gamespot live stream. ps3 version

 

[CrystalBay]

PS3 looks pretty fluid..:thumbsup:

 

[SLU Aequitas]

My first reaction was "PS3...blah", but I'm actually pretty impressed

This stream event is a disaster. Both teams are horrible and look like they never played a battlefield game before, not to mention the horrible commentators and technical difficulties...

 

[Termie]

The live stream is pretty funny. They're making it into a sporting event, with the winners giving victory speeches...just as silly as hearing how so-and-so scored the winning touchdown (sorry to any football fans out there, ahem, gully, ahem).

Are these guys supposed to be pros or something? It seems like half of them have no idea what they are doing. If only FF was on.

Some of them are running around with ultra low sensitivity too, it takes them like 5 seconds to turn around.

so many baddies playing

Nothing wrong with low sens. Better for long distance aiming. If you look at the on screen prompts though it's the console version right now, so aiming is probably going to be a little slower than mouse.

It seems weapon quick switching is in the beta...:biggrin:

It's funny watching him pile bodies when people trying to disarm the Mcoms

Edit: Actually, since it's the console version the gameplay isn't bad. I think there's usually more suicide rushes in console matches.

Those guys he's playing against have no idea how to use the radar. You can tell he actually is using his if you look at the red dots. That one mcom at a in metro stage one was just terrible for the other team. No one's cover at all. You see 2 guys die in front of you and you don't look around?

Working link for AMD's BF3 beta driver. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3WWCL7UO

Have installed it and verified that it's the driver referred to by AMD's page.

people are clueless on how to play nowadays and just tunnel vision play games without thinking

 

[(sic)Klown12]

thanks!

No problem. Just trying to make sure that everyone knows about it so we don't have a bunch of complaining with the beta performance only to find out they're using old drivers not optimized.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Hmmm... how do I know these installed correctly? GPU-Z still shows 11.7 and after the 11.10s finished installing it prompted me to upgrade from 11.7 to 11.8. Also, does anyone know if these are a 11.8 -> BF3 compatibility hotfix or if they include 11.9 updates?

 

[(sic)Klown12]

Post an image of the hardware information screen in CCC. I'll compare it to mine. And as far as I know, this driver is the 11.9 plus some fixes for BF3.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Actually I take that back, it says 11.7 in Catalyst as well. I wonder why it didn't update.

 

[Jschmuck2]

Still waiting on that pre-order key...

 

[skipsneeky2]

Got my 285.38 and ready to do with no problems to report actually a desktop glitch i had with 285.26 and google chrome went away.

I'm guessing the beta download for the west coast is 5am and servers will be open at about noon west coast time and respected times for the other time zones?

Appears we have different time rumours flying around and no beta key yet...

 

[GoodRevrnd]

God forbid they let us preload, right?

 

[Jschmuck2]

I just don't know if I can be trusted with that kind of responsibility.

Hi everyone, we're aware of the download issue with Catalyst 11.10 preview, our team is looking into it.

luckily amd is working out their kink

its not the first time they forgot to change the driver version display in a release
