    With my system specs (core i5+GTX460+4GB RAM) will I be able to run the game smooth at 1920*1200? And would I benefit from my 8800GT for physx or am I better off with the 460 by itself?

    Thanks in advance

    wont be able to run on ultra but you should be able to run high best way is to turn everything onto max then turn it down if your getting lag and work out what are best settings from their i mean iam running eyefinity but on medium settings with a 6970 and your running on a single monitor i take it? at least you should be able to run bf3 with a mix of medium and high keep and eye on your fps with fraps

    Yeah i agree mate,its a toned down version feature wise with millions of unlocks which arnt really needed tbh,like you say we have no choice.
    My biggest problem is that the guns feel weightless,they have no unique feeling to them,they all feel the same to me.

    Roll on the karkand dlc.

    Anyone else having problems with the party invite system? Everytime I join a party and then the party leader starts a game I get disconnected from the server almost instantly. Then I can't rejoin the server because it says I already have a spot reserved.

    Win/Loss is the ONLY statistic that matters. Or is my 80% win percentage in BF2 just "luck"?

    Umm...that how it works IRL. And it keeps jets from being nearly as overpowering as they were in BF2. Heaven forbid, Jet pilots need actual skill now.

    The DAO is one of the early pre-order bonuses. Still prefer SMG's over it though. [Maybe on Rush its a different story, but for any outdoor map, any shotgun is a disadvantage]

    Skill with the cannon maybe but it renders air to air missiles completely useless unless your firing them at somebody who dont have flares.

    In the next patch they may as well take them out as there useless.

    Did you install from Origin or from DVD?

    Many people have issues installing from other sources other than Origin.

    The solution:

    * Right click on the BF3 Origin game under "My Games" and select "Repair Game". Basically will download the game all over but will fix the problem.

    Done this several times with many friends.

    I'm getting this. WTF???

    [​IMG]

    ok, went to type in the code again, this time it said the code was already in use. but BF3 wasn't showing in my game list. restarted Origin and it was there. but now I have to download the game instead of installing from DVD? it'll take forever!!!

    EDIT: or is it actually installing from the DVD? my "download" speed is just over 1mb/sec, there's no way I get that download speed ever. usually sits around 400kb/sec. I'm guessing it's installing from the DVD but why does it say "downloading"? still, almost 4 hours to go!!!! :(

    EDIT2: ok, stopped downloading and then deleted the downloaded files, put in the DVD and clicked install from there, it's now installing from DVD, 18 minutes to go :) god that was a bit stressful!!!

    Got the game last night, installed it.... played a bit.
    Basically, the game looks gorgeous. And I'm surprised at how smooth it runs.

    But... I don't like Origin. I know the service is still in it's infancy and will (hopefully) grow and evolve over time... but right now, no.
    Also, battlelog is a joke. I can understand them putting your stats online for others to view... like they did with Bad Company 2. But there's no reason to make you launch the game from a damn website. Specially if you just want to play the single player.

    Right now, starting up the single player (to me) feels as bloated and stupid as starting up GTA4. Windows LIVE and the Rockstar Social Club... only with BF3 it's Origin and the Battlelog site.
    Needs to be a work around for people who just want to play the single player...



    Also, everyone should avoid buying games directly through Origin at the moment. There are lots of posts on various forums about people getting double charged, or even charged for orders they've canceled.

    I forgot to say it dont work like that in real life,i play alot of falcon 4 and once you get a lock and the enemy drops flares/chaff u still have the lock,flares and chaff confuse the missile threat(flares are Infra Red guided and Chaff is Radar guided) THEY DONT confuse the Lock on signature in real life whatsoever well in falcon 4 it dont which is one of the most realistic simualtions ever made even in 2011.

    Most people cant even get the jet engines,electronics etc to start up nevermind take off,fly it,learn its avionics and fight with it in a group of wingmen. :)
