Battlefield 3 Beta: Info and Meetups [Over]

How exactly do the Recon radio spawns work? When I left click after having it equip there's no real indication of it doing anything...

And is anyone else having issues binding keys? Key bindings have no response to any of my key presses except for escape... and also I have no idea how to download this update people keep talking about. There are no prompts at all.

when you die you can respawn on them and yes binding is/was bugged for me as well but it sorta worked this afternoon

From the impression from you guys, Caspian Border is performing much better compared to Op.Metro.

Caspian was actually pretty damn laggy earlier today.

It wasnt like this just yesterday. Something happened between yesterday and today.

Hell, this beta is more of a beta than the alpha.

I think DICE stated a while ago that they had a day one patch ready to go and that this 'beta' amounted to a stress test for the servers.

How do you guys get in server queues? I try to join the caspian servers and I get a "Server is full" error but I don't see any options to enter a queue.

Yeah it's not appletini.


And add me to the list of people suffering from falling through the map / jittering / crashing on Op. Metro.

How awesome would it be if they decided to delete metro from the retail disk and replace it with another awesome wide open map instead :)
Why does it have to be deleted?

Wouldnt it be better to ask for another map?

The fact that you don't like it doesn't mean that others do.

Can Metro not be played conquest in the retail version?

I fully expect to see server titles like "All maps EXCEPT Metro!!" in the retail version. Everyone is gonna be tired of Metro after the open beta.
 
I got into Caspian. The difference between it and Metro is night and day. It's exactly what I expect, aside from a few flickering and animation issues.

In short, it's great. I was feeling a little iffy on this title after Metro, but Caspian is amazing. I think Rush mode was only included to make COD heads happy.

Also, I was complaining about the damage rate before. For some reason, it feels right in Conquest. Rush mode feels like a meat grinder compared to this.

THIS IS *NOT* HOW I WANT TO SPEND MY WEDNESDAY NIGHT


Help me GAF! I tried rebooting Origin and my laptop.
I must play GAF. What did I do wrong? It all started to go downhill after the update... Reinstalled the game, rebooted, whatever. Nothing helps. :(

Go to C:/Windows/System32/Drivers/etc

Open 'hosts' with notepad.

Delete everything after


# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

To be fair, reinstalling the OS would have worked =)

Really hope Caspian isn't optimized because it kicks the shit out of my pc.

i5 760 oc to 4ghz
GTX 460 1gb oc
1440x900

I was able to play Metro on ultra, but Caspian on medium has my framerate in single digits at times...it's unplayable.

It didn't actually work; I thought you were just fucking with my mind since I've messed with hostfiles before. There's nothing to remove under there. :/
