I have done this several times with no change

edit: I was just able to join a game dunno what changed

 

[sk3tch]

Love it...two nights in a row of significant outage time for (supposed) significant upgrades and we're still experiencing problems. It's as if EA has never launched a big MP game before!

 

[tjohn86]

pc dead?

 

[kamspy]

the medics have taken down the pc servers.

the lmgs must get more recoil.

 

[Spire]

I just logged in and found a server on PC. Not sure what problem you guys are experiencing.

 

[DisenLedZep]

Guys, quick question.

EA and DICE announced that there will be a new map pack soon ("mapathy"). They said that this pack will be free to VIP members... What the hell is a VIP member? xD

I have the Steam Limited Edition of the game, will I have to pay for those maps?

Thanks in advance

 

[Violater]

unlocked everything, now what?

 

[UFRA]

unlocked everything, now what?

Play the game however you want without any worries?

 

[BobsRevenge]

unlocked everything, now what?

Play the game for fun?

No, you won't pay for these maps. "VIP member" is just a way of saying people who buy it new and not used (game comes with VIP code for consoles. None for PC I think since it don't need any).

That said, they seriously can't be competing with "mapathy" since the 2 maps are already in the disc and are already playable. They are just unlocking the game-modes (i.e. Conquest for the Rush map and vice versa) for these maps.

That said, whoever pays for "mapathy" is dead to me, since Infinity Ward is being blood-sucked by Activision.

 

[derFeef]

Huh? You played because of the unlocks? Ha, makes me happy, I play because of fun.

Quick question for GAF:

How do snipers get on that ledge by A on Laguna Presa? I tried multiple times to get up there myself but with no luck.

 

[mexpak]

This is my first Battlefield and it's pretty cool, I can't imagine why I never bothered checking out the series beyond the '42 demo back whenever.

Do snipers have to lead their targets at all? I know about the bullet drop but can't quite tell if I need to be leading or not

 

[bucknuticus]

unlocked everything, now what?

Go outside now?

 

[desu]

pc dead?

Working fine here.

Bullets drop and take their time to reach a target. So you need to plot and consider both distance and speed of the target & bullet.

You do have to lead moving targets.

EDIT: Beaten.

I like this answer
And I was kidding guys

 

[Baloonatic]

Failed to connect to EA online :/

 

[bucknuticus]

Anyone else think the vehicle perks unlocked way to quick?

 

[Revolutionary]

[Lkr]

I got all the medic unlocks and now I'm depressed. Assault is decent, recon and engy suck

 

[NIN90]

Servers not working or something? First time playing it. This doesn't bode well.
Server browser doesn't find any servers and the matchmaking doesn't find any games either.

PC here.

I´m sorry, I can´t hear you over the sound of drilling your face in.

Dead wrong.

 

[NIN90]

Yeah fuck you DICE. This happens every fucking time when they launch a BF game.
Bunch of incompetent cunts. :lol

I've quite honestly not had many problems until after today's extended maintenance. I'm sure they were meant to be making it better but now I'm losing connection to games and the server browser is being very picky about when it actually finds servers.

 

[Ikuu]

Eng. is an awesome class, fuck playing it like you're supposed to and I'd say the best loadout is:

Gun: Take whatever you want here; SMG, shotgun, M1, it doesn't really matter
Sidearm: Again whatever you want, take something like the M1911 or the REX.
Launcher: Carl Gustav
Perk 1: Increase explosive amount
Perk 2: Increase explosive damage

And now you run with 8 rockets and you it just takes a single one to kill someone, it's really easy to aim and if your Assaults drop ammo boxes you'll never run out of rockets.

 

[JB1981]

Um I can't download this patch, it's hard resetting my PS3 every fucking time


Nevermind ... Had to pause my background downloads and now it's fine

 

[dskillzhtown]

Yeah fuck you DICE. This happens every fucking time when they launch a BF game.
Bunch of incompetent cunts. :lol

Yeah because Dice runs EA servers. riiiiight.

 

[NIN90]

Yeah because Dice runs EA servers. riiiiight.

Then it's EA's fault. I don't care. Their product doesn't work.

Question:
I have 4 friends + myself that wants to play this game. Problem is, as shown in the beta, theres only room for 4 people in a squad. Is this true in all game modes? If so, is there a way to communicate withthe rest of the team (this was annoying in the beta/demo).

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

LOL!

Funny thing just happened.

A opponent and I killed each other at the same time. And both of us were revived and then we killed each other again!

:lol

Yes and no, respectively.

Sucks that you can't chat with the whole team D:

Ventrilo on PC. Way better than any ingame VOIP.

Just rock Vent. Or skype. Or TS. Or any of the other billion VOIP programs.

 

[eternaLightness]

Thank God, the store works finally.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I just noticed that by putting voice-overs to localized I can understand what they're saying! I'm stupid to miss this this whole time! :lol

It sounds better. Sounds like a movie with the accents!

 

[Arsenic]

Ahh PS3 only :/

Most of these guys aren't by a computer as they play.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Yes and no, respectively.

Sucks that you can't chat with the whole team D:

Not sure if you're talking PC/console here, but on PC press "K" by default to text chat to the rest of the team.

But if you're with buddies and there's more than 4 people, just get a Vent server going.
