From what I'm reading so far, the graphical options were broken for the user. IE: every setting defaults to low, could be fixed in a driver update for the video card, not yet confirmed.

Even tho. the models look really blurry/low detail I think the DX10/11 is showing it's strenght and makes it look kinda good. Glad they made that decision and really sounds promising when they say they will optimize it to run smoothly.

Good for low settings? Everything past 10 feet looks like it fits the description of "low" to me.

Why are we praising the "low" graphics setting anyway?

I think that one look's really nice even for low settings. Reminds me of Crysis 2 on medium/high settings, but then again the other screens don't look that good.

I'm only excited of those low screens because it seems you can really downscale the settings while still looking relatively good.

BF3 alpha players seem to be incredibly bad at not breaching the NDA. There are tons of videos on youtube. They get removed pretty fast though.

Weapon sounds are excellent.

Maybe the guy was playing with a high ping but those kills were registering much later after he fired.

Just hope the rubbish net code from BC2 is not ported over.

Wow. I guess since its still frostbite we should expect a lot of similarities to BC2 but it is disheartening to see the knifing still in, the way that it is, and seeing the HUD and that theres still Rush mode and that little bell that rings after you get a kill...the little things that made BC2 what it was. But I don't want BC3 I want something new :/

Yep this definitely has a distinct BC2 look to it so far -- the weapon handling, HuD messages, kill sounds, hitboxes, everything. At least the recoil (even though it seems very low for that AK47) doesn't look quite as silly.

That's an AK-74M.

IF that is low graphics setting, it look's pretty good, if not, DICE managed to troll us all pretty good. I'd imagine the console versions will look similiar to that.

Just typed "BF3 multiplayer gameplay footage" on youtube, sorted it by upload date, and found this, and a couple more. Even thou the video quality is ****e, you can see that atleast in large outdoor enviroments the game looks impressive.
