Aaaarrrrggggghhhhhh.

I come online to try and get a game before doing some dinner and what do I get?

"Failed to connect to EA Online. Please try again" over and over again

I HATE EA!

That may not be an EA problem. It could be on your side. I used to get that all the time on my PS3, found out it was the routers fault.

Jaynestown, stop being so picky and ripping the game apart cause you're getting your butt kicked by it

Only problem i've had with is the problems with Jets, like people instantly shooting me down, even with my flares. Something seems to be way off when i wait forever to shoot off my flares and then i still get hit 3 seconds later by the missile. Also getting instantly locked onto. I was in the air for 3 seconds at the beginning of the match, THE BEGINNING, first in the air on my team, just over the freaking mountain and the douche had already locked onto me, makes no freaking sense!

Chopper controls are hell to get used to. More akin to real life chopper controls than what BFBC2 controls were. Those choppers were cake to fly, these ones took me and President about 30 minutes to get the hang of. If you're too impatient for that then you should take up knitting.

Graphics are awesome, especially with the HD pack. It doesn't look dated or anything. Not as grand a step over Bad Company 2 but there's some noticeable change. People need things to hate on so they hate.

I need more people to play this game with, Failed wont accept my friend requests cause he's a meanypoopoopants and i've only played with Reaper since it came out. WTF guys!

Actually I haven't been getting my butt kicked... because I can't get a bloody game at the moment! And I'm sorry, but it must be EA's fault 'cos I haven't had any problems with the (million times) superior Gears Of War 3!

And as proof...

So yet another game released without adequate servers (Test Drive Unlimited 2 anyone?)

Wonder if the same will happen with MW3?

You sound like a Gears fanboy

(but lets face it, most people here are lol)

You've gotta be having really bad luck then, maybe you should stop stealing candy from little kids and get your karma to shift back to neutral/good

It'll probably happen with MW3, i remember when MW2 and Black Ops came out and we couldn't play them for 4 days after they're release cause of server issues. Could've just been on the PS3 side of things too but it was frustrating. Nothing like that has happened to Battlefield 3 though.

it's opening weekend, even i've had a little trouble finding a match and my connection is teh ninja. JT hosts all the time, his conn is top notch so he shouldn't have too many problems. It's just so many people are hammering it, that it's hard to not find a full server. MW3 will sort the chaff, we can all go back to enjoying B3.

Helicopters are a pain, i could barely learn to fly before i hit a crane.

Same goes for Gears 3, once MW3 comes out all the SOS noobs will bugger off and us hardcore Gears fans can enjoy the game properly.

SOS is hardcore now, Gnasher is for noobs

Yay, so now I'm actually looking forward to the release of MW3, how weird is that?

B3 was Â£1 cheaper in Tesco, if i pre-ordered MW3. I paid the extra Â£1 NOT to pre-order it. It looks amazing, but i know the campaign will be 8hours and i won't play MP. Not paying Â£40 for an 8hour SP.

GamerMan316 · October 30, 2011, 09:01:47 PM

If I can get it for Â£25 like with Black Ops then i'll get MW3 on release and trade it a few weeks later and get more than I paid for it.

Jaynestown · October 30, 2011, 09:03:28 PM

I'll get it in 12 months time when it comes down to Â£25

Failed · October 30, 2011, 09:04:42 PM

nah, i'd rather not give Activision my money after what they did to Bizarre

Jaynestown · October 30, 2011, 09:05:24 PM

A good point, perhaps I'll steal it
