I'm an absolute Battlefield newbie (Last played the orig BF1942 many moons ago)
:eek:

I'm downloading the BF3 alpha now, Any significant changes since the orig bf1942? (back in 2002)

Besides you have to be living on another planet if you think EA actually care or even have the resources to "sue" kids on every little forum going.

Haha

How do you signup for the EA Newsletter? Is this the correct link: http://games.ea.com/pop_signup.html

Not really seeing much difference between the graphical settings (low, med, high). Do they just change the shadow resolution or something?

toString · 27 Jul 2011 at 13:51

You can see the difference while changing them (albeit through the black overlay of the menu background).

Just got one!

Thx!

I have 2 monitors connected to 1 4850 by DVI, but I only use the main 23" one for gaming.

So I presume that I will have to disable my 2nd monitor to play without crashes?

Neil79 · 27 Jul 2011 at 13:54

Well.. So far i think it sucks for an alpha

Seeing triangles and Stars trundling across the screen looks bloody ridiculus, someone has been shooting at me, i've hit the ground and crawled into a bush only to be killed by the same guy Because of that stupid f'in 3D spotting!

On another note my graphics card is really showing it's age now

and i saw a tank flip upside down without touching anything lol

Surely you're used to the 3d spotting what with all the BFBC2 playing?

toString · 27 Jul 2011 at 13:57

But you're not cool unless you jump on the bandwagon.

No runs on 2 fine, just will crash like hell if your using eyfinity or 2 extra extended desktops

Why would EA sue him for copy and pasting them from the website he linked to

However we should sue him for posting 5760x1200 screenshots...

Because he is breaking the NDA.

McGray · 27 Jul 2011 at 13:58

Is there an EA forum to discuss the Alpha?

Seems worse in BF3, i'll play some more..

EDIT : Hate the battlelog

There must be a problem with the settings not applying or something. Changing them mid-game seems to do nothing, but changing them, then quitting and starting it up again seems to apply them.

Game runs fine on my X4 640 @ 3.6Ghz and 5770 512mb on low or medium. Drops to around 25-30fps on high.
