The Unofficial Battlefield 3 Thread

check out that EOD bot montage me and my friends made

Same here. Wonder why punkbuster is causing it.

 

It has to communicate with the server, and with you back to their own servers I believe. That is why in CoD4 where my ping was ~40ish I still got lag because of punkbuster.

Operation Firestorm Map

 

NDA was removed on 2 maps or something like that. I was at school so haven't been looking at the news feeds.

 

Update #1:

here are the latest Top-Ten Community Issues that we’re addressing.

 

1. Squad issues: Cannot play with friends within same squad, squads get split up onto opposite teams, etc.

There will be improved squad functionality in the retail game (including but not limited to): the ability to create squads prior to launching into a game, sticking with your squad when joining a game and continuing together through future games (If team balance on the server allows it), inviting friends to a squad and changing squads once in game.

 

2. Regarding additional Open Beta content and fixes/patches for consoles, including PlayStation 3 issues with chat and party systems

While we would like to patch the Open Beta, DICE is currently focusing its available resources on polishing the retail game.

 

3. Will DICE have enough time to iron out everything by release?

Please see General Manager Karl Magnus Troedsson's blog post regarding this question.

 

4. Can we have ability to change settings/options before deployment into match on PC?

The ability to modify your settings via the deploy screen has been added into the retail game.

 

5. Issues with terrain stability and “falling into the map” on Operation Métro

This has been fixed for the beta via a server side update.

 

6. Kill cam sometimes zooms out too far or outside the map

This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.

 

7. A bug that sometimes keeps some players from being able to sprint

This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.

 

8. Screen flickering/stuttering. Blue screen remains after respawn. Game locks up after deploying C4 (360)

This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.

 

9. Downed bodies appear to be dead, but are not

The DICE team has been looking into this issue – which is caused by a combination of incidents in a confined area - and are working hard to address the issue for the launch of the retail game.

 

10. Why is the hit detection seemingly different from Battlefield: Bad Company 2?

The netcode is one of the many things that we are testing as part of the Open Beta and is not necessarily reflective of the final retail game. The DICE team appreciates and has heard the feedback you’ve provided and is further optimizing online play.

This new CPU and Ram lets me play BF3 much better now (still using 9600 GT). I tried to record some gameplay, but its apparently I suck at playing on the PC atm.

 

Sniper rifles on ironsights aren't as easy to do the entire map as it is on the PS3 (Less players to deal with).

I wish someone was on to play with from OCC. I have been playing all night. Seems like every time I own on Caspian the game crashes. The jets are just awesome to fly around even though I never kill anyone!

Here is a review of frame rates I found today, check it out

New AMD beta drivers (released 10-7-11)

 

Making it happen

720p windowed on a 1920x1200 monitor (can't see crap)

All low settings with 40 FPS on a 9600 GT

That's one thing I personally love about this game so far, they honestly have taken window mode to the next level. I love playing games in window mode but normally games only allow you to use set resolutions for them, and if you want window mode at native resolution you will always get this little bit of a window that hangs off the bottom and side, the border of it specifically. With BF3 though, it works just like Minecraft, you can double click the title bar and it will fill up the monitor but still be in window mode. I've good window modes in some lesser known/indie games but never is a game that is probably going to win a ton of GOTY awards, it's really nice to see a developer stepping things up like that, it'll be awesome to see if a lot of other developers use this same idea for their games.

[Krieg1337]

Kekeke I went 17-1 with the S98 with iron sights the other day

 

I have one with 8-0 as well where I was top player, but the others aren't saved in the battlelog anymore :/

 

Wait nevermind, here is the 17-1

 

Here it is
