So, are the Xbox servers down yet? Who wants to bet they will be by 6pm if they aren’t already. When BC2 came out they were on and off for a week.
With the big name releases coming out this time of year like Halo: Reach, BF3, COD, and a few others I can’t remember, I think they are better prepared for all the load. I mean COD already has 2.5 Million pre orders for Xbox alone so they know there is going to be a shit ton of players as soon as possible.
I think it was EA that had the problems last time.
37% done…

Game is pretty awful in my opinion. Feels like a beta. So many problems. Our team was spawning with 60% health. The kill cam is retarded. I think it could be good with a few patches
Just finished my first round…21 and 8, thanks alot to the vehicles…pretty decent so far
Installing…
70%…
Prolly not playing tonight.
It does pain me to spend $65 on this game knowing that MW3 will pwn my life in less than 3 weeks.
I got mine to work.
Turned fan speed up, declocked to 850mhz.
I can run on ultra settings now without lag or anything. Sweet.
GPU idles at around 72C while in game.
Alot of weird things about this game. Why no VOIP in game? Why have the server list in a browser window? Why does the chat window take up sooo much of the screen? Why no commander? Why was my team spawning with 60% health?
ProgRocker87 for PC add me up.
So far almost all of my complaints from the beta are gone.
I can’t believe what a hog this game is… (as I’m downloading the most recent nvidia drivers, lol)
Just played some of the campaign… thus far way too damn much of it is scripted. When you die it takes forever to respawn, i7 + 6GB ram + SSD + GTX295 shouldn’t bottleneck at all… so not sure why my experience has been good and not great.
Added.
Core i7 unlocked 2600K, 8 gigs G-skill sniper ram , XFX radeon 5870 (which is actually faster than a 6850, you cant just look at model numbers here ) Vertex Agility 3 Sata III SSD. No problems at all. Keep in mind the SSD really just allows you to load the map quicker. ( I don’t believe any one map is larger than 4-5 gigs as the game in entirety is 15.4 gigs ) I assume you are running Windows 7 64 bit correct?
Add me on PC:
Motocrossx23
I have yet to connect to multiplayer, just keeps saying matchmaking
I played a bunch last night, definitely an awesome game. I’m Shockwave179 on PC as well.
finally got on but every single game I joined i got kicked my the administrator, glad I paid $60 for a game that took me 4 hours to beat and cannot play a full online game…
I got kicked by an admin last night as well. I think it was cause he just wanted to practice flying. Both my friend and I got kicked right after we neutralized a flag. We both had luck in the =E= servers, which also are in BF2 that we play on.
^^ No one buys this game for the single player. It’s only there to showcase what the game can do and since it’s on counsels this time around. BF2 had no single player campaign or story at all.
For anyone using that “find match” for multi-player STOP IT. Click the server link right below the big yellow button and find a server manually. Otherwise you’ll be sitting there forever.
I had an initial problem with the new driver but sorted it out.
The game loads very fast for me and I’ve had a few times where it’s hard to get into games because all the servers are always full, lol.
There has been a few times where the game will initially load and the server (admin or something) will kick me out, but the .EXE won’t close and stays running in the background. I then can’t get into any other game until I go to task manager and manually end the .EXE - this has happened maybe 4 times. Easy to figure out though.
Everything is great except for my video card, lol. My Automatic settings give me med-high settings, but If I want to play at 30pfs I need to have it on low-med… and that’s overclocked (GPU hit 83 degrees at one point.) I only have a 540M so I wasn’t expecting ULTRA, but I’ll need to tweak it a bit more. I’m essentially playing on a laptop… I wonder if I can crack this thing open and somehow upgrade the GPU, lol.
The most confusing part of this game was the fragmentation of the used programs. From what I can tell there are 4 different things running when you’re in a game:
- BF3 .EXE which is the core game and only launches after you choose how to play in the browser window
- Origin which only servers to launch the browser?
- Your browser with the webpage open
- Some program (BF communicator? I can’t remember the name) that runs your voice control like team-speak?
Anyone else figure this all out?
Xbox was down yesterday too BTW so PC isn’t the only ones experiencing problems. And problems are to be expected. BF2 was patched how many times?
I’m OnyxZ32 (no space) in the game if you guys add me. I’ll add you guys in a bit.
