Wow I'm an old BF2 player and when they introduced Rush in Bad Company 2 I fell in love. I think 32 players on a Rush map is awesome not sure about the 64. To me it's built for smaller player count. As a side point I also love the push the cart stuff in TF2!! So maybe it's just my taste.

Just an FYI

Don't pay an arm and a leg for the Physical Warfare pack since it will be released for free to all players later this year. I see the codes go for $10-20 on eBay.

Now the SpecAct skins and the dog tags I am not as sure but I'd place my bet on them being available for free eventually as well. Patience friend!

Damn it. It looks like my copy wont ship from Amazon for another few days. I wont be able to play it till next weekend. Amazon is taking longer and longer to get me my stuff the week it comes out. I always took the free shipping and had new releases by friday or saturday of that week. Now it is not till the friday or saturday of the next week. I guess this is their way of trying to get me to buy prime.

Whoa, those tags are selling for a lot. Maybe I should throw mine out there...

Thank you. I was worried about your earlier post where you stated you didn't like any of the maps you've played.
I'm just waiting for the Karkand pack!

That makes sense because I'm pretty sure the items are actually exclusive and can't be unlocked otherwise. I don't think you get them right away either because all I can find is the DAO shotgun in my customization screen. Can't swap the shells or find the suppressor anywhere for the other kits.

Tried a bit of the SP campaign and it's what I figured it would be: just another shooter on rails a la COD. It's OK but doesn't hold a candle to the MP. Wasn't necessary DICE and it just makes you look like tools trying to copy it.

You get all the stuff right away. As soon as I unlocked it I had the DAO with the different rounds and suppressor, and I had the Type88 LMG, as well as some other sniper rifle that wasnt advertised.

I was able to go up to "Ultra" and things look like they were gonna be good. It looks like I'm getting really good FPS but then there is this "stuttering" thing. Correct me if I wrong; but isn't that where the FPS looks like it is going great but you get all these short bursts of slow down? I know it will only be a matter of time before they fix this but it sucks.

I just downloaded an unofficial cap 4 profile, that seemed to clear up all the microstuttering.

Is anyone on here having an activation problem on their Battlefield 3 PC. I can't get it to log on and it keeps giving me a box with a spinning wheel that doesn't do anything.

Here are my PC settings:



Anyone using the default settings? Runs really smooth, but as others have mentioned AA would be cool have have on...

Same settings (minus resolution; mine is 1200) I use and I'd prefer a smoother framerate to having AA on. Jaggies really aren't as big of an issue as they used to be except on shadows, but meh.

Man my accuracy sucks at this game, either that or everyone has magic bullets that can kill me in 2 shots while mine don't hit them or do no damage. I will bet on the accuracy part

People really need to learn when to defib people. I mean seriously my last two games, some jackass revived me and not even one second after being revived I was dead again. The second was I was revived infront of a tank and well you can probably guess how that went

They don't care is the problem. Defib equals points and back in the day we used to grief people that pissed us off by one of us switching sides and killing the person, then defibbing over and over. People are lucky k:d only works towards when you're dead, dead.

Yeah I keep blaming my internet connection or scream HAX! whenever I'm sure I got someone with a full magazine and then they turn around and put only like 2 in me.

Anyways, you can choose to ACCEPT or to NOT ACCEPT the revive. I forget the "not accept" but "accept" is space bar. An on screen prompt will pop up to notify the player. This will help out with those unfortunate revives.

how do I zoom in using the tank? I remember in the beta it was a right mouse click, I just earned the zoom optics but I can figure out how to use it

you have to have the zoom ability unlocked first.

It is unlocked I've been using the tank almost exclusively since I started playing this game and I have unlocked 11 of the 13 tank abilities/perks? not sure what they're called but most of them I don't what they are or even how use them

I mean I know I suck and I can attribute 85% of my deaths to skill level but there are times I wonder how much my shitty internet affects my game

Thanks for that revive button. I did not know it was there, and it seems like well people will revive for points and only for points instead of logical common sense, lol.

Do you have to "equip" it in your tank loadout?
