official Battlefield 3

[gkl]

I was able to finally "fix" the unmappable mouse button using Logitech's Setpoint software. And what a world of difference do decent controls make! I still play waaaaay below par on what I consider acceptable but I'm getting there. Next step - purchasing a HD6950. :D

Does anybody else dislike the high damage model? I feel like I'm constantly required to either couch or jump into prone or else my chances of survival are practically nonexistent...

I want to play Caspian so bad, but I kind of want that to be a release date treat for myself.

Are you saying you cant map mouse 4/5 to something unless you use the mouse software?

Yes, you are not able to remap mouse keys within the game. A beta bug that imo shouldn't have been there.

[Blackhearted]

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.

Sounds good. (Y)

It was so much fun, although now it seems the password changed.

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.

I just Googled BF3 Ati beta drivers. There were several links.

[NoLiMiT06]

Any word on what time the open beta will be available for the 360?

[Vice]

If anyone hasn't yet upgraded their drivers here are the Battlefield 3 Optimised drivers for NVIDIA and ATi graphics cards. These are the official releases from NVIDIA and ATi they haven't been modified by any 3rd party.

Quite a big performance increase for you NVIDIA owners (38% according to NVIDIA)

ATi v11.10 (32 & 64-bit, Vista / 7): http://downloads.gur...nload-2795.html

NVIDIA v285.38 (32-bit, Vista / 7): http://downloads.gur...nload-2793.html

NVIDIA v285.38 (64-bit, Vista / 7): http://downloads.gur...nload-2794.html

NVIDIA v285.38 (32-bit, XP): http://downloads.gur...nload-2792.html

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, here's an awesome Battlefield 3 montage by Sgt. Enigma. You may know him for his Bad Company 2 montages.

@gkl: Nice to see you and kill you :D

[Singh400]

Also I've made a Neowin platoon on BF3. Feel free to join it. It'll be a nice and easy way for all of us to play together. Plus we can compare stats easily.

Is it possible to be in more than one platoon? I have my own for a few friends^^

@gkl: Nice to see you and kill you :D

Oh you can laugh now but wait till I get used to the map, slow movement, high weapon damage and jumping into prone. :p

[Cyplex]

Good idea Singh400!!

I requested to join the platoon. :)

[Singh400]

Played some Caspian border and all I saw was this:-

FU jets for wrecking my gameplay.

Yeah I'm a member of four platoons at the moment.

Dude, I swear down if you go prone you'll never hear the end of it from me. I hate proners. With a fricking passion.

Good idea Singh400!!

The password was leaked but has since been changed.

[Dusco25]

Very disappointing.. To me it is all the same...

LUCKY! is all I have to say. Metro is boring and only for attracting CoD players IMO since you can easily camp... :(

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Sent the request for the Neowin platoon, although I really hope they reset the stats once the retail game comes out, I have really just been messing with my graphics settings more than anything else, so my K/D ratio is horrid. Not like it will be much better when the final game is released, but it is truly awful now. I can pretty much guarantee once tanks are involved though, I will put up a damn good fight for that top tank driver though.
