I have a Q8400 @ 3.0 GHZ, 4 GB RAM, HD6850 and the game auto set to medium/mostly high settings. The game was smooth with no frame drops that I could notice. The only issue I ran into with that were random missing textures when moving around (Large chunks of the map would just turn black for a split second). It's beta, it happens. Also, for some reason, the game always defaults to windowed mode. I have to Alt+Enter to fix it at the beginning of every round. Probably some setting I haven't found. The gameplay was really fun! I loved the hit detection and the damage being done by the guns. The little things like the sniper glare, bipod setup, leaping over waist high walls, etc is all a very nice touch. Everything just feels so much more fast paced. The knifing feels....wonky. It was very hit or miss if I was going to knife a person or die first. It seems like they have taken out the whole "Instantly knife the second you hit the button" annoyingness, but it would have been latency on the server that caused the delay in when I would hit the knife button to when I would actually start to kill someone. Can't wait for some conquest.... | ||

In the BF3 alpha map won't really matter since there's only one. by the way, that quickmatch problem existed for me all the way through Bad Company 2. Disappointed to here that it's still glitching. | ||

Hey all, an American gamer girl here ;p I would very appreciate it if all european players could please stop playing to free up space for American players!!! This is an American game so Americans should have #1 priority and europeans are lagging the servers as well as having all day to play!!! it's the night now, go to sleep ^-^ Please remember this is a beta and Americans, as English speakers, can also provide more accurate feedback to the developers...I know it is harsh but imo it is for the best thank you for reading....

Rumour has it that DICE exaggerated and that you only need one 580 to run BF3 on max settings with acceptable framerate (never dips below 30 fps). I'm building my BF3 PC, I need to know if these rumours are true or not! It's exaggerated. Someone who had Q6600 and 5850 played game on Ultra with avg 40 fps, no over clocking or anything. Myself, Q9950 and 4850HD, dunno 30-60 on lowest. Still looks like i'm playing on ultra and it could be better. -_- | ||

Keep the filter list open, then there is this "find serverlist" etc button. That way it at least refreshes it. Thanks for promoting everyone, makes life easy on all of us. To everyone, like I had said in the bf3 servers thread, I will be adding everyone in the Tl clan/platoon to the reserved slot list for the TL 64 player conquest server at launch. It makes it easier for me. I'm not sure if Torte is doing the same or not however in regards to his own. So join up, join our TS if you want some squadmates, and pm me if you have admin experience, I still need more volunteers for the server come live launch on the 25th. | ||

i enjoy random teammates walking infront of my path when im shooting people ^>^ Anyways to be honest I'm kind of let down by the spotting, the triangle stays with your target wayyy too long despite cover. I'll probably start playing hardcore if they don't change this since I don't like the feeling of a triangle on my head ._> regardless games amazing ^O^! | ||

There's a HUGE delay in between when you can go from prone to crouching + shooting, so when you're pinned behind cover and want to start shooting back when you try to go to crouch there's this massive window where you can't shoot and a lot of the cover only goes to head-level when you're crouched which basically equates to get spotted = you're fucked I guess it's supposed to prevent dolphin diving and similar stuff. | ||

I'm pretty sure they slowed the game down since the alpha a little bit with the prone -> crouch changes and run speed. Maybe it's to make unlocks more valuable, maybe it's just a random change. I'll find out once I figure out FOV and get the speed boost perk again | ||

Unfortunately my laptop is nowhere near good enough to play the game on decent settings, so I'll be getting it for Xbox. If anyone wants to get some games going, add me on live. My gamertag is Pobearo. | ||

I like the prone but as someone said before, there's a huge window to which you get easily shot without any room or possibility to react. The glare reflection of snipers is a lovely touch. No more bullshit. Hate the maps though besides Metro. | ||
