Battlefield 3

Hey guys, I haven't played since December, the bugs were just too much for me. I'm in the mood to start again ...

Is everything sorted now? What's new? What kind of patch size am I looking at?

Wondered where you've been :D

Not sure what bugs you had but most of the issues are sorted and the latest patch is great. Game feels smooth and the way it should

Gotta love that new AUG smoke glitch though. Funny as hell:D
 
The bugs back then were crashes at the end of a round and also server disconnects. Hell of a irritating.

The crashes and disconnects have been fixed. I think my game has crashed once in the last few months.
 
It sped up after a while.

Just bought the premium edition as well - yeah baby! :)

Like 90% of the guys I get killed by have premium, glad to see the servers won't be empty when they run DLC like what happens in other games.
 
thinking of taking leave :o or maybe take leave Wednesday; cause tuesday could mean midnight release + there may be other issues on the day ?
 
The bug where you get the black screen of eternity at the end of a round still happens to me but thankfully quite rarely. I do still have hard lock crashes unfortunately as well. And menu-over-live-play bug is ever present.

Also wanted to ask you guys if you've noticed this: when you get killed and revived and then killed again almost instantly, previously the player that killed you second would only receive the 100 points but not the kill. Now it seems that player does get the kill. I've had numerous times now where I get downed, rezzed and killed again with another 'you were killed by' message coming up - sometimes before the first has even faded away. This happens within an instant of being revived.
 
Yup, killed Timsteh last night like that, 1 after another. Does that mean I get 200 points? Seems unfair :/

In my view, getting the points is fine because you stopped the enemy player from re-entering the fray so you should get something. Plus, we always did get the points anyhow. What we didn't get was the kill and everything that comes with that (KDR impact, nemesis chance increases etc.). For me, at a push, the guy receiving the kill is maybe acceptable (not great) but maaaybe, just barely acceptable. What I'm not sure of yet, and this will piss me off big time, is if the player who is killed does indeed receive a death when killed immediately after the revive. This brings us back to the problem BF2 suffered from where downed players would rage hard at any medic who revived them by accident in a bad situation because it cost them a life. Also, other consequences were things like mates joining opposite teams on comms, one goes medic and gets his team mate isolated where friend can kill him. Then matey revives - friend kills, matey revives again, friend kills...rinse, repeat.

They had it sorted in BF3 for crying out loud but it seems like in true fashion they could've gone and screwed up a perfectly good, working system. Again.
 
I know with squad team deathmatch if you get killed and revived it doesn't increase you're deaths.

Not to sure about the other game modes.
 
killa are you trying to get a rocket launcher tag mastery? Cause you probably killed me 4 times last night in one round with rocket launcher?

No hard feelings should really try and get out of the way lol

Naaa you have to get 20 rockets kills for the assignment. Got it done and put the rocket away for tank servers :D
