re flying....

i use arrow keys and AWSD. does this put me at a disadvantage to others using mouse / joystick / pad??

Pfft get it right its... WASD (wasd blasta)

Oh and the IRNV still seems OP in some maps at shorter distances

Highlighted is exactly why it ISN'T OP.

I tend to jump in random ones (16/24 mainly) and mainly Conquest. What game mode do you like so far?

Just launched Origin, the new patch is 3.9GB! Taking the **** aren't they?

As it includes Back to Karkand not really...

Usually jump on mixed conquest/rush, no bigger than 32 though

I find it much easier to play the smaller player maps, probably because I don't know the maps well. I prefer conquest, but I prefer it when there are no vehicles, just pure combat!

Morning

Weird thing happening this morning. When I launch BF3 and login to Origin its coming up telling me BF3 isn't installed and is trying to download 3.9Gb !
I originally installed from retail DVD, is this a known issue? Do I have to reinstall from DVD again?

Cheers

3.9GB is the patch I think.

Have they given any hints as to when the new maps will be available? Got bored of the game a couple of weeks ago so haven't been keeping track.

 

[leoncuprar]

looks like other people are having the same issue as me this morning according to posts on tomshardware forum.

3.9Gb patch... surely not .... I hope not anyway, I've only got a 10Gb month allowance on the broadband

It does?, I thought it wasn't available yet

 

[leoncuprar]

oh crap... looks like I'll blow my 10Gb limit this month then... nevermind !
More annoyingly I've got the day off work today and wanted to have a good sess but 3.9Gb will take all day to download...... misery

 

[sniffy]

We just can't play it yet :/ PS3 gets it early.

All this special treatment for specific platforms is rather lame.

 

[leoncuprar]

is there anyway I could download this patch at work and then bring it home and install it, to save my bandwidth?

My guide to farming Metro 64 player
1) Place a drone on the train track where located.
2)throw grenades from the escalator towards the mushroom cloud (take grenade spec so you can carry 2 grenades)
3) profit
btw the UAV isnt a must but its 10points for spotting +20 for motion sensor and it helps you to identify when theres a clustor just waiting to be ******

Why can't we see our own in game ping
