Thanks to hexpunK for this amazing OP and to jaybuz for banners.

[Novangel]

Recons suck.

[hexpunK]

And the OP is still utter shit. Come on, put some effort into megathread OPs or don't bother. You get nothing for making it first.

[Daniellynet]

Oh come on, make a better OP than this.
Add some tables, information etc. so it becomes sexy.

Also, FP-EU been down for some time now.

[Gazzy]

What's with all the locked threads now?

And why is origin being gay and just not recognising Battlefield is installed, pissing me off it's why i like steam.

Never fucking mind, i pressed cancel download cancelled the cancel and now it says it's installed, what the fuck origin.

PP-19 is amazing when used with a supressor.

Better now, or should I add more?

[hexpunK]

[QUOTE=Ezhik;34012741]Better now, or should I add more?[/QUOTE]

Better, but you could add a fair bit more content. Organise it better, etc. I neatened up the BC2 OP a while ago, I might have a whack at this. If anybody has banners for the title, server and groups that could make the OP look so much nicer.

It just isn't eye catching. That's all.

no warning saying this game will make you throw your keyboard 30 feet in the air and rain down into one thousand peices

[Hardpoint Nomad]

Thanks garry, I guess.

[hexpunK]

-shit sorry snip-

[WilhelmScreamer]

I love the random crashing.

But it's sound without supressor is so sexy

[NanoSquid]

Be advised, new thread smell detected.

[krakadict]

anyone else think wake island is a little small? i remember it being way bigger.

[MrFishcake]

This is my friends Jet montage, he has only recently started uploading onto youtube and he puts allot of effort into his videos, but he doesn't have allot of subscribers or viewers, I Think he deserves a look because he puts up great content.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to make this a Battlefield Series thread now that we have the chance?

[dirty_ape]

Did something yesterday and was so proud of myself. Was playing conquest on Davamand, I was support, mostly playing between the tunnel and the enemy's first point. Lots of c4ing tanks when they tries to pass through. The amount of noise they make in the tunnel makes it very easy to set traps for them.

While I'm setting my traps though some fancy pants pilot brings the little bird into the tunnel. I could probably have shot the pilot out cause of how close he was but I had a better idea. Even at this low altitude he was pretty hard to reach. Maybe 10 feet in the air? I had to jump to reach but I managed to get a c4 on the bottom of the heli when it passed my section of the tunnel. I let him keep going a bit and than blew his shit up. Its not every day you get to c4 a heli without it landing.

That's funny, your buddy seems to have accidentally deleted the actual game audio and slapped on some random song. Tell him to not make such a mistake next time

[mac338]

OP looks nice now.

You imply he puts up good content, then show us a f4RgzzZZzz~~~ video. That isn't how good content works I'm afraid, good content would imply that it has a higher entertainment value than this summers highest grossing romcom (read: anything more interesting than nothing).

[theMatherson]

There needs to be more night maps and more maps with unique atmospheres like Grand Bazaar. I'm sick of the generic maps set in a hot location of the world with the sun overhead. Snow maps would be good too.

I had enough snow in bad company 2...
I think we need more urban maps, most of the ones we have are just wastelands with some buildings near capture points/mcoms

[StormHammer]

So..I'm looking into getting this without dropping cash on the expansion, are there plenty of servers that aren't running the expansion maps? I'm honestly a bit peeved that the game hasn't been out 3 months and they are already asking $15 for a map pack. If I wanted to get fucked like that I'd go play Call of Duty.

But yea, back to the question, are the non-expansion servers still plenty populated?

it's not a map pack... 15$ for B2K is a bargain

yes

[QUOTE=NuclearDwarf;34015446]it's not a map pack... 15$ for B2K is a bargain[/QUOTE]

but it is a map pack

[NuclearDwarf]

[QUOTE=krakadict;34015452]

expansion* pack

you get loadsa weapons and some vehicles and dogtags and and and

considering the vanilla bf3 only has 4-5 maps worth playing, B2K really helps making the game more enjoyable
