Battlefield 3 Thread

Hmm. . been quite amazing BF3 multiplayer experience for me now.
But the only thing I haven't is good team play. All the Asian servers players are playing to unlock items :( . Of course its fun. . but I really wanna see the actual squad teaming up :)

I wish there was such a unity in players.
I had tried some teamwork with few players on I think the vehicle in Grand Bazaar and we performed well and didn't let the enemy near the flags.
I have started to have a feeling that in BF3 if you do teamwork then your chance of winning increases exponentially. :D
 
The MAV is great for conquest. Fly it up above the flag before taking it, see where everyone is, kill them, start taking the flag, and then put the MAV back up to watch where people are coming from.
 
Yeah that is what I'm waiting for. More buildings to destroy and less trees :)
When are the new maps coming out? What will be their size in MB?
 
We have game update!


  • Fixes an issue that caused downloads to go past 100% completion.
  • Users installing the Russian disk version of BF3 should no longer be improperly asked to insert disc 1.
  • Fixes a number of issues that previously caused the Origin client to crash.
  • Improves the performance of the Origin browser when loading flash-based applications.
  • Addresses a number of minor localization and user experience issues.
  • Adds the ability to download and install third-party games from Origin.
  • Improves the performance of the game update functionality.
 
I have been really tempted by this game but this origin stuff is really pushing me away from it, I found a info on the amazon.co.uk to check out amazon.de customer ratings on BF3, as the post said they take their privacy a bit more seriously and BF has 3464 one star ratings, check it out:

How have you guys found it? I mean I know you can just turn off all origin services when playing the game, or is that not enough?
 
Honestly, I was not liking the idea of the game been launched from a web based browser before but now that I have tried it, I personally don't think Origin is too bad...certainly not as bad as people make it out to be.
Its simply laid out and easy to find a game so that's all I care about really.

Shame they still have not fixed the crashing issue when joining a server for the first attempt, And fixing the slow loading times when joining a server. :/

This really grinds my gears, from what I have heard and read Dice went out of their way to create a perfect, well made game, and from what I seem to be hearing they did this and it is just EA and their origin crap that's making the game non-perfect and screwing up their efforts.
 
My game will crash in the loading screens between maps along with that launch crash deal.

On a different note, I just got my first helicopter kill in a tank lol, that was good for 4 kills I think.

I restarted Origin and it did an update, seemed to fix the crash for me. I also don't mind the in browser setup, can do other things while waiting to join a game.

I've monitored Origin with Process Monitor, just like those who claim that it scans your entire computer. So far Origin has only accessed the following things on my computer:
-the registry
-E:\Origin\ (where it is installed)
-C:\ProgramData\Origin\
-C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Origin\
-C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Origin\
-C:\Windows\ (mainly System32 and SysWOW64)
 
I found that just pulling up task manager and trying to maximize BF3 again usually fixes the problem. Need to do it a couple of times.
 
Guys,Not sure if you already know about this..But if anyone has any issues,Bugs or Ideas etc for BF3 make sure you report them in here because the BF3 team do monitor the forum and give feedback.

Apparently it is "Planned" to bring back the horn on the Jeeps!

I agree completely with Shane. I was dreading the web-based server browser, but it is actually better than some in-game browsers. The only thing I dislike is that you have to either close the game or alt+tab out to change dogtags or clan tags, however with that said, it is a double edged sword, because I love the fact that you can do it mid-game.

Apart from that and the fact that Opera doesn't like letting you join games as parties (which there is a simple work around for), it all seems to work fine.

Personally, I have had the game crashing issue only twice in all the time I have been playing


=EDIT=

they need to implement some changes in my opinion:


Point losses for team killers

The ability for server admins to put on reflective or shared friendly fire

Reduce the damage of RPG's on infantry, unless you have the explosion damage attachment thing

Increase the armour and/or health of helis and jets, or put the option in to be able to

Allow for jets to be repaired, be it via increased regen, a fly by as in BF2 or by landing and repairing

Increase the damage done to tanks by RPG's

Make ammo and health packs finite

Increase the time between being able to use the defibrillator as a medic

The ability to defuse or destroy mines without an explosive device (maybe a mechanic item?)

Reduce bullet drop

Increase attack heli rocket damage

Slightly decrease the reload time on heat-seeking misiles (it is currently equal to the flares. Being able to lock on, fire, have them pop flares, stay on their tail and rinse and repeat seems unfair to the attacker when they have displayed the skill to be able to stay on the offensive for such a long period)

Increase recoil on LMG's when stood

Make the chat box transparent

Reduce the armour and/or health of the AMTRAC

Remove cars as obstacles when in a tank

Increase spread, but also slightly increase damage of AA vehicles
