Crotan Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 http://bf3blog.com/2011/08/battlefield-3-pc-version-wont-have-in-game-server-browser/ hmmm, I wonder if this is similar to Left 4 Dead 2, where we originally had to type into console "openserverbrowser" after first enabling developer console of course. Sounds like it will be a feature added in after the fact hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorryboutthat Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yeah the GSP we use now can't list Bf3 prices yet. This is due to some EA marketing deal with those GSPs invited to provide the alpha. I'm just glad EA didn't follow the CODBOO trend. There is going to be better GSPs than others, but at least we have a choice to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraahhm Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 here too: http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/game-servers/bf3-battlefield-3/ 50% off for preorders at Multiplay...but still nearly the same price as i3D.net?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injuneer Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 50% off for preorders at Multiplay...but still nearly the same price as i3D.net?! Something is definitely messed up on their site. front page shows a 40 player server @ $59 per month but when you click to order the price is $119.

MaydaX Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm just glad EA didn't follow the CODBOO trend. Technically Black Ops copied EA and added their own twist. It was the first COD to use a trusted providers system but seems that policy has been reversed for MW3. "Host them where you want, control settings and standard matchmaking, just like MW1" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at other hosts this is or will be the normal the price...so i guess they just doubled the price to say you get 50 % off...kind of fishy imo. After the release,who´s gonna pay like $120 per month for a single gameserver (40 slots)?! The service and hardware specs must be extraordinary...

Twiebie Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 According to the Multiplay website, BF3 uses more than double the amount of CPU usage compared to BC2 (based on Alpha testing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaydaX Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 After looking at the prices I'm even more happy that other games have not opted into a "only trusted provider" policy. Competition is a wonderful thing. Also going around that TDM is limited to 24 players max. If it turns out to be true then that's a big disappointment for me.

MaydaX Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 There seems to be a rather huge problem overshadowing the next installment of Battlefield. The game, Battlefield 3, seems to be rather unoptimized. During our behind-the-scenes gameplay hands-on we saw over 14 machines that either broke down during our hands-on or machines that were already disfunctional when we arrived. A chat with an EA staff member made it clear that it was driver related. A Battlefield 3 developer later confirmed that it was both hardware and driver related. There were both NVIDIA and AMD machines scattered around the area, the NVIDIA machines were running 128.12 drivers. Another EA staff member told me that there are no system requirements. "Every build has different system requirements so we're not sure". It seems the developers are just coding away without looking at how things affect the game. Therefore it seems that the developers are not really paying any attention to what machine the average gamer has. The game wasn't running 60 FPS on high either, even though the machines were supposed to be high-end systems. It is fairly surprising that no other gaming-related website is reporting this issue, perhaps due to the no-camera policy inside the Battlefield 3 booth. However, since we believe that this is an issue that should be known to every PC gamer and Battlefield fan we're going to post it anyway. http://www.modmywhat.com/article/Over-20--high-end-PCs-fried-at-the-Battlefield-3-booth-at-GamesCom-2011-now-in-video/858 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

injuneer Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Well, anything that was running a driver as old as 128.12 is hardly a "high end" machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
