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'm at the point of seriously starting a project to build and Arduino/mc (of some sort) based multigauge to go in the console where triple gauges normally sit. I have found a screen of the right dimensions. I would need to 3D print a bezel/housing to make it mount up pretty. That's doable. I would need to come up with interfacing circuitry for the EGT thermocouple. I'm sure there will be examples of that into Arduino out there somewhere. Ditto with characterising the output of the existing boost gauge's MAP sensor and the oil T gauge's thermistor. And then, because it is a screen, it can be controllable, so it can show more than the 3 gauges I currently have. So I can come up with a list of other things I want to be able to show on it that can be reasonably easily handled via an Arduino's inputs. I do not need this project. But the stepper gauges I'm using are giving me grief. It's time to come kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
    • Would you really prefer pillar gauges over something like this? https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-067010-haltech-ic-7-digital-dash-kit/ Or if you can spend more, this? https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-068000-haltech-uc-10/ I could write a thesis about how much better a modern dash is compared to a series of gauges. 
    • People think it's a waste of space, ugly, etc, generally associate "emissions control equipment" with "bad". These OBD1 vacuum-only systems I'm not a huge fan because I think they don't go far enough. They're wasting some of the fuel captured because they start purging as soon as the engine pulls vacuum. Later OBD1/OBD2 they put an electric purge valve on them to vent only when closed loop is active so the ECU will trim some fuel out. Even later OBD2 with zero evaporative loss the tank is 100% sealed from atmosphere until you run the engine or press the refuel door release. The tank has to take much higher vacuum/pressure spec but you never deal with saturating the charcoal canister and losing some fuel that way. The fuel also lasts as long as it would in a 100% airtight container which is nice when you're dealing with modern E10 pump gas.
    • If your luck is anything like mine, what happens is in the process of pulling hoses to get access to the one leak you create many more leaks because every o-ring was on the verge of failing and the strain of pulling it apart caused it to fail. Sometimes life is simple, sometimes you pay twice trying to save once. For the R33 you can still get most AC components from Nissan, I use nissan epc data or amayama to look up the part numbers and then search for the cheapest/most practical way of sourcing from there.
    • The dirty secret is there is nothing recyclable about the plastic bag or old plastic bottles either. Our local trash collection explicitly calls it out as hazmat in both cases. Oil-soaked rags + paper towels too. Oil-soaked cardboard is also not recyclable. The most common case of oil-soaked paper like that is pizza boxes, which are explicitly compost-only from the oil. To my knowledge hazmat oil contaminated plastic the only solution is either landfill or "thermal recycling". Most plastics in my experience there is slow permeation of the oil it's holding into the container so it's very challenging to get it 100% clean.
