Since 6773 DaysOooh, Profound, isn't it?
Since 7015 DaysFuck me this is awesome...
Got everything running smoothly on high (textures on Ultra) and AA on the highest setting. Game looks and runs great!
Played around with the attack helo's and the jets... Seems that the first unlock (counter measures) seems like a nessesity to even stay alive, since there's a lot of AA on every map. Although when you got someone joining u as a gunner (if they are good) can take care of most of the guys running around with a stinger/igla).
I also get the impression there's a huge gap between the starting weapons and the unlockables. PLayed against some higher level players and they would sometimes kill me in situations where I was sure I started firing earlier and in burst, but they get one shot off and kill me. (Might be just me needing to warm up though).
Can't wait to play some more tonight!

Since 7652 DaysHaving a GTX570 I run everything on ultra except textures which are set on high and MSAA set to 0.. Ultra textures maxes out the memorusage of my videocard (1.25GB on the GTX570) where high textures maxes out at arround 1GB of videomemory.. It runs fine with everyting on ultra (except MSAA which is turned off) as far as I can tell, but I want to make sure I do not get any stutters or streaming and you do not see any difference between high and ultra textures anyway.. Read the Tweakguide, very handy info..
Since 7652 DaysAlthough, this tells a different story again about the GPU memory usage.. That might explain why I didn't notice any performance difference between high and Ultra textures even if the videomemory maxed out on Ultra.. I guess it's back to Ultra (without MSAA) again.. :P
It's clear though BF3 is all about GPU power, a superfast CPU and a lot of systemmemory are not really important..

Since 6338 DaysBF3's biggest map is smaller than BF2s smallest map. There are not nearly as many vehicles, weapon diversity, or intuitive design for that matter.
And I'm afraid that once the graphics go stale (which I've already gotten used to), this game will literally have nothing going for it longevity wise that its predecessors did.
... Then there's the bugs.
In my opinion it's all very lack luster, and sad when it comes down to it. I know why they didn't release the Karkand pack at the same time now.
A lot of creative stuff is missing from BF3 IMO, it would be great if this game had a map like Market Garden (BF1942) where one team spawns in the city and the other team spawns on the outskirts and tries to enter the city. Just the other day I was on Saline Crossing BF3 and saw an APC plunge from the bridge into the river (that was a lol moment) and sadly those are missing form BF3 cause the maps lack creativity.
Since 6944 DaysI think I said this earlier, but this game feels a little too influenced by MW now. It mixes elements of both games and makes something entirely new.
What's given is a great game (I enjoy the hell out of it), but those of us who prefer a Battlefield game over a MW game will miss those little things that made Battlefield what it really is.
Even in Bad Company 2, their last recent title. Sometimes you'd end up just fucking around with other players blowing things up in cool ways, messing around with destruction, etc.
Now it's just more of a run and gun game. It's not as clear cut as MW, but it's headed in that direction seemingly. Meat grinding hallways, choke points, incredibly directed movement that just isn't how it all started.
How much does destruction even play into this game anymore since BC2? I expected them to build on that not take away. I realize Battlefield and Bad Company are considered separate entities, but I had hoped they'd take a lot from destructible environments in BC2.
It's weird but BF3's maps just feel small. I think even BC2's maps felt bigger than this.
Something I'll chime in on from 1942 too. I remember those spawn points. I remember laying mines all over the enemy carrier so any plane taking off just never made it into the air. Those moments are classic as you mention.
I think DICE/EA got too caught up in changing things up to fit a MW formula, to try and beat them at their own game. To realize that they should just do it with their own game would have been great for us who have enjoyed the series for a long time.

Since 7652 DaysI do enjoy the game despite all this though.. Strike at Karkand addon will only make it better I bet..
Since 7015 DaysAs for the maps, I think it's because Caspian Border is the only map that has multiple objectives in a large area. Also the maps is not designed as a rectangle (like most of the other are...

A detailed look at Squad refinements
Today's PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.
First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.
For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position –- the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.
After the patch is applied to consoles (in the near future) you will be able to join Squads by cycling through the list and selecting which Squad you wish to join.
