Tank pong is still one of the greatest multiplayer game types ever. I still play it once a month or so with friends or my dad because it really is timeless and awesome.

Wait, that guy?! gently caress he was annoying when we played with him and he was in the party. He was all I'm pro Alpha male player dude guy and you need to listen to me as to what to do cause I'm awesome and you guys can't hold a candle to my mystical gaming prowess...

Also, he's not better than a good portion of the regular gently caress-around Goon-Crew.

Yes, he is, Lunchtrays. He is a professional gamer. He gets paid money to play video games.

By the way, I once received money to shovel an old lady's walk. I am a professional snow shoveller and therefore way better at it than you, an amateur snow shoveller.

That's not an issue at all... Bootcamp is just a mac utility to set up a partition for you to install windows onto. It's still an intel core processor and you're still running windows natively. Assuming you meet all the hardware requirements, you shouldn't have any problems running it.

I wish I could play it here at work because my power mac is the poo poo.

This isn't really unusual if you're playing the objectives.

But I wasn't playing the objectives. Instead, I landed 5 400+ Marksman headshots on these assholes because they just loving STOOD STILL AND SNIPED.

I've run into this a few times, but I encountered a similar glitch. Last night we joined conquest on Metro. We had 4 people so we all jumped in Foxtrot and there was a haunted ghost spawn bacon by B. None of had spawned in yet and I think we had 2 assaults and 2 supports. It was pretty loving creepy. The great part is that it never went away no matter who spawned on it.

You see, on every map, there are what I like to call 'zen lines'. Snipers move to areas with high concentrations of these lines, optimally where many of them converge, and standing still on one pf those 'zen points' allows the user to achieve temporary enlightenment to the Shitlord Plane. Doing so produces quite a euphoric feeling, and it's not uncommon for one to stand on one of these points for more than five minutes at a time.

SporkTSI posted:

I know. The playstyle used by most Recons is so unsuited to how I play. I'm always up in everyone's poo poo, arming MCOMS, capping points and stabbing people while I go at them with my trusty SKS.

Stew Man Chew posted:

What I don't understand is that it took me 7 or 8 shots to zero in on these dudes at such a range, like... you hear the bullets zinging past you, I blow up your spawn point, why don't you just MOVE?

Kashew posted:

I know what Bootcamp is, Scarf. And I am telling him that regardless that a boot camp version will not work. You can't get exactly the right drivers, it's a gigantic program to even try running virtually, etc. What's even more shocking is that he expected it to work all jerry-rigged and got mad when it didn't.

I've decided that there's an incredibly large population of players who are either deaf or play with the game on mute. I can't tell you how many times I've used an unsilenced gun to take out a guy from behind near point blank range who is crouched RIGHT NEXT to a buddy who keeps ADS in the opposite direction.

Wait... does he actually win money from playing BF3? We need to get Sam in here to confirm this.

I love how HC back and forth always comes up everyone argues and it goes away only to come back a few pages later.

If you don't like HC mode fine. Strangely in BF3 there's far more people who seem to like it than players liked HC in BC2. There's something there...

I'll play both modes so it doesn't matter to me.

You are an idiot. A few of us actually use Macs, and the innards of them are so much similar to PCs that drivers are not a problem. The issue is using shady gently caress websites for the sake of being cheap and the whole horrible Origins/web browser to play games debacle.

Getting sniped from an unknown location gets old in hardcore.

I'd love if there was a system in hardcore where kill-cams activate when you are sniped by the same dude on your third death. That would take the frustration out of it for me if I knew where the shot came from.

If a sniper thats not in a squad drops a spawn beacon anyone on the team can spawn on it.

Ah, so one of my useless pubby squad mates decides to spend the entire round back at the spawn sniping in the general area of the tower on caspian. After a while I get bored and try to spot in that general direction to see if I can find out what he's shooting at. I don't see anything but maybe there was a dude or two perched out there. Just for the sake of being a dick I stand in front of him and shine my flashlight in his face...so he immediately suicides, respawns and then takes a tank out into the middle of a field to do the same loving thing. Persistence!

PC: purchase a product key from a dodgy website that required my mobile phone number to confirm my purchase/identity, the key was for the russian game disc

This is on a bootcamped imac,

Remind me again why anyone wants PC gaming to survive?

Something must be really hosed with my install or something because sometimes while playing on HC servers I get a killcam. It kind of goes hand in hand with reload animations not playing, firing invisible mortar shells, and more annoyingly the friendly squad markers not appearing until after I've teamkilled them.

Stew Man Chew posted:

Let's not get rose-colored on that though, remember the sheer amount of fuckery that went on trying to install textures on 360?

Also why did you buy a dodgy key, why did you borrow an install disc and not download it from Steam or whatever, you had an Unusual Time by the sound of it.

I've been noticing Support dudes hanging out in that area recently. I have no idea why, but I've been running across 2 to 3 at times. That and now there's at least one tank with zoom optics and guided shells that will sit there the whole round. The terrain is so rough in that area that going after the camping tank with another tank is an easy kill.

Something I've been wondering about is guided shells vs aircraft. Do flares stop the incoming round? Seems flares only work half the time if at all when I get a guided shell lobbed my way. In jets its a non-factor, but in choppers it's annoying. In the choppers you have to stay low because if you're effective at killing ground targets at all, you can bet your rear end someone you've killed is going to hop in a jet just to ram you.

bought a dodgy key (which works fine) for $27USD instead of $79USD (Australian regional pricing! yaaaay) because I didnt feel like paying $80 twice for a half finished game.

Borrowed the disc simply cos I can and enabled me to use a cheap key.

Even with out the key/language issues its still a Gigantic gently caress around JUST to get the game to start and I still didnt actually play the game.

It comes down on it's own which is pretty lame. That might be the reason I've been seeing Support dudes in that direction doing absolutely nothing. In CQ is comes down when I think the losing team has 15 tickets left. I always try to race to it so it can crush me. I don't know why I do this, but I do!

He doesn't take part of any of the clan stuff, they are much more serious than he is, I can't stand them. I got kicked out of a party with the MG guys when the game launched because I used land mines and after they told me to stop, I pulled out the mortar to plink their vehicles (we were spawn camped).

He pretty much plays with a few friends and his brother. I really don't get how you guys can't get along, I love chilling and sometimes doing gimics with him, the best was when we C4ed a venom and Jihaded their havoc. He just hates when people whine, I dislike it too though so there's that.

He might actually done MLG stuff for BC2, he was a hell of a lot better in that game IIRC.

Well you have lots of places you can get to using a MAV to fly there but besides those a few maps have areas you can get into, buildings mostly that cannot be destroyed and have invisible walls. Some of them allow you to shoot out but nothing to shoot in. Highway and bizarre both have one.
