2 bad this patch does no good. its like trying to polish a turd!!!!
well I wish I had a turd worth 560 million dollars in five days.
that patch didn’t do none off that
Hey since you two BSB and GoSaints say it does not fix the issues can you exhibit some proof? Just saying it does not do anything helps no one. I can do the same thing and I don’t and won’t own the game as long as Bobby Kotick is retained as CEO of Activision.
I DO NOT OWN A SINGLE ACTIVISION TITLE AND REMOVE ANY DEMOS AFTER ONE PLAY THROUGH. It is my way of a boycott until Kotick leaves.
i buy used
that is how to boycot and enjoy the fun lol
that patch did none of the above, its been a right joke trying to play with my friends, infact it seems worse if thats at all possible !!!
Ummm… FIX THE TROPHY GLITCHES!!!
my ps3 keeps freezing while playing this game, anyone else having this problem?
it’s your ps3… clean it or let it cool down for a few hours.
Hah… wow, I am so far from surprised at your comments. And people keep asking me why I won’t buy this? Battlefield my friends – is where its at.
