I'm getting the following along the top of my profile page:

NOTICE Game disconnected: you were kicked by Punkbuster errors are beeing looked into right now.

Is this related to the server upgrades? Also, it's absolutely terrible English ..........
 
Just can't seem to get along with Hardcore at all. I've tried a few times but just get totally wrecked. I avoided it like the plague in BC2 too. It's not so much the triangles it's the increased campiness that does my head in.

There's an ongoing problem with PB kicking people for no reason, i'm assuming that's just the devs letting players know that they're aware of the problem and looking into it.

I know what you mean. That said I loved HC in BC2 yet I can't stand it in BF3 :confused:

People are much more careful in hardcore because of reduced health, its much easier to drop someone. So make sure you check your corners before moving out.

If you are more the run and gun type with less sense of self preservation then normal would be the mode for you.

I like both modes. I like the easy fun relaxed nature of normal. Because of the bad hit detection and the more realistic gun damage i like hardcore as well.

Definitely why i stick to normal mode, this game is campy enough without people being even more afraid of dying... the amount of times im playing rush and people are too afraid to play aggressive and charge forward is very annoying... that and ive never had an issue with the hit detection so i kill people in a 3-4 bullets in normal mode (not the half a clip people often complain about)

Currently i have moved onto squad deathmatch, none of that capping points lark, removes the totally overpowered and unkillable choppers and just simple shooting each other, while at the same time as its squad based on a small server its still slow enough and strategic enough to not just be standard deathmatch

thing is in hc because it only takes anywhere kinda aiming and damage is so high it makes more camp sit and watch corners. one of the main reasons i dont play hc very much.


on the aa article just shows how inept pb are and the joke that the cheating has got to. some stuff i known for ages just pees me off with the whole thing. sad cause it ruins peoples fun and the whole thing just comes down to money at end of day.

Bad hit detection? I never had any issues when looking for you in normal mode :p

Re: No explosive Metro.

Agreed it's not as good as it sounds, or at least not in the three rounds I played last night. It just introduces another way of playing the game and that's camping at a corner with a 200 shot LMG and spamming at enemies. Still good for getting service stars on the LMGs and Support class I guess.
 
So the nades are good for getting rid of campers, but annoying when they're used for everything else. Some people just love spoiling a round for others (the LMG campers you're referring to).

Mine is too, I have the B2K maps so I guess that would add a few GB's.

Pretty sure everyone's install includes B2K even if they never purchase so unfortunately there are wasted GBs there, as was the case with BC2 Vietnam. Ridiculous EA is allowed to do that really considering the limited space and cost of SSDs...

I found it was just hordes of snipers, and chokepoints you couldn't break because you couldn't toss a grenade in. I don't think it helps that its a 64 player server which makes it a cluster**** on Metro anyway.

Yep as i said yesterday. Its a good idea in theory but it never plays out like that. The explosives are there for a reason, to dislodge campers.

EDIT
