Battlefield 3 |OT2| Mine! RendeZook! Wa Isl!
- Thread starter The Faceless Master
- Start date
just built a new PC and holy moly. Playing in ultra settings is so crazy GOOOOOD. I was playing in med/low before.
If I set everything to ultra, is that the best I can get? Or are there tweaks or texture packs or anything to make it better?
and wtf man, how is there no B2K servers anywhere. I couldn't even find a westcoast server playing strike at karkand or sharqi last night. Does nobody play these maps? Those were the best in BF2. I only play conquest though.

There are quite a few 24/7 Karkand servers. Check your filter settings as you may have had something checked that hid the servers.
Server browser sucks. It doesn't actually show all available servers that pass the filters. Enabling more filters such as player count and free spots actually shows more servers than not having those toggled.
I've fallen in love with the ASVAL again. When I want to play aggressive support it's perfect. I don't really like any of the engie weapons, so it's perfect for that too. The built in silencer gives me the stealth I need and unless I'm just beaten by, say, the AEK's high rate of fire I usually win every 1 on 1 encounter as well.
Oh AS VAL, I love thee.

Took the screen on 30th Sept, mid day (11:58). Wanted to join first but then i didn't want to play with that much tickets left (and i was scared to be on your enemy team
)Really nice vids. Everytime i see such vids i yell at my bank account for not providing me with enough funds to get a new rig and better fps.
After seeing your sniper vid i have to try Recon more. I don't even have made 2000 points with it.

You can buy a new serial. You basically just got robbed.
You cant buy this second hand. Unless someone gives you their account (which you better go and change email and password and everything you can) you got robbed. EA terms alsoforbid selling accounts so if they find out they may disable the account.

Dude... never ever ever buy second hand PC games unless you know the person you are buying it from lol
Also, the game was on sale for $10 in two different occasions, pay more attention man!

Fucking EA. I never game on PC beside Steam so I didn't know how things worked on this platform.
Luckily the dude gave his account details to me.
@Metalmurphy: 2 occassions? I am only aware of the 10th anniversary discount, wich was only 1 day.

Wait, what?? This is not a good solution to your problem man.

There was another sale after that on Gamestop Impulse
Even if games don't have a client to register keys with, if you try to play online it's more then likely that you'll get a "This CDkey is already in use" error as the guy who sold it kept the key.

Are all retail pc games like this? If so, its bullshit.
Anton Sugar
Member
Yeah, dude--this isn't an EA thing. If someone registered the key (and ostensibly tied it to their account) and just sold the game, you're screwed.

Byebye pc gaming, it was good to know you. Just as I tried to leave the realm of console gaming.
Did he sell you the account? (username and password)? Cause then you are ok.
Canis lupus
Member
No, he sold me the game. I tried loging in but key was used, so I contacted him. And he gave me his account.
Metalmurphy

Don't be like that. PC gaming much cheaper then console gaming, and the benefits far outweigh that small inconvenience.
If you buy a used copy of BF3 PS3 or Xbox you have to buy an online pass for around 10/$ i think.

I know, I will never buy retail pc games anymore, or anything outside Steam. I love Steam, I will continue loving it.
Metalmurphy

Just don't buy them second hand unless you know for sure the key isn't registered. It's that simple.
There's no problems buying from retail, it's usually cheaper too.
There's loads of stuff on sale around various non-Steam vendors (like Amazon, GMG, etc.) pretty much all the time, and a lot of times they're Steam codes. Don't follow Steam just because it's Steam, follow the deals. I have a moderate library of 50 or so Steam/Origin games, and ~10 were bought straight from either, and none anywhere close to full price.

Is it absolutely ridiculous that I want to play this on my plasma with a controller? Is multiplayer even worth playing with a controller?
Anton Sugar
Member
GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE
Sure it is. If you aren't used to a controller you won't have much fun the first 3 weeks.
I hope you mean the console version and not the PC version because then it's a big no-no.

I've played BF3 on both of my consoles but it runs so damn slow its agonizing. I want the comfy couch with 60fps.

What's wrong with a keyboard and mouse on some sort of tray?

Not that I'm ashamed of my geek side but I live with my gf and that shit just won't fly.
Go ahead and play with a controller then, come back when you've planted it in the wall and punched your girlfriend in sheer rage over being killed all the time and not getting any kills yourself

I know, I have around 100 Steam games Ive yet to touch lol.
I'm gonna play the game with controller on my plasma aswel, hooked my gaming htpc to it.
Armored Kill maps run at an embarrassing framerate at times on the 360.I've played BF3 on both of my consoles but it runs so damn slow its agonizing. I want the comfy couch with 60fps.
Bought the game today and the guy at EB really tried pressuring me into getting the Premium edition but I couldn't afford it. I figure after the first time of saying no thank you, they'd leave you alone. In the end, I had to end up getting the game at Toys 'R' Us because EB Games decided I don't look over the age of 17 and I didn't have my ID on me. I expect my purchase at Toys 'R' Us to really affect EB. Anyways, updating now. Taking forever. Does a lot of GAF play PS3 version?

Doesn't this game have a home menu on pc?
Nope. If you play campaign it does I think (Though I've never tried, haha)
Metalmurphy
Member
It's main menu is Battlelog. If you need to change settings you need to launch it first, probably best if you launch the campaign.
Canis lupus

Ah thanks. I seem to have a problem with selecting buttons and tabs in the game, is it caused because I play it on a plasma?
Look where the mous cursor is:
Can't select any classes
