    Long waiting times?
    Ive no problems finding servers with rom within seconds, you must be on console?

    Console yes. Couple of minutes waiting to get into a game, a few times. But nothing I imagine won't be sorted out come release.

    Speak his mind!? He's a hypocrite who panders to his main audience (Xbox players) and tries his damnedest to go against the grain when possible to get views. There is nothing original about his videos, tedious is what they are and have been a good while now especially the gameplay videos. Only so many times I one can listen to him screaming down his mic, complaining about lag on a 4 bar connection and playing like a complete idiot.

    edit - sorry for going off topic. I'll stop it there :)

    I did what some of the others did and selected it from :

    http://store.origin.com/store/eaemea/en_GB/home/ThemeID.850300/ccRef.en_IE

    which loaded Origin and started downloading automatically.

    I've just spent almost an hour on the PS3 version. The gameplay is brilliant, but compared to the PC's graphics I am a little disappointed.

    Ughhhhh....

    Sad to hear it about PS3 but in a few months we won't be checking out the PC appearance anymore so it won't make a difference.

    Ah, cheers! it's down at the moment, guessing due to traffic. I downloaded it on xbox for the time being.

    It keeps crashing on me which is highly annoying :/


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    turn off upnp protocols on your router.

    had the same issue did this and voila no more crashing (except sometimes at the end of a round on caspian border)

    Ok done, can definitely see more servers now but have they changed the password again??? Keep getting invalid password every server I try!!

    So much fcuking Lag! I'm just waiting for it to be usable.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,624 ✭✭✭Thor


    My god this beta sucks!!

    Can't change the melee key, For some reason it wont register any input, Highly annoying!!

    Also, only being able to edit settings in game is just obscene!!

    To be honest, I can't tell much of a difference between this and battlefield 2!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,901 ✭✭✭Twilightning


    Game looks and runs fantastic on my rig, but I'm really very annoyed at the fact that I can't replace a lot of the original keys via rebinding them. I've always used the arrow keys for movement and the surrounding keys for everything else and I just can't do that with this game. It's that bad that it's actually just made me not want to play it due to the fact that I'm stuck with the usual WASD setup which I can't get used to.

    There are issues with key binding, its well known about. Best thing is to ignore and play and enjoy, its only for a few weeks at the end of the day!

    It's shocking that they're using the PC as the game's leading platform and they've gotten something this integral to gameplay so horribly wrong. I could rebind everything in Battlefield 2 and I can't do it for 3? Even after everyone moaned about it during the alpha.

    The BC2 beta had the same issue I believe and it was fixed by the release?


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,582 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    PS3 beta is quite bad tbh, so campy and just poor in general.

    Won't be buying


  • Registered Users Posts: 122 ✭✭coadyd


    im on xbox and have to say I wont be buying it . If I had a PC i would in a heart beat .


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭TiGeR KiNgS


    To all the noobs this is a BETA, i.e not finished yet, a work in progress.

    Over the course of the next few weeks this game is gonna be updated umteen times, fixing glitches and stuff like key binding etc.

    Please don't judge on a BETA.

    I think DICE deserve the benefit of any doubt given how Battlefield 2 turned out.

    Cliff note: If you can't stand stuff breaking then don't play BETA's


  • Registered Users Posts: 122 ✭✭coadyd


    I just think its way too much like bad company 2 . didn't like that either

    DICE released BF:BC1+2, all their benefit of the doubt has been used.

    I must have missed the memo that BC1+2 were meant to be bad games?
