@Admiral1428 I couldn't be sure about the length/width, I'm terrible at scaling maps like this. That's good info though, and if I get access again (before Beta ends) I'll do some testing.
@Bhabelus My guess is that the outlying areas will be removed. There is a lot of distance between team deployment and the first flag. At least 3 of the flags are clumped up right in the middle though. Whatever the case I'm also interested to see how they work it out.
Hope it will work... I loved Bad Compagny 2 and the Beta (when it works) is great... This game will be awesome...
PS: I've never seen the defenders win on the last base of operation metro in all the 30 rounds i've played... Has anyone succesfully defended it on pc (i'm on xbox)?
@Bhabelus I was on a random team that defended it against DCRU members. 1 crate left and my team (defenders) won. I was going to upload it but it was a 30 mins game.. yikes.
Too bad, i'll really like to see it :D Maybe you could just upload the last base?
Do you think it's hard to defend this base?
Also, on the first set of objectives, i think that it's way harder for the attackers if they destroy alpha first . It's worst if the defenders have more than 2 recons...

@Bhabelus I play on xbox, I have successfully defended the last base at least 6 times, if the team ever made it there. Run through the buildings with an 870 shotgun with flechete ammo.
u gotta be fucking shitting me everyone shitted on modern warfare to for tact insertions and your here praising that radio box which is the same fucking thing..
@0ShredUrFace0 I've never shit on COD or the Tact Insert. I happen to enjoy COD for what it's worth. Please don't lump me in with a group of people that hate this or that - I enjoy a wide variety of games and won't pretend to hate another community or their game just because it's the cool thing to do.
Really awesome you had 4 DCRU + TyWebb & Vanished001 [arguably one of my personal forerunners as someone I'd like to see join DCRU next]. I guess joining friends isn't completely broken which is good for you PC players. Good game and this really looks exciting.
@slapdaddy1234 Yes, but the motion sensors are really toned down from BC2. They just make a beep sound when someone is moving through it's radius. I don't think it shows where they are on the mini map and it's got limited range.
@allansouri only chosen ones can play caspian border... for real... DiCE doesn't let every player play caspian border, some people get invited by them!
@DevlinDarkness I've crashed a jet in to it twice (LOL) and it hasn't gone down. Although I did think I was imagining it but I thought I saw it lean a little to the side during one round. DICE has said that some destruction still isn't turned on for Beta, so maybe that's one of them.
@st0nes0n it might be a little different than BC2 and it might look alot like MoH, but trust me on this one>>>it is the BEST fps game to hit the planet!
@st0nes0n It does resemble MOH, but it feels and plays just like BF or BC2. When I first saw the Beta footage I thought the same about how it looks like MOH. That's really where the similarities end.
hehe. put the radio beacon right by an mcom after arming it then cover the objective... if you die just come back and do the same thing.. i did it about 5 times then finally took the objective :D
As always, great video Aethyal. I'm not even listening with my headphones, and the jets sound SPOT ON. I live pretty close to the Air Force Base and I hear jets pretty often, the sound of them really impressed me.
Not so sure about the mobile spawn point, eh. But hey, it's BF3, I can't wait to play!
i'm glad they put the stinger. it used to suck when the typical rank-50 basterd hovered over the base in rush in circles bieng completely inmune to anything you could do - sometimes even had smoke to eliminate tracert darts. now it's gonna be different
Should I buy 2 6970's or 2 GTX 570's for Battlefield 3? Wouldn't the extra VRAM on the 6970's help, and isn't the 6970 equivalent or better in some cases than the 570? I'd be playing @ 1080P ultra settings.
Grrr... I don't like that radio beacon... it is basically a tactical insertion.
If it worked as a parachute spawn instead of a spawn on the ground, I would actually like it, but the fact that there is no penalty for spawning in a dark corner is absolutely stupid.
@ArcticSquirrel44 i dont see whats wrong with it. Defenders always had the advantage in bc2 and especially in bf3 alpha. This helps even the playing field and gives attackers a chance
based on your description, seems like it gives you the opportunity to choose your path. you could go infantry and protect the infantry oriented flags or go with vehicles and try and rule the air/land. it just gives your more options and what probably is a great experience.
I have a 6870 too and am only able to get 60 + fps when I play on medium. What are your other specs? What resolution do you play at? I have a i5 2500k and 6870. I want to be able to play on high/ultra! lol
@shawnonjkl I play at 1080p and everything is on high or ultra. If you haven't yet, try the 11.10 ATI hot fix drivers. They fixed a lot of problems I had during my first few hours of playing.
Aethyal, thank you very much for your thorough thoughts on the map and the awesome gameplay.
One quick question: What drivers are you running? I have two 6870's in Crossfire with CAP 4 drivers and I can't get more than 35-40 frames on Metro with auto settings, WITHOUT recording. You must work some magic or I am having a ridiculous issue.
@ringo45 I'm not sure how optimized the beta is for Crossfire. You could try with one card off. A good CPU (Quad core) is a huge bonus also. I'm using the 11.8 drivers with the 11.10 hotfix for BF3 Beta.
@aethyal I'll definitely look into this, thank you. I was concerned it was Crossfire at fault. I have a 2.8 GHZ Quad Core so not the greatest but it definitely wasn't the frame rate I expected. On to tweaking settings!
Great game, great commentary, grea-*jizz*. DO WANT! This looks simply fantastic. It looks like it will be everything I was hoping it would be and more. Thanks for the inside look :)
i think that they used operation metro as an attraction to call of duty players due to its close quarters combat (*cough*wingsofredemption*cough). They will probably be turned off by these big ass maps and will not buy the game. What do you think?
@tearitup100 I don't really have a solid opinion about why they chose Operation Metro, but I do think the big maps will discourage players with a more run and gun style.
is it just me or does it seem that there is not too much action with 64 players. Sure, there is a steady flow of action, but it doesn't seem like a total clusterfuck
This map is a much better representation of battlefield 3 than operation metro. However, I can see why they chose OM over caspian border for the beta-it saves the best (or one of the best) map for the actual game.
@nofearRC1 I don't think Caspian Border is the biggest map. I think it's just above Medium but BF3 standards. I think the Karkand maps will really be epic.
im not seeing the destructibility much, or i must have looked away for a bit. oh wait 10:24 there we go, been waiting to see some of this the whole time!
@grandmasterhack Unfortunately I was defending a flag with only 3 things that were destructible. I will post some game play of either Checkpoint or Gas Station. Both have tons of crap to blow up, especially Gas Station when the pumps explode. It's pretty amazing to see.
@d0n7bl1nk 60-75 FPS on all High settings while recording on this map. I'm just as surprised but really think the 11.10 ATI drivers helped fix so many of the problems I had during the first few hours.
Thanks for the video, as I play on the Xbox, I can only play Operation Metro and I wish they would've picked a map with vehicles, give it a more Battlefield feel to it. What are your thoughts?
@p40pilotJT Operation Metro had a vehicle on the first base during Alpha but it was removed, which is odd. I know you aren't the only one with this thought, I've heard it a few times today.
@aethyal good i dont want to reach the time limit every time. PS, i cant play beta anymore because on xbox i played for the first 6 hours of the open beta, and then with all the downloads of it i now have not been able to connect since 3:30 eastern, and am REALLY mad that i waited soooo long to not connect. what should i do?
awesome stuff. the metro map is already getting repetitive and it has no vehicles. its cool to see how conquest plays along with the vehicles. now we are finally getting a taste of what the full bf3 experience will be like. keep up the great bf3 vids. lookin forward to more vehicle play. thanx and good luck.
i find that stupid that only certain people get to play it and its only on pc cause how are we supposed to know how tanks and shit work on console if they took the tank off of metro. and befor people spam me with stupid comments about me playing on console i play pc too and i will be downloading the beta tomorrow
@GanjaShogunRelease That was the radio beacon (mobile spawn) that I was talking about. You and your squad can choose to spawn wherever you drop it, as long as it's not destroyed by the enemy.
@TheElkSeason They work a little differently but are basically the same. The only MAJOR difference is that you have to open the parachute higher in the air or you won't slow down enough and you'll take damage or die.
@Sarxasm This video doesn't even show 1/4 of the map. There are four other flags that I never get near, plus the fields for tank fights, and both spawn points.
I hate it when a vehicle spawns, a guy gets in and there are like 50 people running to him to be gunner or a passenger and he just leaves the second he gets in.

@aethyal IKR, how do you make driving so good when you are developing a gunplay-based game. DICE you wielders of witchcraft.

@aethyal can run with my phenom x6, 450 gts superclocked and 8 gb ddr3? in medium graphics 1920 x 1080
yeisonsystem323 5 months ago
@yeisonsystem323 You might need to drop to 1600x900 but I think you'll be fine. The game is optimized REALLY well.

@aethyal good i dont want to reach the time limit every time. PS, i cant play beta anymore because on xbox i played for the first 6 hours of the open beta, and then with all the downloads of it i now have not been able to connect since 3:30 eastern, and am REALLY mad that i waited soooo long to not connect. what should i do?
kennydaturtl 5 months ago
Bigger than ARMA size!? o.O
KrazycookiesHD 5 months ago
@KrazycookiesHD I never played ArmA so I was comparing the map to games I've experienced. I hear ArmA maps are big though.

awesome stuff. the metro map is already getting repetitive and it has no vehicles. its cool to see how conquest plays along with the vehicles. now we are finally getting a taste of what the full bf3 experience will be like. keep up the great bf3 vids. lookin forward to more vehicle play. thanx and good luck.

I hope they release Caspian Border for the open beta for all platforms, but they probably wont. I really don't want to play Metro. Oh, well, I guess.

i find that stupid that only certain people get to play it and its only on pc cause how are we supposed to know how tanks and shit work on console if they took the tank off of metro. and befor people spam me with stupid comments about me playing on console i play pc too and i will be downloading the beta tomorrow

@aethyal what was that thing you dropped at 2:34? i am very curious
GanjaShogunRelease 5 months ago
@GanjaShogunRelease It's a radio transmitter, mobile spawnpoint.
TomCole27 5 months ago
@GanjaShogunRelease That was the radio beacon (mobile spawn) that I was talking about. You and your squad can choose to spawn wherever you drop it, as long as it's not destroyed by the enemy.

@Antimonkey125 Recon is one of the most useful UP FRONT kits in Rush. None of that quick scoping or prone camping crap. DICE wins the internet.

Is there still parachutes like in BC2?
TheElkSeason 5 months ago
@TheElkSeason They work a little differently but are basically the same. The only MAJOR difference is that you have to open the parachute higher in the air or you won't slow down enough and you'll take damage or die.

@Sarxasm This video doesn't even show 1/4 of the map. There are four other flags that I never get near, plus the fields for tank fights, and both spawn points.
