    I got an SSD and bf3 is on. I just want to know does any body else have the bf3 on SSD and what is their wait time until they actually play?

    Takes me 40-50secs to get into a game which is surprising because I thought SSD would reduce that wait time alot

    my computer specs are i5,8gb ram and 2 gtx 570s

    Mines Varies.
    Sometimes it can be 10-20 seconds , other times it can be up to a minute . I don't use a SSD either, And im on pretty same specs as u except i have a 560 gtx

    I counted the 40 secs on the Kharg Island, by any chance Conor do you know what times do you get on that?

    How long does it take you to launch single player? That would be a better way to judge the speed because with multplayer there's alot of other factors to take into account such as PING to certain servers.

    Varies for me. Sometimes it's about 20 seconds. Sometimes its about a minute. Most of the time its about 30-40 seconds. And for the record I also have an SSD and a single GTX570

    Haha, I counted from when the loading screen in the game came up, otherwise its average 45 sec

    Been around 5 months since i had to wait for a round to start, playing on Timeless and as Russian on Metro, we had lost B by the time i spawned.

    :(

    About 30 seconds from when I click to join,alot of that time is logging in and connecting,as soon as it says loading map I click the bf3 icon and it loads is about 5 seconds,as in the spawn screen

    Not long at all about 30 secs max always one of the 1st in, does depend on the servers all the same and I have my config set for the nearest to me. I do not have an SSD either.
