Well I must say I'm a tad disappointed. Trying to get into a multiplayer match seems to take forever. I hate the web browser launcher (nice idea, but to be honest I don't want to look at the desktop while I'm waiting for a game, although it does at least let you browse the Internet while waiting - a better idea would be not making me wait). I tried campaign. Graphics are quite nice. Controller works perfectly, even if it does refer to the buttons as "button 1" etc in set-up - by default its mapped correctly to the 360 controller. One major issue though - the game has fucking QTE's, which I hate, and the controller isn't active during them - you have to use keyboard/mouse. So in other words; using the controller in multi, fine. Using controller in campaign, no can do. Stupid. Oh, and I think the stuttering may be related to mouse-polling. When I was using controller, smooth as butter. When I switched to mouse, the game stutters whenever you move. It's subtle, but damn annoying. I'm hoping they patch some of this crap real soon. |

Hm not sure if its a mouse issue, as today it 'was' working fine all morning no stuttering at all, so could have been I needed to reboot the machine perhaps after changing graphics, or perhaps its something else. Problem I get now is crashing, lockups or BSOD (just got one then) so not sure whats causing this but Im starting to think why the fuck bother with PC games anymore and just go back to console... less hassles overall and none of this stupid web based game menu shit all to add social activity crap into it. Seems to only have started since they took the server down for that 20min Battlelog update.. though I doubt its related. |

Hey Blue, have you OC'd your machine at all? Curious if you can play for a good few hours without any crashing or BSOD's etc? People claim its related to the graphics card or other parts being Overclocked. and causing it to crash with BSOD's |

No, since my rebuild I haven't bothered with OCing. Nothing really taxes my new system so haven't seen the point. I haven't had a crash yet, but haven't played that long either. |

I didn't OC it for anything really just upped the Ram to 2ghz since its stock is 2.2ghz or something like that and when I first installed it the mobo detected it at 1666 or 1800, something like that. Was curious if that was the cause, or the GPU was the cause but it sorta comes and goes, which leads me to think its the GPU drivers being in beta or the game. Since nothing else really has problems game wise. |

Have you checked to make sure your ram timings are correct? And voltage? When I over clocked my old system, the only time I got BSD's was from RAM related issues. Have you tried changing your ram back to stock speed? Might be worth trying. Edit - campaign sucks. Just thought I'd add that. Edited by felicitous blue, Friday Oct 28 2011, 12:36 PM.

Everything is upped via the ASuS mobo settings, it would warn me of issues since its some smart tech shit (whatever) I can use my PC for heaps of other demanding games and have no issues so i don't think its that, Ive been playing most of the morning now so far. The only issues Ive had so far (touch wood) is the server disconnects which I think the servers are crashing after 2-3 hrs. I would put the ram back to stock but tbh nothings changed since BF3 so chances are thats the fault.. what with beta NVidia drivers and a buggy game. I'd rather leave it until they fix it then go from there. |

Google it. You've played FPS shooters like CoD, so you know what its like.. its exactly like that.. BUT with vehicles. Nothing more to say other than.. what it really is. ![]() Oh and you won't like it, you'll play it and return it. |

It's better than COD, the use of actual tactics is required and teamwork is encouraged. Buy and try wolfman, that's my only suggestion. You may like it or you might not, if not just return for full refund and purchase sonic generations next week :p I'm still having issues with connection timeouts. Gotta have a good dig around later and try and fix it. Usually get a game in before it cracks it |

a) it has vehicles. b) battlefield is and has always been better than CoD c) its more fun that CoD larger maps, larger players, more tactics required than your solo gung-ho type player. d) better unlocks, since its such a large map you have better stuff to use. |

I'm not overly enamoured with the maps so far, mainly cause the games I've joined are all on the stupid metro based maps. Feels too much like COD. Some servers only have the metro maps in rotation, why for chrissake... Isn't bf supposed to be about the open spaces and multiple routes. |

Wolf, the city's open and is also late night trading. I think rockingham probably is as well. I know the city is for definite though. |

Yeah its not that great. Basically the upgrade system is similar to the usual upgrade principles, you reach a rank you get a new weapon, you use a class type you get xp to upgrade that classes equipment. In doing so, the weapon you use and make kills with (primary mainly) you'll gain extra bits, suppressor, scopes, fore grip, etc etc. so effectively each new rank/level of each class gives a new gun and you'll have to retrain it to gain each new bit for it. For example. Assault / Medic - Use M4A1 rifle make 20kills get a scope, make another 20 kills get fore grip. etc Once ranked up get M16A3 rifle, use this, make 20kills get a scope, make another 20 kills get fore grip. etc for that weapon. As you rank up you'd unlock other bits, defibrillators, camouflage, booster packs such as sprint speed, flak resistances etc overall throughout the global levels. Vehicles are the same you do kills in them you get unlock items to use. Its a bit complex in some ways compared to CoD, but I think thats mainly cos of the customisations on PC and setting them up as required. Not sure what else you'd need to know really. |

Thanks bro. That was so much for informative than anything else I've found on line. Do you think the upgrade and specialization is better than cod? |
