Title: BF3 beta soon?
Post by: M0nkey_Man on September 24, 2011, 11:19:50 AM
If you have origin you should be getting an update, I was reading through the stuff and it said in game support for BF3 beta so I guess it is pretty soon.


nvm early access confirmed for the 27th and regular open beta on the 29th

Anything on when consoles will be getting the beta? mainly ps3?


From the reports ive seen, its saying Graphics wise the Ps3 is giving the PC version a run for its money.

So far from the vids and gameplay shown, in the graphics compartment its going pc/ps3>360.

Im aware of that.

But lens of truth released a article stating the ps3's graphics were almost on-par with pc's, and that in some cases the ps3 even had better lighting&textures than the PC version.

it really depends on the PC,when I had my old graphics card the PS3 blew it aside. When I got my new ATI card i wondered why I even spent $300 on a PS3 when I could of bought the card for like $150. Any newer computer could easily make the PS3 nonexistent

Be aware that you're comparing a 5 year old system with a brand new computer. You have to admit, for being 5 years old, it has more then decent graphic capabilities. And $300 > $1000 computer, which probably won't run all games on max, and you're going to need to keep updating it to keep playing games at a better quality then a console.

Both consoles have been hacked. The difference is that Xbox Live was hacked many times for short periods, and PSN was hacked once for a long period. Either way, both consoles are great, overrated, and severely outdated.

Thats sorta true,

XBL was hacked back in 07 and shut down for 2 weeks due to it, in which 150,000 accounts info was leaked.

The difference between when it happened to PSN, and when it happened to XBL, is that the media didnt pounce on XBL the way it did PSN.

Because Microsoft is an American brand, Sony isn't.   :P

Have you been on Xboxlive? There is more hacking in lobbies, and it's not Microsoft or Sony's fault, it's the game producers who don't care about anything but milking you of your money.

wheee....console war....


Xbox and PS-3 didnt get hacked, the servers did not the actual consoles. the M$ server and the Sony servers were hacked.

if the consoles were hacked they'd have to be done right in your home....

BFBC2 graphics are nice on PS, but game was "dumbed way down"on PS Vs. PC
PS obviously can't provide the  CPU, Ram or Graphics card power that PC has.
Don't believe me, try both, tell me which is tougher to play :aok

thats why i spent alot of moneh on my PC so i can run BF3 on max setting with little performance issues. when i was at gamestop they had a iraq war vet come in and cancel his preorder because he said it looked so realistic that it brought back bad memories of his time in combat.

They only have 1 map, and it really sucks.


If this is what battlefield 3 will be like I'm going to take my reservation money off of it.

It is, and it's incredible lame.

BFBC2 has better graphics.

Im probably going to get flamed by some for saying this, but 360 is confirmed to have the worst graphics out of all 3.


Like i stated earlier, Lens of Truth stated both the ps3 and pc versions were far superior to the 360s,and that the ps3 version may even surpass the pc's.

But then again, its just the beta. The bc2 beta looked very crummy as well, but it improved Massively by the time the game came out.

Yes actually it does, I just got done playing the beta. Looked great.  You should know tho that Dice never shows its full hand in just the Beta. Like bc2's beta, thwe graphics you see in it are NOT the full games graphics.

Sadly tho, theres 2 big problems with the beta.

1. they gave BF prone. this is horrible. with the maps being so big, its easy for campers to hide in prone positions and never be seen.

2. COD campers have invaded BF. my first game on metro was nothing but campers in prone using the LMG bi-pods.

as amazing as BF3 is, Having prone in it can seriously break this game.

After seeing that you can go prone in BF3, that's my biggest fear to gameplay because I really like the fact that you can't go completely prone in BFBC2.. I guess I'll wait and see what people think before diving into this game (as awesome as it looks on the surface)

Feel free to play the beta yourself.  Its available for download now on both consoles, and is an open beta for everyone right now.

Its extremely fun, even with the prone. plus people can no longer "dolphin dive" like they did in bf2. The guns have realistic recoil. (The ak74M is impossable to aim properly when going full auto) plus the destruction possible is awesome.

Ive had more fun playing the beta for 5 mins than i ever did playing BLOPS.  :aok

How exactly do you get BF3 for PC without going to the store is it on steam?
Title: Re: BF3 beta soon?
Post by: Reschke on September 28, 2011, 01:12:57 PM
I am already in it on the PC and just got in today with my XBL password. Google is your friend.

Well if you bought the Limited Edition of Medal of Honor last year you got in the Alpha and the Beta with a code....like several thousand already have...myself included. Or you can go to what used to be EA Store (now Origin) and download it with a code you might be able to find online.

Thats a negative ghostrider...the prone is fine and after the campers miss with the first few shots you just follow the rounds or snipers getting the sun flare off their scopes and its game on.

Thats with scopes, and from what ive read, the flare is only for rifle scopes.

It doesnt effect LMG prone campers using the bipod. which is what ive ran into at every corner. Mix that in with the low lighting and its a nightmare of camping.

If BF didnt have prone it wouldnt be a problem, but as stated prone could break this games MP.

wow...not 20 minutes ago my mom won a free PS3. i have to say it SUCKED. (flame suit on) the internet lags like crazy and the controller IMO is a really poor design. but i have to say that the graphics are on the same level for Xbox and PS3. if you really wanna get pissy about your consoles, do it in PM's. ive seen waaaay to many game threads ruined because of console wars. as far as BF3 goes, i think its going to really kick CoD in the ass  when it comes out. (gameplay wise)
