I just am glad that snipers can't use that MAV to get on top of things anymore... I was so sick of that

^^ me too, it was annoying as hell! With that said though, it was great fun blasting a wookie off the top of a building with a RPG :)

Rent a sever prices on PS3 for the Europe

1 Day Rental = EUR 1.49
7 Day Rental = EUR 6.99
30 Days = EUR 24.99
90 Days Rental = EUR 59.99

Will download the patch when I get home from work later
 
60 euros for 90 days? Cool, maybe I'll just purchase one for 90 days :) Was thinking it would be more expensive. It will be European though and of course open to all GTPers! 👍
 
What the 🤬?!? First it showed 800minutes left and after i restarted it only 4000minutes left to download!

Had this game with VEXD last night, still can't work out how we lost it.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/37866774/4/209949149/

They had some guys in jeeps just going from objective to objective, the rest of our team did nowt. Infuriating.

Also, will someone else tell VEXD that if you hit the trees with a little bird above the tunnel at Damavand that you receive bullet like damage? He didn't believe me last night when telling him!

I think the prices are reasonable. Even if you want a once off night of gaming with just friends and have a bit of craic and no randoms you could rent a day server, saying they never put private matches in BF3 :grumpy:

Also some guy has already started live streaming a 1500 ticket Operation Metro conquest game on PS3 :lol: That's my idea of hell lol

Know the feeling I've lost 2 or 3 matches on Caspian Border due to the enemy team doing that. If you notice it happening try Engineer > AT mines
 
For those owning B2K if you have yet to update, it will give you an error when you're in the menu. The weapons will not show up in your weapons list anymore. So time to download that as well: 1300+ MB

That's cos you're lying!

I tried it after you got out of the chopper, and nothing happened.
Maybe it was your, ahem, presence that caused the drag over the mountain.
Next time, come as Recon, they carry less.

Fnarr.

I just downloaded the patch, at 1080Mb, and it crashed when installing, as has every other BF3 related game data that I have downloaded ever.
The data corrupted, and I had to delete it, and I am now trying again.

I bet this one does the same.....

Only have time to try it once more today though.

Have to go back to work......

Yeah Chef, those games last night were terrible and I reckon a lot of it was down to Lag.
Metro was just infuriating 🤬.....


:irked:👍
 
Oh yeah, hill above the tunnel will cause damage to anyone except the pilots. Just the same as fire causes damage to tank gunners.

There goes your theory.....


:trouble:👍

EDIT: yep, install just crashed again.

Loox like I won't be joining you lot on BF3 anymore, unless I can figure out what the conflict/problem is.

I hate EA....

Still my downloading takes like 2000-10000minutes.

[Edit]: Restarted PS3 and now its 70-60min. Finally! And deleted the whole game.

Small list of things I've found so far:

-G3A3 is actually pretty good now with more stopping power.
-MG36 and the Type 95 LMG no longer have Extended mags available. (For the MG36 on battlelog, it says null/300 kills)
-You can now quit between games.
 
I finished the update in about 12 minutes... but now the Back To Karkland is taking 2 hours... I'm confused. They aren't that different in size...

Bite me.

Also, have you tried turning it off and on again?

But seriously, try it when there are less people trying to download it, I'll probably d/l it in the morning when America is asleep and Europe is at work 👍

Surprise feature is admins of servers can have Wake Island CQ with 5 flags.
Click to expand...

So we can now play the large versions. Not sure how that will work out. It may become a capture the flag merry go round. I play on my buddies PC once a week and his server is all conquest large. When the server is slow, there is just to many flags for 12v12. IMO of course.

16 on 16 could be doable, but sadly.............

If any of you are on PC check out the dead meat hardcore server. Solid group of guys who own it.

Probably start the patch when I get home from work. Maybe it will be done for when my daughter goes to bed ;)
 
Consider there was a big frame rate boost 16v16 might be possible :D
I think Conquest with one lag would be crazy :drool:
 
First few observations after 4 rounds.

- games crashes very often, it crashed once during Squad Selection screen and once on private Gulf Oman CQ server with 1500 (!) tickets.

- L85A2 was great before the update it is even better after the patch

- USAS+frag rounds is no threat anymore, only good to suppress large groups of enemies, but with buckshot on the other hand

- maybe I'm crazy but it feels like you have to put twice as many bullets into enemy to take him down, overall I got the feeling that THE most powerful weapons are handguns (?!)

- lock on time in jets/choppers is significantly reduced

- land vehicles are very easy to destroy/disable , repair tool works much slower

- some nice small improvements to map/HUD

- Mi28-Havoc is much more controllable

- quite a few private servers available to play already , usually high ticket count CQ maps

- AN94 is at last an option to get some kills

- fall damage is even bigger than before patch

I played about 4 or 5 rounds after patch last night and there were no private servers up at the time.

What I noticed:

Frag round USAS is terrible :)

Recoil is wayyyyyy up on my beloved SCAR :( It's incredibly difficult to shoot straight.

The M4A1 is unbelievable and has nowhere near the recoil of the SCAR.
I played basically vehicles only for 2 rounds and was never killed inside my jet or chopper.

I agree with above about most powerful guns seem to be handguns. I had a fire fight in the middle of a street on Bazaar and I emptied my SCAR magazine into him and he shot something back at me, we both threw grenades and then switched to handguns... We both died from the grenades :lol:

Grenade launcher and rpg/smaw splash damages way down.

My k/d was amazing last night as I've always burst fired and now all the spray and pray guys are screwed with the recoil.

I'll hopefully get some games in tonight and try out a private server. I'm excited for games with higher ticket counts.


Oh and I never had the game crash once but then again I didn't play on a private server so maybe it has to do with them?

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:

Accounts don't recognise codes from another country :indiff:
 
This is not the same game anymore! Feels like everyone is better than me i mean EVERYONE. Its horrible! Maybe ill try again later.
 
It's probably because you might be using a gun that's been completely patched. For example an M16A4 has been altered so there's a main initial recoil to differentiate it from the A3.
And the 1-hit disable with IGLAs/Stingers is a bit annoying, so the only way to really evade it is to deploy flares and get out of range before the Engineer can get you again.

I also think that you're able to fly "Below Radar" where flying below 25ft makes Heat Seekers unable to lock on (apart from the Javelin), so practise flying low in the choppers 👍
 
A few of my initial thoughts on the new patch after 15 rounds of TDM:
(i normally play CQ and a bit a rush but wanted a quick look at how the patch had altered things)

.After 15 rounds of TDM and 2 hours of playing i didnt see one USAS 12 with frags, big smile> :) . So a good few with buck though and still seems to be very effective with shot equiped. still if you get killed by buck thats fare game, so no complaints there.
.The new minimap seems much more clearer and seemingy shows more enemies and where they are a bit more accurately.
.When using the QBB88 sniper i noticed a plume of white smoke or gas exiting the barrel. making follow up shots a bit tricky. this may have been there before but seems to have been exaggerated.
.Its nice being able to use the flash surpressor now instead of the full surpressor as it doesnt effect accuracy as much now, also it is better at killing recoil than the full surpressor.
.Still seeing a good bit of the famas, havnt tried it since patch though so cant really comment.
.Glad to hear the AN94 and G3A3 have been improved.
.The new slightly enlarged maps are refreshing, the 'extra bits' dont see much action though i found.
.New spawn points are good, way safer than before. Only got spawn killed once so thats not bad.
.Obviously MAV killing/evevating are gone so anather plus there.

I havnt really discovered much yet but im sure i'll find more whean i try CQ and rush.

So with no MAV stupidness and no USAS/frags. this is all what the community asked for.
 
CM:
Try the first engi assignment unlockable gun. I had 290 some odd kills with the SCAR before I unlocked it, now have 13 and still only 3 with the scar at 304 kills ;). Had ten service stars with it before I went back and got the third for The SCAR. Careful though initial recoil is up and right where the scar is up left.

Try putting your PS3 in safe mode and fixing the data base/rebuild data base and then insert the BF3 disc for the update after the rebuilding/fixing are done. See if it helps.


Thanks for the feedback everyone. 👍 Only a few hours of work left til I can get back home and test the new BF3 out. :) Time is going slow today.....:)
 
Sucks to hear VEXD. Hope you get that sorted. I'll try to DL the patch tonight and maybe the B2K one too.

One thing I do not get is why they seemingly over react and rebalance weapons. I mean, they should be modelling the weapons as realistically as possible and if a particular weapon is a standout, they that is how they should model it. If a particular weapon sucks, then it sucks. The way they constantly tweak recoil and stuff, you'd think they have never actually fired any of the weapons in the game.
