Sooo, they really changed up the point scoring for the MAV.
Not only do you get a Spot Bonus per kill, you also get a 20 point Motion Sensor bonus - so 30 points altogether for spotting a target in your MAV.
Once you've gotten enough of those bonuses, you also get a Surveillance ribbon, worth 200 points. On certain maps, it's easy to rack up 5-7 Surveillance ribbons. With a popular spawn point and throwing in the odd cap here and there, you can get a lot of points.
Oh, also, the mines level is still complete and utter horseshit.
Wow EA you suck. I come home with my disk PC copy. I put in the disk, and key, then hit install. The game starts up Origin and starts downloading. That's not right... I try again and it starts downloading again. I can't get the damn game to install from the damn disk I just bought. What's the friggen point of a 2 disk box set if it is automatically set to download from Origin when you stick the disk in?!
This is my question. All right

Same way I downloaded the 11GB download from Amazon, then it just installed Origin and downloaded the whole 11GB again. Yay!
Damn good games tonight, gents. Too bad y'all don't like Metro (on Conquest at least), I was having a ton of fun with the shotty on there. Having flashbacks to the SPAS-12 on MW2.

God damn it so even when I finally get my fucking physical copy Im going to have to wait the hour for it to download the fucking game? Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

Is it possible to manually copy the game data files from the disc to the Origin games folder?
(not that Origin didn't just delete the files I put there and redownload the game again for the BF3 beta - have to laugh at the people who thought Origin would be anything but utter ass, coming from EA)

Why does it even have a disk then, why not just have a slip of paper in an empty box?

For me it took about a half hour @ 1.5 MB so there's definitely something going on. Ant it just asked me for the second disc

I've heard that it's not really DLing even tho it says it is when you install from the disk. I don't know how accurate that is, since I just got it through Origin, but hopefully that's true.

This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard, can someone confirm it? I might just skip getting a physical copy and just order it liek right nao!!

I really hope so. My "premium" internet connection has a 50GB download cap, and I'd hate to waste 11GB of it on a game I pre-ordered on a disk.

I'm fairly sure that Origin displays 'downloading' instead of 'installing' sometimes.

I can buy that. But the difference in how long it takes to "download" from the disc and from EA servers should be so huge that the Spaniard probably couldn't mix it up.

It's coming off the DVDs. I'm at 20% and counting in less than a couple minutes, and there is no network traffic to speak of. Make that 30%.
Aww man that was some good stuff. Game runs beautifully. I'll join vent tomorrow for some tactics. I knew I should have also taken release day off. I have work in 5 hours. Uggggghhh....

For those saying that it was just installing from the disk but saying it was downloading. The speed and "download" time was bouncing all over the place, so I took out the disk and it didn't even miss a beat, so I doubt it was installing from the disk and I interrupted it, cause it just kept trucking along.

Hm, you COULD try setting your Origin to "Offline" and then install the game?

my helicopter experiences always go like this:
get in. okay, i'm doing well. steady. steady. okay, i'm slightly crooked. correct positio--OH GOD I AM UPSIDE DOWN.
also I can't help but feel like I am super rusty.. I generally score a bunch of points, keep everything repaired, blow up armor, basically do my job, but I think I have like 10 more deaths than kills right now. bugs me.

Funny, because mine asked me for Disk 2 at about 60%.
EDIT: Once it was done, it downloaded a 472 MB patch.

I don't think you need to worry about that any more.

Didn't mean to give you false hopes if I'm wrong, but I thought it was bumped everywhere.
