I couldn't imagine subjecting my laptop to Bf3 one bit. I'm waiting for the console beta to come around.

Tong · 2011-09-27, 12:09

The beta is only for americans who pre-ordered this.

Wtf EA, so their money is better than anyone's else?

"Americans" have nothing to do with this. It's open for everyone(Russia here)

Tong · 2011-09-27, 12:57

Hmm that's odd, my friend said something like that and showed me that contract thingy that stated that... hmm

Sorry about that.

Well whadda'ya know. Apparently my laptop has a Radeon HD 6750 card, placing it in the "Cancel Pre-Order" category.

Asuras · 2011-09-27, 13:42

I'm really looking forward to picking up the AN-94 again. SO EXCITED.

Eh, if your system is good enough as a whole, you should be able to run it at or very close to the highest settings, anyway.

I tend to run upper-middle-class or highest settings on games. Hopefully BF3 isn't so obnoxiously draining that I can't get away with that.

I have an i7 along with my HD 5770, too.

Upper mids settings are possible, but I think a consistant framrate is only achievable at mid settings @ 1440x900. Then again, I won't know until I have the game in the computer and start tweaking.

Did anyone here get a go on the 64P Caspian Border server using rumncoke before they changed the password?

A few lads on PCPP commented that it was pretty damn epic.

I pre-ordered BF3 through an online retailer so I didn't get a early access code however I'll definitely be joining the ranks tomorrow night when it's full public access.

Yeah, my friend also got a go on Caspian - he's now can't even play on Paris. CB is bloody awesome

PC Gamers Left Out Of EA's Massive $1.6m Battlefield 3 Tournament

Quote:

It’s fairly safe to say that PC gamers are getting SUPER MEGA PUMPED over the release of the upcoming Battlefield 3. Battlefield’s one of those games that was born on the PC and thrives on the PC; both AMD and Nvidia have released drivers in the past few days to let PC gamers get in on shooting fun. To get folks even more excited, EA and Virgin Gaming have teamed up to unleash a massive BF3 contest in 2012 with over $1.6 million in cash and prizes. Better start warming up that mouse! …Oh, wait. It’s console only.

“The biggest, most realistic, room-shaking FPS ever demands a tournament that will always be remembered,” the contest’s sign-up page brags. “That's why Virgin Gaming, and EA DICE have come together to bring you an online competition you'll be telling your grandkids about. So strap on your boots and check your magazine—when the spoils of war are this rich, you can bet things are gonna get messy.”

Then, um, it includes links for PS3 and Xbox 360 owners to register in the tourney. This is “THE LARGEST ONLINE CONSOLE GAME TOURNAMENT EVER,” you see. Sorry to break it to you, long time PC Battlefield fans. Oh yeah, you won't be able to get it through Steam, either.

While you’re recovering from that kick in the teeth, consider the words of GameStop President Tony Bartel. In an interview with IndustryGamers that mainly revolved around digital services and the future of cloud gaming, Bartel offered up this interesting tidbit: “We continue to believe that the console is a strong platform and will continue to be the gold standard.” That’s right, folks, consoles are apparently considered the gold standard. Maybe that’s why there’s no BF3 tournament for us lowly PC types?

Rofl, that's pretty funny.

Asuras · 2011-09-28, 21:00

Wow. How unexpected.

Though, maybe they're looking for more players? A PC that can run BF3 properly is much harder to come by in the population than a console like the Xbox 360 or Ps3.

NorthernFallout · 2011-09-29, 03:04

Oh EA. You so funny. If only you could stop making good games I could stop supporting you.

Apparently the CB servers password is sexyelevator

And also, anyone else like me who didn't receive their pre-order code or just didn't bother to pre-order (FOR SHAME), you can download the client here and install it when BF3B goes Public on Origin to save waiting around!

But I must say I'm pretty pissed off about that tournament.

Now the only way MW3 can win back us PC gamers is to have a huge PC only tournament...
