Man, I've just encountered the weirdest bug so far, it made me virtually invincible. I was in the third area near B where there is a long hall, they had just destroyed B and started moving to the next area and I was the last guy there, so I saw one guy and started sprinting toward him, the moment I stabbed him in his face another guy showed up, I expected to die but for some reason he started shooting me and a pushed toward him, killing him to with the knife, I kept doing this until I killed around 8 of them by just pushing toward them and stabbing constantly, sadly in the end one guy came behind me and trophy-killed me ;(

I tried doing it again but it didn't work.

The quick knife is still there but it takes like 2 hits to kill now but sometime it takes 1 hit......dunno how does that work.

If you come up behind somebody, it's supposed to be a 1-hit kill with an animation for knifer and knifee. Other than that, I'm not sure how it works.

I'm figuring I'll end up putting the 6870 in the second machine and get a 6970 for the hexie. I don't need maximum settings for it to be playable and still look great. Remember the Quad will be at 1366x 768. It should still make console look second class. I do know the wife has been patient with me spending 300 or 400 hundred a month on parts. It is wearing thin though. I think shit if I was console gamer I could of bought every game and the best 52" LCD for that investment
That statement contradicts itself.

My old setup (Q6600 @ stock, 4GB DDR2-800, Radeon HD5850) handled 1680x1050 with everything on high, and maybe 2x AA. I got a constant 40-60 fps when minimal action was going on, but once explosions and physics kicked in, I could feel it chugging at 20 or so. For most people that's still playable, and I managed, but it's just not optimal. Once I upgraded to my current setup, I can now run it completely maxed and get easily the same fps, with no dips.

Despite what people say, in games like BC2\BF3, CPU does make a big difference. I have a friend that has a Phenom II X4 and a GTX470 and gets worse performance than I do with his comp despite having a noticably faster GPU.

In Bad Company 2 you ever kill someone with a non-lock on knife? That non-lock knife doesn't always kill, I have slashed people and been shot down by them and they are at like 50%, you have to land it right to kill them with it. So I'm assuming the quick knife is much like that.

I ran it fine maxed light AA, no noticeable stutter. That being said its very likely graphics features havent been added yet

I'm not a big rush fan. I'm just enjoying it more then I did in BF:BC2.
I like conquest hell of a lot more.
when they announced BF3 I was hoping for a new mode to take over rush.
I think rush is there for the people that like smaller maps and fast game play. Nothing wrong with having different modes for different people.

Now about the tank/apc topic.
I complete agree needs to be boosted a little.
Remember real life doesn't = fun. Its about balance. I'm not say real life stuff isn't fun just not always and not for every game.
I think we all know this and Dice knows this.

Overall there are things I like and things I don't like but no doubt in my mind that BF3 will be excellent when it comes out.

I think my setup will play BF3 just fine. I may upgrade to a SB setup but not until socket 2011 comes out and I see the performance.

I wished I could have played the alpha but im sure the beta will be a lot better.

Yeah really wish I coulda played this more but the combo of non-custom keys plus unfamiliarity with map and mechanics kinda killed the fun for me.

Ah well beta soon enough and ended up having a great time with BC2. Found good matches and did well.

Some obvious ones here, but maybe you didn't have a chance to test all of these things in the Alpha:

I didn't test anything really. Except crawling prone and dying lmao

I had one 4 and 1 streak there but all total luck. Like the headshot I got on one dude I couldn't even see as we were both in the bushes.

It's an open beta across all 3 platforms. Apparently will not be the first one (MOH LE owners) but at some point in September they open the gates, so to speak.
