I haven’t played a bit either. Yeah, for like a month we played about three hours a day. I haven’t touched it in a while, but if someone puts together a game I will join if able. ---

I guess they never fixed the Origin and web browser requirements? ---

Has anyone else gotten smoked by the USAS-12 from waaaaaay across the map? People have taken me out with that thing like it’s an LMG. Weird. ---

Explosive rounds, perhaps? I get good results from that. It deserves it’s impending nerf. ---

The rounds shown for the weapon are usually Frag. ---

I had the strangest glitch yesterday: someone rezed me right as I died, so I was alive but stuck in the deployment screen. The only way out of it was for someone to kill me. I’ve recently started playing again in the evenings. ---

Is anyone else getting ridiculously long load times when joining a game? Not just a few minutes but up to half an hour? It used to be a bit long to join but not anywhere near as much as it is now. My hardware is quad core 3.0Ghz, 8GB of ram, ATI 6850. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/battlefield-3/600591.md?page=22)
