To be fair, I quite enjoyed it. They put a lot of effort in it.

I played the whole thing start to finish today, for some reason it really gripped me, really enjoyed it!

Is it just me or are the guns very similar?

Played on the OCUK server a little tonight and it was fantastic, I had some good games.... games RUINED by the games tendency to crash to desktop!. Completely killed my flow and my scores plummeted.

Hope they fix this game soon because its great when its all smooth sailing.

I thought I was doing pretty good on multiplayer until I joined that OcUK rush server and got my rear end handed to me!

I miss BF2.....this seems more like a BC2 mod with jets

You don't have to miss it, go play it.

go back and play BF2 and remind yourself of just how much BF3 has moved the game on.

You might appreciate it a bit more.

This is Battlefield, nobody cares about the single player!

Although being able to co-op with bots was helpful for learning to fly.

Co-op with bots? How did you manage that?

Wouldn't mind hooking up with someone to do this, hit me up on Battlelog, jmc777.

5 free dogtags:

Watch this trailer - http://actofvalor.com/bf3/

Get them at the end, trailer is nearly 4 minutes long, but you can just mute it and minimize until it's done.

Oh look a repost

Aedus · 3 Nov 2011 at 01:01

Ah, ****.

Missed those posts. Oh well.

toString · 3 Nov 2011 at 01:02

I missed it, so thanks anyway, free dog tags

The game runs amazingly well for me, I haven't had a single crash yet and I am playing on almost ultra settings, I get around 40-60fps and it looks amazing, that's on a phenom 955 x4, 8gb DDR3 and a 2gb 6950

My only problem is that I quite frequently get "lost connection to server" mid game and it boots me back to battlelog, Is that a common error that will be addressed or is it just me getting it?

I had my first play of BF3 multi-player on the TFU 64 man server today, 8 hours straight no game crash issues, 2 disconnects in which I just reconnected and was back playing in seconds and surprisingly only a little lag on a few occasions.

The only thing that bugs me about the game is the rendering on some of the character models it's very Team Fortress 2 like, gangley, ugly, mis proportioned physical characteristics, only some though but still not great on others.

Either my rig is making me lag or its the crappy game but I am stuck for 2-3 seconds at a time when it lags and it wasn't like this 2 days ago whats changed. :mad:

Just been looking at the weapons page on Battlelog and noticed that are a few unlocks for weapons that are limited to DICE employees only, e.g. Flash Suppressor for M98B Sniper Rifle. Very amusing, it says "you need to be a DICE employee".

Cue nerd rage!

Well had a 4hr bash with clan mates and ocuk server and the game truly is the best fps multiplayer around.
I wonder if 'weres ravens stats?' will become the next internet meme lol

Pighardia · 3 Nov 2011 at 01:42

Just played a few hours of SP, tank mission wasn't bad at all, though i have no idea what is going on.

God, Damavand Peak is bad!

Also, why the hell can we not have a separate button for the bipod?

Popped in the ocuk server on the hunt for Raven, :eek:
