I canceled my preorder. I just won't get my moneys worth out of it.

You'll get your money's worth with DoD Source which has so little to offer, but not with Battlefield 3? Say wha!?

“destruction was downscaled and rigid in the beta. Full on for retail." Source

With all the changes and improvements they've seemed to have made between beta code and release code, why the hell did they release the beta in that form? It seems like they're almost worlds apart, at this point.

I believe it's a clonedvd version that is circulating. Granted, strange to see a pc version floating around prior to the console leak.

They released an old build to the players for testing servers, and backend testing. They weren't testing the game, they were testing their end..

Yes, but they realeased it because they were leagally obligated (MOH), I enjoyed it but it hurt them.

It seems like the tanks and helis on most servers are as bad as snipers were at launch.

I can tell you exactly how many vehicles are in each rush map that can kill you, and most have 0, 1 or 2. And often the vehicles in those maps are lightly armed and lightly armoured, like the light tank, transport chopper, boats and jeeps.

Theres also squad rush and squad deathmatch which have no vehicles.

I'm not a fan of vehicle heavy games either and I dont play Conquest because of this (plus I dont like the gametype anyway.. yawn)

Dont take this the wrong way and I know you understand the game and how to play it, but I think like KAC you just dont get the gameplay and flow of the battle, and are playing it like cod, RO2 etc..
Sneaking around corners slowly, playing cautiously so you dont die and getting a kill here and there..
Where as in that same time I would have jumped on a 4 wheeler and cruised up as far as I could in the "safe area", jump off and sprint the rest of the way occasionaly running past cover when shot at but always moving. Then killing a couple enemy and making a break for it through the gap I just created (like NFL! Knowing how to time your break through a gap in defense is key in BC2 rush imo). Now that I have broken through and am on the flank, squad starts spawning on me and the raping begins, getting heaps of kills shooting them in the side or back and maybe C4 a tank before moving in to plant the bombs. By the time the bomb is blown you and KAC are still hiding from the transport chopper half way back down the map because it killed you once lol
If my plan doesnt work and I die I dont care, I squad spawn in the action and try it again with variations in tactics until it works, unlike CoD, CSS etc where I try to stay alive as long as possible. Suicide runs taking out large numbers of enemy by surprise on the flanks and planting bombs are common in BC2. I know I'm going to die so instead of trying to avoid death, I prefer to get in there and take as many as I can with me, and it works, I got into the top 500 on the global leader board (epeen )

I had exactly the same mindset as you a few years ago concerning FPS when I was playing in leagues in CSS, DoDs & CoD, but honestly every good player I know that has matured as an fps player has evolved into a BC2 and now BF3 rush player.

@night

Thanks alot mate, Im not really into war games but this is my first fav War game, I hope 5770 can run at least till Hitman 5 and Maxpayne 3 comes out, And I swear I only bought this card for those games as well as AC Series.

@Mangler

How do you know a crack isn't out yet ? you visit the ***p***bay site daily ?

OMG Tom clancy's Hawx 2, still no crack for it, co'z it suxx so bad even skidrow, reloaded hate it

on a side note : Does "GDDR" Ram counts in such things ? co'z my system says I have 1751 MB of Total Memory while my 5770 HD is 1 GB

what he said...

There are people that sit back and get 8 or 10:1 kills:d, and don't really do a damn thing, and there are those like us that get more 50:50 k:d but are out there making things happen for the team.
As long as you are playing smart and pushing the line, death is irrelevant.

Except I do prefer conquest . It is far more dynamic. Rush gets boring, but i also don't like heavy armor maps. That 3 flag conquest in the desert street and the 2 snow maps are my favs.

I was in a rush Monday night.. 8v8. We won the defense, but then on switching sides we could barely get to a box. I looked over and my 3 other squad mates were snipers. Checked the squad screen.. 2 others were snipers... rush attack with 5 snipers... /exit

I'm one of those attack snipers. I pick and choose my spots and then I go full bore into the fray. You can thank countless hours of playing with the awp in counter-strike for that. As a sniper i'm usually on the top 5 or so on the team in points.

Then if they get too close, I knife them

[RicH(SAD)]

I'll have to see how badly they nerfed the semi-auto rifles since the beta, but if they are still viable, I can see myself playing Recon a lot in BF3. The MK11 and SVD were absolute beasts in the beta.

[night]

i like hunting down snipers with the 4x scope (I play assault almost exclusively). just don't stop and most give themselves away so easy with multiple misses I can then pick them off

[Roxen]

Ah the deal I was waiting for.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER $49.99 for boxed copy, .99c shipping for delivery on release day.

[night]

ya, amazon has gone down 2 more bucks in the last couple days. I just did the downlown preorder last night.
decided the origin wep pack wasn't worth $10 as I really don't even play those classes.

[SOCOM Ops]

Dang I would have paid cheaper if I had waited a little. Anyways im just glad I pre ordered already.

[caveman-jim]

@CatalystCreator: So just to be clear - please use AMD Catalyst 11.10 V3 Preview + 11.9 CAP3 for BF3 release week

@CatalystCreator: Single AMD GPU just needs 11.10 V3 preview, but if you're running CF, then grab 11.9 CAP 3 as well

http://support.amd.com/it/kbarticles...eDriverV3.aspx

[Jimby]

Amazon.ca still has it at $59.99

[night]

I'll do recon "sniping" when I am by myself or with a ****** squad of people I don't know. If I'm running with my usual squadmates, if I am rolling recon, its with a shotty and mag ammo. People ****ing hate that. lulz. RIGHT IN THE FACE! I would assume I'd being doing the same with BF3.

[taz291819]

Got an email from EA/Dice earlier, stating that they'll send instructions tomorrow to start the pre-load via Origin.

[VVanks]

Got the same mail. Can't wait, gonna leave my comp on all night to download that 10GB file!

[wangFu]

gamersgate shows a preload countdown but i havent gotten an email yet

[gramboh]

NVIDIA is supposedly releasing WHQL drivers on Monday for this game that improve performance and fix the damn TDR driver crash error as well. Announced by ManuelG on their official forums.

Excellent news!

[BababooeyHTJ]

Ok, so I try a rush map and I just get swarmed by two helis that I'm not even sure how to take down. I hate BC2. The vehicles are as gimmicky as COD kill streak rewards.
