Well I guess you're outta luck. Seems you aren't the only one though.

Well that's a funny video for people who have issues with BF3 beta/not on Steam

I would say you would need atleast a 4870 1GB + to play this game decent.

im sure Crossfire will help me out a bit when the retail version releases, and i can suffer with lower settings til i can get a new gpu. I know its the 512MB that holds me back in games.

I am having a brilliant playing time and killing a ton, got nice upgrades like scopes etc, really getting into this demo.
And no, it is not bugged. (one area is, yeah)
Only thing missing now is teamplay,... it's next on my to do list.

Meh I'm just like ya anyways. I played BC2 with my ageing card, I can do with 1680x1050 as long as it plays smooth. BF3 will decide if I need a new one or not since I'm barely gaming any more. If it doesn't appeal, well I guess I'll be stuck in the stone age!

Haha, Yeah, but since beta's stats won't count, I guess a lot of people are testing stuff, so teamplay won't be at its peak.

Being bolt action in real life doesn't mean more power. Tends to mean better accuracy. .308 auto or bolt doesn't matter. Both are .308. What makes the difference are the tolerances. Semi should be less accurate then bolt. That would achieve balance.

Oh I know it doesn't, and I know many rifles in these games would kill 1 shot regardless. But I'm talking from a video game perspective. 1 shot with the MK11 from 30 yards in the chest is way to easy to kill people with. It's just retarded to play against. You want to win in the subways, grab that or an SVD, when you see someone, just aim about close and fire as fast as you can. If one connects, you win. And bonus is they are far more accurate hip firing than the bolt actions, since they aren't meant to be used in the same manner.

Also it's funny you mentioned that tower is from krypton, you should check post 4440, lol.

That so true ounce they all get a wind of it.. they all start using it,This morning at least half of the other team was using them,They need a fixing since they are not as powerful as say the 45-50 cal guns.Also i notice some guys with them at full auto at close range.

QFT

This mess should be called alpha 2.0 i haven't been able to rank since yesterday because it always freezes or looses connection to the server before the round ends it was fine monday 25+ rounds 0 points, does it save if i quit ?

When i have gotten the chance to use the pp2000 i was gunning ppl down like i had a mg3 even at range way more effectively then any of the other AR's or LMG's its retarded.
Secondly the opfor weapons starting are horrible compared to the us weapons which is bs. I love that combat knives no longer behave like a full sized katana where one click at 3 ft away = instant death.

Overall i like the battlelog it works well and the interface is nice and its a huge slap in the face to COD's pay service. The game engine runs excellent i was expecting it to be a lot more demanding.

Hopefully around late nov it will be enjoyably playable and i will pick it up as the connection/rank/balance issues i suspect will follow this alpha to retail.

I hope they make it like BC2 is and save your points as your play so if you get disconnected, you still have everything you played for

Yep, I mentioned that in this thread yesterday, it's bullshit. If you check the platoon it should show I made a post on the game forums, go and bump it. The MK11 and SVD are just retarded right now. And thats what we are playing for, to help them fix things.

1. Add me to the platoon please, username is QueenSix.
2. Is there a new password for the Caspian Border servers suddenly? I can't get in anymore using 'videokilledtheradiostar'. As of noon, EST.

Cheers.

Hmmm...I can't even get into a game that has 20+ slots available now...no idea why.

Edit: Looks like quick match is finally matching me with US servers. Unfortunately, although I can "join server," I'm still waiting on actually launching. Something is amiss.

1. Instead search for "Techpowerup" platoon and apply.
2. passwords changes constantly, but some servers keep the older one for a bit longer (everything apparantly)

I agree. Some of the weapons don't quite have the "pop" as the real weapons (.223) but I gotta say they are DAMN close. Love the shotgun. Its got the right "sploosh" sound.
