Is part of that the premium package that has to be paid for or is it all free?

Oh that's good. I had this idea that premium was an obligatory download which you could choose to pay to unlock or not.

Premium is just the service, I'm fairly certain that the update includes the Close Quarter, and possibly Armoured Kill map packs, or Karkand for those that didn't have it. There is no way, noooooo fucking way a patch is 2.5 gigs. This is EA's cunty way of slipping a patch in with DLC to avoid paying something somewhere.

it adds in the new stuff for premium but there were a separate download for the cq maps.

If you guys are playing 1943 and not telling me i will do great harm to everything you've ever loved

I need a new network cable for my router but if anyone fancies playing 1943 later in the week i am all over it so much a little bit of wee came out no i dont know what that means

I'll even consider asking frantic for his address again for like, the 4th time

Seriously, i'm so in, all of you, get it, yes it's super simple but its the superlative bombastic chaotic fun i first ever loved bf for

Remember when everyone tried to have their own control set up?

Left trigger to accelerate and left bumper to brake and reverse takes some getting used to. Despite that and the slightly dubious netcode and the leetness of some of the people who've been playing this the whole time, 1943 was pretty good fun.

Surprising how nice it looks as well, the animation isn't there, but it's decent enough. The colour palette though, holy shit, what happened to DICE.

10m 'network cable' i spose! If you could that would be really grand mate, well, could do with 2 or 3 really but yeah, you know, cat5 on either end, plugs into a LAN port. I think its amusing i dont actually know what to call them. Patch cable?

Massively appreciated if you could though! Can you get your addy to me via some medium so i can get Vanquish back to you? Its been eating at my conscience like some conscience eaty thing. Do you still have my address also?

And is it agreed we play 1943 at some point and fun times be had by all? I'm kinda tempted to get a bottle of Di Saronno and do it in the old style

I'd just go by 10m i guess! Should do the trick, but no mate can you put the cat5 connectors on an RJ45 cable like i asked?

ANYWAYS, yes that would be lovely, you are a champ, and are you playing 1943 with us like i've just decided we are all going to?

im going for a few new pads today just for this, my normal one has a brocken inard at the sync and charge part.
my other constantly floats up.

loving bf3 even with broken tools.

Yeah, we should try and get a big squad on.

It will be England v Spain on sat

What if we finish top? Pessimist. 

My iPod has just informed me that if you're pessamistic, you're a pessimist. Pessa, pessi. Sounds like a new term for the way Spain over elaborate during a match.

I think they'll probably win tonight, I just wouldn't mention it if I was English. Talk about tempting fate.

Frostbite 2 was built for the next gen.

EA tit confirms what I've said all along.

"We take the philosophy on not forcing tech upon anyone"

Fucking hypocrite.
