Pro/noob tip:

16-20 player maps are the best to skill up your air vehicle stuff. 64 player maps are chaotic. Tons of AA, people fighting over jets, other air vehicles with stuff already unlocked (heat seekers).

16-20 people leaves jets free quite a bit and often leaves you free to just dogfight without worrying about much AA.

Whats the new title "Aim Patch Coming" mean?

Um... let me figure out a good way to update the OP.

Is there somewhere people would prefer updates to go?

 

[blahness]

Do smoke grenades unlock the same way they did in the beta?

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Any details on this so-called aim patch??

I'm doing TERRIBLY in this game... I'm going 2 and 15 in a lot of matches. In alpha I had a solid 2.0 K/D ratio, and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. I just can't connect my shots.

I'm praying this solves the issue.

Very top of the first post would be excellent.

Just keep on playing had the same shit happening too me just needed too unlock better scopes.

 

[Kyaw]

What is this Aim Patch?

 

[Gui_PT]

What is this Aim Patch?

Will be posted in the OP shortly

 

[Cutwolf]

Does the A10 spawn on any maps?

 

[TCRS]

360 working again (for me).

 

[Nirolak]

All details are now in the OP.

 

[Zeppelin]

Hm, did they take out some of the radio chatter from the beta? I loved the "We have won this one, fuck them" one and I haven't heard it in the full game.

 

[JambiBum]

360 working again (for me).

Me too

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Has DICE commented at all on the loading times? They're about 3-4x as long for me than they were in the beta.

 

[MrBig]

Does the A10 spawn on any maps?

Rush Op Firestorm and Kharg, I believe.

 

[Desaan]

It'S not just BF3... I'm trying to activate Alice Madness Returns and it won't let me.

I believe their whole activation process has gone up in smoke, as from about 5.00pm this evening (GMT). 7 hours to do what exactly?

I really do fucking loathe this online activation crap. If they are so determined to push their own platform against Steam at least make sure shit works EA! Else yet again the consumer is the one left paying the price. (I even bought a physical copy hoping to avoid any digital fiasco, woe is me)

If you have way too much money and live in Europe, you can now download it off PSN

 

[The Faceless Master]

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.

yes.

and they actually fixed that in BC2 a few months after launch after a ton of people complaining.

 

[Drewsky]

All details are now in the OP.

Thank you.

Edit: l was one of the people complaining about the PS3 sensitivity weirdness, but by the time this comes out I'll probably be used to this and suck ass when they fix the problem.

 

[snack]

Very nice. Thanks, Nirolak!

 

[Kyaw]

Yeah, that has been an issue for me too. Sucks loading into a map last and not getting into the jet first. ;_;

All details are now in the OP.

Thanks!

 

[RoboPlato]

Rush Op Firestorm and Kharg, I believe.

I think it's also on Caspian Border Rush.

I've been experiencing the same thing....Hopefully this will rectify itself once I learn the maps better but I didn't have this problem in the beta...

 

[Drewsky]

I'm not having as much fun with conquest as I did in BC2, but much more fun in Rush games. I can't figure out exactly why.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Does the A10 spawn on any maps?

Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm and Kharg Island in RUSH iirc.

 

[Nirolak]

I added one more note to the OP about frame stutter.

It seems to be an issue with exceeding VRAM and some confusion with how VRAM data is handled with multiple GPUs.

 

[KePoW]

Metro Conquest is hilarious though.. Its the perfect map for COD fans.

I agree, which is why I love it. Great for laughs and fun... don't take it too seriously or competitively.

 

[TheSeks]

I still can not fly the jets for shit. I'm sort-of getting the hang of helicopters on the (IMO) shitty default controls but I keep thinking "oh turn with right stick" a la BC2 but no that leans you and WHAM 90 degree angle and falling to the ground. :lol

I still can't fly jets at all because I guess you need to switch to the third person and I never switch to third person if I can help it so it makes dogfighting and fighting people with some unlocks already hard. All I want is my ground missiles DICE. Why did you have to hide them as a second unlock.

 

[mcrae]

by default how any heat seekers do you get on jets?

 

[kamspy]

A friend of mine has been stuck at "Joining Server" for MP and "Initializing" for SP since launch.

Anyone have any tips? We've updated all the redists and drivers.

I got a Steam A.R.E.S. key for the guy that can fix this us.

Thanks.

 

[Ubersnug]

So is anyone having 360 server issues? I fail to join games and under server browser it only shows maybe 6 or 7 games and they are always full and the default browser is set to Europe and none of the US, I check marked the US servers and still no luck.

In the uk here and the same as you.

'Quick match' hasn't once worked for me and server browser only shows about 1 or 2 servers in Europe.

Also, creating a squad at main menu then trying to join a game is a clusterfuck. Half the team get booted whenever you eventually join.

Don't remember it ever being this bad on bad company 2 and the quick match would work 99% of the time too.

 

[Metalmurphy]

0.


Once you unlock them 2 but they regen pretty fast.

Is he using Avast?

Eh? BC2 had exactly the same issues at launch.

 

[FlyinJ]

Loading has been all over the map for me. Sometimes it takes forever, sometimes there is zero load screen from browser to spawn screen. It doesn't matter if I had previously played the game, either. Sometimes I'll get a super fast map load from the browser right after I've rebooted my computer.

 

[Xevren]

Flying jets is probably my favorite thing to do in multi, I've gotten pretty good at it too I think. I wish I didn't suck at the gunplay in this game, I was awful at Bad Company 2 too but I'm trying to do better.

 

[Ikuu]

They really need to tone down the damage the RPGs do to Infantry, thought they would have learned this from BC2 and Beta, but I guess not.

 

[Rapstah]

Is there a single GPU out there that has 2 GB or more VRAM per core in it?

 

[kamspy]

Is he using Avast?

Nope.

 

[meppi]

Nah, that's fine.
You actually need to hit someone really well with an RPG now.
The splash damage seems to be toned down quite drastically from BC2.

 

[Jim E. Rossler]

Remember when MW1 came out and xbox live went down for a week days?
All they gave us was that crappy underwater arcade game in return

 

[MrBig]

Nah, that's fine.

Yeah, you can shoot one and if it lands more than a half meter or so away it won't be a kill.

 

[TCRS]

Jets are totally useless on the 360. They don't fight each other and they are of no use to the guys on the ground. I can't see the enemies and even if I see one the Jet makes hardly any damage. But with nothing to kill you can't unlock stuff to make the Jets more useful..

Useless, as I said.

 

[Jim E. Rossler]

Nah, that's fine.

As it should be, RPG's dont even explode as much as eject a stream of molten metal in a straight line
Unless you're using an anti personnel version, but then you lose the vehicle effectiveness.

 

[Argyle]

Yes? I have a 6950 2 gb, isn't that a common video card?

 

[Dakota47]

Played some Rush for the first time since Monday. Got into the server by accident, stayed around and actually had a good time. I have played Caspian and Firestorm, and they both worked out nice. Will play again.

 

[Ikuu]

Nope, they need to be toned down against infantry and maybe have their damage increased against tanks.

 

[jambo]

GTX 580 comes in 3GB variants.

 

[Desaan]

I think Sapphire make a 4gb 6990, costs about £600 though!

 

[nero2082]

The game is so much fun when you can get into an actual match and not get booted out for whatever random reason. My match of last night

I didn't plan on being a de-fib whore but everyone kept charging up the stairs into a wall of bullets and 'nades. Funny enough with me and another guy on the paddles we pushed up and won it easily.

[edit] dunno the names of the maps yet but it was the train-station one.
