Can someone give me a guide about the multiplayer?

I mean the Game modes and stuff like this.

And about the Caspian Border thing:

Do everyone start in a random vehicle or you get it by killstreaks or they are on the map and you man them?

Traditionally in battlefield the vehicles are waiting at spawn for people to get into (and in conquest their will often be vehicles at the various capture points).

Also, in Rush they spawn in each new base (basically spawn) you've captured. You might want to read this blog page: Battlefield 3 multiplayer. Their blog has all the info you'd like to get about BF3 :)

If I remember correctly, the caspian border gameplay video showed conquest mode. Basically, there are two teams that spawn on opposite sides of the map. Also, there are various spawnpoints that must be captured in order to win the game. The points, which are clearly indicated on the map, are captured by standing beside it. The more soldiers around the point, the faster it's captured. Once it's captured, you can spawn on that point to reinforce your teammates faster (rather than spawning at your home base). There's also a set number of tickets that each team has which goes down with deaths and something called ticket bleeding. When one team has the majority of the points, the opposing team will start losing tickets on top of losing it by deaths. There's also a time limit so whichever team has more tickets wins and whichever team has 0 tickets loses.

Wow I really hope my laptop is beyond repair and staples has to give a more current one that replaced my model(as when I bought it new was already a year old). The HD, motherboard and cooling system was all out and while I could get my on low settings this game looks to pretty for that. That SP trailer looked amazing. I was just gonna dive into MP but damn I might have to beat campaign first.

Also does a origin pre-order charge the full price up front or just $5?

I took an extra shift at work JUST to get this game haha.

Anyone know where to get it cheap in Canada or should I just get it through Origin?

origin is your best bet in canada, just for the pre-order extras , like early beta access and the dlc.

I am in Canada as well and I pre-ordered this game from Origin especially since you get the Limited Edition of the game which includes DLC; You also get Battlefield Play4Free items and early beta (48 hour) access; all of these at no extra cost.

My gawd, that trailer looks awesome :D Not sure if is I should get the 360 version or not since we don't have any videos showing off the 360 gameplay :/ I do know that my PC probably would not be able to handle it, at least in almost max settings. I'll probably wait to see some 360 gameplay first before picking this up later.

I think that latest video has sealed the deal for me. All I want my collective love ones to do is all pitch in towards a GTX 580 for XMas.That and a nice pair of sweatpants, because I do not plan on going out much this winter. :laugh:

      As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
