I just finished the single player on hard. It's terrible. If I had to rate the game on single player alone it would be 1 out of 10. The plot is okay..I guess. And it's not that it's hard. It just takes dieing repeatedly to learn where the baddies are because there is no way you can make it through the game without dieing. And even then, they have wallhacks because they can shoot you behind cover. It's irritating and a whole lot of not fun.

and they like to keep shooting until your cover is gone. i played it for about 3 hours and gave up on it. it was dumb. ai is dumb as **** too. even on hard sometimes i would be right behind them and they wouldn't notice me.

Ok, found one bug that needs fixing. When you click on a spawn point and said spawn point disappears right as you are spawning, you get kicked back to your RU point. It needs to come back and tell me that spawn is unavailable, pick a new one. The RU can be quite a run in the middle of the game and no vehicles.

Heh. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's a bug :) It spawns you at the safest spot, which is your base.

No, I agree with him. It may not be a "bug" by definition but if it were to return you to the spawn selection screen, it would definitely be an overlooked improvement. It should be patched.

i really REALLy hate how you can't see weapon stats when setting up your kit as you can in Bc2, its so stupid that they expect your to navigate their battlelog thing to see the stats of each weapon. ARRGGGHH!

it'd be different if battlelog was easily built into origin so you could shift+f1 to see the screens.

i guess i can try using the origin webbrowser to goto the battlelog. Still too over complicated.

edit:

i actually can't even find laid out weapon stats and comparisons on the battlelog. :|

lol I hope you didn't pay attention to the weapon stats in BC2 because even at launch they were completely wrong. :p

An you don't really have to have Origin open to run BF3. Just have it running in the background and minimized to tray, and just use your web browser to browse servers, look up stats and launch BF3.

Guys there will be a live stream of BF3 with Peter Moore where we can play with him and he will answer questions (some of them) if you post here: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654624723626092/1/

I finally received my game and after playing for a considerable time and let me tell you it is an absolute dream, they absolutely nailed it, this is a work of art in motion from infantry combat to vehicular warfare they nailed it. I played for about 14 hours straight on one of my days off from work and only noticed how much time had passed when someone commented on it. The only qualms I have are the tac light, laser sight complaints most people have, I would like to know how dice got the impression that flashlights that output more light then the sun exist or where a single laser dot can blind both eyes but it is not even worth mentioning considering how incredible the whole experience is so far.

I really thought I was never gonna get used to flying the helicopters but I am getting much more confident as I spend time with them. Jets I can maneuver fairly confidently but I cannot seem to hit the broad side of a frickin barn without then crashing immediately. Overall I think I have found the game that I will be playing at least for the next year and a half.

Side note and slightly off topic but after playing this I am now certain I will not be buying MW3 because IMO it is simply inferior in every single way as a game and not worth my money (Y)

Trag3dy, you still struggling with the Surveillance ribbon? Here's a pro tip - **** T-UGS and get the MAV. Then just spam Q and if your team is able to kill anyone, the awards will just roll in like to tomorrow. Case in point - 22 ribbons from 2 matches where I used it for 1-2 stages.

EDIT

This little thing could also work amazingly if you play with someone on VOIP as you get an excellent overview of the map and most importantly - highlighted enemies.

I'll try it out. I haven't used it because I prefer to use guns and get kills/points that way.

Despite not being a bug, it makes me want to go postal. Annoys me no end when I'm just about to squad spawn and instead I get spawned at base because my teammate died. Granted, I'm glad I didn't spawn there, but there are usually lots more places that I can spawn that are better than the base :crazy:

Swapping to 16 and 32 player matches was an extremely smart move (thanks for the suggestion everyone!). I'm now immensely enjoying the game, and actually getting some kills. Just unlocked some additions for my gun. One problem i'm having, though, is that my weapon modifications are not saving. My sprint perk, as well as my laser dot sight are not staying attached to my gun after the match. Do i have to redo my gun additions each match?

Typically after a match you'll swap sides. So if you were playing US, the next match you would be Russian and vice versa. This is probably what your talking about, it changes your default gun set.

Hi. I don't think so. You just have to customize once, but for each faction (US or Russia) so 2 different laser unlocks one for each main gun

    • I was surprised too, but it was the only working one I could find at the time. BTW, Google Gemini pointed the blame at tech sites that are overzealously implementing anti-bot stuff and mistaking some RSS apps for being bots. That's consistent with the Forbidden and Access Denied responses these two RSS apps were getting. That said, I'm glad these apps are back to working with Neowin's standard Feed URLs. 
    • good day dear friends,      update: well i think that i have solved this issue - i did some investigations & experiments and finally i think i have found out a solution.  Btw: i am more  than glad to be part of this great forum. Its a big big and incredible help for me. Keep up this great place - it rocks   full story: update:  i think that this is the thing...:  the basis: in the  Twentytwentyfour-theme (TT4)  i want to have a  News-Block:  a. Block 1 (News)   which shows the latest three news - News 1 - News 2 - News 3 i guess that this is so called Query Loop Block (Posts, sort: newest, count: 3) - see here: hmm - well i guess that this is exactly a Query Loop block. Since the Twenty Twenty-Four (TT4) theme is a full-site editing (FSE) block theme, we can build this layout directly in the editor without writing any code. How to configure the block in the TT4 theme Insert the block: Add a Query Loop block into our Hero section. Settings in the right sidebar: Post Type: select Posts. Order: WordPress defaults to Newest to oldest, which matches our requirement. Count: set Items per page to exactly 3. Sticky posts: set this to Exclude so that old, pinned posts do not break your chronological order. well i think that the  structure for our layout sketch could be done like so: To match our sketch precisely, we could nest the blocks inside the editor like this so - as an example: Group (here we use this to set the background color for our red 🟥 Hero area) Heading: "the actual news & Updates" Query Loop BlockPost Template (this repeats automatically 3 times)List or Group (to achieve the bullet point • look) Post Title (linked to the single post) Buttons: "[see all news →]" (manually link this button to your main news archive page) Well i  think  that i try this out - btw: how to filter this block so it only displays a specific category (e.g., only "News" instead of general blog posts), if someone has a idea - it would be great have a great day.🤩 and keep up the great forum - a awesome place for idea-sharing and much much more👍 btw: see below a drawing of the supposed setup.
    • My experience since going cloud only is that things are easier to manage and there are less issues. Also reduced tech staff required for manage a larger amount of users / computers. My experience is that its the third party services, cloud printing etc that are behind in the reliability stakes and cause frustrations.
    • You and Neowin are really scraping Reddit for ragebait articles, aren't you? (facepalm)
