A quick question.

I'd rather play in a squad if possible but sometimes I cant, join, there'll be loads of squads with 4/2 and public but if i click on them it says no slots available. What am I doing wrong?

Sometimes people put the squads are on private and sometimes the games bugged it just won't let you join a squad
 
You have to click "leave squad" then click the partially-full one, and a tiny "Join" button comes up
 
Has this game sorted out the bug whereby when hyper threading is enabled on the CPU it can cause the game to stutter.

2600k here and there are a lot of others in the same dilemma.

Maybe its just them servers? I can always find servers that are full.

Unless you have about 8 people to get it started its very hard to fill a full server in my experience :(

CoD4 is in no way an 'all time great'. Its quite fun , sure, but there are many many better games than it out there.

well lets just look at cod 4

great comp scene not as busy as when launched but still very big at time
mods wow the amount of great mods endless
full server support control
gameplay sorry wipes floor with bf3 for close up action . everything works as should
still looks pretty decent on highest settings and is mega fluid with it

also name any recent game that had as many sales players servers and a whole package ?

its the last monster fps game tbh which had the whole package.

bf3 wont have the comp scene will remain buggy wont have mods say no more tbh.

You are correct ;) Play for Team-GBH at the moment although we'v not played much this year.

Our server is up and running but we havent bothered trying to fill it, wont probably renew when it runs out :(

*put the round start to 2 but we got bored after about 10minutes and went to play a real game

Not even been bothered to play it for the last week as the whole netcode / bulletreg / hitboxes issue is a total joke. I can't work out how in some cases it can take, say two bullets to kill an enemy in one moment then almost a full mag on another. There's no consistency in it at all. I really want to like it more and it has many great things going for it but for myself the above reason is practically a game-killer for me.

This is the biggest problem I've had lately, some servers are fine though...

well of course it does, come on you have to be blind to not notice the vast amount of nerfing to the core gameplay mechanics even when compared to BF2.
The game is pure trash, and im grateful Skyrim came out when it did

Of course Skyrim isn't a console port... I've played BF3 on both consoles and PC and the game experience isn't close to being the same.

I couldn't stand CoD4 MP, just found it dumbed down basic DM with a load of pointless rewards. It actually killed online gaming for me for quite a while. I kept playing CoD2 and BF2 PR for a while but the servers soon dwindled. BF3 has potential to get me back into things, but as a now casual player it can be soooo frustrating playing round after round with no decent teamplay. I haven't bothered with it since last weekend :(

Spot on, BF3 maps have got old after a week because of the linear clustered design that in noway supports 64 players well at all. What we have is maps that are more catered for rush and 24 players than conquest and 64. If Dice were not rushed to beat MW3 out they might have designed the maps like they did in BF2 that properly caters for the varying player size.

One look at the squad management is enough to see that PC got a major lack of attention during development. Hopefully all this can be corrected by Dice in patches.

You've hit the nail on the head there

I doubt that the fact that the maps don't scale is down to the consoles. It's down to how god damn rushed they were. Had they taken more time we would have seen maps that scale better and more of them. Even COD with its map pack sales juggernaut launches with 16 maps.

The reason the maps are how they are. Is not because of some technical limitation imposed by the consoles
