I waited and waited hoping this would be on Steam, but I finally got over myself and bought it and i'm LOVING it.

It's been quite an unproductive weekend so far - already level 22 :laugh:

Have a i5-750 and HD5850, running at all High with some ultra settings and it's real smooth.

At the time of writing, there are only 1860 left!

:D

They're not that rare in game. Got 2 of them from enemies and saw plenty others (that killed me) with them.

K, found the answer out to my question, it works for all accounts valid on your PS3.

That was my guess but I was not sure so did not answer. But makes sense, that is how PSN purchases are handled, it is hardware related, so figured games would be the same, and glad to hear that was the case. (Y)

My new favourite act: running chasing tanks on foot like a mad man (out of the gunner's sigh of course) and deploying 2 C4, and running away detonating and laughing maniacally. Granted, due to getting caught in the act many time it ends up becoming kamikaze, catching myself with the splash damage, but SO worth it. Especially when deep in enemy territory. I apologize if one of you 360 players fall victim to it, haha.

Okay. All I can say to this is if you can here your fan while playing Battlefield, you have your volume entirely to low. :laugh:

I do realize there are plenty of reasons why one would have to play it at a low volume though, roommates, parents, children, neighbors, etc. etc., so if it is that loud, totally understandable.

So it will not harm my GPU at that temp?

Nope, I have had quite a few cards that got that high, and even a bit hotter, under a full load as I was overclocking. Basically if your card gets to hot, you will know it. There will either be artifacts (squares of color, in my experience usually green or purple) and/or the game will just lock-up or crash.

Just to clarify, we are talking Fahrenheit and not Celsius correct?

Ok my roommates and I have been playing a lot of conquest but we come from mostly RUSH. I / we do not understand the point of capturing bases in Conquest other than for extra points. Do the bases provide any actual help? Or would we be just as well off not worrying about thebases except for points? ( my mindset= WoW, where bases mean reinforcements or resources).

Okay.. R6 server update is out.. FINALLY.. I lost full server many times due to their crap.

R6 brings the following updates/patches:

- End of round crash fix

- Connection fix to avoid players occasionally being rejected during a join attempt

- Ghost server fix

- Enhanced kick reasons to better match situations for which they are issued

Btw, I'm introducing for members of Battlefield Veterans Platoon [bFVP], rewards every month starting November. At the end of November the best player in each class will get a game or a Blu-ray movie.

So join up Battlefield Veterans, play on BFVP Battlefield Veterans server (it's mixed - Rush 64 and Conquest 64)

Also, I would like to hear people's favorites here so I can put them in circulation:

Say your favs for Rush and for Conquest please. Thanks.

I'm also running a small server, just finished setting it up today. It's currently on a full rotation of Conquest Small, Rush and TDM

The enemy tickets go down faster the more flags you hold, If you have less flags for most of the round you are probably gonna lose. CQ is all about making the enemy tickets go down to 0 before yours.

Seriously?? When I am responding from my iPad I make a ton of spelling mistakes, and quite frankly I could care less if my spelling is wrong in a thread about a video game, especially if the overall message of whatever I was saying still makes sense.

Way to contribute to the thread as well, real stellar observation. :rolleyes:

EA just released 6 new screenshots from the upcoming Strike at Karkand map, from the Back to Karkand expansion pack. In addition, EA revealed that Back to Karkand will be coming this December, and will include 10 new weapons (full list here), 3 new vehicles (including the BTR-90 and the F35B jet), and a “new persistence system where players complete assignments to earn their rewards”. In addition, the DLC will include new dog tags and new Xbox 360 achievements/PS3 trophies.

Back to Karkand is free to everyone who bought the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3. The DLC includes 4 Battlefield 2 maps remade for Battlefield 3: Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman, Wake Island and Sharqi Peninsula. You can check out the first screenshots of the new Karkand map below:

Really digging this game, a whole lot more than I thought I would.

I mainly bought it for my girl friend. We were both dead broke this weekend, but bored. I looked at her and was like, babe, I'm going to sacrifice some of my library for you, and traded in 6 games to get it lol, but they were games I had already beat or haven't played in a year at least :p.

We ended up playing this game for about 5 hours straight yesterday. Just amazing. And I don't think we re-played 1 map the whole time.... How many maps are there already?

She did most of the playing, but for the couple of rounds I played, the game was pretty intense and I wasn't having a hard time staying at the top of the score board. Just kept running for the objectives, spawning on my team, and keeping low near objects. I was easily going 3/1, which is unheard of for me in a console FPS.

The graphics on the PS3 are just top notch for console. There is a minor issue of texture pop in, but it only happens with little things like rocks and grass, and it subsides after a few minutes of playing. The sound are crisp and amazing.

My only complaint are the logging in issues with EA. A lot of things just seem to work when they want to.
