Battlefield Megathread

[Shell]

As many of you know right now consoles, especially the Xbox 360 are having connection issues with the Battlefield 3 open beta. The developers and support staff are moving quickly to fix these issues. Sony's Playstation Network did have maintenance earlier, but those fixes have been integrated. The Xbox live network is still having connection issues, we'll have more updates on the Battlefield 3 open beta as it comes in.

Tomorrow we'll be seeing server updates that will fix some errors that have really been noticed by the community:

- Terrain destruction disabled, because it causes problems with people crawling around under the map. We have a proper fix for this in the retail game, but chose to simply disable it for the OB
- Preround is fully activated: 8 players required to transition from preround to in-game; when 8 players are reached, the start-timer is set to 10 seconds
- Fixes for the most common game server crashes reported over the past 48 hours
- Fixes for end-of-round progress reporting to Battlelog (so players will see their progress more detailed on Battlelog)


The downtime will be minimal and is expected to start at 8:00 UTC (3AM EST). The Battlefield 3 open beta has been a blast so far and this will help to keep it that way.

Am i the only one who's noticed quite a bit of choppiness? Not fps lag, I'm running on ultra @ 60fps. But more so players and objects jumping around the map a little bit, and for example getting killed but your body moves to a spot you were at like 5-10 seconds ago.

yeah

my gun disappears every so often

Morgan of BF3Online snooped around in the Battlelog and BF3 Beta game files and discovered some interesting bits of information: a list of all of the maps in Battlefield 3.  The maps have generic names (for example, Operation Metro is MP_SUBWAY, while Caspian Border is MP_FOREST) but nevertheless this is largely new information!  Following are lists of all the maps in BF3 according to BF3Online‘s findings:

Multiplayer Maps

MP_BAZAAR
MP_HIGHWAY
MP_FOREST (Caspian Border)
MP_PARIS
MP_OILFIELDS
MP_BASEJUMP
MP_SUBWAY (Operation Metro)
MP_Cbrown townS
MP_KHARG
MP_OMAHA
MP_TUTORIAL
Singleplayer Maps

SP_BANK
SP_EARTHQUAKE (Fault Line)
SP_FINALE (2 Part)
SP_JET (2 Part)
SP_NEW_YORK (2 Part)
SP_PARIS
SP_SNIPER
SP_TANK (2 Part) (Thunder Run)
SP_VALLEY  (Operation Guillotine)
SP_VILLA
Cooperative Maps

COOP_A10
COOP_BREACHED
COOP_HOSTAGE
COOP_ROLLINGTHUNDER
COOP_BEHINDENEMYLINES
COOP_SUPERCOBRA
COOP_EXTRACTION
COOP_ASSASSINATION
COOP_EXFILTRATION
COOP_SUBWAY
Also discovered were a list of weapons exclusive to the Back to Karkand expansion pack:

XP1_FAMAS
XP1_HK53
XP1_PP19
XP1_QBZ95B
XP1_L85A2
XP1_QBB95
XP1_MG36
XP1_JACKHAMMER
XP1_TYPE88
XP1_L96
Remember, this stuff isn’t official, it’s from the game files, so there might be changes (MP_TUTORIAL might be a test map for example that we won’t see in the final release… but it could also be a sandbox / tutorial map where players can practice flying, driving, etc).  Thanks BF3Online for the great find.

refuses to install for me, something about sp1 or something, idunno.

this is annoying. I want to play the god damn beta

I left for like 3 hours and it's still not fixed

[Marcem]

Blech.  This is really just MoH2.  It's incredibly generic of a shooter, and I don't imagine that vehicles will really fix it.  People can't work together for stuff, or even tag people.  The only thing going for it is graphics.
