Doesn't seem to add anything that isn't already there with ADS. If you shine it at people it blinds them somewhat. On the other hand it makes you more visible. Whether it's useful depends on the map/mode/how you're playing.

Doesn't seem to add anything that isn't already there with ADS. Laser sight option is indeed hipfiring. It's actually a very noticable reduction in spread on your main gun. It also has a massive red laser that's great for annoying whoever you're shooting at and revealing your position if you don't turn it off when sneaking. Edit: what K8.0 said. Don't use it in dark places, like Metro or Tehran, if unless you want to be lit the gently caress up.

Wait you can turn on/off the tactical options on your gun? Or do you just mean not equipping it?

This was put up in the Megathread but I think you guys will appreciate it just as much here. Huge thanks to Batham for this wallpaper. Revitalized posted:There's a spreadsheet? I want more tags! Captain Beans posted:Origin backlash should be some kind of psych study. It literally does everything the server browser in a game does, except better and faster. People just knee jerk because it is different and outside of the game like they are used to for 10+ years of PC gaming. I was such a baby about it the first time, 'UH A PLUGIN AAA'. The only thing it doesn't do is let you change settings, but ok you set them once in game then you are fine.

Mortars, so on Rush you can literally pin a m-com station and completely prevent the from a team disarming it or planting it completely. Nice one

I turned down my core clock down to 800 from 850 with the EVGA Precision tool, and now my artifacting has gotten even worse  I guess I'll turn it back up to 850 and play with this annoying glitch until NVIDIA releases new drivers or something.

Honestly, I carry around a mortar kit as a defending Support just because of this. If they can hit you, you can hit them, and a mortar aimed at a mortar seems to always hit and OHKO the enemy. Just drop and pop.

sorry if this has already been asked (this thread moves incredibly fast) but has anyone else encountered a problem where you join a server and end the match and it starts the countdown to load the next match but instead of the loading screen it just stays black freezes and your cursor appears? i keep encountering this and have to manually force close bf3 and start battlelog up again.

Just finished the campaign on Hard vs the ridiculously cheap aimbot AI. I know the campaign isn't why people play this game, but why does the co-op (campaign?) actually have unlocks while the game doesn't acknowledge you beating the singleplayer campaign at all? I feel like my time would've been better spent just running it through on easy.

What's the best way to reduce load times? 9 out of 10 times I load after everyone else has already spawned and driven all the vehicles away. It's kind of irritating waiting for a vehicle spawn half the time.

I was showing some pubbie scrublord how to drive a tank when the game did another one of those silent crashes. Has anybody figured out what the deal is with that? I can play a couple rounds fine, then right in the middle of another one the game just shits itself. Dumbass first drove the tank right onto the bridge in Seine Crossing and said "It's a TANK, you're supposed to PUSH with it" after getting hit by 8 SMAWs at once. Apparently the reason most people can't do well in the tank is because they think the game is set in WWII. Vertigus fucked around with this message at Oct 28, 2011 around 03:30 |

Anecdotal evidence I know, but it wont hurt.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I turned down my core clock down to 800 from 850 with the EVGA Precision tool, and now my artifacting has gotten even worse That sucks that you are having so many issues with artifacting. I have a 560 Ti as well (MSI Hawk, 950 MHz stock but I overclocked it to 1050 Mhz) and I thought I had dodged a bullet with the artifacting, but today it happened to me on 2 different maps, and holy gently caress is it annoying. It hasn't happened to me again after 3 hours of online play, but sweet Jesus did it ever make the game unplayable. Every time I would enter ADS, gigantic black polygons would obscure my view, and they'd move and distort as I'd move around. On top of that, I'd get green flashes on half of my screen. Hopefully nVidia or DICE release something to fix it soon, because my game runs incredibly well otherwise, I can have everything on Ultra except MSAA and it runs ridiculously smooth at 1080p.

It's ridiculous how you can hit a tank on its top (which is MOST VULNERABLE in real life) with 14 (FOURTEEN) missiles from an attack helicopter, and it doesn't even get loving disabled. The air vehicles are so purely disappointing.

Yeah, everything else about the game is gorgeous except for that, and it runs incredibly well at Ultra @ 1080p for me too. And it doesn't even happen on some maps. It seems like it's only present on maps with a lot of sunlight. Like, Tehran Highway is completely immune from it. But maps with lots of sunlight are annoying as hell to play because I can't spot enemies a lot of times since a giant black polygon is blocking my view.

The air vehicles are so purely disappointing. Attack it from the side or rear, and coordinate with your gunner so he is hitting it with his cannon at the same time. I have no trouble disabling tanks in a single good pass.

Ok besides the damage, what the gently caress is up with the mouse acceleration, why would they ever leave that in there? And why would they leave the commo rose that does absolutely nothing (broken) in a retail product? And why would they take OUT the useful feature of a sound that tells you when you can't spot anymore?? Michael Scott fucked around with this message at Oct 28, 2011 around 03:45 |

unpurposed posted:Does anyone else get this stupid problem where you join a server and when it says "Game Ready", the exe crashes or something? It's infuriating. Yeah that's happened to me at least a half dozen times. I've even had to shut down the program in Task Manager because it locked up while trying to load a map. It's also happened to me when I was playing the single player campaign. I don't know if it's a driver issue or what, but I'm rocking an i5 2500K and 560 Ti, so if your using a similar setup, there might be something to that considering all the issues 560 Ti users have been having.
