Downloading the patch now, will take about 6 hours and after that the Aftermath pack, no ps3 today

Mine took about 6 minutes. I'm not too bothered about aftermath right now, as I'm barely touching bf3 lately, but I will be interested to see the yootoob vids on its level designs later. ......

Booting the game to see how the patch has fixed the sound issues.... Biggest deal for me.......


:irked:👍

I wouldn't get to exited the PSN store updates in Europe on Wednesday. The borderlands 2 DLC had a Tuesday release and that came out on Wednesday.

Every BF3 DLC has honoured its Tuesday release date. Battlelog states it could take up to 8PM for it to appear in Europe and the UK.
 
It makes me so angry that im on a 70 meg connection and the bf3 patch (not the dlc got that in 10 mins) is gunna take over an hour.

Only an hour? I’ll be happy if that was me. I only have 7 hours to go now. The time increased somehow :boggled:
 
Manually search BATTLEFIELD on the Store and gotta do the boring checkout, and finally it will start to DL.
This just further proves how big of a cluster:censored: the new design is.

I see what you are saying but if it maxed my connection it would take like 5 minutes.
 
:censored:ing DICE. The DLC's still not out for Auz/NZ yet and it's already the 28th here.

Oh, and I still haven't managed to get the Dynamic Aftermath theme.
 
Any tips for speeding up my download? I see people there and on bf3 and there saying it only took 15 minutes

They might've gotten in before the server destruction started to take place, check your connection doing other things and if it's not much, much slower than usual (it will be a bit slower because of downloading, obviously) then it's on EA's end. Don't forget almost every BF3 player will be downloading from their servers right now.
 
Scavenger is quite fun, I was planning on just playing CQ once I'd gotten my 3 wins to unlock the xbow. But I think I'll be spending some time on that aswell. Nice surprise.

Standard xbow has quite severe drop on it, Only need 50 Sniper kills and a few sidearm headshots and you get the Balanced bolt so it not to bad. Favorite map so far? Talah market...:)
 
Haven't gotten the DLC yet, but I've gotta say, the Type 88 is much better now. It feels more accurate compared to the SAW, but gets let down by the slower RPM.
 
Just played on Luetin's server (YT commentator. Had a few good games to, I thought I was going to get slaughtered by the tryhards but I had a good showing :)

How does the drop compare to, say, a suppressed assault rifle? Any estimate on the usable range, perhaps?

Standard arrow's range is sub 100m, it just drops like a rock after 50m. On the scoped version x7, it lands on the lowest upside down V (the 3rd one) at a bit less than 100m.

Liking the autumn look of maps and their design (anything's better than blue at this point).

Scavanger feels like CQ DOM on conquest size maps.
Meaning that there's a whole lot of running and long range shooting going on.

Maybe it's just the console version, but 24 players on these maps is either intense short battles, or emptiness.

The random weapons aren't that exciting, especially since the attachments are all pre-set. If it was also with random attachments, it would be miles ahead.

On the flip side, you spawn with any pistol of your choosing, and therefore can only play with pistol if you wanted to. But as mentioned before, most battles are over a pretty long distance, so there's that.

:nervous:

XBOW is worth it though. Troll weapon, and that's before the specialized arrows (looking at you xplosive arrow :sly: )

OH! And biggest backstab of all, the wounded camo style is only on Scavanger (or possibly on any mode, but limited to Aftermath maps only).

Yeah, I'd go along with TP1.

To make it simpler though, I was struggling to hit people on the Crane on Canals from the train tracks. Haven't tried the balanced bolt but have unlocked it. According to the description it has hardly any drop. So I look forward to trying it out. Only need 3 c4 kills for the explosive bolt and 10 designations and 1 assist for the scan bolt. Overall I'm impressed with the DLC I'll leave it untill tomorrow night to express my full opinion though. Haven't played much CQ yet either: )
 
My personal opinion about the new urban style DLC is pretty much.... The death of call of duty hahaha
 
Right I let it download over night thinking I could play the next day, but an error occurred. I typed the numbers and what it said on the screen but no results showed. I then checked Battlelog and only one thing popped on there. Does anyone have any idea to why it’s doing this?

(it’s the standard patch and 8071736 is the code )
