there's an expansion pack already out? how CoD of them.

edit: I've always felt like battlefield half-assed the quantity of maps. But i guess i was spoiled with HL1
No one releases tools anymore though, so it's not much of an option. They'd rather make money off maps which i can't blame them for.
Sry for derail lol
The expansion pack was free for most of us. Not CoD of them at all
Yup, free if you pre-order, which most people did.The expansion pack was free for most of us. Not CoD of them at all
I dunno, man. I got tons more content than this out of the Desert Combat Mod for 1942 and Project Reality for BF2, and I didn't pay a cent for either. This seems like a gigantic ripoff.it's well worth the $15.
What it is saying when you try to connect?
Also, get in touch with EA/Origin support.
the update is 2.1 gig if I remember right and doesn't take too long to download. EA servers seem to be very very fast.

Pretty sure I didn't have to buy it either.
Heh, my bet is it's another one of EA's deliberate "mistakes" to con people into thinking they need to buy the DLC separately.
Long bow to draw? EA has had months to make sure this worked properly at launch.
I found sollution for this !!!!
close everything except origin make sure your origin app is logged in > click play on your BF3 > once ur battlelog page loads up in top right hand corner u have Sign Out button press it and log back in
thats the solution lolwut i was soo frustrated after i found this out xD
It said 3.9GB when I was downloading it.
I paid 60 bucks for the game and it was not the limited edition, Considering how many crashes and bugs that is plagued with this game it was not worth it. For those that say "hey the game is new, what do you expect?" Well you are obviously used to EA games.. because typically game developers do extensive testing, I have NEVER had these kind of issues with any other game i have purchased. Unless a game is in beta of course. That is where i see problems like these in beta versions of games, but hardly not official releases.
The fact that want me to fork out another 15$ on top of my 60$ a month later? what is this WoW? I didn't realize this was gonna be a monthly payment game lol. Shit at least WoW works, laugh.

i never played wow, but as far as sc2 comparing it to bf3 bugs is plain criminal lol. I have friend that purchased the expansion and they still cant play it. "missing game content", I have never had a game that was unplayable at launch. and bf3 was pretty much that way <better with the patch>. Before the patch i couldn't fly a plane without crashing to desktop and thats just client side. Server side people were paying good money for server that would not stay up for more then 24 hours, If you want to work the math Server owners lost 100's of thousands of dollars on servers they were unable to populate because of constant server crashes. Only recently was server stability issues improved. Anyone that defends a game with so many flaws needs to stop letting bubba rape them in the ass. Sure the game is sick when it "works".
Most of SC2 problems were in the SLI drivers and gpu utilization but nothing that stopped me from playing the game.
It varies from person to person. BF3 has only crashed on me a couple times. Probably just as many times as SC2 did for me when it first came out.
Same, I've only had BF3 crash a small handful of times. I've been playing Back to Karkand with no problems, and I literally started playing it the second it went live (like 2AM PST the other night or so). I guess we're just lucky.It varies from person to person. BF3 has only crashed on me a couple times. Probably just as many times as SC2 did for me when it first came out.
Your point being? You are not "forced" to do anything. It was made common knowledge well before release that any pre-order copies would receive BTK for free when it went live and that everyone else would have to pay for it. If you don't want to buy it, there are PLENTY of servers that only play the old maps. You must not be looking hard enough because I found tons of them that didn't have BTK maps in the rotation. Sorry that your favorite servers decided to switch to BTK maps, but you can blame the server for that, not EA.Yep, and for those of us that did not pre-order, we get alienated, or are forced to pay $15. Yesterday, all my favorite servers were A) playing new maps that I cannot play or B) empty.
Great way to alienate millions of people a month after launch.

I've played WoW on launch-day of every expansion as well as every major patch release, and I don't think anything can be as shitty as that If anyone remembers waiting in 3000+ player queues only to have the server go boom when you finally got in when TBC launched, or when Arena Season 2 started and the only PvP vendors were in Netherstorm and you literally had thousands of people packed into a tiny space trying to click on the same NPC...oh man, it was bad.

Naaa lets blame EA. I mean seriously? who releases a expansion a month after a games official release? Seems like a marketing scam to me. Considering how few maps there are in the original release, this so called "expansion pack" should of been included with the game. Your argument is "well it wasn't ready" my argument "so what nothing was ready with the game to start".
No game developer has ever had the balls to release an expansion so soon after a game has been released. I think it spits in the face of Loyal customers. Greed has taken over EA. I'm surprised we received more then 1 map with the game LOL each map is worth cash right? They could of marketed more expansions say one expansion a month? your favorite servers will naturally run the new maps and you will have to go to some shit server to play the old one.

Before BF3 was even released EA made it very clear that the expansion would come out about a month after the game went retail, and yes it was a marketing ploy to get people to pre-order but that's meaningless.
All that matters is that some people took the chance on the game and preordered so they could get the expansion for free and others didn't. Those who took the risk were rewarded, those who didn't had to buy the freebee those pre-ordering got for free.
So for once being an early adopter paid off and as a result non-early adopters didn't make out, such is life, knock the sand out of your vagina and move on with your life.
Your point being?
They should instead release map making tools and let the community create and distribute maps.
