You'll have to purchase a code. Or if the original owner didn't enter the Online Pass, you should be OK. PC, Xbox or PS3?

There should be a link in the game menus to go to the xbox store and purchase some MS points so you can grab the code.
Let us know your gamer tag and we can add you. Having a mega session tonight.
Also, check out the tips thread. Hopefully you'll find it useful

I'm going to find you're miserable camping spot and shoot you in the back of the head. I got two people next to each other last night. Second one didn't even twig his mate was dead next to him.

Noo cutting the throat and nicking the tags scares the shit out of you when you are concentrating on aiming. It's one of the best parts of the game, I absolutely shat myself the fisrt time, it's gruesome innit

Anyone know how many RPG hits it takes to kill a tank?

Ta...I did know the front armour was the thickest, but it's good to know that hitting them from behind is best. Another question whilst I'm at it. Are aircraft damagable by the machine guns on tanks?
I've said it before and understand teh reasons, but it's a shame you can't multi player across platforms, would be ace to have an urban 75 match.

I fucking LOVE leaving mines on the key road ways then racking up a ton of points later in the game as some tank rolls over em!

Do they persist after you die? Never had much joy with claymores, they seem fickl to lay and the few kills I've got with them never show up in battlelog.
Fired two RPG shots on bazaar earlier and got 5 kills! Also just found out about Jihadi Jeeps, not had a chance to try it, but sounds brutal!

All aboard the 303 bus.
Oh what do mines not sit there for the rest of the game anymore?

la la lapland
not sure about mines - but defo changed the claymores - also i think there might be a limit to how many you can lay as a Support - i was re-supplying myself yesterday loads and then checked and some had disappeared !

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I think a certain limit stay while you're alive but they all go once you die. Damn shame I used to love mining the shit out of a map and racking up hundreds upon hundreds of points mid game as every twat rolled over them in tanks or even better apc's!

I am very disappointed with a lot of aspects of this game and the way EA have dumbed it down compared to BF2. It now feels more like an arcade shooter than a battlefield simulator. Squad management is dire, with only four man squads, no squad management options, no voice chat in-game and a limitation of two orders being issued by the squad leader, attack or defend. Commander mode has gone, obsolete now since vehicles have unlimited ammunition and self-repair whilst hiding in a corner, negating the need for a supply drop, an engineer or the need to return to base for supplies and repairs. Unlimited ammo, self-repairing? Fuck off.
(Soldiers also self-heal so a medic is surplus apart from the defibrillator)
The attack chopper's handling is a joke, when yawing on to a target using the rudder, as soon as the rudder is released, the chopper lurches back in the opposite direction, making precision attacks virtually impossible. Compare to the little bird's handling which is virtually spot on and doesn't have the yaw lurch 'feature'.
The maps are claustrophobic and don't feel at all like battlefields, compare with Operation Harvest in BF2 where tank battles could take place over miles of fields, BF3 is urban warfare at best, with most maps having a narrow choke point where gameplay descends into opposing teams shooting at each other down an alleyway with no options to flank or take another route, just a stalemate rpg/grenade spam fest.
The weapon upgrade system is flawed, based on time played in-game and not skill. Want to take out that sniper who is camping a spawn point using an equally high-powered rifle? Tough shit, you haven't played 2,000,000,000 hours of BF3 yet so don't have the super high-powered, 20x scope, extra-steady, armour piercing magazine, aimbot sniper rifle yet, so will have to sneak up and knife him from behind without being spotted.
Try controlling a boat or that remote-controlled repair thing with a keyboard and they will spin 360 degrees within a millisecond's press of a key, rendering them virtually useless. The destructible environment and character animations, jumps etc are very impressive, but this could have been a so much better game if all of the best elements of BF2 were improved upon, not stripped out entirely, leaving unimpressive, unrealistic gameplay tactics and zero team strategy.
Oh, and fuck Origin and Battlelog, the most complicated, unreliable and clunky interface that I have ever experienced when going online to play a game.

jakobi.. fair bit of what you dont like is only present in pussy mode. try hardcore servers. no self repair, no self healing etc. never had an issue with handling of any of the choppers as you describe (i use a gamepad though to fly as i find this easier) and boats .. never seen what you describe in many hours of playing but yeah the mobile repair bot is aahrd to control if you go too fast. Weapon upgrades are based on number of kills not time spent with weapon and at a minimum all sniper rifles have 8 x scopes as standard.
(camping snipers btw are easy fodder for a support guy with a mortar).
the game isnt meant to be a simulator btw (try ARMA for that) but does sit nicely between say Arma and MW3. so not full on arcade game but also not a full on simullator either. Map behaviour depends greatly on the gametype being played and some do have choke points (metro on rush is an obvious example) but most are large and free ranging (try playing conquest mode on say caspian border).
the squad system is still flawed but you can get ingame chat if you are on a server that has it enabled. most places though will use teamspeak or vent for comms though

Just picked it up!
So excited to play!
Oh wait, what's this an update? Ok cool. What's this? Oh okay install something for HD gaming. Cool! Oh...wtf is this? A 2gb multiplayer update......
This is ridiculous
Once you get into though, it's all good. Plus the patch includes the Back to Karkand expansion. Just saw your post on the FIFA thread, have added you on XBLive.
