Battlefield 3 Beta: Info and Meetups [Over]

What do you mean on the highest resolution? Because that goes well beyond 1080p. Particularly if you involve multiple monitors.
I would look for the new PC thread and they have systems for all budgets in there.
I would say for 1080p, from scratch, probably 1000 or less to get a system that runs maxed out. Go beyond 1080p and the price goes up.

Sorry I should have specified resolution for one monitor...
The newer PC thread isn't getting a lot of attention, and I figured if people on here are playing BF3 with great spec computers they would have some specific advice...

For one monitor at 1080p, you can probably get away pretty cheaply.
Am I able to play the beta without a Nvidia or ATI graphics card? I keep getting error messages saying that my Intel Intergrated Graphics isn't supported. I don't plan on getting it on PC anyways, but I want to see if my computer is capable of running a game like BF3...it runs Portal 1 just fine.

Its possible that the game for consoles has been submitted for certification a while back. If it takes a few weeks to certify and ship to retail, then the final disc version should have been submitted already.
So a day one patch will incorporate changes that are just now being made and pushed.

Dont think so. The minimum requirements are for a DX10 card I think, so if your integrated graphics dont support that, then no way to play BF3.

Same here I have no problem using battlelog we just need to have the option to be able to have it ingame. If someone in my squad disconnects and rejoin there's no way for them to find the squad again and you can't stop someone else from joining. Hopefully all the squad issues will be resolved when the game launches.
I don't think that is going to run BF3. Portal is a 4 year old game on an even older than that engine.ChiefEdiri said:Am I able to play the beta without a Nvidia or ATI graphics card?

Someone posted that the 360 version failed certification twice already.
Don't know if it's true.

Yes. Keep trying, error message will eventually go away.

I have a i3 processor, 5.7 GB of RAM, 1.7 GB of video memory and I have more than enough hard drive space. I just don't have Pixel and Vertex shaders 5.0.

Did you miss the part about the "private" flag on squads? There'd be no point in having that button unless they intended to allow you to form your own squad, whether in battlelog or in the game client itself.
Squad control will come, it is only a matter of time.
if it doesn't I'll be shitting up some future DICE threads I imagine.

He wasn't alone.
Just played a few rounds on pc.
Screen sometimes stays blue when I spawn, then pops color back once I die
Can't change key bindings easily, and can't seem to change zoom to space and jump to mouse2 at all
research time

"I've got a great idea! Let's give the ATTACKERS a bunch of buildings to hunker into as they defend armed MCOMs, and make the ATTACKERS run across open terrain to disarm them!"ultron87 said:

My team and I had great success defending the last objectives last night. What you have to do as a defender is cover and setup spawns at the points of exit for the attackers. Have a squad in the B objective covering the main exit and a squad on each side covering the side exits. Don't go inside the attackers building instead bait them to go outside once they do they're at a great disadvantage.
We were able to hold off the attackers that way without breaking a sweat, the only time that I saw the last objective successfully defended.

Sounds like your team was stacked. If only all games played out so beautifully such as yours did, then everyone would win as attackers. If only...
BrLvgThrChmstry said:
I don't think it was stacked steams, as they were able to get to the last objective with relative ease. What I described would be the idea positions but I doubt you can coordinate that on a public server. Instead I just ran over the the right exit of the attackers base and tried to take on the attackers there and before I knew it my entire squad was with me and we were easily able to hold them off. In no smart part due to the advantage we had by being outside the exit.
Once you let the attackers leave their building and occupy the 2 buildings facing the A mcom than it's game over.
Success?

Now I just need my static minimap, and some way of seeing the entire map layout, preferably on the deployment screen.
6 player squads on PC would be nice too I understand limiting it to four on consoles, but why on PC? There's so many more players in our 64 player rounds.

I think the last stage of Metro is the way it is specifically to incentivize the defenders to stop the attackers before it gets to that point.
I've only been on teams that managed to hold stage 4 twice. Each time it involved dedicated squads covering each exit from the metro. They couldn't arm because we never let them get past that first street alive. There are perfect overlooks for Supports to mount their LMGs for each of the three exits. Just mow them down as they come out. Mount your bipods on the 3rd floor, put c4 on the 2nd floor. If any of them get out of the doorway killzones they'll be coming for you so you just blow the c4 when the time is right.
Simply put, the key is holding the 3rd floor of each building so you can always safely respawn *and* put a mass of fire on each metro exit and point B. Not so easy to organize in a pub match.

YES!!! Good to hear they've come to their senses and will add a perfectly functionnal feature that they had in their previous games. First time I'm glad about posting in a petition thread, 12k replies in a few days for an ingame squad management system.
It's good to know they made up their mind today after an intense meeting. Better late than never right?
I dont know if this has been already posted, but I just cant stop fucking laughing.
And why I love the EOD-bot.
