After analyzing the data from our first round of closed Caspian Border tests, we have great news for participants in the Battlefield 3 PC Open Beta: the DICE team has decided to bring back Caspian Border for the beta’s final weekend and conduct an open large scale test of the 64 player Caspian Border map.

*****Please keep in mind that as this is beta we will be stress testing our servers***** As such, users may experience crashes, network instability and outages as we roll out and configure servers and network utilities. Understand that such potential issues and the testing environment are not reflective or indicative of the final product and that, through your participation, you will be helping to ensure future stability and functionality.

As we are again specifically testing 64-player server configurations, this test will be for PC only. The Caspian Border servers will be available for all PC players to join. Caspian Border will be available starting Friday, October 7th, in the afternoon (CET).

UPDATE: Some users may see "You were kicked by an administrator" when dropped from the game. This is not accurate (beta!) and relates to being dropped by the server. Thank you for your continued participation in our beta!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be curious to see if the massive and ginormous amounts of lag and slide-showing I get on this system on Metro are changed by a much larger map with more dudes and vehicles in play.

I'm expecting about 2-3 fps.

Guess I have to start tank whoring to keep my 1# tank spot for our platoon.

Can't wait!

They are already up. I can only find 8 servers and they are packed. Hope more are coming soon.

Caspian Border!

Never mind, my filter was on Texas. There are over a hundred servers.

edit: it is IMPOSSIBLE to play. The lag is just crazy. You can't run 2 seconds without rubberbanding. Hope they fix this.

That was a 20fps slideshow.

I will be out of town this weekend.

That was a 20fps slideshow.

It's kindof odd since when they had the passworded servers it was not much different from Rush as far as performance. What would have changed? Inadequate servers for the vehicles?
