In order to get be as accurate as possible you do, muzzle rise is much much less when you are prone/using bi-pod on something.
How do people not understand that a server disconnect is not a CTD? The BETA only "runs" while you are in-game. If you d/c from the server, the game closes and sends you to battlelog to so you can select another server.

Sure a lot of disconnects then. Doesn't mean it makes the situation any better.

once again, stay off the multiplay servers and look for GamingServers.com servers. they're the official ones. also, (it was elsewhere in this forum) for those of you who CTD every 15 min or so, try this out of game. start button: type firewall> go to windows firewall> inbound rules> bf3> in the advance tab, enable/allow edge traversal (option 2 in dropdown menu).
iono what that is or does but it was explained in a post elsewhere on here and it eliminates the crashing. apparently this was a firewall bug/issue that was the same deal in another game.

Even worse is the accuracy. I've been sniped by that thing from half-way across the map. A gun like that with a damn 12" barrel shouldn't be able to hit a barn door from inside the barn, let alone hit me running across the map 200 yards away.
Edit: I sure as hell hope they intend to stop taking Battlelog down every night for updates. Getting pretty tired of finally getting time to play, only to have Battlelog be down for 30 minutes.

After trying the BETA, it looks alright, at least DICE decided to give us the option to display your health, because most FPS shooters don't even have one anymore these days. Gameplay is nice, the only thing that bothers me is using the browser to launch the game which is bullshit, and having to exit the game and look for another server is just stupid, please DICE in the future give us an option to have a server broswer inside the game.
But I still will be getting this game, at least its not a console port.

The squad management - or lack thereof - is exactly like console. You can party-up with people before getting into the game but once you're in, you're fucked.

If you squaded up with friends, I can't see how you fucked since you're already in the squad you want to be in. As for single players, I think they did it to prevent squad hopping, but they will have to implement it back in the retail version. Whether it's an issue or not, no one doesn't want to be stuck on a squad that does nothing.

Starting off in separate squads and not being able to join the correct squad because of no squad management is being 'in the squad you want to be in?' Not sure how much BF3 you've played...

You're not sure becuase you're making a post based on an imcomplete quote.
regen health is really starting to bother me... It just takes away from the whole 'thinking' aspect. I get hit, I just hide and then pop out again 100% ready to go with no care in the world. If I got wacked and have to sit at 10 health until I find a medkit I going to think a bit before I do anything.
Regen health has to go in future games....worst thing anyone ever came up with. Why even have medics really. I just a conquest map so I can decide if I want to buy BC3 or not..

The rest of the quote has no relevance, so yes, it wasn't included. And yes, I am sure because that's how it actually is.

Regenerative Health will actually be a server side option and can be disable.

The longer i play this beta, the more it starts to piss me off. I was a big BF1942 fan, loved 2142, liked BF2 as well. I had high hopes for BF3 but, and oh god i never thought i'd say this, BFBC2 seems like the better game (judging by the beta - yes i was able to squeeze in some Caspian Border too and it was better but doesn't let me forget some bad mechanics of this game).
I always thought that the lack of prone in BFBC2 was a bad decision but i've come to the point where i start to think that BF3 would be a better game without it, too.
I always thought that the lack of prone in BFBC2 was a bad decision but i've come to the point where i start to think that BF3 would be a better game without it, too.
Here's how I know it's not a disconnect.
1. There's no battlelog message stating I was disconnected
2. Battlelog still believed I was in the game.
So again. CTD is fucking annoying.
I still retain that BC2 is garbage compared to BF3. The only bummer right now is prone.
The fix to the issue is simple. Fix your computer. Very few people are experiencing crashes to desktop. Its most likely an issue with your computer. YOU deal with it. Do you always pass the blame onto someone else.
Lots of people were getting the random server disconnects, but for the most part thats been taken care of. (If not, try the firewall edge traversal thingy, worked perfect for me)

ROFL!
The beta put me off. The external internet server browser idea to launch the game is just plain STUPID, what the hell was the benefit of doing this as opposed to using the tried and true way of ingame browser? Why fix what wasn't broken? Oh wait I forgot no one at DICE knows how to create a fully functional in game browser based on their past failures anyway.
I was once excited about this game, now I just ask myself why I pre-ordered it.
The Beta was more than just a Beta, it was definitely being presented as a marketing tool especially when those tools from Dice post shit on twitter like be prepared for a surprise tomorrow giggitygiggitygiggity and then put up a few 64 player conquest servers and "leak" the password and cry about it. This whole thing was an epic fail. For those of you that think otherwise, don't be so naive.
alt-tab works very well in the beta...

Squad hopping was fixed in BF2. Why they needed to reinvent the wheel and fuck it up in the process is anyone's guess.
Simple they want everyone use Origin and not Steam . Is it only me or it take 4 to 5 PKP bullets to kill someone and only 1 UMP bullet to do the same ?
Please read some of the dev blog posts, or that zh1tn0's twitter account.
The squad system is not the final, it is a place holder in this build of the beta.
Not only that, but they are listening to what people are crying about and taking that into consideration in changing the squad system that no one has actually seen yet.
battlelog is not origin in any way, they dont even share friends lists
how battlelog operates is not that different from alot of non steamworks games that dont integrate with their friends list ETC.
you had to log in to bc2 TWICE, if you were a steam user, 3 times
I dont see how you can single it out as origin vs steam when nothing would change, unless you are advocating it be a steamworks game(which is no differenet than origins always on DRM, because steam is always on DRM)
bu the origin sucks and steam rules thread is somewhere else
I dont have the UMP, or the PKP. Is the PKP the third LMG?
45 is a much bigger round than 7.62, just with worse overall ballistic, if they are what I think they are the UMP should own up close and fall off fast, while the PHP should have a more consistent damage profile
The entire process needs to be streamlined and cleaned up.
I like the way Bad Company 2 is handled. Just do it that way.
I don't mind Battlelog at all. Loading is actually really quick. They just need to add menu items to add and get rid of running Origin as well.
They also need to clean up the post-round summary. It takes too long and not very informative now.
bc2 needed streamlined as well, having to log in twice back to back is not a process to look at and say 'do it this way!' IMO
the server browser in battlelog is also IMHO already better than BC2's. does anyone remember how awful it was at launch?
no selecting continent/area, ping didnt work for MONTHS, it didnt remember any settings for months till they patched it so you always had to reselect area, gametype, hardcore or not etc
all of this works(atleast for me) in battlelog now. you can also actually get the details of the server your friend is playing on (not that it matters in beta since all are the same)

Anyone find a fix to the HUD not showing properly at 2560x1600?
Can you get refunds on games thru Origin, that have not been released yet?

what is the problem?
you can edit the 'usable' screen size in the graphic options, and I am guess that has something to do with hud placement
this. he needs to check his driver versions among other things
Thats just not true. the CTD's in the BF3 beta are indeed there. They are now few and far between, I rarely ever get them. I also identified the multiplay and myis servers(spelling most likely off) as constantly having that issue and never play on them anymore.
