You could get faster internet if downloading speed is an issue. Just a thought.

He already posted that he has 3MB per second internet, it seems to be the servers that are slow.

Thanks for the update.

I'm sorry but most PS3 games I ever updated takes a long time and I just got used to it by now.

Fuck DICE for supporting their game with bug fixes, enhancements, and new updates.

WE DO NOT LIKE FREE CONTENT! CHARGE US FOR IT!!!!!

Meh, what they did renting out most of the servers drew me away from BF3 and probably any other BF game in the future. But regarding the DL size, it's the DLC most likely. Then if you wanna buy it just unlocks.

Why the hell is this EA's fault? Because they are patching the game and fixing glitches/bugs? Seriously quit complaining. It's your fault for not playing the game for over a year, you should have expected a large patch download. It should only take you like 15-20 minutes to DL it anyways I don't know what Wal-Mart connection you have that it takes an hour.


Talk about rude. I expect a console game to be working and not require any patching. Expansion packs are fine, but they should not be required to play the game, hnece the name expansion pack.

33mbps on the Countries biggest internet provider.... you little troll. 

 

Faster than 77% of internet connections in Canada. It's seriously been about an hour now and still downloading...

 

and if the game was so bad that it needed a patch this big, I'm never buying another Battlefield game ever again... because they obviously screwed up and didn't do it right the first time around. 

Patches should never take this long to download. 

It took me 15 minutes to dl the Crysis 3 beta (1500mb) and this is what I get. Dafuq is wrong with your net bro? Also, you should expect a large dl file since you haven't played the game in over a year and there has been multiple expansion packs as well as bug/glitch fixes.

 


It's not my internet you rude little troll. I downloaded the DUST 514 Beta which was over 2GB the other night and it was faster than this.

 

I expected a small patch file that would take 10 minutes at most.... Not this. 

 

1. If a game ever needs to be patched THAT much, what does that say about the product they sold to you? 

2. I didnt buy any expansion packs, so why am I forced to download them? Most other games do not force you to D/L new expansions BEFORE you have bought them!

 

Bottom Line: this is bullshit. 

 

 

 

oh yeah.... funny how you tried saying I have a cheap wal-mart connection but my internet is twice as fast as yours. Upgrade y

if your internet is so amazing then why does it take you an hour to dl 2 gb on a 30 mb/s dl speed? Rogers ripping you off bro, dont be mad.

You cant expect them to release a flawless game, especially a game as big as battlefield 3. Patches just show developers care and are listening to their fan base. My comment wasnt meant to be rude, i just found it amusing how the op blames EA for trying to fix their game post release.

A quick calc I run shows that the patch should be downloaded in about 8 minutes with the connection speed you gave.

33Mb/s=33/8=4.125MB/s (megabytes per second)
1942/4.125=470.79 seconds
470.79/60=7.846 minutes

So overall it should take about 8 minutes given that your connection remains atabout  the consistent speed you mentioned. Even if that wasn't the case and it ran at half the speed on average than the one you showed, it should only really take up to 15 minutes. I can say this is the case personally for me because I have the same internet speed (about 32 Mb/s) as yours and whenever I download something from Live that is about 2 GB, it takes about 10-15 minutes. You need to get your internet checked up bro or something else is going horribly wrong, maybe the PSN servers (but you said other PSN stuff didn't take so long and I download stuff on PS3 myself). Plus I don't know how you can have data limit on such a fast connection. Normally such a broadband would come with unlimited data since I imagine you probably pay good money for it.

Anyway, large patches are pretty much part of the online games now. Mostly because besides the actual fixes they tend to make you download all the latest maps/game modes/guns through the patches and they just unlock them on your system once you buy them. I am not defending Dice or EA (I don't particularly like EA myself) and neither do I play BF3. That's just how it goes nowadays.
