official Battlefield 3

[Dane]

its on the top deck right behind where the planes spawn.

I never took notice to it. I'll have to check it out later.

I am really getting sick and tired of this. The latest patch did not fix it. I am about to delete BF3 from my HD if this crap doesn't get fixed soon. very annoying.

Just for the hell of it; have you tried running BF3 in compatibility mode?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

The last client patch (Nov. 22) has really improved the performance of the game on my Radeon HD 4870. Aside from some random slowdowns, I get what feels like 30+ FPS on medium settings at 1680x1050. :)

Unfortunately though, the game has crashed for me twice while joining a server.

What OS are you running, 32 or 64bit?

[Alladaskill17]

yeah, battlefield 3 is very fun....but the ranking system sucks. Instead of stopping at colonel....it should have been Brigadier General, Major General, Lt General, General, and then General of the Battlefield of something of the sort, instead of just stopping at "Colonel Service Star 100". Colonel just doesn't have that cool feeling to it, like a General does.

Maybe they didn't want to see millions of "generals" running around the field ;)

[philcruicks]

back to the 2142 ranking system where the top player in the world got titled Supreme Commander!

[Gaffney]

Yeh I think the ranking system could be improved, it's very basic so once you reach lvl 46 your badge doesn't change. Should be more after colonel and colonel shouldn't be as large, 45 levels again perhaps.

In the army there is; Colonel, Brigadier, General and finally Marshal.

I heard PS3 owners are finally getting copies of Battlefield 1943. Is that true?

Apparently so.

What I want to know (and as I asked in Neowin's article) is if the voucher is only going to be available for that one day, or if it's available from that date onwards. I'm not going to be at my playstation for the next 2 weeks or so, so it would be sad if I had a chance to get a free game and missed the opportunity. :(

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Seems like its not a one-day only deal

European BF3 players will get hold of the freebie from November 26, while those in the US will have access from December 10, and those in Asia from December 17.

I played most of the SP missions and I just got tired of this. There is no interaction between the bots and It has crashed my machine twice. It really is a game with High graphic quality but really lacks in playability . I now will concentrate on MW3.

Er try multiplayer or co-op you may find that its the "actual" game.

He won't. He already set his mind that he doesn't like the game and that's Mech Warriors 3 ( :shifty:) is better.

He doesn't like multiplayer. Of any game. As far as I know

He bought both of them purely for SP

I may at a later date. And @Pupik MW3 is Modern Warfare 3. I never have a closed mind. I just have to find a setting that will work. I would at the present just concentrate on one new game and not two. I am 63 years old and playing these games is hard enough . :D I also may try MP when I build up the courage. I don't want to get owned.

Good luck with MW3 its single player is just as atrocious as BF3.

Well I am almost done with it and I find that it is OK. The Maps are better and since I started with the original COD I am used to the controls. I also have a problem with Nvidia's 28X.XX drivers. They keep timing out, even while I browse the Net. It became a hassle. My 460 does not like it.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

I havent touched the single player yet since i bought the game for MP :p

Since you haven't touched it, you shouldn't comment on it.

In my opinion, it was fine

Wow. It's awesome that you're playing video games at that age. A lot of people over the age of 50 will never touch a FPS game. I assume you have a capable gaming computer. Also, don't be too intimidated by MP in BF3. Sure, you may get owned but it's fun and that's what matters most. If you can kill the AI in the SP campaign then you sure as hell can kill other players online. By the way, what's your Origin username?

Even if your worried about getting shot up in MP, at least give Co-Op a go. With a half decent public team mate you can do the easy/normal modes fine and there a lot of fun :)

Also add me im Colicabdh on origin i think, can play some co-op or team up in mp

[trag3dy]

From what i read is that the SP in BF3 isnt even a full out legit game. Like they created it to show what the engine can do really, but the entire point of BF3 is multiplayer and I agree.

The major thing that makes BF games stand out is the Large MP maps and dynamics that NO other game has been able to reproduce.

I havent touched the single player yet since i bought the game for MP :p

I'm saving the SP for when my net gets shut off due to a storm or something and i have no choice but to play it :D

But judging BF3 based on the SP is just silly and you're missing the point.

I do like the SP campaign of COD games, but cant stand the MP. MW seems like the opposite of BF, like the SP is the strong point, while MP is too arcadish for me.

If that's the case then they are doing it wrong because the single player doesn't feature all the destruction that the multiplayer does.

Since you haven't touched it, you shouldn't comment on it.

Why? The single player for BF3 is garbage. You don't need to play it to know that. The only thing that kept me going was that I got a slight 24 vibe from it. Beyond that dieing a lot just so you could learn where the baddies are to shoot there isn't fun.
