Battlefield 3

I've racked up about 15 hours so far, have to say this is above my beta expectations, seen a few benchmarks posted around the web suggesting you need top kit to get good frame rates maxed out, but my own experience proved that wrong, it seems pretty fluid and once they sort out the server crash issues I'm sure it will be just about perfected for multiplayer on the main game. So far haven't come across and other bugs or glitches.

It's not all perfect in the co-op mode however, noticed a few silly glitches...

1. Can't shoot through the barriers on bridge once the metal sheeting is blown off, yet enemy can, on mission 1.
2. No option to select ho will be pilot/gunner on mission 2, which is very annoying as my co-op mate can't fly for crap.

My PC can run it at about 25 fps if I'm lucky, so I'm stuck with the good old 30 FPS Xbox

What did you think of the campaign (if you did it yet?). It really didn't live up to my expectations. I was hoping it would have a story similar in immersion and emotion as MoH 2010, but DICE failed to create an entertaining experience yet again. Though the second half of the campaign is definitely better than the first. Speaking of MoH, there's an insert in every console copy shipped teasing the next game, it's also a new "patch", indicating something new is to come. A little more info can be found on the MoH website. Personally, I can't wait to continue the campaign.


What's your U/N on Battlelog? Perhaps I'll hop into a game with you someday on PC

Have to say the BF3 campaign left me a bit down, was expecting something more like the BadCo2 single player... but the short chaptered levels in BF3 while graphically epic, left me a bit cold story wise, much like all the rival franchise has since MW1, suppose can't really complain, the main meat of the game is multiplayer and thats nothing short of amazing, plus I've never bought a BF title for single player ever before... so can't really blame them for tacking it on for the COD converts to get used to.

as for benchmarks, getting a steady 50+ fps on a mix of high and ultra settings so that'll do until I upgrade in spring, also if you have a AMD DX11 card, I suggest limit the Tessalation on catalyst manually to about 6x on the offchance they over-rendered it like in Crysis 2 (which made Nvidia get faked higher benchmarks scores using hidden water under the whole levels etc) when using character mesh on ultimate.

Oh theres ment to be a new AMD driver out monday for it as well, currently using 11.10 beta 3 previews and runs well enough.

On Origin/BF3 I'm "Highway72" btw

also found some inside information on how they made the game here... some interesting videos

I've also noticed that the server you play on have a massive impact on the frame rates in-game too, so if the game is sluggish (not laggy) try a different low populated server and see if things improve...

They did fire up a server side fix to solve lag on Tehran highway and whatever other map it was.

theres beena flood of fixes since then, it's about 99% fixed now

Can't wait to fire this baby up. I got a copy on Ebay for $35.00. Got it installed and thought I was ready to go but no what's it downloading now? AAGH! a 3.9 GB patch! and I have the slowest DSL connection on the planet, guess I can wait another day heck I bought a steam code for "RAGE" (21 GB's) I've been downloading it for a week and I'm only up to 37%.

I have played all the variant of Battlefield game and it is my most favorite action games. I am looking for update of Battlefield three thanks for sharing it in this thread.

EA/DICE announced a while ago three will be three more definite expansions for Battlefield 3, the first launching in June:



After that there will be "Armored Assault" in the fall, and "End Game" in the winter.

the game didnt ran in my probook
