Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Just finished first run SP, 10hrs and that includes being killed loads of times. To much like Black Ops. Short and limited. Not worth £40 tbh... Can`t comment on MM, because i don`t play online.

I haven't received any emails with a key for the free expansion from preordering? Is it in my origin somewhere?

Anyone experiencing longer loading times than beta?

Tell your team to go suck a dick. Only way you're going to learn to fly them is by... yes you guessed it. Flying them!

I thought I did due to in beta I was first in the vehicles, until I realised Dice had put a spawn delay on the vehicles. :eek:

You bought BF3 solely for the SP? :confused:

Get on MP!

Yeah i know, but there should be a way of practicing them. It's annoying really, as when others do the same i moan as theres no backup against the enemy choppers, jets.

But i will try and carry on practicing and annoying others!

SP finished. Was alright, better than I expected.

Now for MP - What is the best likely time? 7/8pm?

Is it or will it be possible to explore or practice a map on an empty server or is is like the beta and you are frozen to the spot until the round actually starts
I don't suppose there are many empty servers at the moment for anyone to know, lol

Havent had anything from the Jungle store yet.

My friend ordered the limited edition from asda direct for £27 and has got his. Not happy

Do you know if your friend got email confirmation prior to it being shipped, my order status is saying it's still on back order?

It looks like you will be frozen until enough people are on to start the game.

There might be a server setting allowing there to be less, meaning get a few friends on and try. I am not sure, i'll have a look at release when plenty more servers will be up.

Pretty sure it's a server setting that the round won't start until there's a certain number of players. You can set that number to 1.

Tackle_Berry · 26 Oct 2011 at 13:15

I don't see why you cant just create your own local server like BF2, best way to practise flying.

wolvers · 26 Oct 2011 at 13:15

Got our server up and running and wasn't one of the ones last night that was suffering from rubber banding last night.
