Battlefield 3 PC Discussion

Featured 25161 Views 1699 Posts PC Gaming
So I have heard that tonight or tomorrow, DICE is going to announce some news regarding BF3.

And I have also heard that this news will be about cross-platform gaming. Note that I didn't say multi-platform, I said cross-platform. :D

If they go ahead with this, it will be quite interesting. I haven't heard much of cross-platform initiatives since Microsoft called off their experiment after they found that mediocre PC gamers smashed great console gamers thanks to the advantages of keyboard and mouse.

If this does go ahead, though, then the push for first-party keyboard and mouse control on consoles will be very strong indeed, and consoles will come that much closer to becoming little PCs. ^_^
I just got emailed an early access beta key and I didnt get MOH, only pre-ordered BF3 on Origin [MOG]
Yay, just got mine [monkey]

Lot's of bug's at the moment, but it is a BETA.

That stupid website keeps crashing [Rage]
Downloading it now: games.on.net/...

It's only 4GB, wtf?
Andre, you get a beta invite or are you just hoping it'll work?

Doyl it happened to just about every retail owner of MoH, I bought the game from retail and they missed me too. :@

forum.ea.com/...

No Fraz, there was a window where *anybody* could get access to the beta.
I have MOH, but not the LE version but I missed the window.

Hoping, it's open beta so I shouldn't need a MoH key?

Im guessing Open Beta is 29th July 10pm AEST

Also it has been rumoured that Caspian Border may possibly be included in the open beta.
Yeah I've seen that floating around, wouldn't be surprised if they unleash it for the final day or two.

Would be good if this kicks off at midnight tonight but I highly doubt it.
considering the "closed" open beta was only unlocked last night, you'll be waiting til tomorrow night for sure.

Andre, I meant access to the early start of the open beta, but if you are just waiting til tommorrow night just ignore my question :)
Wow, Iv had to drop my graphics setting's alot to get a decent framerate. This things demanding on the ultra settings @_@

Speaking of, What a stupid way of doing things. You cannot get into the options to change video, sound, input settings from the main menu...... since there isnt one, but you cant change them from the spawn menu either.you need to spawn, find a safe place to hide, then change your settings [Facepalm]

There's 1 lonely "EA test server". It has a password on it and im yet to see any life in it.
Using a friends account to try out the beta.

It ran like absolute balls, then I got the newest drivers :P
ran superb after that on ultra, even though the beta is supposed to be limited to medium.
Looks good, plays good and is buggy as all hell.
Those who have played medal of honor will appreciate how the game feels moreso than people who have only played bf2 and bc2.

Elaborate, please?
It feels more like how moh plays rather than bc2.
... Floaty?

I was going to give the early beta key to my friend until you said that [Rage]

Now I have to see whether I'm going to ragesplode at this game!
Stupid question but does anyone have a spare key?

Just wait another day like I am.

It's not *that* bad.
the beta is way too glitchy with it's shameful lag and hit boxes that its hard to whinge about the movement of the characters.
The BETA's disappointing, too many COD fan boy's and retards winging about hackers and how EA have released an unfinished product...........

idiot's

Unfinished product? It is a Beta. This happened last time with BF:BC2, everyone complained about how shitty the Beta was and then it all turned out fine.

EDIT: Found this

DOES THIS BETA REPRESENT FINAL GAME QUALITY?
THE BETA IS NOT FINAL SOFTWARE AND UPDATES WILL BE DONE BOTH TO THE GAME AND TO THE BACK-END PRIOR TO THE BATTLEFIELD 3 LAUNCH. YOUR PARTICIPATION WILL STILL HELP US IMPROVE THE FINAL GAME.
