Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[imINxile]

I should really try to play this game again. Was addicted for months when it first came out. Ended up shelving it due to the constant changes, updates and patches.

Maybe these new map pack will renew my interest in this game. They look pretty good..

[moots]

Started a new server based in Europe, here are the details:

-Name: {EgY} Metro/Sein/Bazar-200%-No Rules
Just search for "egy" and you will find it.
- Rush only on these 3 maps ( Metro - Bazar - Sein )
-No rules or ban whatsoever.
-200% Tickets.

Just try it guys & waiting for your feedback.

will try it when I get home. my server expired on the 25th

The biggest BF map ever is supposedly going to be in this dlc.

[keefy]

What is the point of that, the PS3 has less players than the PC, will be hard to find enemies. in the past with 64 players onCaspian border I find it hard to find enemies sometimes.

Armored Kill is only one day away! Gear up, soldiers!

Yep not looking forward to these large maps, as the large BF3 maps are already to large for console versions... But if everybody is in a tank for the new mode (?) that could work out alright.. But playing conquest on these maps.. I'll stick to close quarters

You should actually add me so that we can play together seeing that you're one of the few active members of this thread still.

Drop by if you want! Name's "Thornback" (without the apostrophes).

Sure, I'll add you later when I get on.

[mudshark]

Can't wait until tomorrow

[daLa]

Can't wait either, just a heads up though! patch is 1.4 GB and AK dlc is 1.5 GB.

[DreDayDetox]

Jeeez those are huge files, but this is the mode I've been waiting for since I saw the trailer for BF3. I kept thinking, "wouldn't it be cool if there was a game mode where you use just the vehicles to play with other players? No on-foot action whatsoever" and whaddaya know...

Patch is live.

Man, my download always stops halfway through... What's up with that? My internet is fine! Can I download it from the PC somewhere?

EDIT: Never mind, it worked after the third try. Might have been a server overload.

[daLa]

Once again thanks for the heads up Wrath, and yea patch is live in the US.

It's not showing up for me either. Don't think the PSN store update happens until later.

[keefy]

If you are premium player you get it today if not you have to wait untill 18th.

Downlaoding the patch for PC and its flying @ 5MB/sec so must be PSN shitty servers.

I bought the game from Hong Kong so I'll have to download the DLC from their store. I don't even know when they usually update it over there...

[keefy]

Why buy from Hong Kong?

Finally they made it so adding a friend to your battleog profile adds them to Origin too it ws one of the main criticisms I had for this whole friends system.

Because I was living in Australia at the time and they were by far the cheapest.
