Battlefield 3 Official Thread

WTF are you talking about? The servers are hosted in data centres its not P2P like call of duty or Halo.

Get your facts straight, man.

It would be a crime to charge so much to own a server otherwise lol.

Here guys 1 bullet for two guys!

Not only was that NOTHING special at all, but your signature is beyond ridiculous.

Sony Defence Force? Get a life, seriously.

[Sufi]

haha yea i've seen more ridiculous things happen to me or have seen in-game.

I still wonder why they never exploited the physics...I miss seeing people fly 30 yards into the air after being blown up...from BF2. I mean, I shouldn't like that because a lot of innocent people die that way every day but it's fun to see in games.

[Terminator 101]

Well, it looks like having a filter that shows you servers with only one game mode would be too much for current consoles to handle.

Maybe BF4 on the next gen consoles will finally add this very important thing.
I only want to play rush, don't care about anything else.

You can do that...just not sure if it will be that way the whole time...mostly you can find rush servers or you can check the list. Most are one mode.

But yes, they didn't make it to where you could just search for one mode. Stupid but I guess it's difficult...though I've seen it happen with other games

[Terminator 101]

Most are definitely not one mode. In fact, it is very rare that I find servers with rush only and 100% tickets.

PC already has this filter. I doubt its difficult. I think they are too lazy to add it.

While we're on subject on the subject of BF4, I hope the future one will have better search feature. Being able to search for only one exact phrase is completely and utterly useless.

[Sufi]

Yea, it should...especially since I think for longer this time around, we will get better PC ports...might even be similar for a good while. And games that are made specifically for consoles should stay with PC for even longer.

There won't be as much corner-cutting.

[SupraGaz]

Anyone got the End Game DLC today?
It's freakin' awesome.

[Wrath]

Dinosaurs in Battlefield!

[Sufi]

Dinosaurs in Battlefield!

That got me thinking...omg think of this game a la Borderlands 2 *jizzzzzzzzzzz* Next-generation *fingers crossed*.

[daLa]

Hope this means future secret Dinosaurs DLC.

[keefy]

Anyone got the End Game DLC today?
It's freakin' awesome.

No, got to wait another couple of days days, freaking timed exclusive crap.
This update is 6GB and will totally make my 60GB SSD full to the brim only got Windows 7 a few dirvers and BF3 installed on it.

[SupraGaz]

Logged quite afew hours on End Game now and its well worth it for anyone thinking about it.
Capture the flag is simply awesome, especially when you're transporting the flag carrier either on a dirt bike or in a chopper. Its simply stunning and very intense to say the least

Para-dropping in a IFV is soooo damn good!

[keefy]

Check this out.

Couldn't have said it any better mate, End Game is one of my favourite DLC's, CTF is so intense!!

Just got my 100%, have all BF3 trophies now woot!

[keefy]

CTF is best.

Congrats on the 100% mate! I'm not far off, need to do the single player on hard and 3 more co op missions on hard. I'm too wrapped up in End Game to make a start though

Absolutely loving it at the mo

[keefy]

Right so Eng Game is available for PC today.
I had already downloaded a 6GB patch a few days ago but today I have to download another 4GB of data for the actual expansion pack.
My 60GB SSD is completely full now all it has on it is windows a few drivers and BF3 which takes up 34.2GB of space.

EDIT

After playing CTF I hve no clue whats going on thee are all these weird noises going on and I have no idea what they mean and to be honest one of the sounds is the exact same sound EA use for when you receive a message via Origin.

[NYFAN75]

Those little chimes you are hearing are notification's on when the flag is taken/returned or scored

[keefy]

No idea which is for what.
Why cant it be like it is in Halo or Unreal or Quake? which says stuff in actual words like
"enemy has flag"
"your team has flag"
"enemy returned the flag"

Remember these? It makes it very clear what is going on.

DICE are bad with that kinda stuff.

[keefy]

DICE are bad with that kinda stuff.

I keep forgetting they do suck at common sense.

It makes it hard to figure out whats going on otherwise.

Also the flag captures (caps) are not on the main scoreboard because that makes too much sense as well instead its only on the minimap so when the map has ended you have no idea of the score and who capped the flags.
Every game mode DICE implemented just seems like a bolt on done at the last minute.

Is it possible to play this game without the expansion packs? Like, does anybody not have all of them?

And if not, what expansion pack is the best to pick up?

You can play without the expansion. I personally like aftermath and end game. Back to Karkand isn't bad either...
