Servers are down for maintenance as far as I can tell. Pretty sure it's to deal with the hacked servers. And I haven't actually heard of anyone getting banned for playing one, too. They're just saying in the future if you decide to be a wise guy and hack in some way you can potentially kiss your entire EA account good bye.

Edit: I was wrong they aren't down for maintenance but they are down, reason "unknown". But I'll bet a dollar it's to deal with hacked servers.

Correct, rank 16.

So reading through the Battlelog forums today I've seen so many posts about issues that are already fixed. It's so hard to keep an actual feedback post on the first page so it actually gets talked in the spam of posts about issues that have already been fixed in retail and threads about how bf3 is a clone of CoD.

And this is why would be so nice to actually be playing an up to date version of the beta.

I have a few questions or hopes in this game... Ok, so it's Beta. Does that mean that right now, there are options and effects turned off? I have noticed that a lot of the cars on metro.. basically all of them, you can not cause to explode. I'm on the PS3, but I hope this is something that they have disabled for the beta, and will be a feature enabled on the gold. It also seems like there is less destructible environments, so I hope as with the cars, it is something disabled at the moment.

The game is still good, but this is the thing with "betas". You can't tell or judge from this, exactly how anything is going to really turn out. They leave too much unexplained. I just hope there is more happening in the final version.

They've also left out sounds as far as I can tell. To me it seems they've done this to make the beta as compact as possible. Like when you throw down an ammo box on the PC version the support class tells his mates that he dropped an ammo-kit. The assault class doesn't say a thing when he drops a med-kit. I've also noticed that using the spotter on teammates doesn't trigger your character to ask a teammate for a med-kit/ammo-kit. I REALLY hope that the latter will be added into the final version. It's something I'm really missing since not everyone's dropping med-kits/ammo-kits as they should be doing and asking them to drop stuff doesn't work. Plus the chat box all messed up currently so they won't be able to read it either. The chat box is a nother thing I'm hoping DICE is getting feedback about. They should add the team colours and squad colours back in the way BC2 had those colours in the chat box.

So you want to launch Battlefield 3 how without Battlelog? Battlelog is a great addition to Battlefield and after having it used, I wouldn't want to launch the game any other way :)

It works sometimes.

Love how you promote your clan with

And then just sit in a bush for half the game.

Lol.. if you know me and played with me you would know that I am the one constantly dying defending objectives.. even in this video I died running towards the objective to defuse it when I didn't have to.

The first objective was already planted when I joined the game and 2 of my guys were running there so I tried to clear out the area in front of B point so they could defuse otherwise they would have been killed (unfortunately I was too late so the objective blew up and they got killed).

The rest was trying to suppress enemy guys trying to getting to the other objective because where I was standing is where most of them run through. This is why I had so many kills. I was trying to prevent them from getting to objective which is perfectly valid tactic.

You see, teamwork and strategy doesn't mean everyone has to run for objective. There are guys who are close to objective and those up front keep the enemy from suppressing them while they defuse.

I'm certainly not a sniper ass who sits in the back of the map and just camps which is what a lot of people do. Camping is when you sit in the back, not even close to your objective and keep waiting to get a kill here and there. I was up in the front fighting the incoming enemies. There's a huge difference.

Also, I was on the point in the metro when they planted helping defuse as well. So it was far from camping.

This was a fun game, 19 kills killstreak. Ended up with 18 PDW ribbons at the end of the game.

Geez, I can't get over how much better the PC beta looks than the console beta. On the consoles the textures are so muddy that it's hard to tell the enemy from a tree.

I hope people will soon figure out that it is far easier to rank up by actually playing as a team, following/issuing orders, resupplying, spotting, healing ect.... than just running around killing. Just saying.

This time a million, first day are or so i was just doing assault and not healing or rezzing anyone, then the second day i i decided to run around with paddles out and throw first aid left and right, muuuuuch quicker, dont get me started on support, its ridiculous, just follow around the assault guys and drop ammo and profit lol.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
