Hey guys, New to the forum! but looking to jump in a few games with you!

Will join the servers in the OP

Which one do you all mainly play on? and do you have a TS?

Am totally in love with these maps flying a viper on on any of these maps has been a pure delight! Has some amazing games too!

Think alborz is my favourite map of all time in any I've ever played! So beautiful and just feels so epic when flying around that bridge near US spawn is awesome! Love flying underneath it and thru it with the helicopter!

Make sure Upnp is disabled on router settings as it can effect all kinds of connection issues with BF3.

The AK maps are just beautiful and pleasent to look at. Though night map is too blue as if blue ink has been smudged across the map

I thought you were more of a jet guy rather than a heli guy..

They are the only maps which feel like the bigger BF2 maps. They seem to have succeeded where B2K somehow failed.

The new maps are definitely more fun with a decent and mixed squad.

OK, I'm convinced but I can't find AK on the Origin store :confused:

can I only get it through premium (surely not)?

Not out yet for peasants.

Regular release date: September 25 on PC and Xbox 360 (non Premium)

MoRT489 · 14 Sep 2012 at 07:59

yea but no preorder even :eek:

Any deals on Premium at the moment? It seems mental that you can buy the BF3 Premium Edition for £39.99 now on Origin and Premium DLC is the same price!

You can pre-order it but I don't think it is any cheaper to do it now.

i have been crashing to desktop since the patch with this .DLL causing the crash

nvwgf2um.dll

I had this argument with Raven many times.

The most popular maps on Battlefield 2 were Back to Karkand, Sharqi Peninsula, Mashtuur City, Gulf of Oman, Kubra Damn and Dalian Plant

Yes of course the other bigger maps like Wetlands, Oilfields and Songhua were played, but they weren't nearly as popular do to their huge size.

And the most popular map was a city map which shock horror kinda goes agaisnt the bf was

infantry only karkand run by clans made dice bring an infantry only mode in a patch. AK is alright, it brings something else to a map rotation.

BF3 will end up like BF2 map wise

Lots of servers playing the smaller maps only, and then some servers that run everything

I am loving AK at the moment! Some of the tank battles have been beyond epic - shame I only ever play by myself!

Hi guys, looking to update my drivers today but being on 12.3 i haven't done it for a while so just wondered what people seem to think is the best way of going about this without running into any issues? Im guessing uninstall via Add remove programs then maybe driver sweeper or Atiman (which i have never used)
