Same here. The only bummer with the Alpha controls for me is Z for prone, as I have meat hooks so Z is a bit of a contortion. On BF2 I have prone mapped to my thumb button on the mouse. Works great.

Try sliding your ring finger down from A to Z for prone, it's usually what I do.

Yeah I use WSQE for movement (was more comfortable for me than A + D and I got used to it) and like D to spot so this is tough for me too. I want my BC2 controls.

Interesting, I usually leave Q and E for hotkeys for nice abilities, or if a game allows you to strafe and turn at the sametime then I always get in the habit of hitting combos like Q+W+E or E+W+A.

With no ability to remap the controls, I play like a double amputee whose prosthetic limbs are held on with scotch tape!

I have been using my right mouse button as 'move forward' since iD's Wolfenstein 3D. That's 19 years! If I have to use W for forward, my pinkie can no longer find the run key (shift). I keep missing the prone key(Z). When I want to do something fast. I spasmically hit the right mouse button, aiming down the sights, which slows me down to a crawl, making me an even easier target.

Very frustrating. :cry:


I use Forward = E, Back = D, Right Strafe = F, Left Strafe = S, Weapon change = A, crouch = C, Prone = Z. You all should try using that.. To me your hand lays more natural. :toast:

Yes, finally got my invite last night and played till like 2am. It is fun, but hard with nothing unlocked. I know i like to play defense more, don't die all the time and usually get more kills.

Does anybody else have the game constantly in windowed mode? I can't get mine to do a complete full screen, it always has the windows buttons.

No it was windowed at first but fullscreen was not selected in options which worked.

Yeah Kurgan it's kind of a liability as Q and E do have good uses but I usually just use A and D for those things instead. Also use A and D for nose up/down (whatever it's called) when flying. Note I never claimed to be a good pilot lol

If a game allows ou to have strafe and turn buttons do you unbind one set, I'm assuming turn then just use your mouse for it?

Yeah, Kurgan, to answer your question.

Yes some got the email, some of us like me and Alex just tried logging in with our EA accounts and it gave us a code. Others, neither happened...

Edit: Hmm apparently here's a way to change binds. Anyone want to try this? I'm at work.

Step-1
You need to download a program called GlovePIE http://glovepie.org/glovepie_download.php [glovepie.org] and unzip it somewere.
Step-2
Find were you unziped it and look for the glovepie.exe and create a shortcut on your desktop.
Step-3
Start it :)
It will open and there is a tab called Untitled with>
// Type your script here, or click the GUI tab to autogenerate it!
To get you started all you need to do is copy and past this it that box.
// BF3
KEY.W = KEYBOARD.UP
KEY.A = KEYBOARD.LEFT
KEY.S = KEYBOARD.DOWN
KEY.D = KEYBOARD.RIGHT
KEY.R = MOUSE.BUTTON3
KEY.Z = KEYBOARD.END
KEY.Q = KEYBOARD.PAGEDOWN
KEY.G = KEYBOARD.DELETE
KEY.F = MOUSE.MiddleButton
KEY.V = KEYBOARD.DOT
KEY.X = NUMPAD0
KEY.Space = RightShift
KEY.LeftShift = RightControl
KEY.E = Enter
And then go to file and save as.
Save it somewere handy.
Close glovepie and reopen it and go to file open and select the file you just saved and open it.
You should see now the keybinds you pasted in and saved befor? if so thats it.
All you do now is befor entering the game hit the run button to start the keybinds running.
You can change the keys to your liking or add more.

And here are some further tweaks using a diff method/util:

There are a few extra options not exposed via the interface including sensitivity and toggle ironsights. You can change them by doing the following.
Download and install HxD.
Browse to "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\BF3\settings\"
Backup "PROF_SAVE_body" in case you mess something up.
Open "PROF_SAVE_body" with HxD.
Change the settings you want in the right hand column and save.
Start BF3. If it crashes you changed a setting to an invalid value.
EDIT: The following are settings that are available.
The most useful settings to me are:
Scheme0Sensitivity (defaults to 0.5, I have mine set to 1.0 and it works fine)
Scheme1Sensitivity (defaults to 0.5, I have mine set to 1.0 and it works fine)
HoldButtonToZoom (disable will make it so you toggle ironsights instead of holding down RMB)
Full list below.

Fixed.jk.

Anyone else receive an email regarding the closed alpha trial?

I don't have like 9000 hours in the game ether.

If you would have caught me 10 years ago in Quake 3.......well.......




Seriously. I used to move like this guy.


Not so much anymore. If you take one day off from playing you lose mojo.

This is just some info I saw on the interwebs... New version of the BF3 alpha abvailable for download.

What does the new version entail?


Fixed so Bug sentry sends crash info
Fixed a telemetry error that caused some reporting to be wrong
Fixed a exe problem that allowed clients to visually host server
Adjusted the value of several scoring events
Tweaked balance on some weapons

We recommend nVidia players go and download the nvVidia 280.19 beta drivers from www.nvidia.com as it contains changes which should improve the BF3 Alpha Trial experience.


Service stars:

Now have names to show why you got it
Reduced to 2000 points (previously 10000)

Scoring:

Repair points now work for both squad and the rest of the team
Resupply points now work for both squad and the rest of the team

Ribbons

A few adjustments to criteria needed for ribbons.

Weapons:

Increased damage of bolt sniper rifles at long ranges for two hit kills.
Fixed so claymore mines will detonate and damage properly. Note you can crouch or prone to move past a mine without detonating it.
Adjusted the distance fall off for all automatic weapons. Weapons retain their power in extreme CQB but require an addition hit to kill at longer ranges.
Increased the headshot bonus to reward players for accurate fire at long ranges.
Fixed a bug where Snipers were never perfectly accurate like they should have been.
Increased the range of shotgun pellets to better fit our battle distances.
Tweaked the recoil of the G36C, this weapon had far too little recoil.

So, there are claymores in BF3. Hmmm.

This is just some info I saw on the interwebs... New version of the BF3 alpha abvailable for download.

What does the new version entail?


Fixed so Bug sentry sends crash info
Fixed a telemetry error that caused some reporting to be wrong
Fixed a exe problem that allowed clients to visually host server
Adjusted the value of several scoring events
Tweaked balance on some weapons

We recommend nVidia players go and download the nvVidia 280.19 beta drivers from www.nvidia.com as it contains changes which should improve the BF3 Alpha Trial experience.


Service stars:

Now have names to show why you got it
Reduced to 2000 points (previously 10000)

Scoring:

Repair points now work for both squad and the rest of the team
Resupply points now work for both squad and the rest of the team

Ribbons

A few adjustments to criteria needed for ribbons.

Weapons:

Increased damage of bolt sniper rifles at long ranges for two hit kills.
Fixed so claymore mines will detonate and damage properly. Note you can crouch or prone to move past a mine without detonating it.
Adjusted the distance fall off for all automatic weapons. Weapons retain their power in extreme CQB but require an addition hit to kill at longer ranges.
Increased the headshot bonus to reward players for accurate fire at long ranges.
Fixed a bug where Snipers were never perfectly accurate like they should have been.
Increased the range of shotgun pellets to better fit our battle distances.
Tweaked the recoil of the G36C, this weapon had far too little recoil.

So, there are claymores in BF3. Hmmm.
I found them on the Support kit but I have to get like 123000 point for the Support kit to unlock them. I think they are the un-unlockable item that was on BC2 remember the Beta? It had some really high score item.

Nah, i like the name, have used it for awhile now. That way it doesn't matter when i do badly, and get called a noob.

I have tried the options, but don't have any thing for fullscreen for some reason. Whenever i launch the game from origins, it just opens up the game in a new window, and never goes completely full screen.

Also, anybody get weird sound problems? At times my sound is very quite, and others LOUD. This is with yelling, reloading, shooting, whatever, etc...


Oh, and if anybody wants to add me I go by newbsandwich in game also.
