Its as I knew it would be; design the maps for 24 player console, then just let the PC gamers suffer with it. PC lead platform? Pull the other one.

I'd actually love to see that map with the two construction ends and the tunnel in the middle have a small sided infantry only version on just one end.

I've said that before, the realism is hurting the game play. I've turned the effect slider all the way down and it was feeling better last night.

I think putting prone in this game was a big mistake.

I've said that multiple times as well. Prone really sucks, and I hope hardcore will get the ability to turn it off.

This cannot be, he's part of the PC gaming master race that doesn't do stuff like that.



Also all the issues with the game make me giggle inside, a lot. PC gaming at its finest.

yea but look at the console, with fps drops to 15 fps or so, and ontop of it it's sub 720p and runs on the lowest graphics quality preset. consoles simply cannot handle this game. unless they watered down the graphics down even more, but even then the console CPU's are just to weak for this game. this really is a PC game 1st and console 2nd.

[dawdler]

Soooo...

BF2: Right, prone has been in the series all along, who cares
BC2: OMGWTF NO PRONE!!! THIS IS NO BATTLEFIELD GAME WITHOUT PRONE!!!!
BF3: OMGWTF PRONE RUIN THIS NOOB GAME!!!!!

Cannot agree with that. While I have not finished the campaign I can tell you that it's not worthless. At least it's as good as any MW game or BC2.

Prone + bipod + LMG = LOL DEAD SNIPURZ.

I love killing snipers long distance with an LMG because of the stupid lens glare off scopes.

You look into the hillside and you can easily spot 3 snipers from a far far distance.

that is true, but after BC2 I really believe the lack of prone kept the pace of the game going.

off topic, but just popped into my head.. I remember a quake 1 anti-camp mod that after so long would call out the camper and draw a line to them




So we did all this platoon and friending, is there some of you that want to make a squad + vent and run around together?

I was under the impression that you can group/platoon chat while playing?

[Saggypoo]

It can't all be bad. Some corners of the internet have been calling BF3 multiplayer a 'Call of Duty clone'.

I haven't messed with it that much. I know the import friends from origin barely works, and when it does it makes you confirm all over again.

[JesterOnYer6]

I am out of town working going to pick up the LE edition today and play it on Saturday when I get home, I can't wait!

What if I got a Core 2 Quad? It will have a lower CPU speed but do you think ill see over 30 fps?

This is not the way it´s meant to be played, stuttering from hell for every/most 8/9/gtx2XX users, I can´t believe they dumped dx9 to give us this poorly executed dx10:

I concur with a GTX285'er - massive FPS issues even on low settings (285.62) - apparently OLDER drivers might actually fix some of the issues but then would break other games.

Hurp derp. PC gaming at its finest.

Why you so bitter Trolly McTrollenstein? Gtfo with your bitching and moaning.

45-50fps look like 15fps 80% of the time I wonder if Bobodka and Ego will defend Dice programmers this time.

Ps.- Older drivers break shadows and crash very often for me, and there is still some stuttering at times.

Wat ?

First of all, what do I care how it runs for you ? Second of all, what does stuttering and frame skipping have to do with me ?
All I said it's the best looking game I have ever seen, that I had no idea my PC can do this, and now I come and also say that on my machine it runs beautifully from start to end.
Sucks you can't play it properly, but again, how is that related to me

[Saggypoo]

Honest question, is it the game or do the drivers need updated.

I've only had one crash and no other problems, so I don't know who to be 'son I am disappoint' at.

Aren´t you one of those guys that like to defend lazy devs?, If not, well my mistake.

Aaah, I get it, I thought it was something I said in this thread.

Yep, that's me, defending lazy devs
Go work in their place and see if you can do better.

[t0adp1p3]

Just going to say this, it runs fine for me on my sorry ass old system, so I don't think it can be the games fault. Got to be the drivers or something.

This game is great, I like that a lot of the features require(thinking about the scout and engineers unlocks which require it) teamwork, it seems everyone but assault needs teamwork, but assault can go off all rambo, they should do something about that, maybe you can't go prone as assault or you can't be the vehicle driver or something that actually forces them to play as a team. I am calling it out right now, assault is the new wookie recon

Umm, you have a good machine, unless you lied in the system specs
Yeah, you can't create black holes with it, unlike some dudes on this forum, but still, it's a good PC, imo.

I do not like assault having the med pack. I want my ammo box back

[Ristogod]

Battlefield 3 on PC doesn't exactly work right now—try later

[Chubz]

Even with the complaints I have about the game (I still think it's fun), it runs almost flawlessly on my PC with everything on High settings and 4x AA/8x AF. Even on the largest maps with 64 players, my frame rate drops to 35-40 at the lowest. On other maps, I feel like I'm getting 50+ on average. There is no stuttering, skipping, or anything of that sort. It performs great. Below are a few gameplay videos I recorded and you can see how well the game performed for me even with Fraps taxing my CPU and hard drive:

[Mangler]

I don't know if it's because the game has not been released in europe yet(officially), but I'm having zero issues with it.

A job where I could get away with bad to mediocre results and be given months to fix/patch my mess... doesn´t sound bad.

Same here. My oc'd 570 is running this great.
