because it's a fucking half-assed console port, and consoles don't have mice.

i've been unsuccessfully trying to set up some keys for about an hour now. my next step is to create bf3 profiles for my kb and mouse to compensate for this pile of crap. at least i can work in a menu without being killed/kicked/disco'd.

how much would i pay for this? $0.

They've said on multiple occasions that their lead platform is PC, for what it's worth.

Has anyone mentioned how good the sound is for this game? I know, often overlooked, but hot damn! I don't play other games really, so I don't know what they are like, but I am really impressed. I cannot imagine what it would be like with a real 5.1 setup, I think it would be a real advantage.

i'm trying "hi-fi" and "home theater" in the audio settings, and i'm not sure there's a difference. the game output is getting dolby digital live encoded and plugged into my receiver. i'm getting a good sense of left and right, but still no front and back.

has anyone's download bar been stuck at 100%?

I go to the folder location and it's 3.9GB and no longer downloading anything additional, but Origin has BF3 beta stuck at 100% and still downloading something when mousing over the download bar.

Whatever bump I was feeling with Metro passed. I'm back to having full-time fun with it and really enjoying the little weapon bumps that come along.

Just got an IR scope for my M249... and it's pretty rad.

Hard to believe. Every tester they have internally and everyone in the alpha just uses default config? I guess I should just be grateful I can at least invert my mouse?

I haven't played a ton yet but yeah it's good. So far I think Bad Company 2's sounds are much better; some of the best sound, and ultimately atmosphere, I've ever heard in a game.

But I'm pretty sure BF3 uses the same (or a more advanced even) sound engine as BC2, I just haven't gotten into any good firefights yet.

Don't be so ignorant.

You can change almost any button mapping you want. Except for what is bound to the mouse already. I cannot change zoom to any button I want. I put jump on mouse 2 like I want, but zoom will not work with any other button.

And I keep getting dc'd mid match. I think I have completed 3 or 4 rounds total and have tried to play 50... As much as I like the game, this is stupid.

I can't get my control buttons to bind. very weak.

Ahh yea I finally found the filters. Is there no way to que up a server so you can automatically join when it has a free slot? Every single server is filled.

My best luck has been picking one with good ping and just spamming it. You get dropped from the Caspian servers all the time, so its pretty easy to jump in when someone falls out.

The more bothersome part is getting disconnected after 15 to 20 minutes of playing.

FWIW I seem to be having much better luck avoiding those by just using 'Quick Match'. Its not perfect but I was 5 for 5 in getting DC through the server browser and only got dropped 1 in 3 quick matches tonight

Having actually been able to stay in a server for a while I am starting to like the game more. It takes some getting used to but you can slightly see people moving through the shrubs once you know what to look for. Same thing with the helmets. If you see one hit Q and 'spot' them - that way if they move slightly you still know where to aim

Any one figure out how to not deploy the bipod when zooming? I've gotten killed (even though I spot them first) because I am busy deploying my bipod while they zoom in on me and kill me

I have tried everything I can think of to gey key bindings to change, but nothing works. Really hate that crouch is unassigned by default, and I'd like to get several of my unassigned mouse buttons to do something useful.

Other than that, the game is fun, aside from spawn campers.

Oh - and I got in Caspian Border for one match then it DC'd. Was laggy as hell, but my framerates werent too bad.

The tiny bit I played felt much more like BF than Rush mode on Metro, which feels way too much like CoD.

One positive is that more players are figuring outt he rush objectives, so it's getting a tad more tactical and less solo spray and pray or campfest.

Finally got a few rounds in. Had a little trouble with the mouse floating at first, but I think I got that fixed. I'm impressed that the engine can run at pretty high levels with solid fps on my HD5850. I had it on auto, and it was definitely not maxed out, but most options were on high, with about 45fps avg. Good enough for now...at least until HD7000 appears...

As for feel, I'd say it's definitely a different feel than anything I've played before. I guess others have described it as having weight. I get that...your motions actually take time to make, like proning, pulling out the bipod, etc. Means you have to think about what your next move will be, because it will probably take you a couple seconds. Pretty cool...but I wasn't so hot in my first rounds, that's for sure!

it is very satisfying to struggle mightily and then be rewarded with a solid performance.

Huh, left control is crouch or 'x' for toggle.
