Support NeoGAF

[Baller. PhD]

I can confirm I had luck also, and that it was really slow.

I just don't understand what I need to "activate" when I've already input my code on Origin and have BF3 in my library.

 

[Nabs]

Wait, that's not how it looks right? On my screen it's still annoying but nowhere near that, does it not scale with resolution?

Also does the hud "jitter" for anyone else when they turn around and stuff?

If you play the game at a resolution near 720p, the chat box will shit in your cereal.

 

[hylje]

Getting the hang on second night, got my act together at sweet euroGAF server and boy'o it felt good.

Chatbox is irritating and I haven't found option to set gun burst fire off default.

 

[LogicStep]

The game is fucking awesome and fun as hell. But the online social aspect of it (battlelog, friends list, joining together, coop, etc.) is fucking atrocious, none of it fucking works! In this case, consoles > pc

 

[Metalmurphy]

Well, ain't that just fucking fantastic!

 

[HotHamWater]

Has anyone actually got co-op to work on PC?

All of this works except joining together. What doesn't work for you?

Has anyone actually got co-op to work on PC?

Yup. Played the first two nights.

 

[Darklord]

Does the physical warfare pack give new weapons or just early unlocks?

 

[Mattdaddy]

Boo.

 

[MrBig]

Does the physical warfare pack give new weapons or just early unlocks?

They give an LMG that is exclusive but only for a limited time. The rest are unlocks.

 

[SLV]

Well, ain't that just fucking fantastic!

Holy shit ! What happened ? The map changed i lost connection and now this for you ? D:

 

[OldJadedGamer]

sounds like every battlefield game, praised as a call of duty killer before release, and shit loads of glitches when released, and people wonder each time why call of duty is so big, atleast most of the bugs are not existent when released just needs balance.

When the hell was the last time you played a Call of Duty at launch? That's a serious question. I've bought all the real Call of Duty's (IW made) at launch including COD2 at the 360 launch and they have ALL been buggy messes.

 

[Mattdaddy]

Is there really an aim patch coming or is that just a dirty, dirty joke.

 

[Twinduct]

This worked for me and my mates at work.

If only I could activate my game at home for fuck sake.

 

[Detox]

Same problem installed the game and now this when I try to launch it, their servers are fucked.

It's currently interpolating time instead of distance when it hits the aim cap.

 

[Nizz]

Forgive me, I'm looking in the OP for info on that aim patch but didn't see anything. Does anyone have more info on this? Also, my copy got here a day earlier

*edit. Nevermind, just saw Nirolak's post.

This might be related to the activation problems they're experience. But I sure hope I didn't lose my code.

 

[VariantX]

Anyone else here on X360 have their HUD disappear/go invisible upon respawning into a vehicle? Had to basically quit out through the dashboard because i cant see any hud elements to back out into the menu ingame. Second time in 2 days thats happened now

I guess my Reddit thread and the dude on Twitter finally got this acknowledged. Thank GOD.

[Enkidu]

I must say, after playing a few rounds of multiplayer I am a bit disappointed. The biggest problem so far are the maps, there are a few good ones, but I don't feel any of them are truly great. It's also the opposite of BF2, in that game I felt the city maps were some of the best maps in the game while here the city maps are downright unplayable.

 

[Metalmurphy]

9 Kills with the PP-2000? No sir, I do not. More like 50.


Looks like stats aren't saving...


Meh... gives me an excuse to finish the SP.

 

[Kibbles]

So how the fuck do you level up in a Jet if you don't have flares to begin with you have nothing to defend yourself from someone on the ground easily just shooting you down? I just want to unlock bombs so I can do bombing runs

Get lucky and take a few things on the ground.

 

[Nizz]

Reading that twitter response, he seems to be talking about the PC version. I hope it applies to consoles also (at least PS3)

 

[eternaLightness]

Great to hear. I was kinda getting used to the controls after having put the sensitivity all the way down, but still never felt perfect.

EA said that 10 million units has been shipped to retail and they are already getting reorders.

It's just the warfare pack right? or is it the actual gamecode?
Origin is slowly becoming slightly worse than luke-warm drinking water in my book.

I hope they fix this by tomorrow :<

So that was for Battlefield 3 and not FIFA? I blanked out for a second.

 

[jiggles]

I, too, am getting this bullshit now.

 

[petethepanda]

Wish you could still chat after a round ends.

 

[TheJerit]

Yeah, not much time to post while we're all playing in the GAF server for hours on end.

CAPPIN CHECKS
BREAKIN NECKS

l.o.l.

 

[PnCIa]

Is this "Aim Patch" something that will fix the weird stuttering?

 

[belvedere]

So if you uninstall/reinstall do you have to re-activate? My buddy was having C2D issues and uninstalled before I could warn him about Origin activations lol.

 

[-SD-]

BF3, of course. Isn't this a BF3 thread?

 

[Nirolak]

Right, they just mentioned FIFA at the same time while I was blanking out. :lol

I'll make a new thread in a moment. I want to see if they say any more in the Q&A first.

Thanks.

Wait for some one else equally new as you to fly like a retard in the jet and shoot them with your guns, or shoot an idiot that's stationary in a helicopter. I shot down a helicopter and a jet that way earlier.

I'm 140 points away from heat seeking missiles (level 2)... if I can just get 1 disable / kill I'm good. Then life will be so much better.

 

[Metalmurphy]

YES!

Don't do it!

 

[belvedere]

YES!

Ahaha, he's fucked.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Even repairing the game requires you to re-activate. So stupid.

 

[-SD-]

Right, they just mentioned FIFA at the same time while I was blanking out. :lol

Press release reads "FIFA 12 sold in nearly 8 million units" so I'm pretty sure they meant BF3 by "10 million".

 

[Ryuuga]

I absolutely love playing Engineer, it'll be hard to try out a different class but I'm not averse to switching roles depending on the situation.

 

[Nome]

Well, ain't that just fucking fantastic!

I'm getting this too. I entered my key (for the game itself), then was asked to hit Next. The next button didn't work at all, so I restarted Origin.

Now Origin says I have "no games" and when I try to enter my key, it gives me that same error.

First and last time I buy an Origin-only game (except you, Mass Effect 3!).

 

[Vard]

Do you get spot/kill assists even when you are dead? They show up at the bottom of the screen, but if I remember correctly in BC2 they didn't actually add to your score.

 

[creationtheory]

I'd really like the ps3 version of the game to control the way it did in the beta. A little more responsive than BC2 but not like CoD. Currently it feels like pre-patch Killzone2.

 

[petethepanda]

I was having various issues so I started a repair install an hour ago. Been sitting at 100% / "updating" since then. Started and stopped it a few times, only option it gives me is "ready to install" and it never goes anywhere. So I guess I'm entering the f'd masses lol

 

[Tallshortman]

EA said that 10 million units has been shipped to retail and they are already getting reorders.

Damn BF3 is doing work. Wouldn't be surprised if it got to ~70-80% of MW3 which would be fantastic. Hopefully PC is selling gangbusters, which from the looks of how many and full servers are it sure seems like it.

 

[Rabid Wolverine]

Same here.

Origin Fail.
