Battlefield 3

[Activate: AMD]

My only (minor) complaint is that there doesn't seem to be many destructible buildings. I know everything is broken, but would be nice if you could blow up some other walls or something.

Thats my complaint with pretty much ALL of BF3. Only a small selection of buildings are fully destructible. It seems pretty sad considering that BF:BC2 had a much higher % of buildings that were truly destructible. I remember the map at the end of 1000 tick Oasis matches would basically be clear cut. DICE's "more destrucible" environments in Frostbite 2 boil down to fewer buildings but cooler looking explosions. Forgive me for thinking thats 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

Nice. Been ages since I played. Maybe I should try again.

The sizes of the game updates for BF3 are heinous.. I just logged into battlelog on a whim and saw there was a game update. 6.2GB! I know we live in an age of fast internet, but this is ridiculous. I have 77GB used on my SSD (OS drive) and 30GB of it is just BF3. Inexcusable.

Finally picked this game up via the Origin sale going in last week. I was able to get this game for 12 or 13 bucks, I can't remember. Definitely worth the price! It also runs very well in Nvidia Surround, I am very pleased!

Before you keep going. I should tell you. I don't buy into it because of the black gaps. I don't want the black gaps. I could accept one screen that's wider instead of the black edges. I may be persuaded for something better. Also the frame rate drops. Maybe I wanted one screen because it seemed to be faster. I think it was.

More like 4.2 GB bug/glitch fest. I tried the end game maps earlier, sounds from tanks and motorcycles would cut out.

Anyways, Im glad to say I can now run this game on ultra thanks to this new CPU, I did not expect such an improvement in BF3. I figured more video would make the biggest difference, now even with this 8350 I have almost everything on ultra except for 1 or 2 things on high and never drop below 60 fps, with old thuban @ 3.85ghz even on lower settings sometimes I would drop to 40s, this does not happen with 8350. This cpu pwnz hands down, and I can only imagine what it could do OCed.

AMD is like the titanic, people who have switched to intel are loaded in the life boats, while the amd loyalists who bought 2nd and 3rd class tickets are enjoying the view of the iceberg from the deck.

Not a loyalist of any kind, I'm just cheap. And they work just fine for what I do, which is nothing important. And you Intel guys snuck on the lifeboats with the women and children, cowards, .

Interesting that this conversation would come up yesterday which was 3 years to the day that I purchased my 1055T upgrade parts. 3 years and showing now signs of weakness I see no need to upgrade unless something breaks or a major game title comes along that my 1055T can't handle. I'm not expecting that to happen anytime soon.
