Battlefield 3

I'm installing now, Origin tag is IAmSupernova58

Also



Enjoy

dunno if i should PC or 360 this :(

If your PC can handle it, then PC ftw. Game looks amazing.

PC is being buggy as hell.. Hope they fix this soon.

I haven't had any issues yet. been playing for a few hours. ... should sleep now so I can get up early and play more.

The bugginess is mostly just trying to get into a game. Once I finally get in one, I'm fine.

Also liking the fact that I can use my Dualshock 3 controller for the planes since my joystick is shot to ***and it'll be months before I can get one.

Just bought this and installing it right now, PM me if you want to play with me! Ill post my tag after I get everything set up! :D

Origin Name: R3nO11

on ps3 here, would be down join up with guys on here, tag is "Saphrim"

lol my poor wife will be lucky to talk to me at all in the next few weeks

Played a bit of campaign on 360 last night then a bit of Caspian. It's scaled down a fair bit form the PC version :/ also I tried to fly the Venom to test 360 heli controls....I tail spinned in slow motion for about 3 minutes before we went down black hawk down style xD.

yeah, I only had enough spunk to play 2 online matches before succombing to sleep. I got in 2 different heli's and immediately
crashed & burned. I was lmao

The heli's controls are quite a bit more sensitive than they were in BF2, it's taken me a while to just get the hang of flying it and even now I still crash in ridiculous ways. Like I try to turn around and end up doing a back flip into the ground.

Have you flown any helicopters backwards yet?

Just finished installing, is the game really run from a web browser to join games?

I'm sitting here on campus barely awake.... It was oh so worth it and yeah I dedicated an entire round to trying to figure out the gd helicopter controls. I hope nobody was watching lol.... Didn't end well.

Dude I knifed a developer TWICE last night. When I stole his tags he had a dice developer tag and the tooltip said he cobtribured to making the game...

Knifing is pretty chellenging and I love it. Can't just brush someone's foot lol.

I'm still playing through the campaign to get used to FPS again. Is there voice-com in the online matches?

That's the only way I figured out how to pilot the apache/blackhawk in BC2 lol. If you're playing on console - assuming they haven't changed anything control wise - I used Legacy southpaw and lefty for my heli control scheme. Couldn't use the default controls for the life of me.

I shall try this when I get home tonight. Those default controls are insane... I thought I figured it out... Moved forward and shot at a guy on the ground... Went to turn and did a crazy tailspin into the ground...

I laughed a lot at myself....

While I was practicing using rockets on ground targets (was a nearly dead server, had the chopper all to myself, no gunner to get killed so I figured what the hell might as well get used to it) I started lining up my attack run, dipped the nose down I managed to fire one rocket at an Abrams before he blasted the cockpit. :< The helicopter didn't even blow up but I died.

Can't beat a head shot with a tank shell lol

I had a fully loaded heli....we started going in circles...they stayed in like troopers...the second we started going down in a spiral apparently 2 of them at least saw black hawk down and bailed xD.

.... it's already been 7 hours since I joined this server? .... hmm.

It seems the RPG spam has begun.

RPG spam is annoying.

Regular rifles snipe better then the first 2 sniper rifles.

My hand is killing me from holding down crouch and sprint.



Time for dinner then another 4 hour session.

Hey Friends,

I ran a "can you play it" and I meet all the minimum specs with relative ease. However, I came short of the recommended specs in 2 area's and I would like the knowledge of you fine folks as to whether or not it's still worth it to get on PC or should I just get the PS3 version. (I play FFXIV on the PC with no problem)

Here are my specs:



AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 630 Processor

3GB Ram (Recommended 4, minimum 2)

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit

Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Video Card Features:
Video RAM = 2.2 GB
Pixel Shader version = 5.0
Vertex Shader version = 5.0

(Recommended Radeon 6950, Minimum 3,4,5 or 6 series with
Video RAM = 512 MB
Pixel Shader version = 4.0 (ATI 4.1)
Vertex Shader version = 4.0 (ATI 4.1)

Sound Card: ATI High Definition Audio Device

Free Space: 407.6 GB (lol, damn)

Again, Just seeing if one of you guys playing already has a similar setup and how is it running for you. So, thank you again for your time everyone, I hope to see a few of you on the battlefield sometime soon!!

Tony

Heads up servers are down lol

I play on an HD4870 1GB, which is underclocked and on it's last limb. I don't really have any problems playing. I turned some of the settings down to medium to try and lower the stress on my card because a new one is still like 5+ months away (Tax refund). I surpass all the other recommended specs though.

I'd say you should be able to play.

i added you and for anyone else down to play im JarNoBaka on origin

and unlike the rest of you i find the air stuff in this game easy to control more or less all im doing in games is jets helis and tanks now :X

Ya, I thought this was kinda of... unique. Game is pretty awesome. Operacion Metro is so far my favorite. A lot of camping but so many tight corners to zerg your enemy. I kept crashing though, at least once every 2 rounds. I will need to look into the error details, but at one point, I did get a Direcx error saying I had insufficient Gfx memory. =/

All in all, the game is fantastically realistic. Only drop back is that I already had an origin account (apparently) so I had to stick with a handle name that I didn't want~!

Go out and shoot a real AR15 w/o any ear protection or a AK and tell me how "Realistic" your game is. Its a fun game dont get me wrong, but no game will ever simulate how it is to fire a real firearm. The noise, recoil, actual travel pattern of the round, and how much damage a round actually does when it hits a target can't, and will never be emulated by a game. Its like pr0n vs. real sex
