official Battlefield 3

[LOC Veteran]

This Battlelog garbage is HORRID. I know there are people who aren't having any issues joining games or launching the game etc through web page. But I'm not one of them now. And it's a real pain in the ass to try to play with friends through this right now. I don't know what DICE was thinking with this one honestly. They could still bundle Origin and all that stuff with the game without making the server browser etc all web based.

Bleh.

How are people finding performance on their various systems relative to the published requirements? Better than expected, about right?

[trag3dy]

Performance is way better than expected. I don't know if the settings are actually changing but I put everything on ultra and it ran just fine. No noticeable drop in fps. But like I said, I'm not sure if the settings are actually changing or not. Not sure if restarting the game is required to change graphic settings.

I turned off motion blur though and was hoping for an option to turn bloom off or tone it down some, but sadly that's the only option they didn't give us.

computer specs?

[Got3n]

I havent had any major issues, just the regular stuff needs to get fixed or added in. I also dont know if you can create your own squads yet or voice chat.

Definitely better than expected. I let the game set the settings. Looks like I am high on everything and med AA running 1920 x 1200 and it looks great and runs very smooth. I am sure there are more graphics to be seen on ultra but as it stands I am more than satisfied with the way it runs and looks.

i7 920, ATI 5850 Black Edition 6GB Ram Win 7 64 bit

I downloaded the beta drivers without issue.

game has so many bugs for my liking. i know its still beta but sheese , my gun becomes missing, i crash after 15 mins of playing

the game looks good but i will most likely play this on a console

You have a link to the Beta drivers.

I am having issues installing the newest official release. I gets to the point where it's installing the driver itself and does the turn your monitor on and off bit but the screens never come back on. I let it sit over night last night with no luck and had to hard reboot it this morning. I have tried 3 times with the exact same results.

My PC specs are as follows: i7 920 @ 3.8GHz, 6GB Ram, 2 x ATI Radeon HD5770, Windows 7 x64.

Well... since we're on the topic of performance right now and i'll most likely be waiting till tomorrow to play and see for myself, is there anyone here with a system similar enough to mine(in sig) that could give me an idea how it'll perform @ 1920x1080?

you have a computer better then mine and i can run the game at that res, graphics all set to high (HBOA set to off) with 4x AF/AA and it runs pretty good. I am also not using any of the new beta drivers out there that would help performance with this game. You should be more then fine.

also, battlelog alone is reason enough not to buy this game for me. soooo annoying. plus IMO this really is nothing special compared to bc2.

another beef i have, while cool, knifing takes way to long to do...

anyone still wanna bet me that this will outsell MW3 on PC?

I never posted about this last night but I should have, try turning off your AV software if you have any running. I literally tried for 20 minutes to join games, could not get into anything, just was stuck on joining game. Was getting really frustrated. I closed Firefox and Battlelog, turned off my AV, clicked on play in Origin, and I joined the first game i tried in less than 1 minute. Weird thing was I never had an issue with the Alpha, but for some reason turning off my AV completely worked. If you already have your AV off, not sure then.

Nope, don't have any AV or AS running. The system just sucks :p

Finding a US server is ****ing impossible right now. Literally every server with remotely acceptable ping is full 24/7. There's isn't even close to enough servers. They better have a massive capacity increase on the 29th or no one will be able to freakin play.

[Got3n]

I just sit there and hit enter a bunch of times on a good ping one till i get in lol, i even favorited the servers that have the lowest pings for me. I don't think ive had the issue of waiting for a server for more than 5 minutes.

[rajputwarrior]

i have honestly never had a problem looking for a server. hit quick match, find a server and it usually has a solid ping. never waited more then 30 seconds.

Where is everyone preordering this from? I would like to preorder the digital download, as I don't want to wait for a disc to ship to me. Is Amazon.com the key spot for preorders, or are there better places? I've used steam in the past, but thinking of going another route this time.

[SimplySchizo]

I preordered off Origin.

It's not available through steam.

And since Origin is mandatory requirement; Might as well knock out two birds with one stone and get it from the source..

I wonder how bad getting into a game will be after tomorrow...

[Singh400]

:D

[Got3n]

:D

Ha, what map was that on....haha j/k, i had a round like that, I almost hit the 6k points mark in one round, it was insane.

Getting into a Caspian Border game is almost impossible...

[rajputwarrior]

Getting into a Caspian Border game is almost impossible...

well yeah, you have a 1 in 128 chance to do it... you should PM me the password for the server though ;)

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Getting into a Caspian Border game is almost impossible...

Thats what I figured, especially thanks to the password being leaked.

What is messed up is I saw a member of the site yesterday playing Caspian Border, the server he was on had 27/64 people, sent him a message through Origin asking him for the password, and he refused to give it up like he was going to get in trouble or some ****.

Even more messed up, I was asked to join his clan, which I decided why not and did a few weeks back, So yeah, not only was it a fellow Neowinian, but a quote on quote "clan mate." Told me to hop on teamspeak so I could then be invited. I said no thanks. Not only did I think it was real messed up, but seriously immature. Needless to say, I am no longer in that clan. :rofl:

[killmaster84]

Dice have out the password...but eh I'll PM it.
