There are things you can change in BF folders/scripts that lets you change things like hold crouch, field of view, and vehicle camera turn speed.

Shits fantastic. but you can tell TDM kiddies don't know what the fucks going on when objectives start alerting they don't even try to pay attention. I took First areas A & B objective in 3 minutes by myself. few glitches i have came across was the falling through the ground when crawling but isn't game corrupting. your just kinda looking up through the map.

taking a break to get some food in me then ima jump back in it!

Yeah I'm not that dumb, I fixed it, turns out it was Teamviewer overlay not playing nice with BF3.

End of round wasn't that long, not any longer than BC2 really, but I'm running on an SSD.

Loading is extremely quick, but there is like a 30 seconds wait before every round both at end and start.

Anyway since I fixed my full screen issue, I've made a bit more screenshots.

Oh flowers...

Not a real metro station, but it looks exactly the same irl, found a lot of familiar elements reproduced perfectly like the trains, the station, those panels etc.

speaking of lense flare. Fucking laser beams man... if your close to somebody and they shine a laser at you. oh god ~.~

I'm not really sure why I have to manually adjust my screen. When I go full screen, my map and ammo get cut off. I had to adjust screen size and they are in it now, but I really don't know why I had to do that.

**Kazen** · 2011-09-27 16:46

Did anyone else here not get their emailed beta code? I'm not sure why but my box is empty and this fucking sucks.

Ok, now that I messed with it, it's a nice feature. The adjust screen size is for the overlay ONLY (minimap, ammo, etc). And you can move it around somewhat on your screen, pushing it to the outermost edge or farther in your view. Got it in a nice spot now and I'm happy.

I don't know if I like the sniper scope lensflare crap, but I will admit on some BC2 maps I wish something similar existed. It is a little too much and over the top, but its almost necessary especially with these environments.

Can I get in on this if I haven't done anything before? No origins, no pre-order, nothing.

**Boyiee** · 2011-09-27 18:42

You can thursday

**Kazen** · 2011-09-27 18:48

Well this is strange, I never got my code from email but I can see the beta on the PSN store now so it's all good I guess. Dling now.

**Boyiee** · 2011-09-27 19:28

3 servers in a row crashed on me near the end of the round, no stats were updated. Was 22/10 in one, 15/5 in another. Might be done for the night.

Lots of instability, not enough servers... should be interesting come thursday when the beta opens up.

I should take a picture of 2560x1600 on ultra settings for you guys. Would blow your minds and your tables.

**Insanecyclone** · 2011-09-27 20:42

Yeah I hope that DCing in retail wont make you lose your shit you gained in a match. Would drive me crazy.

**Gekii** · 2011-09-27 20:44

thx for reporting 470gtx results, thats the same vid card i have too & im not looking to grab another for sli so guess im stuck with 720p (which is more than fine enough for me haha)

& yeah boyiee post pics!

**Boyiee** · 2011-09-27 20:46

uploading through paint woooo

**Celeras** · 2011-09-27 21:41

Moderately OC'd 570(bf3 drivers) & X6 @ 4.0ghz: around 45-50 average FPS outside, 60+ inside. Ultra everything, 4x AA(max atm) 16x AF, HBAO/SSAO off (10-20fps hit for SSAO, more for HBAO). Probably gonna have to figure out something to turn down from Ultra to High, mins in the 30s bug me.

Oh, and I hated Battlelog initially because it was laggy/buggy as shit with the initial push. Seems to have settled down now though, and it's not so bad.

My friend just got into a caspian server, I'm hoping to get the password from him tonight or tomorrow. Dying for it.

**Insanecyclone** · 2011-09-28 00:47

Caspian should be open tomorrow/today.
