battlefield 3

Hi who has upgraded to premium here?

Ive been playing it on xbox and like the maps a lot.

The downside i think is the 16p limitation.

You dont really have time to destroy much as you spend

most of the time running around...like in cod. Makes my thumb hurt!!

 
I've got Premium and I've been fighting my way though all the new weapon unlocks, I have to say that the SCAR L and L86 have gained a place in my top favourites, they're like ruddy automatic sniper rifles!

Not played any of the new maps yet, need to get some games done to unlock the JNG 90 and the LSAT... Though I'm not particularly turned on by either of them, or the maps, so it might be a while before I bother.

WorMongers, feel free to add me - Bullet4MyEnemy

New maps arn't bad.

And a still a lot bigger than the large COD maps :P

 
So the new maps and weapons are worth buying? I was interested by the l86 because I'm always using the l85 but if the maps aren't any good then its not worth the money to me.

 
Since the latest update, I've had huge issues with connection quality.

Before the release of Premium and CQC (or whatever it is..), I could connect to pretty much any server, no problem and have almost no issues in-game with ping around 30-50.

Since the update, all the servers in the server list are showing 300+ ping, or not even showing any, apart from the rare few showing 30-50 like before.

Sometimes I join a server it just disconnects me, with "Unable to connect to EA Online" or "Disconnected from Server" messages. Then clicking "retry" just tells me the server cannot be found, then I likely never see the server again.

When I eventually get into a game, no matter what ping it showed in the server list, whether it's 30 or 700, I have one of the following:

- Constantly high ping, 300-500+.

- Fluctuating mid-high ping, 50 for a few seconds, then 300 for about 30 seconds, then back down to 50 again.

This is every server I join. Regardless of location, I've tried UK, US, Russian, German, Japanese etc. servers, same result.

It's not my PC or Internet connection. No other games do it, I get constant 30-40 ping on CS:S and other games.

I'm not downloading anything, I've even disconnected everything else in my house from my router and tried at all times (peak and non-peak), which made no difference.

I've re-installed Origin and BF3, which made no difference either. Restarted the router countless times and restarted my computer even more.

With EA Support I got into a continuous loop of "Have you tried re-installing Origin and BF3", "Yes, it made no difference", "Try it again.".

No help found on the forums either, all the moderators just say they'll let the developers know, even in 6 month old threads, so obviously they've doing nothing about it.

Does anyone have this problem, or even better, a solution to it!?

Any help at all would be amazing.

BUUURRRRRNNNNN

Not often you get to stick it to a PC gamer lol

 
There's an issue with punkbuster at the moment, which means all ranked servers are getting laggy.

Dice are apparently fixing it tomorrow evening though :/

Only started happening in the last few days though. Dunno if its this that is causing you problems.

Anyone who has Premium or the CQC DLC, what is "Gun Game" (or whatever) game mode?

 
Simmilar to the CSS/COD versions.

Everyone starts with a pistol, and after 2 kills with the weapon they progress onto the next gun. There are 15 guns or something.

Everyone gets the same gun list in the same order.

First person to the last stage (knife) and gets a kill wins.

Gun master you mean?

It's terrible. Worst game mode ever in my opinion.

Basically, you start off with a pistol, then for every two kill you get, you get a new gun.

So you have a gun, get two kills, get another gun etc etc. Once you've got through 16, you have to get a knife kill to win.

So it's the first to get through all the guns, basically.

 
Yeah. I actually get on with it on BF3

Everyone has same guns, makes it more of a pace of skill rather than playing with overpowered / favourite guns.

 
Sounds good to be honest, I love playing it on CSS, nice to see it in a more 'controlled' game, if you know what I mean.

 
Just prepare to be frustrated with some of the guns :P

Theres the MK3A2 shotgun with frag rounds, and the Grenade Launcher which annoyingly shoots timed grenades.

Both horrible to try get kills with.

 
It'll be good. Does it have a time limit?

Now I just need to work out how I'm going to spend £40 on Premium..

 
Keeps on going AFAIK

doesn't take too long a game though compared to the larger games of conquest / rush

Love running round knifing people though as it demotes them a gun XD People get so angry

 
That's alright then.

Some games take ages, one server played a game of rush for a couple of hours, 500% tickets.

Was on defending team and we held them off until about 20 tickets left, then let them plant. Until the last objectives, then we won :P .

I like doing that on CSS. People get really angry on BF3, especially when I kill them through smoke, or snipe with an ACOG..

 
Screw that. I love taking out snipers from the other side of the map with a shotgun w/ slug rounds :P

 
Slugs + M1014 + Extended mag + Eotech = Win!

I used to really hate shotguns, but you have to use them if you want to get all the weapons, so I chose that set up for a bit more range and omg, I totally bossed that game. The damn thing's like a laser cannon.
