Battlefield 3 (Page 1 of 3)

I have 0 problems with Origin. There are plenty of bugs with the game though. Random flashes, falling through the floor, etc etc.

The open beta doesent start until later tonight =/

Ah ok, cheers, ill try again later and after downloading it

THIS IS SO GOOD.

There's no campaign in the beta, only Operation Metro (Rush) and Caspain Border (Conquest), which requires a password and is a hell of a pain to get into (CB, not Metro)

I liked MW, everything after that is shit. Just wait for the sound quality, oh boy. For me, this is A LOT better that the last ~4 CoD games together, quality wise.

This is.... Beautiful.

So, should I invest in the PS3 wireless stereo headset? I'm getting the impression that my tv speakers just aren't going o cut it.

Also, by 'sound placement' do you mean that a shot from your left will be louder from the left speaker/headphone?

Don't know how much it would cost you, but yes, a headset will make a ton of difference. And by sound placement, from what I hear (hah) is, that the bullet sound changes dynamically based on where you are, you could estimate the distance between you and your enemies rifle, it's not just a prerecorded sound played by a spcript. You can even hear how the bullet passes even through leafes. (Or at least I think I hear it). But that's nothing, until you go inside the Metro, then the acoustic is different in each room, it's... it's just new quality, man.

Looking forward to it, I love the letters and words you write. Too bad they closed the servers with Caspian Border, now that's a map.

Well, I've had time to play about 2 hours of Operation Metro Rush on PS3...and it's cool...though I've been getting my butt handed to me Kill/Death ratio-wise. I suppose that BF is more of a team-success game than a personal achievement game though. It's going to take some adjusting from the last 2 years of CoD that I've played.
I'd really like to try some different modes too...and without vehicles, it's sort of like a lite version of Call of Duty with a better map, better physics and less customization of gear...

The sound physics though, are awesomely impressive...and I suppose there are many customizations for me to unlock too(being blinded by flashlights and red dot is annoying and awesome at the same time...being able to see the flashlight lights is just awesome...especially when the guy carrying them is running...lol
...the physics of it all is really the most impressive part. I'd just like to experience more aspects of the gameplay before giving my final verdict.

Wish I'd gotten to try out the other map...though I'd do well to learn the layout of the metro better anyway...
