Would love a PS3 version. I know it's 5 times better on PC because of the type of players, but I can't afford a computer that could run it well enough to really enjoy.

i bought medal of honor but still havent recieved an e-mail....

but i bought a new desktop (needed a new computer anyway) and i'm stoked to run battlefield as my first true PC game!!

Click for larger image

amd hex core, 8gb ram, and raedon card yada-yada-yada, ended up being like 1200 which i dont think is too bad considering the system. Should last me a long time tho


i'll be on the beta on the 29th unless i get an e-mail

you had to buy the limited edition version, and most people call them six cores, not hex cores. i have one as well, if you arent overclocking it, you're doing it wrong.

I downloaded ths yesterday, shit is SICK. 

a little jumpy and that foxhole glitch near the first A objective is so annoying, but I'm loving this game.  Flechette rounds?  Sweet.  12ga grenades?  sex.  I can't wait to get into the meat of this game.

Oh, I know.  When I got stuck in the foxhole I'd just chill and rip a binger and wait for someone to kill me.  Not to worried about it, and I'm just stoked I get to play it and def wasn't bitching, just saying that one low spot is the only real gameplay issue I noticed.   

Betas are usually way more fucked up thatn that.  I'm impressed actually.

The bad company 2 beta was way worse than the bf3 beta. It also feels very MoH and MW2 which I don't really like. I also feel like they should have at least used a map that has vehicles in it. I know they have closed Caspian Boarder matches but man, vehicles are more or less the only selling point for me. Guaranteed I am never going to play metro after the full game is released.

haha yea im very sick of metro. But I think they decided to use the metro map without vehicles to keep everything simple. It makes people really focus on the fundamental aspects of the game. If you filter through all the whiners in the forms I think they are getting some good feedback on how various aspects needs to be tweaked. Hopefully the final product will represent this.

As far as it feeling like MW2 or MoH I think its mainly just because were missing the vehicle aspect and also metro is a small and very linear map. I like the new damage model. It rewards tactical play. In BC2 you could flank camping enemies and sometimes only be able to kill 1 because you have to unload your entire clip in him. My only problem is damage in BF3 seems to be inconstant and the hit box is off a little. Sometimes I have to shoot enemies in the head 2 or three times before they drop and sometimes I get 2 hit kills in the chest.

downloaded the beta and im very impressed with the map Metro. It's an extremely buggy beta and could have received some more internal testing before going public, but hey im not complaining.

It looks like they are putting much more effort into map design and im very happy about that, BC maps were shit compared to those in the rest of the series.

Unless you're doing HD video work or rendering stuff, you would've been better off going with something like the 965. Still, I'd kill for that rig.

It keeps saying the connection to EA was lost when I try it out. Anyone else get this message? Is it just because a bunch of people are trying to play right now?

You just download it.

I played it for about an hour. Never played BF before, but I picked it up pretty quickly. Not really my kind of play style though. I like rushing a bit more and if you rush in this you just get shot by some guy laying in a bush.

Yeah it's strange. The controls and gameplay mechanics are simple to use but the play style has a large learning curve. Rushing is hard because you need support.

The game is a steady progression as a team and is much slower than other FPSs. Stick with your squad and always be conscious of where you are on the map in relation to the where the enemies front line is and your front line is. The map metro is a long narrow map so you might reach a few stalemates (its annoying but happens). When that happens just keep pushing and one side will break and the progression will start up again.

What the learning curve is for most is learning how to break those stalemates. My advice is don't get caught up in the main big battles. Put yourself in the enemies' shoes and think what would be most retrograde to their advance (denying a key location, flanking a squad and eventually surrounding them, ect.).

Also SUPPORT YOUR TEAM. Just drop a medpack or ammo kit where needed, it isn't hard and helps out a lot

yeah bf has a way different play style than cod, cause in cod you can just run in and just shoot, but you need a plan and actually work together with teammates

It's pretty good, I managed to get into caspian a couple of times and it looks so nice and the vehicles are pretty cool, I haven't had the chance to fly yet unfortunately.

Yeah it's just the mind set. Once I actually get to spend time with the game I'm sure I'll figure out the play style and be more successful.

I kinda like it, and I find it very interesting.  Never played BF before but the two games that I did play I went 30/10 and 20/6.

yea, well the map that they give you isn't representative of what battlefield is really like. Metro plays a lot like COD.

Normally its more open range and epic battles.
