Battlefield 3

[EmperorXavier]

yeah i too am very pleased with the game play and my rig handling it very well on ultra with frames ranging from 39-50.. i'm happy with the results.. just need to adapt to the shooting which is very different from BC2... but at the end of the day this game is really above and beyond the call

[Spazosaurus]

Less than a month left!!!!!

[Arcmanov]

LOL @ 'non extravagant setups '

I feel that one is for someone in particular. 



...and even more LOL @ 'above and beyond the call '.

Stop it...stop it now. 

[EmperorXavier]

Boom!!

hahahha @ much too good for little chirren

Alyuh enjoy, I'll wait my 27 days for final code.

Enjoy the head start. Cause is level pellet when the game release.

Only reason you waiting because u can't run it lol

look who talkin Mr dual core... my vantage score beat urs eh.....

While a few of us may be enjoying this beta... I am seeing a very troubling situation
developing on EA's forums regarding lots of folks who pre-ordered the game on Origin,
expecting early beta access, but are yet to receive a code. 

Come ON EA...in 2011?  :/

I simply cannot believe that they could bungle something like this.
Wouldn't they have known how many pre-orders there were? ...and from whom?

Imagine, EA customer support is telling people to 'contact us in four hours'...AFTER
waiting up to THREE hours in some instances to connect to an agent.

Madness.  I vex and is not even me, because it's undermining the hype and excitement
many have had in anticipation for this.

Goddamn it EA.  You're taking every opportunity to stick it to Activision,
and can't get your own house in order?

I know its only 'two days', but it could be mighty important for a great many people.


I think we all want BF3 to succeed, but like EA trying very hard for it not to.

I'm not impressed by that.  At all.

I'm not surprised, EA's usual crappy excuses. They too busy scrambling to get the game out, thats what that is. I'm afraid of what the final product will be.

Virtue raised an interesting thought though....if Anonymous were to get pissed off and decide to hack the crap out of Origin, I wonder what Awesome and Notnice will do with BF3 out of comission...LOL

That's a no brainer. The most obvious thing would be to fly up Sweeden on the next available flight, primary whip and spare whip in tow and get to work.

Yes, I have to agree with Arc on this. It is highly slack of them to not be able to perform the simple task of sending out early invites to those customers they made a promise to. I doh care if is two HOURS early access. They used the early access as a selling point for MOH and BF3 and did not deliver to many.

I hope someone sues them for that gross lack of respect for their customers, make them know that is totally NOT ok and never make that mistake again.

Yep. I personally know of 5 people all in the industry who have had this issue. They have all been console related:( someone actually had his Origin account for XBOX duped onto another persons gamertag, he got the key and not my buddy. After 2 hrs on the phone with support, he still didnt get his key.

This has NOTHING to do with Dice, this is straight up Origin....which is 15 mins down the road here by Visceral and Crystal Dynamics. Anyone want to trow stale doubles at them, now is the time to send it up:)

The day that FPS fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. The closed Beta for premier FPS Battlefield 3 has finally opened. The internet has been awash with rumors that the game’s consoles ports will feature inferior graphics in comparison with Battlefield 3′s PC version. Unfortunately it seems from the first few screenshots to hit the internet that the rumors have proved to be true. Certainly from shots coming from XBox 360 Beta testers, Battlefield 3 appears to be suffering from low resolution textures.

expected looks like I will have to get me a pc later this year for this

[Spazosaurus]

That's the spirit Jarrox.

Its important to note, though that the same people who find Black Ops graphics on the console "good enough" will often try to bemoan bf3 graphics on said system. I openly call anyone who falls into the above category, MASSIVELY hypocritical.

Even the console versions of bf3, I am CERTAIN, looks way better than any 'Call' both released and unreleased.

That said, there's no need for me be cpt obvious and state the obvious. Low res textures are EXPECTED on the current gen console. Live with it or buy a pc.

Case closed.

That was a rumor? So people were actually expecting PC level graphics on console....why? I actually think the console version looks great and i've read good thing about the PS3 version.  

It should be common knowledge by know that a console does not have the graphical prowess of a good PC, but I don't think a blurry sandbag should make u run for a PC for just one game.

[Spazosaurus]

Nurse, get this man a PC...STAT!!!

[Jarrox]

I don't think a blurry sandbag should make u run for a PC for just one game.

Not just for this but to also get some of the great deals I've been seeing lately on steam, I already have almost 40+ 360 games...do the math, maybe I can save some $$ by getting a PC

oh awesome that's y ur my buddy.. xbox... oh plz!!!! they really expected any better.. dice said for themselves that they couldn't do much with the consoles.. dam cry babies.

[EmperorXavier]

LMAO!! sorry i can't get over this i'm sorry but... wow that image looks like a PS 1 game footage, i have seen the apple IPad with better graphics than that lmao!!! oh lawd......tear! sigh!

[ViCe]

played it on PS3
console graphics are good
gameplay is good
teamwork suffers thanks to dice yet again, mics arent workin on the beta and party size still limited to 4..........and ppl wonder why i complain about their messiah dice

all the makings of a great game hindered by 2 key things that limit teamwork
lets hope the full game isnt like this because this "beta" only has less than a month to go

PS: epic fail that i gotta go on the PC to create a platoon for PS3, thankfully full game will have battlelog integrated into console version

[Notnice]

thankfully full game will have battlelog integrated into console version

Wrong  battlelog is not coming to the console i heard
