@Blitz187, tonight is the night we gonna make it happen, tonight will play our fingers out :-)

Hopefully one big thing that has been discussed, that they are mentioning is input lag, that is the only feature, as DICE is calling it now, that we actually need on PS3. So reducing antialliasing on ps3 will reduce input lag, according to patch notes

^ Cool man, i'll be online in the evening to try it out. Cya then! :)
 
Downloading the patch as we speak.

1070 mb! That's a massive patch, 15 mins estimated for me but it's done 50% already in a few minutes and only 5 mins estimated left so must not be too many people downloading at this time of night, well in North America anyway.

God I need to sleep soon I was planning on just a game or maybe 2 but now I'm curious as to how changed this is.

Can you tell us what is the surprise that DICE mentioned, I won't be able to download it for another 8 hours :-(.
 
Says that you have to download B2K again so that's a bit of a delay.

And I think I found the surprise:
Timesavers.

As in, you pay money to unlock stuff.

I was expecting something like a Console Commorose. Not a way of making money off of lazy people :grumpy:

Haven't played an actual game yet, so I'm hoping for the Commorose :nervous:

Also I'll probably not be able to test the new patch out because I'm only about 26% through downloading B2K again and it's almost 10:30. I'll try in the morning.

Is that just the patch or does it also include downloading B2K again?
Sorry but I forget the size of the B2K download.

Cheers Shaun.

B2K's an extra 1.3GB :eek:

Update to me in less than 2 hours! What the heck is commo rose?
You know when we press Select to offer/request stuff like a repair or a MediPak? The Commo Rose is that improved by seven-quintillion-plus-infinity. Search "Commo Rose BF Wiki" and it'll tell you (can't give link because I'm on app).

Thanks mate 👍
I'm glad I've already re-downloaded it. Looks like I'll wait until tomorrow then to download the patch if it's that big.

Cheers Shaun.
 
Just downloaded the update... Took me about 4.5 minutes.... But i did see that it says i need to download the B2K add-on again... I wonder if that will go away by the time i wake up... Hopefully it will and if not no big deal.... But anyone have a idea what the "RENT A SERVER" option is all about? I wonder if it is like on the PC where you can host your own private matches... But right now it says i can't use it yet
 
Thsts what it is. I was thinking getting a few people to chip in so we all pay less money together to rent the server. It's definitely gonna be a United States server, but I don't know whether to get West, South or East.
A quick question for the Europeans and Aussies, what are the signals you all get on each US server? I want as many people as possible to get at least 3 bars of signal.

Also, there are a few other guys on another forum that I frequent, I might be able to get the price even lower if we get more people paying. Getting over 20 people to pay for the use of it would be really cheap. We may even be able to chip in enough money at the start and get it for the whole year!

Although my parent will probably say, "You're buying something? On the internet?
No!"
 
Yup, it's out now. And a 90 day server rental is $100 NZ. So if 10 people helped pay, it'll be $40 for a year.
Unfortunately the only way to pay is through PSN so it's either me getting a Voucher or somehow through my dads credit card :grumpy:
 
why do we need to redownload B2K DLC???

They patched B2K about a week ago to fix the glitches with the QBU-88 and MG36 appearing above the soldier's head instead of where they should have been.

So, it's mandatory that you re-download it.

So if I don't use them, I don't need to redownload B2K DLC again :-)
 
It's still mandatory to download, whether or not you use the weapons.

Once it's made fully mandatory, you won't be able to play the maps without re-downloading the B2K pack.

Ok, didn't know that it's mandatory, I assume that it will be mandatory after patch, cause so far I could play normally B2K maps.
 
Yes, after the patch it will be mandatory.

Still don't know if it's available in North America yet. :indiff:

Edit: Patch is available; downloading now.

That's more convenient for me.
I can pick up a $15 PSN card and then give you the code? 👍

Only 10.5 hours left on my download! :eek:
 
It is a big patch. Going to take me over an hour to download it on my sluggish connection.

Also, heard from a friend that it's pretty much fixed everything that was wrong with it and so far there isn't any noticeable issues.
 
I just am glad that snipers can't use that MAV to get on top of things anymore... I was so sick of that
