Please donate! We are losing our Tech moons to Goons and can't RMT enough to pay for our BF3 server and all the new upgrades we'll need to play at max graphics settings.

Clan Play!

My fav was always riding shotgun in the f15 nuking tanks from orbit with the laserguided missile and spotting the shit out of enemy planes. So much fun had in that plane.

If they don't fuck the flying mechanics all up, you will come to know the terror that is DruzidelCastro on the PL server.

**Traakile** · 2011-09-19

I usually just ended suicide bombing shit in a jet because I couldn't hit the shit with the actual bombs. That and C4 jeeps kept me entertained.

C4 on the nose of a jet, and then bail and det while parachuting. it's like spear fishing but more interesting.

We all know whats really going to happen. People who can't fly will steal all the aircraft, and lose them to a single AA gun that they cant seem to hit.

Much rage and banning will ensue.

It is if you can place bombs better than the AI.

And with my Flight Stick set up along with my Mouse, I sure can.

**Unifix** · 2011-09-29

Preload BF3 http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield3..._download_and/
Or you can wait for EA to fix their about to be nuked servers.

**Brooks Puuntai** · 2011-09-29

Ok good so I'm not the only one then. Though I already have it Dling on Xbox

**Grath** · 2011-09-29

So you remember all the shit about the removal of dolphin diving?

Yea, totally still able to do that.

any time you add prone... fuckers will dolphin.

**Grath** · 2011-09-29

Current complaints:

Sound is fucked, it loops and double plays sometimes.

Natural health regen is ridiculous, theres currently almost no need for health packs from medics

Corner clipping with guns is sick, they can shoot straight through corners at times

Currently keybinding seems broken, as in you can't

Dolphin diving was gay then, its gay now.

Grenades stick to small shrubs when you throw them.

All snipers seem to have a flashlight stuck to the scope of the gun, which is NOT to be confused with the regular flashlight, which is fucking blinding.

if you want to never have to ask the p/w for caspian; http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960869-battlefield-3/60472817

only works with chrome.

**Galtiner** · 2011-09-29

The beta runs surprisingly well on my PC. I only have an AMD 6670 but it runs everything fine on medium settings, I thought I was going to have to play with everything on low.

The sniper flashlight is only visable when the sniper is looking in your direction, i.e is about to kill you. I think it's an awesome feature, it makes snipercamping much more difficult. Atm the bolt action snipers are pretty amazing, probably a bit overpowered even, so the scope glare is a great counter to snipers hiding in bushes etc.

I also like it when people see the light coming of my scope and go "ohfuck" right before they die.

**Traakile** · 2011-09-30

Can you stick C4 on a Jeep/plane/chopper and how do I get my copy of BF3?

Its just open beta right now. As far as your question I honestly don't know since I haven't actually seen any vehicles(there is only 1 map/game mode available). However I did find out that my gfx card is horribly outdated and can't run it, so I've had to play it on console

I'm actually pretty impressed with how well EA's servers have held up...

**Galtiner** · 2011-10-01

Is there any way to swap to burst and single fire like you could in BF2?

**Grath** · 2011-10-01

yes, V is fire select, some weapons have full auto, semi auto, and some have double tap, so it depends on the gun.

**spam6** · 2011-10-01

at least you are no longer blinded when you are low health and have to find a medic to be able to play again

**Traakile** · 2011-10-01

I literally spent the whole Friday evening sitting at my computer and playing BF3, like six hours straight. So far it's been fun but it's really buggy at times. Eagerly waiting for the vehicle maps.
Also the sounds are awesome as hell.

**Galtiner** · 2011-10-02

Has anyone played on the 64 and 128 player servers yet? My client crashes when I try to join them.

**Traakile** · 2011-10-02

I've only been able to play the 32 player Operation Metro servers. Here's hoping they'll release the Caspian Boarder to the general public.

**Leus** · 2011-10-02

65 players and above are hacked servers. You can get your EA account stolen and/or banned by joining.

**Traakile** · 2011-10-04

Sometimes either the servers bug hard or the client fucks up so that you end up one meter under the ground. Other fine examples of server/client bugs/desyncs is that I unloaded about 200 rounds from a M249 at around 5 meters and didn't hit a single time. He then proceeded to stab me in the face.

Thank you for playing the Open Beta and making the final game better!

We are very excited to see so many gamers join our Battlefield 3 Open Beta. Here’s an update on the Open Beta from DICE General Manager Karl Magnus Troedsson.

I want to give you an overview of how the Open Beta is helping us shape a fantastic final game, what we are implementing based on your feedback, and how the Open Beta will help us deliver a robust gaming environment from day one.

The Open Beta is a true Beta
The Battlefield 3 Open Beta is based on software that is more than one month old. We need to test the new back end dedicated server structure we’ve built. Not only have we built a new game engine, but an entirely new back end system so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of dedicated servers on all platforms.

Just like normal procedure when releasing a game, the Open Beta has had long lead times due to testing, certification, and setting up. This means that the code you are now playing is actually quite early and not representative of the final game.

We had to do this in order to have as many people testing as possible, in order to ensure a top quality experience when the game is released. However, we’re confident in the Battlefield formula and confident that our fans will support us in order to make Battlefield 3 better.

Dedicated servers require dedicated testing
The biggest reason for running the Open Beta is to stress test our servers and back end. Already, we are seeing 6 times the number of simultaneous players in the Battlefield 3 Open Beta compared to the Beta for Battlefield: Bad Company 2! The fact that Battlefield 3 is clearly our biggest game launch ever by a magnitude of 6 makes it doubly important to test everything.

We are constantly updating the News section on Battlelog with information on what we are fixing from Open Beta to final. We appreciate your time and your feedback. The data and feedback from the Open Beta will not only directly affect the final game of Battlefield 3, but its future development and support.

We’re heading out on the road this week to let journalists experience all aspects of Battlefield 3. Stay tuned for their previews, and stay tuned for the final game on October 25th. The final game will look, play and sound better than the Open Beta. You have helped making sure of that.

Karl Magnus Troedsson
General Manager, DICE

**Finiks** · 2011-10-04

So far no major problems with the game except for the painful "join as party" thingy as i never get any notifications about it... could be firewall problem tho i guess.

**Leus** · 2011-10-04

It's a battlelog problem, others having same problem. Firewall shouldn't effect battlelog.

Unless they're removing it for whatever reason the MP7 will be in the vanilla version of BF3 as a general unlock.

It's usable in the Beta as a rank 45 unlock.

my life is complete. blapping people with that on BF2 was the best times. Much like the spanish inquisition, no-one expects the MP7.

Actually, the Spanish Inquisition allways gave at least one month's notice before they came. If you are to adopt such a practice with your MP7 I fear you will find it difficult to kill anyone with it.

I see someone watched last weeks QI

**Centra** · 2011-10-06

I think Karkand and all the maps in the DLC are going to be like BC2: Vietnam, so it's essentially a separate game from BF3.

i would guess so, but apparently you can use the weapons from B2K in regular BF3

**John Caffeine** · 2011-10-07

Looks like they've made the jets move faster than 50 mph, which is great.

[spoiler=Another video, but from a shitty console version] [/spoiler]

**Galtiner** · 2011-10-07

Caspian Border is now available to play for the final weekend of the beta.

**Leus** · 2011-10-08

Here's the other new multiplayer map:

**Traakile** · 2011-10-08

So far I've crashed my jet into trees, cliffs, walls, that motherfucking big tower, tanks, jeeps, myself, other jets and managed to kill myself midair while accidentally ejecting from the jet.
So far it's been a blast, really brings back the memories from BF2.

I really also like how I can just take a tank and bomb the living hell out of a small hut filled with snipers or something and actually manage to bring the whole building down.
The destructible environment seems very fun.
