses is because they're usually hidden in some billion page thread that's been created a million times, or on some twitter feed ( I don't use twitter but will if linked to it ) that no offical source but the community links or a blog. Now that I know them all it's always old news, I was hoping the NEWS tab on battle log would be the best source for info.

Apparently not!

But all that reads to me is, since the lack of mention about their internal build not having fixed it, like they have with other issues is that they haven't even fixed it yet, I firmly believe we'll see these issues post launch, I'll bloody quote this post later too.

And are the other games finished or are they all BETA too? :confused:

Can you read?

Mainly the bit about, IT'S BROKEN IN THIS VERSION. I HOPE THE RELEASE ONE IS MUCH BETTER.

Edit: Not to mention the netcode in BC2 had issues from beta to release and was addressed officially by them, so screw that whole idea.
