Definitely not old.

Holy shit, Caspian Border is fucking huge.

and even though we watched it through crappy compression, you can still see how good it looks. and dat sound...goddamn.

 

[TheJerit]

Sadly no. The servers for Caspian Border are up and running but you can't join. Maybe a surprise upload?

if i remember correctly, dice had said that this map would be visible, but wasn't part of the beta testing. part of another group of testing. hopefully they'll surprise us and release it mid-way through or something.

How does the health system work in BF3? From some of the vids I've seen it appears to be regenerative, although some of the classes can heal ?

The HUD doesnt appear to have any sort of health meter, the only one I wasn't sure of was the 'ATT' which I think is some sort of stanima display ?

Health is the percentage in the bottom right above ammo.

ATT bar is a graphical representation of the attackers remaining tickets.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Getting 160 in 2nd part of metro tunnel...yeah dudes

you guys will be fine with single setups. holy fuck it's awesome playing as a team..this wont last long lol

What resoltion do you use?

This is awesome news. I was expectibg this game to run like Crysis. Glad to hear that's not the case.

1080p. I've never gone below 80fps on my SLI 580s. Inside the tunnel it's usually 100+

here's another video that was uploaded today. the person is confirming/busting stuff that people asked about. what's the most interesting is that the lav is in his video, so it looks like it is in the beta after all.

Got trolled by my e-mail account. I saw Battlefield 3 and I went "OHHHH YEAHHHHH", then I saw "Save 15% on Alienware computers" and I went "oh fuck".

Not sure how much longer I can stay awake

Spoiler

after that Dallas vs Washington snoozefest sucked the remaining energy right out of me for three hours

I watched six, maybe seven rounds earlier and didn't see the LAV once. Are there infantry only servers in the beta?

1080p. I've never gone below 80fps on my SLI 580s. Inside the tunnel it's constantly 110+

Fantastic, makes me confident about 60+ at 2560 on ultra

 

[fin]

I just can't believe EA is doing it this way. It's pretty obvious to anyone that this is going to be a mess. Keys at around 3 and game unlocks around 8? Do the math.

Yeah this is a cluster fuck. I should have my key and the beta pre-loaded by now. Then when midnight strikes the beta is unlocked. But looks like Im going to have to start the beta download before work tomorrow and not play it till I get home...

Gosh, why the hell dou you quoting such a large pics?

Can we stop quoting all the damn pictures? Jesus, guys.

That is alpha footage, can tell by the broken sniper scope, think the hud is slightly altered in alpha as well.

How do you text chat in the game? The button isn't in the key bindings.

 

[theb0xmIke]

If i put on a low Resolution with 2+AA do you guys reckon i can run this decently on a 4850? (not super high or anything) or am i looking about medium?

Anyone running a 6970 or 6990 out there?

Does the beta have full destruction enabled?

Battlelog is still cock blocking me. How did you get in Smokey?

 

[woober]

Is the squad system working properly (letting you choose squad members, squad, and squad leader)?

 

[Somnia]

I had the same issue, close your browser, close origin, etc. re-start origin with admin and then it worked.

 

[Nabs]

Yeah, can you change squads / teams?

What is that tool that Smokey is using to get all that GPU info in game?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

What is that tool that Smokey is using to get all that GPU info in game?

Yeah, I wanna know it too. It doesn't look like FRAPS to me.

 

[Izayoi]

Smokey, why the small resolution?

MSI Afterburner.

Negative. Huge map, and apparently that's not even the biggest.

 

[Nekrono]

Smokey, what are you computer's specs?

I know you're running SLI 580's but what processor and how much RAM?

 

[Smokey]

I'm using 1080p. I've uploaded them to tinypic though.

Not sure if serious. Pretty sure not serious.

You don't need an MSI card

Core i7 2600k @ 4.4ghz
2x MSI Lightning Xtreme 580 3GB
16GB RAM
ASUS 1080p 120hz 3D Monitor
Intel 320 160GB SSD

The main components

I'm using MSI AfterBurner for the info. As you can see on my cards Ultra everything it taps out around 1.3GB of VRAM on the GPUs.

I was just trying to get them up as quick as I could for you guys. I already had tinypic up so I just used it.

Nah, I use it with an ASUS card.

Oh man I was hoping you had something less than a 2500k (that's what I have) now I don't know what to expect with that and my 6950.

min.us is quicker! D:

Now that we've seen them, you should upload .pngs to abload for us!

The 2500k and 2600k are identical as far as gaming is concerned.

are you able to see what it would run at with only on 580?

 

[Smokey]

Oh man I was hoping you had something less than a 2500k (that's what I have) now I don't know what to expect with that and my 6950.

You're fine. 2600k just allows for Hyper Threading (doesn't really have an effect on game performance). Other than that they are the same.

are you able to see what it would run at with only on 580?

I'll do that right now.

Yeah, this'll get you 100fps alright. Goodness what a monster.

 

[LordCanti]

Oh man I was hoping you had something less than a 2500k (that's what I have) now I don't know what to expect with that and my 6950.

2500 and 2600 are nearly identical (if not completely identical) in game.

 

[Somnia]

Not sure if serious. Pretty sure not serious.

Running origin in admin may not have done shit, but I couldn't get games to load in battle log, when I closed everything and started over it worked. Don't know what else to tell ya.
