good job on the emblem scrizz! :)

[Frick]

why not atleast a 6870?

Its all about the money,
its all about the dum dum duh dee dum dum.

My budget is tight enough as it is and in reality I cannot afford this card anyway. And I'm not a hardcore gamer, games today are not good enough for that. And there's a a¤¤load of other stuff I need as well for my new apartment, I have to fix the car etc etc.

[H82LUZ73]

Anyone getting BF3.exe errors and false positive from you anti virus ?

Anyone getting BF3.exe errors and false positive from you anti virus ?

i was with avira, but avira gives me false positives on EVERYTHING , so take it with a grain.

[erocker]

Graphics settings location? Anyone?

[digibucc]

esc when you're in game, haven't found it anywhere else. esc is disabled loading and in between games it seems.

Game is pretty fun. Metro is easy, hide in brush, shoot people. Regarding graphics, playing on ultra. Not sure how.

i don't think low -> ultra makes a difference. they did that with bc2 beta right?

Edit: Loving the select-able fire. Semi and full auto on the engineer kit.

2nd edit: Lens scope glare is so much better! I can finally see those damn f&**&s!!!!

3rd edit: Pretty fun. My team (attackers) just rolled the entire map. Once outside things get pretty whack (in a good way!).

This Origin/EA piece of s**t. Preordered in time. No mail no nothing. I opened an incident ticket but all my hopes are lost for today. Paid 15 Euros more than for a preorder from D2D

scratch that last post I made. I think its cause everyone loggin on this time of day. I finally got in

[thepants1337]

So I'm running

Core i5 2500k @ 4.4ghz
8 gb ram (1866 speed)
SSD on SATA 6GB/s
2x Sapphire 6870 AMD 11.1 preview drivers
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Do you think I will be able to do Ultra @ 1920x1080?

[CDdude55]

Good Beta, though there are some highs and lows that i'll probably be giving as feedback( considering thats what Betas are for lol)

It could be only in the Beta but the physics destruction isn't what i fully expect originally, as i was expecting a near fully destructible environment, i would shoot the columns and they'd break but the walls would only show a small bullet indentation like every other game, the water had barley any animations at all either, i'd shoot it and a small sprinkle of water would come up:laugh:.

But that's all probably just early renditions for the Beta. One glitch i noticed was that sometimes the gun the other play is holding(like then you die and see the player that killed you), their gun is floating in the air in front of their body, doesn't happen all the time though. Another issue i saw was before respawning after you i killed, instead of showing who killed me the camera pointed to the sky and was ''twitching'' all over the play until i deployed again.

The game also feels not as demanding as people here hyped it up to be, ran on Ultra with my 470 and 1055T, ran smooth as butter.

It's a very fun game, though nothing insanely new or groundbreaking, felt sort of like BC2 rush but with more of everything, and it's a lot more detailed. I'm really eager to try out the 64 player maps!:)

Oh ya and Battlelog annoyed the shit out of me.
-I'd be surprised if anyone actually read this instead of ignoring it to focus on the community troll or arguing about rumors posted on the front page lol.

I was just posting a video of some gameplay from someone I sub to on youtube. I just don't like how "future warfare" it is. It looks like a mix of MOH and cod.

They game looks different, but in a bad way. It still has some of the key things that BBC2 had, but the graphics just look too cartoony and the HUD looks like some bad movie about future warfare. I for one liked BBC2 because it was so realistic (graphics and gameplay wise). This just looks like EA threw MOH stuff in.

I don't care about the glitches, everygame does you can't expect the developers to test every single thing, I'm just saying that the little things like the HUD, the animation of you jumping over things, and how cartoony it looks just makes me not like it. It might just be that map, but I remember Battlefield 2 being more dark and realistic.

Did you play the alpha?

the graphics should be essentially the same. play the game first instead of crappy footage.

[TacoTown]

Did you play the alpha?

I did play the alpha, I got about 3 or 4 hours of gameplay, I didn't like it then and I just said it was because it was a alpha. You're getting really mad for someone on the Internet stating their opinion about a game.

[CDdude55]

The graphics look great very vibrate colors mixed with great animations, so i disagree with that.

I actually do agree a bit with that reviewer guy in the sense of the similarities with BC2, the mechanics are overall the same with a good amount of tweaks, but the essence of it was didn't change much from BC2, but that's mainly because it's not a new mode and really what more do you expect from a first person military game?, it's not easy to innovate when the basis of the game is similar to the previous iteration, they built from what they already knew.

I do agree that if you hated BC2 you will probably hate BF3 also, again, it's fairly similar framework sprinkled with a different sauce on top.

[the54thvoid]

Been playing a few times now and find it nothing like COD. COD was way too sterile. This is more noisy and chaotic, like BFBC2 felt like when i first played it. Not noticed any cartoony gfx when i was playing.

Did notice all 4 cores on my 920 were at 60+ degrees and on highest settings it's gobbling up 1400+ RAM.

I think if you like BC2, you'll like this. As for BFBC2 being more realistic, I disagree. So far the Metro map is vicious, dangerous and noisy. Like it should be.

[f22a4bandit]

I think it's much improved on movement compared to BC2, but that's just me. I actually enjoy the HUD, and the fact that you can zoom in or out to view the area you're in, or the direction of the next objective. I think it's far from a futuristic game, this is a modern day shooter.

They've essentially ganked sniping a cool degree by adding the lens flare, actually adding some realism to the game. The lighting is much better with the new Frostbite engine, and I can't wait to see the new Destruction 3.0 engine in full effect. I don't think you can fully judge a game just based on a video.

I'm "mad" because you are basing it all on a video. hold off until you play the open beta on thursday which, is free.

[Lt_JWS]

Just played the beta on X360 for about 3 hours.... i must say im very impressed, its alot of fun even if its not conquest. Looking forward to Thursday to play it on PC!

[TUngsten]

I've only just become addicted to BF/BC2 after having watched some of the beta videos from BF3...

I think the outdoor/park areas look a bit too verdant, but the metro/city/interior spaces and maps look absolutely amazing. I can't wait to play, and wish I didn't suck so hard at team/squad FPS games.

To each his own, but you do have a point with the snipping, that is a very good feature that they have added to help with the people that always camp in the back and snipe. The destruction does look kinda good, (E.X. when the whole side of the building came off) I might change my mind when the full game comes out, but this is the same way I felt when gameplay of BLOPS came out and look how that COD came out...

Really Kevin you can'y judge based on one map with essentially no vehicles. And a beta to boot.

[f22a4bandit]

All very well said. And that lens flare is fantastic. I saw it and thought, "that's not... it is.." and i shot the bastard!

I think in a close quarters map like Metro, it'll deter the number of people who select the sniper class. However, in a map like Caspian that's (hopefully) huge, you'll see the number start going up because the lens flare won't be as noticeable.

Another feature that I really enjoy is the selectable firing rate. You'll notice that the recoil goes WAY down when you're on semi-auto, and gives you an edge if you've noticed a sniper before he's noticed you.

The bullet ricochet is another feature that is welcomed. In close quarters, that can decide the outcome of an intense 2 v 1 or 2 v 2 situation. I first noticed it when I shot a few rounds on auto into the train and one came bouncing back to hit me. It's not a high amount of damage, but you notice the impact. After that, I took care on where I turned up the heat.

Yes. I was very disappointed when i started the game up and it bought me to the battlelog site, i really wish everything was integrated in game and not on some shitty web page.

Unfortunately i believe it will remain in the full game too and not just the beta.:(

I hope not. The disjointed feels strange and wrong. Plus it leaves your browser open while you play. So if you start a game after a long web stint, it will eat into your RAM. Its no big deal unless you are like me and watch 7 or 8 web videos which ends with your browser using 700 MB of RAM. That is no joke.

The log and stat tracking is great, but needs more detail, better explanations, and minor tweaking.

As we get into the afternoon time, the game is getting much more laggy than when I first started around 11:00. It is unplayable for me now and that pisses me off a little.

[erixx]

To who said Europe is forgotten. No sir. But I preordered BF3 on D2Drive (unrelated) and bought MOH on Steam, and Steam gave me the code this evening.
Anyway it is one map. How funny all the Male-Hysteria for this beta, haha. It is ok. Just ok and just one map. We are working for free for a beta team and even payed for it, for sure these times are strange.

Ah, I love Paris, but I miss the atmosphere. A garden park and then a metro subway. The Resistance ... well was a whole other game.... Is there a Rescue Edith Piaf mission? ;)

The game wants to put me into servers in Austrailia all the time for some reason. I finally connected to a US server and it was lag free. I'm not of fan of facelog/battlebook either.

The beta seems buggier than the alpha. Other than that it plays like the alpha only it has the added pos battlelog. So far, not impressed. When things are working correctly it's fun.

True, the problem was he had not played the beta. Instead he had relied on footage someone else posted. I know the beta would be buggy especially with all the work they have done on the game. I know they were going to be updating the game everyday of the beta so hopefully the game will improve enough to be enjoyable to play before the Beta ends.

no, I connected with a server that had less than 30 ping, was great at first, but became bogged down as I kept playing (was full the whole time) I think EA's back-end is causing issues as well.

in the end, I was insta-killed 10 times in a row, and rage-quit.

You can open it in notepad but its a bitch to make out.

If anyone knows were the key bindings are please post up.

[newbsandwich]

Yes, please make that config Utility, i found it very annoying in the alpha, don't know why they made it like that.

Sent a bunch of friend requests out, hopefully i'll get into the beta, been on hold with EA support for an hour now. Finally talked to a guy, and is working with me and my D2D pre-order. Anybody else want to add me, i'm under newbsandwich

If your running Kaspersky or any othe anti-virus/firewall - add BF3.exe to the exclusions. that fixed the problem for me

[Wrigleyvillain]

Gully you're one of those special people with the pass to the Caspian Border servers aren't you? :p

[1Kurgan1]

just unlock the flechettes or explosive shotty rounds and fire down the tunnel. It'll be a crap shoot.

That might work, but this was right when most people got their codes i nthe AM, and the sniper rifles seem to kill 1 shot to the body, with him being a long way down the tunnel and crouched, blind firing shotguns down there, most of the shot won't even hit him.

what's your origin name kurgan?

[PVTCaboose1337]

I have perfected the best strategy... ever.

My basic theory was to somehow rush the enemy and be successful, as usually the defender has an advantage. Enter the flashlight. Pretty much I see an enemy, aim the flashlight at him, and then run around him spamming the F key. If more than 1 enemy is present I just push F while aiming the flashlight at the person I am not currently knifing. So far nobody has been smart enough to look away from the white light.

@TheMailMan78
I've went through that config file.. and low and behold they have "AimAssist 1 " (So aimassist is ON!). XBox360 and PS3 players have aimassist because they use controllers.. I don't like that the so called lead platform has a controller config file....

[cadaveca]

I don't like that the so called lead platform has a controller config file....

Meanwhile, people like me that have injuries that prevent use of keyboard and mouse at the same time are greatful that controller support is included.

:rolleyes:

Sorry Dave! It's great that they have controller support. I'm not complaining about that.. I just wish they would disable aim assist when the user is using the keyboard... Or at least give the option for the player to disable aimassist in settings. The only game i've ever seen to give you the option to disable aim assist was the 1st half-life and the 1at Tf game using the Half-Life engine.

Some are saying (http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037802492&postcount=6993) the different graphics options make little difference. Maybe they are not working in the beta? (Sort of like having the Mouse in the keybinding menu. They built the menu, but didn't finish the code behind the menu)

Tuesday, 27 September 2011 00:00

Starting today, we are happy to invite eligible players to early access of the much anticipated Battlefield 3 (http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3) Open Beta!

We want to thank everyone for their interest in this Open Beta. Just by joining, you will help us stress test servers, allow us to run important tests on the game’s back-end, and find potential issues to track.

We would also like to invite you to leave any feedback to us at DICE via the forums in the social platform Battlelog (http://battlelog.battlefield.com/). Remember that this software is in Beta and does not represent final quality. By giving us your valuable feedback on your Open Beta experience, you are helping us gather ideas for where to focus our efforts, either for launch day or for upcoming updates for Battlefield 3.

If you are eligible to early access (by registering a first-hand copy of Medal of Honor: Limited Edition/Tier 1 Edition, or by pre-ordering Battlefield 3 digital download PC version on Origin), you should have received your personal invitation via email by now. If not, please check your spam filter or reach out to our customer service (http://help.ea.com/).

The Battlefield 3 Open Beta will be open to all on September 29th. For a full FAQ on the Open Beta and how the early access works, head here (http://www.battlefield.com/beta).

Once again, we are very happy to be up and running and seeing the server activity graphs point straight to the skies.

Return here during the period of the Open Beta (ends October 10th) for regular updates on what is happening in the game, what feedback we have gathered, and what new features and fixes we are implementing based on your feedback.

Thanks for your help!

I have no idea if i'm the only one experiencing this, but it'll run just fine then bang, HUGE performance drops. Start to smooth out again, then again drop. Back and forth.

And then it disconnects on me. Maybe 'cause i'm using crossfire? Any multi-gpu members having trouble or is it just a laggy/buggy battlelog?

OK I can't find where to make control and video adjustments.
I'm playing with out being able to duck, or prone.

You have to join a server, and spawn on the map before you can hit ESC to see the menus.

Z = prone
Left Ctrl = crouch (I think)

[GullyFoyle]

Gully you're one of those special people with the pass to the Caspian Border servers aren't you? :p

Nope, not me. I do see three guys from Battlefieldo.com on one of them, though.

I have this. Poor optimization I guess.

I also have massive graphics artifacts sometimes when playing, never had it happen before this game! Looks to be the NVIDIA drivers however!

[H82LUZ73]

Well I finally got it working ,Been playing the last 2 1/2 hours,Managed to find out the 11.10 drivers were the cause of my troubles, Also set my fanspeed for my cards to 50% and got in a game with erocker,Then wham they over heated :banghead: :nutkick::roll: So that was my fault.:slap:
Anyway if your having troubles do this Select in the Origins settings to install on another HD and it should work,Also try the 11.8 cats.that is what i did.

[Volkszorn88]

Hmm i'll try out 11.8 to see how it runs.

, but I must be the last to get my code, and since I own MoH LE I think I should have received two.

no I think i'm the last one, still no beta code for me if anyone have a spare key and can give it to me I'll be very grateful ...

It's a shame it took so long to download, because I got all of 6 minutes of gameplay. I was on a highish ping server, but I was pretty damn impressed with the visuals. I'm going to be on for sure tomorrow and tweak the settings.

I've been waiting in line on Origin help thingie for about half an hour so far.

[MT Alex]

It was the Origin Live Help. For awhile I thought maybe I was caught in a loop or it had frozen because the message had popped up so many times it was hard to tell if new ones were coming up.

[Scrizz]

yeah. My reaction when I set it to ultra was disappointment.
The lighting is awesome, but the textures and some models left a lot to be desired.
Then I thought it might be like the BC2 beta in that they haven't unlocked all the eye candy until it goes GOLD.
:D

[TheLaughingMan]

Are you read for some screenshot!

Fell through the world is northeast of A at the first defense. A single hand grenade and permanent glitch: http://img.techpowerup.org/110928/Drop%20the%20World.jpg

Next up is what the MK11 Mod 0 default sniper rifle looks like with no scope: http://img.techpowerup.org/110928/No%20Scope%20Sniper.jpg

Please not the above is not the resolution I play at. I play at 1920 x 1080. The settings for the images was at Medium and looks pretty damn good to me.

And final verdict on graphical settings. For my setup "See sig" 4x MSAA gives your 30 to 42 FPS. Turn that down to 2x gets you up to 45 to 56, and off gets you a consistent 57 to 68. On all Medium, the game still looks great and better than most games, so I recommend High settings with MSAA on 2x or Off for a HD 5850.

[1Kurgan1]

Of names, Greven il Vec is pretty damn stellar.

Yeah, can't go wrong with Greven. But my sons name is Greven, so since he has been born I haven't used the name as much as I use too. The similarities in personality between The Kurgan and Greven are close anyways and both are badass.

Next up is what the MK11 Mod 0 default sniper rifle looks like with no scope

That gun is retarded, that and the SVD seem to 1 shot kill even to the body. Seems they need a little tweaking, they are stupid good.

[raptori]

whats up with Ranking speed I've seen someone on battlelog with 7h 37m playing time and his rank is 36

[TheLaughingMan]

That gun is retarded, that and the SVD seem to 1 shot kill even to the body. Seems they need a little tweaking, they are stupid good.

It is just like the Sniper Rifles in BC2. At a certain distance, that works. What makes it cheap is both are semi-auto and default weapons. Medium to long range takes 2 or 3 (or 1 headshot).

And Greven people: http://www.dragonbreath.nl/images/Commander%20Greven%20il-Vec.JPG

whats up with Ranking speed I've seen someone on battlelog with 7h 37m playing time and his rank is 36

They artificially did that to test some stuff with their employees and company testers.

[DanishDevil]

Is there an easier way to show FPS than running another program like FRAPS?

I f*cking love the MK11 with an Acog and a Grip for medium-range sniping, but I'm starting to get good with the SV98.

[1Kurgan1]

Yeah, but none of the semi auto Rifles in BC2 would 1 shot (I don't even think they 1 shot to the head, but I could be wrong there), even at point blank to the body. I'm watching guys 1 shot me at 20 - 30 yards body shots, not at all balanced, considering how mobile they are and accurate without needing to aim down a scope.

Good thing it's in beta. Hopefully it wont take DICE a billion years to patch/balance the obvious over powered weapons.

In BC2, they took their sweet ass time patching the AN-94 and M60.

[1Kurgan1]

Good thing it's in beta. Hopefully it wont take DICE a billion years to patch/balance the obvious over powered weapons.

Lets hope. The ranged power of those guns is fine, but close range, is just stupid. If it was a true Sniper Rifle that had horrible hip firing accuracy, I would be fine with a close range 1 shot, but neither of those guns are like that.

[TheLaughingMan]

I don't know if that has been addressed, but you do not get any of your free unlocks in the Beta. No vet M1911, no Limited edition bonuses, etc. Everything but the M1911 can be unlocked the normal way, but the DAO 12 Gauge is a long ways off in the general weapons group.

[1Kurgan1]

I haven't tried the 870 yet, or even really looked at the other open weapons, DAO should be fun though. Is there only the 870 and the DAO for shotguns?

[Killer_Rubber_Ducky]

The Flechette rounds are wicked!!:rockout:
They have a lower damage potential than buckshot :confused: but have the ability to penetrate armor and have a deeper penetration overall.

Odd thing is that I killed 3 people with the flechette rounds like ~20 feet away when zoomed in. Just aim for the upper body and BAM!!! 1-2 shots only. i was also hitting people 50-100 feet away i didnt kill them but I still hit them. that is something you will have a hard time doing with the buckshot.:toast:

Will matter if they actually do projectile drop for buckshot and flechette. Since BC2 didn't have it, on Arica Conquest, 2 times I ended the round and the server announced I had the longest headshot kill (both times right around 250m), and the only gun I used for those rounds was the Usas-12 and Extended clip. I was playing with highway and a few others from TPU the first time it happened. All I could figure is I must have been firing at someone close and someone was extremely injured along ways away and got killed by buckshot that passed my target, still pretty funny, if I seen then on my kill cam I would have called hacks.

[caleb]

I almost canceled my preorder when I came in contact with that browser. Its very very poor that the game starts in windowed mode and when I saw "You cannot join the server because its full" i just lolled that it doesn't queue. They should really port the console browser for PC and give us a choice which one to use.

Can't say much about the game with 30 mins of play but close combat really calls for the ability to peek and it could really own. There were multiple situations in that metro map where I so wanted to press E to peek.

I am so jelly, I want to play so bad T_T ... by the way has anyone tested to see if having more cores benefits your performance in BF3 so far? This is the major thing I am truly curious about.

can anyone (who took a BF3 beta backup via Origin) upload the installer files apart from punkbuster,directx,vc folders cause I got a backup from my friend but he forget to tick "keep game installer ... " so no proper installer files with the backup and it'll take huge time to download the whole beta from the beginning .... thanks.

Hey Wiverex, I'm in Romania, preordered and all but nothing. As for chat with EA didn't manage to get through yesterday, opened and incident wait for reply but I lost all my hopes. Thinking of canceling my preorder since there's no advantage to it and I'll buy from other e-tailer. Steam is a dream compared to this origin debacle.

I am so jelly, I want to play so bad T_T ... by the way has anyone tested to see if having more cores benefits your performance in BF3 so far? This is the major thing I am truly curious about.

I think it must because I have my 6870 on Ultra and no problems. Kind of funny I loaded the game on my DLP which runs at 780P and the new Nvidia driver (beta) says it doesn't support 1366x768 anymore so I have to run it at 1024x768. At that resolution it won't allow you to crank up the Graphic settings at all. It stays at the default high setting. Still looks decent, but not Great like the 1080P on Ultra. I'm hoping once Nvidia fixes the beta version of that driver they make you use that it will allow me to go back to 1366x768. My 6870 has some flashing going on during battle, outside mostly. I'm hoping AMD is working on driver issues for their cards and this game. Sounds like some of the Xfire guys are having even more issues.
I only have an hour in battle though. I was on a few good servers early and had a 1.00 K/D and then got on some crappy ones later in the evening and now I'm back down to my usual .50 spot:) I do enjoy the game except the flashlights blinding you and lack of being able to see much of anything in the subway. I really struggle on Dark maps.That is why I played about 1/4 of Metro 2033 and quit.

Could try what digi did, if you can manage to talk to someone on EA's end. He got early access with a D2D pre-order, granted by the time you even get a hold of someone at EA it might be the 29th anyways :laugh:

You are? How?

Higher kills per minute, lower deaths per minute, higher win/loss ratio, higher skill level, higher kdr, more dogtags (with 2x less than time than you), higher score per minute. I'm not sure what else you want to rate by, that covers just about everything, and no plat weapons doesn't aount to skill, that amounts to almost 1400hours of gametime. (And I don't want to get into pin count, but I got Ace 90 more times than you with 800 less hours in, which says a lot as I only have 550 hours played) Remember we played numerous rounds on the same team the other day as well, I ended every single round as #1 on our team, and was 1 of the only few above 1.0 kdr while doing it.

But I wasn't just talking about me, TPU has a lot of great players, highway, haru, crazy (the amount he has improved is insane), and numerous others. I'm not saying you are bad by any measure, but it gets old seeing you refer to yourself as almost godly when you talk in here when there are many players that are better in almost all facets. We would be glad to have you, but don't act like we should be begging you to join :laugh:

Nothing wrong with that playstyle at all, I see guys with low KDR and high SPM all the time. Those are the Medics and Engineers who are mucking it up and don't give a shit about dying. Those are the guys that make shit happen, and I respect them. Too many people hide and don't get done what those people do.

And yeah my gun play is decently quick, but many are faster, my strength is mind games. It's why I play Conquest, Rush is too linear. I like to flank and make my opponent go where I want them to go. Or be where I am not expected. I'm not trying to toot my own horn above, just grinds my gears, honestly I would say 80% or more of that players from TPU have as good or greater stats than him (and for those that don't, they don't care, we don't care, they are having a great time, and we are having a great time playing with them, and thats what games are all about). He would be a nice addition and fit the team well, but I don't think we need to be begging for him. If he wants into the Platoon, apply like everyone else.

Yeah don't go near A at the first set of crates, they brought Battlelog down this morning, it's horrible now. The whole first area (worst around A) you will slide through the ground all over the place. It's so bad I stopped playing in the starting zone, can't go near A to arm it or defend it, unless you want to risk falling through the earth.

[DannibusX]

I played for a few minutes last night and noticed that I am really, really bad. It seemed like there were guys with LMG's taking me out in one hit. I did get a few kills in, but I had to be Johnny on the Spot to do so. Of course, my ping was slightly elevated.

I didn't mess with any settings, but if what I saw last night was a default medium, that's incredible. The game looks great and plays well. I need to get back into the Battlefield series, because swapping between console and PC FPS is really killing my skill level.

Yeah I am going to drop my 1080p set up back down to high. I noticed after I set it on Ultra my K/D really dipped. I'm sure I'm part of the problem, but while it looks great if I go around a corner and the enemy is there he kills me even when I'm pretty sure I pulled first. These are the glitches I'd like worked out before I get the Real deal. I'm probably gonna play the campaign first though.

[digibucc]

just a note: if i'm not around, Kurgan, Scrizz, Mailman, Brandonwh, GullyFoyle & Erocker should have permission to accept member requests to the platoon, if i'm not around. sorry for any wait :) I didn't ask them if they wanted to either, so tough luck for them ;)

we have 25 members already. anyone else playing beta? join the TPU BF3 Platoon! (http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2826550451852514416/)

also, is w3zzard w1zzard? i just want to be sure before i give them admin role, as that would be the perfect way to trick me :)

I'm not saying you are bad by any measure, but it gets old seeing you refer to yourself as almost godly when you talk in here when there are many players that are better in almost all facets. We would be glad to have you, but don't act like we should be begging you to join :laugh:I already rebutted this in the BFBC2 thread. I only need to type one word to you - TANK. I hope you understand now. Since you most likely do not, I will be happy to refresh your memory as many times as it takes. Compare our tank stats side by side on statsverse and all mysteries will be revealed. Tank is the noob vehicle to spam.

I haven't played on any servers that rate your skill level, hence it being 0. Only time I knife is when I'm shanking TPU players, hence my kdr being lower than usual when I was on with everyone. I could easily have more knife kills than you if I wanted. I could be like TimSad and shank the hell out of everyone that plays this game but I like the 60 plat in my avatar WAY more. You are lucky I was on your team, cuz I shanked everyone there was to shank with TPU clan tags. You use knife as primarily your only weapon and don't ride in a tank and see what your kdr is. I was 18/1 the next round after erocker dropped, the last TPUer, and I went back to how I normally play, which is baseraping you. I have the screenshot.

My experience makes the difference on teams with only n00bs that have no hope otherwise. TPU platoon is a much stronger platoon with me in than without. You people are always posting your screenshots of your mediocre accomplishments, blowing your own horn, not me. I have screenshots of when I am literally godly not "almost godly" but I don't want to spam the thread with them.

You make me want to earn more plat, especially since I know your mentality is too small and narrow minded to ever achieve such a thing. You are fortunate I started late on the plat count or I would have all 75 already.

I am still waiting for my invite. I hope the inviter has more sense than you.

Based on his response, he wasn't being ironic. I win at reading comprehension. You failed to "irony test", not me.

I am still waiting for my invite. I hope the inviter has more sense than you.

what you seem to be missing is we like to play together. it doesn't matter how good you are, if you are constantly belittling others, you're no fun to have around. we aren't tooting our horns because we think we are great, it's that we have a community that is supportive and it makes it more fun to share in that community.

it's all about attitude, and you have a bad one. trust me, if you are as good as you say - just play, and keep your mouth shut about your godliness - and everyone will know it.

everyone knows kurgan is awesome, and he is the most humble player i know with skill behind it. it's not like skill is elusive, everyone else can tell if you are good or not. the difference is we here at TPU don't hold anyone on a pedestal, or belittle those who aren't as skilled.

if you really want to be a part of the TPU team, awesome. just come down to our level and chat like a regular person, and not an FPS god :)

[T3kl0rd]

If I used an aim bot like you my stats would be better. You're not that good for a hacker.Aimbotters get caught eventually, they don't earn 60 plat and 15 mil+ points and counting. I hope they weed them out better in BF3 cuz there are some obvious ones in BFBC2.

[random]

I want to apply to join, I am far away from you guys not even sure if oceanic servers can join US ones :(. I will be applying anyway on the 29th since I don't have early access.

Thanks for the reply boise49er, I just bought my best friend a 6870 for his bday so good to know he'll be able to play it smoothly. I've also looked up youtube videos of people with the 6870 and a similar processor and so far seems very very smooth on ultra so he'll be stoked.

Origin Real Name: Random Selki <-- can use that to find me if you guys could add me that'd be cool otherwise I'll be sending out invites :)

Hes a FPS god man. He doesn't need a platoon! HE IS A PLATOON! We are not worthy of him in the platoon. I say with respect to his awesome hacking skills he should be kept out so that we don't taint his haxor abilities! :respect::respect::respect:

To set the tone of this response, unless you completely fail to grasp reality. You have to apply to the platoon. There is no invite process that I am aware of. Log into Battlelog, search for Techpowerup and click the little "Click to Apply" button in the upper right hand corner of the browser. I'm very sure I read that in Kurgan's post, I'm not exactly sure if you read Kurgan's post.

You really need a change in attitude. Most people that play with the TPU guys are here to have fun and don't want to stroke themselves over ridiculous BS. It's a game, it's meant to be fun. I could give a shit on how good or terrible you are. Just because you have some sort of skill at the game doesn't mean you'll make the team any better.

In case you made it this far I want to say it again:

You have to apply to the platoon. No one can invite you. And the people that can approve you, you've already pissed off.

[T3kl0rd]

I haven't been in a flame war yet some dumbass didn't start with me for no reason that they can't back up.

If you are so supportive, then shut up yourself with this noob, sh!t PC fanboy nonsense and get on the Master_OrHan train while you can. Get on it or get run CLEAN over by it. I won't miss a spot.

Kurgan is humble? Not yet he isn't but I'm working my hardest to get him there. I know Kurgan rides in a tank a hella lot and your nose is brown worshiping him. You want to eat my humble pie I'm administering to him, by all means I won't stop you.

How much did you pay for those plats? Seriously how much? BF3 still uses PB so you should be good to go for the next game.

[newbsandwich]

Ok, I know i don't post alot, but Take it Easy people, chill out. I don't care how you got your stats T3kl0rd, as long as people get together and play to have fun, and work together as a team.

Back to the Game on hand BF3 Beta, did anybody else seem to pogo on the ground, like you were stuck a little then would pop out repeatedly? Also, my character would seem to get stuck on tons of little things, small rocks you should be able to run over or piece of root.

That's a pretty common glitch in FPS betas, unfortunately. Make sure you're informing DICE through their forum of the bugs!

[1Kurgan1]

I played for a few minutes last night and noticed that I am really, really bad. It seemed like there were guys with LMG's taking me out in one hit. I did get a few kills in, but I had to be Johnny on the Spot to do so. Of course, my ping was slightly elevated.

I didn't mess with any settings, but if what I saw last night was a default medium, that's incredible. The game looks great and plays well. I need to get back into the Battlefield series, because swapping between console and PC FPS is really killing my skill level.

Will be nice to see you play again, never seen you around too much for BC2.

Wall of text.

Removing all of my tank hours and every single tank kill (and leaving your tank kills) I still have a higher kills per minute than you and still lower deaths per minute, so nice try. Yesterday I didn't tank at all and I beat you badly every single round :laugh: EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm still at 1.6KDR removing all of my tank kills, even leaving my tank deaths, compared to your 1.13, far shot off.

And as far as TimSad, I have knifed him more than he knifed me, by 2x, so knife as much as you want, it won't help you, it didn't help him. :D

You don't post screenshots, and you haven't ever posted anything amazing you have ever done, all you do is talk, and talk is cheap. You played with us for numerous rounds the other day, me, highway, crazy all outscored you every round, and out killed you. And neither of them were tanking either. You don't impress me, and you never will, your just a bag of hot air, and you remove the fun from this clubhouse, I haven't ever seen someone stir as much crap up as you have. You have played with us before and it was the same results, no matter how much you see it, you will just believe you are the best.

If you want into the club, apply, simple as that, we are all here to have fun, not begging for slightly above mediocre players.

nice one mailman.

To me this beta feels just as buggy as the alpha. Ok, i haven't seen anybody without arms yet, but just the feel from running around seems jittery, and not very smooth.

http://www.zagura.ro/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/god-kills-kitten-troll.jpg

You trolls, sadly he is serious. Overall I'm pretty silent in TS, or even on here about kills and such. But a guy who isn't far above average coming on here and talking like he is better than everyone here when we have a ton of great players, just can't stand by and watch that happen.

And speaking of that, yesterday I found Digi in game, or should I say he found me... twice. I never got to kill :(

I dunno why I don't play all that much BC2, it really is a great game. I mostly got lost playing WoW again and rockin' Black Ops on the 360 with my RL friends. I already have one of them sold on BF3 (PC). I fully plan to forgo MW3 and play BF3 almost exclusively this time around.

Hopefully the Origin friend list will work a lot better than the BC2 one. I already like the Battlelog website/launcher and stuff. I personally think it's a great innovation, albeit a weird one that will take some getting used to. I've got only a few people on my BC2 friend list, and they rarely play anymore.

I'm already plotting my next upgrade for BF3. Son of a bitch.

Dear TPU Platoon,

I will be enlisting as soon as I get home today around 5 pm EST. Hope to join up and play some games with everyone!

I'm a good player overall with experience in FPS games (annoying list coming): CS, DOD, TF, TF2, CSS, DOD:S, SOF2, Firearms mod (HL1 and HL2), Natural Selection mod (HL1), COD (every game in the series except United Offensive; the original was the best lol), MOH, BF1942, BF2, BF:BC2, and now BF3. Long time helicopter pilot in BF2 (transport blackhawk getting those troops to the front lines!), getting used the the "dumbed down" controls in the more modern iterations :-/ . I usually go for meta-game success, I.E. teamplay and objectives. But as far as K/D most of my rounds yesterday I had 20+ kills and usually 5-8 deaths. Hit detection in this game is EPIC. If I get my flank or an opportunity arrises, I can rambo w/ the best of them :-D

Hope to play with some other good players! Oh and I love reading this forum at work. It keeps me entertained lol

For the little time I was able to play last night due to other crap going on I generally to the horrible sudden performance drops.

LaughingMan it was really bad on the server with you which is why I suddenly bailed were you running smooth? I can't really tell if it's network or fps lag or both though I wasn't measuring anything. Using 11.10 and CAP 5.

[brandonwh64]

T3kl0rd, I have reported your posts, This is a clubhouse to talk and share our gameplay with BF3, Not a pissing contest or measuring your..... well you get the idea.

If you plan on staying here in this clubhouse, please stop with the attitude and "I am the greatest" persona.

Thanks :)

I haven't tried the 870 yet, or even really looked at the other open weapons, DAO should be fun though. Is there only the 870 and the DAO for shotguns?

No there are 5 shotguns (Saiga, USAS12, DAO, 870, and M1014 (silver shotgun from L4D2). This does not count the 40mm underslung shotguns which there are technically 2, but is mainly in real life one does not fit a certain type of rail system. To stay accurate to real life weapons, they just used the one built for each of the 2 rail systems, so they should have the same characteristics.

just a note: if i'm not around, Kurgan, Scrizz, Mailman, Brandonwh, GullyFoyle & Erocker should have permission to accept member requests to the platoon, if i'm not around. sorry for any wait :) I didn't ask them if they wanted to either, so tough luck for them ;)

also, is w3zzard w1zzard? i just want to be sure before i give them admin role, as that would be the perfect way to trick me :)

I joined before some of those guys and I don't get to be a leader? :cry: I really don't care to be honest.

Aimbotters get caught eventually, they don't earn 60 plat and 15 mil+ points and counting. I hope they weed them out better in BF3 cuz there are some obvious ones in BFBC2.

I love how you are proud of two stats that say nothing more than you play BFBC2 a whole lot. Getting a lot of points and platinum stars just happens because you played for 1500 hours.

OMG, per you I hack. How many dumbass noob ragers spam that ingame? Congrats on solidifying your rank among them. Being the TS and BF3 Clubhouse founder, you are the head dumbass noob rager. (In BF2142 announcer voice) Well done soldier, you deserve an award. Your sarcastic response is a weak yet ironically truth containing acknowledgement. YOUR attitude, not MINE is what is going to change and this demonstrates baby steps towards that end. You should ALL be exceedingly grateful for my insulting responses to your flame wars you initiate with me. It is the most sincere help you will ever receive to correct your egregious deficiencies.

You are going to leap when I say frog, this isn't rocket science. You are fortunate I'm not pissing ON you IRL. Your will will bend and conform to my every whim without fail or there will be serious repercussions.

You didn't comprehend what I typed pertaining to my invite. If you are one of the special people that has great difficulty reading, I suggest not looking like a fool also. Double whammy

Therein lies the problem, not only with my BF3 TPU platoon membership but with you as a whole. You aren't aware of a great deal and what you don't know CAN and WILL hurt you. I AM aware of such a process and it is the only means by which my presence will grace this lowly and disdainful clan which has been shamed with your disrespectfulness towards myself as a whole.

I'm not going to answer this stupid perpetual sh!t PC fanboy noob rager pure dumbassness, ad infinitum. In case you are wondering why I disappear from your pseudo intellectual, faux pro gaming skills discussions.

Security!

[thepants1337]

T3kl0rd.

The entire concept of your argument is asinine. Let's assume you're not hacking and do possess "godly" skill, and not an obvious troll. You're approaching a group of people, whom you wish to become a part of (or so it seems...), and immediately start explaining why you're far superior to anyone in that group. Either

A) You have 0 social skills and don't understand how to converse with others, especially those that you truely wish to associate with

or

B) Are an asshole that is looking in the wrong place for potential team mates. If your skill level so far exceeds that of the people on this forum then please take it somewhere that will challenge you.

So either reconsider your rhetoric, or find a better fit for your "talents".

Oh and stats or no stats, when BF3 official drops on the 25th. I will find you in game. :-)

I just applied to the Platoon, username - neurosisxeno.

Just added you to the Platoon, I got to try and catch some sleep so I can BF3 tonight with everyone, was too scattered last night. Platoons a good size now, we might be able to invade a server pretty well.

[TheMailMan78]

I aint invading nothing until I can bind some controls.

[erixx]

I just noticed an "Organize a party" button under the platoon section... Sounds sweeeet.

BTW, I just played the map and it seems that the map continues after the subway part, for the 1st time I exites again in the daylight city! Very nice!

Yeah but you cant change ANY of the controls in the game. Binding different ones to the mouse wont cancel that out. Savvy?

[bbmarley]

add me 4 some games Blackeyez

[1Kurgan1]

Do you unbind WASD and use them for other things ingame? If so yeah you would be screwed.

Yup.

Point well taken. I guess it came out as more of a compliment.

[boise49ers]

Yeah I don't like it the way they got it. Tried last night and basically have to bind to the software, which in turn means because their controls are so different then the other games it is gonna screw those up. So I'll have to redo all those games to match a beta ? I don't think I want that pain in the ass. So basically I'll bind the prone and try crouch again, but last night I could get it to work at all and I got pissed. On my second machine I have to load the logitech software and then go thru all that shit I just spoke of. Probably a weekend deal. Don't want to deal with all that shit after a day at work.

[TheMailMan78]

Yeah man. Cool Hand Luke is only for special occasions.

[brandonwh64]

Mailman, what controls do you use other than WASD?

[DannibusX]

Mailman, what controls do you use other than WASD?

Fapvision, fapmouse and a fappad.

He binds his forward and backward movement to his mouse buttons. It was an interesting concept that I might just try someday.

[brandonwh64]

Hmmm yes this does seem quite odd but I always say "Play how you want to play" :)

[TheMailMan78]

Mailman, what controls do you use other than WASD?

lol get ready to laugh.

left shift = left strafe.
Z= right strafe
X= aim
c=fire
v=prone
ctrl=crouch
r=reload
f=flare or flashlight
d=sprint
tab=use/enter
left mouse = forward
right mouse = back
middle mouse=gernade
side mouse = knife

See I started out gaming on a mac years ago. Before WASD was standard. Years of playing Quake have burnt this into my head and I just can't break it.

[newbsandwich]

Heh, my friend moves everything over to the keypad, and hes not a lefty. This beta will piss him off good. Easy kills for the other team.

Did I get added to the platoon? If not, can you please do so? I can't check that stuff here at work. Thanks.

Wow I got dizzy just reading that:roll:

[Wrigleyvillain]

I got keys to change but it was a pain (use Q and E for left and right and D for spot); kept losing mouse cursor and such. No mouse buttons of course which I really miss for use/activate, melee and grenades.

Before I got smart and used fraps LOL


What do you mean exactly?

[W1zzard]

yes, that's me. but i dont want admin. i dont have time to manage the squad

[digibucc]

for screenshots i think. that looks like a photo from a camera/phone.

what mouse do you use? most mice that have those buttons also have a way to program keystrokes to them.

it does the same for me, and i can load it fine. maybe the ajax, etc the site uses is too much. you may need a proxy service to get past your work's filter, otherwise out of luck :( sry.

Hes right, I wanted a screenshot so I used my phone then realized I had fraps installed LOL

[cadaveca]

I haz no beta access. Dammit! Bought MOH jsut for beta access, played online for one round, when I heard that was a requirement, still, no key 4 me.


:cry:

Guess I'm not missing much though?

[DannibusX]

Dave, look under your MoH key in Steam. That's where the MoH bought BF3 Beta keys appear.

[boise49ers]

Guess I'm not missing much though?
Nope just the best game since the inception of video gaming :roll:
It has querks of course and this map just like BFBC2 beta map has
a long way to go to be desirable, but it is fun and gives you the
ability to practice for Oct. 25th.:slap::laugh:

[ZenZimZaliben]

Please add me to the list of players on Thread. No Beta key for me, but I will be getting the game on release.

[boise49ers]

Dave, look under your MoH key in Steam. That's where the MoH bought BF3 Beta keys appear.
I don't have steam hooked to MOH and I'm still waiting for mine.
The one I'm using is for preordering BF3.

Well, I didn't think of the whole didn't-buy-it-through-Steam option. That sucks. EA's probably swamped. I didn't get my email until sometime in the early afternoon yesterday.

[cadaveca]

I bought MoH in Origin.:rolleyes: Guess that way my mistake, but I did only pay $15 for it. Guess that's my bad for trying to get a deal.:laugh:

You can still get in tomorrow on the Open Beta. I hope they open up more servers to handle all the new traffic

Well damn. Since Origin is basically a screen-scrape of Steam you'd think you'd have gotten a key! Is there any way to check the MoH key in Origin?

[cadaveca]

Yep, no such luck, unfortunately. According to origin FAQ, I should have received an email, or the game would automatically be available.

Of course, checking my account history, the purchase info for MoH is missing. I do ahve my receipt, of course, but I think i my understand my I haven't got a key yet.

I'm also sure htt htere must be others with the same problem, as the Origin FAQ also states that may users did not get a key and they were checking into the problem, and to log into chat support ot get a key.

Of course, it's been over 24 hours I've been waiting for a chat agent, although I suppose one could have shown up while I was sleeping. :laugh:

Try activating MoH in steam. THEN check the cd keys in Steam.

[digibucc]

it needs to be moh:le , not just moh. i don't think moh:le has been available for a long time.

i bought it through stardock (impulse) before moh launched , and yesterday copied my key into origin, and it registered. about 30mins later i got the beta email.

Thats not true with MoH. It doesnt have to be the LE.

I can't really play, anyway. I just wanna check out the pretties.:laugh:

That's what Origin says; either LE or Tier1. I have Tier1. Although I paid only $15, I got it fairly shortly after release...I just had a fantastic coupon that you could only use on Origin(then EA Store).

I can wait until tomorrow, for sure.

Requirements for STEAM copy owners are different than those for Origin/EA Store copy owners(any version qualifies). I am pleasantly surprised that i can say all of that is documented in Origin's FAQ.;)

[brandonwh64]

Hmmm I have the EA origin support phone number if you want to call and complain

[ShiBDiB]

Why bother complaining.. everyone gets beta access in like 12 hours.. go enjoy your last day outside for awhile

Mailman, put this on the OP somewere so if people need to contact Origin Support for ANY reason they can.

1 (855) 674-4461

[cadaveca]

Nope. I've done the beta thing with EA and DICE for nearly every battlefield game. This is totally par for the course, and I am more than happy to wait until tomorrow, as I jsut wanna see it, not play it. I broke a bone a my left hand, so even using a controller is out for me. I might not get to play properly for a while.

:laugh: easy for you to say..i'm stuck indoors. And it's getting cold. :p:

WOW I hope you get better, This games engine is awesome. Me and Laughing man tested the video settings Low, Medium, High and Honestly, Low with NO AA OR AF OR BLUR OR HBAO it looks like BC2 on high with those on.

Im currently running medium with 2xAF 2xAA and getting 60-85FPS steady. I cant tell much of a difference from other settings.

I also made sure after each video setting change, I manually exited the game and joined again to make sure they were properly applied.
