***OFFICIAL*** FBG All things BATTLEFIELD Thread (4 Viewers)

Nice first comm man. If you ever think you sound awkward in a video, you can always look at my first one to feel better about yourself. Just terrible. I keep meaning to upload more BF videos but I always am just overwhelmed at how hard you have to edit them to make them interesting. Probably about 25-30% of game time is spent running around through completely desolate areas and any worthwhile game runs for at least 15 minutes, making traditional commentary a very daunting task indeed.

I don't understand why you hipfired the guy at 2:00.

I've mentioned this before, but 4x scope makes a lot of sense playing on consoles vs. PC because it adds some much-needed finesse when trying to take down targets at range. To each his own I guess, but aiming a red dot at distance is a real B.

You not throwing out an ammo box at 8:00 makes tears well up in my eyes.

Really nice, casual talking there and good job editing as well. Hope you keep up with it.

 
Don't know why I hip fired there either. I think I thought the guy was going to run, so i brought down my scope to chase. When he stopped, so i just started spraying again.Don't remember hearing the guy asking for ammo. Plus, I don't even know which guy it was. I guess it was the guy on top of the building next to me. Either way, I usually do drop ammo. Just didn't this time.

I actually ended up taking 2 or 3 tries to get the start of the commentary the way I wanted it (combination of playing with the video settings and getting stumped on what to say). After that, I just kinda said #### it and finished it off (did the commentary in 3 separate parts).

Easy to edit when you only re-spawn 2 times in a round. Some of the rounds where i die more are a total PITA.

emails are supposed to out tonight and tomorrow morning. Beta officially opens at 3 PM EST. (according to enterbf3)

Also, both NVIDIA and ATI released new graphics drivers with tweaks specifically for the beta. Unfortunately, the ATI installer is bugged at the moment, so it doesn't work.

Also, gameplay trailer

Love that song, but it doesn't fit at all. LOVE the potshot at COD at the end....

Played some BC2 a few hours ago on the IMA clan server. Nothing more frustrating than playing by your self against an entire squad that was obviously on TS or Vent. Every time I shot at one, 3 other guys would immediately converge on me. Just brutal. As individuals they weren't that great, but a talking squad is tough to stop.

 
Forum nerds going into full meltdown mode because the beta keys are rolling out slowly. Some demanding refunds for their moh purchases. Good times

 
Can someone please do me a solid and post the Vent info in here? Lost it while transitioning over to the new computer

I didn't use my gmail account. According to the @Battlefield Twitter account, all NA beta codes have been sent out. That's BS!If I don't play the same map I played during the alpha two days early, that's fine. But I feel a bit cheated.

I'm in the queue for EA/Origin support about the matter, but I'm starting to wonder if I had to pre-order by Sept. 25th Sweden time. I pre-ordered Sept. 25th 7:00 pm ET, which made it the 26th in Sweden, where EA Dice is located.

Got mine early this morning. Now, whether I have time to play in a beta is an entirely different subject. If it was like LOTRO where you kept your levels/rank, sure. Not so much on the wipe clean.

 
I just waited in support queue for 2 hours, just to finally get to an agent and get dropped right after I asked the question. I tweeted my complaint and I'm washing my hands of it until Thursday. It's not worth this wasted time and headache just to play it 2 days early. I wouldn't have time to play it now anyway. I have to get ready for work.

Keep telling yourself that. :20%downloaded: ;)
 
Just played 5 rounds. First impressions.....

1) Bullet damage is way too high. It was a little too high in the alpha (I'd say like 10-15%) and they made it ever worse. Gotta take it down a notch. (and this is from someone who was looking forward to higher damage)

2) The map stinks, but they made it better since alpha. They changed the position of one of the MCOM's on the first stage, so at least you have a chance now. But in the end, the map still stinks. There's way way way too much cover for the defenders on the first 2 stages. From what I can see, there's very little chance for an attacker to make an intelligent controlled advanced. Its basically a case of running around the next rock/tree/train car, ect and just praying nobody's looking there.

3) Graphics look very nice. It says I'm playing on a mix of med/high at 1900X1020 and it looks and runs really well. FRAPS was giving me an error, so i didn't get frame rates.

4) some of the bugs from the alpha are fixed.

Its Bf3, so I'm gonna play it. But this really is a terrible map and not at all indicative of what BF has been about. Hell, i just played on a server where the APC wasn't even on the map (hope it was just a server setting and not a change to the map). They're well past "testing if the technology works" at this stage, so this map choice seems to be solely about keeping things simple for the horde of COD players that are probably sticking their toe in the pool. The hardcore BF players have already pre-ordered anyway, so there's no point in dropping Caspian Border or some other actual battlefield map on us and scaring off the potential new customers by letting them killed by tanks and choppers.

 
Looks like we're going to get Caspian border at some point during the demo. its already running on password protected servers and Dice's community manager said (on the UK forums) "If things go the way they are intended today, I´ve got a nice surprise for my PC forum family tomorrow."

I can't imagine it being worse this way than the Engineer kits when I would use Explosive MKII. Every Engy SMG instantly became a watergun without Magnum ammo.

I've still not seen a second of multiplayer gameplay, although I'm not expecting much improvement from the console versions. That said, I'm still highly debating on whether or not I should go ahead and check out some gameplay or wait until I have access to the beta on Thursday.

Yeah, when I heard that I knew instantly that they were trying to draw in the COD players. Still, I'm superexcited to check this out. Actually, I'm not excited at all right now, because there's nothing for me to be invested in, but I know I'm going to blow a wad when I first lay eyes on it.
 
I actually just played a game that got to the last stage. (unfortunately, i was on the losing side :bag: )

Took a video and I'll upload it shortly (mostly because its very rare to see the last stage)

I was having an ok round individually until the last stage. pretty sure i went like 1-8 while they finished us off.

And yes, they did remove the APC from the first stage. Not a huge deal, because its at least winnable now due to the squad spawning being fixed and them moving one of the CP's.

Here's the thing. I'm not sure if the map is awful. It has some good areas. Prone isn't awful. Rush isn't awful. But when you put all 3 together, its a total camp fest.

But like I said, I'm still gonna play the heck out of it (to try the weapons out, if nothing else) and it looks like we're getting Caspian Border soon, so its all good.

Getting around 35-45 FPS with my Radeon 5850. The settings say they are mostly on high, but it may not be. We'll see.

 
Interesting they require certain drivers to run. A good reminder to update my video drivers I suppose.

 
The new ati drivers are very buggy.

Everything was good for most of the night until I played with corp and maelstrom.

My pc stopped recognizing my video card on my desktop performance widget and my fps basically got cut in half. wasn't the result of vent. Tested this morning (after a driver reinstall) and out was fine again. Very odd

 
played it for 4 hours last night, hate the campiness of that map. Can't tell how many times I got killed literally running by a bush where some doosh was camped in Prone. The knife action kinda sucks, I got a few kife kills when dudes were running by me hit the kife button, it's like you reach out with one hand and grab em they are running and pull them back to you and stab em. Cool when you do it, but I'd be pissed if I get grabbed out of mid sprint and knifed. Love the Laser sights, hate the flashlight attachment. the efeects when someone points it at you is waaaay overstated. They gameplaey felt a lot like MOH to me. Had a lot of fun, probably averaged 4-5 more kills per round that I do in Rush in BFBC2.

 
At the beginning it was really ahrd to tell smurfs from bad guys, I would have lost a lot of points in Hardcore for shootin smurfs

 
Thus far, I am NOT a fan of the browser-based interface. Just give me my freaking server browser in game, EA. I tire of these gimmicks you keep pulling. :rant:

Apparently there is a damage bug in the beta. it makes certain shots cause way more damage than intended.

Makes sense. I think I got 1 shotted last night more times than I did in 18 months on bc2.

Including once by me :bag:TLEF had the honor of being my first revive though. I killed the guy who killed him first. Maelstrom was the first FBG to TK me (although I own the first FBG on FBG crime with the aforementioned shot).
