Battlefield 3 EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

[Drunken Monkey]

Improved Squad Functionality
There will be improved squad functionality in the retail game (including but not limited to): the ability to create squads prior to launching into a game, sticking with your squad when joining a game and continuing together through future games (if team balance on the server allows it), inviting friends to a squad, and changing squads once in game.

now that's a touch

nice post and info, have played the alpha and the beta and now can't wait to get into the game proper next week! As with BF:BC2 it's at its most fun when played with a squad of mates using voice comms.
Not that it usually improves our performance but it's good for lulz

currently on 93% on metacritic, all the reviews say the same thing... best online shooter this generation, average singleplayer campaign...

the 2 player co op looks cool though

whats wrong with your pc? I think ive found the problem with mine, but still not 100%, im pretty sure its my vertex 3 though . Need to do a bit more investigating though.

60Gb vertex 2,

To save me re-writing the whole story lol its here

new SSD on its way tomorrow.

Fingers crossed the ssd is the only problem, i read somewhere that vertex 2/3's are pretty unstable. but I dunno if that's true or not.

Thanks for the great write-up Drunken Monkey.

Out of curiosity, is anyone currently playing BF3 on a Vortex II 15/17 with a GTX 485M / 580M?
