BF3 does a few things better than BC2:
- No circle-strafing choppers
- No one hit kills to the body from bolt-actions (i.e. quick-scoping)
- No ridiculous knife lunge from the front
- Server browser
- Squad menus
- Team chat

And no UAV. I like the MAV: it is a support gadget, not a killing machine.
Another thing, that could be good or bad: The Humvee is not a wheeled coffin anymore.
Ah, and gravity for all bullets. I remember I aimed with the scope right to the head from far away, change to magnum without moving the aim, shot, guranteed headshot.
But I miss russian voices and orders :-(

So the PS3 BF3 server I rent has stopped working. All of the server admin lists, VIP lists, and banned lists display as being empty despite having people on them. The custom map rotations have all disappeared so that we can only see the DICE ones, and if we try to add a new one it tells us we're already at the maximum. All of the server description fields are blank, and if you save anything in them they just go blank again. This began 5 days ago and our case number with EA was created but hasn't been updated since.
What should my next course of action be? EA don't seem to want to do anything about it, and why should they when we've paid them in advance for this server rental? Should I contact Sony and ask for a refund on the PSN purchase? Or is there some other way to get EA's fucking attention?

Yes, I started to play after MAV killing patch. And after MAV roflcopter patch.
I liked the idea of the UAV as a tracker and as rocket designator... it had some logic... but endless bullets, C4 exploit, highly resistant (it was fragile, but actually it should be destroyed with one bullet of any type) and most of time the pilot out of reach from defenders... raaage!!!
Nice! I can't snipe at all because of the stupid input lag.
Glow how is the patch and new maps?
How is the patch? Is the input lag really fixed?

Here's 1 thing BF3 does more shitty
THE FUCKING PARACHUTE
Well I just finished some games on team death match and the input lag is fixed for me. I tried a round with aim assist off and the controls felt great. It's gonna take time for me to adjust to no aim assist as I'm having trouble killing people within 5-15 meters. I'm gonna have to work on my hip firing. Anyone have tips for no aim assist?

Is the update live for all or just PS3?

So here's my take on the input lag/controls (taking into consideration my long hiatus) after the update: they finally fixed it. To me it feels very close to BC2 now. As long as you have AA disabled. Turn on AA and they get gross again.
Seems like the weird acceleration issue I've had with the controls is gone. Whether it was input lag causing it, or whatever, it's gone with AA off. I am very pleased.

I agree completely! I now can play with aim assist off and perform close to what I was doing before hand. Probably gonna take me a month to adjust and get better though. Are you gonna finally come back and play with GAF?

Yes.
In BF3 I became fixated on piloting because the infantry combat never felt right for me. It never really clicked. I always struggled with the control lag or whatever it was. But piloting in BF3 is incredibly frustrating with all the laser targeting. So I just stopped playing.
But now I can primarily play an infantry role with occasional piloting and actually enjoy the game. It feels really good. It feels like how I originally thought BF3 would feel after the stellar BC2.
Right now I'm trying to dial in a good sensitivity, but I'm incredibly impressed with the update. They finally fixed it. Yeah BF3 has a whole laundry list of stuff that is annoying, but they fixed the controls (the core issue) and now I can see myself enjoying the game.
And this gives me renewed hope for the next Bad Company game.

This is a sign, its an omen. I can't believe it. I bought BF3 (ps3) way back but then quit cause I couldnt deal with the weird ass laggy controls. Probably my biggest let down of that year because of how hyped I was after being a massive fan of BC2.
I picked up the premium edition on black friday for $25 at best buy and figure "Shit, I want to like this so bad, I'll give it another shot and try to adjust." I just got home yesterday, havent played it yet. Today, I fire up gaf... this is the top thread. I open it up just to have a looksie and you guys are telling me they just fixed the input lag. SWEET BABY JESUS. I believe in miracles.

You still have to keep AA disabled... and there's always the possibility your lag was caused by some other factor (like your television set) but yeah for me the controls are finally fixed.
It's most noticeable on lower sensitivities, but even when you crank it up, you can feel the difference, imo.

Cool I cant wait to try it out, hopefully I can feel the difference too. Im hoping its not an external factor cause other FPS games seem to work fine, its just BF3. Im trying to calm myself in case it doesnt work I wont be in for too huge a let down
Oh well, gonna be a long day at work...

Laser is easy. I'm around 800 or so assists. I have like 40 mortars though. What are the requirements now or did they scrap em both?

The medals requirements are hilariously low. I got the same one 5-6 times in a single match.

they dropped from 300 ribbons to 150 for laser/mortar.

I played a little BC2, and a little of the previous Battlefield games. I'm sure the learning curve is steep, but I'm no slouch with other online shooters like Halo and Call of Duty. Granted, Battlefield is a completely different animal than those, but still, I can't imagine that I won't be able to figure it out.

Somehow, I have managed to get a huge cut to my left eye AGAIN.
severe abrasion to the cornea, will need 2 weeks to fully recover.

I had that happen once... but it wasn't as bad. Just a couple days. Felt like there was gravel in my eye the whole time.
Sorry bro.

This was a big problem for me in BF3. Even after that last patch where they reduced the input lag I still felt it. Plenty of times I would suddenly have an enemy pop up in front of me and me trying to track/follow him was comedy. Movement wouldn't seem to register when I pushed on the stick then suddenly kick in leading me to over aim. Your impressions on this new patch sound encouraging.
Wow! I'm sorry but, sucks to be them. People with HD sets had to deal with this problem for over a year. I'm glad DICE finally seems to have fixed the controls.

yep! i updated both console versions and played a bit on PS3.
the only thing i'm not feeling is m-com defender didn't get nerfed. still got half of those on deck...

I can't believe people still play on SD tvs. you can get a small HD TV or monitor for less than a PS3/360 these days.
Looks like its live in Europe there's some live streams up on Twitch.
