[Megathread] Battlefield 3

[Torched]

There's just too many problems. Extreme lag (even on low ping servers), framerate Issues, crashing, ect...It looks like EA just released the beta but call It "BF3".
I'm going to try to get a refund or something. I should've went with the console version.

Also, battlelog Is the worst thing I've ever seen implemented into a game.

I´m not having ANY of these problems you list, not a single one of them.
My clan is running our own server (64 man conq) and its PERFECT, we haven´t had a single lag, and battlelog is perfectly fine.
The retail version of the game is nothing like the beta.
None of the people I play with (15 of them) have had any problems, so ether your playing on servers with 200+ ping or its your computer that can´t handle it.

I'm playing on servers with 5-20 ping and notice lag, everyone on the server experiences this when it happens. It seems to get worse at peak times and get better and non-existant at other times.

Defiantly an issue at EA/Dice's end.

Our server was full for 7 hours with full 64 people playing and not ones during these 7 hours did we have lag.
The server is hosted by Killercreation UK and not by EA.

Play on servers hosted by Multiplay, Killercreation or i3d.net.

Have it for PS3. I think really the only difference between the PC and PS3 is that one can have 64 players and the other only 24. One thing I am having a hard time with is relearning the controls. It's been a very very long time since I played a shooter I am very rusty. Also, seems like the enemies are very hard to spot. It's just my opinion. I still give the game a 9/10.

Has anyone else had problems downloading the game. We picked it up this afternoon and it's been downloading for 4 hours.

Dunno if this would affect it but ea online seems to be down and has been down for some time now.

If anyone wants to hook up on the North American side of things my Origin ID is nbm02ssls1

[JustintimeSS]

Anyone want to join Georgevon and I for some killz/laughs then feel free to add my origin ID- justincredibles

oh man. cool trends Im seeing -

1 people playing engineer just to use rockets constantly like a normal gun instead of having to aim bullets.

2 people getting in vehicles and driving away without any team mates inside and or driving around like idiots not doing anything for the objective

3 people just clumping up and fighting on one objective while 6 other ones could be attacked

4 you can spawn camp lock down on the Tehran overpass map

I'm utter shit. Haven't played FPS in a couple years. I have like 76 kills and 90ish deaths. =/ I also used to be pretty good with flying the helicopter, now I just suck. The controls feel very odd.

He he, Aussie street date for BF3 was broken, just picked up my copy, can't wait to play this! It's getting to the point in Aus where it's big news when a game doesn't break street date

[Zeta333]

This games infantry combat is absolutely subpar, Vehicle physics are still as fucking awfull as they were in BF2 and character and weapon animations are retarded. Not to mention EA has some of the worst servers around. This game is Def no living up to its hype.

So I was just poking around on metacritic for giggles...I love that site.

1/10
"Meh, i think they made a big mistake releasing this game on origin, I'm voting on a game i don't actually own for the reason that i don't support using origin. Does that make my vote invalid? Maybe yes maybe no.. It gets a big fat zero for failing the first test of game exposure."

Yeah boi. User reviews are the best sometimes.

[TheJekyll]

Can't wait to play it tomorrow. Stupid EU release dates.

That one is hilarious lol. Shame, why do such reviewers even have the rights to review.

So aussie retailers sold it early. i just picked up a ps3 copy from Dick Smiths for 79.95.

The first place i tried, Gametraders, the owner told me 109.95 (pretty big difference), but his stock hadn't come in yet. And he could see other Gametraders outlets making sales i think, on his database or w/e. Poor bloke

Anyway, i have been unable to connect to anything online, and i assume this is because its not technically released yet. at least, i hope

"Actually ( 26.10. 00:35 CET) we investigating some Multiplayer Server problems. We keep you updated!"

nerf mortars

srsly

Well I guess it's fine in conquest. But on Rush: arghhh.

Change your IP to Korean/US or something. Im sure theres tons of english written guides out there by now, so I wont link you a guide in my language. Just change your IP back to your default after you've activated the game, whole process shouldnt take more than 30 seconds, and then you can enjoy this fantastic experience early =D
This is legal! And not bannable.

Im just curious as what COD will do..At this point, I can't see any way they'll be able to compete with this..Every single problem I ever had during 35-40hours of beta, has been fixed - and more so. 500 points for flag caps? You barely see a sniper trying for 1k headshots anymore.
And yes, there is some lag on the 64 slots servers. But that is fixed by simply not playing on EA's servers!
Loving it!

Has anyone else had problems downloading the game. We picked it up this afternoon and it's been downloading for 4 hours.

lol i downloaded the game and instaled in 15 min

This games infantry combat is absolutely subpar

All the infantry maps I've played on have been awesome. The bottlenecks that can b(and are) created are awesome.

Vehicle physics are still as fucking awfull as they were in BF2

Elaborate on this. Seems ok for me, but I might be thinking of something else.

and character and weapon animations are retarded.

Really?! Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally?!!!! Are you just moaning for the sake of moaning? The character animations are some of the most realistic you will find, and the weapon animations actually look authentic unlike the plastic weapons of BFBC2 and are on par (if not better) than CoD.
