Anyone else having weird issues today? Nothing on my computer's changed but I've been getting the disappearing HUD/disappearing teammates/disappearing gun bugs a ton today.

Not to troll, but how anyone was expecting DICE to deliver a balanced or even finished product this time is beyond me.
Anyone with more than one BF game launch experience was able to tell that this shit would happen. You're essentially a paying Beta Tester.
The brutal thing is that BF games are still fun to play despite the terrible shape they're released each time, but hell if it isn't frustrating to have to endure all this shit every single time they release a new game, and then have to deal with the slow patching process that even after years leaves a game that is bugged and glitched.
For once I'm really glad I waited this one out. It should be halfway patched and balanced next year in Summer. But man it is tempting to jump into this game, despite all the technical problems.
Yeah, after playing Goldeneye on Wii I thought that switching firing mode should be standard in all FPS games with modern weaponry. Good to see that DICE included that as well.

So you killed every single enemy with a knife headshot? Or just the ones you had to? Also what was the time you got?Spl1nter said:
From looking at the leaderboards it seems like Eleventh Hour on easy is where all of the big scores are and I'm just curious as to how you get them (haven't tried any co-op myself yet).

Oh god yes, fire-mode switching needs to be standard.
I love rolling with the M416 (or whatever model the infantry class gets), using full-auto in close-quarters, then switching to burst and single-shot for longer-range engagements.

Yeah, this is great. I've done it a few times. Usually a bunch of snipers on a rock. A few rounds ago I came across 3 snipers after flanking and sneaking behind. Knifed the the first guy but that fucker let out a child like sqeal and the other two suddenly jumped up. Had to shoot them both instead. Was really wanting to knife them all. That guys pussy scream fucked it all up.

skip the 3rd and 5th bases of Valley Run, *bam*, 5 section Rush map!TheSeks said:
you can put out 6 while you're alive. if you drop a 7th, the 1st disappears. they stay after you die. there's a mine bug too, if you're killed and respawn, you can put out 6 more mines, and the original 6 don't disappear. rinse, repeat...Corky said:
they disappear when you respawn.n0n44m said:interesting about the mines still being there ...
from a little testing I did yesterday it seems you can have 2 active claymores as a support (only get 1 when spawning) , planting a third makes the first disappear.
I wonder if claymores stick around after you respawn as well?
ow and the mortar is awesome
Docks flag at Kharg is the worst for that because there's no ladders to get to the roof, but it's in the capture zone!excaliburps said:Same with Op Firestorm. The two buildings in B! DICE needs to make it so that those on the friggin' roof don't get the base! Such an imbalance.
Also, Dr. Pepper codes are separate for PS3, PC and Xbox? I'm going to ask my cousin to get me a can or two in the US. Should I specify which kind?

They should bring back dogtags attached to the knife ala 2142. That's a missed trick right there.

Great. EA backend servers are DOWN.
I had a lol spawn moment where I appeared right behind 3 enemies who were lying down and looking at the opposite direction. I was so thankful I had a shotgun.

Default canon vs ground I'd wager. Frogfoot and A-10 are fucking amazing in that regard, I can't wait for DICE to go overboard and the weeks of tears we'll get to endure.

I think it'd be pretty cool if jets could bomb the shit out of cap points etc, as long as it wasn't open to spam.

At least tell them what you're doing.
For those wondering, he's holding back at the bank with the police cars. When you stay behind them, you can rack up kills cause the enemies just keep spawning. Remember to spot for extra points.
It's basically a grind, but with some very helpful unlocks there, it's worth it (up to the M83 myself).

Servers are down because of maintenance folks, should be up within an hour.
See, this is exactly my problem with stats servers. It negates having dedicated servers. Since the stats servers are always trying to pull stats from every single player in a game across all games, it bogs the stats servers down which in turn....delays and stresses the actual game servers. That causes universal lag for everyone on what is supposed to be a dedicated server. Makes it feel like a p2p game.
I say, just update the stats when the game isnt taking place. Just wait until the end of the round in order for the server to send and fetch stats information. With the servers trying to stat fetch from hundreds of thousands of players...it's causing massive lag for everyone.
I'd take some mid-game stat loss over this freakin lag/rubberbanding. Seperate the stats server and the dedicated game server a little more so it doesnt affect everybody negatively all at once. No point in having a dedicated server if it's going to be held back by the laggy stats servers....

I just had my best round ever. Conquest on Operation Metro. I shot people left and right with the SV98. Headshot after headshot. I felt like Bob Lee Swagger. 18:1 kills and maybe another half of the whole round to go. I'm not telling lies.
And then "Connection to EA Online was lost".

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I asked support for my BF1942+expansions and 2142 vet stuff since my keys never worked and Kamal threw in Vietnam even though I've never played that. You can probably just lie and they'll give you them.
