[Megathread] Battlefield 3

[flarecde]

My problem with BFBC2 has been more with Valve than EA or Dice, amusingly enough. Steam and Punkbuster still don't play nice. I can manually update the latter, but it's still no fun getting banned from servers because the autoupdate doesn't work in game.

I'm still wary about Origin though. EA's old service only allowed for limited redownloads, I didn't like that.

PC master race, report?

Edit: Nvm, misread that. So it's basically a COD-mode deathmatch for BF3, at least it still has double the players a COD game would.

That´s good.
I actually have never liked team deathmatch in any fps and I won´t prob never go on a team deathmatch server in Bf3.

The prices of a 64 man server are pretty high for multiplay and i3D.net servers.. about 70 EU for 64 man + 16 man clan match server from i3D.net.
If I´m reading this right its £128.00 for 1 month from Multiplay server... that´s just insane compared to what servers for other games cost.

The Death match sounds good, and it might help it self compete against the MW series even more so.
As far as requirements for this game, I was going to run out and buy a gtx 580 but remembered , well....they are trying to develop for console to so I will probably be fine with what I have >.<

Actually.. console graphics aren't anywhere near as great. You can tell just by watching the videos. The game was crashing with SLI GTX580s according the the BF3 blog

The game is still in alpha so its no wonder it crashes.. every game crashes at some point when your beta or alpha testing them, that´s the reason games are tested.

And yeah console graphics aren´t even close to high setting on Pc and MILES away from MAX settings.

Yea, DICE has said they wanted to get into the E-Sports scene with BF3. That probably wouldn't work very well with 64 players on huge maps and vehicles, so I guess this is exactly how they are gonna do it.

Rush is 32? I want 64 :<

Its kinda hard to have a 64 player rush when the map is cut down into parts in rush mode :/

Rush is 32? I want 64 :<

me too but it would probably be very hard to balance with 32 people defending. Remember as a rule half offense is always snipers!

24 is fine imo, More players is not always better.

24-32 is fine in rush and TDM but not in conquest where the maps are HUGE and I mean fucking HUGE.
