Battlefield 3 freeeee

BF3 is a great game, I had since launch and enjoyed it loads. BF4 didnt woo me with the beta and never really picked up after that.

Doesnt work for me right now, trying to setup it up for a nephew. bf3 offer expires tomorrow looks like

I already have BF3 Premium

The mouse difference is amazing I can finally dragshot people and it actually works. I was talking to one of my wOOkiE-clan friends about it the other day, in BF3 he gets around 80 kills 0 deaths every round, in the last BF4 game he got about 3 kills and 30 deaths hahaha.

Anyone else having problems doing the Quick Connect on the Web page and constantly getting

Error
Found no game matching your filter settings. Please try again or change your filter.

yet i have every map / player count / just bf3 no expansions ticked in the settings.
just cannot find me a game at all, been really enjoying it when i can get online

Set server count specifically, ie 32 for 32 player servers etc. If you leave it on ALL it just doesn't show any.

just finished the sp campaign [don't do mp hence why i didnt buy it originally]

-better plot than bf4 by a significant margin [as in, there actually was a plot]
-longer sp than bf4 [showing a sad general trend in good shooters these days]
-pretty good looking and performing, even without mantle
-i liked the russians being the good guys for once

Downloaded and installed this today with the free offer

Must say having played the single player campaign for an hour or 2 i have enjoyed it more then bf4 for some reason.

The BF4 singleplayer campaign was dreadful, I only completed it for the multiplayer unlocks.

Anyone having a problem with Origin password recovery?

I haven't used Origin in years, so forgot my pass. When I request a password reset email, it takes 6+ hours to deliver, by which time the password reset link expires!

Super annoying :mad:

[edit] IGNORE, just worked now. The magic of OcUK?

Had the same problem the other night. Haven't used Origin for ages and couldn't remember my username/password. Managed to get in eventually.

Why do lots of people dislike BF4 and prefer BF3?

Arent they the same game engine and the same gameplay, just new maps and singleplayer campaign?

Basically BF 3.5, the same as BF5 is probably going to be BF 4.5 etc

Because the game has been out for 8 months and its no better now than when it was first released. The beta was more accurate and they ruined the full release. I'm fed up of not being able to kill people and being shot behind cover, its a total joke and DICE clearly done care with EA not putting on enough pressure to fix it.

With the release of CTE (Community Test Environment) it just goes to show that the full release which everyone is playing is still in beta. To this effect, I would have suggested the initial beta was actually an alpha.

BF3 is what BF4 should be like. It's clean, accurate and actually fun to play in comparison. BF4 is the biggest cause of mechanical keyboards going through monitor screens

Pretty much this. BF3 and 4 are on different frostbite engines BF3 on FB2 and BF4 on FB3.

played a lot of BF3 until the BF4 beta turned up, once again just couldn't get on with it and for some reason haven't touched either since, in fact i don't even think i got origin installed anymore

Wasnt any good at BF3 but had some of the best moments on it

That is just it though. BF3 required kill and more finesse where as BF4, you could kill someone with an MX4 1/2 way over the map. There was no skill compared to BF3 which made the game a bit of a joke really.

The recoil and bullet drop in BF3 is far superior compared and for me, makes the game more enjoyable. These aren't the only factors, but the biggest difference other then the fact you get a hit reg!!

Grabbed this to give the campaign a blast and test my mad FPS skills on PC.

chanjy · 2 Jun 2014 at 09:57

Hmmm will go and install this again tonight then for the fresh meat

TBH it's a bit wrong but I enjoyed Metro and Close Quarters maps way more than the big open 'typical' BF maps.

Ransom · 2 Jun 2014 at 14:02

leveling up seems to be on the slow side or am not really that bad at fps these days lol

quite good at ploughing fields with the nose cones of the jets

I couldn't reset the password through automatic email either. I waited for ~20 mins on live support and a nice Indian lad sent me the reset link manually, as well as offering a 20% discount on the next purchase.

seen a lot of hackers on BF3 since this went free. I haven't really played since BF4 came out, but a friend got it and so I went back. This was the worst botter I encountered:

Reported him, but he is still playing, and looking at his reports still aimbotting.

This kills the game for me, but other people seem to not bother getting killed multiple times through walls from across the map....

Blimey, can't ever recall seeing anybody with a score like that when I was playing BF3 and I played quite a bit.

It was bound to happen with the game being given away for free, just have to hope they get picked up by PB, eventually.

dbilsborough · 3 Jun 2014 at 15:01

seen 3 definite cheats and a few other suspicious deaths that might just have been lag. That one above was the most blatant by far. One other was headshotting with a pistol even if he was facing away from people :/

A lot of hackers turn the cheats off when you challenge them in game, and it confirms they are hacking when they turn from gods to scrubs mid-game....
