FIVE more days!! :x
I just cannot wait to play this game.
PC version with 64 Players on one server!
I'm kinda bummed it's not available through Steam, but I guess trying out Origin should be interesting, as long as I get the same game, I'm happy. :aok
-
Ya, I cant wait. btw, origin actually isn't that bad. :aok
-
It might be a matter of time until it is available via steam. steam has such a great influence and later I think they will make it available so more people get the game
-
When I was downloading the Beta for BF3. It took 4 hours, then when I clicked play. It said something was wrong with the game. :cry
Anyways, I didn't download it again. I'm sure the full game is going to be absolutely amazing. I personally can't wait! :aok
EDIT: Quick question, I pre-ordered the PC version of BF3 from gamestop, will that come on a disk?
-
Double post.

on PC i only had a 17 min download and just add it to steam and your good

Just pre-ordered it, very excited.
My IGN is probably going to be Titanic3 unless some one who thinks exactly like me pick that name. :rolleyes:

I'm bummed I need Vista or Windows 7 to play. If I'm going to upgrade to Windows 7, I'd like to go to the 64 bit version. But as we know the 64-bit version doesn't work with Aces High (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,320845.0.html).

Huh, that's interesting I never saw that thread, I'm running AH fine on Windows 7/64-bit.

That's odd. I can run AH just fine on my crummy Toshiba laptop --> Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

IIRC, you can load two OS on one PC. I'm not sure how, but the geeks can help you with that.
IMO, you should upgrade, I have Windows 7-32bit and want an upgrade myself, but I have no problems so far, so why fix something that's not broken, right?
Windows XP is getting outdated by the second, and in 2-3 years, Vista and 7 are going to be the norm with Windows 8 at the top. And besides, lots of games uses DX11 to great effect these days, I'd say go for it.

So I will be able to use my CH gear with BF3? I only tried the beta once and it didn't work. I'd love to play this, but I'm sick of console ports.
-
BF3 was focused on PC, not consoles, unlike most games these days. I can use my joystick with it in BFBC2, so I bet it would work in BF3. If it can have a function mapped to it, it can be used.
I even heard guys that used their steering wheels from racing games to control the vehicles in BC2.

So if I can find one user that had a problem with AH2 and XP you think AH2 won't work with XP either? No dude, I have played AH2 on Windows7 x64 for years without a single problem.

That was just one thread and one user of many. The disturbing part, if you read the one thread I linked, is where the HTC team admits there are problems with Win-7 64bit that are fundamental to the OS, that they cannot work around. If you're afflicted by them, its pretty much "sorry about your luck, its Microsoft's fault, nothing we can do."
From the responses in this thread however, it seems many of you aren't affected by it. So maybe I'll take the risk.
-
Its preordered but my video card wont run it... :cry :cry :cry

Its the usb headsets that get the game to disco with a 64bit setup of win7 from what I understand. I switched to a non-usb headset and rarely disco now. The usb headsets have a sound card of their own and win7 cant keep up with 2 sound cards so it gets a brain freeze and off to the desktop you go.
-
Its preordered but my video card wont run it... :cry :cry :cry
Then cancel the order? :headscratch:
Unless you're looking to upgrade of course. Although if you want to run the game smoothly at ultra, you're going to need a lot of juice. Of course, this is based of beta, so they might have optimized the game to run better.
What card do you have? I have a pretty low-tange card, a Radeon 5570 that ran BF3 smoothly on medium/mixed high settings.
If you have a really weak PSU, 300W and under, this is the card to go. It's fantastic on my 220W Dell. Runs great for the games I play.
-

what kinda card you got?
-
<---- is going to the midnight release!!! :banana:
Mainly because I'm up that late anyway and I got nothing else to do. :lol
-
Don't get trampled :lol
And remember, if you're in the east coast, the game servers don't open up until 3AM because it's based off PST.
-
:cry
Guess I'll go through the campaign for a few hours. Hehe
-
I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure you can't go on the campaign either. The game launches from your web browser, and that website probably won't be up until 3AM EST.
If it thats true, then go to sleep you bum :D
If it's not true, I'll race ya to beat the campaign in 3 hours. :devil
-
in 3 weeks oll have new insides. provably gdtting oc version. test my new goodies. i7-970 and an evga gtx460. omce i get internet...

I suggest the 6770, only $100-$130 and runs AH with the eye candy,and most other games with full graphics

Im looking into it but might be a christmas present. The worst part is I got free release date delivery from amazon so I'll have a useless CD for 2 months... :frown: :cry

Well I was almost convinced to upgrade to Windows 7 and buy Battlefield 3, but then I saw the Battlefield 4 trailer, so now I'm going to hold out for that:

Rather than go the digital download route I ordered a hardcopy from Newegg. That delay between release and when UPS comes a knockin' is going to be tough. :)

Hmm, I always preferred digital copies. What makes you shy away?
Faster, quicker, and speedier. :D
Unless you're one of those paranoid people about using credit cards online. :noid

In this case it just didn't occur to me til this afternoon, I order stuff through Steam all the time.

With only a few hours to go...
I would like to thank my parents for raising me up to see this game
I would like to also thank my friends that encouraged me to play BF3
And a special shout out to my peeps at DICE and EA, you guys made it happen. :cry
*Sniff*
And finally, I would like to take a moment of silence for our recently deceased social life and girlfriends.
DICE bless you all! :cry

Something weird is going on, when I go to campaign mode the intro screens stutter through and the sound loops back, and my motherboard horn goes off after a while in the main menu, like my cpu is overheating, but my cpu is above spec, it's a Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93 & 2.13GHz. According to EVGA Precision my graphics card is hardly even being used, and I just updated my graphics and sound drivers. I do have a sound card.
Help?

Went to the midnight release. ALOT more people than I expected there to be. must of been like 100-150 people standing in line.

At the gamestop where i was at, there was 3 teens standing outside decked out in MW3 gear trying to tell everyone how much better mw3 will be than bf3. they tried to recruit me. A short pointout of how much of a complete wreck the COD franchise has become caused them to retreat from the store. ;)

Yea, that happened to me too, I messed around with the audio settings and turning off the second option (sound ambient? Something like that), fixed it for me. I'm running a Core 2 Duo at 2.9GHz and a Radeon 5570 with 4GB of RAM on Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit. Runs smoothly at the preset High settings and 1360x768 Resolution. Only chokes during lots of smoke.
Expect lots of patches/updated drivers to be released in the next couple of weeks.
I also get TONS of lag on 64 player maps, but not on 32. Which I don't mind. I bet they'll fix it sooner or later. And it's not just me either, a couple of other guys were complaining about it too.
But all in all, one word describes BF3..... SEXY

Same deal. Game's fine. Cinematics crawl thru stutters.

do they still have hardcore mode?

For me it's taking forever just to download the game from Origin. says 10 hours +. :furious
-
Yes hardcore still in.

Probably because their servers are flooded with traffic. I downloaded my digital pre order 3 days before release, took about 1 hour at 1.1MB/s.
I'm having loads of fun. People say the campaign was generic and dull, I think it's amazing, no where near CoD4 campaign, but enough to make me go wow. The graphics are amazing!

The campaign resembles Black Ops too much in the story line so far, but yes the graphics are amazing.

PC > Consoles.
Not sure if I'm wrong here or not, but isn't Xbox's servers Microsoft's problem, not DICE or EA?
I don't wanna sound like a Battlefield fanboy, but I've been seeing too many folks complaining about things that's not really DICE/EA fault.

I honestly have no idea, but I agree that PC is generally better than consoles, my PC just cant run many of the new games. And plus I keep up with friends from high school on XBOX live.

They are EA servers for xbox

You would have thought that with EA forcing origin on everyone they would have foreseen that this would be a problem but surprise surprise they didn't.

Turned Enhanced Stereo Mode off, helped a bit I think, but the game is still running like crap on minimum settings. I'm sure it has to do with the game's sound.

I have a platoon created called goesboom that my fried and I as well as Husky are in. I would be happy to open it up as a gathering place for AH players to meet up an play in. Add me and I will invite any of you.

Do i have to reach a certain level before I can play hardcore?
-
I apologize for continuing to slightly hijack the thread, but could anyone tell me if installing BF3 in the 64 bit Program Files instead of the 86 folder on Win7 64 bit would cause problems? I thought BF3 was going to have a 64 bit version?
-

Nope, if you're on PC, there's checkbox in the server browser you can turn on or off for HC mode only. I don't know about consoles though.

It should install into whatever folder your Origin is located. No need to change any settings during install, just press install, next, accept, and you're good to go.

Did you try changing the audio settings? Going from War Tapes to Hi-Fi reduced quite a lot of stuttering for me. And the difference isn't that great, some even prefer the non-echoing sounds on Hi-Fi. I don't mind at all.
I also heard people having luck when changing the sound quality from their playback devices settings. And make sure you have the latest drivers.

From the whispers I'm hearing from the net you can't AceHavok. You are looking at the bright future of EA games. They said it would be comparable to Steam from the complaints I have seen about the crap DL speeds I would say it isn't.

NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GTX+, never failed me with Crysis, and the graphics in BF3 don't even look like a challenge (minimum settings). The game craps out when there's a lot of sound mostly, turning my view makes it worse. At one point there was so much sound going on that apparently the sound system crashed for a moment and everything went silent, and the game seemed to start running better, I think.
I've tried Hi-Fi, Headphones and Home Cinema audio settings, they all do the same thing.
I just updated everything after the game released.
I'll keep trying stuff, maybe I'm using too much RAM already, maybe BF3 hates me, maybe I need my money back. Who knows, I just don't need so much hassle at the moment.
Edit: Now I think it's a CPU problem. When I stand still everything is fine, GPU is used at about 80%, sounds don't stutter when I empty a clip. But when I turn round everything screws up, my GPU drops to 16% utilization and the temperature drops like a rock. Maybe it's the GPU screwing up when I turn and the CPU has to take over. I'm just rambling now, I don't know enough about this garbage to figure it out.
-
More RAM, more cores. That's if all your drivers and hardware really are not the culprits. The game exploits up to 16 cores.

just wait for a few patches to come out, im sure your not the only one with these problems. :aok

Aye, thanks guys. :salute

My game said it has activation issues, so I called tech support. Then a few minutes later I got a notice on Origin that they're working on the issue I'm having. :cry

From Battlefield's facebook page:
We take cheating and exploiting very seriously in Battlefield 3 and want to make it clear that it will not be tolerated. This week, we’ve banned hundreds of offending accounts and have stats-wiped additional accounts for exploiting (such as boosting). We’ll continue to be monitoring and taking action against the minority that doesn’t respect the integrity of the game.
Its great to know that DICE is monitoring their games and making sure it stays clean. More than IW/Treyarch can say about COD.
-
I have yet to see anything that is clearly cheating going on, all in all I think its a damn good game.

I have seen a lot mostly people with aim-bots or once someone hacked the server and had everyone teleport to a single spot where he through c4 and blew you up as you arrived there lol. Supposedly they fixed that so it can't happen anymore, was actually quite funny.
-
I'm finally starting to get past the learning curve. :aok
Turns out, you have to stick with your squad almost all the time, or at least with some teammates. You can't go lone wolf like in BC2, aiming is easier now due to practice, and I can finally keep a +1KD ratio, if not, I'm in the top 5 scorers.
Took me a while, but I got it. :t
