I've only played engi so far (cos I like to blow up tanks :D) but it's so ineffective I need to try something else (or go back to BC2 ;))! Time to try support methinks so I can bring some c4 destruction.

Weird choice to give c4 to support tho :confused:, it should be a special forces/recon/assault perk as it's not really suitable for someone who is supposed to be hanging back laying down covering fire plus I feel like noob using a gun with a 200rnd magazine!!

The Platoon's are pretty pointless... they do Jack**** apart from apparently representing them! Each platoon does show leader board stats within group. However with such a large amount of OCUK’ers it just doesn’t work.

There are plenty of servers to play on, just mostly all empty in the day… Except for ours ofc ;)

Which servers do most OCUKers join? Is there a list?

Same thing exactly with my mate and I haven't managed to sort it yet. Have you managed to fix yours and if so how please?

He didn't play for a week and then it came up with game isn't installed. Tried the repair install and reinstall patch and it still says the game isn;t installed.

Damn annoying.

Not managed to fix it yet, was very frustrated last night.

After everything else failing i uninstalled the game with the intention of reinstalling. Now it wont even download the game to install, just the same problem i was getting when the pathc wouldnt work.

Just gets stuck in a loop saying "Ready to Download" then "Preparing" then back to "Ready to Download". On and on and on....

Anyone know how to contact Origin support? All i could see on the help bit of Origin was FaQ's that were useless.
 
Tried out the shotgun today. Quite fun but got totally battered by anyone at longer ranges (obviously!). Was damn good on Metro though

Ah good good, I'm pretty sure that the fast respawn time has been doubled, but still quicker than the average time. Ticket wise i think its 250 normally, however we prefer longer in depth battle's the problem with 250 tick servers is by the time you start to get into the game the round ends.
 
Not sure where this comes from, was posted on another forums without link

A post on the Official Battlefield Blog brings word that the ‘Back to Karkand’ DLC for Battlefield 3 will be hitting the PlayStation 3 on Tuesday, December 6. The content will then be made available for Xbox 360 and PC players a week later on December 13, 2011.

Here’s a description of the content:

Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand is a huge expansion pack featuring four legendary Battlefield maps (Wake Island, Sharqi Peninsula, Gulf of Oman, and Strike at Karkand) reimagined in the Frostbite 2 engine. Three new vehicles (the VSTOL fighter jet, Desert Buggy, and an APC), ten new weapons that you can bring back to the base game, and a new layer of persistence with our all-new Assignments make this a must-have for any Battlefield fan.

If you picked up the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3 at launch then you’ll get this content for free. If not, you’ll have to fork over $15 (or the MS Space Bucks equivalent) to go back to Karkand.

There's one thing that absolutely enrages me about this game - if I can't spawn on my squad mate because he dies just before I can spawn or the jet is taken before I can spawn; then why the ******* **** ***** ******* **** does it spawn me back at base?! Just don't spawn me! Let me choose again!

FFS.

Even worse when there are no vehicles at base, its a nice journey getting to a capture point :mad:

Do you prefer or disliek destruciton? iS it good or bad?

when you think about it. Destruction makes maps different off course.

In old maps you would have set places to hide or to go to. With destruciton perhaps that sniping spot on the roof no longer exists as the buildign is blown up?

Perhaps all the nice pretty buidligns are just a bunch of debris? Its not very pretty.

Do you think Destruciotn enhances and improves the experience or is just aesthetic but ruins maps?

I mean its exciting to blow things up at the start of the round but later its borign to be in a map with big holes and debris everywhere

Destruction is great, its a shame that its not as extensive as bc 2. One of the problems with online gaming is that the maps quickly get boring and every good spot or hiding place gets well known. Anything which makes the battlefield dynamic and changeable is a good thing I reckon.
 
Dropped the slots on our server from 64 to 32 and the game plays MUCH better. The maps are far more suited to 32 people.

Never really been a fan of rush but it comes alive with 32 a side. Probably had my most enjoyable game ever even though we lost. Kharg Island. Every mcom was captured with seconds to spare, after being activated about 10 times each.

Last one was captured when the attackers had 0 tickets. :D
