This is a joke. have logged in and out of Origin to try and get the End game patch downloading and now it's telling me I need to download TWO patches! One is running at 33kb/s and the other at 15kb/s! At this rate I'll be playing at the weekend!
 
Currently getting 729kbps on my other rig, 2.5gb completed of a 6gb update. Ill still have last weeks 6gb patch and todays update to go after that.

  • Turn off your PC
  • Turn off your router leave for 30 seconds, then turn on your router
  • Turn on your PC
  • Sign into Origin
  • Pause or stop one of the downloads
  • Check the Download speed
  • If no improvement contact your ISP and Origin/EA

That list is almost pointless, but it's better than nothing! :p

It's running much better now but still only around 40% of what my line can support.
 
Not a fan of this new DLC at all. Too vehicle-heavy. I like maps where infantry and vehicles are relatively balanced, like vanilla, B2K and AM.

And Dice are taking the p*** with these patches. This game must be taking up close to 30GB by now! My SSD is only 120GB!

Same, having a nightmare trying to get this reinstalled. Updated the version on my 2nd rig earlier. As it's a non premium account it's a lot less in size than my main account. 24gb vs 34gb. Trying now by pasting the 24gb file into my origin bf3 folder. Then loading up origin and starting the download. Popped onto cq247 just now, playing with an 8800gt, cripes it was ugly lol, got kicked via pb though as it too needs updated on that rig.

A pointless post.................:p

If your ISP is BT or uses BT Wholesale then don't turn your router off unless you really need to.
 
Can't really decide whether I like this DLC yet. I do think the levels are great but when it comes to CTF I think it has it's pit falls. The Nebandan flats is far to open with very little flanking options available to CTF and you just get completed pasted as one team just ends up defending and you can't get in let alone out.

Pipeline is the opposite tho. I love the map I have been wanting a proper snow map for a while. Plenty of ways to sneak up on foot to grab the flag and escape on a bike.

I haven't spent enough time on it to fully criticise tho so over the next few days and definitely the weekend I am sure I will get a better footing and understanding of these maps.

As a side note I would love if they included the option to have day light fade and night start as that would be a cool dynamic. Maybe in the future.
 
Have to say, I'm loving tdm. Feel sorry for the guys having download issues though - came down inside an hour for me. Bet they hosting the origin files on the Sim City servers or something equally retarded.
 
Sorry for the guys experiencing issues with the download and patch too. It worked for most.

Any one use a flight stick for flying Jets??
 
I was wondering what mouse you guys use? Ive got a basic one and was wondering if a better one would make a difference in game? Its something i always wanted to sort out but have never done so and now feels as good a time as any

Thanks :)
