I still don't get Crackdown. I played 1 for a about an hour, collected some agility orbs and got bored.

How dare you compare the 1st one!

So I've done a search about official servers but I'm a little unclear on this. Does DICE have servers out there? How can you tell which ones are official?
It's getting to be a pain having to drop in and out of servers that have some ridiculous ticket amount for Conquest mode.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
If you click on the server you can see the admin. DICE servers list DICE as the admin.
When you find one, favorite it and eventually when you have enough, just surf through your favorites filter to find one that is active.

Gonna try it now, thanks
I thought MAV and Tugs didn't register movement up and down floors? I had read something about the close combat maps they were this way. Maybe for just these maps?

they register movement on multiple floors in CQ maps, but the minimap only shows blips on the current floor.
They do. That's why DICE even says in the loading screen tips to put it up or down a floor.
Fucking frostbite freeze....
I get in one of my favorite servers. I'm on a good team and we're winning. Playing for no more than 5 min, and I go to create a new squad since my squad is kinda dumb. Game freezes.
Reboot. Rejoin server on same team. I spawn, hop in a chopper and am excited to tear shit up. Game freezes.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

not on "close shitters"
No, this is PS3 version. It just locks up and you have to restart the whole system with the power button.
Nobody plays on Close Shitters, though. So nothing of value is lost there.

Playing on Canals tonight me and Faceless were rolling deep in the z-11. He managed to pick me up 3 separate times from the carrier deck when I was dropping out and shooting people. I also managed to rpg a little bird during that rampage as well. Was so awesome getting those last second pick ups in the chopper.

that 2nd pickup was so awesome! dropped off, enemy spawns in the little bird, takes off, you RPG it as it's flying away and i manage to swing back around and get you, hahahahahahaha!
I stopped playing this game for 2-3 months so I could play my other games I've ignored since buying this. Close Quarters got me hooked all over again.
After 3hrs of flying them, I finally unlocked the heat seeking missiles for jets. I use to fly and just pray n spray, which never did anything 9/10 of the time. My first jet kill, I was ecstatic! The heat seeking missiles make flying funner and a bit too easy but much deserved being that it took me forever to get kills.
Annoyed at my shotguns getting nerfed, M1014 and USAS-12. I just started using the M26 MASS, boy am I in love. That's how a real shotgun should be, 2 hits max.

Yup, just did that this weekend. Though it sucks they don't have all conquest official servers anymore and no Close Quarters official servers.
There's an expansion called Close Quarters? I'm not sure what you're talking about...

That's a lie. Some of my Official DICE went to CQS.
They have it setup as Server17364 or something like that

Tss, and my friends wonder why I don't want to play this crappy game anymore.
After a bit of coercion one of them got me to play again.
Win or lose, not much fun like always.
And it didn't take long for admin abuse to kick in once again.
Emptied out a server so we looked for a new one.
Play this game of Caspian. Then move one to metro. Fun fun, joy joy!
After almost 10 minutes my buddy gets kicked to the other team by the admin. chavo211 or one of his 12 year old friends.
We thought it was because he wanted him on his team as we were close to a 100 ticked lead.
When checking the server stats, it appeared that he kicked him to the other team. :-/
So I switch teams soon after and decide to hand him his ass and take back the lead.
After we overtake them, my buddy gets banned from the server by this loser for no reason whatsoever besides helping his team win.
So yeah, then I go into asshole mode and look for him and his buddies for the rest of the game and after wiping out 3 of the 4 guys in their squad and tea bagging them to rub it in, as they only seem to care about getting me at this point (and failing miserably), I finally get the kick and ban I was asking for as well.
And yet they still lost by 276 tickets!
With BS like this, this will most likely be the last BF game and possibly DICE game I buy.

I'm sorry for your poor taste. This game would be better for you, I feel.

Conquest Deathmatch? Because that's what that mode is, basically.

So play on different servers? I have been kicked a grand total of 1 time since private servers came about and it was because I was sending non stop hate mail to the admin.Tss, and my friends wonder why I don't want to play this crappy game anymore.

Gurl, who you kiddin? I haven't touched that game in months.
Call of Duty 4 is still the best Call of Duty. Too bad it's filled with hackers to the point of where I can't go play S&D or HQ on it anymore.
The problem is that it's just one of the many things that I really dislike about the game.
The hit detection/server handshake "who shot who in the what and when" is another huge issue for me.
I have not trouble acknowledging when I'm shooting blanks. Heck, it happens a lot of the time. But when I'm 2 meters in front of an enemy that I got the drop on and zoom into his chest with my x4 slug on my SPAS and shoot 2 of my 3-4 shots straight into him before he even responds, yet I drop dead from his quick WTF just happened spray and see in the killcam how this level 6 guy still has 100% health, it starts bugging me.
If that happened once, sure, I could understand, but it's all the damn time.
And again, I'm not talking about the instances where I know that I could very easily have missed him in the heat of the battle.
From the shooters that I have played over the years, this is the first one where such an issue is so blatant.
Started playing Halo to see if I might jump ship and give most of my spare time to 343 in the future, and even in games with a laggy connection, something like this just does not happen.
Heck in BC2 this never happened.
Yet in BF3 it feels screwed up that it does on a constant basis. :-/
But like I said, it's just a part of the problem I have with the game.
The obvious money grab it has turned and the catering to a new kind of player, certainly doesn't help.
Nor do the majority of maps, which are pretty terrible.

i dunno man... sometimes, like tonight, even Metro CQ doesn't fill a server and all the bookmarked servers are empty and you just have to first find a server with a non-insane ticket count and map rotation and then play on some random server and hope the admins are either not there or are not ridiculous.
in other news, i got a party chat request from someone on the opposing team and it was 2 dudes who couldn't have been more than 12 years old that were telling me how spawn camping and mining the russian base on kharg was bad and how the admin was gonna ban me and how if i got banned from too many servers i would get banned from the game... i was like "did you not read the server rules? it says 'anything goes' and even if i did get banned, whatever..." i guess they didn't know the admin or maybe he didn't like them either, because he left after that game and didn't ban anyone.

I wish they were proxy based.
No, I wish they were infinite set like launch. ;__;
I really should just buy a server. (No, I shouldn't. Because the reality is it'd sit empty like Dream's server) Because that's the thing that I hate about the rent-a-server update. It's nearly impossible to find 100% pro-mode 24/7 servers with non-shit (see: no Metro) maps in the rotation. :/

Why don't you just edit my server?
Someone remind me to get on and renew it
*returns to working/studying*
Man, the game is feeling strange. It's kinda laggy, slow...it's not unplayable but it's definitely affecting me.
I shot a guy a slip second before him but his shots hit me first! He was at 5 meters max. I saw no muzzle flash, there was no one around us...
I'm getting that ever since I started playing again yesterday.
Anyone experiencing slow, kinda laggy servers on PS3???

You have admin rights, do you not?
I sealed away the game, I can't even check right now
edit:
Anyone want a LBP Karting beta key? I'm not going to be able to use it while I'm on Haitus mode.
Serious takers only.

if you're an admin, you can do everything except add/remove/kick/ban admins and the owner and renew the server.
you can set/change/tweak all the playlists and settings.
I honestly don't know where to go for admin shit. :3
Also I'll take that key if you still have it. I want to see if they fixed the shit that MNR didn't because I <3 Sackboy.
