Yeah, I did Bf3, army of 2 and gears judgement the same way. But she also for Christmas bought me a yearlong of playing time on Eve.

Battlefield you can't really buy used cause of the online code. It wasn't as much as when it released at least.

Yeah sometimes you can pick up the Premium edition for $39.99 - it's currently regularly $59.99 (which is a lot less than the $110 I paid). And I've seen the base game as low as $10 on special.

I'm really not sure. I haven't had time to do much research today, but I have seen a few articles that have been discussing recent server issues. BF did address thsi in the same twitter post regarding the reschedule,

Well that would make sense then. You don't want to have those kind of issues during a double XP event

[Port66]

Well I am required to take a week off every month til July. I have to burn a lot of vacation.

Via Droid Tapatalk2

[MaximusR3]

yeah from what I've seen on the net today it seems likely that they're rescheduling because they're currently fighting off some sort of d.o.s. attack so battlelog and game servers are having a lot of problems


Battlefield ‏@Battlefield
(https://twitter.com/Battlefield)The current BF3 and Battelog outages are a result of activity that appears to be aimed at overwhelming our game servers.

[SGTNordell]

It most likely got rescheduled because the servers have been having A LOT of lag issues. I play almost every night and the past 2 weeks I've seen a lot of lag and "lost connection" issues. It got so bad on Tuesday I almost kicked the PS3.

one day my 17 year old son ask me what it was like to get old. I told him "well son I will let you know when I get old"

[wrckcity]

I'm waiting for the right moment.....that's when my wife lets go of the card the right moment for me is when i go all Mission Impossible and sneak another game into the house lol

[MaximusR3]

an article has popped up that supports my assumption of the double XP being rescheduled thanks to the ongoing attack

http://bf3blog.com/2013/05/battlefield-3-multiplayer-ddos-attack/


The focus of the attack has been interference with network communications preventing access to multiplayer gameplay. At this point, no user data is involved. We share your frustration about the impact this has had to our service and the ability for many of you to play Battlefield 3. We are working tirelessly to mitigate the problem.

[Port66]

Yeah I saw a few articles. I am going to play for the next week a lot anyways,

Another good class is support. People need ammo, claymores are fun, and suppression with a Lmg gets you points and helps your team. i love that the game has suppression in it. Then mortars are fun to play with , smoke helps in capture the flag some. I get less kills but lots of other points.

I am a sneaky engineer, as a scout in the army I was the same way, sneak around then javelin a tank. Or lay out mines. Maybe sneak a stinger up a choppers ass, but I don't get a lot of actual rifle kills unless I snipe a sniper or other sneaky engineer. I suck in face to face confrontations.

Yeah my best class is Assault, then I've spent the next most time as Engineer but I'm very aggressive as an Engineer. I actually do better with Support, but I'm so impatient I don't do too well with that or Recon.

Yeah but that's why you and I work well together sometimes. Still my favorite moment is the game winning RPG jump shot downing a chopper. Recon I use an smg anyways for flag defense. I set up the sensor and then hide. Recon needs more items to unlock. Seems limited.

They have a bunch of rifles, just not many gadgets. When you include the Xbow though it's nice to have the extra choice.

Man I love explosive bolts - nothing better than sending one into a burning tank for a kill. It took me forever to figure out that you could carry all the bolts at once and toggle between them.

You just hit down on the D-pad to cycle through available bolts, just like changing fire mode (assuming you've done the assignments to unlock other bolts)

We had steak and crab legs once a week at Al Asad due to the heavy KBR presence. The odd thing was that the food was so poorly prepped that the other foods offered were better IMO, because they were prepped relatively well. We even had made to order omelets and burgers and stuff.

The chow hall at Al Asad was better than any Marine chow hall I ate at stateside. Far better.

Also there was a Coffee Bean, a BK, a Pizza Hut.... First few rotations out there, these things didn't exist and all our Marines came back more lean. After all this crap got put in, we had our fatbodies come back even fatter sometimes.

Our fob dfac was food in transit, so microwave top ramen and mre's often won out. That's why missions to the airfield or Anaconda were rewards. Go to the airfield and get 30 whoppers to bring back....was kinda hilarious, kinda sad.
