Battlefield 3: Getting Kicked from Server by Administrator?

By Tommy Stephansen
30th October, 2011

If you’re experiencing a problem with constantly getting kicked from servers while playing Battlefield 3, it could be a PunkBuster Client issue, rather than an actual server administrator kicking you.

To resolve the issue it could be necessesary to update the PunkBuster Client for Battlefield 3 manually. Here’s how:

Download PBSetup and install
If Battlefield 3 is missing from the list of games, click “Add a Game”.
Select “Battlefield 3” and verify that the install path is correct. It should normally be auto-detected by PBsetup.
Click “Add Game”.
Select “Battlefield 3” from the list of games and click “Check for updates”. This will update the DLL files if they’re missing.
If the file update fails, your last resort is to download the update files and update manually.

Back to Karkand also brings back ten (10) iconic weapons from the Battlefield series, five new dog tags, fire new achievemens/trophies, and a new “persistence reward system” that rewards points for completing certain assignments.

Battlefield 3 Co-Op unlocks

All 7 BF3 co-op weapon unlocks listed by required coop score:

63 000: MP412 Rex (Revolver / All kits) Developed for export in Russia (REX stands for Revolver for Export), the MP443 is a compact .357 Magnum handgun with an interesting tilt open and auto extraction design. While not as powerful as the .44 Magnum, the .357 Magnum round from the MP412 offers excellent stopping power and the compact package offers a slightly higher rate of accurate fire.
126 000: KH2002 (Assault Rifle / Assault Class) This Iranian developed Assault Rifle is essentially a bullpup conversion of the M16. The KH2002 is intended to replace the G3 in service with the Iranian armed forces, though there is speculation that it may be years before the rifle is ready for full deployment. The KH2002’s short length lends itself well to close combat, but prevents it from mounting any underslung weapons.
189 000: MP7 (Machine Pistol / All kits) Another contender for the newly developing PDW market the MP7 is currently in service with the German Bundeswehr and the Norwegian Armed Forces. The MP7A1 includes an improved stock, additional safeties, and added rails for mounting lights, lasers, and sights. The weapon is also capable of being suppressed, giving it excellent close combat stealth performance.
252 000: M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle (aka the M14 EBR from BC2 / Sniper Class) The M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle (EMR) is a highly modernized M14 designed to be utilized by USMC designated marksmen. Issued with match-grade 7.62mm NATO long range ammunition the M39 is significantly lighter and more accurate than the original M14. The M39 is limited to Semi-Automatic fire, but supports a number of accessories including a standard Rifle Scope (8x).
315 000: M93R (Burst fire pistol / All kits) A modified version of the M9 pistol, the 93R is able to fire in 3 Round Bursts. The 93R is equipped with a forward folding fore grip and an extended barrel which is ported to reduce recoil. Trained shooters are able to fire busts in rapid succession, and the pistol is typically seen in service only with elite special purpose units.
378 000: SG553 (Carbine / Engineer Class) A Carbine variant of the Swiss Army’s standard SG550 rifle, the SG553 improves over its predecessor the well-known SG552 by including integrated rails for mounting accessories. A Carbine with excellent ergonomics, the SG553 is capable of Automatic, 3 Round Burst, and Semi-Automatic fire and is an excellent close range weapon.
441 000: G3A3 (Assault Rifle / Assault Class) The G3 rifle is one of the most widely fielded Assault Rifles in the world. Multiple versions of the G3 exist, and it has been used in countries around the world, including Sweden where it was known as the AK4. This particular G3 is the A3 variant, with a fixed stock. The long barrel and firing heavy 7.62x51mm NATO round enable the G3A3 to reach out at longer ranges than most other Assault Rifles, but at the cost of heavy recoil.
