You guys are going crazy over a rumor! No, we are not resetting EVERYONE'S stats. Why would you guys think we would do that??

Anyways, we are working on this and the changes will be implemented very soon! Sit tight folks, and i really appreciate everyone who is team killing people to stop them from cheating and taking the loss of points for it. That shows how dedicated you guys are to this game, and again i really appreciate it.

Sounds like these changes may have been the cause of the current connection issues.

Well, looks like the online got fucked up. Guns, awards and unlockables all gone, except for the dog tags. If you play ranked games right now, your rank points won't rise either.

Yeah, my friend was pissed off about that.


In the demo, the singleplayer pissed me off how every enemy shoots at you and in the multiplayer, I found it boring.. and then when the enemy finally came they were in tanks or just killed me too easily.

I think PS3 owners have a few freezing (lag) issues, but nowhere near the problems on Xbox 360.

yeah, I haven't had any problems on the PS3 but I didn't play this morning before work, so I was wondering if the "can't find the soldier" issue people seem to be having today is happening on the triple as well?
 
For some reason EA 360 online games seem to have more problems in general than the PS3 versions (such as Team Fortress, Army of Two and now this game). Very strange.

I cannot tell you how much I've had to do this lately.... it sucks.

The rest of the team is trying to dig in and fight, then we have 2 guys go off and try to exploit and not help at all. This leads to me putting a knife to their throat...

I've usually got a shitton of points to spare, so killing a cheater is no sweat to me. Either I'll knife you or pick you off from a distance...

Dammit, play the fucking game and stop trying to fix the flipped humvee!
 
The humvee glitch was fixed last week. If there are still people trying to boost out there, well, I guess they missed the memo.

EA should reset the ranks of the first 1000 or so players who have scores from 300k to the ridiculous 1.1 million - obvious cheaters.

I'm getting massive, nearly game killing freezes on my PS3 copy. It just started this weekend, up until then I hadn't had an issue. The game will just sit there for around 30 seconds and not do anything, then just resume like nothing had happened.

Voice really needs to be fixed too, it's driving me insane getting TKs because nobody can talk.

yep, and they should reset people that only have 2 kills and are rank 25 :( I see way to many of them on the leader board :(

I was out of town this weekend so didn't play until last night but I've had one game (out of close to a hundred I'd guess) that had lag. I agree though, I keep getting more and more annoyed that I have to use skype to communicate in this game.
 
this is old, but i don't see it mentioned in the thread...

i think i'll clip that last bit and make it my new text message sound, replacing the jetsons doorbell...
 
Ive been team killed when trying to set up charges on crates. And ive mistakenly killed dudes in my team. I Reeeally hate the fact that you can kill teammates here.

no voice bugs ive encoutered yet on the 360.... although once in a while i get booted out of the game for no particular reason.

I don't even mean voice bugs, I'm talking about the whole sound of the entire game just cutting out, or getting a ton of static like noise from the game. It kinda reminds me of the Condemned 2 PS3 sound issues but the cut out of the sound lasts longer here.

I actually like it. It makes people think before the chuck a grenade in or fire a rocket or mortar launch at a site. War is hell.

agreed... BBC gets credit for this. Of course, assumes a player is bothered by killing teammates which (unfortunately) is not always the case ;(

I agree, you really have to be careful when driving a tank around because of stupid teammates, but if they're dumb enough to walk out in front of me they deserved to be crushed. :lol

I've always thought friendly fire should be on by default in just about every team shooter as along as it gives you the option to boot a repeated team killer.
 
Just wanted to know if other people have serious lag problems too. They started for me after the stats went up again. (PS3)

yeah but it makes for easyer griefing and tking :(
 
The squad respawn pisses me off soo much. I hate when you get into a nice spot or decide to do a run around. Oh wait...now this nice spot behind the enemy base has 3 other people up there ruining it. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Its like always having someone follow you around. Want to keep it on the low? they open up with a support? Have a small spot...they will push you out of it.

I really wish they would let you turn it off or something

In a team game its more about a succesful group achieving the goal rather than a solo guy imo.
 
Online seems to working properly again. And I found a seriously overpowered weapon, the UMP unlockable. Jesus christ, it was almost a game breaker for me (until I unlocked it for myself, that is). They should tone down the insane killing power of that weapon.

Eh it is, but no one seems to want to do team stuff unless they are defending, on the attack its "Im John FUCKING Rambo!!!" solo man, so it get boring fast....... that or everyone thinks they are hot shit snipers...... man that pisses me off.

Anyone have Audio issues on the PS3 version? i get this sort of gun firing noise, repeated a billion times over the top of each other sort of thing, cuts all other audio off.

I had no problems with the Demo on PS3. Anyone else with the PS3 version having lag issues?

Im having lag issues....... whenever i die LAG!!!!!!!... nah i probly got a half,1/4 sec delay, i will knife someone but end up being shot first then just scream at the TV, but doesnt stop me from winning many a round.

How did they fix it? What happens to the overturned vehicles?

As far as I can tell, it works exactly as it did, only this time players are not awarded any repair points. I'm thinking EA set it so that only damage sustained through weaponry can earn you repair points.

I agree with you, although I also support the argument that the game is designed around teamwork. Still, the option to turn it on or off at our discretion would have been so easy to implement, so there really is no excuse.

To be honest I much preferred the BF2 system where the squad creator (and thus the leader) would be the single squad spawn point. It added another layer of strategy since losing the leader would be losing a vital spawn point.
 
Still haven't picked up the game yet, but aside from the very first day of the beta (which was plagued with people burning it onto DVDs to play which was obviously more than EA expected), it had always been zero lag for me, even the demo is lag free, and I played it a few hours ago again...
 
This is really pissing me off.

For some reason (and I've tried a bunch of stuff already), I can't get my Xbox 360 gamertag to link up with my EA ID account.

The PSN ID works fine, but trying to link a gamertag always returns this page that says "system error. try again later".

Argh... if I can't sign into my 360 account, I don't get the auto-shotgun, or my damn photos!

Any ideas?

I got it working by doing it through their UK site instead of the NA one. They use a different system where they send an email to your EA account that attaches your gamertag. Worked like a charm for me.
 
Of the 19+ hours I have played in the full version, I have only experienced lag about 1% of the total time or less. And it never stayed. It always seems to correct within the match.

Apparently, the EA global conglomerate site is too sophistated and complex for me to figure out.

How do you do this? I managed to log in at electronicarts.co.uk and see my EA account there, but there's no option to link your gamertag.
