I am using a wireless keyboard and Mouse (MS) and I do not think that BF3 is accepting some keystrokes from my keyboard. Anyone know about any problems using wireless keyboards?

I have experienced ths problem aswell. Using a microsoft entertainment 8000 keyboard & mouse. go to push w a s d and nothng happens, takes a couple of taps for it to register on seperate occasions. Its not anoying, just a pain in the ass when you relly do need to move.

Otherwise, love this game, had a shocker playing yesterday, but today is another day and we will see..

Sorry man, what part of the US are you in, most of us are in texas so we choose texas servers just out of habit, next time we will look for other servers to better even out the ping.

Oregon. I usually choose LA or Seattle servers for BF3. The thing is in BC2 I played on Texas or Chicago servers just fine and a 100ms ping wasn't nearly noticeable in that game. I can really feel the difference between a 50ms server and a 100ms server in bf3 though.

That and the mouse sensitivity issue I was having yesterday. I haven't had the chance to play today so I don't know if that was a temporary thing or not.

I am absolutely, 100% satisfied with this purchase. IMO this blows BC2 way out of the water.

The graphics are.. Just.. Amazing. The gameplay is fast, the guns are fantastic, the knife animations are gruesome and fantastically violent. Everything just... Feels right for Battlefield.

MY ONLY COMPLAINT: Tactical flashlights, seriously? Enough said.

So does anyone else use the IRNV in their assault kit? That thing almost feels like cheating. I hear it's going to be nerfed but I have no idea how it could be. Although it was much worse in the daytime in the beta, so I'll bet they'll revert it to how it was then if anything.

IRNV sucks. Seriously.

I've tried to use it a couple of times and it literally sucks. With AEK 971

I have started using it recently and, yep, it sure needs some adjusting. The sight is just too good at its current state.

I picked the Limited Edition of the game up yesterday, and my copy came with the Physical Warfare pack even though I never pre-ordered or did anything to really earn it that I'm aware of. I'm not sure if that's a bug or if I was just lucky. I played a bit of single player, and a bit of multiplayer. The single player on the game isn't bad but from what I've seen it's very linear. Again, not a major problem since the single player was almost a bonus to have included with the actual game.

The multiplayer blew me away, though. I played a match of Rush and was poorly prepared for that, so I left it and went to play Team Deathmatch so I could unlock some gear and actually become an asset to my team. I think I'm somewhere around Rank 7 and I am having a lot of fun with the game. Assault seems to be my class of choice for now because I enjoy playing the role of a medic, even with the small amount of time for revives in Team Deathmatch. I started with the Support class and I probably should have waited and got used to the game first. I'm using the M16A3 and the AK-74M at the moment, but I do have the M416 unlocked as well. The M16 seems to be the easier to use, but that might stem from having the Holographic Sight. For the M16, I use the Holographic Sight, a Tactical Light, and the Heavy Barrel (I think). For my AK, I use the Kobra, a Foregrip, and a Suppressor.

I haven't seen anyone using it yet. Wouldn't it be difficult enough to use with recoil, or do you just have to change your firing mode so that recoil becomes no problem at all? I'm surprised infrared and night vision are included on the one sight, but I imagine it's going to be an interesting sight to play with.

Battlefield 3 seems to have dragged me away from Gears of War 3, so I'll need to find time for both in the future!

How so?

It's considered a scope. Therefor holding shift while shooting makes it pinpoit accurate. Added to the fact that it makes people literally stick out like a neon sign..

It's becoming very common. And no, using it with a silencer and grip to reduce most recoil and you have a gun that turns people into neon signs and is nearly laser accurate. I prefer the M416 or F2000.

The only downside to it's use is that it makes your field of view narrow when ads'ing. But I'm used to playing recon so that's not a huge bother to me.

You're doing it wrong then. It's crazy OP.

I think the term OP or Over Powered is getting used way too loosely lately. Bottom line, certain guns will naturally work better for some play styles than it does with others hence the allusion of OP. So far in this game I have not encountered a weapon that was blatantly OP, in certain situations every weapon will shine but they all seem to equally blow in the opposite situations, long range vs short range, high rate of fire vs slow rate of fire ect.... Example, UMP 45, I love it, fits my play style and works well for me. In my hands some may feel it is OP (not to pat myself on the back) but outside my play style it blows. It has no range on it, if I am caught out in the open I am a dead man so when I am using this weapon, I make an effort to stay in close quarters. Bottom line, if a player picks a weapon, plays that weapon how it is meant to be played and works it within its "sweet spot" they will succeed. People that pick a weapon and attempt to use it outside of its sweet spot will lose 9x out of 10 when they come face to face with the player inside the sweet spot and will instantly cry OP.

Very well said. (Y) I've experienced that myself. ~ That Support guy with a M249 on Caspain Border. :shiftyninja: :laugh:

Does anyone remember the intro video to Battlefield 2? DICE should have made something similar for Battlefield 3. It would have done a good job in creating interest for Battlefield 3.

Battlefield 2142 also had an awesome intro video.

Anyone using Chrome here? I just gave it another try in hope to finally stick with it (still can't move to it from Firefox), and Battlelog doesn't work on it. Filter isn't usable at all.

Can't turn off/on the filters, ping the servers and do anything at all in the multiplayer section. Any solution to that, or should I forget about trying to move to Chrome and just stick with Firefox?

I use it on my F2000 and regularly get scores like 34-3 and so on, it's OP :D it's especially good on Tehran Highway and any map with lots of foliage and stuff to hide under, I don't like using it on Metro, use my own eyes for that, my favorite map too ;D

Nope.

IE9 here. While I would like to try Chrome, my RAM wont allow this.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
