you sure it wasn't a night map?

Bubo · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:13

Game seems more stable for me, but the shotgun crosshair still likes to disappear of its own accord. Anyone know a certain fix for this, like graphic drivers or something? (580gtx)

Graphics seem a bit worse post patch for me

Again

hmm, that map looks fine to me using the IRNV scope

The Running Man · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:21

lol no the irnv nerf has been pretty heavy but also fair. i don't use it now as it isn't profitable to do so all the time like it was before.

Hmm, good FPS though!

Well it still takes me till the third time of trying to get into a game. First time it gives me the vague something wrong message, second time got disconnected from EA Online, third time I can get in. Normally not a problem but haven't been able to get into a couple of servers with friends because they're filling up whilst I'm fannying about.

anyone else got the bug where you mouse wheel down to select ya pistol, all ya team mates see you do the knife swipe animation and on your screen you see yourself pull out ya pistol fire one shot and instantly switch back to your main weapon? lol

No the enemy mines show up now

Wait, what? Seriously? Still patching but what's the point in having thermal optics now?! In conjunction with the disappearing mines (which would have been better served by 'maximum ten mines at any one time' or similar, and only if you get resupplied) they've messed up big time!

Why on earth do AT mines show up on the map now?

+1

they have completely ruined the engineer class

i just played a game where the enemy AT mines were clearly on the map...

and now AT mines only last 20 seconds after you die

still cant unassign the com rose from Q

oddjob62 · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:42

Agreed... even though i've not used mines (strange cos i loved them in BC2), i think what they have done is overkill. Mines/claymores should stay till they explode, but there should be a limit to how many you can lay.

The way they had it in BC2 was fine.

d_brennen · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:43

An hour has past and my will to play BF3 online has gone. Quake Live here I come

-Ad- · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:44

Someone over at Dice must have got some code mixed up.

They seem to have made mines homing beacons.

Please can someone notify them of this silly error.

Has anyone got any joystick recommendations for BF3? (Under £35)

I love the M3A1 Assault class weapon. Feels so right.

I always mix the m16a3 and a4 up, i always try to pick the full auto version, but sometimes by mistake i pick the burst fire version. Proceed to hold down fire only to fire 3 shots then think im outta ammo.

RavenXXX2 · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:59

Getting choppy knife kill animations. :mad:

TaKeN · 6 Dec 2011 at 23:00

I find the game now hangs for me when I quit

Although I prefer the playing field now the new patch is in force. I don't think enemy mines should show up! The chopper versus the jet is now more realistic.. and the tanks and heavy armor is easier to take out with the jet! Happy days.

fallbayuk · 6 Dec 2011 at 23:07

Ground targets don't show up in the jet radar now when you spot them?!? Is that a bug or intentional?

setter · 6 Dec 2011 at 23:08

It hangs for me for a very long time once i quit, eventually does go back to battlelog. Pre patch it was almost instant.
