Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[daLa]

I know about those forums, but going by my past experiences with EA and Ubisoft, I highly doubt they spend the time reading them.

Thanks. I completely forgot about the Soflam and Javelin combo. The problem is that one of those best of the best of the best pilots will probably kill you and your soflam as soon as you try to deploy it.
Though I will definitely test it next time I play online.

I know it's quite hard to believe, but that's actually where they get all the feedback from when it comes to all changes they make on the updates, of course they only pay attention to those that most people request.

Leave that Javelin at home and take the SMAW/RPG with you. Problem solved.

Plus, taking down a helicopter that way is much more satisfying. I have lost count on how many I already saw plummeting to the ground with my Engineer.

The new patch looks great, also I can't wait for the CQC DLC.

[keefy]

Godamit!

Just got knifed by someone that wasn't even anywhere near me. cheating scum.
Cannot remember his name because the kill feed is in the wrong palce when you kill or are killed by someone.

Fuck you DICE.

I see there's nothing mentioned about fixing the regular freezing issue on Gulf Of Oman. I play that map a lot, using servers that offer 400-500% tickets and in two hours play of BF3 at a time, the game will always crash 2-3 times. Now, I'm definitely not alone - I've seen many complain and there's even one custom server I frequent that uses the welcome message "Why does Oman freeze SO MUCH?".

Upon notifying the BF twitter, their CS email and posting on B-Log forums, for 6 weeks the response from staff has been "We will look into it, thanks" at best, some recently even sounding totally unaware of it. These gringos expect me to pay money for Premium or seperate DLC? Part with money for overpriced content to expand a broken game? Happily add on COD-style maps to an already badly-balanced MP game? Over-powered BTRs & choppers, one or two drastically OP weapons each time a new patch has hit, boosters allowed to do as they please for months, default servers hidden away like embarrassing family?

I have a steaming pile of vibrant orange, curry-powered excrement ready right here for EA to gulp their way through and I will not provide water.

I like the controls being fixed more, the FAMAS I already mentioned earlier too, reducing recoil on some guns, having firing mode continue (I hope it's persistent even after the game ends) and last but not least, colorblind mode.

Now I really hope they have the flashlight/laser being off from the moment you spawn, until you turn it on...that would just make the game so much different than it is atm.

That video really tempted me to buy premium

[keefy]

A few days ago zh1nt0 asked me to help collate feedback on BF3 from the community so he can send it to his colleagues. This video, and the zip file, are the result of that. Huge thanks to everyone who has taken the time to provide feedback.

I hope DICE respond in kind.

The link to the zip file is: http://www.phyrefli.com/Community_Feedback_On_BF3.zip

The zip file contains a pdf document and a spreadsheet and are the accompaniment to this video.

I downloaded the patch but after that i found all servers to be offline.Any news on Premium prices ?!

[keefy]

Consoles patch is live but PC isnt. Also even though you got the patch you have to wait for the servers to be updated.

I thought this update would be all done and dusted and we be playing by now.

I'm pretty sure it will be live after their conference.

[keefy]

Why they update and take the game offline when its the busiest time for gaming?

NOTICE Battlelog will be back online during the E3 press conference. Check back at 13:30 PDT/16:30 EST/21:30 GMT/22:30 CEST, soldier.

PC Patch is 2GB.

[daLa]

Patch went live a couple hours ago on PS3 and it's 1383mb.

BF3 Premium is also available after you update for $49.99, and if you purchase it will grant you instant access to Close Quarters.

50$.That's a lot.

[daLa]

50$.That's a lot.

It isn't.

Back 2 Karkand $15
Close Quarters $15
Armored Kill $15
Aftermath $15
End Game $15

That's a total of $75 worth of DLC, and if like me you're a Limited Edition owner then you already have B2K, that narrows it down to a $60 worth of DLC you would need to spend to get all the rest of upcoming DLC. Plus Premium is giving you unique camos for both soldier and weapon, ABC-90 knife, dogtags & unique assignments only for Premium users to unlock new weapons. Oh and it's a one time fee only, so that's pretty sweet if you ask me.

[keefy]

Paying for the same game twice in 6 months for content you cannot play because it has yet to be made obviously is a good deal and the way forward.

That would be true if i want to get all those DLCs.But i'm only interested in CQ so i think i'll just get that. i see 15$ is expensive for a dlc.

[keefy]

Still cant hear enemy footsteps coming from behind.

Well that's true, if you're not interested in the rest of DLC then getting CQ only it's definitely the best choice, I think it'll be out when the PSN Store gets updated.

I'm definitely going to get all DLCs that's why I'm going to get premium. When End Game comes with motorcycles I bet they'll add a racing game mode haha.

Hate noobs that stand in doorways.

Lol,motorcycle racing with shooting other people,It could be Next-Gen RoadRash.

Am experiencing a lot of sound bugs that ruining the game for me.
