Battlefield 3 Alpha Test Part 2

juli 30th, 2011. Published under Gaming, Video. No Comments.

So, the Alpha test have been underway for some days now, however theres still a NDA in effect.

However, that does not forbid me to say that its a bit slow progress in the stage of fixing things. The Alpha is suppose to end august 1. and then, afaik, they will take all the input they got and prepare for open beta later this year.

There has been a bunch of small bugfixes, but again, the purpose of this closed Alpha is to test server side things.

Theres a few things suggested thats not currently in the alpha, that are kind of need to have if you ask me. The biggest thing is that there would have to be several gamemode, like casual/normal/hardcore, so it would be a crowd please no where you looked.

Time will tell, till then enjoy this official FPS montage of metro station maps in rush mode. The only map and mode currently in the alpha.

Battlefield 3 Alpha Test

thx to a guy on a danish gamer forum, Im now partaking in the Battlefield 3 Alpha test. Its covered in a nice NDA wrapping, not allowing me to show screenshots or anything from within Battlefield 3 and/or Battlelog, which is the FPS equivilant of Need For Speeds Autolog. It lets you interconnect with you friends, launch the game, matchmaking, stats etc. via the browser.

The NDA can be found here, for thoose who care :)

There not much I can say, but i will say that my frist impression is that considering its an Alpha, its living up to everything i hoped. The “BF-Feel” is still there, i was afraid it would be CODified, but thankfully not. The whole browser intergration … well, I hope its just a Alpha test thing, I would prefer taht you were able to do both (the browser and from in-game).

The Alpha is pushing my rig, a bit .. CPU running around 70ish% and GFX around 90ish % as it is. Its not possible to change any gfx settings in the alpha, but it looks very cool, and runs fine in 1920×1080 on my 27″ monitor.

Got a few more stars added in there :)

So it now has a few more smaller stars to give it a more wave-like look. Originally it was planned to be more of an arc kind of design with starfog, but im happy the way it is :)

Hopefully, next up is my custom sleeve made by DFmurcia.
