It launches in 20 minutes!
Except for us in Europe who have to wait until Friday... Jeez.
Anyways played and loved Battlefield since 1942, and I'm very excited about it.
Take your COD MW3 and shove it up your backside.  |

I am one of those lucky EU citizens (UK) who has to wait an extra 3 days. Is that still true of those downloading from origin? |

I hated them in BF2 jets were ungodly hard to kill unless your side also had good pilots. The stinger missile I found in the beta works fairly well actually. (unlike the sam turrets in BF2. ) Yeah planes have flare unlock, but you can reload the stinger before their flare timer reloads assuming their still buzzing you.

Please proceed upon unlock to explain to us in gory detail why its better than everything COD-related in the world, please.
To this day people still scream at me for not having touched COD. I consider myself "clean" of their taints. |

No need to wait, main reason is it's not freaking call of duty  |

still 2 hours till i can start downloading it and most likely take a good 2 hours since it's about 20GB in size...
EDIT:My mistake, it's already downloading even though i can only play it in 2 hours.... |

90% downloaded and installed and 16 minutes till it's officially unlocked and playable, so the timing is almost perfect.... |

3 Nvidia GTX580's in triple SLI at the ultra settings is a slide show in tthe single player campaign, and i had to back it down to high quality to get decent frame rates but oh my god the visuals are umbelievable.....I haven't seen hardware struggle like this since the original Crysis was released in 2007 and eating any piece of hardware alive at the highest quality settings...
CPU wise i'm running a pair of 6 core Xeon X5650's with an EVGA classified SR-2 dual socket motherboard, so that's 12 cores and 24 threads with hyperthreading enabled and running at 4 Ghz with 24 GB of system ram and a pair of SSD's in raid 0.... |

Please be trolling, the thought of that hardware struggling isn't to encouraging tbh, I'm running a i7 920 @ 3.6, 6GB ddr 3 ram, and a 570, I thought I might have a chance to get some decent frame rates.....
I ran the beta with a couple of 275's sli'd and it was ok but I heard the beta was locked into medium settings.

What res?
How many screens?
...That's pretty poor performance from a $5-6K system - the PS3 is probably out-performing your frame rate.
FPS to me is all about the frag, couldn't care too much about graphics - the only area of the screen I care about is the 5 pixels in the center of the screen, the rest of it could be in vector graphics to be honest.
headshot, headshot, bunnyhop, bunnyhop, frag, frag, kapow, kerblammo, headshot, headshot, etc etc etc

**** BF3 They made it require Vista or higher, I'm not wasting money on buying a new OS for a computer that I'm going to retire when I have the money to do so. It's being distributed by EA anyways, I hate EA. There's only 1 game EA is going to publish that I will forego my hatred for EA, and that's Mass Effect 3. |

Sucks for you man BF3 is best MP for a shooter i've played since BC2 or TF2. IMO TF2 better than BC2. So that's 3 years since the last real good MP shooter has come out. On top of that to be good at BF3 you need to be quick on your toes as only a couple of bullets will drop you. So they didnt dumb it down.
I suppose I should like a dumb fanboy... Maybe I am, but it's a seriously good and fun game that gives you tons and of options or gameplay modes.

5760*1200 resolution across 3 screens and i was doing maybe 20~25 FPS tops on the ultra settings, and keep i mind that the graphics cards alone are 1500$, the CPU's are 2200$ between both and just the motherboard alone is 700$, not to mention 750$ of memory and 1500$ of water cooling equipement for everything and a pair of SSD's in raid 0....It is pretty much the fastest home PC you can build today.....There's no faster hardware...
I did back off to the high settings and now got back up into the usual 60+ FPS range, so i think i can combine high quality settings with some still set on ultra, just not everything for smooth gameplay across 3 screens, even with 3 cards... |

do you have the 1.5 gb 580's or the 3gb 580's? Also, the amount of textures that are going through the game engine are bigger than the video card memory to handle. Therefor the cards stream the textures from the hard drive. Try installing the game to your ssd if it isnt already.
Also, BF3 does not like anything above 4x AA if I remember correctly. So try turning that down.

It could be related to the regular 1.5 GB GTX580's and the game exceeding the amount of memory on board, and yes, the game is already installed on the SSD's in raid, so it could be much worse for those still using a regular hard drive.
As for the SR3,i already saw a picture of the board, but to be worth it for me since i'm already running a pair of 6 core gulftown CPU's on an SR-2 at 4ghz, i'd want the ivy bridge versions wich will be available with 8 cores on each processor
Here's a pic of the beast:

BC2 sucked majorly, so I don't know if your review is good or bad lol.
All the footage of BF3 I've seen looks really good though. I wish I could run it atm. By the time I get around to it, the multiplayer will be dead. |

Gotta love VPN, played 4 of the new maps so far, caspian rush which seems heavily defender biased, and 3 of the conquest maps, one in paris which is every bit as good as the operation metro map from the beta was bad, some tight conquest map and a larger docks map, epic game is epic.

There was a ton of BF2 servers still running last year even. Still had a healthy population (ample full servers to choose from). BC2 Still had ample servers as well. So unless you're not going to upgrade in the next 3-6 years. (Bf2 was released in 2005) I dont know what to tell you. But seeing as you're sill running an xp machine i'd say you're far behind the curve already.

You'd be surprised how many people are still running XP. 
But yeah I'm looking at another 2 years I think. Economy sux, took a huge paycut (that's supposed to be temporary, but we know how that goes) and I've got too much debt due to that to be able to justify spending the money on a new system.
I am however going to pick up MW3 just for the single player campaign and because it will run under XP lol. I don't think it will be as good as what I've seen of BF3 so far though. |
