I disagree with that completely. Every time I've used EA's customer support I've come out the other end completely and surprisingly pleased.

The two times I had to use their customer support they gave me a code to get *any* game new or otherwise for 50% off, and the other time they gave me a code to get a new or otherwise game for free.

Oh yeah, and they also solved the issues I was having quickly too.

Have you perhaps thought that maybe the fault actually does lay with you and not EA? That maybe your password was not as strong as you thought it was? Just putting that out there because it's not likely they hacked EA to get your info.

You must be lucky. I had two friends who bought the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3, only to find the key would unlock the standard version. Hours spent on live chat, only to be told that they had bought the wrong version and refused to see any proof. This issue was pretty public as well.. In the end they found an email address for an EA rep for our country who fixed things up.

Finally got my account back last night. I had to talk to a bunch of their service people, but eventually got in contact with an account specialist. Overall it was relatively painless, so no complaints here.

I also had my Battle.net account stolen, but I was able to get it back in literally 10 minutes. The people at Blizzard really know their sh*t, and EA should take a huge glance at how they run it. EA also badly needs an authenticator app like Blizzard has.

No, not my fault at all. My password was a mix of 12 random characters, so there's no way in hell somebody could guess it. It's a huge widespread problem and there are a ton of people on the forums and Youtube complaining about it. The trend seems to be that it's people from Russia stealing the accounts somehow.

So this is the guy that everyone hates.... I didn't find that entertaining at all, since this type of person ruins the game.

I don't usually find these kind of trolling videos funny but for some reason I found this one very amusing. Especially when kill knocks the snipers off the aircraft carrier.

Ditto, I never really could understand this "trolling" trend. Nearly EVERY game I join has some douche bag driving around with C4 on a jeep and they ALWAYS go negative. I had one the other day bail out a jet above me 4 times to try and C4 me and failed. The guy went 9/32 at the end of the game.

Then I join another game on Firestorm and about 12 players on the other team were all sat on the hill outside their spawn as snipers with another in the AA tank, oh and they had no flags at all. I find that's all what people seem to want to do in this game. Camp with a scoped rifle or messing with C4. I really can't understand people who select the Conquest game mode to not play it.

How big are the maps?

My friends download was 1.79GB, not sure why yours was smaller.

Are you sure, not to be rude, that you're not referring to the Multiplayer Update (not the actual DLC) that came out on the 27th? Xbox marketplace lists that one as 1.79GB.

Edit: the maps seem to be Back to Karkand-ish in size.

Yeah I think you're right. It shows 1.59GB in the store.

So what was in the multiplayer update for it to be bigger than the expansion?

I honestly do not have a clue, but IIRC some of the DLC related information/data comes with the multiplayer update(s), other than that I do not have a proper answer.

How is Aftermath on PC? I haven't played in over a month, I could not get used to Armored Kill at all - I prefer Conquest and AK maps are so damn big, if you don't get a vehicle you are SOL. Got tired of running wind sprints :laugh: Are the maps for Aftermath pretty good?

I just got the close quarters addon....not too sure how I like it.

Close Quaters is crap, Aftermath is similar but larger and open. Gets boring pretty quick, reminds me of Medal of Honor.

I think BF4 should just ditch vehicle maps, and stick to infanty only. Would make more sence.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
