I got points tonight for vehicles running over mines that I'd planted a few deaths back... first thing I do after a spawn is get the mines laid....

Shame there isn't an auto balance feature.. have been on a few servers where is 25:15 and you just get pulped!

Anyone else think this game could have done with another 3 or 4 months of development time? Pretty obvious at this point EA just made them release it early to ding MW3's sales. Some of the flawed stuff is so jaw droppingly obvious it beggars belief how it could have got past internal testing, which its safe to say at this point was virtually non existant. That tv missile video raven posted is a prime example of obvious glitchy assets making it through "testing".
 
Four of us with stingers cant bring down a chopper before they can repair it and keep going mid flight. :(

Stingers are now worthless, it was bad enough bringing down aircraft pre-patch when they had flares and stealth, now its pointless even trying.

Apparently at Dice the idea of fixing something is to totally destroy something else. :rolleyes:

They need to reset the stinger damage, and either make flares take longer to reload or make the stinger missile travel faster Otherwise wtf is the point of having them in the game? Just so it can set alarms off while pilots laugh knowing it has a snowballs chance in hell of connecting, and even if it does they can just fly away and regenerate their health (another amazing addition).

Anyone else remember when it was revealed on battlelog about the regenerating vehicles dice stated it would only regenerate light damage? Since when was 50% "light"? Apparently in cuckoo land, aka Stockholm Sweden it is..

Game is rushed no doubt, and all in an effort to steal sales from MW3, something I doubt they even achieved looking at the sales figures.

If this game had another 6 months work on it I'm guessing the PC version would have got the stuff that came standard with past battlefield's like proper squad management, a squad leader that is not useless regarding commands, a working commo-rose, a UI that supports a mouse better than a joypad and all the usual stuff like maps that support 64 player better, in game ping, VOIP, battlerecorder, spectator mode and of course way less bugs.

I hope Dice truly support BF3 and make it the true PC game it should be.

the at mines last ages maybe forever. no the new ones seem to coexist with the old ones!

SO if playing rush you coudl plant loadsa claymores all round the m-coms if your defending?

Claymores are actived just by infantry right?

Why dotn people do this tactic.

You could plant loadsa claymores all aroudn the m-com

Do you get extra dog tags for extra service stars? I've three stars with the M416 but haven't noticed any new tags. Or do you just get it for the 500th kill?

Yes you get a do tag that counts how many kills youv had with said weapon. Forget what it's called though. I'm not sure if there's any further unlocks down he line but Ive seen folk with 40 star weapons.

Physicull -- unlocks won't take very long. I'm level 46 and it's basically done bar the recon class which I really am not looking forward to doing. Recon sucks compared with BC2 as guns aren't particularly deadly up clOse like in BC2 so promote hanging back, which just bores the bejesus out of me.
 
Getting a really strange problem that i cant find much about.

Just bought the game. Its letting me play quick matches, but not do the campaign. As soon as i click resume campaign it stalls. The makes a pulsing sound noise and screen stays black. The mouse still moves fine. Have to end program via task manager. Its let me play the campaign once. Graphics card is quite old - 4870, but has let me play once on medium settings and was fine, so doubt its that?

Any ideas as online is impossible when you need practice. :(
 
I just had a really good game on the TFU 64 man server, had something like 46 kills and 15 deaths and was 2nd on my team, but Battlelog didn't up date with the game report, and hasn't for the last 2 days. Why is this? is it bugged? I want to check out the report.

The reports sytem does seem to be bugged, ive had a lot of games where the report just doesn't show up.

It's a shame because the engine is clearly excellent :(
