[Megathread] Battlefield 3

[Punks]

Nope, they were password protected, so whoever knew the password. Although on twitter, one of the community managers said it's for employees / community members (I'm assuming important people.)

Yeah and they have logs....


Wouldn't be caught in there unless Invited, which has happened. They most likely didn't, but than again tomorrow wayyyyyyyyyyyy more people will log in.

Still great, really hope they actually open one more map, dunno.

Metro looked like a letdown but CB looks amazing!

They don't need "logs," they posted the password so the community could try it out for a little over an hour.

The password was intentionally released but not in large scale. They used the speed of things spreading on the internet to promote the password but the people who were't savvy enough to find it missed out. It wasn't some hacked PW to get in there.

Anybody know the new password for the caspian boarder servers?

Caspian Boarder gameplay, shows off some jet action and general stuff to be expected around the map. This looks more like battlefield to me. Better than Operation Metro by a mile.

Operation Metro looks a 1000 times more fun imo. In every single video I have seen of people playing Caspian Boarder, all the person have been doing is run run run run die. Pretty much no good action what so ever. You got 3 kills in 19min, I dont understand how that could be any fun at all.

Also, regarding some of the destruction-talk. I seem to recall them nerfing it halfway through the Alpha, and later commented on that it was too easy to abuse, and not really lifelike.

On the one hand, I'm sad to see explosions go. Because, let's face it, they ARE cool. On the other hand, I'm happy to see them taking an interest in preventing abuse - while slightly curious what exactly was abusable.

I can only think of attackers being able to make shortcuts to the mcom which if thats a serious problem just make the walls around the mcom's indestructible not the entire game

Do the jets and helicopters have missiles? All I ever saw was guns being used.

I read you have to choose your loadout. Do you want air-to-air or air-to-ground? This could obviously be speculation from someone online but I gotta admit it would be fun to choose unlocks like you do in ground fights.

I hope so. I'm probably do a AtG loadout and use guns in the air. It looked to be effective.
