[Megathread] Battlefield 3

I'll echo the sentiments of staying away from the forums. I've been seeing a LOT of QQ about prone being in game, no killstreaks, et cetera.

Wouldn't complain at all if that were to happen.

Oh God, I hope that they never put killstreaks in BF. A loathe the idea of it. it may work in MW, but encouraging players to think of themselves and boost their streaks in an objective based game would just be terrible.

People are complaining about prone? WTH?! Wasn't there a massive uproar when it wasn't included in BC2?

"You call that a knife?" haha!

-snip-

Whoa. Some of those victims where just terrible and oblivious.

Well, this sucks, it's impossible to get into a server

Is this the server browser system they will use when it ships? =/ Not liking it very much so far.

I found this article funny: http://www.hotbloodedgaming.com/2011...d-3-open-beta/

I especially love the bit about:

Got your buddy “MLG QuiCkkSk0p3z LeGiiT Pro Tru3 420WeedSniper” wanting to run around with the bolt action rifle? It wont work.

LOL

Yes, this will be the browser for when the game is released. It isn't ideal, and I don't like it in the slightest, but that is kind of a given with DICE and their history of terrible server browsers.

Some gameplay i just recorded, jet footage coming soon

[JustintimeSS]

I'm pretty much done with beta now. I've gotten my fill enough to warrant the preorder I just don't have the patience to deal with the amount of servers/people playing/wait times.

I've been stuck in the game manager matchmaking process for the last half hour so either im doing something wrong or this might be the worst thing known to man. As of right now BF3 has gone from getting my money to not getting my money.

Join a server with the server browser not the quick match shit.

for the ppl that get a BF3.exe error thingie: try this fix: (worked for me atleast and a buddy)
You should rename the directory from "Bèta Battlefield 3" to "Battlefield 3 Beta" and change the registry paths under either HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/EA Games/BF3 Beta (32-bit Windows) or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Wow6432Node/EA Games/BF3 Beta (64-bit Windows).

You have to use the Windows Registry Editor for this. You can do this by pressing Windows Key + R, typing "regedit" and pressing Enter. Then traverse the tree as I described earlier. Double click the two keys which contains the "Bèta Battlefield 3"-folder and change it. Do not mess around in the registry editor, it can seriously harm your Windows installation. I take no responsibility for the fact you accidentally removed the whole SOFTWARE tree under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

It's a beta
Your data will be wiped
It's there till the 10th of oct


I wouldn't neglect people over that...even if it was the full game.

[-Atlass-]

Small hint.

Stick to the European servers.

The US servers have a HORRIBLE tendency to crash when a game is about to end (right when the final ticket expires or mcomm explodes) leaving you with no gained experience and all lost class progress.
