[Crisp]

Indeed it is.

Once got killed thrice by that idiot.

Had to use Sniper to get him :p

How so? The air guns can't be killed.

Well, I am just about finished with the SP portion of this game and anyone who does not believe that this is a direct ripoff from Black Ops is smoking mushrooms. The interrogations between mission, all that is missing is the chair , needles..etc. It is not that bad of a game though.

They really need to fix the crashing to desktop on certain servers. This one round I was doing really well, like 25-2 and the friggen' game crashes and OF COURSE BF3 does not give you any 'grace' period to re-join the server ...

They should really make it so that if you D/C and you re-connect right away your stats are still there.

Beware a file on the update Upsets Avira.

[Got3n]

Haha no IRNV nurf...im glad, i like it as is, makes people cry more, I dont even use it anymore but I like being able to kill people first who are using it, just so they rage lol

[Napalm Frog]

Hmm, my 360 got the same update as well. Weird thing is, it's the same size as the title update, and that there has bee no word on it (the equivalent one from the PC is under review and shouldn't appear for a week or two).

I got a server yesterday (PC), was thinking we could Neowin brand it lol, if you guys are interested. It's currently 24/7 conquest Metro/Seine (32-players), with a no rocket/noobtube rule in Metro.

[ARchamps]

What is your impression on the PC update so far guys and gals?

[Dennis]

I noticed one new bug, regarding servers disappearing from Battlelog. Other than that good patch to me.

[booboo]

Anyone else got what seems to be a lag problem with BF3 on PS3? Coming from COD it seems very laggy and unresponsive, is this meant to be realisitc?

[Dusco25]

Tells me I need to install the game first when i try to join a server and I have not updated ****.. Just woke up and tried to play

[ViperAFK]

WHY THE **** WOULD THEY BUFF THE MOBILE AA VS INFANTRY? Seriously, what the hell dice? The tunguska was already crazy overpowered on nosharh canals rush, now its even worse.

Attackers cant even kill it if it has just one engineer repairing it. It kills infantry in like 1 hit, and is effective vs vehicles.

Its fixed a friends locking/crashing but has made me start to lock and crash where it didnt pre-patch, DICE are ridiculously inept.

Dude... DICE doesn't listen to Battlefield players, cmon you should have known that already.

They do hear the newbies that don't know jack about the game though. They like to keep them happy so they return to buy the next Battlefield game in a few years.

I can not even play the game as of this morning.. Played before I went to bed I wake up and it tells me to install the game first when i try to join a server...

[ViperAFK]

Good news is negative mouse accel is totally fixed. Mouse feels great now. I haven't been a fan of any of the "balance" changes they've made so far though.

So I guess I am the only person who now has green for some graphics and is seeing major flickering and just messed up graphics overall?

First match I hopped on to, it was unplayable, just missing textures and flickering all over the place. I closed Origin, relaunched it, found another server, and this time it was playable, just some flickering here and there, and just a few missing textures as well. Considering the game played fine for me on Monday, I am assuming the patch is to blame.

EDIT - Just realized that for some reason my SLi got disabled in my Nvidia control panel? What is real weird is game was running like it was enabled, I was getting the same FPS I always do, so perhaps that was the culprit. Eating some lunch and will report back in a bit if that was the issue.

Make sure you filter by servers in your local region, and if you talking things like sniper rifles then yes there is travel time and drop, and you need to lead your targets and aim high if your a long way away.

but with assault weapons there should't really be any lag..more likely server issues or your connection.

Got a problem after the update. The XBOX360's gamepad that's connected to my PC, doesn't stop vibrating when I'm being hit, fix something with the engineer or just shoot... while playing with mouse and keyboard (I only switch to the gamepad when piloting the helicopter). I searched all over the settings and couldn't find the option to disable the vibration of the gamepad when it's not being used. Anyone know about some ini I can edit, or how to solve the problem otherwise?

It's really bothering. Not me (I'm playing with surround headphones on on pretty high volume, and didn't notice the gamepad was dancing on the sub woofer of my speakers (that's where I store it) until my girlfriend got in to the room and started to wave her arms at me), but still bothering and I would like to find a fix.

Yeah it was my SLi being disabled that was making the game freak out, I think. I did get a BSOD just trying to launch the game once I enabled SLi. I then launched RAGE in Steam and it ran no issues (after I restarted my comp of course). I then went into BF3 and it ran perfect for 5 rounds. So not sure what is up, but I do know I was one of the lucky people who had no issues prior to the patch, so it looks like I now have issues. Gotta love patches on the PC.

So what exactly do they measure the Skill assessment on under player stats? Somehow I am currently at a skill level of 497! :s :laugh:

I have gone up and done with my K/D Ratio all day. Was at 2.0 in the morning, went down to 1.8, and almost got it back to 2.0 just now. Definitely my best KD ratio in a game in quite some time.

EDIT - I looked into Skill Level.

So basically, this is what determines your skill level on your stats page:

? You gain/loose SL based on every confrontation with another player

? Killing a highly skilled enemy gives you more points than killing someone less skilled

? Points are not transferred from a player to another, they are simply added/subtracted based on the encounter and the SL of both parts (thus, after an encounter, one part may go up 50 points while the other loses only 20)

? The SL is used for matchmaking

So basically I wound up killing some people with a high skill level. Seems rather open ended as to how they actually calculate it.

Tried many times to get public co-op to work to see what its like but just keeps closing on me before game loads :(

[Dusco25]

Listen after a few days of playing I have come to the conclusion this game is epic boring.. I join maps with the max 64 players and I still run around for sometimes the whole match without killing a single player then when a 40min game is over you see the top killer only had like 20 kills.. I find myself running around 98% of the time.. so boring..

When I read "I've been running around" it leaves me with the impression that you're not playing the game the correct way. This game isn't about killing people, or running around to find people (unless you're playing death match). The goal is to win. If you support your team in winning the game, you'll find plenty of people to kill, especially on 64 player servers. Noticed you've been playing the assault class for 2 hours, but only have four revives. You need to get that higher. Do your job and you'll find the action.
