Battlefield 3 Clubhouse

[MxPhenom 216]

Hey as long as it still plays as a good PC game, so far I feel that vibe and can't wait for Back to Karkand to enhance the traditional Battlefield vibe even more. I don't think that article matters all it says to me is that they didn't focus enough on the console versions and were running outta time.





EDIT: It's really hard to look around the cockpit of a jet when using a 360 controller its very slow, is there anyway to speed it up without increasing mouse sensitivity globally?

what im thinking is that. they basically got the engine and basically the whole game code written and built specifically for the PC FIRST. Then they realized they didnt have much time for the consoles so they just left the PC where it was at(thats why there are quite a few bugs) and went to the consoles to get those finished up by release date

One thing i wish they would have done is used a bit more tesselation on a few things. Instead of just using tesselation on the entire ground/landscape, maybe have used it on the the rocks on some of the maps and trees. Maybe the walls of the buildings and such. Like on Seine Crossing etc


Has anyone noticed that on the edge everything on some of the maps randomly have black lines around the object as if it was outlined with a fine point black sharpie? It does it randomly for me on maps like Grand Bazaar. Makes it looks like Idtech

There are a handful of non-game breaking bugs. I would consider BF3 one of the smoother launches in recent memory, when you compare it to the likes of Rage, Dead Island, and various other titles for the PC (Skyrim is coming, and Bethesda loves releasing glitchy games). They probably built the entire game around the PC and ported it to Consoles--which is exactly what they said from the start they were going to do. All that article really does is back up their original claim of prioritizing PC development. Exactly when they started working on the Console version is largely irrelevant.

Why? The game is easily the best looking game on the market, and it is optimized VERY well. I would rather have an incredible game that runs very well like BF3 than a game like Crysis at launch where almost nobody could play it at launch. Sure, they could have done some stuff to make it look slightly better, but I like to think the trade off is that they spent more time working on the gameplay, and less time tesselating an entire ocean under the level (looking at you Crysis 2).

Well i wouldnt say approach tesselation like Crytek did with Crysis 2. Put tesselation on things that could use it. I mean they used some i will give them that, but i dont know i love tesselation and what it does to objects. gives them more distinct look and depth to them. Adding to the realism of the surroundings. It is one of the best looking games I played.

just played in a horrible server. all people wanted to do was talk shit. Took that server off my favorites. If they want to do that they can go back to CoD like all the other 12 year olds

Lol my team seemed more concerned on K/D ratio then capping flags,Me i could not even get out of the spawn and managed to cap at least 2 flags on firestorm then on Bazzar we won,Only because the level 39 -42 guys showed up,They had 42-4 and on your team some guy named lordz had 45-5 boy oh boy.They only played the last 10-15 mins of the game,Also they seemed to spawn camp u s the first round.Forgot when i did manage to get out of spawn with lav-25 my own damn stupid enginer nube tube me then would not even repair ....just kept on running to the choke point to get killed....darn fools.



Just seen this we are getting the R7 patch look

NOTICE We will perform maintenance on our servers (all platforms) on the 2nd of November at 10:00 - 111:00 GMT. During this time, you won´t be able to play online.

Just wanted to make sure everyone was paying attention to the fact some weapons have benefits beyond their description. Example would be the M320 attachment. When used in conjunction with the under-rail, it not only allows for faster switching between your primary and underslug, but it is also a foregrip. The M320 actually improved the accuracy of your assault rifle. The KH2002 does not have a under-rail.

So note the design of the weapon such as the PDW-R (free foregrip due to design of the weapon), AS-VAL (free silencer), and the AEK-971 (faster reloads..not sure why). These little things may help identify some weapons that fit your play style that you have not given a chance yet.

Just got home from a long day of work and then coaching. Signed in to play and found (as previously mentioned) that the servers are down
This makes me very sad.

Just found this little article from AMD gamers blog,Look at some of the settings they tested.http://blogs.amd.com/play/2011/10/31/your-personal-mini-guide-for-battlefield-3/

Hope some of read this and post it in the OP one for reference on setting using AMD graphics.

Not me. But the funny thing is his Score per Minute is the same as mine
However his accuracy is far better

 

[MxPhenom 216]

oh WOAH!!!!!!!!

i was going to update my sig stat thing, but then noticed. It updates itself!

 

[erixx]

thanks Guillie for the maps links. I've been searching for that!

Do you notice that some maps have more map area only on RUSH!? At least 2....

Joystick, I think there should be sliders for sensivity and curve and deadzone, like any other serious game. Mine is fine as long as I handle it extremely slow, but any quick movement turns the copter into a crashing meteor!!

I briefly considered asking to join the platoon and/or come on teamspeak but given that I have a Scottish (not Hollywood Scottish) accent it'd be like this:

Me: Hi Guys
<anyone else>: What?
Me: Hi!
<anyone else>: What?
Me: I said 'H-E-L-L-O'
<anyone else>: Eh?
Me: Oh forget it. {then i leave}
<anyone else>: Forget what? Why'd that Aussie guy leave.

Might still try out the server though if lags not too bad.

Is anyone else getting this error?

Any idea what to do?

 

[DannibusX]

Bta, no everything appears to be functioning fine. Did you try closing/reopening your browser or rebooting your computer?
