Too late I'm afraid. Arrived at around half 3.

Just trying to log into the battlelog but even though I've had 2/3 games of multiplayer, it's saying I have to buy BF3 to access it

Sign into your EA account and make sure your persona is link to your PSN I.D .
Then log into battlelog using the same email address as your EA one .

Mine wouldn't work til I realised I was using the wrong account

Huzzah, success! Was putting my email address in wrong :rolleyes: .co.uk rather than .com

Only played for 2 and a half hours but my word... Have already committed suicide in a jet and helicopter so if you're playing with me, keep away! :pac:

I've applied to the boards platoon Varik, if you could add me please

positron · 01-11-2011 4:21pm

That is one clever idea. Thanks!

Varik · 01-11-2011 8:21pm

Going by the stats on the boards platoon most people play engineer, well when you get there the A-91 > G36c.

nkay1985 · 02-11-2011 6:18pm

Is this related to the platoon that's been set up on Battlelog?

nkay1985 · 02-11-2011 6:51pm

So is this the thread where the discussion for the Boards platoon is goign on? How do you manage to join a server at the same time? Do I add all the people in the platoon to my PSN and see when they're online or something? Have never played online with other people before so excuse my ignorance!

Pretty much. And when you/we are all online, we can create a squad and then start games with all of us in the one server. Whether we'd all be on the same team I don't know. I do know that from experience, joining PSN friends doesn't always put you on the same team. Having been knifed many a time by some fellows on here.

As above though, if you see someone on your PSN friends list playing online, you can try and join them in the game and try and get your own squad going.

leemurta · 02-11-2011 8:18pm

I was trying to play with a friend there was just the 2 of us in the squad every game we joined except about 2 out of 15 or so we were on opposite teams, its a nightmare so far

Everything was alright yesterday weirdly

Varik · 02-11-2011 8:24pm

At some point they'll fix it, so platoons work.

You don't need to friend everyone, log onto battlelog and you can see who's online out of the 43 players in the platoon.

finipops · 02-11-2011 8:54pm

I play Battlefield 3 alot on PS3 the only thing so far is i'm playing with randoms and i would prefer to have a squad or team to join. My PSN is Sciprio

F1ngers · 02-11-2011 9:41pm

Merged.

Yeah but for other times, it's as handy I guess.

How do you know if someone's online in Battlelog by the way?

Think theres a chat down bottom right... But I don't know if thats them online on PS3 or Battle log.. It is slightly confusing stuff lol..

Varik · 03-11-2011 1:07am

Maxed out the engineer( not got the co-op guns), starting on support now.

1 level away from my first squad Specializations.

WarZoneBrother · 03-11-2011 3:55am

''A new Battlefield 3 Xbox 360/PS3 server patch will be deploying at 1AM PST tonight addressing lag/rubber-banding, TDM/SQDM spawn point optimization, and various crashes.

This is a rolling update which should have little impact on players. We will update everyone when the maintenance is completed. Please join us in Battlelog to discuss the impact this patch has on your Battlefield experience. Thank you!''

Taking from the BF facebook page...

I seem to only enjoy playing Conquest on Seine Crossing... That map is just insane, when it goes to different map I find I get bored of the game and quit then take a wee break then back to play Seine Crossing again... Gonna try pick another copy up tomorrow cheap to get Uncharted for 99c

That way I may still be fit to afford MW3 aswell...

nkay1985 · 03-11-2011 3:19pm

Added a rake of you from the platoon last night. Hopefully I get a few games with you soon. Couldn't add NotorietyH or WarZoneBrother as you have the maximum number of friends.

Had the same problem, will add again!

Whenever I try to play in a squad with the platoon, it puts me on the team and I end up losing as a result! Is everyone having this problem?

What's happening? You end up on the other team is it?

Yup that's it, pretty frustrating ! It even happens when I'm the one who sends out the invites and gets the squad together ha!

Do you get the option to change team at any point? Like does anyone ever leave the team with all the Boardsies on it?

UnknownSpecies · 03-11-2011 11:37pm

Yeah the option comes up but any times it happens, the other team is always full!

nkay1985 · 03-11-2011 11:43pm

Nightmare!

How many Boards players would be on out of interest?

UnknownSpecies · 03-11-2011 11:45pm

So far there is always 2-3 on for me, I've added most of the platoon I think. I'm yet to have a proper session with boards platoon people yet though.

Yeah I'm on evenings all week so it's a balls. If I get online at all it's early in the afternoon or late at night.

Varik · 04-11-2011 12:09am

The patch should be out soon ( hopefully tomorrow or at least this weekend), there are 50 people in the platoon now so i'd say you'd easily find a squad at any time.

PSN friends list may be full for some so add people to your friend list on battlelog(does not do much now but will soon).

UnknownSpecies · 04-11-2011 12:09am

Cool man, think I might have added ya or vice versa! My PSN is dorgz anyway so add me if you're on!

Is the patch going to integrate Battlelog with PS3 better or something? It really should do more than it does now tbh.

It must be you.

Got your invite from you earlier, ended up on your team but not in your squad. Left my squad to join you and you weren't there to join.

On a separate note, any average/middling* players here want to try for the co-op trophies?
Play them for a while on easy first, to get used to them and then go for it on hard.

*If a super-duper, ultra marine type player wants to carry me through the co-op - I wouldn't say no...:p

just on.. should get in a game or 2. I'll try to join your session

Leiva · 05-11-2011 8:49am

OK lads it's over a week now since release and what's everyone's feelings on the game ?

I'm a little dissapointed to be honset .

It hasn't captured my attention like BC2 did .

I find the prone to take more away from the overall game than add anything to it .
The visuals are great but trying to identify the enemy is weirdly frustrating .. I don't know if it's the colour schemes , resolutions or enemy/friendly over head tags .
There is something definitely wrong with hit registration . I have had at least a sec of fire on someone who then turns and kill me , also when under fire I may find cover in time only to be killed when clearly behind a building .
Mind you this was also on the BETA so maybe something still to be fixed .

It feels closer to a COD game than a BF one which is a big no no for me .

It still is a great game but at such a early stage I already find myself avoiding certain maps .

I will stick at it and hopefully things improve .

tok9 · 05-11-2011 10:29am

My first impressions was that is was very similar to BC2 which is the only game i played in the series.

Not saying that is a bad thing but I was expecting a something a bit different.

The graphics are pretty average especially in comparison to the PC version, there not much better then BC2.

But whenever I play the game I think it's excellent, I barely ever played conquest in BC2 but it seems to be what i'm always playing now. I haven't come across a map that I've hated and i like the knife animations.

What do people think of the jets? These being a first time for me, they took a bit of time to control but now that I'm able to fly it I still can't get that many points. So far I've half taken down another jet. Any tips?

We should try organise a night of battlefield with the platoon. I've played a good few games with (and against) Varik (Dreadaxe) and a few others who i'm not friends with yet.

Whens the best time?

Varik · 05-11-2011 3:06pm

Thinking of trying to maybe perhaps set up a game tonight, try and get a squad or 2 of platoon members.

tok9 · 05-11-2011 5:05pm

Definitely up for that!

nkay1985 · 05-11-2011 5:22pm

Yeah if I'm around I'd be on for that.

PS3 Battlefield 3 clan/people willing to play together?
