So how can you join a wait list for a server like you could in BC2? Do you have to just keep trying to repeatedly join a server?

EA is, what, the second biggest gaming software corporation? It would be ridiculous if they didn't have their own way to distribute their content a la Valve. I can't believe people really expect them to stick with the Steam service and lose a not insignificant percentage of the revenue/profits to Valve. Quit griping about Origin, it's here to stay. And hey, you can now buy Crysis 2 for $16. EA now offers great deals like Steam! In BF3 related matters, I keep getting kicked from WookWook and I don't know why. I have a suspicion though: for some reason that 48mb update isn't sticking. I download it once and it applies. After a game, I hit "repair install" and it download and installs the update AGAIN.

So why does the game need to keep updating again and again?

The AA tank might be my favorite thing from this game. Quite useful too against ground units as well.

I do agree that Jets feel quite useless in this game. The helicopters in BC2 were more freighting. They do make nice eye candy though.

Remember how you could wait for someone to leave a full server in BC2 so you could take their place? Is that possible with Battlelog other than repeatedly attempting to join?

I hope EA doesn't get carried away with DLC in this game. The Back To Karkland 'expansion' looks good but they could have just as easily included it in the base game without any fuss. EA being envious of Activision pulling in tens of millions with DLC packs doesn't bode well for the BF franchise.

So has it been explained why EA went with the browser launcher? I suspect that it will make it much easier for them to advertise products related to their games to users. I know that months and months of seeing "Battlefield 3 coming out October 25t!" on the BC2 launcher certainly influenced me, now they can have whatever expansion/map pack/sequel coming out plastered all over the background of the browser to create in the user the perpetual awareness that he has an incomplete or inferior product. Transparent advertising schemes aside, game owns.

Just got first in points in conquest on WookWook on the U.S team on Caspian. First time ever. I was just running around making sure to capture objectives. Then the server went down.

Red Beaver posted:20 Seconds over 100 matches = 2000 seconds, or 30 mins. IE. the length of an episode of Naruto Get bent. An SSD is a poor investment right now considering that in a couple of years they'll have way more capacity and will be cheaper. People who buy them now are still paying an early adopter premium.

washow posted:I told you guys that mobile AAs were a bit too overpowered but all I get is "qq you jet pilot gently caress youuuuuu" Oh god washow, it's like you only wanted this game so you could fly around in jets owning grounded units (everyone else.) Stop whining about the anti-AA being so good. Maybe DICE has decided to cater more to people who enjoy effectively using AAs rather than to Jet fans and you're just going to have to live with it.

There is a bug in the game where after dying, if you check the scoreboard, the game will not let you deploy. Not sure if checking the scoreboard is the cause but there are certainly times when the game will not let you deploy anywhere.

How to play as Assault on Damavand Peak: Get the M320 Gernade launcher and keep launching grenades at the enemy in either of the corridors. I got first place on WookWook on my team just by doing that and reviving the occasional person(I'm usually somewhere in the middle if I play a whole game). Then the game punished me for my good streak by crashing.

I must say that the requirement of having to grind all unlocks for every weapon is pretty stupid and really makes unlocking a weapon not that much of a reward. Just unlocked the AK-74m...would love to try it, but nope, I'd have to hamper myself in the actual game in order to do so.

Reinstalled Bad Company 2 to see how it would play after experiencing BF3. I was actually considering returning to that game for a month until they fixed the issues with BF3. But Bad Company 2 is so evidently a lesser game that I felt kind of sad playing it.

The m320 grenade launcher has officially become an obnoxious weapon. Some servers kick people out for its repeated use (they call it "spamming".)

The F2000 was the assault weapon I've been looking for this whole time. I ignored it after unlocking it because of it's weird shape but after seriously trying to use that AN-94 gun for a while the f2000 feels like a godsend.

I went 24/11 on a pub server, which is the best I've ever done in a round in terms of kills. I got five consecutive kills because I camped by the car on the street perpendicular to the bridge and one enemy soldier after another attempted to come towards me across the bridge without regard to what was happening to his teammates. Pub servers are awesome.

Giggily posted:I'm not really sure what the problem with BF3 is. I stopped playing it well before Skyrim was released, so my new soulcrushing addiction isn't responsible for that. There's just something about BF3 that's just.. not pleasant. Honestly I think it's just that the game isn't balanced at all, mechanically or teamwise at this point. When Back to Karkand is released I'd imagine that a lot of people will start playing again and stick around longer. BF3 is just missing polish at this point and that's really what's doing it in. Polish is exactly what they sacrificed to get the game released before MW3. Polish is why Valve and Blizzard take forever to release new games. Blizzard had a working version of SC2 in 2008 (maybe earlier?). And you know how they've been with Diablo 3. In short, I get the feeling that EA deliberately skimps on polish with their franchises so as to tempt you to buy the next iteration with the promise of more polish.
