Oh yeah, I forgot about that completely. Yeah, there's no reason for you to even rent it, Pestilence.

**** man.

I'll probably rent it just to play SP and get the feel for it.

badmajama is my gamertag on PS3

Doesn't Gamestop let you buy a game and if you return it within a week you can get your money back?

Servers down?

They stopped doing that a while ago.

This is ****ing bullshit we wait this damn long and the ****ing servers are down!

I'm gamin online right now

looks nice...
 

nice view! thanks you dude

Anyone addicted to BF3's multiplayer yet?

I got to play for about an hour now it just says can't connect to EA servers WTF?

Sucks can't get this or Arkham City till the 4th

Don't worry you wouldn't be able to play Battlefield online even if you had the game.

EA at its best

EA probably didn't anticipate the server load, even with 3 million pre-orders.

They clearly knew

How could they not? I'm a hardcore Battlefield fan boy and I just can't fathom how time and time again they **** this up.

downloading updates now.

I'll be on in 15-20 mins

No you won't lol No offense to you just dogging EA

Doesn't make sense to me either....how could they not anticipate the amount of online gamers that would be slamming them.

I played about an hour early today and it was laggy at the end even at around 3pm est.

They have already made close to $200,000,000 in pre-sales alone, they should have cautioned on the side of having too much server bandwidth rather than too little.

PC works fine.

and we're down...

Yep. But hey I'm loving this game. Such a breath of fresh air form CoD. And the difficult way to identify enemies and confirm a kill will weed out the little kids and losers from CoD legacy. I enjoy the strategy and points for strategic assists and what not.

That's where the REAL game is anyways

don't worry! it's the first day!

don't worry! it's the first week!

don't worry! it's just the first month!

they knew that a lot of people were going to buy this, these excuses are old and tired.

EA can never have their servers ready for any game on launch. It's ****ing ridiculous.

Doesn't matter for me, my release-day (bullshit!) delivery from Amazon didn't show up today.

I haven't touched MP yet. Playing through the campaign right now on Hard and loving it. I love the realism.

yea campaign on hard is, pants on the ground, a good time. The efficiency of cleaning out a room or hallway in seconds gives me a boner.

When you guys get your battlelog set up and get your ID finialized post yours up so we can add ya to the log. My ID tag for the battlelog is SNYP3R406. Add me on the website.

Just picked it up and quit after ten attempts to guard the bridge with the LMG in Campaign :cuss: I'm on medium. This one's harder than CoD. Three bullets or one grenade and you're dead.

Well, I'm liking the multiplayer so far, except for the fact that EA servers suck balls. I suspect that the severs will crash multiple times per day for the next few days. But at least I managed to get in about 2 hours of quality death matches.

Campaign on hard is a surprisingly tough in spots. It seemed like BF2 was too easy on hard - this one seems about right. Loving it thus far.

Just played a couple of MP games last night....liked what I saw. I'll hopefully be on tonight and with any luck, actually be able to get into some games.

Yeah, I got stuck for the first time on the part where you have to take 2 MG nests out at night (by the canal) and then rush some building. Kept dying until I found the right way to approach that goddamn hotel or whatever it is. That was a bit frustrating but nothing like that BLOPS tank mission on Veteran. I love how much crisper this game is than the BC games as far as controls and shooting goes.

ROFL

Holy **** that part pissed me off. First 2 MG stations were easy to get through. Just stay out of the line of fire and your team will grenade them. The third one in the hotel......nobody on my team would move up further than I was. If I moved backwards, they followed me like dumb****s. I ended up sneaking up by the wall just below the enemies. Not surprising, as I came up the stairs, my entire team miraculously was there waiting for me like I'd been holding them up. ****ers.

Yeah, I used the left edge to advance (hugging the left wall). I think either one would probably work. I hope people read this before they get to that part and want to smash their controller. :)

Putting all that extra revenue from jobbing used buyers & renters to work, I see.

I just played through the first little mission on the roof.

It's crazy how "deep" this game feels.

Even the couple of MP rounds my cousin and I got to play are crazy.

You shoot down streets so far it's hard to get your head around. There are cross streets, windows all over the place....enemies a good 400 yards away.

Once the lag gets worked out it is going to be sick.

Enemies are really difficult to spot. Cover fire, coordinated movements, etc are all very important. Running and gunning really isn't going to work in this game. At least until people figure out all the maps and sh_t.

This reerun already has 13,000 kills

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/user/therussian59/

Is anyone else having problems with the knife? I had these 2 guys sneaking up on me and I knifed one, nothing happened. I then shot the other guy dead, and then knifed the other dude in the face again and he didn't die and he killed me.

Hit reg issues? I've read other complaints about hits not registering particularly well.

I watched a developer talk about this. One stab knife kills only work if you're behind them( like sneaking up on them). If the enemy is directly in front of you and at full health , one knife attack won't kill them, 2 should.

Yeah I knifed him in the back, he ran, then one in the face. Oh well. I rage quit after that.

Next time use a gun to be sure.

The first stab, I was hidden in some bushes and he crawled right in front of me. I didn't want to give away my position to his friend.

BC2 was the same way. Knives were hit and miss.

weird I went up behind a group of 4 guys and stabbed them all only once for them to die. Well I got 3 of them and the 4th shot me.

Like I said, hit and miss. A lot of it also depends on the lag, just like shooting. You know how some nights you shoot a guy in the head and he goes down and others you have to spend a clip on a dude? That's packet loss due to a shitty connection.

the sniper rifle is pretty tough to hit the head on MP. I definitely hear ya on dumpin a clip on a guy. Makes me wanna go kick kittens.

I'm jumpin on BF3 now

I love this game!

You guys already seen this shit? Might be more.

Looks like Jared Allen, Drew Brees, Clay Matthews, and I think that was Larry Fitz

Ok I finally got everything downloaded and have been playing for a while. I am up to where you are in the tanks. This gets a very big thumbs up from me, holy cow and I agree with the air mission and how it kicked ass.

This game is so badass. I love that one map on rush that once you get to a certain point you base jump down to the next bombs.

Yay my game will be waiting for me when i get home!

Come freaking hell or ..... something else really bad ..... I will be on tonight to play some MP. I haven't finished the campaign yet, but I'd like to get some MP in with some of the homo's of CP......I'm looking at you Pants & WhitiE.

I finally decided on this instead of MW etc. I put down a $5 deposit, but probalby won't get it for a few weeks. My wife likes to 'surprise' me with a new video game on Veteran's Day (typically MW, COD etc since they usually come out around that time). So, I don't want to steal the wife's thunder.

I finally beat the campaign last night. Not sure why the reviewers hated it but the only recent campaign I liked more was the first MW. I'm going to do some Achievement whoring tonight and then on to MP for the first time.

I've played a little bit online, but not much. I think I'm up to rank 3 or so. I think you'll love the maps.


Need to do some Co-op for that achievement if you are down for it sometime.

I'm down anytime I'm on, man. Just let me know.

Had to run to the store last night to pick up a few things. I stopped by the Redbox inside just to see if they had it.....and they did. I'll be firing up SP tonight.

I'll be on multiplayer from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight on 360 if anybody wants to squad up.

I haven't seen you on at all, man. I'm excited to play with you guys again.

I just got my game yesterday and started playing last night. I hate taking the hit starting with no perks or accessories.

I think I have more knife kills than gun kills already.

Ehhh, I'm not too worried about it. I went through it with BC2 and I'll go through it again with BF3. I had the game at midnight on Tuesday and still haven't touched MP.

BTW, did anyone get their Newegg copies yet? I checked mail last night and mine still hadn't been delivered.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5dZ6VtgjOtE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'll be on about 630 7

LOL that is one angry hick

I think that was the same guy who used to post videos of his hatred towards campers in MW or COD (I can't remember)

Same guy. It was funny to begin with, now he's just a dumbass.

I am starting to really dislike this game. I keep getting kicked off after about 2-3 minutes or can't connect. Then if I am lucky to get on I get killed by someone I never see...ugh

I realize there is a learning curve but I am having a hard time determining who is who which doesn't help matters any.

Use your map/radar. If you can't see them on there, then they aren't on your team (unless they are red, of course).

If you're not playing hardcore, you should see little blue/green triangles over friendlies, no? Also, make sure you spot the bad guys, that way you can keep track of them easier.

I'll be playing tonight if anyone else would like to.

I love having battles in SP and someone on my squad is standing directly next to the enemy but not shooting him. Nor is the enemy shooting the guy from my squad. He is just focused on me.

I am done with single player. Plus, I rented it from redbox, so I dont have a online pass.

So, I am done with the game. Bring on MW3.

I played a good 4 hours last night.

Getting the hang of things.

What's up with being given different weapons at the beginning of each round even if you're the same class?? Is it because you are either Russian or American? Cause sometimes if you are assault you'll be given M16 or the AKS...I'm only like level 5 so I haven't earned any "new" rifles yet.

Also I'm getting the hang of Jets. I love how you halo jump out of the plane if you bail way up in the sky. Then you pop your chute when you're near the ground.

So far so good. Conquest on some maps is a little boring because the maps are so big and the players are still trying to figure things out as opposed to working together to win. One team is usually much better than the other.

I play 4 hours on random and didn't get one Rush match. Will have to play all Rush the next time I'm on.

cheap! have fun with the kids!

Not enough dead tree tackling.

all I've been playing is Rush. I love it. I use support mainly. Yes, when you're different nationalities you'll get different weapons. I mod my weapons before I dive in match play just to be ready when the switch happens.

I'm going on now. I been tryin to invite a few CP'ers while they were on but wouldn't accept the invite. Lets get a squad goin so we can mic up and blow this bitch up.

I am just use to BF2 where the colors were red and blue and now it is blue and orange (sometimes). It is a learning curve thing I know but I have walked right up to the other team and not known it.

I haven't figured out spotting yet and I am playing MP.

:rolleyes:

OH GOD DMAC lighten up a bit breh
