Just wondering if any of you guys are picking up BF3 next month.
I’ll be picking it up along with Rage.
It looks so good -

OPEN BETA STARTS TODAY - http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3/1/beta
Hmm, i’m going to pass on the beta. Don’t want to uninstall it when real thing comes out 
Probably. Although I’m not a fan of having to go through that origins website to load the game up.
ahh yehh, I’ll be on this one when it comes out on Tuesday, the beta was really buggy at least it was on the PS3, but it was still so much fun, it all looks so much prettier on the PC, goddamn! I want to share the new trailer but I guess it was flagged as inappropriate for the youngsters. http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DFRqfFfuVuNE
It looks really tasty :ph34r:
How is the PC version? Anyone tried it yet? I’m more interested in the MP obviously.
At first I was not going to upgrade but I decided I will and once I do I will pick it up.
I just need the 4 following things since I have the rest already.
ASUS Z68 deluxe mb
I7 2600k or 2700k cpu
12 gigs of DDR3 ( not sure which is the fastest, need to read some)
Video card, 1 for now
Any input to help me out?
BTW hi, I was locked out of my account for a while since I forgot my password
I recently built a computer similar to yours window
i got the following:
i7 2600K OC to 3.9GHz
ASUS P8Z68 V-PRO (I should have gone for Deluxe because of its more spacious layout. i regret this one…)
8GB of ram (ADATA 2000G). Will upgrade to 16 in the next month or so.
ATI 6950 Crossfire. I initially got just 1 card but upgraded a week later to Crossfire. But i’m not very happy with it since Rage is not supporting it yet. Feel like i’ve spent money for nothing with the second card.
1GB 7200K raid. Will be getting 120GB SSD in November.
1000W PSU
27" Samsung monitor.
Overall i’m about 75% happy with it. i know this computer will last me for a few years. The only issues is the crossfire setup that is not paying off so far. I hope the new games will start supporting it soon.
It is seriously, the most impressive game since Quake1.
Absolutely phenomenal. Don’t let EA’s shitty reputation ruin this for you. This is DICE from Sweden, and they just cranked it out of the stadium.
Seriously guys. It makes RAGE look like Doom2
Also, seriously, how the mighty have fallen. Rage is TERRIBLE, and hideous. There’s no visual difference between Doom3 and Rage. If anything, rage looks WORSE.
I hate to say it, but its true.
My GTS450 and Quad 2.6 play the game in NATIVE 1920 x 1440 resolution on ultra settings with no problems what so ever. Remember, modern Geforce cards are 15 times as powerful as a PS3, and this game engine is designed to play on that POS.
And if I can rave about the game further. So far, (one week in) there are no hacks (something that plagued BF2 in a BIG way) there are no cheats, there are no bugs, and the game doesn’t crash, ever.
Seriously incredible.
I never thought it could be THIS good. It’s stupendous.
There is this annoying bug with binding the Q button to some other action… as in… you can’t do it. I wonder if it’s fixed? I have been using Q as left strafe since the mid 90’s… there is no way I can play any other way LOL
Well, I think the “other thing” you’re referencing is that Q is default for things like “offering ammo or health”, but I think that is a verbal offering, I don’t think it does anything. I use Q for throwing a single grenade, and it hasn’t caused me any problems.
it’s call of duty with a prettier engine, it should really be called JETPRONEFLASHLIGHT64CAMPFEST
Bush combat simulator
Boom.
I has it!!
I loves it!!
I plays with it!!
what is it??
I have not played a fps since Q3.. .don’t lol at my stats to hard.
User name is Ollokio and I only have a PC
I fixed the binding issue. Apparently the game isn’t writing key bindings to the player profile file properly. So I manually added them in. Much much better and works fine.
Is anyone playing this on PC? I seriously could use some teammates to play with.
I do, but looking at your post time I’d either be working or sleeping. My soldier name is Ollokio, maybe on a weekend we can meet up for a few rounds.
I am hopelessly addicted.
I’m not a big a fan of the small infantry levels. I play on servers that are mostly the “air” maps. Kharg, Firestorm, Canals and Caspian.
Oh, and ideally 600-1500 ticket servers as opposed to the default 300. I have a pretty big group of friends that I play with. It seems pretty much all my college gaming friends built systems for this game. We played a lot of BF:Vietnam in college, and BF2 shortly thereafter.
So it’s been 5 years since I played an FPS intensely. BF3 is absolutely incredible.
Man, I cant wait for the four best BF2 maps coming out next week. The trailer is amazing - http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3/1/back-to-karkand?sourceid=3208&om_u=2411296430&om_i=_BO2C2eB8evqixD
That said, Dusty said he might be getting it soon.
The game is so intensely team oriented, that even two people working together can really turn the tide on pretty much any 64 player server. 4 People working together can absolutely dominate.
I almost want to join a clan, just so I can play in a non-public server match. I can only imagine the complexity to the gameplay a 32 vs 32 match would present.
It’s great for the same reasons jailbreak was great. I really think you’d all love it.
