Battlefield 3 Catch-All

Anyone else having trouble connecting? I'm getting an error from battlelog: Game disconnected: Something went wrong.

I still love that error message, so deliciously vague.

I remember back in my programming days, a few of my programs used to throw a "Something Stupid Error" when I couldn't be arsed naming them properly.

I've been going back and forth on picking this up for the past week after rediscovering BF 42. When I saw the sale price in this thread I couldn't grab my wallet fast enough...now I need the premium content I guess.

I'd told myself I was over battlefield. I've played and enjoyed them all, except BF Modern Combat or whatever it was called, and had determined my desire to play the big FPS battlefield was gone. After a few nights of BF 42, some youtube, and reading various folks chatter about the game I've been pacing back and forth on the decision to pick up BF 3. Let the suckage begin.

Origin is selling the base game for $12, which is supposedly 70% off.

Maybe this is US only? The only discount I see on Origin for the base game is from £29.99 to £24.99. It is still shown in the 'Mystery Sale' as being on offer on the 16th however, but maybe that's a UK/EU only thing?

It was one day only. Not sure if it was US only.

Well, it turned out Origin's sale was a 50% off the base game. So, GMG got my monies with their 20% off code, £32 for the full whack.

I got the premium bf3 pack off origin as a gift. Are there many folks playing anymore? saxtusGWJ applied on the gwj premium and gwj charlie platoon.

We are few in numbers at this point. I play every now and then, but from time to time Goodjers will band together to play.

All you guys that just picked up the premium pack for BF3, should join the Platinum platoon too.

I just promoted a couple more guys that have been on often so they can accept people into the platoon as well.

(Haven't really had much computer access of late... god I regret throwing out that laptop).

So has anyone gotten the Rambo assignment tag? Any tips/map/game modes recommended? That multi kill is brutal to try and achieve.

Your best bet is to try to shoot down a transport chopper with a javelin or maybe a stinger. Going defense on Wake Island and spawning at A or E is a good place to try to get it. There is also a tank on those points so if you had a buddy who could get in the third seat you could use homing shells use homing shells

I recommend playing 64 player TDM on Norshar Canals. You need to be on a squad with a Recon that is placing their spawn beacon. Use their beacon and spawn as a Support with C4. Fly over opposing team wherever they are clumped and drop C4. When you are satisfied with the clump of enemies blow them up and hopefully get a multi kill.

Funny video but NSFW language.

Woot! After several days of trying and hundreds of deaths

Anyone having issues with punkbuster? I keep getting kicked. Going for another reinstall.

.. RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe

EDIT: and solved. In Programfiles/originGames/BF3, there is a pbsve.exe. Running that as admin restored the services.

DICE wants us to use bad guns so much they made an assignment for the MK3A1.

I still don't even have that unlocked. Need a couple more DPV kills IIRC.

I have 63 kills with it from Gunmaster/Scavenger, though.

Launch trailer:

Those bikes.... can't wait.

ugghhhhhhhhhhi can't wait til i get all my stuff moved cross country.

bf3 would be perfect for little sessions i do get at PC cafes, but none of these computers run BF3. =/

PC Premium is $25 @ Gamestop. If you've been on the fence, that's a good deal @ 50% off.

Endgame is finally out for PC Premium people. I haven't played in a bit due to work travel, but I really look forward to shooting some people soon.

Had a go. The bikes are a dream to ride, if you can find one. I ran over someone on my first outing.

Usually my skills have atrophied after such a long time away from the game but I was actually shooting and killing people. I may have finally reached the stage where I can turn on my Battlefield skills at will.

Didn't know this was out.. cool.

I don't play much BF3, but I love how you get absolutely no notification that the Expansion has been released for Premium members.

Email?

They're probably damned if they do, damned if they don't. Some people would complain about spam.

They definitely talk a lot about dates on twitter if you follow the official accounts.

You are fast!!! I edited my post b/c I realize I sounded quite entitled there.

6gb download, wtf??

I downloaded 6gb then went to play and now it's downloading another 4gb... Not sure what's going on.

There was a patch, then there was the DLC. But yeah, I thought they were supposed to have a better patch system than BFBC2 did. Seems not so true.

I'll try to play later on. Hope some of us can squad up.
