official Battlefield 3

I don't know why they don't just support borderless windowed mode in this game. That would solve all the alt + enter nonsense. IMO every game should have a borderless windowed option, its the best thing since sliced bread, especially with dual monitors :)

How the **** do you change video settings or anything on this stupid BF3 Beta, I've got it through Origin and what a lot of crap this is, web based interface wtf..! :no:

Once you load into a game go to the options menu and change the settings. I agree its silly that you have to load into the game to change the settings.

As for battlelog itself I actually don't mind it. i'd rather it not be web based but it has a lot more features than previous battlefield server browsers, and its faster. The platoon system looks awesome.

You obviously don't know the definition of a beta product...

thanks tips, i know it's beta. i am just saying what's wrong with the game.

Anyone using surround headphones? Are you getting 5.1? I have my Turtlebeaches hooked up via spdif, works but doesn't seem surround.

I actually thought ALT-ENTER worked way smoother than I thought it would. Because it is smooth, I do not mind it. If it sucked, then yeah, would not be happy about it.

Not being able to change settings while in Spawn, horrible, horrible decision. That is when most people want to play around with their graphics settings, when they are dead waiting to play again. Instead, I have to go find somewhere to crouch and hope I do not die. Definitely hope that changes.

Finally, there are for sure some bugs. I went to go chat to my team to tell the idiots to actually use Q to spot the enemy. I was not sure if I had hit J or K so wanted to back out of it, all of a sudden I was just stuck with a white text box, could not back out of it, but I could fire, look down the iron sights. I just could not move at all. Out of sheer frustration I pressed Ctrl+Enter and that got me back to moving. not Enter, Ctrl-Enter, and I only hit it as I was trying to hit Alt-Enter. So yeah, definitely some bugs.

you can also see people through walls if they are pushed up beside it...

Looks like all the ones who paid and got the jump start is running into bug issues.. by the time us free loaders get to play all bugs will be fixed and running smooth... Thanks :punk:

Don't worry, there's a 99% chance when the open beta starts the servers will be totally fubar'd.

Well after playing for a few minutes I can tell you one thing that annoys me. You can't adjust settings while on the respawn screen. You can't look at key bindings. You can't do anything other than adjust your kit. And that's kind of really irritating. I end up just standing there like a lump while looking through my settings trying to figure out key binds and stuff and then get killed and get booted out of the menu and have to start over. Blargh.

Other than that, the game seems to run really smooth for me and I don't even have the beta drivers installed yet, which funnily enough the game tells me I need despite the fact that it still runs just fine. lol

You can change all your settings while at the spawn screen by hitting ESC, i changed my keys and resolution and everything. Sure i wish we didnt have to be IN GAME to do it, but maybe once they finish the game it will be there.

Yeah true.. The servers will be hammered... Hope they got plans for it.

[rajputwarrior]

graphics are nice. definitely hate how you have to quit the game to get to another one though...

if this is a glimpse of the gameplay i definitely like bc2 more so far.

I had the graphics setting on high with 4x AA/AF and HBOA set to off. never dipped below 40, performance would probably be better if i installed the new drivers.

[SimplySchizo]

Too much downtime for my liking :(

Kill cam seems to last an eternity. You can't click out of it. So it eats into time you could've spent doing other things like customizing weapons/loadout or being able to view the squad/map screen. Given enough time to analyze the field and plan your next spawn/switch squads for better positioning/efficiency.

Too much down time in between matches as well. Totally kills the flow.

This game could be so much more fun but there are questionable decisions in design that just make no sense to me.

I am having a hell of a time joining a server. Just sits there saying "Joining Server..."

weird, i had no problem getting in and out...

[trag3dy]

So does anyone else have any issues with their movement being really floaty? Like extremely floaty, it's making it pretty near unplayable for me.

P.S. Feel free to add me to origin, username is even13.

[ViperAFK]

My only issue is server timeouts EVERY time I play, after like 15 minutes. So sick of all my ****ing unlock progress being lost because it loses connection and just shuts the game down.

Without fail, every match I've played has done this.

[rajputwarrior]

maybe it's just me, but anyone notice the hit detection problems? i swear i am head shooting some of these guys but it somehow does next to no damage with an m4 and ak... maybe the guns are just that bad...

[SimplySchizo]

I haven't experienced any connection losses at all.

The game did crash on me once, but that was about it.

Not sure on 'floaty' movement, but I have experienced alot of clipping issues.

Bodies being halfway into the ground for the most part.

For those having issues connecting.. if you're on FF, make sure NoScript isn't interfering.

[trag3dy]

I fixed the floaty movement by turning off the raw mouse input, which incidentally is supposed to remove any mouse acceleration.

I've encountered some more problems in my short time playing. First clipping through the ground is a major issue. And second, the bug that was present in MoH during it's beta where you would get stuck and couldn't do anything if you tried to chat before the game stuck is still present. I find that highly amusing and irritating too.

I so rather be playing Conquest!

Prone is lame. That's all I'm gonna say on the subject. :laugh:

[S00N3R FR3AK]

So the game loaded up fine for me the first time, died then went to change class and it froze up. Next try it froze up again, at this point it is late and I will just try again tomorrow night. I would hate having to miss this game because I can't run it but no way am i getting the console version.

[idioot]

Played a little yesterday :) Looks really good, other than a few crashes and bugs (crosshair, ironsights disappearing occasionally)

A bit harder to spot enemies than in BC2, and more recoil? Or maybe it's just because of starting weapons..

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I think the M4A1 is the cheapest weapon in the game. It has very low recoil and high accuracy when spraying. Also, the bug where you end up under the ground sucks.
