Code: 
ERROR![/B]
 
 
Game disconnected: you were kicked by an admin. Stated reason: LOLOCAUST! Get whitelisted at reg.davejk.net.

Go 19-7, get this. :mad: map was fun though, whatever it was, gonna have to find a different server I guess.
 
So far having a blast! Wake ISland is just completely batshit crazy, as I remember. I miss the bunkers, though. :(

God I hate that map, good to hear you're having fun though.Unfortunately I have to re-install BF3, Orgin thinks I don't have BTK. Is the flag for purchases stored server side? Orgin is prompting me to purchase BTK. I guess reg editing the directory path wasn't the greatest workaround when I moved BF3 and Orgin to my game partition (I'm assuming this is the issue)

Mine work ffine, I guess you purchase the box version ?,, you will probably have to wait until the 15th, 7 flags in Karkand, wow, but I just load the game, I will give the real try after breakfast
 
Strike at karkand and gulf of omar, are each better than all the maps in vanilla bf3 by far, imo. Lots of variety, and tactical opportunities. Haven't played the other two yet.

Did you log out and back in? It thought I didn't have it either, I relogged and it worked fine.
 
I am in the same boat... I purchased it two days ago, even said in my news feed when servers came back online that I had it but when I try to login to a server it prompts me saying that I don't have it. Tried logging out, live chat support is at about an hour wait. Guess try re-downloading and go to sleep. If that doesn't fix it maybe tomorrow can get support a little quicker!

I havent played in a few days, but my game crashes, disconnects or I get bogus kicks all the time. My machine isnt really up to spec, but stability issues are ridiculous. I started getting kick notifications on the weekend, all panicked that Ill get some bogus ban or something based on kick errors. I stopped playing sunday and figured Id wait till BTK came out to see if the issues resolves itself. In the meantime(between skyrim and batman), done maleware checks, driver cleaning, CCleaner runs, and deleting anything that I dont use. Probably not related, but I dont know how PB works and Id hate to have an issue due to admin or error kicks.

Havent played BTK, but got my origin email at 4am this morning letting me know its ready to go. Will be hitting it up tonight.
 
Looking forward to map optimizations....my average FPS of 60 is now about 40 on these new maps =(
 
I think Karkand large conquest 64 infantry only will be epic. and I predict a lot of 24/7 servers.

8am, perfect time to sleep. Im all BF3'd out...
 
Do assignments carry over from your current stats or you have to redo them all once BTK starts?

Example: if the assignment is to get 100 LMG kills, would you have the weapon unlocked already or you need 100 LMG kills starting today?

Glancing over the assignments, it looks like you'll have to complete them from this point on.
 
I just loaded the karkand maps on our server and took a quick peek at the layout of Oman, Sharqi and Karkand. All I can say is: WOW, that brings me back. Karkand is exactly the same with a new face lift. Oman feels a little different, but still very close. Sharqi, some areas seem smaller than they were in BF2, but it still feels like the same map.

I'm very pleased that DICE didn't simply make some maps that were vaguely similar to the BF2 maps, but instead maps that are essentially the same.
 
It looks like Squad Play is getting back to BF series after people got bored being lone wolves.

Yesterday I was a Squad Leader in some random squad with strangers. So, I was giving orders to capture flags and then the whole squad was following those orders because I saw points raining to me like crasy "Squad Order followed". They followed me even trying to capture the most protected flags where we were dying a lot. Thank you guys whoever you were :)

That was soooo coool :)

they are aware and working on the 'content not available' errors

All of BF2/BF1942's maps were awesome.

BF3 and BF:BC2's maps seem like there was WAY too much time spent on balancing and making sure that every good position had a back door to prevent camping.

Screw that, I have no problem with defensive perimeters and sniping off of roofs. Let the players deal with campers by other means like calling in artillery or helis. Don't force people into a cage fight.

These were four of the best maps in BF2. They seem pretty faithful to the original. If they do this same treatment to the rest of the old BF2 maps, I would be one happy gamer.

Dragon Valley, Kubra Dam, Daqing Oilfields, Zatar Wetlands... I'd love to see these maps again.

Best of both worlds. I'll play Metro, Sienne and Bazaar when I want want smaller CQC maps and B2K maps for more open maps.

Do they have scaled maps for B2K by the way? I used to love playing the 16 man Oman map with 32+ people. That was amazingly fun.

I was more of a Karkand, Maashtur, Jalalabad and Sharqi guy. Oh yeah, and Oman of course :)

it's a bot that handles the kicks, it's a server for the something awful forums.

anyone can request a purge so they can get in, you weren't singled out.

I'm pretty sure most people would be more than satisfied and continue to buy DLCs if every single map from BF2 and ALL the expansions were ported over. But seeing how DICE/EA has been semi-fail so far, I would not be surprised if this does not happen.

I heard the IRNV monster has reared its ugly head in the new maps again? Is this true?

Glad to hear they didn't butcher the map pack for the sake of consoles though. Can't wait to play some tonight.
 
it's more or less the same size, 5000x as detailed, and insanely chaotic.
 
Just played Sharqi for 2 hours. One of my favorite maps, they really did it justice. Chopper rape is back though, whether that is good or bad. Can't wait to try the others out later!

I doubt I was one of them (what are the odds? haha), but I found myself in a good squad last night as well. We had someone calling the shots and the 3 of us did well at obtaining and sticking together. I was quite the bullet magnet though. Seems I was always the "bait" haha. I had a shitty K/D ratio, but was #3 on the scoreboard and had a lot of fun. This game is so much funner when you get in a good squad and people actually spawn with the squad. Its so frustrating some times to get in a good spot to capture a point, but you hesitate to move up while you wait for members of your squad to spawn on you for support, but they never do and you get yourself shot waiting. I need to find a ventrilo squad. My CS:S clan members don't seem to be interested in BF3.

Also, if you're going to snipe or camp the airways, don't waste the spot in a squad!
 
Pringals I agree with everything you posted. The game can be outright frustrating at times but when I am on a squad that plays and works together the game has epic moments.

Bullet magnet and "bite" is quite important specialisation in the Squad :)

I miss one Cammo Rose command though - "Give me an order", like it was in 2142, so, that I can push Squad Leader a bit to start giving orders.
 
The new maps feel bigger because of all the places you can stage an ambush. It actually promotes teamplay since it's too big and too dangerous to go lonewolf now. Recons are going to be in demand to scout for enemys will all that cover.

Isn't this the truth. I finally got this game yesterday because of the sale and while team work always helped in Battlefield, I definitely did better with the lone wolf approach in previous games. I did horribly last night. Things improved for me on some maps, mostly close quarters where I do best in first person shooters anyway. I tried working as a simple sniper finding a good position, staying back and covering my teammates. This seemed like the best low-communication, lone-wolf type role. I was still working for the team, just doing it on my own terms.
