The Official Battlefield 3 Thread

Just hop on whatever platform you prefer and download the demo. It’s available to everyone now.

It’s because of EA shoving software like Origin down PC gamers throats why I consider playing the damn thing on console a much better experience… No shit to deal with, just plug and fing play.

One thing I dont like about playing it on PC - you have to hold down the shift button to run. I really cant stand that shit, I would rather just have to push it once instead of holding it down.

There’s no toggle option? Maybe you could move the key to a different key that is easier to hold down? Just brain stormin.

Was wondering if there was an issue on 360 so I have been playing it on PS3. I’m getting hit markers with shotguns and not happy about it. Then again it’s on wifi. Playing CoD has messed me up cause when I want to go prone I always press the wrong button and die.

Yeah, dl’ed to 360 beta, and can’t get into any games. Something must be fucked with the servers

what style you play? Tactical or reg? I personally blame WiFi

God, the ground is so fucking buggy at the beginning of the Metro map. I understand it’s a beta, but Jesus…

CB Is ace.

Added you on BL, dirzzt.

360 servers have been down nearly all day =[

Right on. I saw you hit me up for some games but I was relaxing outside and then I sat down with the family for dinner. You on the east coast or west coast or in some other country?

edit - ah never mind I just clicked on your avatar and it showed me. I’ll probably play some in about an hour or so, so I’ll see if you’re on and join you if you are.

I’m about to get on right now for a few more games.

If anybody in on PC you can add me on Origins, just search PimpWilly. Probably try to get some games of this in tonight, or SC2, havent decided yet

Cool, I’ll be on in a few minutes. Gonna sit down and have a smoke then I’ll be on. Gettin’ them kids ready for bed can be a hassle some nights. hehe

I finally figured out why I am unable to import my friends lists from xbl and psn. For some reason EA Origin has my old email address as the ones linked to my xbl/psn accounts. They said they couldnt do anything and that I would have to change my email on my xbl/psn accounts back to the old one or go to the website and update that shit. The problem with going to the site to update that shit is that I never used my old email address to sign up for Origin. Shit I never fucked with anything EA till yesterday.

I also didnt realize that the Battle Log friends list and Origin friends list are two separate things. I was trying to add you (Bigworm) via Origin and it wouldnt work but once I did it on BL it worked fine

edit - Ah, its says in the Battle Log (when you mouse over an icon) that the friends list import is not available in the beta. But in Origin it just tells me that my xbl gt is in use by another origin account.

gg, saw you in game but the PC version won’t let you change squad to whichever you want so we couldn’t squad up, bleh they need to patch that

I spent the whole night trying to figure out how to stop my second monitor from tearing after downloading the AMD driver update. So damn annoying. The game is beautiful but i’ve been dying to snipers like crazy and I’m not such a big fan of the pc version. I had way more fun playing on the 360 when it came to BFBC2. I just can’t get into the dam keyboard…

Word, but I thought I was on your team that whole time. I’m a dope.

I’m trying to figure out a place to put the “prone” button and the “sprint” button that’s more comfortable for me. I would like to bind prone to one of my mouse buttons but I cant. Its whack though because you have to be alive to go to the options menu and if you die it kicks you out of the menu. That shit was pissing me off. Trying to figure out what buttons do what and where I want to move buttons then bam, some jerky comes up and kills me and I gotta start all over.

Is there any sort of voice chat in the game? It sucks playing an objective game type and not being able to talk to your teammates. Sure you can text chat but that’s not too practical while in the middle of a shootout.

Good news… I stuck my xbox 360 in to play on PC and the shit works like a mother fucking charm!

GGs to Cawi and Akimbo, had to take a break sorry Veektor my eyes were starting to hurt.

For some reason the game doesn’t squad you up like it should and it separated us on different teams for no reason. Then Akimbo got salty because I took his dog tags.
