Battlefield 3

What are your pings like to the Dutch server? Is it playable?

220 i think, they have a ping limit but you would need to test it out, it runs perfect for me and a couple of my mates. Look it's a 200ms ping so expect to get shot around corner but the hitreg is spot on for me. You would need to test it out and see.

The best thing is no tube and rpg spam :D. metro is so much fun without that rubbish. I play on servers as well with a 350 ping and it isn't that bad. 24/7 grand bizarre is awesome, what i love about overseas is there is no lag, apart from the ping lag. You don't get that kuk lag because the server is overloaded.

Do you think its worth getting the game now, or should i wait for the next one?
 
The dutch server i play has this program running on their server, it seems if you kill two people with a tube you get a warning, then you get kicked if you do it again, if you come back and do it again you get perma banned. Awesome script or whatever they got going.

I must try this server. The spam fest in the local servers is really annoying me. I've also noticed the idiots that do nothing but tube from one spot the entire round. :mad:

BF2 was in 2005, BFBC was 2008, BFBC2 was early 2010, and BF3 was late 2011, so the next one will probably be somewhere in 2013 - my guess is late 2013.

There's soo much they can still do with BF3 in terms of DLC. Just like BF2, this game is going to be played for years. It's not like COD where you drop it every year for the new one, so I think its definitely worth getting.. its only just begun for BF3.

Get it! The game is just kicking off...its gna be a while till the next major release according to DICE. They say they are planning a range of DLC and intend to support the game for a while. My guess is 2-3 years till another bad company or big release.
 
You guys who enjoy long rounds... someone has set up a 35k ticket server! Apparently an average game lasts 1day 6hrs :/

I wanted to talk about our (my clan) Battlefield server that is currently running a 35k ticket 24/7 Metro. The name of the server is: [p0mp] Full Metal Metro and has been gaining interest by people from all around the world. A normal round lasts about 1 day and 6 hours and so far we've had 1 German player finish an entire round from start to finish.

This madness started when a friend of mine and I where smoking and achieved a respectable [8]. While messing with the gameModeCounter variable, to set the ticket-count, suddenly we had the ingenious idea to make it really, abnormally high. While entering the value we decided it had to be over 9,000 so 10,000 seemed a logical choice.

I did notice that Battlelog doesn't save the report of the game played after the round ends. It's a bit of a shame since I'd really like a Battlereport which shows the time the round took to complete. Since it isn't a perfect world and Battlelog still has lots of issues, I'll let this one slide. However I did report this bug to DICE but haven't had any response yet.

I'm glad to see so many people like these long rounds and to tell you the truth, it's been great fun playing. Since we're the only one to run a 35k ticket server, I was wondering what Reddit thinks of these type of matches.

If you want to know more about the server, statistics or anything else that comes to mind, please do ask! You can also find our server on GameTracker.com currently ranking 826th at the time of writing.

That German dude must be really dedicated :D
 
Was gaming a little while ago... And manning an AA emplacement... What I cant understand is how is it possible for some planes not to be shot down... While others disintergrate so easily... Is it a special armour? Or a clever hack?

Sometimes bf3 is a bit odd, like a buggie can take 4 rockets but a tube rapes it.
 
Anyone else having problems with maps sometimes not loading? Just a black screen with 'loading' in the right bottom corner.

all s.a server should have fix in place to auto kick players above 200 ping, not sure why they not doing it that should kick the hackers without admin being around before they get 115 kills :/

There is way to much hackers on sgs servers , can hardly play 1 round without a hacker being around.
