Anyone finding things slow to rank up?

Got all these extra unlocks but I just want a gun with a decent scope! Even more irritating when you level up in one class it isnt mirrored for the other team. So you need to grind away trying to get a usable gun again in the same class. 10x more unlocks - isnt a good thing, just means you have to do everything twice!

Gun choice is also super limited, scope choice is limited - bah.

thought the same thing lol, you can easily rack up 5000 points a game if you do the objectives plus your class perks eg giving medi kits out, repairing tanks. just running and gunning for kills will get you no where.

Is no one else having the standing up/crouch issue on the ps3? If I try to shoot someone and they shoot back my player will crouch on its own to take cover, Even if I'm out in the open. Also if I'm hiding behind an object shooting at someone and move back to take more cover I stand up when I loose sight of my target.

It's really annoying and I keep dying in close combat shootouts because of it.

Not had that problem yet to be honest, having several more though.

Helicopter controls and effed up from BC2, and it occasionally decides to dump you on the other team after a round.

Still early days, Im hoping the bugs will be sorted soon.

Had a day off today, so just to warn anyone ready to play tonight get ready for possible server problems.

They were down from 9-11 this morning but took a lot longer to come back up and are still having problems.

Lots and lots of annoyed people on the official forums.

Johnny you seriously aren't missing anything mate.

Campaign is medal of honor/cod copy.

Multiplayer is a bit of a mess at the minute.

might trade it.... HMV are giving £35 trade in value so might go for it... I liked Bad Company 2 alot more, I think if I was playing it on a PC I would enjoy it more.

TBH EA serers are like this for every game of theirs I have ever bought.

I love the campaign, the visuals are superb but its only 720p and not even 3D which is disapointing as gears 3 in 3D is just the dogs danglys.

I will give the online a go when I complete the campaign

Good god the single player campaign is dire. I have forced myself to play it and on both occasions switched off through complete boredom. I know BF3 is about the MP but they still have to put some effort in. BFBC1&2 were miles ahead in terms of SP campaign. Actually the MP was also better too!

Only bought it for the multiplayer mate, which is outstanding. :thumleft:
