5/9 of the maps are terrible. really do ruin the game in my opinion

Just had a short go on MP again and I love this game slightly laggy now and then but so much awesome.

why does it run good on peoples 470's etc and not ours ? sli issue u reckon??

Yeah, maybe. I had the same issue in BFBC2 but by using some older drivers along with some settings adjusted in the NVIDIA control panel, I got it working nice and smooth.

The smoothest drivers I've played with in this game are the 280.26 drivers, but they crash after around 45 minutes of gameplay, and it gives me the annoying message telling me to update my drivers.

I think this issue is affecting all 200 series cards, and they better fix it, or I'm switching to ATI because despite their crap drivers, they don't stutter.

I'd argue that Metro on conquest is the worst map ever, Whoever takes B wins and that's it, no other way about it.

Had a few games on a random server with McGray and settler? I was playing like a boss for once, but had a good ol' laugh.

Span around in a huge firefight and someone had flown a helicopter down there

Hahaha. I really enjoy that map too. Some brilliant fights inside the tunnel and little skirmishes going on outside. Good stuff.

The bloom in this game gives me major headaches.

SO much has changed since beta and now the sluggish game play and ****** mouse gets me killed most of the time.

Not fun right now to say the least.

Metro on Rush is alright though, Seine just blows on every mode, it's awful.

Just had a couple fun games with some OcUK/TFU people on the 32man TFU Rush server, lots of fun, shame i have to be up early for work!

Jock · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:02

Same, been on the TFU Rush server tonight and had some good games.

Yurka · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:09

the negative mouse accel is annoying. Anyone tried turning raw input off, does it make it any better?

Strife212 · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:12

Seine crossing is appalling, actually one of the worst maps I've played.

I think it's fantastic!

Just had an email from ASDA telling me that after all their promises to deliver it for the 28th they have run out of stock and cancelled my order... I have had it on order for a week, brilliant!

Gone to Zavvi to get it for 1.70 more, but it wont even be dispatched untill the 28th... So no way I am getting it for launch now, unless I go into town but then I will be paying almost £5 more at least than my original pre-order.

Sigh,

dakaiez · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:15

Just get it from greenmangaming.

Could be playing it tomorrow, unless you really need a physical copy.

If you do then try shopto, should (don't quote me on that though) get it for release.

Or http://www.greenmangaming.co.uk/games/shooter/battlefield-3-limited-edition/ and play it as soon as it's downloaded

FutileBreadMachine · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:20

Just played for 2 hours or so. As others have said:
Maps are too small.
Games are too fast and frantic (COD syndrome)
Servers lag.
Game crashes every 2nd game.
So far no teamwork. Only one guy ever dropped me health. I drop it or ammo automatically any time my teammates stand still in case we come under fire.

BF:BC2 seems like the better game at this point IMO. That was also pretty bad at launch though, so I really hope things improve with BF3.

I was only paying £25.17 from ASDA though

As for using a download service... They are more expesive than the physical games, and I prefer to have the boxes for games for some reason (I still dont understand)
