Usually when re-labeling inputs to PC it disables most post processing, which mean less latency.
FYI to anyone with a Panasonic, most can have overscan disabled by changing the picture setting "HD Size" to 2.

I don't know how. You had only one grenade in vanilla. And even if you still have only one grenade in Vietnam, everyone play assault (or recon) and spam it because it's uberpowerful and deadly. Fuck this shit, the worst add-on ever.

I honestly never had any problems with grenade spam in Vietnam, or any kind of abuse, really. I just stopped playing it because it got boring after a while.

I thoroughly enjoyed Vietnam, hell i prefer it to Vanilla.

Regarding the resolution/scaling issue. Such tiny differences are sometimes blown out of proportions. Sure I would want to have minimum scaling (=0) steps and the (reasonable) highest resolution possible, but let's have a little talk about TVs:
Who here has a native 720p HDTV?
ah, I see many hands raising, but you might want to put that hand down.
It's very, very likely your 720p HDTV has a display resolution of 1376x768. That means all your native 1280x720p games will be scaled - no matter what.
It's only more convenient for 1080p HDTVs because 720p upscales nicely to 1080p (1.5 ratio). Though even in that case overscan (= ca. 5% of the picture cropped&zoomed in) would still have a higher impact unless your TV can disable it (e.g. mine only allows that for actual 1080p input, curses!).
I'm glad it has AA though.

Who all thinks PC should be in beta right now?
PC should go first and then add in consoles closer to release.
Its only fair.

Not that I'm defending his point, but the easy argument is to say that PCs have for more variable configurations than consoles.dope4goldrope said:

It's not really a beta, it's way too close to release. It's simply a fancy way to say pre-launch timed demo.

They'll use the feedback to make some changes that will go on the disc and save the rest for a day one patch.

You're right, there are far more variable configurations. But that doesn't make it fair when they can release all 3 at the same time. I'm 99.999999999999999% sure the beta builds are ready and they're just holding onto it because some marketing wiz (aka smug douche) thinks it's best.anachronous_one said:
The BC2 demo ended what, one week prior to launch and lasted about 3 weeks? BF3 releases October 25th, call the beta ending October 18th at the latest for the hell of speculation. I honestly don't expect the beta to start until the last week of September.

Why are you so spun up on the 360 being superior despite no evidence suggesting so? This makes less sense in context when you say you're not getting either console version.
lol @ the people making it seem like 704 vertical resolution is bad. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
Fear 3 was the first game to use fully deferred shading on the 360 and it's full 720p. Just FYI.
Actually, I believe all 3 versions use tile based deferred shading, at least according to their 2010 SIGGRAPH presentation. The work is just being done in different areas. I tried finding where I downloaded the slides and had no luck, but here's a screenshot of the title followed by the SPU shading a slides down:

I could be off though.
I highly doubt the 360 version will turn out better. If anything both versions may turn out almost exactly the same with each version having a slight advantage in different areas. That seems to be the standard now a days AFAICS.

Yeah, having AA will already make this an improvement over Bad Company 2. And BC2's not a bad looking game on consoles at all. If they pull off a solid framerate at 704p then that's great. It's disappointing when some devs lower the resolution yet the game still struggles with framerate.RoboPlato said:
I never played Resistance 2 but played 1, and that ran great. Bad Company 2's framerate could get a little rough in some spots in MP.

I play alot BC2 on Xbox 360 and as long BF3 will look better than BC2 on Xbox 360 I am really happy, because I still think BC 2 looks really great=)

I want to see more MP maps. Two out of Nine (not counting Karkand map pack) revealed is such a cocktease.

you're in luck, because Karl-Magnus Troedsson revealed at gamescom that there are more urban environments in BF3.
I have spammed demize99 about this, but he never answers, so we might not be in luck. However he did confirm night maps.

The screens look pretty cool! I thought some of the textures look off for some reason, though. But still impressive :]
