Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Thankfully I've been drinking tonight but just gave up on a game of Rush, defending team. Watched as my entire team rushed off to attack leaving bomb sites unprotected every time. We lost many times and badly.

'El' geezers were on the attacking side and it goes to show, if you work together for the common objective you win. If not, you get mega bum bashed!

Just had some more great games on Smogsy's server, my server of choice now i think.

32 player games are just much better and there is some good teamwork going on as well. The last game was massively unbalanced though on Tehran Highway, i think the opposing team were just running around doing nothing tbh. Also in the Canal map i was just racking up kills with AT mines placing them on the ledge above the container capture point, the opposing team tried every time to run a tank/jeep over the edge straight on to the flag!!

Just unlocked the IRNV for the scar, not even going to use it, REMOVE IT NOW!!! Though i think i shall stick to the SCAR as i have unlocked a bit for it now.

It has all clicked now, it is always the same for me in mp games i start off bad it as i learn maps/equipment etc but now it has clicked i am enjoying it much more and playing a lot better. It also helps that i get much better FPS now as well.

As long as you got the limited edition it's included. That's what sets it apart from the "normal" version.

If you have the Limited edition you will have a key already(retail) or an email i believe when it is released with a digital copy. Otherwise i think it is something like £12

thanks very much for this, ive finally got the same name on origin as most of my forums names!

Ahh, does anyone know how to get the game to install using the discs? It keeps trying to download it. And when I stopped it and turned my PC off as it was taking too long and had to leave, it started again!

Bubo · 9 Nov 2011 at 23:47

Do people with the non limited edition get the back to Karkand graphic in the "filter by" bit of the server browser? I have the limited edition and I have this graphic so am hoping this means it is ready and waiting for when it is released.

Pighardia · 9 Nov 2011 at 23:50

Actually if you have the Limited edition it looks like Karkand will just be added anyway, so no need for a code. I just looked inside my box and it says "Your BF3 Limited Edition serial key entitles you to the upcoming expansion pack at no extra charge. You will be notified in-game when Back To Karkand becomes available"

So does this mean Origin will detect whether you have the Limited edition and then download it for you?

It looks like it's downloading but it's actually installing off the disc. At least that's what it did for me, the only way I could tell it was was that it said my download speed was 11 MB/s.

Yeah, that's what it says but it is going at 700kb/s and when I take the disc out, it carries on downloading. Apparently a lot of people had this problem.

[EDIT] Yay! I restarted and now it is going at 11.1MB/s.
