Is anyone having trouble getting in to servers on multiplayer? I get stuck at the loading or connecting phase and it never logs in. Been happening for two days now...

Yea I just noticed this today. Really weird. I'm enjoying the game but it needs a lot of fixes and some more polish.

I wish I never updated punkbuster last night. I had no problems with it before.

We should do some HUD-less playthroughs on the GAF server for MAXIMUM SCREENSHOTS.

I'd be there. Hudless + friendly fire would be a great combo.

They need to alter the damage model for vehicles, I don't understand how hitting a hummer with a 120mm tank shell results in it being "disabled". I shot the Huey twice last night with a tank, both times only the door gunner on that side of the copter was killed, and it kept on flying. If it isn't armored it should be dead on impact the second the round hits.

I can't even activate my game. Ran home from work and now I'm sitting here, Origin saying it can't activate my game even though I've pre-loaded it and everything.

edit
^ That explains it, thanks.

Yeah that sucks. Are you using it in MP than? How are you finding the long range targeting with it? It's kinda difficult to do with a mouse can't really imagine what it's like with analogs. I'm guessing (and hoping) that they didn't include auto-aim and other helpers.
Click to expand...

I only use it for jets and helicopters. I put the pad on my desk and use KB/M for on-foot, tanks, jeeps, etc.

Damavand conquest is the worst. There's all this shit in the way that you can't jump over, there appears to be barely any destruction. the flags are in a neat line so it's essentially a rush map and eventually you reach the mine entrance... The side tunnels are long and extremely narrow. Grindiest ass grinder that ever was. And you constantly get stuck on teammates, it is unavoidable. It sucks so bad.

All in all it may be the worst Battlefield map I've ever seen. Only played it for 15 minutes so perhaps there's some merit to it I'm yet to discover, but so far it's the worst.
Click to expand...

DICE are lazy, period. They could have modified the level and let infantry go above the tunnel and had a capture point up there, but no they can't be assed to change anything just shoehorn conquest in and ship it.

yeah same here, I'm desperate.

Retry does not do anything, the poorly drawn spinning thinking circle just keeps spinning.

You have to abort the whole installation and run your dvd again to do another try. Wtf is this shit?

Perhaps it's also a result of EA forcing it to be released before COD?

Just wait for the server to go online.

The lack of a ping meter in-game is really annoying. I want to see my ping and see if/when it changes. I'm sure its in the game and easy to track, it looks like DICE intentionally removed it so that you couldn't see the pings you were getting when playing on matchmade servers.

Anyone notice sound issues on the ps3? I notice in the intro video it's kinda low and in game it'll be normal. And today while playing it often sounded like the sound would cut in and out. Like some effects will be there while other ambient sounds wouldn't be there.
Click to expand...

Nope. Played MP, beat Campaign twice (Normal/Hard). Not a single bug, glitch, or issue.

This is god damn annoying. Should've done the Korea trick. Now, on release day, not able to even play Campaign. The auth server has now been down for 2½ hours, fix this EA.

Gah takes forever to get this game started.
1. Install the disc
2. Download 140 MB patch
3. Install texture pack
4. Enter code for multiplayer skins
5. Enter code for online pass.

Finally ready to play!
Click to expand...
Fixed. There is no second disc.

Have you played Metro Conquest with 64 players? By far, the worst IMO. It's like Damavand, but with no way to get over the tunnel.
Click to expand...

Not all the maps are balanced for 64, and I'm kind of thankful for the variety. If a server wants to run 64 players it's probably up to them to tweak the map rotation.

Damavend is pretty fun with 32.

For some reason it completely freeze my computer for 5-6 seconds each time I start it up. The only software on Windows 7 that has done this to me. Can't mouse the mouse or do anything.

I agree, I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I just find myself having more fun with 32 players. My first rush game on Damavand was so memorable, I really like that map. The game performs better as well w/less players, which is a big consideration for someone with an older machine.

so the Mortar is the ultimate troll weapon. People get sooooo mad when you kill them with it. When not playing on the GAF server, you can totally decimate the enemy. Its pretty funny.

*note when playing on the GAF server you will be instantly mortared back.

Agreed, I do like how u can kill pilots with rockets without needing to destroy the vehicle though.

If the devs really thought this way, it would be a total cop-out. If they planned on having 64 player versions of all the maps, they should have designed the maps to accommodate this, period. Especially since this was supposed to be the triumphant return of large, 64-player maps.

So, DF face off? Anyone know when it's up?

Or alternatively, any concensus on which console version to get? I want to buy it tommorow, but have no idea which version to get.

And no, PC isn't an option. Unfortunately. 1080p60 would be heavenly.

I had the same problem after updating PB, I think I fixed it by downloading pbsec.htm from here. Place that in your Origin Games/BF3/PB folder

I only played one game, so I don't know if it's a proper solution. I'll test it out some more.

edit: Nope, still getting kicked. This is shit.

From what I've seen they're about on par. IMO, get the one you have the most friends on.

There some sort of "aim assist" going on when shooting at drivers. It was like that in BC as well.

ps3 has input lag and although they probably gonna patch this, i recommend the 360 version for that reason. Overall, the 360 technically will be the best console version, as usual. Anything else would suprise me.
