They should make the triangle when you spot someone like a tiny dot. There's still an issue where people will get spotted in bushes and you can track them. Kind of lame. You don't actually have to see people in bushes/in the dark. You can just do a test shot or 2 and look for the hit marker.
The glint for the sniper scope is out of control. What's with the hole in the map on metro? It wasn't there in the alpha. The issue with the prone wasn't there in the alpha either.

Good freaking luck. I've been trying to join a caspian server for a while, and as soon as spot is available, its filled before i can even past the password and join. DERP.

Caspian Protip: search for servers with 0 players...they're servers on reboot and enough tries will get you in. I've been playing all afternoon, got IR and AA unlocked on the jets and up to AA radar (not in beta) on the heli.
Speaking of which, heli actually needs a small defense buff, but otherwise is awesome. With a competent gunner it destroys armor
Oh, and good times = squad of AA engies + support feeding ammo at the top of the tower, lol. So much raging.

Now I know why they wanted to keep caspian on limited release. Too many people complaining about bugs and server lag and disconnects. Its a freaking test phase people!
I think most of the server lags and stuttering you see is due to so many people spamming servers trying to login. All I have to do is weight max 10 minutes before a server is rebooted and a fresh one comes up with 0/64 and what not. People who stand on one server spamming it to login are doing it wrong. Just be patient.

I have not heard of this issue on AMD cards. This is just a bug with nvidia drivers. It will be fixed in a newer release.

It's could also be someone blinding you with a flashlight. That effect is immensely overblown.
You can even blind people outside. I even had a sniper across the map turn my whole screen white with the glare.

The holes that cause people to go underground are created by gernades or C4 explosions... aparantly they don't go away when the server changes rounds to switch forces... I know because I created one hole and it never went away later... thats Frostbite 2.0 beta!! LOL distructable environments...

Recent BF3 Server Fixes Update 9-30-2011 1AM PT
Update from the Team #6
By: zh1nt0
Posted: 12 minutes ago
28 Comments
We have distributed a server side update with the following changes:
- Terrain destruction disabled, because it causes problems with people crawling around under the map. We have a proper fix for this in the retail game, but chose to simply disable it for the OB
- Preround is fully activated: 8 players required to transition from preround to in-game; when 8 players are reached, the start-timer is set to 10 seconds
- Fixes for the most common game server crashes reported over the past 48 hours
- Fixes for end-of-round progress reporting to Battlelog (so players will see their progress more detailed on Battlelog)
The Server Providers have been instructed to deploy before Fri Sep 30th, 0800 UTC (when it impacts players the least).
Downtime should be minimal.

I don't see how people can complain that Metro is slow paced, it can be slow if you're in a squad with snipers, but uh, it can also be really fast with you getting into combat/dying again as soon as you spawn back in.
You set the pace essentially, whatever you want to make it.
I would agree, not that Caspian is bad, but I like the pacing and shorter distance to combat in Metro.
It plays really well, especially now with the minor fixes they put out.
If you guys are having problems with crashing servers I found "NFOservers.com" servers are all properly updated and should not crash and not have holes in the ground. I noticed some other providers still haven't patched.
OK So not all nfoservers.com servers are patched.
The one I did find was :
US NFOservers.com DEN #10

Only got on for 30 min but it was fun. Lost some time getting thru the whole Origin mess. Stupid question but how do you go prone? I find myself putting bullets into dead bodies just to make sure. See a few graphics bugs but it is a beta after all. Play is different than BC2 for sure with weapon feels. Glint is cool letting you know you're under scope. Some of the subtle changes does make it a different tactic depending on play style. I will be preordering now.

Metro ran good on my Q9650 & GTX 260. Can somebody tell me where the video settings are located?
