bonoscot · Post by **bonoscot** » 27 Jul 2011, 19:11

Hey guys i got a code for the alpha build today,i have managed to play a few games and eyefinity works straight out the box :)

I cant change settings etc,looks like great level of detail,i was getting 23-30 FPS via FRAPS on this game.

BTW game is amazing just from alpha build :)

Although little disorientating with head bob :(

BTW im using a 6970 ati

Expected, but still good to hear. Considering the release isn't; for another 2-3 months, it's shaping up pretty nicely.

What's your CPU?

Game crashed as expected? I hope to God it has nothing to do with eyefinity. Its prolly just bugs in being an Alpha.

For the game to crash in Eyefinity, I am kinda expecting that as an engine bug. This issue has plagued Bad Company 2 since it came out and still has yet to be resolved. The known work-around was to lower just about every graphic details to low and play it like that.

Well, even though they have it working, I hope they'll have Eyefinity thoroughly tested rather than just being supported to work on it. They need to make sure that QA spends 2-3 hours on a loaded server just to make sure everything works, including Eyefinity.

I'm totally disappoint so far with how they are handling the "alpha" testing. It seems more like an open beta to me from all the people getting access. So much for NDAs and true alpha testing games. ;)

Just like I predicted all along this game only runs at 20 - 30 fps which is nowhere near competatively playible in eyefinity.
And that's on a decent dual gpu system. Ill stick with mw3.

Where did my posts go? :(

There was a site issue sometime in the last 24 hrs. Some of my posts vanished as well. It has been reported and is being investigated right now. So far my post attempts today have all been successful, so I think it was temporary. Still waiting for more information.

It's good to see you can play for more than 10 minutes without crashing but they still have some kinks to work out. Compare the screenshot above to a normal one and you'll notice the mini map, HP, and Ammo counts are all missing. There's also some texture's missing on the first stage of Metro.

I really don't see what's the big deal with BF3. It was supposed to have uber destruction but they nerfed it back to be worse than BC2, once they got all the fanboys to preorder it after seeing the promo videos, now all the fanboys are screwed paid $60 for a PoS.

I'd like to mention that the BF3 alpha is under NDA and that posting information and screenshots of it are not allowed.

So you have you played the alpha then?

What I dont get is why people have to bash BF3, especially with a name like MW2. If I preorder then Im a fanboy? And no destruction means its a POS? COD has ZERO destruction, what does that make it?

BF is my favorite series, every since 1942 with the Desert Combat mod (oh eyefinity where were u then?) . At the same time I also love Call of Duty, theres just no need for me to go bashing the games just because someone else likes it. There are times where I feel like picking up COD for a quick 30 mins of mutliplayer and then there are times when I want some squad based action with some destruction and vehicles so I go to my PC and launch BF.

The Alpha is amazing BTW, especially with eyefinity. You do have to go prone a lot because usually sticking your head up means getting it blown clean off. BC2 used to have the best sound in a video game, that is till I played BF3, the variations of gun sounds with the pings!, zooms! and richochet sounds as they whiz by are simply amazing. I did have to change settings from high to medium because my 5870 couldnt handle it :(

Naturally that means Im in the market for a new video card :D

*Has both MW3 and BF3 on pre-order and would absolutely love it if I MW3 had poor or no multi-monitor support so I can create a side by side video showing why DICE are better developers then Infinity Ward*

Not that MW / CoD are bad games but people need to learn that CoD and MW are not the be all and end all of first person shooters, and that opinion stands whether Infinity Ward give proper multi-monitor support or not.

Hear, hear! Leave the trash talking to politicians and support the developers and games you like with your money.
