    Yes, only €5 but you have to give them your scratched disc. Then they will fix it (skim it)and resell it.

    Remember to insure it for €3.;)

    FYI not any second hand game.

    It doesn't seem slow or less frantic when playing to be fair.
    Feels more like bf2 to me :)

    I haven't playing with the options much so may just be that the mouse speed isn't as high.

    Would love if it was a slower pace than BF3, would mean it wont take a couple hours to get used to it after playing Arma for so long

    Its much slower mainly in target acquisition. Takes a few hits to put someone down too.

    Bangs head against wall repeatedly.

    Was playing solo which is my first mistake I know, I know! We were US, so were spawning on the carrier. That Blanquito kid spent the entire game trying to spawn camp them with his bolt action sniper where the big rock is beside their AA gun >_<

    Just got back into BF3 recently and one thing I've noticed is how some of these rented servers have the most retarded 'rules' along with some power tripping admin screwing about with teams. The guns and equipment are in the game to be used.

    I just jump in and ignore the rules. If they're gonna base rape with choppers I'm going to use my IGLA.

    Idiots.

    Jumped into a Close Quarters game on Donya with 2 other lads from Boards. The usual rules on screen, no C4 on flag, no M5K, no MP7, no M16, no shotguns etc etc Start of the game I'm running around with a PP-2000 just to rank it up, ditto the PP-19. Then after getting killed by the admin a few times with his M5K, I decide to go with a DAO. Kill him once and I'm kicked and banned.

    Starte dplaying this yesterday on PS3. Class game! Nearly every server I went into doesn't allow shotguns which I thought was weird. Then I got killed so many times by a guy running round with an auto shotgun. Still, equipment is there to be used. I joined a game, running with a squad in metro and got kicked for absolutely nothing. I watched all 3 seasons of battlefield friends yesterday and thought the admin and rules jokes were exagerrated but are spot on!

    Other than that, my moan is I completely suck!

    Stick to official Dice/EA servers. From my experience, most EA servers are full of people that recently picked the game up and max rank I've come across in recent weeks is approx. 35.

    Cool, didn't know I could filter the servers like that. Coming across a lot of Colonel 100's that are just too good.

    Just be wary of the server owner name. A lot of folks add the (DICE) prefix to get traffic and are still kick happy. That info is shown in the screen just before you join the server/game.

    I really hope that in BF4 they get rid of the rented servers. Or at least do something about power tripping admins and their stupid rules. Was playing last night on Caspian border in CQ and both teams were tearing the flag spots apart with planes, heli's. Got sick of being killed so I started using Javelin/Igla/Stinger to get rid of some of the pressure. After taking down 3 or 4 planes and helis the admin (French) sends me a message simply saying "No Stinger. Kept it up though. Fcuk him!

    Battlefield is all about rented servers , it has been since day one and why some people think that after paying for a server out of their own pocket they shouldn't be allowed to run it as they see fit is beyond me . No knives, no rpg , no stinger, no tanks , no shooting , no players , what difference does it make to the people giving out ... find another server or better still rent your own and put on whatever rules you want .
    I am playing BF since the 1942 ( the game , although it feels like the year ) and I prefer to play vanilla , the bog standard , whatever the devs put in and that way I get the same general game whatever server I go on because I choose the server and I have never had a problem finding a server playing the standard game type . Also when you come off a server where you really enjoyed the game .. add it to favorites , how hard can that be ?

    The rented server issue is way more of a problem on the console versions of the game, on PC people just wont visit you're server if your a badmin as the selection is greater.

    But the they simply rent the server AFAIK and EA/DICE have T&C's attached to the server rental service. But the so-called 'rules' these admins are coming up with are just silly. Why should players proficient in the use of certain weapons, equipment and vehicles that are in the game to be used be punished by those who may not be so good at using them therefore giving the admin(s) the upper hand? Also it's not just the rules. I've seen admins switch good players from one team to theirs. That isn't on.

    No it's not. How is it fair to players when the admin starts taking players off your team to his/hers just because those players are being successful in playing the objective? Or what about admins who switch from one team to another depending on which team is winning? And just because they paid for it doesn't give them the right to mess up the game for others.

    Of course it does , THEY PAID FOR IT , unless it is against the Terms and conditions and even then , what are you going to do , you know you will never win arguing with a 14 year old admin so why waste time .

    Find servers you like , add them to favorites , I usually have around 15 , and just play on them . That way you get to play the game the way you like it and you get to know the people that usually play on those servers , maybe make a few new friends along the way .

    Yes ! because they paid for the opportunity to run the server they do have the right.

    Whether or not that is in the spirit of the game of benefits the community is irrelevant. EA need to keep enough dedicated servers so people can play with non retarded rules is the greater issue.

    Regardless of whether they think they have the right or not, I still think some of the rules are screwed up. I don't think there are dedicated servers on consoles though. Are there? I know there are a few EA/DICE official servers but I don't see to many of them tbh.
