If you are familiar with this game mode from Battlefield: Bad Company 2, you might want to know we are refining it for Battlefield 3 in a number of ways, based on player feedback. Some of the gameplay tweaks we are bringing to Rush are:
* You cannot use explosives or shoot at the M-COM to take it out. Only arm and disarm.
* If the attacking team arms the M-COM but runs out of tickets, the match will continue until the M-COM detonates or defenders disarm it
* If the defenders start disarming an M-COM just before it’s about to blow, the explosion is prevented until the disarm is accomplished. If the defender gets killed during the disarm process, the M-COM will instantly blow

Some nice common sense additions.


Not a fan of vehicles? No problem -- just click the “Infantry Only” box in your server browser when searching for a server game where no attack vehicles will spawn in, only transports. This is a great way to get a feel for the game or the map before you go all-out warfare.

Finally an infantry only mode i can get used to.

the key only gets you 48-hours of early access to the beta too - from Thursday it's an open beta (but i'm still giving it a miss and waiting for the full game)

Also the [strike]"open-beta"[/strike] Demo, is pretty much exactly the same as the alpha and the version that was at i43.

They haven't added much to it, and doesn't really represent the final game (due to the fact that most of the graphics have been neutered o_O) Things like the command-rose aren't in and most of the options aren't either.

If BF3 (not sure) is / was going to have a game launcher/ menu then that's missing too. This is still getting you to launch the game via your browser which means any GFX changes you want to do, have to be done while you're alive... Get shot while you're changing GFX settings and you have to start again :|

Battlefield 3 is immensely fun... I actually want its children.

Its running on High settings as Ultra is buggy on a AMD HD5850 (nothing special) I keep around 68FPS and dips towards 52 in tank battles

The THN opt out bandwagon isn't quite close to bursting, but it's certainly fuller than one would expect.

Yeah seen this one before. Everyone will be along shortly. Some will stay strong but if it's not a completely awful game the majority will have bought it before long.

Having said that the beta for some reason would load on my machine, so I'm going to wait for the full game to appear.

Anyone who is going to the i44 will probably regret not having it beforehand. :)

I preordered from Zavvi, £27 (had a 10% discount code).

Indeed, gamers don't really seem to understand the concept of a boycott...

Hey Hey Hey!

Seen you guys have a platoon on BF3! Thought I'd give a wee hello. Fancy playing with some of the old guys. I've send an invite to join the platoon. Hope to see you guys online :D
