Battlefield 3 Clubhouse

Ain't seeing this screenshot from a console...

That looks sweet, even for a console!!!

 

[MT Alex]

Is anyone running crossfire HD5870's? I am getting a lot less performance than I thought I would get, I was expecting everything on ultra and a constant 60fps. Was I being a little optimistic??

I am and things are smooth at ultra, but I do get some dips. I imagine some of it is due to drivers and an unfinished beta code, a lot of it seems to be server lag.

 

[Sir B. Fannybottom]

I can't seem to join any games... I boot up the game, it opens my web browser and I go to choose a server. I choose one and it launches the game, I switch to the game it shows the map logo i guess you could call it, then it goes to a black screen where you think it's going to flash to the load out screen but it doesn't. It just locks up my entire computer and I have to click the restart button! Anyone else have this problem?

OK I'm hoping this is just a low. I'm feeling gaming cost me to much money
and tired of getting my ass kicked. Maybe it the 15 or 20 bee stings I got
yesterday when attacked by yellowjacket hive. Twice in one lifetime is to many.
I'll enjoy the campaign in BF3 , bit if I can't hold a .50 at least I'm done spending
dollars for something I suck at. Anyone else ever get to this point or I'm I just getting to old ?

You need more alcohol

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

I really sucked for a long while there and really didn't play online shooters for years (pretty much missed BF2 during it's heyday) but then I stopped being drunk which helped a ton. I'm still not relatively great but can compete and have fun these days.

Not claiming it's the Bud Light's fault for you but it definitely wasn't age in my case and I kinda figured it was for awhile. Of course, I also have two good eyes.

Well funny you said budlight because that is what I drink and more isn't gonna help. As far as age at 53 I doubt I will have a sudden increase in my hand eye coordination. Thanks though maybe I'm just feeling funky. I have a lot of other things I like to do and need to prioritize.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I've played the PS3 version more and still rage , mainly cause I keep on falling into the ground constantly and I seem to get killed by snipers 80% of the time

Yeah I fell through the ground quite a few times. Only happened in the first stage though, before going underground. I also get a strange artifact that I only have experienced with BC2 when I had dual 4890's. The entire screen will flash purple for a split second...

As for snipers....they are a pain in the ass....so i reciprocate by SVD'in their ass with iron sights.

Keep in mind though, aiming with a controller is enough to make me throw my PS3 out the window.

 

[BumbleBee]

Who cares. Its BF3 on a console. Nobody in their right mind would buy it for the console.

I care. if BF3 doesn't sell on console there won't be a BC3 or BF4

 

[alexsubri]

So I get on to play some metro rush and there are all these Caspian Border servers. Holy shit!!! pretty stoked with that as I thought it had already finished. What a friggin awesome stage, the aircraft are fun and the tanks are so much more realistic. I love how you can hit a tank with an rpg and disable its movement. Love the massive map and 64 player mode.

I have installed the preivew drivers 11.10 and still gets really laggy on ultra graphics. Damn it looks soooooo good though.

Sorta . . . I have crossfire 5850 (both flashed with a XFX XXX 5870) at 900/1250 and I get over 90-120 in Metro and 45-60 outside of Metro. On Caspian it goes from 35-50, but its BETA. I get random kicks, stuttering, and MAJOR FPS droppage! I would be at 60 FPS, and dip to 17 FPS. DICE has to fix these errors. It's seems more or less 58xx series that are getting these issues...

However, I do have everything on Ultra. Game looks good. The SFX are amazing

BF1942, BF:V, BF2, BF2:SF, BF2142 were never on the console.....and they made BF3 for the PC and ported down to the console.....watered down. Could care less about BF on the console. DICE seems to agree.

those were made in another era... like Quake and Unreal. remember them?

BF2142 was launched in late 2006 and its expansion in 2007. The Xbox360 was launched in 2005.

You jelly?

 

[BumbleBee]

the industry has changed.

 

[TheMailMan78]

the industry has changed.

If it changed as much as you say it has then why did DICE port down to the console? Why did Carmack say it was a huge mistake to develop for the console first and port up and that next time for the good of the industry hes going to port down.

Listen the developers are waking up to the fact consoles are starving innovation. Get used to it. PC gaming is just as big as it ever was. Maybe bigger. You are stuck with hardware dated from 2003.....and will have to deal with it even longer. Consoles better change generations and fast because innovation won't wait on them anymore. You are gonna have to get used to PC table scraps......like BF3.

 

[BumbleBee]

your such a neanderthal

 

[TheMailMan78]

your such a neanderthal

(drags one knuckle up and points) Yeah but da ladies love the caveman style!

 

[DannibusX]

BF2 came out in 2005, 2011 will see BF3. That's a pretty good stretch between title releases. No, there won't be a BF4 next year and that's fine with me.

Console vs PC is a stale debate. I could care less.

 

[MT Alex]

Why the hell is my skill rating only 4? 4 frickin' points. Sheesh.

 

[BumbleBee]

(drags one knuckle up and points) Yeah but da ladies love the caveman style!

listen, Carmack shipping Rage in the condition it's in after 6 years of development should be ashamed of himself.

 

[Raptor_i]

Had the same issue, did some testing, 100% related to graphical settings.

do u mean lowering the settings make loading faster

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

yes thats exactly what he means

 

[Raptor_i]

Once finished my work I'll try it, turn settings from ultra to high and see,it'll be like stabbing my self,i hope it'll be better in final version
