Buy the digital version from the EA store. Saves on shipping
and may be a little cheaper for you. http://eastore.ea.com/store/ea/Displ...=1269578182603
Make sure your system is up to it first though.
If you have at least a dual core you should be fine

Here is my thing, i want to be in this club

My Ingame username is TPU Chosen
And i put "TPU" in as my actually real name and i still have room for tags

Also my preferred class is any ATM. I hate medics, there over whored and i just love to play everything.

Ive unlocked every weapon for every class which is a good starting point,
and i use any class but i mainly use the Saiga 20k shotgun with Shotgun upgrade and amo perk. I will have a platinum star by 5 days. I ussualy get 100 kills a day just to get some sort of base with the shotgun. I have 670'ish kills with it on my 7th gold star i believe, Maybe more but at least i want platinum.

*good at everything to*

Level 27 ATM and i dont play much.... but the game is great

i hate how the medics look.. one looks like a crusty redneck cable guy that was drafted into the army as a nurse and the other looks like a gay in red beret.

medics not too bad, as they get countered by emplacements and vehicles with ease.

Recon otoh... it seems recon was designed to also be used close up (sensors + shotgun), but every man and his dog wants to snipe from the most distant hill and drop mortars, without ever having an enemy see him.

Problem with snipers is they can take on tanks and APC's with c4 or mortar. Also everyone seems to think they are amazing snipers when really they're not helping at all.

Update: The M1 Garand is still broken. It is back in the game and you can use it, but the kills do not count. First they took my 50+ kills from before when they broke it in the first place. Now that I have it back, I have killed at least 20 people in hardcore with it a day ago, still says 0 kills, 0 shoots, 0 minutes used. BS!

You're not seen me in recon action Hardly ever use sniper rifles with recon and if I do it's not for long. 92/500 kills with sniper rifles, says one insignia, almost killed more with pistol

This one got me a bit of K/D ratio back, have to finally admit that the extra 100ping sure has an impact on TPU servers Glad I played most of the time on start there. (last round on TPU servers was like 8/23 on K/D, trying to get it to 1.00 )


Big-noob-tube pin done and got sub machine pin also earlies, missing 5 pins now. Time to start roadkilling, but it's really bugged in this game. I've ran over countless people and got maybe one roadkill BF2142 said squish! instantly when you ran someone over.

Whats this I hear about Medics being over used? I wish this was true, being a Medic, I barely ever get rezzed when I die. Most people play Assault and Recon.

Also I think for this week I'm going to run my server as 24/7 Arica, it's the only Rush map I really like, seems to be the Rush map for people who don't like Rush.

Grr it seems that since the R8 code was pushed out for the servers the UK TPU server is freezing/crashing and not recovering. Just manually restarted her after seeing she's been down for 8 hours.

Think i'll ask the hosting company for some compensation if this goes on for much longer.

Ahh for those wondering about EA again:

EA Servers will be restarted around 4am EST/8am GMT/9am CET to solve an issue where servers do not restart or show in the browser properly

I'd rather be a sniper than someone spamming the 40mm GL and CG all game.

I can't get many kills with Recon, and I don't like spending most of my time sneaking, it was fun at some points but I got tired of that.

The M95 is pretty pointless imo, the basic sniper rifle is probably the best single shot sniper rifle.

And I hate Jugz, stop bullshitting me. Pep don't run straight to other people face and knife them, it's not realistic, you're exploiting the "lagness"!

Is it just me or most of the game just "feels" buggy, don't get me wrong i like the game but everything moves slow and clunky. I think this game needs to be patched soon.

It's because you play too much Valve games (I assume). All valve games run faster than usual, and I mean faster than human running speed.
