This game is fucked up due server issues.

@MrBrightside, I heard they fixed it sometime earlier this week?

I think so, apparently they do maintenance Monday to Thursdays. Haven't really played multiplayer much.

The campaign is a boring waste? I thought it was quiet good, but I played it before multi.

There's no achievements for the PC version right?

The campaign is so bland in my opinion. Slightly better than that of BC2 but the Battlefield franchise isn't really known for exhilarating campaigns. Co-op is pretty painful to play too (I just want the gunzz unlocked).

I think I've warmed to multiplayer. Pretty good game overall (minus the above two points). Loving the tactical flash lights and laser dot since they make a lot of people sitting ducks and serve no practical purpose. Attempts at blinding me = empty mag into that direction and 9/10 kill them first.

campaign was decent. multiplayer is fucking epic. almost fully unlocked all things for jets

 

[Azure]

I've only flown jets once. I've never been too good with anything in the air. Is there somewhere I can practise without demolishing my multiplayer stats (somewhere in co-op or something?)

I never played Black ops so maybe that's why I find the campaign pretty good. (I know both stories are pretty similar with the interrogation themed storyline. (My brother played it)

I hatez them dam flash lights omg, so pointless and makes you want to shoot a whole clip in their face. It's painful playing at 640*480 with everything on low (although I'm happy it still runs), dam no shadows option. And is it just me or are the maps pretty bland? (Maybe I need more time to run through them (dam you HSC)) - can't wait for re-imaged BF2 maps

Oh yeah in the campaign on the 2nd level, I hated that blurred Arab looping vocal in the background, so annoying.

Gosh I hate this battlelog concept, can't change video/audio settings until in-game >< I don't know what EA is trying to do or who it's trying to impress, but I don't like it. PS the loading screens look like they were copied and pasted from Need for Speed Undercover.

I know, I want unranked servers and more servers in general, there are so many queues on servers within seconds.

The worst is when some bloke on your team with a flash light blinds you for no reason. Infuriating.

The best thing is the suppressor. Stealth FTW. Flash light only belongs on a pistol in some circumstances (i.e. close quarters where running out of bullets and suddenly shoving a flash light in there face might force them to miss a few shots and give you an upper hand) . Running around with it is so douchey/annoying/stupid.

2.8 k/d ratio hahahahahahhhaha

 

[MrBrightside]

They took out the "spotted" feature when you hold down Q But I suppose that's what the snipers do now.

 

[Azure]

Still works on PS3?

Nah I mean like in BF2, you hold down Q and you can select Spotted while pointing at an enemy.

Is it just me or is Campaign on hard difficulty.... really hard? Fkn taking me ages and I'm only about 10% done.

And talk about getting trolled. I put BF3 in and was about to play online multiplayer, when I realised my xbox live expired 1 hour prior to me playing BF3.....

Lol, that is one of my favourite things to do at the spawn point of any game

Play on normal then?

No point restarting now. Besides, you get a 30g achievement if you complete it on hard, so might as well go with it. It's just that, normally on other FPS campaigns, hard isn't this hard.. :S

Oh, on PC I don't think you get anything upon completion. Just the satisfaction of completing the story, like in the good old days
Apparently BO was really hard/cheap on Veteran, basically enables all enemies to have an aim bot.
