[RoboPlato]

I can't believe some of you are still trying to put up with that stream. I bailed an hour ago.

[Spl1nter]

The right side mcom for attackers on the 3rd set looks fucking impossible.

 

[Moaradin]

how bigs the beta download?

Don't remind me. I looked at the download size like 10 times before being brought down by the fact that the keys were already used. =(

 

[Recon]

Is it open beta? As in, the 29th i can play without doing anything special?

A guru3d member uploaded the 11.10 preview as the site appears to be getting hammered.

HERE

It's almost 150MB, the one earlier was like 26 so this one is likely real.

 

[Nizz]

Sparta jokes? Is this 2006?

Haha, that was painful to watch. Game looks great from what I could tell from that stream. Looks like it's running really well also.

 

[eternaLightness]

Yep. On the 29th it'll be available to everyone.

 

[Pat]

I did a preorder on Origin in August, am I supposed to receive a key or the beta just activates itself in the Origin software?

Preview build is same as final build, right?

 

[TheExodu5]

PLAYING NOW

Getting 95 fps SLI 580. ULTRA everything..in the 100s now

Awesome! SLI GTX 570 redeemed!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Close but they are putting these out as 11.10 but 11.9 hits Wednesday so I would consider these preview drivers. BUT they are for BF3 so rejoice!

Smokey, can you get some shots of the subway? Lighting is amazing there.

Smokey, can you get some shots of the subway? Lighting is amazing there.

Yes it is.

I will, new game about to start. Game is awesome. Love the changes they've made since alpha to the layout of the map.

 

[Spl1nter]

thanks man. this makes more sense as i had downloaded it twice before because i just couldn't believe it would be that small. ati drivers are always 100+. so i was going to hold off till tomorrow. now i don't have to.

 

[ArbiterMajor]

I'm going to bed, sadly I'll have to wait till the 29th.

[BBQMan]

Can someone who has the beta do a test for me if you hav a GTX 580

Can you set all the settings to low at 1920x1080@120Hz and 2xAA HBAO: OFF Motion Blur: OFF

and see what frame rate you achieve? I need to know this so I can decide on what system to purhase if someone could do that it would be fantastic thahnks.

Help please.

 

[sk3tch]

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.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Help please.

Be patient. Very few people have it. Come back in 8 hours!

Pretty perfect, IMO. Gives them a sample launch stress test, if that's what you want to call it.

Timing though? Not perfect, but hey this is how the game is going to be released so...

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

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

[ACE 1991]

Will I be able to download the beta client before the 29th?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Definitely not old.

Holy shit, Caspian Border is fucking huge.

Yep. 64 players, it's going to feel perfect. Let's hope it's not a ghost town in consoles... but then again, the game has different map size for different amount of players in server so I guess it'll be adjusted for consoles.

Will I be able to download the beta client before the 29th?

If you have early access code: yes. If not, no.

 

[Izayoi]

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

Well, I'm pretty sure the map is in the beta files, seeing as how large the download is.

It also says "Beta Build" in the top right.

Dice redeemed if true

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 ?
