Battlefield 3

I haven't played BF3 in a while. I tried to play last night but was lagging so disconnected. I might be "over" it :eek:
 
Well I was on the getting my ass handed to me team last night. People need to get that "you can't camp your way to a win in battlefield conquest". So next maybe just maybe I'll get some easy kills when we have all the flags. I'll just have to learn how to shoot fish in a barrel and leave my sportsmanship at home...

oh... think I misread your initial post :o

I can never understand how people take enjoyment in controlling all the flags so early in the game and locking the enemy down to their base when there are still +250 tickets left :/
 
Anyone have issues connecting? I wait in queue, and when the client is loaded, I get the "You have been disconnected from EA Live" message...

EDIT: Hmm... disabling peerblock fixes it.

ok what is peerblock? and how do you disable it?
 
A program torrent downloaders use so the don't get nasty ISP emails it's 3rd party software so if you didn't download and installed it your PC shouldn't have it
 
Well was on a 1000 ticket server we lost 813 / 0

Esea, I'm not saying this wasn't attempted or effort wasn't put in, but I always find in a situation like that there is somewhere to sneak out your base.... even if "sneaking" involves driving the $%&( out a buggy straight out the front door :D I do die a good few times trying to find the hole, but once you're out, you can start bringing your team back in?

On a sidenote, I haven't played THAT much recently (been exceptionally tired when getting home recently :cry:) and from being an ace with my AEK/M416/F2000 I'm now REALLY struggling.... so what I've learned is, NEVER stop playing BF..... No matter what! :)

Try doing that on Grand Bazaar :/
The one alley two engineers + sniper + support just spam, so that passage is blocked.
Snipers on the bridge covering the main spawn exit
Sniper + support in the other alley way
3 or 4 enemy mortars as well
And to seal the deal, infantry only

Fun! :/
But I think that server was borked anyway due to hacks

Yeah, the hacks are starting to show up. Saw a guy sniping the other day. He was camping with a teamie. I smash his teamie with a few shots and proceed to empty the rest of my clip on him. He doesn't die but despite being shot he hasn't seemed to have noticed me. I quickly reload, duck back out and empty the new clip on him. Again, he doesn't die. I'm like wtf. Pull out my pistol, empty it, run up and try and knife him twice from the front... I see the chat window. "Lol". His teamie owns me.

It was greatly satisfying to discover that his hacks couldn't save him from a good gutting though. He's up on a rock camping, sneak up behind him, pull out my knife. Flip him over, SCREAM "DIE HACKER!" and plunge my knife deep into his chest.

Most satisfying kill ever.

He seemed to turn them off shortly after though, coz the following round he was trailing the bottom of the logs. I can't remember his exact name but if I see his nick again I know I'll remember it, and I'll post it up.

OOI, are these maps that have punkbuster on? If so, it's not doing that great a job :)

Meh. Grand Bazaar no. Got absolutely spawn munched last night.

We eventually managed to sneak out and take highway, but by then it too late.
 
Wasn't the spawn bug mean't to have been sorted with the last patch. I die. I spawn & bamn dead.

How do you guys control the heli's. I seem to still struggle and i have a joystick.

The spawning is still dodge. I've spawned on the enemy so many times. Ridiculous.
 
HOLY COW!!!

gonna take me quite a while getting hang of a mouse again.

have the G500 for about 1hr now and loving it, but my wrist will need to get used to it again cause it is already aching :(

Dude, remove the mouse acceleration in the config file. You will be amazed at the difference.

edit
how to fix the negative mouse accel issue:

1. go here: C:\Users\YOU\Documents\Battlefield 3\settings
2. Open PROF_SAVE_profile with notepad++ (can download for free)
3. Change the following variables:

GstInput.MouseSensitivity 0.050000 ;1st one is the normal mouse sens. USE whatever you like, or keep it the way it is.

These two however I edited and it solved many problems for me.

GstInput.Scheme0Sensitivity 0.000000
GstInput.Scheme1Sensitivity 0.000000
GstInput.Scheme2Sensitivity 0.000000

Always make a Back up or remember the original values folks!

Backup the files first!!

With the entry level sniper rifles, how many times are you expected to hit an enemy before he drops? Excluding headshots and point blank.

Is there anything else that influence damage except for the weapon of the attacker and distance from the target?

Normally first shot does 59 damage. So the second shot should kill him no matter where he is hit.

This I have experience with on the sniper rifles. As for the assault weapons I have no idea. I have opened and finished whole clips on people and they turn and kill me :D
I have also survived assault rifle attacks with 0% health left but then you're phased that you can hardly see anything and a buzzing sound. once your health starts regenerating you are ok again :D

On a sniper rifle it should be 2 shots no matter the distance.
