How to get into Multiplayer..like BF3.

I just got a laptop with i5 processor, 2 GB Nvidia Geforce 650M, 6 GB ram. I have a internet connection with a speed of about 2.5 Mbps speed. I want to get into multiplayer and especiially BF3.

How much data does it consume for about an hour of gameplay.?

What are the important things that i need to know about multiplayer gameplay.

Ask in the EA forums you might have much better luck finding a response there.

If you're asking if your laptop can play BF3 multiplayer or something equal to it, then yes, on low or medium specs, it should have no problem.

Or you will get you're origin account banned for not saying something postive about them.

LOL, only EA would ban your GAME account for dissing their products on a forum -.-.

What do you mean by data @ TC? Do you mean you can only down/up stream a certain amount of data gb like a phone plan? Otherwise if it is just bandwidth speed than everything except 56k will suffice for gaming already.

Is it true that you have to download a 5 GB patch after you install BF3 from the disk?. The only experience i have had with DRM games is with Half Life 2 : Episode one. It was on steam and took a while to install. I am from india and broadband internet is not very afffordable/stable like other countries.I have heard that many times you do get disconnected from the EA servers right in the middle of a BF3.

So is all that pain really worth playing BF3 multiplayer?

Well, if you're downloading BF3 from scratch, it's 16GB in total, the patch included. Connection issues as far as I'm aware are fixed and if there still are, it's mostly due to punkbuster issues like the connection problems BC2 had.

The files are BIG, I would think is a pain to download everything. 16gb base game + 3gb for cq dlc, and Im guessing the game will only get bigger.

What about the campaign. Most people say that it is boring. But i was on a long break from fps gaming . The last fps i played was COD 1 in 2003. So will it be a bad investment (considering my long break) if i buy BF3 for the Single player. IF it is a bad investement can anyone suggest fps games with a decent campaign.?

^I'm not big with singleplayer fps, but bf3 isnt good for the campaign.

Metrto 2033 is a good FPS and it's a single-player only game. I also enjoyed Rage quite a lot, although it's not much for story but more for it's gameplay.

stalker: shadows of chynoble

stalker call of pripyat

both examples of good SP fps's

anyway one game i might recommend to you fr MP is minecraft

it takes all of 15 seconds to download (thats with a slow connection) and basically consumes 0 data. the problem is that servers can lag like mad on a bad day.

BF3 multiplayer is like CoD on speed. You die three times as often and the inclusion of vehicles turn the battlefield into a chaotic rather than strategic environment. It's fun if you like lots of noise and explosions and shooting anything that moves but you won't find much in the way of teamwork and proper objective hunting.

Arma 2 is the ideal military FPS for that. I remember playing on Insurgency Co-op where you and your squadmates have to work together, keep formations as you clear buildings, covering fire etc. Best teamwork I've seen in an FPS.

Bf3 can be whatever you want it to be. Pubstar, lonewolf, or team work thru 3rd party voice chat.

I was destroying this squad with their god awful gunplay skill, but they manage to stick together and revive each other enough to beat us.

There are also organized clan wars 32v32 sometimes, I have yet to try those, but they do exist. The game is a mix of casual and seriousness in it to cater to everybody. Yes, you do they faster by bullets, but at least you don't get those bs killstreak stuff raining on you.

The game of course does have flaws like glitches, camping, and vehicles that pretty much overpowers ground units if you know how to use them.

In BF3, you are the Killstreak :P. Ask one of your jet or heli teammate to bombard a checkpoint.
