I think I am going to switch from PC to PS3 version.
don't really see myself playing on my PC as well as upgrading it to play well

Tried the Beta for the first time last night. It is definitely going to take a little getting used to for sure. Kind of like COD but still different enough I was getting destroyed last night.

I like it, but the map is getting boring. And I love have fire fights in the subway area.
Can't wait to use the tanks and shit

The subway part of the map is the only area I am good at. I get my ass handed to me every time in the park

I hate the glitching in the park too, like when you run into a crater you fall thru the map

I'm pretty good with picking off the snipers in the park with my M16(?) and acog scope 
That or sneaking around the map and flanking the attackers
Especially when they start running into the subway area from the park, love sneaking behind them and shooting them in the back as they run in
I got 8 of them one time

Battlefield 3 offers high resolution texture pack install on PS3 and Xbox 360
Nicholas Michetti, PlayStation Examiner
October 7, 2011
EA and DICE's Battlefield 3 is an amazing looking game, no matter what platform gamers get the chance to play it on, due to the detail packed in Frostbite 2. Console owners, though, will get the option to improve the visuals of their versions of BF3 via a high-resolution texture pack install.
IGN reports DICE's Patrick Liu mentioned Battlefield 3's high-resolution texture pack install to GamerZines, specifically talking about the Xbox 360 version. Liu said that the 360 version has two discs: one disc has multiplayer, co-op, and the high-resolution texture pack install and the other disc has the single player campaign.
IGN checked with EA, who mentioned that the PS3 does also have the high-resolution texture pack install, but on the same Blu-ray disc instead of two.
However, Liu described the Xbox 360 version's install as "voluntary" and an EA representative said that "the PS3 version requires the same install..."
So, whether or not the installation is required on PS3 is unclear at this time, but at least both versions will have the option for the high-resolution texture pack.
If there are any updates, we'll keep you posted.

Yea been playing it, the only problem is that there are a lot of people that are waiting for the jets. Its annoying because Im trying to capture points and no one is helping me. But the map looks really beautiful and runs smooth too.

I've got spurs...
I felt something like that would happen. When Caspian Border servers were password protected, that was not the case. I guess the people who had obtained the password were already familiar with jets or something, because they were free all the time.
Just wait until people start placing C4 on the jets, then it will start getting fun.

I think the demo may have hurt this game. Personally after playing it, and after keeping in mind how much I didn't play BF2, I don't feel any urgency to buy BF3.

The Demo/Beta was to work out bugs and test server capacity ..the final game will be different . I wouldn't make your final decision on the beta game play. They also didn't pick a very good map to use in the Beta. They should of used Caspian border and gave us the big map and a bunch of vehicles, Granted some people on PC were able to play Caspian border but I'm on Xbox . Cant wait to jump in one of those jets

Yea but it's hard to judge a game by just 1 map over and over and over. And you dont even get to use the tanks and jets.

all I'm saying is, if I hadn't played the demo/beta, I would have been more excited about buying this game. now, I just kind of feel like I'll wait and see what people's reactions are to the full game.
