Since the latest round of updates I am unable to play for longer than 1 or 2 minutes before the game freezes and then I get booted out with a message saying I have been kicked from the game.

Thats if it does not freeze at the loading screen!!!!

That's actually not a bad idea for a BF3 mod, imho

Every round/certain # of deaths/class change you get a random allocation of weapons and equipment. It'd force you to adapt and learn new weapons quite quickly Even better if a slot-machine effect is implemented

Not sure about randomising the attachments as well... need to give people something to work with

I wouldn't play it all the time... but I'd probably play it with some regularity just for a change.

Default Orange disconnect symbol

Hi Guys

Is anybody suffering from a random orange disconnection symbol which appears in the top right hand corner of the game ?. I'm getting it since the last big patch 2-3 weeks ago and it's driving me nuts.

And anyone has and has fixed it would love to hear from you.

BF3 reverse gungame would be great.

Start with the most powerful weapon of a given class, every time you get a kill you get knocked down to the next (weaker) weapon.

You can't catch a break, can you?

I've been getting more disconnects too, and then can't re-join (even though it gives me a "re-connect" option), as "You have already joined this server". Or, the other one I've had is "Could not join Server" after the whole game has loaded and told me that the game is ready to play.

Knife kills come thick and fast some nights. Most fun, ever.

It's already here...

UNLOCK WEAPONS AND GEAR

Looking for a faster way to get some of the weapons and gear that you’ve seen Battlefield 3 veterans using? We’re introducing shortcut kits that will help you get caught up to more experienced players. Each kit unlocks weapons and equipment for a specific class, vehicle set, or from the co-op challenges. You can also unlock more at once and save money; Grab a kit bundle and get a set of kits at a discount.

Whether you’re looking to get a jump start with a class you’ve been neglecting or just want to get your hands on some advanced weaponry, it’s the way to go.
Shortcuts are available now for Xbox360, PS3, and PC...

http://store.origin.com/store/ea/sea...words=shortcut

- specific kit unlock packs for US$6.99;
- all kits bundle for US$24.99
- a co-op pack for US$4.99;
- ground vehicle pack for US$9.99;
- air vehicle pack for US$6.99
- vehicle bundle for US$17.99
- and the Ultimate Shortcut Bundle for US$39.99.

Oh, and some other crap about a Live Scoreboard feature to show the progress of games in the Battlelog server browser

Generally people only lock squads if they're up to something they shouldn't be. Lost track of the number of sus players who either go alone in a squad or have a clanfag hacker buddy in with them. Then you find them on the map and watch them from behind. HMMMMM. Where's my fucking spectate mode DICE? Oh yeah can't have one because it'd let people expose just how hacked the game is....
