Battlefield 3

Got snagged by a claymore for the first time tonight, actually surprised it's taken nearly a month before that happened!
 
I love this game but fuck me using Origin is a horrible experience. They even managed to fuck up something simple like updating a game
 
It's great, they lie about entrance requirements else the lastest alienware rig wouldn't run it.

It not a bad engine, runs very well, mess abotu with HBSO filltering if you have probs.

When do the limited edition maps come out?
 
Big patch for the xbox, over a 150mbs...hopefully this will sort the squad stuff and get rid of that stupid amount of glare tac lights have in broad daylight.
 
Reading the official patch notes thread on Battlelog, it says that the patch is for PC only.

So either the patch we downloaded is not "active" yet due to certification or it was for something else. Cannot see what though.
 
Yeah saw them too...odd must be not certified then...

On a related note I'm finding I'm getting increasingly annoyed with the sheer stupidity of strangers in squads; people don't spot, or return fire, or fucking support! What is it with these idiots don't they know this ain't CoD!!

I know. I was following some idiot round for a couple of minutes, firing at his feet to let him know I wanted ammo. The "request ammo" sound rarely works.

They should have included a mandatory tutorial before you play online. Even BF2 had that voice-over the first time you used something in the game.

Yeah and the number fuckers that jump in a jeep, see me running toward them and just drive off..! DICE do need to sort the audio for requests ASAP.

A short tutorial might actually be worthwhile, too many CoD style lone wolves on the game ime...

Yeah its delayed on consoles while it goes through certification at the moment. Agreed with the audio communication, I REALLY miss being able to beep the horn on jeeps to get someones attention.
 
Just seen that most of the problems with tac lights/squads will be fixed in the next patch that's already being worked on.

Expect to see that around post Karkand release I imagine.
 
If its anything like the PC patch

tac lights are not as much a PITA as they were but are still annoying
IR range is reduced
squad stuff is better

Amount of bullets I've wasted firing at jeeps and tanks that fuck off without stopping. Grrrrrr!

I put down a number of claymores tonight, got four kills and none of them have registered on Battle Log :confused:

Not the first time it's happened.

Anyone else had this?
 
Altogether now... THAT IS BECAUSE BATTLELOG IS A BIG PILE OF SHIT!

As more and more people buy the game the slower it is going to get too. I can't imagine EA investing the kind of backend needed to keep it as instant as Facebook. I just worry it'll get as slow as BF Stats used to be, where it would take upto 48 hours for your stats to be added to the database. :(

But you do know if you exit the game before the end you lose your ribbons and points? You have to wait until it saves at the end of the round. That's where it synchs with the Battlelog cloud. Which looks a lot like a turd.

Really? It was stated by the devs that every time you died you stats were saved. You only lost points/ribbons etc if the server crashed.
