Might change some people's minds I guess. Not that keen on d/l Origin now myself.

Edited by DivHunter

EULA don't actually hold any legal weight anywhere really, they are never tested in court because they would fail. However, their information gathering and sharing provisions are a worry.

But no longer for me, BF3 was a total waste of bandwidth. I don't pay for map packs, especially ones claiming to be new games.

Cancelled my pre-order, uninstalled BF3 + Origin.

Jacob don't be a sook you got owned at BF3 so you raged and uninstalled (comment not designed to start a flaming war just pointing out possibilities)

BF3 is a completely new game engine to BC2

Frostbite 1.0

Frostbite debuted in 2008 with Battlefield: Bad Company. It features HDR Audio, which adjusts different types of sounds' loudness and lets players hear important sounds clearly even if there are other noises being generated (for example, gunshot sounds are always louder than in-game music; the in-game music will lower in volume while shots are being fired), and Destruction 1.0, which allows the player to destroy certain objects, like walls.

Frostbite 1.5

The second version of Frostbite debuted with Battlefield 1943 in 2009. It improved on the in-game destruction capabilities with Destruction 2.0, allowing the player to destroy entire buildings instead of just walls. In 2010, DICE released Battlefield: Bad Company 2 using this version of the engine, which was the first game to bring Frostbite Engine to the Windows platform. The Windows version of the game has minor DX11 shader support; consequently, it doesn't take full advantage of the entire API. The multiplayer component of Medal of Honor also uses this version of the engine, though with limited in-game destruction capabilities.

The next generation of Frostbite will debut with Battlefield 3. It will take full advantage of the DirectX 11 API and 64-bit processors,[4] with no support for DirectX 9 (nor, therefore, Windows XP).[5] It will also feature enhanced in-game destruction with Destruction 3.0, creating more refined physics than its predecessor. Additionally an important distinction on its naming is that Frostbite 2 is not called Frostbite 2.0.[6]

DICE has given several presentations on advances in their rendering technology:

LOL NOOB RAGE.

GG at judging it on it's beta you r tard. I thought it was a POS the first day, but it's really grown on me, and shows how far they've come since BC2 in terms of both gameplay and visuals. That said I've had to drop my voltages on my cards as well as the core clocks on them as it thrashes them as hard as Furmark, first app I've seen to do that. Kept having hard lockups until I did, and both cards sit on 63-69c!

I can't wait for the full game even more now

agree Bozo i dropped my CPU from 4.5ghz back to stock mainly due to cooling but in the game my cpu load is very high

i don't mind origin and battlelog

if you remember with BF2 if you crashed mid game you didn't receive your ranks and rewards with battlelog as soon as its awarded its on the website

Whats your battelog name Madaz? Mine's sherbert86.

Sorta considering buying a second 6950 over the next couple of months, I reckon it'll be pretty awesome to run this game on full graphics :)

I notice that my GPU sits on 100% load, 100% of the time with this game. CPU usage is about 70% average.

If what they've regurgitated as the open beta was a closed alpha I'd let it slide.

Please enlighten us, what part of the gameplay has improved since BC2?

Also, my rage is pro.

Cpd - are they not allowing any more downloads?

Div Hunter - I'm not 100 percent sure what new things you are looking for, I have bc2 its ok I got bored with it a few months after getting it (the same will probably happen with bf3 also)

There seems to be a lot of emphasis put on team play I personally love the flash lights, lasers, don't like rockets but hey you can't love everything

Remember this is 1 map 1 gametype we will have coop modes also

    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
    • I think both. Higher ratio and more stout. I think at least part of his lift increase came from the rocker.
