Still 40 minunutes until they are supposed to send out keys.

 

[Arcipello]

between 1pm and 3pm(swedish time) all keys should be released.

 

[Woo-Fu]

will that torrent even work? Doesn't the game need to be installed through origin?

If you unzip it where Origin would install the game Origin won't re-download any files it doesn't have to when you run the Origin install.

 

[Vasilisk 2038]

Very solid, indeed. And i didnt notice any tearming for now.
Also, the game is very smooth, more than BC2 for sure.

Well, i really glad i will get the PS3 version. The destruction, is gorgeous!

HYPE HYPE HYPE. Good to know about the tearing and the smoothness. Frostbite 2FTW!

 

[Phandy]

I remember hearing stuff about people who played the Alpha getting beta access. Was that scrapped when the beta went completely open, or are people from the alpha getting keys emailed to them to for the beta?


Also is caspian border in the beta somehow? Where are these videos/screens coming from of it?

 

[panty]

Helis are so damn slow, makes me sad. Also jets could be way faster.

Can anyone else download the ATI preview driver i keep getting some integrity check error, ive tried redownloading it a few times

Holy shit, that breathing...

FFFFUUUUU WHY DO I HAVE SCHOOL TODAY

 

[OdysseusVA]

I'm going to guess this is probably final. Never expected the beta to look as good as those exclusive titles, but you think it looks worse than Crysis 2 multiplayer?

Definitely.
I'm actually surprised how it doesn't stack up against those games (MP wise). SP may be a different story.

The one on the AMD site is broken.

Beaten.

Cheers ears.

 

[CozMick]

Fuck Yeah! downloading the beta now!

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I'm stuck at work. I won't be able to download until later tonight and I doubt I can even play it before I have to go to bed.

I thought only Metro is in the Beta?

 

[PatmanBegins]

i love the heavy breathing sound of the pilot as you pull into high G turns

Such phenomenal detail. It'd be even crazier if your vision started getting hazier or your screen started blacking out from taking too hard of a turn. Not expecting anything like that, just thinking out loud.

 

[Manager]

It's tested internally/on the side, so probably from lucky retailers or EA employees.

ArmA II + ACE mod and you can have all of that.

Livestream of the PC version, he's playing it on medium settings

Not the best screengrabs in the world, then again this site isn't exactly reputable with these sort of things.

How?

Gah'

 

[Arcipello]

Caspian is going to be playable later in the beta i suspect... you can quote me on that

 

[Manager]

How?

Gah'

See all of previous 5 pages, it's up on PSN (but not public).

 

[demolitio]

I think so as well. I'm not 100% sure, but it's just my guess. There's a lot of marketing benefits from having Caspian unlocked near the end.

 

[blahblah...blah]

I've wondered why the PC version is almost double the size of the PS3 version. It would be cool if they unlocked it a few days in, for the PC of course.

I'm also thinking the same, they probably don't wan't both from the start since they know people would jump straight to Caspian and forget about Metro and they want to test and receive feedback from both maps individually.

 

[CozMick]

How?

Gah'

Search the store, "Battlefield 3 beta"

I bought the MoH: LE so not sure if it's there for everyone :\

Isnt that because of bigger textures and other stuff that the pc version is much bigger than the console version?

It's there for anyone, you just can't acess it.

 

[pelican]

God I love how you see the glint from enemy player scopes in the distance.

 

[Dmax3901]

Just got my email! Australia here.

 

[ColonialRaptor]

I said it first (Caspian) in the other thread, weeks ago

BTW here is 4 minutes extended trailer of Caspian, I haven't seen it before now... hope I'm not old, but probably am.

Looks AMAZING, if anyone knows where this is in 1080p 60 please let me know.

Uhhh,WTF!?! This certainly does not look good at all.

 

[droppedbear]

Just got my origin preorder invite for PC, downloading now; located in Australia if that helps

 

[ColonialRaptor]

Just got my email! Australia here.

Origin or MOH LE?

Looks like the Australian emails are going out... but mine hasn't come yet

 

[NBtoaster]

My email from the MOH LE (PC) has just come.

 

[pelican]

Uhhh,WTF!?! This certainly does not look good at all.

It looks better in motion.

 

[Spookie]

My email from the MOH LE (PC) has just come.

How did you register your account? Just enter the key to origin?

 

[Manager]

Uhhh,WTF!?! This certainly does not look good at all.

That image is 1080p, the game natively isn't.

If anyone get's more than one... I'd be happy to 'trade', I'm expecting to get one, but I just can't handle waiting any more, I'm going nuts.

 

[DarkChild]

Of course it doesn't look better since :
1) their capture cards suck ass
2) its upscaled to 1080p

 

[Jburton]

Uhhh,WTF!?! This certainly does not look good at all.

Could not have picked a worse screen shot out of the bunch!

You getting on PS3?

What is BF3's resolution on console again?

Origin pre-order, downloading at a blazingly fast 75kb/s. Love Australian internet.

Yes, but you know that this thread will be full of screenshots of the "crappy version"

Yeah I'm in the UK so don't have a code from gamestop. All I got was a shitty flyer telling me to go to a website with no further infomation. Regardless I installed MoH and played it online so I better get my fucking e-mail.
