Thanks and your welcome

P.S take a look at the leaked alpha version screenshots with the APC, take note of what is said in the chat box lol i thought it was funny even though its in alpha trail:0)

Thanks for the links, the screenshots make me even more excited!

Let's all just hope that the game has a good storyline.

 

[rivo101]

Meh, im not looking for a good story with this.
I just want a really fun multiplayer/co-op experience

 

[Gman450]

So you don't play SP ?

 

[Lobodomy]

I'm sure the multiplayer and co-op experience will be great I think the co-op will be really fun simply because I believe the action will be great. As long as there's great action it will be enjoyable when playing with a friend (for me, personally).

As for a storyline... I'd love if there was a good one, but I won't complain as long as the co-op and multiplayer is enjoyable, which I'm sure it will be.

 

[rivo101]

Ive always enjoyed playing co-op with a friend More games should have Campaign co-op. Plus i know i will be setting the difficulty level to the hardest because thats when co-op games are most enjoyable

@Gman450 i love single player games but i dont see this game having a good SP story due to the fact that they have been a multiplayer focused franchise.

I didnt like the BAD COMPANY SP aspect just because i hated those stupid unfunny characters.

 

[somdow]

lord knows i cant WAIT! for this game!!!

i dont play SP on shooters usually. its all about the MP lol. now if they can figure out how to add SP baddies as real humans then id do that

 

[Gman450]

I usually play SP. Never have played MP in my life . LOL ! Maybe I'll try it out some day.

 

[Lobodomy]

I actually don't expect the SP to be a disappointing! That 12 minute gameplay trailer changed my expectations, I think it at least won't be bad.

 

[Lobodomy]

I'm expecting you will all be playing on PC?

 

[wieschie]

I'm building a new computer specifically for this. I'm looking forward to the SP but I'll probably be online about 10 hours a day to begin with.

 

[Lobodomy]

Same here. I'm building a new computer without a GPU so I can afford better parts, and planning to get a nice GPU in october for BF3 when I have more money to spend. If it wasn't for school I'd put in 10 hours a day as well, but I'm limited to only about 5

 

[cbrunnem]

i hope those screen shots are of console gaming not the pc version. im not that impressed.

 

[HEXiT]

the water looks nice but the rest looks like BC2... it doesnt really look at all much different... then again the open beta for bc2 had the same kind of issues... pitty on release they still hadnt fixed them...
i seriously hope they dont do what they did in bc2 with the gfx scaling.
dx9 looked virtualy no different to dx11 because they used cheats to emulate dx10 effects... things like that, could have taken a lot less resorces if they had just used dx10 to create them propperly. and left them out of the dx9 version... and dx11 support particularly sucked... i couldnt honestly tell the difference apart from the framerate drops... i really do hope they sort it out for this ittereation.

 

[Lobodomy]

Apparently, in those screenshots, the game is running on low settings with low resolution and currently has driver issues.

 

[Lobodomy]

Just checked the BF3Blog and it appears that DICE released the recommended system requirements for the alpha trial:

Windows 7 or Vista (SP1)
EA Origin
CPU: quad core 2.0 GHz or faster
RAM: 4 GB or more
Hard Drive: 7.25 GB free disk space
Video RAM: 512 MB or greater
DirectX 10 or 11 compatible video card with latest drivers (AMD 11.5 or later, nVidia 275.33 or later)
Sound: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible card
Internet: broadband connection

 

[bdizzle11]

Eww, those trees look like poo. Low settings is right.

 

[somdow]

my system is ready and waiting lol. the ONLY thing i think i want to change is my video card....not that its bad (gtx 470) but you know....i want something a lil bit upthere.

 

[easymark26]

I missed where it said the open beta would start 9/11... am I just overlooking something?

 

[Lobodomy]

It's on the Facebook page that OP linked. Scroll down until you see the picture that was uploaded yesterday at 7:59am. Click on it and it will say that in the description. I don't believe that is official though as in the FAQ released today, they stated that it will be in September but the exact date will be announced in the future.

Wow, your a dieing breed my friend haha

 

[rivo101]

BAM and here you guys all go a real good look at the alpha version via a youtube video

Thanks and your welcome

 

[Lobodomy]

Thanks for that link, I didn't see that video yet. All the videos seem to be getting removed (for obvious reasons), but I saw a couple other ones already a few hours ago. Makes me even more excited!

 

[mute20]
