Whose bright idea was it to give the mortar infinite ammo? It feels like trolling.

Well considering that the class that has the mortar is support...who happens to have the ammo crate I think it wouldn't matter if the ammo was finite.

Tried playing the campaign on Hard but it's too fucking hard.
 
I just played an entire 6 games.... ONE AFTER ANOTHER! This game is great, when it actually works.

How about you fix yours.

1) EA online code
2) Go play a match to completion.
3) ???
4) PROFIT!

They're putting the log behind a pay-wall. Stupid, but you have to put the code in AND THEN PLAY THE GAME before it'll let you log in. NO SINGLEPLAYER DOES NOT WORK. The multiplayer (can't say for co-op) is NEEDED.

Not true. I put in the code and played a game. Still not working.

Stop killing me through walls you bastard!
You would always catch me while reloading and moving into cover XD
I was getting so pumped at some of those kills since I would end up flanking an entire squad and wrecking them with my AR, then I'd use the M320 when I had to reload which would always end up killing a few more who were already wounded.

I actually love that map. It's intense infantry combat with lots of destruction and mayhem going. Yes, vehicle maps are my favorite, but a good infantry map is a nice change of pace and it sure as hell isn't going to be Op. Metro...lol

Got killed by mr_nothin a few times. Was in demolito's squad in the last game I believe.

I haven't played enough maps to decide, but it still feels like the maps are too small (Grand Bazaar, Tehran Highway, Seine Crossing). Where's the breathing room like there is in Caspian Border? I still have the other maps to play, but those 3 in particular feel like every corner you turn, you're going to find 2-3 people shooting at you.

Yep, Got a defective disk 2.


Hit the 47% mark for install and couldn't read it anymore.


God damn it, EA.

Damn, that's rough. Sounds like it's time to exchange your copy at the store.

Just opened my copy from Amazon and I'm installing patch.

Crap now I'm worried about the defective disks. My case seemed a little flimsy opening it.
My case was 100% fine. If you have the space, install disk 1 and see if it rejects it. Mine quit out at the 47% marker.

currently waiting for a live EA specialist. The screen is telling me my approximate wait time is 21 minutess

yes, with the extra s.

Fucking bullshit.

I try downloading the multiplayer disc as soon as I open it and get to 44% and it stops saying it can't be read cause it's dirty. What kind of shit is that?

but at the same time... "What the fuck is this bullshit? First a shitty ass Beta and now this? Why am i even trying with this franchise? should have just waited until Modern Warfare 3"

It's a sequel to BF2 not BC2, thats why it feels different. Glad you are enjoying it though!

I know. I never played BF2 before so Bad Company is my only experience with the Battlefield brand.

whenever I finish a game on the GAF server the game crashes and it just tells me "A required resource was" anyone know what it might be?
 
I no longer notice as much screen tearing, if any. The aiming is definitely different than the beta and is a lot closer to KZ2 which is awesome. It was odd at first but it didn't take long to adapt to. Loving it.

Does anyone else experience stuttering in Single Player? Like when I start the game and it shows the "EA" logo, it randomly stutters. In the game during a cutscene it stutters, or even when in a mission.

It gets annoying after a while :\

Oh, and no, the game doesn't stutter during multiplayer which I find really odd.

Xbox, PS3, or PC?
 
So, the whole installation thing on the 360... I want to to install the actual game to my HD and of course, the Texture Pack as well, so in what order do I go about this to not fuck it up?

This is dumb.

Wait, what?

There's a special order?

That may explain some of the graphical glitching in MP.

Ok, I'm seeing what people are talking about with the stuttering in the PC SKU becoming intolerable after playing more than 30 minutes.

It gets really, really bad. To the point of getting 1-2 second pauses every 5-20 seconds. It's out of control.

Quitting the game and joining a new server remedies the problem, though. Kind of sucks having to stick it out on a server to get your stats updated while basically being unable to play.

This is on:

Win7 64
4 gig
6850 w/ "preview 3" ATI drivers (the newest ones you're supposed to use with BF3)

You find a resolution with talking to ea?
 
Mow down 3 , about to capture a flag.

Game decides to freeze.

Wish I would have never bought this game and instead waited for a steam sale and for the game to be fully patched.

Wasn't aware that there was an order.

I installed to the hard drive first and then installed the texture pack when I fired up the game.

Anyone else getting a memory leak with Battlelog? I just sat here watching usage constantly climb in both Firefox and Chrome.

That may be what is causing the horrible stuttering after you play the game for more than 30 minutes.

I did notice that Origin was taking 10-20% CPU and Firefox would take between 5-30 CPU at times. Maybe when they both decide to spike the CPU it causes the stutter too.

Pretty crappy.

Can you kill off Firefox once you're in a game?

Oh, there isn't? My bad, guys. I thought I read somewhere in here that there was. How are the servers doing, anyway?
 
Sorry if this has already been posted (I haven't seen it), but it turns out the Caspian Border radio tower coming down is scripted destruction only:

it's set-piece destruction. Gets brought down at a certain ticket count

someone a few pages ago said, install texture pack first, then install the game or the texture pack wouldnt finish installing.

thats the way i did it by chance earlier and i have had no graphical issues (besides the framerate in SP being complete shit).
