Battlefield 3

    Ugh it's BF fucking 3. Stop shovelling in that Rush mode from BC2 where it belongs.

    Let me shed some light on why I dislike this mode in general:

    It goes against what Battlefield is supposed to be about. It is supposed to be about open conquest where you can flank and go about doing what you want at any point - it gives you choice and what rush does is funnel you down a narrow linear path of boringness.

    Let's see what's new on MapCore today...

    Could've gotten away with it had they not already announced all the multiplayer modes yet

    yea right

    as for rush, IMO it simulates in quite good way the pressure on battlefield, ok you're right you don't have that freedom, but still you need to FUCKING think how to take or defent that mcom shit, i had some really nice maches in rush mode, so i like that mode !!!

    I think the main problem with Rush is that most veterans haven't given Rush much of a chance, nor considered that its BF3 incarnation is most likely going to play a lot better than BC2's because, well, it's BF3.

    With that said I still think Conquest was the more fun mode in BC2 and thoroughly expect that to remain the case. It's quite simply the definitive Battlefield experience for me, giving everything the game can offer and offering maximum choice in play style. Hopefully it won't have been neglected in favour of Rush.

    Another teaser out. Short as hell though.

    It's fucking badass awesome, if you can actually get in a game.Sigh.

    What's the problem?

    I haven't tried playing the beta yet but I saw in the mailing list that apparently you can only see 100 pages by default and that it's ordered from FULL first... But that apparently there's more servers to be found. Or something

    Sorry to be of not much help

    Spent about 30 minutes trying to get into a game with a buddy but we ended with giving up because either me or him got disconnected every time one of us actually got into a game. Then I've also just had random exits/disconnects from games, in fact all the games I've played have ended like that, and in general then I've spent about 70% of the evening waiting in queues rather than in games. Most of it seems like problems with there just being too many trying to join the servers, but the sudden exits (crashes?) were really annoying.

    The good news is that the game fucking rocks, had some absolutely amazing firefights, especially in the last section of the map. Held one of the apartment entrances for like 10 minutes, running out of ammo only to get restocked from an enemy soldier just as I was running out of pistol rounds, and eventually getting most of the enemy team angry enough that they seemed to focus only on me, bombarding the building with RPGs and grenades, pretty amazing adrenaline rush. And this is even without vehicles, with them it can only get better~~~ great job guys~

    Also it runs surprisingly well, defaulted to everything on high except AA, 1920x1200, above 30fps all the time. Also had to update my graphics drivers, so I went with those new ones Nvidia released for the beta. Might lover the detail to get a better framerate, but even here it is totally playable~

    Someone got the password for a server playing Caspian Border ~

    Is that Caspian Border map available on the 360? It looks quite expansive

    It is in the beta, just not public/activated yet. There are some passworded servers that run it though. Afaik.
