I was thinking about getting a server for Battlefield 3 before I saw the prices. They seem expensive to me. £64 a month :( Don't pose anyone knows of a cheaper place do they ?
 
55 friends online and im only one playing! arghhh need teamwork! that UKCS server is a sinking ship now! gone right down the pan!

Why would you say that? :rolleyes:

Has it always been softcore? I could have sworn last time i played on there it was hardcore. I popped on earlier for a game but i dont think i can go back now ive got used to hardcore.
 
give ut a few months theyll be half that to rent

They wont be. At best you may get a few offers from the top providers but they wont half the cost. BC2 slot price never really changed, there were the odd 50p a slot offers but time limited. If you want a 64 man server then your going to pay £60 a month for a good few years yet.
 
I love Battlefield but I hate the unlock system.

Jets and heli's are something I'm not allowed to use, I don't understand the philosophy of giving experienced players powerful unlocks to unleash on new pilots who are just trying to learn to fly, never mind shoot at someone, I thought that with time I'd get a few lucky kills, but I won't.

At least in BF2 you could go "well he's better than me (or damn J10)" now I just think he's got weapons I have no defence against and advantages and experience that I've no way of getting.
 
Anyone getting crazy amounts of warping/rubber banding this evening? Been on two servers this evening, (ukcs and sas beer drinkers). Both were virtually unplayable.

what is warping/rubber banding please? I have had problems tonight but not sure if same as you.

cheers

I don't fly or drive any of the vehicles, but still have fun and enjoy the game.
 
Warping/rubberbanding is due to lag, often youll move forward then seem to get dragged back. Or youll see players flashing as they move, appearing and dissapearing.
 
Is the FAMAS gun any good ? I see a lot of people using it and I'm on the verge of unlocking it for myself.

One of the only gripes I have about BF3 is not having much of an idea of which gun has the best stopping power it was more easy to gage with BFBC2. I normaly use the SCAR as an engineer and have been happy using it but now I want to play as medic for a while.

FAMAS on burst fire is ridiculously accurate, so it's great for longer ranges. It's not as awesome at short rages but it's still pretty decent.

Quite a nice gun, coming from using the F2000. The standard aiming piece may be the single most infuriating thing I've ever encountered in an FPS though.
