I am now trouble shooting every damn thing one by one.
It can now only be one of 2 problems, of which I need to fixed 1 to do the other...
I'm missing SP2 for Vista - 350MB download and then IE9. Tried to get IE9 but it can't be installed on my current version of Vista.
So I guess I'm stuck till Tuesday.

Are you choosing where u wanna spawn? i usually spawn with team mates but i 1st check where they are. If they under fire etc i just respawn at the main spawning point. Shouldn't be enemies there but it does happen.

yep its like this in other bf games as well. What i have a problem with is that when pressing M, it doesnt open a full map. And also when on the spawn screen, and selecting a spawn point at a flag position (A,B,C) it doesnt show these very well on the map - you have to look for the little flashing white circle. Same thing when spawning on a squadmate, you have to look for the tiny flashing circle.
Its not a biggie, just a little annoying
Was so much simpler in bc2. The fun is over for me though, im in the middle of final year university exams. Just couldnt resist not playing on launch day though!
Its was also quite cool still seeing the servers packed at 3:30am! Hopefully it stays this popular. By 3am bc2 servers were dead and i usually game late night.

Its quite frustrating. Every time you think 'ok finally its all done and im ready to play'....and then there's something else that pops up requiring an update or download!

you dont have to, but its kind of an integral part of what makes battlefield different, the whole concept of squad play. You also get higher bonuses for certain things you do with a squad. Not sure exactly how it works in bf3, but for example in bc2 if you were to get a kill assist with a squad mate, you get double the points then if it was a kill assist with just another team member. Same thing for ammo ressuply etc etc.
Ive only played bf3 for a few hours so not entirely familiar with the points system yet...
Also, having a good well rounded and diverse squad can really be very effective on the battlefield, not to mention fun and rewarding.

Yes plenty of laggy servers, you be lucky to find one 64 player server that doesn't lag. :/ I get up, run, teleport back to where I was 2 seconds ago.
2 guys with 1 mbps line and 1 guy with a 4mbps line and all 3 of us lagging at the same times. Plus everyone complaining ingame chat :/

I have a 10mb line and on 64 player maps everyone teleports all over the place the lag is so bad. It's definitely the servers.

Silly question, you may not even know? but is it servers hardware specs? Or do these 64 player maps demand more bandwidth server side than our providers can supply?

No idea but I was thinking the same thing. May be a combination of both.

We changed our 64 player server {WrG} to 32 player because of lag issues. Either a hardware issue, or simply not enough throughput capacity on the delivery side. We'll soon see, because it's a shame to pay for a 64 player server and have to downgrade it because of lag issues.
