How does one get access to alpha/beta testing without purchasing a horrible game called MoH?

The alpha you get invited into at random and the beta will be open to the public in September.

Is he correct in that first video about the alpha being DX9 only?

That video has been taken down, but I did hear that said. No, that is not possible. Perhaps he thinks his video card is only DX9, like I thought for my 8800GT, but it is DX10.
The game is totally written to the DX11 API, which has internal fall-backs for DX10 cards.

GullyFoyle · Jul 27, 2011, 11:57 AM

If you haven't tried in a while, you may want to try logging in to the alpha portal. I'm seeing lots of forum chatter of people having success without getting an e-mail yet.

I thought BF3 only ran under DX10 and DX11 and DX9 wasn't going to be supported?

Wow! I've been watching some alpha videos on youtube on my android phone and it looks fan-fuck'n-tastic! I want it now! You guys watched any of them yet? Inside the subway looks awesome! I was worried about the level of detail inside buildings, but after seeing those videos indoor level of detail looks to be the best in the series!

That is absolutely correct. People point to the Xbox as a DX9 class machine and say DICE must be pulling a fast one at the bidding of Microsoft and the hardware manufacturers to force us to upgrade.

It was easier for DICE to write drivers for the fixed hardware in the consoles, to interface in a similar manner to DX11, than to try to make advanced graphics work with all DirectX levels and hardware variations on the PC.

I'm going to hold myself back and assume you're trolling.

If you read my the comment you'd see that i actually mentioned running the game as a factor for thinking about going over to the PS3 version, i'm unable to afford new hardware just to run the game the way i'd like and i would prefer KB/M controls, but it's not to bad with a controller.

If i can only run the game with low to med settings on PC, then the Console version is the next best thing for me. When you have no money for hardware, your incentives change.

Wrigleyvillain · Jul 27, 2011, 02:43 PM

He's not trolling. Just trying to make sense of your statement. And isn't medium on PC equiv to a console anyway? If not low?

So InnocentCriminal what's your veteran status and were you subscribed to newsletter? I'm seeing talk that people without a vet status even have gotten invites but not sure if that's actually true.

You shouldn't have any problem running it with your system. I've got a 470 and that's a very nice card. Plus, you can always SLI it down the road. I would pick it up for PC over the PS3. You can always choose to go into a 24 player server for better results. PS3's are stuck with 24 players.

From what I gather I don't have a veteran status. I get multiple newsletters from EA.

Wrigleyvillain · Jul 27, 2011, 03:56 PM

Oh ffs. I wish there was more rhyme and reason to this shit. That's the most frustrating aspect by far. FU EA.

TheMailMan78 · Jul 27, 2011, 03:59 PM

I have veteran status X4. Its all random. I contacted EA about it. Veteran status has nothing to do with it.

Wrigleyvillain · Jul 27, 2011, 04:02 PM

They specifically said otherwise--"make sure your Vet status is up to date" plus be sub'd to newsletter (which I admit I was not until Monday). But, yeah, why should what they actually said matter? Fits with the rest of this fly-by-night approach.

Some high Vet posted his buddy who only played Bc2 and another who just plays FIFA got invites. Those don't sound like the types of guys sub'd to a newsletter either but who the eff knows.

I agree. But I contacted a rep personally.

TheMailMan: Is there anyway I could be put in the pool for BF3?

TheMailMan:
alpha?

Philbert: The Alpha invitation are send on the random basis.

TheMailMan:
Based off of what? Ventran status or something else?

Philbert: Random basis, no priority.

Last night when I was on team speak, I tried to play 2142 but it told me the game could not be played and needed to be reinstalled using origin! Im starting to HATE EA's downloaders

purecain · Jul 27, 2011, 06:11 PM

i just got this in an email....

cant wait.... downloading now...

Battlefield 3 alpha trial

this has just made my day....

this calls for a celebration...

Mindweaver · Jul 27, 2011, 06:44 PM

Leave it up to EA to screw with BF:3's sales..... has anyone used origins yet? How badly does it suck?

Edit: Thanks for the pics purecain! I may have to download orgins and install some of my other Battlefield games. That doesn't look to bad... I just hated the old EA system.. Where you dl'ed it and then installed it yourself.. Steam has made me lazy.. lol I do not miss patching my games.. OR changing out CD and DVD's to play games... hehehe
