I tried to play multiplayer for the first time today and got kicked from both of the servers I tried. I was only on each server for a couple minutes each, and the error said something about Punkbuster.

I have a desktop shortcut for pbsetup. I just run it on its own and it will update all the games you have that use punkbuster at once. Works well.
I want you guys to beat this one:
Permanent ban from a server for being on the winning team... I **** you not.
The exact quote from the console was that I had somehow "switched" to the winning team and I have was perma banned from a server, Admin decision. The server is called "The Whiskey Room" I was at the top of the chart in points and was on the same team for 3 rounds of play. I was on my way to another Ace Pin and BAM banned... The amount of douche baggery in this game of late has really put a sour taste in my mouth. :mad:
I'm about level 9 now I think, played a bunch last night after picking the game up last week. Great game, but dear god it's a sticky navmesh, you get stuck in/on everything! I keep running into trees that look like they're a foot to my left or right, or you end up trying to run up a hill and sliding back down... I realize they need to put constraints in but damn.
Got it from EA.com for $19! :D SP has been a blast so far! pun intended...
Haven't tried MP yet... that PBL was a pain!
Punkbuster might do more harm than good. It's been out for so long you'd think they would improve it from time to time. I just installed it even though I bought it last week, hoping I don't have too much trouble with punkbuster or any other aspects of the game. I'll play some this weekend. I should pick it up pretty quick. Shoot bad guys? No prob.
This game was reallllly popular, like in July (or around there) for about 45 days and then everyone just stopped playing it about the same time.
I've put a few hours into the game now (20+) and I don't understand the hype. Most games like this I just ignore all the hype but the popularity of this game was really crazy for a while, and I saw people playing the game that don't normally play these types of games. So I bought it recently when it was $17. I'm def happy with it for $17 but even people who payed full price for the game were really positive about it still. I dunno, I guess I just don't see what makes it stand out. It's def not bad though, don't get me wrong.
But since everyone I know stopped playing by the time I bought it, I've only been playing with random people, and playing with random people in PC games these days ain't so hot. It's all about co-operation these days, and games get a lot funner when you're playing with people you know.
I haven't heard one person use voice chat in my 20+ hours of play, which I find pretty odd. Maybe it's not set up right.
The game also suffers from lack of admins. Battlefield is the kind of game that needs constant baby sitting, and there's never any admins on any of the servers. Only admin I ever saw was on a power trip and kicking pretty much anyone that killed him more than once :p
I figure all the smarter players have given up playing on public servers by now.
So you guys going to play anymore or have you moved on like everyone else?

For me the game just got old quick. I got sick of the maps and then they released the map pack except it was the same maps just with new modes.
I am currently wasting my time in MOH until Black Ops comes out.
I stopped playing because there were no genuinely new maps. The Port Valdez conquest map was pretty cool, but not enough. Most everyone who played was pretty serious from about March-April to July.
I found the game really good, but it's not exactly BF2 either. It probably seemed so good at first because of the absolute dearth of solid PC games these days.
Like I have said many times in this thread I agree with you Adaman. I tried playing some of the single player yesterday, and I remind you my saved game files disappeared a while ago. It starts the intro and then the it just quits the game, tried about 5 times same thing every time. Biggest waste of $50 I have ever spent, well, its up there with The Force Unleashed.
I got about 130 hours of game play out of it. So I got my money's worth however I agree, even 2-3 additional maps would of breathed a great deal of life into this game.
I played this game last night for about 30 mins, and it was just dull...I've unlocked everything gotten 90% of the badges, awards, etc there is like a 2-3 that I haven't gotten.
Making it to the next rank just takes so long (150,000 points) on an avg of 3k a game that's 50 rounds, at an avg of 30 mins a round that's 25 hours of game time...For a game that is pretty much dud. Also I was overviewing the ranks etc and it was like 1,500 people were rank lvl 35 and the next rank was like 400 and I think that's because it just gets dull.
I'm rdy for black ops!
Did you know hummanity has spent
1,135 yrs 350 days, 11h, 15 mins, 27s
Had one individual started playing this game the yr he would of started would of been 874
(the 350 days would push it back to 874)
Thsi is the same year iceland was settled into.
Here's a list of our world's leaders during that yr

The most fun part of the game is getting new weaponry and such. As you approach levels 30-35, it starts to get dull. I'm definitely going to buy the Vietnam expansion. The game is definitely fun, but not...indefinitely.
For me Vietnam is going need to offer me some substance to bite.
This is what sort of happened to me as well, once I had every weapon and perk "unlocked", the game got kind of boring for me.Quote:

I am excited about this again, stopped playing for a bit.

$14.99 isn't bad
It depends on all what is included for me. If it is only a few maps and not much else, I don't know if I will grab it. I guess it also depends on when it is coming since I could be busy with WoW or Black Ops or multiple other games.
I was pretty bummed to hear that levels and unlocks carried over to Vietnam, and that there will be pretty much nothing to work for to unlock. If you've unlocked everything in Vanilla, then you'll get all of the unlocks immediately for Vietnam.Quote:
