Battlefield 3 Clubhouse

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah the knife fights can be fun and hilarious. I love when I'm too far from the target to get a lock on and stick it in but rather swipe at him being close enough to still hit and get the kill.

Planet Battlefield's E3 Day 3 round-up:

Battlefield 3 E3 Day 3 Wrap Up
17:24 PST | ^Scott^
E3 2011 has come to an end and Battlefield 3 was one of the biggest games of the show, if not THE biggest. I think it says something when people are willing to wait 4+ hours in line just to play the game for 20-30 minutes.

We are in the process of writing up our report on the trip and Battlefield 3 as well as posting up pictures. Meanwhile, here is a wrap up of today's Battlefield 3 news.

imo they should implement that. This will be the next big thing ever since the "shooting through walls" thing in fps

I was think realistic Gore : ) That is an awesome GIF though.

Wow,if we compare our current BFBC2 signatures,you only have 2 hours more gameplay than me,but you are 3 lvls ahead.nice,thats 600.000 points if Im right?what am I doing wrong?I mean is this correct?If I want to play for lots of points I play one of my fav 1000 ticket servers,but even there it can take an hour and I earn up to 13.000 points.am I understanding something wrong?cos AFAIK you need 200.000 points to level up,in 3 lvl is therefore about 600.000,no way you can make that much in 2 hours of gameplay.can you please explain this to me a bit,Im little confused,thanks.

spm is part of it, also, getting stars on weapons (my most used gun only has like 1200 kills, and I have at least one gold on everything)

all about playing with your squad (extra points) and pushing the front. jump on TS with us and your SPM will go up (although your K/D might suffer)

[raptori]

do any one know if I can pre-order downloadable Limited edition from any site other than EA store ???

Stars shouldnt be a problem,though I dont have gold on each weapon,I have 9 platinum weapons,thats not bad,I keep collecting those gold stars worth 5000 points and as soon as I reach platinum,I switch to a different weapon,Im nearly done with my 10th platinum.but you are right,my spm is probably average at most.my w/l ratio is not too good,cos all servers I play are full of players to whom teamplay doesnt say anything.I compared few times my squad score with other top layers here,mine is usually much lower.that proves my shitty servers.probably need to find a good teamplay server.As we spoke about many times before,I really really wish to play with TPU more ofthen,but the damn time difference simply doesnt allow me to.

EDIT:which site are you using for your stats?

EDIT2: sorry for discussing BFBC2 topics in BF3 thread,I kind of forgot where I was

All pre-orders are the Limited Edition. Several people here have ordered a downloadable copy from Direct2Drive. I know they have a US and UK site. I don't know if either site offers service to Iraq.

I personally expect Steam to come through some time before October, also.

[GullyFoyle]

This looks like an interesting post by zh1nt0 in the EA UK forums.
The version I see has lost some of it's original formatting, so it may be confuse the meaning a little (I guessed at some of it). I will try to fix it up tonight.

Edit: this looks like the original source (not zh1nt0)

I didn't really worry about weapon stars, just SPM and getting as many medals a round as I could.

You going to play again when BF3 comes out, been forever since I seen you on BC2.

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah you knifed him one too many times K...

The poor guy is scarred for life.

[Raijian]

How is this "pre-alpha" if it's being released in October?

Also, does TPU think I'll be able to run BF3 on Ultra at 50-60 FPS with my current setup? I'd probably get a nice heatsink for my CPU to bump it to 3.9ghz, and if I have to replace my video card I will.

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah I was wondering that too. But they can call it whatever they want. Some shit never ever leaves "beta".

I suspect you will be fine. Maybe have to turn down the AA but thats about it.

[Wrigleyvillain]

Buy another 5870 if it doesn't run to your liking...

bump the CPU to 4Ghz. as for the GPU -- the 5870 is still a solid performer. grab another one for crossfire or get a 6950 and flash/mod it to a 6970 and youre golden id say.

[Wrigleyvillain]

Probably but we really won't know until release, of course. As with any new game.

[cadaveca]

Must...resist...teh...urge...to...play...BC2...

[Wrigleyvillain]

Hell, I'm trying to get the urge back. Bored as hell of my plethora of games including BC2. October can't come soon enough.

[cadaveca]

I've not played much of anything in the past few months; too busy with reviews. Doing OC testing right now on another, which is why I have the time to post so much this morn.

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah overplaying, esp BC2, is one thing that got me here.

D2D offering the non-Limited edition as far as I know, also is it true that I can't patch it (when there will be a patch) if its not opened to download (to Iraq) from EA store??
