is any having issues with the CD key in the LE version from a SHOP. Ive read reports that people have bought the LE version and when they enter in their CDKEY its just the normal version. (Receiving standard key in BF3 Limited Edition packaging). And when contacting EA they are telling people to contact the shop you bought it from cause its not there fault!

I don't get why everyone keeps using their live chat support... Are people afraid of picking up a phone?

I used both (live chat when their phone support was closed) and, yes, their live chat is slow, outsourced and lacking knowledgable reps, but their phone support was absolutely amazing; easily one of the best I've ever used. The reps I spoke with genuinely knew what they were doing and put a lot of effort in to help.

Seriously, if you're having trouble with anything, call their phone support! They're amazing.

The Good

  • The four classes work well and make sense
  • The vehicles provide many tactical possibilities
  • Jets are back!
  • The maps are varied and interesting
  • The Frostbite 2 engine provides amazing visuals and physics
  • The point system rewards different styles of play
  • Battlelog makes it easy to track your progress
  • The engine allows for everything from the sun to dust to hurt visibility, leading to extra tension
  • Unlocking new weapons and items is addictive

The Bad

  • Why does the chat box take up so much space on my screen?
  • The minimap is hard to read at a glance
  • Some maps become cramped with 64 players
  • Stability still needs to be improved
  • There are many game modes, but it's hard to find servers that are running something that isn't Conquest or Rush. This may also work under "The Good"

The Ugly

  • If you use the tactical light, you are a terrible human being, and are more of a danger to your own team than the enemy

Verdict: Buy

Hey guys got a question. So is it only certain classes have certain weapons? Like the Assault class can't have the M4A1 etc etc?

Yes, some weapons are only available in certain classes. There are other weapons that are available in all classes, like shotguns, some pistols and certain rifles.

bummer. I really wanted to use the M4 on Assault. Ah well. I guess I'll have to stick with my Engineer.

This times infinity.

So many wasted bullets and accuracy rating, by turning and seeing a stupid flashlight and firing only to realize it was a teammate, then we both get killed cause I couldn't see the enemy behind him. The tact. light and its users can burn in hell. :angry:

And enemies with it... doesn't really "blind" me, just paints a big target of "direction to shoot in for easy kill." I still hate the SOB though.

Anyone got tips on flying the jets with keyboard and mouse (Didn't play Bf2 very much)?

Otherwise I may need to connect my joystick :rofl:

What's wrong with the keyboard and mouse? :) They work fine with both chopper and jet. Though I use the WASD + Keypad for chopper and leave my mouse, easier that way somehow (did this back in BF1942)

I find it really hard to turn and aim in a jet, I continually crash. I guess I just need some practice but its annoying for the team if I keep crashing their jets :laugh:

I don't use it (stick with laser sight), but I can see the appeal. For those who prefer up-close fighting inside of buildings rather than running around in the open, it can be pretty useful. Whereas the laser in your face gives away position, a flashlight from 15ft away totally disorients you like a flashbang. I usually die due to flashlight maybe once every three rounds. Is it worth the annoyances? Probably not, but it's not *that* bad.

My main complaint is the stupid mortars that are killing me, lol. Oh well, it's my next Support unlock, so time for sweet revenge.

how do i check my nat?

its been fine since midnight launch and today..

edit now it works

They may have just been updating servers, its just gone midnight here in the UK so its now officially been launched.

Might have just been some tweaks or fresh servers starting up to cope with the extra players about to come online.
