Bad advice... BF3 isn't on Steam. And why buy the worse version of the game brand new, then buy the better version later? I would do it the other way around, but console games drop in price much slower, thats the only painful part.

sorry, I meant to say EA Flash Deal. I have more friends and family on consoles than PC. I have a feeling the PC version will have some Jank to it.

Battlefieldo.com - HD CASPIAN BORDER BETA SCREENSHOTS. I suppose these are sanctioned for release by DICE, also.

Spoiler

Now we bring you a package of high res Caspian Border screenshots taken from the 64 player conquest version of the map. For those of you who have played Operation Metro, you are going to be blown away by Caspian Border. It is honestly one of the best battlefield experiences we’ve had. The map combines close infantry with vehicles. There is nothing better then hiding in a set of trees next to a road, waiting to pop a RPg-7 on a unsuspecting tank. Here are the set of screenshots courtesy of King0rism for your viewing pleasure.

We’ve got a section on our forums for those of you wishing to share your favourite beta moments!

Follow this link for the screen shots.

Planet Battlefield - Battlefield 3 Beta and the Caspian Border map

Spoiler

0:54 PST | ^Scott^ | Print News | Category: BF3

If you are in the Battlefield 3 PC beta you know there are a number of password protected servers running the map Caspian Border. Earlier today the password was leaked basically making it public, which is not what DICE had intended. Battlefield Community Manager, Daniel 'zh1nt0' Matros posted some information on how they are handling the Caspian Border testing.

Ah, and there it was. The password for Caspian Border.
So the deal with Caspian Border in the Open Beta is that it is only for internal testing at the moment.

Passwords are being given out to selected community members, sites and clans to help us evaluate the feedback we are getting as well as making sure that the map is continiously being tested.

The passwords will be changed on a frequent basis and I am personally making sure that as many community people as possible who are engaged in different community sites get the chance to try the map out and supply us with feedback.
This in itself was a challenge. This is only meant to be for internal testing. When footage and passwords start being spread around, it´s difficult for me to justify the community´s cause about joining us in our internal testing.

So please, if you are participating in the testing, please don´t post any footage and please don´t spread the password.

If we can´t keep this in an organized fashion, I won´t be able to include the community into more cool stuff in the future

My sob story: I was in the group of people (the Community Pressroom, a Google Group set up by zh1nt0) that was actually TOLD by zh1nt0 the latest password and invited to play the Caspian Border map. But, since it was effective starting at noon EST, I didn't have a chance to play that level until after it had been leaked to the world. Poor me. (PS. It wasn't me that leaked the password...)

early access or open? I still don't seem to see BF3 beta on the free game list ><.

 

[DEFEATEST]

Been playing for about 10 rounds so far and very happy with it. The bugs are annoying, but I'm most pleasantly surprised about my performance. High 30's to low 50's outside and 40's to 70's inside. 5870, q9550-stock, 4gigs ram all on ultra @ 1080p with lowered AA. I may just wait on an upgrade after all.

although I'm guessing big outdoor expanses like Caspian might make my puter cry a little more. I am however getting a really strange freezing/locking up that seems almost heat releated. I have manually turned my fan up on the GPU , it seems to help. I'm also running the hotfix drivers.

I got a key from my MOH purchase but forgot about it, you have to right click on MOH in the steam library and click CD Key button.

Thanks for the info, best of both worlds right there. Now off topic, where did you get that steam skin?

 

[1Kurgan1]

Well, I hear of everyone lagging in Caspian, but I haven't had any lag. I actually am downloading at 1.5mb/s right now and still wasn't really lagging. Anyways, I got some Jet seat time and took some screens, so enjoy!

Caspian is massive by vehicle, or extremely massive by foot, yet by air, for all those worried about slow jets. The map moves by pretty damn fast. Also I wasn't having a ton of trouble flying with my mouse, but I'm sure a joystick will be better.

**EDIT**
Just tried the Steam trick. You do not need to disable Origin in-game. Just make sure you don't have Origin and Steam in-game open at the sametime and you will be fine.

 

[Scrizz]

I will say this:
I thought the beta was garbage.
That is, until i tried caspian border.
OMFG
CASPIAN BORDER

reminds me of dragon valley from BF2
THIS IS BATTLEFIELD, not battle corridor.

screenshots do not do it justice.

while running around or in vehicle, jet's and helicopters are constantly flying in the sky.
IT's a beauty.
OMFG
shame I don't actually own the full thing.

...Don't feel too bad , my old Motherboard died on me, and I ordered the new ASUS Sabertooth 990FX and it arrived to me DOA. So, I have to wait till next week to play it :shadedshu

how do we get that map ?

 

[MT Alex]

How and the hell do you choose squads, or join a specific one? I can only leave a squad, then it puts you into the same one when you join another.

 

[speedy11131]

Just played Caspian Border, I know what you guys mean now.

 

[Radical_Edward]

I still fall through the map at random ATM...

All the servers for the other map need a password?

YEAH i TRIED TO FIGURE THAT OUT TOO SO i COULD JOIN YOUR SQUAD. COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT EITHER.

The only place I notice it is really bad around 1st crate A, and a bit other places in that 1st flag spot. After that it's fine. Do you get it at other sets of crates?

No, I don't. But it's still pretty bad. I can't even defuse at A without falling in.

I really want to try Casipain border, but it's all password protected. :shadedshu

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

Here are the last few matches i played:

I think I got in the groove big time. Here is my strategy:

Weapons:

Silenced UMP w/ ACOG and Laser
Silenced Glock 17 w/ Laser

Theory:

If I run around the map with silenced weapons I will never be detected, and kill everyone before they figured it out.

Proof:

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/69956/1/225759635/

Best game:

I had a life in there where I got 20ish kills with my UMP and sidearm, had to pick up an enemy weapon, got kills with it, ran out of ammo, had to pick up another enemy weapon, got some kills, and finally died.

How to win big time against 12 year olds:

• Cover
• Ironsights
• Silenced Weapons
• Reloading Behind Cover
• Shooting Behind Cover
• Staying Behind Cover
• Shoot and Scoot to New Cover
• Cover
• When moving around corners, crouch and engage irons
• Use grenade to move up: throw, pop out from cover, fire
• Lay down. You have no idea how easy it is to miss a "proned" player, especially for us BC2 Vets
• Dynamic Switching to Sidearm while holding left mouse will cause a continuous stream of fire, you just have to release at the right time to take the second shot

Hope this helps anyone having issues. Pretty much pretend this is real life, and use common sense, and you win.

 

[Radical_Edward]

I'm getting random DC issues and such. Even a few CTD's. I'm alsomost better off playing FC2 at this point and it CTD's at random as well.

 

[1Kurgan1]

Silenced weapons are nice, but Rush is so linear it won't matter a ton. Theres only so many good spots to take cover, and where to expect people. All good tips that everyone should be practicing, cover is very important.
