OH HOLY **** even games 10 years ago let you play with friends. Let's go with 15 or 20 on those two topics.

I cant deal with Chrome/Firefox not letting me simply get a list of recently/most visited websites and forcing me to manually enter URLs. If anything, its those browsers that are outdated.

If you play with people in your party or in your platoon BF3 automatically tries to put you on the same team and in the same squad...

It seems like some of the problems you guys are having with BF3 are user error.

Chrome's New Tab page has all of this.

Check out points 5 and 7.

IE has this too, you open a new tab and get mostly visited sites. I prefer not having to open a new tab to go to a website, unless I want to. Its a little waste of time, but still wasting time.

You mean we get into a party together by pushing start and invite each other so we are in a party. Then the party leader joins a game. 9 times out of 10 it puts us on different teams. I know how a party system works lol

Just to chime in, the biggest turn-off for me in BF3 is the stupid browser based interface. What a load of crap.

I guess I'll just try and get BF1942 running again.

The Chrome omnibar does exactly what you're referring to, but better. You're obviously super resistant to change, so I'm not going to waste time trying to convince you. To each their own. Have fun using IE and playing old games.

yea, the complaining here reminds me of the people who say that america is going to crap and plan on moving to another country.. well guess what, they are still here and still complaining... either move out or stop complaining and do something constructive! likewise, if you dont like how a game does something, stop playing it or send an email to the devs voicing your opinions instead of complaining on a forum where nothing will get done

Also, chrome and Firefox are still better browsers then IE. IE 9 is OK but still not my cup of tea.

Also, bf3 has had its issues but I like the game. The browser server browser took some getting used to but I prefer it now. It was also designed to leave the game without crashing and I have never had an issue with that personally.

I'll give you Chrome.

But the bloated corpse Firefox, better than IE9? Seriously? I used to love Firefox, but it's gotten fatter and slower, prone to constant crashes, while IE has gotten better and better. 9 is amazingly fast and stable. Sure, IE6 was utter crap, but that was long ago.

Firefox has been a bloated piece of crap for some time now. And it is so freaking slow!

Sending an email to the developer about your game opinions so they can take that into consideration? What's next? I should vote too? HAHAHAHA Thanks for the laugh :)

Wish I could return this mess of a game. They should've issued a warning on the box, "DOES NOT WORK ON 64 BIT SYSTEMS" or "DOES NOT WORK IF YOU USE INTERNET EXPLORER".
I think thats fraud. I meet ALL the requirements, and the game wont let me play online.

I really can't tell if you're joking. The game works fine on 64-bit systems, it just so happens that Battlelog doesn't like 64-bit Internet Explorer. You have plenty of other options including 32-bit Internet Explorer which is included on your computer.

Better yet, internet privileges should be taken away from anybody who still uses Internet Explorer.

Why? Because its "cool" to hate on Microsoft because they are a succesful company?

Or because I find IE to be a superior browser in terms of utility?

I dont want to have to type in URLs for all sites I visit, and I don't want to open favorites or tabs to do so when I can just *gasp* OPEN THE ADDRESS BAR* and get the list of sites I frequent.
This is a great innovation that browsers like Chrome and Firefox threw out, and I still don't understand why. When it comes to utility, for the purposes that I use it for, IE is the superior browser simply because it has a functional address bar.

Oh wait, I mean,

"LUL N00bz using IE and Windows! Moar like winBLOWZ, I am l33t I use Chr0me and Lunix! Lunix is the superior operating system, bill gates can suck a not, I love Steve JoBs, h8 CORporations!!!! "

i dont see the problem.. use IE 64 for you usual browsing and set up Origin to run IE 32 for just BF3...

i use Firefox as my daily driver browser since i rely on a few extensions that are only available on firefox, but i still use IE for some of my apps that require it (ie windows update)... theres nothing wrong with having multiple browsers on one machine

When I click on the frequently listed sites using firefox they come up...the little drop down menu right next to where you type web addresses in.

I got no issues using battlelog or playing BF3. I do wish the game would launch quicker/load quicker though.

And the game itself is quite fine, I did a 3 hr session Saturday evening and had a blast.

This web browser loading thing is really making me play a lot less BF3 then I would have if it had an ingame browser.

Its a pain in the *** having to log in all the time, launch a seperate browser, etc.

Why do companies feel the need for all this extra effort to let us play the games we paid money for? Cant just double click on a game shortcut and play, no no, u gotta launch origin/steam, log in, launch game from there.
I guess thats why I've been playing mostly Gothic 3 lately :p

I actually like the browser based interface, except for the fact I can't customize my loadouts unless I'm in game. Just got premium, so if anyone wants to play, my ID is TSigs.
