Battlefield 3

I don't play 64 players servers, just found them far far too laggy.

32 player servers worked fine though :)

Had so much fun playing this game, tommorrow will be the last time I can play it though. Got varsity exams starting soon.
 
I find 32 man conquest servers to be the best. 64 man servers are just too big and most of the time you just run around from flag to flag.
 
We really need cheaper and better hardlines in this country. Its the only thing that makes the gaming experience a downer at times. Look at the USA. Lots of providers for cheap.
 
Anyone got any tips for me on how to play better?

I've never played an FPS like BF3 online before (but I have played about 800 hours of TF2 -> but you can't compare and the skills don't really translate that well).
 
Keep getting disconnected... 8ta keeps losing signal!!! Aaaaa!!!! gonna play single player for now...

Even if you are not the best when it comes to gun skill you can still contribute and rank up, dropping ammo and health in high traffic areas will get you tons of points, also reviving and repairing. On rush defense dont worry about kdr, even if you have to sacrifice yourself to take one of the enemies tickets its worth it, you have unlimited spawns and they dont. On bfbc2 on some maps i used to grab a quad and rush the attackers spawn, only had about 8 seconds once i dismounted and usually manged to take out at least 4 or 5 tickets before they even left the base... have not tried my guerilla tactics on bf3 yet :D
 
So many people playing this. All meet the system requirements?

I play it on high with my pc but my HD6850 is getting stretched. I had to overclock it heavy to get a stable FPS of and avg of 50-55 FPS.

My poor card is just getting so stretched. I don't want to go lower than high settings cause it kills the game I think for me atleast.


Loving it though. Got it at CNA Today for R390. So I am playing it sick!!!! :D

Yea, i've been playing quite a bit as support/assault and dropping ammo and health whenever I can for teammates, but I just seem to get mowed down so easily when I get into 1 on 1 battles :/ I guess I just need to practise more :)
 
Frikken loving this game, and surprised at how it runs on my system. Playing on medium at a slightly lower resolution but my quad core and GTS250 gets by fine :) And medium does not look so bad.

Still, its time for an upgrade hahaha

Have not had much lag at all, 2 of us playing on a 4mb line on 64 player server. we running our own lan teamspeak though.

Exactly that, practise. After a few days you get used to the 'feel' of the game, the way the weapons behave, the maps etc.

And when shooting, aim for the chest and head, and shoot in short bursts :) crouching may also help stabilise your gun so it doesn't recoil and bounce all over the place as much.

And in a 1 on 1 battle, if your main gun runs outa ammo,don't reload it if you are in the open. Quickly scroll down to ur handgun and pop the guy in his head.

Enjoy :)

what software are you using? Try mwconn. I don't loose connection not even on 30 percent signal strength with it. Plus you can adjust the pings with it.
 
Booja, finally got to play a bit, and so much more fun then BC2 :D, only problem atm is I'm get lost in the beauty of the game and get killed while admiring the scenery, hehe.
 
My i7 920 with 4Gb ram and a GTS250 cannot cope with everything turned down low. New GTX560 arriving on Monday.

I don't mind dude, some okes are on 40 already :eek:.
 
Level 40 = most times Int haxors ...... in time, I hope PB catches up and bans these d1cks
 
Is anyone else getting crashing issues? I see tons of people on the forums having the same problem as me. It crashes to desktop after 10-15min with battlefield 3 has stopped responding. Windows trying to find a solution. Everyone said to uninstall punkbuster then reinstall and manually update. I've down that.....three times and still the same. Increased the voltage on my gtx460 to 1087.......same. Its extremely frustrating. Loving this game but sick of getting the crashes.
