New Map being shown off

First thing he does is fire an rpg at a wall and it does nothing 0_o.

Is it just me or is this commentary a bit rubbish? Map seems interesting though.

Uninstall. Then reinstall the bf3 drivers. Not tried bf3 with the rage drivers myself though.

This that a cse of uninstalling the whole lot and putting the other back on or can i keep the 11.9's and just remove the individual rage part?

If that makes sense!

Remove the lot. Only takes a couple of mins and 2 reboots to have the bf3 drivers up and running again.

Loadout screen looked very BC2 at the start of that vid.

:O looks exactly like one of the good ETQW maps

edit: Goto 9:30 on that video, look at the shocking speed of that jet lol, It would be lucky to be doing 75mph

Gerard · 7 Oct 2011 at 12:15

Around 4:30 in the Bazaar vid, anyone else think that looks like a section of the faultline sp footage when he gets onto a bridge and starts firing with an LMG? Looks very similar but not exactly the same.

Im just now noticing the repair tool for engi is different from the alpha, in the apha the torch looked pretty different (right hand had thre torch, left hand held the tank part of it), now its a more dispossable looking torch tool.

Prehaps its lowered its thrust power... i used to do it all the time in Bf2, hold the nose up bit more with Occasional afterburn

Overall terrain size looks massive !!

I think we may well need to say goodbye to 1GB vram cards if we want to play on high + settings

[TFU] Thegoon84 · 7 Oct 2011 at 12:24

I'm at work does anybody know if you can pre-order limited edition caspian boarders on origin still?

Stop teasing

LOAM · 7 Oct 2011 at 12:24

Does anyone know, do the maps scale up and down in size like BF2 ? are we going to be shafted for size and equipment on a 32 slot server ?

Vanilla · 7 Oct 2011 at 12:24

Anyone else keep getting windows pop up saying to close some programs as you're low on memory (followed by a crfash).

I have loads left but keep hitting this for some reason.

Thats the price of massive maps with large view distance and loads going on. Worth it though.

damn you are the servers open all weekend?

Jets and choppers are awful compared to BF2, just got to try them to see that, they are so dumbed down and crap to fly and the jets at normal speed is a joke it's like flying in slow motion, the flight cieling said to be the same as BF2 feels way restricted, it takes you all of a few seconds to fall from 1100m to ground level. Why does the cannon on the jets overheat? are they not crap enough? Another problem is the turrets on tanks and mounted guns turn way to slow and there is noway to adjust the sensitivity like you could with BF2.

lol at grand bazaar what the hell's he doing with a blow torch ?
