I think only armored shield is 5 flag large, the rst are 7 on large.
Also Armored Shield rush the most unblanaced pile of shit i've ever played. No point trying to defend on that map.

defending in rush on any of the AK maps is a lesson in frustration.
Using msconfig to load only the graphic and network driver, the game still crashed on me.
However, I noticed something weird. If I turn on deferred AA, the game crashes in less than 1 minute. If I turn it off, I can manage to play until the part where you climb out of the train before it crashes. Does anyone have any clue on why the game is crashing all the time for me?

Thanks for the suggestion. Uh.. I have. That's why I called bs

Did you check your CPU and GPU temps?

Awesome air combat on Death Valley (PC version):

Tanks feel a little more disposable on the AK maps since there are so many of them. I've been pretty successful using mines over the repair tool.
Now this is BF. Maps look insanely beautiful, very large which leads to a lot of alternate routes on conquest but very dynamic gun battles in key areas, lots of vehicles, lots of fun, explosions, fun, more explosions, and then losing by 100 tickets... 
This has some of the best gun battles in the game too on certain flags since some of them are like mini urban cities with lots of rooftop access, etc.

I also have a 670 (evga ftw) and my game kept crashing with the newest beta drivers (forgot the version.. 606.04 maybe?). I reverted to a version prior to the newest ones and game works like a charm, now. I had no BRRRRR sound loops, though, it only crashed to desktop and "stopped working". So, check your temps and check your drivers.

So how soon before Seks comes in here and tells us the maps aren't balanced for 64 players
What do I use to log the cpu temp? Is there any application I can use to stress test the graphic card?

Guess you don't play with anybody who knows how to use a stinger then.
Here you can find the tools I use: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=33529144&postcount=1
Real Temp / HWMonitor can give you CPU temps (HWMonitor also handles GPU temps).
Prime95 to stress test your CPU and follow below for GPU stress testing:

It sounds to me like your CPU is unstable. Even if the temps are fine, your voltages may be off.
Thanks for all the recommendation. I think CPU should be fine as I usually use it for vray rendering which forces the cpu to go 100 percent up to a couple hours. But I will give it a try later or this is going to haunt me forever. BRRRRRRRRRRR. Sounds like the game is mocking me.
Didn't dig it in the first couple of matches, but after a little bit of time I'm loving Armored Kill. Flag placement is much more satisfying than vanilla and the map design is excellent. C-130 is viable as a quick burst of air support, but otherwise doesn't feel too overpowered.

So I bought the premium edition from origin and just downloaded it, now it's telling me I only have the original limited edition and have to pay extra for the premium stuff.. Anyone else have this issue?
Check your email, iit should say you got refunded for preordered premium edition and gave you limited edition for free. And it should have a link to bf3 premium for $49.99.
What M14?
Agreed. In the short time I got to play last night, the maps and vehicles are great. The C-130, in conquest, feels pretty balanced so far.
I naively hope that Battlefield 4 brings back commander mode for the PC version, I don't think that 64 players works very well at all without it. DICE's reasoning for removing it was because the commander spent all the time hiding, so they moved his capabilties to the squad leaders. I just think that the lack of the commander turns the game into something that was reasonably tactical (especially with the larger squads and greater number of class roles) into squad deathmatch. I remember having awesome times in Battlefield 2 playing as a squad, especially in Special Forces, flanking enemies and defending certain points (perhaps the larger maps had something to do with this also) following the commander's orders. In Battlefield 3, squad leaders can explicitly tell you to do 2 things: attack and defend, and very rarely do I see the latter picked. It's all about attack, attack, kill, kill, kill, AWARD UNLOCKED. It's depressing, and I know that Battlefield 4 won't bring back any of that because of how aggressively EA wants to make a new casualised shooter every year.

Wtf, that's weird.. Also for some reason my mouse doesn't work properly on any of the in-game menus.. Makes it damn near impossible to navigate the options menu unless I go to windowed mode.. Can't believe a game this mature is this buggy. If I move the mouse a few inches down and to the right from the thing I want to click on it will THEN be highlighted.. But i can only move the mouse so far to the right and can't click on everything as a result.

Thanks man, you too! I'm updating the community thread with our Mumble info, if you ever want to use comms.

Considering that deferred aliasing caused your computer to crash faster I'd say GPU.
What was your GPU temp?
Get Gpuz if you dont know.
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
Try running BF3 in windowed mode.
It was 80 degrees on hwmonitor. I will try gpuz later.
damnit. This is such a hassle having to rma the gpu.Yeah no, something that actually allows me to run in full screen mode
You'll have to put up with it since BF3 lacks a fullscreen windowed mode. Even having your second monitor run off a different GPU (integrated gpu with game running on the dGPU) doesn't allow you to watch video while playing a fullscreen D3D game, it's constant stuttering.

Both CPU and GPU were at 80ºC? That actually doesn't seem very high for a stress test.
Yes. The cpu was lower. Max temp was only 76 degrees. The computer crashed when gpu reached 80 degrees though.
I sort of suspect the PSU.
Erm, I'm playing tons of fullscreen games while watching movies without problems, BF3 is the only game I'm having problems with.
Really? I've never been able to
Low 80s should be "fine" on a GPU. PSU may be the problem, indeed.
Laggy as in frame drops? If so, it's not surprising considering their enormous sizes. I notice less dips on this than Karkand maps though.
If you're referring to rubberbanding, that's probably just your connection.
EDIT: Ah, rubberbanding. Check on Speedtest and see if you get packet loss. You can still have great ping but loads of packet loss.
