A couple questions that would never get answered on the Battlelog because that poo poo moves faster than a road runner: 1: Are craters just defaulted to off on servers or did they really release this game forgetting to turn terrain deformation back on? 2: Is there any way to get rid of the PING noise in the Battlelog every time something happens? My friend says Chrome doesn't have this problem but I'd like to not have to change my default browser or add a new tab on my toolbar just for a game. MetalMan posted:Has anyone else had a bunch of failed spotting? I'd get the verbal confirmation from my character but no marks on 3d or mini map. Maybe I'm dumb and the server had it turned off, but I could have sworn I saw other spots that round/on that server. DaveKap fucked around with this message at Oct 25, 2011 around 21:57 |

Because of how well the suppression mechanic works I wouldn't worry about the accuracy stat too much. Sometimes it is worth it to empty the rest of the mag knowing full well you won't hit anything. I love that about this game. (I wish bullets were a bit more lethal though at times. 4 blips with a primary is too much) Flanking is important but even moreso is predicting the flow of battle. It takes some time to gain map knowledge but aside from that just work on predicting what bases are a priority for the enemy and where they will be going from there. Then when you get good at that you can start to predict where the 4-man surprise sex squads are going to pop up and the routes they take. One man can do a lot of damage if he's 2 steps ahead of the opposing 32 players. Even more damage if you have guys that spawn on you, move well, know when to hold their fire to gain an advantage.

He's wrong, there are still battlelog sounds in Chrome. And yes, you can turn them off. Edit your profile in battlelog and the options are near the bottom.

Another thing that works well is to simply pick an arbitrary point and defend it. This is especially effective if the point is one in the direct path-of-least-resistance for the zerging enemy pubbies. You can rack up a LOT of kills from players who will try the same approach repeatedly. Better players won't fall for this more than once, but better players are rare. Offense, especially solo offense is inherently more dangerous. Basically, camp like a little bitch, just be smart about it (move around to different vantage points near the point, intercept players as they move into range). Another option is going Engineer and being an anti-vehicle whore/dream smasher.

Coach Sport posted:No it doesn't. All the custom servers I just tried still had the 8 man limit to start a game. It's a hit or miss, either you find one that works or you dont. EDIT: Another news, I worked out my joystick. It loving owns but the throttle is still iffy  Using the Thrusmaster T-flight Hotas X.

So has anyone else played the single player yet? I'm having what I assume is an annoying bug on the last mission, since I did the same part on the prologue mission fine. At the part with the explosives where you have to jump out of the window and to the next car, no matter what I do, I die. I die if I do both jumps, I die if I just hop out of the car, I die if I sit around with my thumb up my rear end.. Am I missing something?

Why did I order from Amazon, when I could be unlocking as a Eurogoon now?  Oh now I remember, because they decided that having it be 33% more than retail on a digital download service was viable in 2011. That's why.

So has anyone else seen BF3 randomly only allow deployment via the keyboard, and then, ten minutes later, completely switch off the HUD so I have no idea who is who or where I'm going?

Sometimes, more often than not, when changing maps instead of the loading screen with the blue square at the bottom, I'll just get a black screen. The only way to 'fix' this is control+alt+delete and kill bf3.exe. It's loving annoying, didn't happen in beta, and kind of sucks. Any idea whats the issue?

Is there some trick to making the installer work? I tried to install it from the DVDs I just bought but after I put the key into origin it just started downloading and looks like it will take pretty much forever to finish.

Why is there a 560ti in my shopping cart on newegg?  Gotta try and hold out for the new lines...Armor on the infantry based maps can be brutal if it's getting any kind of support. The majority of my kills are from sitting in the tank/LAV in Seine Crossing and Grand Bazaar.

So there I was, sitting in the gunner's seat of an attack chopper in our base. While I was waiting for someone to come along and pilot it I was randomly firing shots out towards the middle of the map. There are choppers and jets flying around there! I might as well try, right? Vehicle Disabled 100  Holy poo poo I got one!

Yaos posted:It's great because a lot of people won't get in it. Best place for an AA tank is behind a line of infantry. Tried to fly the helicopter in Firestorm, I was doing ok, then suddenly the controls would not respond. I start tilting left and no matter how I moved my mouse or smashed keys on my keyboard it would not do anything. I didn't even need to be very close to the battle, even just the gun kills from very long range if you lead the target

Welp, I'm still getting the stupid FPS lag spikes. It starts out pretty smooth, but eventually these strart creeping in - I'll be playing at 50-60 FPS, then the game ... freezes for 4-5 seconds. Then back to 50 fps. The frequency of these freezes increases as I play longer. After 20 minutes, they happen every 30 seconds. I've got a 4.2ghz i7, and a 5870... running 11.9 cats. With msi afterburner for overclocking.

I have a 5870 running those and I'm pretty pleased so far. Are these framerates coming from SP or MP?

MP. Last time I tried a beta driver it actually made this problem WAY worse, and broke a bunch of other things to boot. Well, I guess I'll give it a shot - can always downgrade if it goes full retard again.

Yeah the 11.10 v3 preview has been running great for me on an overclocked 5830.

If anyone wants an empty server to practice flying on right now I just spent some time here: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf...AYERS-ALL-MAPS/ Helicopters feel much more maneuverable than they did in BC2 and jets are much more fun than in BF2 just because you have such a large area for flying. I doubt I'll fly jets much, though, since it seems all they are good for until you unlock rockets and stuff is for dogfighting other jets.

Not sure what the hell is wrong with my computer today but the game's crashing really often, just hardlocked my computer a moment ago and the GPU driver is crashing once in a while. What the christ? It was totally fine yesterday and now it's acting up.
