When was the last time you played Rush-Operation Metro? or Operation Firestorm?

This bullshit is going to destroy the game. It happened in UT2K4 at a point where every would vote for the same 3 maps over and over again, and if a different map was voted, 90% of the players would leave. Eventually everyone just became bored of the game left for good.

Is there no way we can contact people in charge of the servers and ask them to put in a map cycle?

i only play on servers that have other maps.

i mostly stick to the back to karkand servers but it doesn't help if your team wants to snipe from the carrier...

I see EA sent me a few e-mails, what do you think this means?

Heading - Bad content in profile

Petition history: On 01-09-2012 you asked Battlefield3 support:
Bad content in profile

I have also received a couple of these.

we received your petition and are currently investigating it

AFAIK you receive this email when EA initiates an investigating based on the report you sent in battlelog.

*Googles*

What Happens Next?

You will get an email within a day or two stating that they are investigating "bad content" in profile. This is basically a confirmation email that they have your report and are looking into it. The email is sent when they actually look at it so it isn't some polite courtesy email to make you feel important. Chances are, if the person is actually cheating, they will get wiped/banned.

After some thought I have to disagree with myself on this one.
This isn't the major problem with BF3.

The complete lack of ingame VOIP is the problem.
According to DICE we have to settle for battlelog sonar and other 3rd party apps, what they seem to forget is that these apps only work between friends and platoons. What we want is the ability to effectively communicate with the entire team (strangers).

You don't really need the commander mode to command a team, all you actually need is an effective way of communicating with the players.

What the game really needs:
- Squad chat
- Vehicle crew chat
- Team chat
- Proximity chat would be awesome

Adding something so simple to the PC version of the game would maybe take a day or two, probably less, so why won't they add ingame VOIP? DICE employees continuously tweet that they're happy with using skype, stating that we should do the same. I think the DICE employees should stop playing their own game and start coding.

Games.saix.net should host the ZA PunkBuster servers.

Come over to console. no hacking, but we have to deal with boosting instead

I look like a kid with an IQ of 2 with a FPS on console.

Origin update today, still says Beta though...

Still can't play BF3 on my 2tb drive thanks to a corrupt registry key that I can't find.
Works on my old 500gig drive and is fully updated there but won't install past Origin for my main install.
Considering a reinstall but how do you backup a 2tb drive?

With sacrifice.

Ctrl+A
Shift-Del

That will back it all up to heaven, or in your case all your files will find inner peace.



or

borrow a mates drive?

Or better yet, just run two separate drives.

This.

Tried a repair install?

Another Origin update today.

39MB

Still reading as a BETA
