I don't know what they did, but the EOD bot's repair tool is now monstrously effective against tanks. Like 3 seconds to kill one. This... this is gonna be a thing

Have you seen my apex seals? I seem to have lost them.

Stingers being left in the game is just a massive bug, I'm sure of it now.

Would anybody happen to know a decent number of auto-scramble servers (preferably 64-player large conquest only)? Like at least three or four, so there's a decent chance I can always get into one within a few minutes. It kinda blows when the game is obviously stacked and it'll stay that way for at least another hour or two.

az posted:People keep saying this. Is it "broken" broken or just a "good combo" broken? It basically gives you a fantastic medium to long range gun with a brutal close in shotgun. Pair it with a suppressed 1911 for when you don't want to show up on radar and the ammo perk and enjoy killing absolutely everything.

I'm gonna stick with these dogtags for a while: Because their tanks/MAAs/IFVs won't make it very far while I'm in the air. Edit: I have also found it very easy to kill infantry with rockets, and I don't remember it being this easy, maybe two or three is all it takes to do the job.

They need to stop listening to the retards at reddit since so many things were fine with the game before they started instituting every little thing those shitlords whined about. It's nice that they are interested in the feedback for their game, but they need to be able to differentiate between idiots and the people with legitimate concerns, and also realize reddit, like 4chan is a black hole of bad ideas from even worse players.

Does anyone running a 6870 (or the latest ATI drivers) on Win7 x64 experience this thing where sometimes the game will randomly just drop out of fullscreen into windowed mode, then right back into fullscreen? It only lasts a fraction of a second and happens maybe once per day (actually hasn't happened to me today at all) but it's annoying nonetheless.

Nope, but I think you have another program running, and it's stealing focus from your game.

I don't have any other programs running aside form Origin and Chrome for Battlelog (with no other tabs open) Since I run another OS as my day-to-day machine, quite literally the only thing installed on this Windows partition is BF3, Origin, and Mumble, and of those I don't even launch Mumble anymore. As the smiley says, it is a mystery v  v

Inspector Detector posted:Missiles really need to be fixed but if there's one thing we can keep I hope its gun damage vs. infantry. The rockets should go back to how they were but I definitely don't miss trying to gun little dudes down and they survive all the hits. Dude gently caress that. Jets don't need to be directly killing infantry, that's ultimate weak sauce. There's gently caress-all infantry (or anyone at this point) can do against jets, it's completely unbalanced that they can kill infantry with zero threat or capable action against them.

Every single infantry death I experienced tonight was SKS + Flash or RPK + Mag. Also, attack choppers are acceptable if you have loving ninja pilots. We managed to counter a point full of Stingers and eventually were brought down by two SOFLAMs. Also, has anyone had the out-of-body bug in choppers where you spawn looking at your own feet instead of the HUD? Happened to me as gunner and my buddy as pilot. Drevoak posted:I've been using the MASS with the G3A3 and it is insane. Is it just the G3A3+MASS that gives it insane range?

BBW FEVER posted:Are you kidding me? He doesn't get "9 rounds into this guy" like the uploader says in the description. I count ~3 hit indicators to the guy's torso and arms. If you look closely during the slow-mo part you'll see that 6/9 of his shots are actually to the right of the target or between the target's legs. I'm not just counting tracers either, look at where his reticule is too. Even if we choose to ignore him him shooting mostly straight at a guy and not getting hitmarkers for half of the shots. THE GUY INSTANTLY zaps him from 100% hp to dead.

Tried rolling with the .44 for the first time earlier and killing 10 dudes by desperately swapping between primary and secondary and finally to knife made me feel like I was playing Counter-Strike again. Game is still legit.

I read a bunch of what goons were saying after the patch before booting it up and they made it sound like a big clusterfuck mess and that dice went off the deep end. Then I played three rounds and I love all the changes. Seriously if you want to really see some blurry as gently caress suppression effects from nothing play Arma 2.

Thats like how the other night I ate three bowls of ice cream. Lots of people say there are bad things about ice cream but in my experience I think ice cream is just great so I'm gonna eat it for every meal. When I'm on my death bed cherry garcia frothing from my diabetes-ridden neuropathic face hole I'm gonna think to myself 'heh, what a buncha goons' moments before my heart monitor steadies to a monotone beep.

It only lasts a fraction of a second and happens maybe once per day (actually hasn't happened to me today at all) but it's annoying nonetheless. I get this with Win7 x64 and a twin SLI 550ti setup, although sometimes it will wait in windowed mode perpetually. Latest drivers, although it happened with the drivers from two months ago also. It's not often though. The window remains in focus, also, but it's incredibly jarring.

I get this bug sometimes as infantry, which is REALLY jarring when I'm doing a sweep of a building and am not sure how many enemies are inside. Suddenly from the corner of my eye I see a gun looming past me, and I turn to find a guy right there ready to kill me-- who is me. Twilight Zone poo poo right there.

Something similar used to happen to me in BC2, generally in the most frantic moments when wildly firing. Very frustrating. After an embarrassingly long time, I realised my mouse had a small hidden thumb button along the bottom edge that you squeeze to trigger. My setup was at defaults, and it was some Logitech implementation of Exposé that was happening. I mapped the button to do nothing and the problem disappeared. So make sure it's nothing that simple.

If it's true they're gonna tone down suppression i'm pretty annoyed. I had the BEST game last night, I was supporting my team and I picked up somebody's PKP with 3.4 x, extended mags (I think? I dont have the gun unlocked) and bipod. I was on Gulf of Oman so all I did was move with my team, and whenever I heard a spotting call out of infantry or light vehicles, i'd tap my larger map on screen (bound to T), identify the location and set up appropriately. I never had to camp and the bipods set up fast enough that I could still use when things started to get hot as long as I was little careful; And that is fine, you shouldn't be directly at the front with an lmg anyway. I took positions in 2nd story windows, rooftops, and any bushy, shady patches of foliage with trees or craters. Suppressing fire was working loving amazing and my team's assault and engis were able to move forward across open terrain without trouble because suppression was actually *SUPPRESSING* people.

If they are going to get rid of running and gunning for the LMGs it would make sense to keep mondo suppression for them, just not for all the guns. Also they should make mortars suppress a huge area to give them an actual use.

Just picked up a GTX550 Ti and 4 gigs of ram so I could finally play some BF3, but every time I get in a game I get a crash within 5 minutes. I've tried using Afterburner to set my voltage and clock rates a la this guy, but no luck. I've also removed the 3D Vision crap that came with the Nvidia drivers I downloaded (296.10). Any suggestions? I have crash log as well, but didn't want to dump more in here than necessary. EDIT: For the record I'm running Win7 32 bit (hence the 4 gigs of ram), so I don't think the fix for realtek onboard audio would work for me.

Ravenfood posted:Maybe in this team-based game with wide open maps, someone on your team or in your squad could actually kill the dude that's making himself incredibly obvious by holding down the fire button on his LMG. No? Then don't play Metro or Damavand conquest and your problem is solved. It's not just LMGs that suppress, and you don't have to hold down the button. One burst will take you out of action for a good ~5-10 seconds, which is a LONG time in a firefight. And 'get someone else to shoot him!' is a silly solution. If you're outnumbering your enemy, then what's the point? Also the game should be balanced on all maps. There's a 50/50 split between linear maps and open maps, and there's a ton of set pieces all around the open maps where suppression would have a huge impact. Not to mention the entirety of the squad rush mode.

D. Ebdrup posted:That's my clan's server. Rounds usually last 36-48 hours, and at the end everything is destroyed. 1 - by "everything" do you mean that everything is FLAT, meaning all 2-3 story buildings along all the streets that you can enter are gone, down in ruins? Is there a massive damage reserve for such buildings that takes a huge time of being blasted with C4 and RPGs to run out, I'm talking hours upon hours? If so, that's really cool. 2 - I assume not a lot of people, if any, actually stick around for that long. Do you keep any unlocks/ribbons/medals you've earned, if you quit the game before the round ends?
