You can do all of that but the question is, will you lose your progress? It says that any unsaved progress will be lost. I'd hate to lose whatever experience I gained simply because I quit the game at a moment where my progress wasn't saved.

nope as long as the round completes you shouldn't loose experience or at least i havent.

I really don't get why people have been calling the campaign crappy. I just finished it, and I really liked it. Of course I've played better campaigns (Like Crysis 2's) but it was not bad at all.

Yep. It was not great and had quite a few flaws but IMO it's not as bad as some make it out to be.

Haven't read all the posts here so my apologies if anyone else has posted this comment:

The only thing that annoys me about BF3 is that stupid Origin application and Internet Explorer being opened, sucking up resources. Why couldn't they just build all that into the game's interface? Make it simpler instead of having 3 programs opened (Origin, IE and BF3).

It doesnt suck up resources, the way Windows 7 works it allocates resources according to what needs them, so if your game is in the foreground fullscreen it will give all the resources to the game.

I see...Interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know.

Anyone here owns that Battlefield 3 Game Guide? If so, is it worth getting?

What do you mean? You can change the weapons in the main screen where you pick the place to spawn. Keep in mind that many weapons are class specific, eg, RPK is only for support and SVD is only available to recon. Also, the very first weapons (AK, RPK, SVD, M16A3, MK11 etc) and faction specific, for example, AK is available only when being on the Russian side, but M16A3 - when being American. All further unlocks will be available to both factions though. But I think you will be able to use the weapons of the other faction only when reaching a certain high level.

Oh! thanks, I didn't know about that last point you mentioned.

Well, I held out just over 24 hours before I ended up wandering into HMV and picking up and LE copy. I applied to the Neowin platoon, but I don't really have a clue about anything yet, so I won't be playing MP yet :p

A little tip, btw.

If you're looking to grind coop for the unlocks, do so on easy. There is no benefit to doing hard other than a bit of a pointless challenge. Easy is much more fun, faster, and you get the same amount of points per run.

How the hell do you quit multiplayer on PS3? i've tried every button but can't find a way out? lol.

At the moment i need to wait for another game to start and quit that way, which seems a bit backwards?

Yeah, believe it or not, I do not think there is a way. It is the same thing on the PC, have to just sit there for like 30 seconds with your stats, etc.

I second this, after beating everything on hard for the hell of it, I've been beating my hard mode scores on easy. I would have thought that doing it on hard would offer more reward, but I guess not. I'm almost done, just need to unlock the G3 but to be honest after using it in the co-op it's really not all that great. Maybe it will be after the grip attachment is unlocked though.

The stuttering on this game is incredibly annoying. Me and my friend have found that it's nearly unplayable because of the amount of stuttering there is...

I get the stuttering too, but it only happens on the a few maps like Caspain Border and Operation Firestorm. It's not a low fps thing because I rarely dip below 40 fps.

It's quite frustrating because 9 times out of 10 it results in a death.

It's happening on all of the maps for me D:

That's when I can actually get my 5770 to go over a 400MHz clock...

    • Sony announces Bungie layoffs that will affect "significant number of employees"

      This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming

      Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in March, Sony increased PlayStation 5 prices, and now, it's Microsoft's turn. Today, the company announced a major price increase that will affect all of its Xbox consoles, and one storage option is being discontinued entirely. There is some time before the new prices go into effect. Starting on August 1, 2026, any Xbox Series X|S model with 512GB of storage will cost $100 more than now. The price of 1TB models will go up by $150 instead. At the same time, all 2TB models are being discontinued. "The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles," said the company. "Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make." As the hikes hit, Microsoft is beginning to offer more options to make its consoles more accessible to potential customers, including financing, buy now, pay later schemes, and refurbished options: Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments. Interest-Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control. Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players. Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP. Microsoft said that the rising cost of storage and memory prices is behind this decision, with costs going up by over 2.5 times since the last time it raised prices of its consoles. The company says these parts are expected to double in price by the fall of 2027.
