I noticed earlier how little I have played this game in the last 2 weeks or so. Skyrim and Steam deals sort of took over :p

620kb/Sec download speed through my phone compared to the 80kb/sec I was just getting :)

Is anyone experiencing major slowdowns while playing single-player? I tried getting onto multi-player but Origin just keeps trying to launch the game over and over again. Like I click on join server and the launching BF3 screen keeps popping up over and over again. Lame.

Turn off any active virus protection. Other than that the first time I load an MP game it takes longer then I think it should.

Mine just sits at "Joining server"

I still have yet to play a MP game :(

EDIT: Looks like it doesn't like Pale Moon. It launched fine with IE.

Played again for the first time in 2 weeks and maybe it was just the few games I played, but what a crock of crap compared to pre-update. I can't kill a thing with AA now, IR sights are temperamental, heli's seem to be untouchable by any , just awful.

The game seriously needs team shuffling too, far too often I join a game, have some crap team that don't know how to play objective based, or don't know how to play full stop, and it takes all the fun away knowing you aren't just going to lose, but get slaughtered. The only way to stop it is to go and leave and join another server, and then when you are playing with friends and they all have to leave, the only solution to that is to use IE, else all join separately, because parties don't seem to work with any other browser.

The game seriously needs an anti-update, and then another update to fix a load of crap that doesn't work, or simply isn't included, like full browser control (which should have been in from release) and shuffling (which should have been in from release).

I guess I am learning my lesson again for why not to buy an EA game

Iirc correctly they didn't do anything to the IR sights.

I dont remember seeing anything in the change log, but i agree all in all the patch is crap.

I didn't see them doing anything either, however now randomly enemies won't show up, even when stood right infront of you

I know what ya mean as iv seen enemies not show up in the scope, although iv only ever used the IR after patch so im not sure wether it was always like that.

Haha, I just meant you put "Iirc correctly" which is redundant. I'm being a grammar Nazi. Take no offense, please.

Anti air is way op vs infantry, get hit once and you're dead.

Yup. It also seems like I need to lead jets by a stupid amount or get closer to them, otherwise I can't hit. I find myself using the AA missiles for jets and the cannon for choppers.

Guess what would happen if that happened irl ;)

Not to aim this at you, but that sort of mentality I hate. People are singing the praise of the BF series because of it still being fast paced and unrealistic enough to appeal to the masses that don't like simulators, but large scale, slightly realistic and have physics and gameplay representative of what would happen in the real world (minus bullet drop...), yet complain when things get TOO hard for you. It is the sort of comments like yours that are why they took out AA causing heli's to shake.

I have yet to have a game where AA has been an issue to infantry, and I have yet to have a game where I have been unable to handle AA whilst in a heli

The AA used to be hard to deal with in a chopper. You would be flying along and suddenly you're sideways and you have no idea why, then you crash. I think it would be better if the AA couldn't aim as low so infantry could stand a chance against it.
