It's day fucking 3. Why is the 360 online still fucked up??? "You have lost connection to the session."
Blow me, EA and DICE. Your game is shit.
My god, MW3 can't come soon enough.

LOL!
Deadly Cyclone said:
Yes, and while you work your arse off trying for kills with the Jets to get them you can be cannon fodder for others with Missiles to unlock other shit
Jets are DAMN hard to start unless you jumped on and tried to level them as soon as the game released. I haven't been playing enough :/

I remember Black Ops was fucked for me for about a month, it made me not end up playing the game at all.

There, finally completed the campaign and it was a big "Eeeeeh". There where some cool moments, like
. The rest was honestly kinda lame, the ending didnt really write it off well.
the takeoff on the hangar ship (though the rest of the mission didnt live up to it much) or the spetznas mission in paris

Holy shit. Three hitmarkers with a sniper rifle and the dude still doesn't go down. What the fuck.
Fuck me, just had the SP campaign lock up my 360 again - hard reset required both times. Two nights in a row now.
Congrats DICE - BF3 is the first 360 game I've played to achieve that dubious honor. Suppose I can't blame them too much. Their EA overlords clearly mandated the game come out before MW3 no matter what, and it shows. Way to piss off your new converts guys - I won't be buying a DICE game day one again.

Play on hardcore. 2 shots with drop anyone.
Oh man, I just had the most long drawn out "dog fight" ever. It pretty much went the entire game and the guy kept dodging all over the damn place. Me and my team mate managed to shoot him down once, but that guy was wile as fuck. He never got any kills on us, but we never killed him again either =\
When I'm flying jets it's like... a different game. I feel totally disconnected from everything below and sometimes forget about flags and shit completely. I like it, but I'm sure my team mates probably don't
Once I unlock those air to surface missiles though...

Anyone else just thrilled with the blinding laser sights as I am?
Dipswitch said:
That was the first time that's ever happened to on the 360? Heck the last time it happened to me was the last game I played, Dark Souls. It's not that uncommon.
On a side note, I wish I could unlock the stupid flares on the jets. I'm pretty much useless flying one with only a turret.

I was really thinking of playing this but HOLY SHIT this thread reads like a nightmare..
Sorry DICE I will give you a shot first of the year when I'm bored of MW3. Hope its all figured out by then.

This shit is embarrassing. I've had the game since Saturday and have had about 5 good hours since then of solid servers.JB1981 said:
It's really shameful. I'll be trading this in for Uncharted 3 on Monday if shit's still broke.BigNastyCurve said:

Lasers I can sort of understand having a blinding effect since they're, y'know, lasers, and it's much harder to actually point it directly into someone's face.
Those flashlights, however. Holy shit, what a terrible idea.

This game is such a mess. I'm rubber-banding around the maps, being instantly killed after putting multiple bullets into an enemy, and the screen is such a jumbled, unclear mess. I literally can't tell if that thing over there is an enemy or a jaggy bush. It lacks clarity. Tha'st what comes with the territory of a 360, I suppose, but it's still bullshit.
Not to mention all the retarded design choices. Why allow an enemy to bail out of a disabled vehicle? I've yet to receive one kill with the Stinger even though I've disabled multiple aircraft. Unlocking weapons which are already on vehicles is also stupid as hell.
I really want to enjoy this game, but even the most basic gunplay is unpredictable. Will this guy die in one burst or will it take an entire clip? Let's find out!

hope they patch the stuttering as well. It's annoying disabling hyperthreading everytime I wanna play. I use a decent amount of programs that work well with HT.

Not like I have the best, latest tv in the world but I have a Sony Bravia LCD set. 1080p. 60hz from 2009. I have the PS3 set to 720p. I have game mode on. And the controls still feel terrible.FatalT said:
It like a combination of lag, and a big deadzone in the stick. Aiming is seriously frustrating in this game. The controls feel so similar to Killzone 2 pre-patch. I took the time to get acclimated to the controls in that but they definitely weren't favorable. But I really don't have the patience to do it all again for BF3.
I've said it a bunch of times but man, they really nailed the controls in the beta. Even though the beta was glitchy as hell, the controls were tight. But the final game's controls are bad to me.
I want to love this game, I really do. Haven't tried online yet, and I'm kind of dreading doing so with these controls.

I admit, I have been using matchmaking the last few games I played. But the server browser seems screwed up, too. I'll join a server with four bars (DICE doesn't want to intimidate us console peasants with ping, I guess) only to find out that it's located in Europe. I'm in California. What the fuck, how is that a four bar game?

Oddly enough, switching the res to 1080p seems to have fixed the control issue for me.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Holy mother of God... Damavand Peak + 64 players + Conquest = EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE JESUS CHRIST
64 players just lobbing grenades, shooting rockets, and spraying bullets down a relatively narrow corridor, as medics stay behind reviving people over and over and tanks provide cover/suppression fire. It's one of the most intense experiences I've had in any online shooter. And the best part? ZERO SLOWDOWN. How the fuck? Seriously, somebody explain to me how the fuck that's possible?
Can't believe some people are hating on this map. It's awesome!

Always put your console on the native ress of your tv.
Letting the tv do the upscaling is a big no no.

I dunno man. On Conquest that map for me has just been people spamming rockets and nades down the 2 small alleyways, snipers camping the open tunnel and vehicles just blasting away behind smoke. Its basically 3 choke points.

Not sure if I read it here but someone mentioned using the anti-tank mines. I'm a platinum anti-tank guy in BC2 so I started placing them and destroyed 8 tanks/vehicles in one match!!! No one is even looking for them and I bet there are a bunch of new players coming from COD that don't even know what they are. I mean, I was placing them in the exact same spots and people were hitting them over and over again.
I love it, I was giggling like a school girl each time once blew up.

After trying a repair install earlier today my copy of BF3 in Origin will only show "Ready to Install." If you click it, it does something for a few minutes before popping up with the same button again. Really don't want to have to do the 15gb download a third time. Losing patience with this Origin bullshit.
