Battlefield 3

Just played a few round of Caspian Border on a couple of servers, and it was awesome :D No lag either, though the people I was playing with had trouble with lag on other servers. Definitely so much better than metro. I had one guy hop out of his tank only to get hit directly by my next RPG (which also blew up the tank and the guy in it).
 
64 player testing, so no.

I was playing on a server which it said I had 50 ping. It felt more like 500, and I wasn't the only one, everyone was complaining about it in the chat.

I even recorded the gameplay, for future reference and to show others why I just didn't enjoy it.

The BF3 Beta has been awful. I'd be having more fun playing BOps on the PS3, and that wouldn't be any fun at all!
 
Yeah, they were stress testing servers and many of them couldn't handle it. So far all 4 Caspian Border servers I have played on have been lag free, and the only time I got "lag" was actually framerate issues because I decided to turn every graphical setting up as high as possible (ie, max AA and other unnecessary stuff like that). If the server is laggy find another one, there are tonnes.

What were your graphic settings at the time of the screenshots?
 
Mostly high, or medium if high wasn't available (as I mentioned in the Screenshots thread, some high res textures were not included in th beta to reduce the overall file size of it, like terrain can only be set as high as medium). I had also forgotten to turn on AA which I now have set to 4x.

I just wish I could turn the damn bloom off :/

Seems like the bomb robot is both hilarious and OP.

LOLz.

So Viking Bomb Robot has an anti-infantry plate on his front? Plus he is like Neo and can make opponents do cart wheels? And a Pyro!!!!!



The bloom effect of some weapons firing at the robot is really annoying (big white blob like staring at the sun). Is that just beta graphics, or is that intentionally representing some kind of EMP weapon against the robot?
 
Isn't that the Tactical Light attachment?
 
At 2:22 that might be the lens glare off his sniper scope (yeah it can be pretty noticeable, it also doesn't have any relation to where the sun and/or lighting is on the map afaik, since I've seen the glare when looking straight at a sniper in a dark area).

EDIT: I found this.

well when it comes out im guna have to power level my sniper because thats all i mainly used...i dont like getting close with guns lol
 
I like getting close with sniper rifles. :smug:

Anyway, what would be the most annoying beta bug any of you guys experienced? For me, aside from people glitching underground, that would be the time my soldier tripped and died (he walked over a rock and then he dies. No killcam, no killer in the info screen).
 
Good to know the ol' C4 car bomb trick is still alive and well. Incidentally, are ATVs returning?
