I just hope that issue I'm getting with the PS3 version is limited to the demo...or somebody will have money for me gad-dammit. :/

...and yeah, a mic is a must.  I say, just get a proper gaming headset and done.

Arc ah still cannot convince myself to buy a pricey headphones, yeah ah know the sound quality bess but I happy with my home theater setup :p

The Plantronics Voyager 520 Bluetooth Headset would also be a decent alternative if you just want a cheap wireless voice solution on the PS3. And of course it can be used for phone calls on cell as well :p


Edit: As Wyatt pointed out you can get the official BT PS3 Headset for $10 more. I got it as well it works great.

Nice find

[TriniXaeno]

like this? (see attached)

Woodyear, I bought the original PS3 bluetooth headset for only a few dollars more than the plantronics. Why not just go with the real deal holyfield?

BF will be a PC buy for me either way.....and already got a 5.1 headset on that platform. Yay for no additional hardware spend.

I still think a real 5.1 speaker setup is better given my experience with the headphones but then it wreaks havoc on your mic. Guess you can't have the best of both worlds.

[woodyear99]

Yeah I edited my post was just thinking along the lines of saving money in these cash strapped times :p, but yeah I like the offical BT PS3 mic.

[Doomtack]

Beta patch is out

"This update is about performance and stability again. We are not doing any changes to the game's datafiles.

    * Reduced input "lag"
      On machines where the CPU would out-run the GPU, sometimes the GPU would queue up several frames' worth of rendering commands.
      This could lead to the game having a high framerate, but input still feeling very sluggish.

    Now there's a limiter on how many frames the CPU is allowed to be "ahead" of the GPU.
    Control this setting via Settings.ini. Default setting: RenderAheadLimit=2

    * Performance optimizations with biggest improvements on dual-core machines
    * Fixed black "masks"
          o The soot on buildings with holes in them had a bugged renderpath. We switched that over to a more well-tested renderpath.
    * Improved hit-detection
          o We've gone through the hit detection logic, and client+server will now give more consistent results.
    * Fix for some "rubberbanding" issues
          o C4 should stay attached to vehicles and not rubberband around
    * Reduced spikes/dips in framerate
    * Various fixes for alt+tab related CTD on Dx9
    * More fixes for random CTD on Dx9
    * Fix for crash when you're in a vehicle that gets destroyed

    There was a race condition in the code;
    System 1 thought "oh hey, you're leaving vehicle X"
    System 2 thought "the vehicle got destroyed, let's remove it"

    If system 2 ran before system 1, chaos would ensue.
    This was actually fixed in the retail version since a month, but it was only when we got detailed crash reports from the community that we understood *why* the Beta was crashing.

Likely bugs in this build
I wouldn't be surprised if it (still) has trouble remembering your settings between rounds. It would be nice to have that fixed too, but it's better to get a patch out now, and look at the settings issues afterward.
