This was originally going to be a positive review of BF3′s multiplayer… but then the article lagged out and for every three words I wrote, two of them lagged right off my page before finally informing me there must be a problem with my words, would I please check my keyboard and try again.

I thought this was odd as I had just finished writing some words about another game, and they didn’t lag all over the page with sudden punctuation marks appearing out of nowhere. I guess if all my other words on every other subject work fine, but not for a BF3 review, it has to be my fault and not BF3′s fault that my words don’t work. Thanks for clearing that up for me EA.

It pains me to say this as a long time Battlefield fan but till they sort out the servers so I can walk for longer than 2 seconds without rubber-banding back to my original position, BF3 can suck it.

Ports are open, all other games work fine and DO NOT lag like this. This has been a constant problem for myself since release making it extremely hard for me to recommend this to anyone in it’s current state. Don’t get me wrong, if it worked, I’d love this game. As it stands it’s an exercise in frustration, all the way from simply trying to get in a game on the same side as your friend, to just trying to navigate the map without rubber-banding all over the place. I turned off in frustration for the last time yesterday feeling it was just pointless to keep trying to play through it.

I had heard today that the servers have been updated so I hold some hope that tonight may be slightly less painful. If not, I’ll be hammering Uncharted 3 some more.

If things are working out for you in BF3, I’m envious

After holding Farm on the Laguna Alta map for the majority of a conquest round, the opposition sent 6 players and 1 tank and captured the base. Thanks to a lucky respawn on a still standing squad member, I managed to get two RPG shots off on the tank…

…both missed by a mile, BUT, managed to take out the remaining two walls of the farm building causing it to collapse, killing the 6 opposition players in one glorious demolition kill!

Incredible game. More to follow soon.

Cant wait to get hold of this tomorrow…

Managed to stick to my guns and didn’t buy MW2. Judging by all the accounts of glitching, modding, and cheating I’ve read about lately I did the right thing.

In preparation for BC2 I started playing the first Bad Company game and was reminded just how great the Battlefield series has been. I bought it about a year ago preowned and only did the first couple of levels for some reason that I cant remember now.
