Oh, you are doing that two-view thing you were planning. It's a little funky since the quality isn't the same, so it's a bit jarring. I'd also say vert-view instead of the slash-view (so, second image) since it doesn't cut off the one players vehicle view/aiming like it does the first image.

I'm on the left
It's the LAV gunner view you're noticing. But yeah, I'm leaning towards vertical.

Yay or nay?
Or
the straight vertical cut for sure, DEFINITELY NOT the diagonal slice
what we really need is for some more peeps to man up and have a 4 way split screen video
or you could go all out and do split screen when there's action on both screens and Picture-in-Picture when there's action on just one
edit: you can also sightly letterbox both shots to show more footage

Edit: left side
I never left the LAV, so I think this may be better?
I may do that some other time. Requires a bit of more work

ok, just straight vertical split. doing PiP isn't as cool if you don't switch it up to show the action parts from each and yeah, that would take more work.
Picture in Picture definitely looks better and would be "cool"er if you put in the work to show the player having the most action (like you in the LAV doing a bunch of gunning for the moment) in the bigger/main picture. But like you said that requires mad work. So def. go with the vert. slice.
Playing for over 700 hours does that too.

Nobody cares. Non-official servers have made stats absolutely worthless.
Ody, PiP looks dope. If I manage not to ragesell my 360, I may start capping next week or so.

Thanks
I ended up going with the vertical split, but if it doesn't work well then I'll do PiP.
lol
Just take a small break. We hit rough patches every now and then.

I just got BF3 Premium Edition. Any tips? I'm somewhat new to class-based shooters (unless you count Halo Reach and 4 ), so I know I'll get donged on as soon as I start.

good news everyone! the BF1943 servers are fixed!
Now we can play 3 maps again.
When are you going to play with me on that so we can record the maps to show why I hate the BF3 version of Wake?

THANK YOU BABY HEYSOOS
This with Planetside 2 news... it's been a great day
I told you, talk to Bo since he is a colonel 50/whatever the max level in BC2 was in 1943 and if you can get Toda on-board we'd have the four. But we don't need them just to show the maps off. We need them so you "look good" as you told me.

i told you i'm in if you can get 2 more people!
Bo, are you in for some 1943 in the next... oh... month or so?
I'll have to PM Toda/Greenjerk if he doesn't check this thread. *lights the batsignal*
Also Evolved, Dream, Olimpia: Get Toro's Friend Network so I can build my friend network with you three already on my list. I know you own the system so no excuses for giving me five minutes of your time! >_>

I'm in. Rockscar plays 1943 on occasion too.
Well, if you can convince Rock to play with us we could get the maps recorded. I really want to show all three maps off and show the Conquest to show those that haven't played 1943 why I prefer that version of Conquest over BC2/BF3's crappy 3-flag-base-rape-ZZZzz mode.
The Faceless Master

we've had 5 flag Wake for over a year now.
Yes, but 5-flags is not the best part of 1942/1943's Wake:
The "run for the border"
Conquest Assault does not do anything but put a band-aid on that problem.

You're both right.

Hey, that easy mode matches BC1's line of Conquest. Shut your mouth.
The Faceless Master

BC1 had no uncaps.
proper Wake has no uncaps for 1 team.
proper version is halfway there.
1943 has no uncaps as well. The only "non-cap" is the battleship which was the same in 1942.
The Faceless Master
Member
Right. But 1943's is the most similar to BF1942's conquest and in addition both sides have to fight for the flags. Even if there is two "uncaps" you can't base-trap someone because the round is over in 10 seconds like BC1's if all flags are taken and the team that has no flags doesn't get one soon after that point.

I'll play 1943 if you need someone.
Also 1) PS4 confirmed purchase for me 2) My eyes are eternally fucked, but I can still game. Won't be getting back into BF till 4 probably.
Edit: If Sony does the same DRM stuff, I'll go to your house and build you a pc.

If Sony does the same thing, i'm out of the console biz. PC future.
Agreed. I always dread playing that map when it comes up, my least favourite map.
Rock it definitely won't be this weekend unless you're on after like 6PM over here on the East Coast of the US. I have to work this weekend. But next weekend for sure.
Also Wake BF3 < Wake 1943/1942. You guys are talking about the BF3 variant. Play the classic one.

Let's get some games in today, 360bros.

How does sniping work in Battlefield 3? How can I tell whether or not my bullets are hitting?
Gauge distance/Bullet-travel->Fire.
That's about it. You should (but I can't) see a "tracer" of the round/shot you did to gauge how close/far you were to the target.
Problem is the tracer disappears which certainly doesn't help me at all in sniping, but you get a "feel" for it later.
It isn't like Halo where the sniper is hit-scan.

How do I fly a helicopter in this game? I always end up turning too far and crashing.
EDIT: I figured out how not to crash, but I still suck. And whenever I search for a game in Fire from the Sky, I always get people worse than I am. D:

Er-...Bad insall? Reinstall?
Otherwise you're not finding servers that aren't playing them. Which really shouldn't be an issue as those three (besides Mehtro) are the most popular maps in the game in terms of server rotation.
Edit: OH and check your server filter settings before you reinstall, DICE made some server settings reset and make the last expansion ONLY maps be selected. So make sure your server filters are set to what you want.
