I have this issue too. I'm generally a low-sensitivity gamer, and right now I have my sensitivity pretty well dialed in. But then whenever I hop into a vehicle turret my crosshair starts spinning in circles.

maybe through a console command? Someone need to research what is possible to tweak.
Actually, the pacing is one of the problems I've always had with Call of Duty. I always felt as if there was no actual downtime. The game was always cranked up to 11 which ultimately resulting in everything feeling like one continuous note. A slower pace would actually be an improvement for that series.BattleMonkey said:

If you are expecting BC2 like destruction based gameplay. No. Especially not in the smaller and urban environments. It does play great though. It's just a different.
But I really have to play some more to really get into it. I really sucked last night and it probably influenced my judgement.

I would like to move up into the elite PC ranks, but as my previous post stated...I dont know if I could run the game lol.
When BF2 came out I just bought a brand new PC, popped in the disc and play for 2 years striaght lol.
Half the stuff you guys are talking about I have very little knowledge of, heck if you see my older post Im not even exactly sure of my entire PC specs :/
Plus you guys alwasy make me worried about buying a PC game cause everytime a new game comes out it seems like a majority of you gusy have to do 100 things to get it to run properly.
My dumb-ass is more of a "pop in disc" play kinda guy. The whole downloading drivers, opening ports, etc.. makes me far to overwelmed that I'll buy a game and not be able to play it or play it at a worse framerate/resolution then its console counterpart.

this game has maps designed for air vehicles as well compared to BC2.
just spent a couple of hours on a 64 conquest server going through various maps
most of them look pretty cool, but Metro 64 is just plain retarded ... wtf was DICE thinking there? there are 3 choke points in the station, and it just becomes a triple 10vs10 rpg fest from then on. No option to flank or do anything tactical. I liked it as a rush map but this just doesn't work. It either needs more tunnels or some other routes that connect the park and stock exchange plaza.
Fortunately every other map seems to be an absolute blast (except for the lag issues that plague Tehran Highway at the moment) , and the sound and graphics are amazing ofcourse ... performance seems *slightly* improved from BETA, I feel like I can enable 2x MSAA without gameplay disadvantages now
Really sour on the apparent lack of any tutorial/training options though ... am I supposed to learn to fly choppers/jets by camping them on a ranked server then get killed 25 seconds later? there aren't even any unranked servers at the moment!
oh well back to playing

Just got back from Kmart. To anyone planning on going there to use the Batman coupon make sure that you dig through the copies for LEs. They only had 2 of them at my Kmart and they were hidden in the back. There also is a $20 coupon with purchase of BF3 so I'll be using that for Uncharted 3 next week.

The downside is if you had anything planned for today, you probably wont make it.
Beyond that there is no downside, EA wont Ban people for getting early access to a game they PAID for.
And i dont think they even care anymore, which is why the pushed the Digital release date up.

What are your system specs?
I'd like to find decent recommendations for a 6850.

Well you might like it then better, the game has lot of moments where nothing is happening but characters chattering, driving somewhere... lot of fluff moments in the game that seem to pad things and space em out... lot less of the pure rush action found in recent CoD titles. Though it does have segments that are basically non stop run and gun.

QTE, talk about boring. How many of these things does the game need? Anyway,
How much of the SP campaign do I have left to go?
I just finished the shopping mall level where you capture al-basir or whatever his name is.

Yeah, and it seems to be stopping me from joining servers. When it works though, wow this game is amazing, and the sound makes things terrifying (close-quarters combat in the Damavand Peak tunnel is SCARY!)

This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5eLbPQt_Pk with the rockets has me so hyped for the game. I don't get my money until later today, so i'm still waiting to play.
Ughhh I was going to be all good and wait for Friday, but you bastards made me feel all dirty and unlock it early yay!
Hmmm I now have 4 Battlefield 3 games in Origin Alpha / Beta / Release / Unreleased lol
edit: woah at the logo intros, talk about making people have a fit... way too flashy and annoying. :/

Gameplay servers did fine in the beta. Try filtering on those. I guess most other server hosts just discovered the effect 64 players have on one server.

IF the SP for BF3 can match the intensity and emotion of MoH, I'll friggen LOVE it. I mean, the firefight towards teh end of MoH
When they are all pinned down into a couple small buildings and it looked like they were left for dead, just to be saved in the nick of time by the chopper
Ok so to those who have had issues. i did three things, and i was able to play now without issues !
Give punkbustera.exe admin privilieges in properties, uninstalled and installed punkbuster completely, psuhed on the game in origin to check my game files, and it downloaded 40 mb out of the blue, after all this, i could play without issues in punkbuster enabled games. I had to do the proxy thing for activation again though

So I just ordered the standard download version off amazon, where can I buy the limited edition features if I own standard edition?
Pkm said:
Well I downloaded the game and pressed play. Played for a good 3 hours yesterday w/o issues, maybe the occasional disconnect but those are server issues. The people doing 100 things to get it running are the minority I think, those that do get it running off the bat are less likely to post about it.
If you want to have the best possible pc gaming experience and you're not all that tech savvy the best thing you can do is dedicate a machine just to pc gaming (no other software installed) and pretend that a games release date is really release date + 2 weeks.

Don't like CoD at all. And not a fan of these rails-trigger-FPS games. Never buy them. But this is probably why I don't absolutely detest the Dice takes on it. I think the interragation is stupid, but because of the graphics, I can plod my way through and mildly enjoy myself. I can handle something of this nature once every year or two without it grating on me too much. And since it's basically free since I've bought the game anyway, it's worth a spin. I know people say it's vastly inferior to CoD, but I do find Dice's takes more enjoyable (probably says more about how much I hate CoD).

I tried to launch the game quickly before work this morning but I didn't have time I won't be able to play until either midnight and if I pass out, tomorrow after work. Can somebody tell me if this will handle BF3 at 1080p, Ultra, with either standard AA or off, and will I be able to achieve 60fps?

Got stuck in the reinstalling loop.
Game ran so good last night. Thank god I have awesome 30mbps internet now. If this happened a couple weeks ago on my 1mbps connection, I'd probably go buy the disc.
I've got a wildly overclocked 460 and the same CPU and RAM. Getting very playable 30-60fps with a mix of high and ultra with 2xmsaa.

I think the criticism of the SP is a bit too harsh. From the prejudice of BF & SP never go together this is just judged even harsher. From a gameplay point of a view it has some weird bugs and bad design. From a cinematic experience to interesting story I think it delivers. It looks fucking amazing all the time, especially the villa is very pretty but as are many other scenes. Though the story starts really slow and kinda uninteresting near the end it really kicks into gear in my opinion.
Its nothing groundbreaking, it does little new. But as a story and experience its really good. Enough that it doesn't bring the rest down, like a lot of reviews are saying. Maybe they expected too much, or were just too sure before they started playing.
