official Battlefield 3

So after about 4 hours of MP last night I have to say the Map balance is pretty good. Some of the maps on rush that have tanks are just wicked to actually rush! I mean we have to actually coordinate, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I've just placed my order with Amazon. Sadly I won't be able to play it for 2 weeks. :(

I bought a boxed copy of the PC version for my brother and I'm currently installing it. Initially, the installation was going at 10.0 MB/sec (from the DVD). Now, the speed has dropped to 2.0 MB/sec and is continuing to drop. Has anyone come across this? It shouldn't be this slow because it's installing from the DVD. :/

EDIT: Never mind. It only slowed down with the first disc.

Very quickly, those of you who've applied to join the Neowin platoon, I will accept you all (<3) when I get home from work tonight.

[neoadorable]

there's a neowin platoon? who's the sgt, Keroro? :laugh:

anyway, will start playing it tomorrow on 360, too bad there's no PC version on Steam, that was my initial plan, but maybe later!

Just applied while I am at work. Hoping to get some time in tonight with it, but looks like I will definitely have to work late and then tomorrow and Thursday have an on site meeting I need to be at, so just will not have that much time to play it it looks like until the weekend.

Also quick question for those eligible to answer it, is anyone running the game on a 5870? If so how is the performance?

My brother in law is making the jump back to PC gaming just for BF3, and he currently owns a 5870. He was asking me how it should run, and I told him from what I have heard so far it should be just fine, but would love to hear some actual feedback from people actually using a 5870. TIA, DL

[Chsoriano]

Anyone have issues with raw mouse input? When enabled, it causes extremely laggy mouse input (unplayable)... but when I disable it, everything works great.

I don't think it matters, but running 1920x1200 with ultra settings, using a Mamba.

Btw.. my BETA platoon Battlefield Veterans is there as well. The emblem needs to be recreated which sucks but it's there..

I was running beta on 5850 and it ran well, mine melted so i cant test how well it runs in retail but 5870 should be more than capable of mid to high detail in 1920x1200

[Boz]

This newer versions seem to be running worse than BETA (framerate wise) if that's even possible and i have noticed that graphics don't look as great as they did in beta. Did anyone else notice that..

It's like they scaled down environment visuals (trees, leaves all look so rough), water too. Beta looked much better.

And I'm playing GTX580 with ULTRA settings.

[SimplySchizo]

Graphics look considerately improved from beta to me.

That and destruction. Way more destruction in the released project.

You can pretty much level every building in Caspian Border now.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

I HATE Caspian Border.

Because I don't know how to fly jets and choppers.

Tanks/APC are amazing, with how almost every server I go on there's no engineers so it's free roam in the tank and have fun.

Sorry man, im using raw mouse input and im not having any issues, running same resolution and settings, no issues :-(

[Crisp]

For the lulz...

[ensiform]

My GTX 260 is running better in the normal than beta. Only trouble for me is the lines that show up sometimes still. (Only game so not card melted) Perhaps today's drivers will fix.

[Lexcyn]

Yeah the final build really runs 1000% better than whatever the crap they used for the "beta." I'm getting a constant 60FPS with VSYNC on my GeForce 570, with settings on high/ultra.

Also, this is most likely the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game in a while.

[ViperAFK]

What the hell did they do to the mouse movement in the final? It feels all floaty and weird.

You can make me a temp leader and ill accept them ^_^, im at work browsing battlelog all day lol.

Is there a limit to how many times you can change it?

[ViperAFK]

Seriously, what the hell? I can't even stand to play the final, the mouse feels horrific, jittery as hell and some kind if crazy mouse acceleration going on. Beta was fine :/

Wish I had seen that before I created a new account and purchased BF3 with it.

I wonder if they'll transfer the game to my old acount...
