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.
