Bugs galore today.

One really annoying one, was I was still alive, but for some reason it had gone in to kill cam mode, so I was looking at the enemy in 3rd person mode, yet I was still alive becuase on the mini map, I could move around.

I basically just got my self killed to respawn. Happend twice. :(
 
Had some fun games this evening. Best bit was when I fired a SMAW round at a chopper on the Canal's map and it hit a guy who was just jumping out, straight in the chest. Good kill, good kill :p
 
I really hate this retarded unlock ssytem, unlocking the same crap over and over and over is really grinding. You could literally open a store selling weapon sights and attachments.:rolleyes:

What do you feel it is missing from bf2? I'm struggling to think of anything really. The squad stuff is simplified but I wouldn't say its worse. I'd say the infantry based combat is better and the game is a lot easier to pick up and just have fun too IMO.

When you ignore the nostalgia that Bf2 has around it there were a lot of things that could be improved IMO, bf3 has nailed a lot of them!
 
Game is looking really good on Ultra. Had a full 3-4 hours session completing the campaign, to see how my new rig would cope. Brilliantly I must say. Very stable, very quick, and I think I'm running older drivers (11.8). Definitely happier without MSAA, 60-150 fps, and haven't unlocked or overclocked the GPUs yet.

Good boy!

They just need to release some larger maps for us pc folk and tidy up the bugs. Lets hope they are working on it. The maps do seem way to small when you are on the recon class
 
ESN Sonar malarky is starting to annoy me now. Soon as I load up Battlelog I always mute both speakers/microphone. The sound quality is awful too!

Your right but it's hamstrung by the maps imo.

Yeh I wouldn't argue with that! I've not memorized which map is which yet so can't really go into it further!
As a general rule I like that there is a lot more cover when on foot. This combined with being able to blow holes in everything's is made of epic win :D
 
I have made some headway in mapping my joystick at least, after downloading the latest drivers the buttons are now at least recognized. Can someone please tell me how far in to the campaign the flying is?

It's in the first few missions, not very far. You don't get to do any flying though, just gunnery.
 
Yup. You fire the cannon, the heatseekers, and paint targets with a laser designator. I think DICE missed a trick there, but it's still a pretty neat mission.
 
Quick one for those who have a Xonar DG and experience frequent lockups and disconnections (EA Game Manager saying "You have been disconnected from the server!" try disabling GX from the Xonar control panel
