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

    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
    • The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.
    • Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
