I had that yesterday when i loaded into a server for my first match on it. I thought i had accidentally joined a hardcore server at first until i asked a mate i was on the server with if he had a hud, could see the objectives etc. Ended up having to restart the game to get it all back.

I ended up running into a moving vehicle hoping it was an enemy one. Glad it was, but then the Deploy screen wasnt there, apart from a few vague lines, so clicked where I thought it would be and thankfully it was ok after that.
 
Can't bind any of my extra mouse buttons.

The mouse scroll weapon select annoys me too! Annoying that I can select a grenade or knife even though there is already another seperate grenade and knife button.

Too many times I've been trying to drop a medic kit or defib someone and I accidently throw a grenade at the ground! :p

I have no issues launching from Origin. It starts when I boot anyway, and I can open Firefox, find a server, and be loading in within about 20-30 seconds. Much faster than BF2 or any other game I've played.

I'm glad I'm not like some of you and let little things like that put me off a GOTY contender.

EDIT: That sounded a bit harsh, what I mean is that I'm fairly easy going with stuff like that :)

which is why i said you NEED to load origin first and not do it the way i did which was to load chrome (opera is my main browser and i only used chrome to play BF3 !) and have battlelog as default page, then search and launch game... but i didnt load origin first as i dont just play BF3 and use my pc for other things.

Also you need to get an SSD if your load times are slow or its annoying you.

on campaign i have no load time problem or lag. its not the speed of the HD (i use f3 spinpoints) its the out of sync load ups that leave you on an almost blank screen waiting for it all to sync up and in some cases not in the right resolution? then ALT-TAB sometimes brings the game up.

imo the Browser->Client->Server->backend Server-> is just overly complicated and is just not slick enough at the moment.

it IS a pure console game and if you remove HBAO and some of the visor and blur effects its not nearly quite as impressive on multiplayer and although campaign looks incredible with it all switched on it the myriad of effect they overlay on something that looks about as good as mirrors edge but with more jaggies and poly gaps. id liken it to "Call of Mirrors Edge"

it can still look amazing on certain bits but larger online maps have the weird shadow draw, poly gap flicker, jaggies, low detail distance etc.. looks rather crap and its clear that scale form engine has to be cutting so many corners to get it all on screen.

My lad just had a blast with the DAO and at the end he was looking at the upcoming unlocks etc ..... and it said something along the lines of "YOU MUST BE AN EMPLOYEE OF DICE TO UNLOCK THIS ATTACHMENT"

wtf !

ZO-MY-GOD!!! I can't believe I almost cancelled my order, but so glad I didn't!

The graphics with everything maxxed out are simply stunning (especially in the campaign which I'm finding to be excellent a real suprise considdering the ign and gamespot reviews, some of the missions are incredibly engaging (the first jet fighter mission = the best fps moment of my life so far)).

AND with all the eye candy, which far outshines anything the crytek engine has ever done, I'm sitting solid on 60 fps at 2560 x 1440.

Amazing, well done Frostbite!!!

so your a graphics whore then - shame the actual gameplay is verging on average.
 
Something about this game I really cannot put my finger on it, I just haven't warmed to it. I should have been dying to play this when I got home from work today but I just can't be bothered.

I think it may be the hit registration, I don't think it's that bad but as call of duty as this sounds, I would like some kind of noise when I hit someone like a small tap noise or something.

The maps are very boring and all feel the same, but it has to be said how well optimized the game is. I run it at medium settings and it still looks great whilst retaining a smooth 75 frames per second with v sync on.
