God why can't it just be the weekend already. No I don't want to go into work, much rather be playing BF3 all day. I think I may be coming down with a legitimate cold however, here's hoping for a sick day!

Had some great matches last night with some goons on WookWook and TukTuk. If anyone is up for some co-op or some more MP action tonight, search my soldier name AtomicSX in battlelog.

One thing I noticed last night, half of the team going recon and 0 mobile spawn points. I better start playing on a goon server.

I honestly don't understand other players sometimes. When I played recon in beta I would drop those things constantly hoping to get some teammates to help me out. I think the mobile spawns have the power to turn the tables in many cases.

One bullet. One gun. Six Chambers. These are my friends.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing airplanes come out of nowhere to hit the ground twenty feet in front of me, or tanks on fire rolling backwards through fences, nearly running me over.

My only gripe so far is that I'd really like some ATVs. Riding them up stairs would make the clusterfucks on Metro conquest way more hilarious.

What are people using for their prone key? I meant to re-bind it in Beta but couldn't find a suitable key. Now that Launch is here, I figure now is the best time to mess about with key binds.

I use Ctrl for crouch (toggle), C for prone, X for selective fire.

Crouch was always Ctrl by default back in the 90's, I've never been able to get used to using X or Shift or whatever kids are using these days.

I've found C works quite well for prone though.

Origin Advice, if you keep losing your files (as in going up to 90% then deleting the entire folder) and you resort to backing up the folder every 10%.

Don't.

According to an EA guy there is a pause bug where if you pause more than three times it will corrupt both the BF3 folder and the Origin downloader.

You will see what I saw. I had to delete it and start over, in 3 hours I can play the game. I've been downloading since the 21st due to dropped connections and corrupted saves. Also my internet sucks (but steam works just fine for steam games)

Running a 460GT with an I5 and 4GB of ram. Runs everything great at high. But since I'm using a tv as monitor, it can only go up to 1360 before it starts looking weird.

The only bug I've noticed at the moment was watching a jet slam into a hill nose first. For some reason, the jet didn't explode upon impact and instead bounced backwards about 5 or 6 feet before exploding in mid air. I laughed.

Goddamn I feel like a bond villain every time I fire the stinger. Stinger/mines is the way to play with the engineer on big open maps, at least until I get the javelin. I just hope the UMP is good of a murder machine it was in bc2 (lvl 17 unlock ugh).


e; speaking on mines, if I pay two down on top of each other will that one shot a tank? I never seem to get tank kills only humvee or light tanks.

So I'm getting awfully close to unlocking mortars, are they good/fun?

On the big open maps I usually roll C4 but on the more enclosed maps or where the vehicles are more standoff-ish like Grand Bazaar or Seine Crossing I've been using mortar a lot and it rocks.

I was rolling like 25-0 and I guess they obviously had no one with mortar because it took them loading up a vehicle a couple of times and storming the front to kill me on Seine.

DICE has out-Modern Warfare'd Modern Warfare......

the scripted melee fight scenes were damned horrible, but were a completely CoD thing to do. the flashbacks to the Black Ops style interrogation...at least it made more sense than Black Ops. If the goal of this game was to combine every obnoxious part of CoD just to spite Activision and show how bad their model is, they certainly have succeeded. It's okay because SP is merely a bonus in this completely MP game.

So does BF3 have some sort of onslaught mode that BC2 had on consoles? I really want this for the PC. Seems like it does but sadly, virtual oceans prevent me from unlocking my copy of the game until Friday. I would appreciate somebody confirming this.

Capitol: A building or complex of buildings in which any legislature meets.
Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.

Am I the only person to have fallen in love with the AAV-7A1 AMTRAC on Kharg and Canals? I love just sitting in that thing and getting kill after kill with the 9-round grenade cannon. The cannon is a beast and can disable other light armor with one salvo, destroy with two, and has a wonderful arc and splash for demolishing infantry behind cover. Or you could just demolish the cover. I got an awesome 5-kill and one team-kill moment when I dropped a building on the defending team just seconds after I exploded.

Best part? The AMTRAC has no unlocks itself (probably because there's no Russian equivalent), so all the points you earn from the death-cannon, or being the death-cannon's driver, and your squad spawning in on the machine go straight to whatever kit you're wearing.

No artifacting, but my mouse kinda jumps around whenever I turn faster than a snail. It makes the game unplayable. I really hope Nvidia gets a fix out soon.

I don't know what that means, since I didn't play BC2. However.. there is NO virtual ocean if you do the proxy unlock method, and it's really drat simple and it should be in the OP so people stop saying they have to wait, because YOU DONT.

same thing for me, game doesn't seem to see it at all for keybinding or anything. Apparently the wired controller works out of the box, wireless not so much. There have been some other games with this issue too.
