radlord 24 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Caspian Border wasn't unlocked for long on the PC.I'm not sure where this 'compressed' stuff comes in, they're not compressing textures or anything, that's a pretty strange idea.Due to plaltform holder certification issues the 360/PS3 builds are a few weeks old apparently. The graphics are not great, but I suppose might be improved slightly on release. The console versions look like the PC version on low settings, but it hardly matters it's still going to be a far, far more nuanced and interesting game than the boring, limited and soulless MW series.And I agree the silly bugs are going to hurt BF3 sales, people don't really distinguish between betas and demos, mainly because publishers themselves hardly seem to anymore. It seems such a weird choice of map as surely EA are aware that people are going to be basing purchasing decisions on it.It was always going to be trounced by MW3 though.

MW3 will sell 15m+ on it's name alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Sasac 164 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 DICE have released a list of changes they will be making after feedback from the beta:Fixed occasional client crash when reviving.Fixed killcam showing glitched area under map if your killer is dead.Issue with spawning on dead squad mates fixed.Fixed a bug where shooting at a moving enemy could cause more than the intended amount of damage.Crosshairs for shotguns have been replaced with a new, thinner, art.A subtle low health screen effect has been added.Tweaked scores of Medals and Service Stars.Tweaked the Rank progression.Pushing prone on console will not play the animation twice.Fixed loss of Squad Leader after EOR at some times.Framerate stability fixes.The 3D spotting icons has been tweaked to better match the target’s visibility. Icons will show frequently less on mostly obscured targets.Fixed issue with crosshair disappearing after round transition.Fixed issue with crosshair disappearing after trying to deploy while the countdown timer still active.Squad list now shows specializations chosen, VOIP activity and dead squad mates.Non working options in squad menu fixed: “Private” flag and “Switch Teams” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,556 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 never played battlefield games, always been MW or CoD games, is battlefield 2 any good?It's a preference thing here, if you like bf3 then people will say it shits all over cod or vice verse with CoD to Bf3. Personally, I don't like it but that's me, download and try the beta .. You'll get your own ideas from it rather than listening to fanboys from both sides shouting each other down !

Jelle1880 225 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Looks to me like they made a mistake using an older build of the game for the beta.Despite stressing that the only reason for the beta is testing their servers (which seem to be doing ok) people are still bitching about issues, which for all they know could already be fixed in the newest build.

papaguy51 912 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I can appreciate a half finished Beta, but this is due out shortly yet every time I went to lie prone in the central park area in the demo I fell through the floor A glitch and a half!

PaulRFC1 115 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I stuck it on and was loving it.Enjoyed the map and just thought it was very good.I love the big maps, squad based realistic gameplay opposed to Cod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerwelly 115 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Always played COD never played Bf apart for the demo for Bf2. Didn't like it. Started playing the Beta for Bf3 had a few games didn't like the map, kept dying quickly, couldn't shoot anyone and was about to delete but decided to have another shot first. Then I got the optical sight and what a difference it has made. Now I am learning the map, not to run about like a headless chicken, still getting shot - a lot but it's starting to grow on me and I am starting to like it and the different style of gameplay. Not enough to desert COD despite my love hate relationship with Black Ops and I am really looking forward to MW3.PS anyone know what's happening with Zappella (I think) original developers of Modern Warfare. I am looking forward to see what they do next or is there still a court case to be settled first? Thanks in advance for any info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iakona 2,260 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Since no else has mentioned it.. EA have confirmed that hi-res textures will be on the retail disc for the console versions of BF3.. But to use them you need to install it onto your HDD.It still won't be comparable to a PC on ultra settings, but it will look alot sharper!

Gerwelly 115 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I have not been able to play. When I try and starry multiplayer game it says I have lost the connection with EA.
