    After analyzing the data from our first round of closed Caspian Border tests, we have great news for participants in the Battlefield 3 PC Open Beta: the DICE team has decided to bring back Caspian Border for the beta’s final weekend and conduct an open large scale test of the 64 player Caspian Border map.

    *****Please keep in mind that as this is beta we will be stress testing our servers***** As such, users may experience crashes, network instability and outages as we roll out and configure servers and network utilities. Understand that such potential issues and the testing environment are not reflective or indicative of the final product and that, through your participation, you will be helping to ensure future stability and functionality.

    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 7th, in the afternoon (CET).

    Edit: PC Only

    Some of the servers are laggy as hell, others play beautifully. Trial and error, then make a note of the ones that work well for you

    Brilliant haven't even driven a vehicle yet. Will be playing this all night I reckon. Haven't got a mic yet as my old headset broke so I won't be on TS unfortunately :(. Waiting for the Sound Blaster Recon3D Omega Wireless to be released which will hopefully be before the 28th of October.

    LOL the way I look at it, I have a PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 and rather than spending €100 on a headset for each, spend €250 on a really good quality one that will do all three and will probably work with all future consoles too so it will hopefully last me 10+ years.

    If anyone needs confirmation that this is a real Battlefield game you only need to use Lucutus as your yard stick! If he loves it then its the business, and guess what, the Jesus One loves it!
