The single player for BF3 is garbage. You don't need to play it to know that.

Cmon man that statement does not even make any sense. Play it, finish it, render your own opinion. Not one of some random video review you watched on the internet.

I also thought the SP was fine. Bear in mind for all you young ones out there, BF games never had a SP at all. They literally released the game with MP and that was it. So the fact they had one at all is a bonus.

How does it not make sense? I played it. It's garbage. Granted, that's my opinion. But I don't see how anyone could have bought the game for only the single player and expected it to be any good.

And that's the way it should have remained, too. The single player was completely un-needed. The time making it was time they could have invested into creating more maps for release, instead.

You not playing the game and forming your own opinion doesn't make sense. Granted the SP was short and a bit too easy but still, enjoyed it but no replay value. Also, your logic for them not making more maps on release because of SP development is flawed. If anything the game just would have more maps created for later map packs imo, not to be included for extra value seeing as MP is BF3's strong point.

If they would keep showing those awesome single player trailers, I, for one, am bound to get one.

Not literally, I mean

And besides, NOT EVERYONE buys games for MP. True, that buying Battlefield 3 was mainly because of MP, but I have always wanted to play SP in first person shooters, no matter what.

I've always wanted lengthy SP campaigns for first person shooters (which is now only a dream), but I enjoy SP and I would like it to be there if I'm paying the money they are asking for.

And this game' SP was fine

Not sure if it has been mentioned, if so apologies for the double post but I do feel this is worth mentioning again actually, but BF3 is currently on sale on Origin today only for $29.99

I am guessing one would have to install Origin first to see this deal.

Damn good deal, for anyone who was waiting for a price drop, here it is.

I actually picked it up as soon as 12:01am hit lol. You didn't need to have origin as you could just go to the origin website. Amazingly enough EA was selling the physical DVD copy for $29.99 as well. I was able to combine the discount with my $25% birthday coupon which turned into a 20% discount (no bday code apparently) and I got the game for $24. Definately a good damn buy. Even factoring in the cost of buying the back to karkland map pack, i'll come out cheaper than getting it for $60.

I read the reviews, then I did something crazy, I played it all the way through, despite most reviewers not even managing that, then I sat down and thought to myself.

Conclusion, not bad, well made, fun, only draw back was the story was a little generic, then I thought but its only generic cause ive played so many damn COD games.

Also they did make more maps.... Back To Karkland?

Nice, enjoy the purchase. I did a very similar thing when I got my birthday code, used it on an already existing sale, it is the way to do it. Again, good score, and enjoy. (Y)

It's Karkand god damnit!

Whoa did anyone notice the servers have queues now? Nice!

Yep noticed that last night too. Nice touch, I love how Battlelog can be updated without a client-side update. Might be nothing, but my BF3 does seem to be less stable now though. Tried playing late last night and game kept crashing while trying to load the level. Same as I mentioned in a previous post, but now on every other join, instead of just the first join. Quite annoying.

Sorry new to Battlefield

FTR I do not think it was directed at just you, throughout the thread people have been calling it Karkland. I think you were just the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. But Karkand is to BF what dust is to Counter Strike basically, even though I do not think it was a generally liked overall at dust, it is definitely synonymous with BF2.

Holy crap! They just added something that their previous games, and most modern games have already! Revolutionary!

Still lovin' Battlelog and Origin. DICE have really outdone themselves by giving their fans unrivaled usability and function in their interface. And to think that they're even adding more, still! It's confounding - I know.

I also have very high hopes that Karkand will be updated to fit Battlefield 3's new gameplay style like a glove. I mean, who wants to be spread out thin with ten control points when you can be clusterf*****d with three!

There is no AA Gun on the ship in canals. I checked around for it and didnt find it. for the 360

My guess would be it is only in certain game modes, such as Conquest. Did you try all of them or just one specific one?

I couldn't see it on Rush or Conquest...again 360, so maybe its a PC only cause of the extra players.

I saw a post a page or two back about queues on Xbox 360? What day & time were you playing? I'm curious because I have never seen a queue message.

Can't remember, I get them very rarely as I'm normally playing with friends and so head for servers with only 16 or so players...thus you don't need to queue.

But I've definitely had them.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
