Somethings up. If its a hack, EB wont figure it out... If its a glitch, DICE will (urm, may) fix it in the following patch. Maybe see a fix in the fall DLC schedulle. Still waiting on the MAV fix???

Anyone else notice how quiet the previously helpful MK has been on B3 compared to past DICE titles? Still waiting on answers to questions posted in this thread months ago.

Tried so hard to get Maya's and Sufys tags tonight. Twice surfy was there for the taking but they both came out as standard knife kills.

I think it's always a little hard to make a judgement about something you haven't experienced first hand. If I had to base my opinion about BF3 on all the (mostly negative) comments I've read on various forums/blogs/twitter accounts - I'd never touch it ... in fact I wouldn't play any game at all.
I don't quite get why it apparently becomes fashion more and more that people dart at "I don't like this, that weapon is crap, the map layout sucks, recoil is too much, ...." paired with "server lag, a noob team, spawnkilling, lazy admins and of course damn cheaters". I can't recall that I saw so much negativity in 2008.
Why do people still play the game? Because some are having fun, those who are able to let themselves into the game and find something they like. If I were to ask - what do you like about BF3 .... I fear the list will be rather short.

I gotta admit, if you play it to win or for stats like top score, best k/d ratio etc you may not like it. I was like that because that's how I played games for years from SoF2 to CoD4 and enjoyed them a lot. I got a little angry in BF3 many times when my team wouldn't do the objectives or my shots never killed someone when I just knew in the back of my mind it should have. Came to the point where I didn't even want to play BF3.

Then a friend suggested that I not worry about that and play for fun instead. Doing things such as playing with a group of people on a TS for example. I now play in other ways which often results in a < 1 k/d ratio or being on the losing team but I'm having a lot more fun. Knifing people for example, vehicle hunting with a group of people on TS with SOFLAM and Javelins and other things.

No doubt BF3 has it's problems but it can be fun if you play it differently than other games.

I still need a new graphics card to play this game. I am pricing them to see what gives me the most bang for my buck.

I use a Geforce 460 and it's ok while I have to use a lot of medium settings to get 60+fps. A Geforce 560Ti will do you well on the nvidia side. Not sure about the Ati side of things. But you need a quad core CPU imo.

The best fun to be had with battlefield 3 is sharing banter on voice comms and working as a team. Worrying about K/D ratio is selfish, but thats the way a lot of people play. I'd much rather finish with a low K/D but a good team score and win rather than finish with a great k/d ratio but play alone and finish on the losing team (if you play conquest that is :P)

Next time i see you guys online im going to have another bash at your tags. I hope you will treasure mine Maya. :)

I'd advise on a 6950 minimum if you like to play at least high settings on the Ati side. I run two 6950's and run @ ultra +4xaa ~ 1080p. I managed to run the above settings on one 6950 with AA disabled.

Word is it's not fixed. Well not on PS3 anyway. Will be called prone MAV riding :P

We know MAV riding still can be exploited :( Admins: I will ban players doing this on servers I admin, suggest the same until fixed.

Today, we are also offering 10 different shortcut items for sale for Battlefield 3 on PS3. If you’re new to the game, this is the perfect way to gain some ground on the veterans online. Or if you’d love to get some more air time in the jets but want to equip those AA missiles straight away, this is for you.

The 10 shortcut items are available now from the PlayStation Store and the in-game store and include these:
Kit Shortcut Bundle: Immediately unlocks all items unique to the four playable classes
Vehicle Shortcut Bundle: Immediately unlocks all items for all vehicles
The Ultimate Bundle: Immediately unlocks all items from all other available shortcut packs

If this comes to PC I am officially done with BF3, and DICE.

Oh lord, this will probably end in a way where the unlocks/assignments become so ridiculous that the only way of completing them is to buy them.
I personally do not care much about stats but I can see where EA sees money.

I see no issue with paid shortcut packs. If anyone sees that as not being fair then it's no different then when a new player starts playing months after release or the person who only plays on the weekend VS the person with tons of free time who plays 10+ hours a day and unlocks everything in a short time.

To me having the shortcut option evens the playing field. Well I'd rather there was no unlocks crap but you can't win them all.
