Haven't had much bugs tbh while playing, mouse is fine, sound is the best in the business. I have the PC version 50-60fps maxed. And looks fantastic. Can't wait for the other maps, although some of the new ones are awesome.
I'm on PC and the main bugs I've noticed are: certain elements of the sound cutting out intermittently (ei just the sound from 1 vehicle), a bizarre green flashing that's almost seizure inducing, free-look mode "sticking" while in vehicles and frequent crashing while loading a level not to mention server disconnects. None of the bugs are truly game breaking but they do taint what otherwise is an exceptional gaming experience.

What are you on about too little too late? The game has barely been out a month, if even that.
A month with frequent disconnects, broken squad system, and broken mics. For a game that advertises itself as "playing with friends has never been this easy' lets just say i have little patience for shit that doesnt work and has no word of being fixed a month adter release. (ps3 version)
I mean jesus fucking christ what exactly was the beta for? Shits and giggles? The terrain deformation is STILL turned off? Are we to assume that is their permanent solution for falling through the map? Just turn off an advertised feature?
I might return when i feel like i'm playing something other then a beta. Untill then this map pack doesnt help matters. Even techland had the fucking common sense to delay the DLC for dead island in favour of fixing their horribly broken game? Why is it that dice/ea arent doing the same?
I just want a game that works, and that can be played online with friends. BF3 is neither of those things on the PS3, is that really too much to ask? A working game a month after release? I guess for you it is.
You knew the launch would be rough. You said you'd wait until they fixed the game. You didn't. You proceed to cry about what you knew was going to happen anyway.
Are you sure you didn't buy the game just to complain about it?
The game had a very poor launch. The first patch is slow coming, especially on the PC. There's no way some major input bugs shouldn't have been sorted the first week.. but.. seriously.. you knew what you were getting. This imaginary due date you put on the patch is all in your head. This game has no expiration date. It will be just as compelling (more so after this week, hopefully) a month from now. You should have waited if you were going to be this impatient, especially knowing full well what you were diving into.
You should probably bitch at yourself about that, not EA.

Bitch at myself for a broken game? Er, no.
I may have expected the game to be broken AT LAUNCH, but a month after? I never once expected that. The fact they arnt even acknowledging some of these issues, much less putting a date on a patch is just unacceptable. Plain and simple. They have sold a game under false advertising and havnt even tried to fix things (aside from some server resets)
As much as i hate COD, at least it's online component, the feature in which BF players constantly rave about, actually worked day one. BF3 is a game unlike anything i've seen as far as quality control is concerned. They got typically difficult things right, like balanced gameplay, fun factor, balancing vehicles and infantry, weapon damage, sound, the 'feel' of combat, but they got stuff which should be simple, things that are taken for granted completely and utterly wrong. Server disconnects is one thing, but fucked up squad systems (a key element of teamplay) and broken mics (a key element of teamplay)is just retarded. Those are things they SHOULD have down to a tea now that they're on their THIRD BF console release. I mean, what the fuck changed between BFBC2 and BF3 to make their squad chat system go from working to utterly useless. Dice are just like bethesda. They make new games but dont EVER learn from their previous efforts. So what you get is a new game, with a new name, but all the old fucking problems. It's pathetic. But by all means, keep supporting broken products...but i wont.
The empty servers say it better then i ever could.

If you expect a slew of patches in the first four weeks then I don't know what to tell you. Those expectations are beyond reason, especially for the console SKU's, which have to jump through hoops to get patches approved.

So I've heard! The game is completely dead already (lol).
I keep hearing it, but at least on PC it's definitely not dead. I have to imagine Skyrim took its toll. I know I haven't played for a week :D Between Skyrim and waiting on (this weeks!) patch.. I've had reason enough to put it down for a bit. I've already played 60 hours of retail anyway, and I'll certainly be back this week.

Is this true?
No. The empty servers are misleading, even on PC. The reason why servers appear to be empty is the random server crashes that happen. You'll be playing on a game and suddenly get kicked. Thinking it's just a problem on your end, you check the server to get back in and it's not even there on the list, and a few minutes later it pops back up again with no players in it, so that tells me every single player got booted and it's the server crashing. Well, perhaps not the server but the client instead. The amount of hyperbole about BF3 is unreal. The moaning and bitching about it likewise. The game is perfectly fine bar this one issue, which is the only real issue I've noticed that is making the game a bit of a pain to play at the moment. It'll be sorted in time, but I've never been one to buy a game and then persistently moan about it. It's a great game with a lot of potential there to grow and get a lot better, so to expect everything to be as you want it to be on day one is just you (not yourself, just generally speaking) being a fool. Since when has it ever been that way on PC, and more recently on consoles? We're getting a big patch and this free DLC a little over a month after the game releases. I don't see how anyone can moan there or say it's too little too late. BF3 should be around for a while to come, that is if DICE decide to support the game, which they'd be wise to do.
I'm not worried about the time the patch takes, really. I imagine that this will be normal the more complex engines get- and they certainly will get more complex. The game is perfectly fun as is, imo, and if it continues to polish- great.
On another note- I'm really liking the Steam/Origin gaming route. I don't even have to have a disk in the drive. Love it. It probably won't be viable for consoles until Hard Drives get exponentially bigger...

Obviously more bugs, but as you said once these are sorted it'll be even better.
Great MP game.

Commented on 2011-11-22 20:29:06The weirdest thing is, they have no auto join for squads. Which results in 10 or more people being without squad....
Still looking forward to the new maps, such a great game when it works.
