eek!
this is glorious.

 

[Divius]

Aw snap, time to play then.

 

[BoobPhysics101]

Jesus. Strike @ Karkand looks SO good. What the FUCK. And plays so well.

The detail in this urban landscape... unreal. So many places to go. Wow. This is truly next-gen Battlefield. BF2 veterans are gonna love this. Everyone is, actually. It's mind-blowing.

HOLY FUCK, WAKE ISLAND

[J-Rock]

Currently downloading the system update found in the store(360) but the Map DLC isn't up yet.

 

[lazybones18]

Been a while since I played the game, but what are assignments? Any rewards for completing them?

EDIT: Nevermind, looked it up on BF3 Blog

 

[Moaradin]

Just played one round of Karkland.

 

[demolitio]

It's awesome to see the map at the end of a round. There's nothing left for the poor souls that used to live there...lol

 

[big_z]

fuck them for flipping the map on karkand. otherwise it's good.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

damn, the maps are huge

 

[mr_nothin]

damn, the maps are huge

Just like it's supposed to be!

 

[demolitio]

damn, the maps are huge

Welcome to the real BF.

[Black_Stride]

Played one match on Karkand...absolutely awesome, second round was starting up and then i got randomly kicked with this message:

Game disconnected: you are missing content from the game.

Now i cant join any B2K games....gonna reboot and try again, if EA has fucked Limited Edition buyers over am gonna blow a gasket.

 

[Garrus Vakarian]

Am I correct in assuming that Karkand came as a part of the 4GB patch? It says I'm missing content when I go to join a B2K game (I got the limited edition/karkand pass for PC)

Edit: seems like I'm not the only one.

 

[Veins]

Snipers everywhere on Karkand, this is shit.

it said that for me then i had to update my browser plugin and it works fine now.

 

[mxgt]

Goddamnit forgot I OC'd my card too much for BF and it crashed just as Karkand was ending!

Great map though

 

[demolitio]

Lots of server crashing going on right now but any glimpse I get of these old maps leaves me stunned. Where did these map designers go?!?!

In other news, if anyone spots a good deal on a decent video card, let me know. I'm hoping for a decent deal on a 560 but most of it revolves rebates which is fine normally but I don't have enough to cover the normal price before rebate...lmao

I wish the majority of the new weapons weren't based off the same Chinese design. You'd think they'd add Chinese soldiers to go along with all of 'em.

 

[Reprise]

Purchased expansion, says I have access, try to join game, says I need the expansion ... derp.

Not it appears I have doubled ordered too :\

 

[RebornYeti]

3 Flag Wake? Why?

 

[demolitio]

3 Flag Wake? Why?

There's the full map on PC with all flags so if you're on there, just look around. I was just playing Conquest Assault on Wake and it was brilliant...until my idiotic team lost all flags and ended the game.

 

[G0DLIKE]

Just tried to play Karkand on PC and figured out EA have given me a standard code in a LE case.

http://www.on3network.co.nz/showthr...ition-key-in-BF3-Limited-Edition-PC-packaging

A number of people seem to be affected by this (source), so probably a mass packaging errors with the shipment of BF3 LE PC boxed retail copies that New Zealand received.

Fuck.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

So, is the SOFLAM bugged or something? I noticed last night and now as well that I'm getting no points when my targets get hit.

 

[Jas]

Lots of server crashing going on right now...

Yep, only been able to make it through a couple of rounds without it crashing.

 

[DMeisterJ]

So on the 360 do you just download the 2.03 GB update and that has B2K in it cause I can't find it in the store.

Yes

Really? I already played 4 full games.

 

[TheSeks]

5 flag Wake

Better than 3 flag Wake.

Also those of you creaming over Karkand is blowing my mind. It's a terrible map. :/ Hollow buildings, ladders. Might as well call it Shoots and Ladders and be done with it. Seriously.

 

[Jas]

Probably my luck

 

[MNC]

OMFG B2K LOADS FUCKING FAST


The way all maps should load! I have no idea why! All my vanilla maps load sloooooooow. B2K takes 5-10 seconds. Vanilla takes 2 minutes.

 

[GasProblem]

Unlocked the FAMAS

 

[big_z]

matches seem to be close on the b2k maps. shows how unbalanced some of the bf3 maps can be.

btw when loading a new map after a round i get a black screen that says loading with a blinky square and the next round never loads. this happens about 50% of the time and i have to leave the server and rejoin. anyone else have this problem?

 

[Divius]

Unlocked the FAMAS

How does unlocking work?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I'm gonna try out the B2K maps now. Shame GAF server isn't populated

 

[big_z]

How does unlocking work?

check battlelog there's different tasks you have to do for each weapon.

 

[Facism]

Good old Karkand and oldschool conquest. Fucking love it. Really gotta push as squads on that map.

I hope EU GAF start playing again.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Finally, some decent maps. Played CQ assault and loved it!

 

[Ysiadmihi]

It's insane how much better these maps are than most of the ones in vanilla BF3. The only one that comes close is Caspian.

 

[aznpxdd]

All the Asian servers are queued up the ass

Guess I'll try the new maps tomorrow.

 

[LonelyIsland]

Ughh, Recon still feels so useless,

and is something wrong with the SOFLAM? When I'm aiming with it it seems like it's on a very low sensitivity or something...

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Good maps. Seem much better than vanilla at the moment.

I'll wait until GAF server is populated tonight before I put much time into them.

 

[Divius]

I keep getting disconnected since the update. Grr.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Er... how do I know that my game is being updated? I click on the update thing on battlelog, it directs me to Origin but nothing seems to happen.

I've tried to check for updates on BF3 and it assures me it's up to date.

Help me

 

[MNC]

I might try reinstalling my game, see if the rest of the game will get faster loading as well.

Will I run into trouble with my B2K? It's tied to my ea account, right?

If you got the most recent update that was 4gb then you have everything you need.

 

[Nabs]

Game disconnected: you are missing content from the game.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Only jumped quickly into one game of each map but they seem pretty awesome. Except the team I ended up with on each server sucked and was getting their ass handed to them.

 

[RibbedHero]

Anyone else experience large FPS drops in B2K, in particular Strike at Karkand? I'm normally running at 45+ FPS, but with the urban maps in B2K that'll drop into the low 20s. Extremely frustrating...I might have to dial down the graphics when playing B2K maps.
