When I accept the revive and I stand up, I am unable to move/sprint away for a few seconds. Usually results in being killed.

Don't getup right away. Lay down till fully recovered, or try to crawl your way out of the fire.

It makes sense... You cant expect to get up and start running immediately after a deadly wound recovery.

There is a delay on how quickly you can sprint away from your current position. They said they were going to change that so that you had 2 seconds of immunity but one you started to fire at someone within those 2 seconds the immunity would go away.

Wow. Awesome SPM and W/L ratio.

Had the unpleasant experience of getting "banned" from a random server for merely being from Israel.

Are server admins allowed to ban people based on location ?

In fact, I'd very much appreciate if someone could help me out by pointing me to the BF3 support email or whatever, because I don't want to start a thread that WILL go political on their retard-infested-board.

Yeah, they're allowed to ban whoever they like. After all, it's their server. If they banned you for having too high of a ping and lagging or even for political/religious/"racist" reason, why does it even matter to you that much?

Can't you just play on the next server on the list? And why not play on a Israeli server? There's about 30 of them just by filtering servers with "Israel" in their name.

I'm not TOO bothered by it, and that's what I did, just skipped to the next server, I don't choose servers by location (despite the enormous ping advantages).

Still, it ****es me off that they're not allowing Israelis to play on their server, and I want to know if it's allowed -- not be asked why do I care.

You can get banned for breathing funny. Its up to the administrator of the server, independently owned, independently governed... Most servers maintain some form of rationality though and aren't ran by arses

Great! you got s source? I checked battlefield and battlelog blogs and nothing there.

But some some really good updates in there! No more Green flashes! woooo!

Does it take maps forever to load for anyone else? Every map I load up takes from 2 minutes to as long as 4 minutes to load... Is it a bug?

specs

AMD X4 955BE @ 4.2Ghz

8GB DDR3

HD 6990

Usually only the first map will take a while to load, around 30-45 seconds. But after that it loads pretty fast and I only have 4gb of ram. I don't see what that would have to do with loading times.

Back to Karkland is going to be like the BF2 maps right? I know Wake Island really well, might wait till the 6th to dive into BF3. Getting to learn maps in FPS games really slows down my enjoyment of them - I die too much :p Least it's manageable for me in BF, MW3 is just complete chaos, trading it in next week.

Not to poke at the PC players (as I used to be one) but the xbox loads maps in about 20secs... :)

No problem, I am a PC player, and I take no offense to that, since I can run the game at 1920 x 1080, change graphic settings at will, get 60 fps and play on 64 player servers, and what, Xbox players get 1280x1024, no AntiAliasing, 30 framers per second and 32 players?

So it makes sense you can load it faster on the 360, as it is a machine dedicated to just gaming, and yeah, not as many resources needed to begin with since it is a lower version of the game itself.

I would suggest you buy the game now, since you start off feeling a lot weaker than your higher-ranked opponents. If you play it now you could have access to a few of the good guns for your preferred class to get you off to a good start on Wake Island. It's a map I've always been terrible at though, so I hope my skills on it are better than they were on the Battlefield 1943 version of it. :p

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
