so in other words, this game is barely playable on your 4-year-old laptop

It doesn't even have a third of the wow-factor that BF1942 or 2 did when they were released.

Sounds like you're playing on an console or a crappy PC. Have you played on a Caspian Border server yet? Everyone does realize this is a beta not a demo right?

As we are again specifically testing 64-player server configurations, this test will be for PC only. The Caspian Border servers will be available for all PC players to join. Caspian Border will be available starting Friday, October 7, in the afternoon (CET)," according to the blog post.

Ugh, I'm done with the beta unless they start hosting password-free Caspian Border servers for the beta. DICE you fucking tease. This Metro rush bullshit doesn't even feel like the same game.

Good luck getting in.

edit: Took me 2 minutes of attempting to join to get into the server. Played for 15 minutes before the server was taken down. Fucking amazing.

Did someone say PC with max settings?

Battlefield 3 Beta: Test scene

Our test is simple: We're starting at the city, running down the bank near the water for 20 seconds (logged by Fraps). This scene on the Metro map sports a wide view distance, particle effects and, as a result of the sprint, streaming. Indoors the frame rates are about 30 to 50 percent higher. Since we're using the latest drivers from AMD and Nvidia, the Catalyst 11.10 Preview and Geforce 285.38, these results are state-of-the-art.

Battlefield 3 Beta: GPU benchmarks

GPU power is everything: Although Battlefield 3 shines with excellent multicore scaling (inherited by Bad Company 2), the firefights on typical systems and resolutions are completely GPU-bound. You'll need a high-end graphics card for fluent gameplay in Full-HD with 4x MSAA, post effects and 16:1 AF.

If Rush were the only gametype for BF3 I wouldn't even consider purchasing. It's a linear choke point meat grind. Conquest is what Battlefield is all about. As long as the scale of the conquest maps is on par with BF2 I'll be happy. I can't wait to play Gulf of Oman on this engine.

I played for about an hour last night. They decreased the weapon damage significantly from the alpha build, though the final version will have "hardcore" servers so that's not a big deal. Lots of bugs, though unlike most people I talked to I didn't have any trouble connecting to servers. One gripe I have is that when a teammate's player model collides with yours, you get "pushed". Anyone else notice this? Oh, and rush is still a shitty gametype. Bring on conquest.
