lol. You clearly never played the smaller bf2 / special ops maps then.

and how many maps was that compared to the rest of the proper conquest maps. only got 9 maps on BF3 and majority are very small. only caspian, firestorm and maybe canals are big enough. and they arent the biggest either.

just feels like a console game 2 me.

No it doesnt. Stop being a derp.

You mean it wasn't what you expected, which judging by your posts was a reskin of BF2.

The reason BF3 doesnt have large maps like Zatar Wetlands did on BF2 is because nobody played them !! most servers took them out of rotation because they were too big and people got bored spending 5 minutes just getting from one side of the map to the other.
 
Pardon my ignorance, but BF3 won't let me play yet until the 28th. How are you lot getting around that?

read apge 962, vpn to asia

yeah there was a hacker on TFU server yesterday, Artificial_BF3, Lucky for good gamers, he got ****ed by Thegoon84, i meant banned

so what was you expecting? something similar to BC2/vietnam then i suppose? small cramped maps that when one team domiantes, they spawn rape for remainder of match....

I very much agree with you, its more badcompany 3 to be honest.

i do see some slight bf2-esque in the game but it just doesnt want to happen because the maps are too small, not just that but all the checkpoints are centralized.

You spawn on outskirts, fly in a heli for around 5 seconds then all the capture points are plonked all together in the centre.

They have obviously tried to make it intense but in my opinion this spoils the game.

lets see how it pans out with patches.

Also does anyone know why i keep getting connection lost to server error, every 10 minutes?
 
So I encountered a strange bug (or hack?) where the entire team just teleports to an area outside the combat zone... then you all die.

Anyone else come across that?
 
I was expecting an evolution of BF2 into something new.

The BF2 server list is dominated by servers playing 24/7 karkand - whcih didn't even have helicopters or jets.

Lots of servers removed the big maps like Zatar Wetlands and songhua stalemate because they emptired the server when they came on. Nobody wanted to play such huge maps because it took you 5 minutes of driving just to get from one side to the other

And if nobody gave you lift it would take you like 15 minutes +

try to switch off the UPNP n your rooter. firewall OFF, and make sure the anti_virus is not blocking the port, there is a big thread (Sticky) at EA UK bf3 FORUM, check it out.

even strike at karkand is bigger than some of the current maps.

There were many servers playing dragon valley and wake island 24/7.
 
The massive maps in BF2 were only fun if you were in a jet. For the rest of the people, it took you 10 minutes to get to a flag, get shot, repeat. These maps in 3 are big enough, but not too big. I like it.

Everyone should try Rush too, even if they're a BF diehard who refuses to play anything other than conquest. It's great fun when you get the right mix of people.
 
I'm going to HAMMER this from about 8pm tonight. Think I could get a good 4 hours in at least :p

was looking for you all over the place yesterday. Searched every server, every corner of the maps couldn't find ya.

Dude join today around 8 at TFU. See you there Comrade
 
Probably been mentioned, but does anyone else suffer the bug where you empty a ridiculous number of bullets into someone, then they kill you and their stats show they have 0% health? Yet somehow they're still alive. Hoping this is a bug rather than a cheat!

Also seen two people that looked like they had full-auto SMAWs constantly firing 1 or 2 a second, and a guy that could fire mortars non stop for the entire round!
