password is there for a reason, stupid people dont give damn and hack their way in. so most password protected server had to be shut down thanks to those clowns  vmad.gif

Caspian server password was leaked, as far as I know. People merely share them online.

But if there's something that can be hacked in Battlelog, better now than later I guess, so DICE can fix them tongue.gif

Erm, just select the filter to search for empty server.
Join any empty server, doesn't matter where, go in, choose any class and deploy.

Then you can take your time to go through all the setting.

Kind of stupid they make it that you have to deploy first, then you can access the settings, but thats how it is.

Just finished an almost 2 hours session. Time for me to sleep too. tongue.gif

Its really fun. Lots of annoying graphics bug though, I'm not sure if its my graphic card artifacting or the game/driver issue. Will have to wait for nVidia to release a final driver version and the final game to come out.

maybe they should make the teammate icon more visible,

i hate those teammate who using flash and love to "poke on your face"

so i get panic fast and spray in da face = team kill =.=......

Exactly. Team mate is so much easier to spot in BF2 with its clear indication. In this BF3, its very hard.

Guys,

I thought the beta doesn't include Malaysia? or did you all pre order from Origin? I pre order from TSB, any workaround?

Beta is open for everyone worldwide. Regardless of whether you've pre ordered or not.

I haven't.

Did you try quitting the server and rejoining? I know its hard to get slot, but sounds like its a game bug, nothing to do with your PC.

FRAPS software have a function to take screen shot in any game. The same software people use to show the fps number.

I think i have enough of the Beta.

Operation Metro is just a damn map trying to please the CoD audience. It has everything that defines CoD, such as selfish camping or corridor shooting. No point trying to be team player here as no one cares at all. I play medic and most of the time, i am healing myself.

The unlock system is stupid, why do i need to unlock red dot for every single gun separately? To keep the stupid CoD fans playing BF3? I dont need this kind of stupid carrot to keep me playing. I just need a large map like Caspian Borders with lots of vehicles to keep me coming back or interesting maps to keep me interested.

That brief 1 hour i had in Caspian, i had much more fun playing than playing 10 hours on Metro, because its a Battlefield map. Not CoD in Battlefield skin.

BF3 suppose to be a Battlefield, not another fukken CoD.

Dont give me the bullshit that its a Beta, its 24 days before release and there should not be retarded bugs everywhere. The game has so many flaws and problems.

Dice really should have made the Caspian public too.

QUOTE(DrBlueBox @ Oct 1 2011, 10:36 PM)
Lucky you. Putting Caspian as filter leads to 0 servers sad.gif

They shut down all Caspian servers already

why the f do you guys compare it with the previous battlefield games. sure it was fun but hey, i mean dont you want something new?

You're beginning to sound like a COD fanboy defending the game every which way you can.
People are entitled to their own opinion. Just because it doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't mean they are wrong and you are right.

Talk about whining.

EA is trying hard to discourage people from using Origin.


Maybe you guys should consider playing with another mule EA account if you want to play those "illegal" servers, especially if you have other games in your EA account sweat.gif

I dont get it. Why would they ban an account just playing on hacked server?

I thought its free and open to every one?

Besides its beta and stats dont mean much since it will get reset later.
*
For now, I think its just scare tactics. Just to remind everyone not to join any illegal server. Which is funny because these servers are nothing more than dedicated servers, and once upon a time, we used to have dedicated server support sad.gif

The main thing here is that, in BF3, anyone who want to have their own dedicated server needs to rent from DICE official ranked server provider. Meaning, you cannot start your own dedicated server from your PC.

Here, people are doing it, and DICE is just running around shouting blasphemy. IF people can still create their own server in the future, they don't want people to join them as so, they have to scare everyone so we will not use these server in the future.

Lack of squad management is not a map feature, I believe its the same regardless of the map you're in.

Fragnetic is one of the most expensive server host maybe due to local MY and SG infrastructure. SG hosting is much more higher than MY if you talk about MY having slower internet etc.

Gameservers only charge $1/slot = RM 3+/ slot
*
One thing I'd like to ask about Fragnetic. Who are the one who host those public server? Are they doing it for free or will all of their server require someone to actually pay for them?

I'd just like to get a picture of servers availability when the full game is out before dropping the cash on this game. If we have to pay to play online, then I have no intentions on doing that.

I believe EA do pay for them or that is their form of promoting themselves. They setup 1 machine to promote so people buy from them?

Thanks. That's what I'm worried about. If they just set up 1 or 2 free server, then getting slot would be even worse than now.

I really hope EA help setup a reasonable amount of server in our region by sponsoring some server or something sweat.gif

tried to join a server and it says
"No contact with EA backend. Please try again later."

anyone having this issue now?

Everyone I think. Even in other forums people are reporting that.

DICE is probably patching or doing something on their side

Of course. When I say free, I actually meant freely available for anyone to join and not having anyone outside Fragnetic to pay for it tongue.gif

Hardly can join any servers this weekend laugh.gif

I managed to join twice yesterday night. You have to randomly click on any server and join. You will always get server full, but when lucky, you might click on one that happens to have a slot.

In the 3 hour I played, many people do leave and join, so slots do open all the time, its just that there are too many people looking to join, so they quickly disappear. By the time you refresh your list to find an empty slot, they are already gone.
