Eurogamer has discovered what is on each of the two Xbox 360 Battlefield 3 DVD discs.

"Battlefield 3 for Xbox 360 ships on two discs with endless hours of spectacular high-definition gameplay," EA told us this afternoon.

"Disc one features the stunning multiplayer, co-op levels and HD installation content.

"Disc two features the superb single-player campaign."

The PS3 version of Battlefield 3 will come on one, larger capacity, Blu-ray disc.

Eh, I disagree. People should get the chance to play it IMO.

It's not something that's GAF specific and as such should only be enjoyed by the people who have got accounts. Everyone has a right to try and get in I think.

Yeah, it will fill up faster, but that's DICE's fault. I think we shouldn't be selfish with it.

That's true on a wide scale, but for our community, it's not selfish. GAF is an inherently "exclusive" forum, so I have no problem wanting to help out gaffers over lurkers/anon's.

I don't mean to be rude but why on earth would you play the PC version on line with a controller?

This is how it was in BC2, click to spot, hold to see scoreboard. Does the board pop whenever it's clicked, even for a short period? That would be a problem. /edit beaten

Because it's comfortable. I led my team using a controller on PC yesterday, but have since switched back to KB/M because the no aim assist makes it very, very tough.

Thanks...what file? PROF_SAVE_body? What setting? "FOV" search reveals nothing. My meta.xml is essentially empty.
Click to expand...
yeah, body. just look for like the 3rd line. you'll see .7000000 or something, which equals "70" on the FOV setting.

Game runs above 60 FPS on beta settings (medium) with a 2500k 4gb of ram and a 6850.

Really fun, but it doesn't have the battlefield "feel" It has a bad company feel. Hopefully at launch with bigger maps, planes and other modes it will.

Overall it's good.

Anyone got a non-torrent link for the PC beta? A friend's Origin is completely shitting itself due to high demand and he'd like to be able to start the download in the mean time.

It's a health preference. I have healthy hands / wrists and I intend to keep it that way, I mostly avoid PC games because of keyboard and mouse.

You can get RSI from most activities, as exhibited by the "claw" most gamepad users acquire after a few hours with their sweaty mits on the plastic. If it's a serious problem for you I suggest better posture and a gyrosopic exercise tool to alleviate strain through non impact resistance training.

Fair enough.

Competition is going to be brutal, though.

I've been gaming almost exclusively on PC for the past few months because I'm a shallow graphics whore but I'm pretty partial to the 360 controller myself. I'm so freaking ready for a new round of consoles.

Is anyone able to get into a game on PC in the U.S.? I usually have like 10-15 people in on my friends list and now there's just one. So my guess is there are growing pains with the open beta but just checking...

If you play a pc fps with a controller you're a hindrance unless the game has aim assist things. And if you're playing a pc fps with aim assist you're doing it wrong.

Looks like everyone is getting kicked from Caspian. Quite a few servers are showing up in the list with open spots, and I'm getting kicked pretty early into a match.
