In fairness, I thought restarting origin and refreshing the game list should have sorted it.

Included but DICE have confirmed that it'll soon be improved.

Not included in this release. We're expecting it in the day-1 patch.

Yes hold down q for it.

how is the squad management?
have they improved the chopper\plane controls?

Don't know no friends online and coulnt get either in shirt time playing.

are the flags in conquest spaced out a bit more than the Beta?

Caspian is the same. New maps vary. Grand bazaar has some vicious chokepoints that turn into bloodbaths with 64 players but you can always flank.

does it have the old Battlefield feeling or is it more like BC2?
can you get an overview of the map during play?

On foot with the weapon tweaks it felt more like bf2 playing assault. Havnt played other roles to comment. The minimap has been improved but pressing m still brings up useless map.

Also the chatbox is insanely huge and can obscure too much of your screen.

What an amazing game. I disabled a tank from 2km away in Tehran by complete chance, I lolled.

Apologies for the laugh but I couldn't help myself :P

On another note I'm getting 80-110FPS on my i7 rig, higher than my 60-90 average in Beta

What is that you were using to shoot?.. a rocket launcher or what the hell?

Dcully · 25-10-2011 1:04pm

Anyone able to change the commo rose hotkey?
No matter what i try Q is always activating it, i want to bind Q to sprint, when i do i sprint but the commo rose comes up too thus preventing me strafing left and right while sprinting, must be a bug.

mozattack · 25-10-2011 1:05pm

Be good to actually hear about the game and not more PC talk about FPS, Graphic Cards, rebooting and all that

That's poor game design, when you rebind a key, you have to find and delete the original bind too. The spotting bind's in the last control menu i think.

Hold up.
So you still cant see what the level actually looks like as a whole ?
Just crappy zoomed in useless area ?

Tried that, Q regardless of what i do always brings it up even though its not bounf to commo rose.

I dont find the chat box huge at all, im running a high res on large screen however, maybe increase your resolution lads?

mozattack · 25-10-2011 1:28pm

I am hearing that the controls have been changed and are now a pain in the a##e. Maybe this is only a PS3 issue?

I pre-ordered of gamestop with a €10 deposit, I cant pre order it online now as I would not spend the money on anything else in that kip!

Unless a new GTA game was out or something....Its the Special Edition also and as far as I know its €45.99 so not too bad.

Yeah surprised they didn't fix that myself. Unless there's a key to zoom out. I really Havnt checked. Like I said I only got about an hour or so online before I had to go.

Auvers · 25-10-2011 2:17pm

BF3 Game manual is available

Also what headset would you recommend?

A few of the lads mentioned the Sennheisser PC360 a few pages back and I ordered mine from amazon over the weekend (€157 incl shipping).
Have to say without a doubt the most comfortable headset I've ever worn...sound is fantastic (this would be wasted on onboard sound) and voip is crystal clear over it...all the clan mates could hear me perfectly as well.

Yes. Press Q.

Auvers wrote: »

Yes, able to leave squads, but there needs to be two people to make a squad. Kind of odd.

Auvers wrote: »

ASDW and arrow keys, so yes.

Auvers wrote: »

Same, I think. No ladder in the big tower of Caspian Border, though

Auvers wrote: »

Mixed bag. One of the maps feels like CoD + BF together.

Auvers wrote: »

M, and N to zoom.

=-=

Bullet drop seems to be not as bad. Unable to map mouse keys.

You can zoom right out, but in the first two "zooms" you are in the same place. In the "full map zoom" you can be anywhere in the map. You gotta look for yourself, which is annoying. Minimap, you can zoom out a bit which is good for driving, and zoom out lots which is good when flying.

=-=

So far, I'm liking it. Levels take ages to load, so I may need to upgrade something, just not sure what part of the machine can i get away with upgrading, without having to upgrade everything.

Spunge · 25-10-2011 3:21pm

load times im guessing would be more ram. or an SSD.

Burgo · 25-10-2011 3:44pm

On battlelog, did any people you've added/ groups you've joined get wiped after the beta?

Yup. Everything was wiped.

MayoForSam · 25-10-2011 4:18pm

Has anyone been able to download the release day patch, that was meant to fix a few more bugs?

Glad you like it....IMHO its a very solid headset easily one of the best if not the best around. I have mine ages now and its super....happing gaming mate. HOPE YOU HEAR ME COMING!!!!
