My GT is my GAF name, and.. yeah, Ringworld it is!
I managed to get online again when you were playing with Catpee, but a few minutes later I crashed again...
If I'm lucky I can play 1 or 2 games before I'll get disconnected.
I'll call my ISP tomorrow and see if there is anything they can do as I'm pretty sure the problem is not on my end. Hopefully we'll be able to play tomorrow!

We had a bunch of close games tonight but we managed to win all of them (well, except for the last one in Karkand). The other team was probably so pissed, they were so close to winning many times but props to them for hanging out for most of the games.
Lag tonight was pretty bad, I was getting pretty much killed by one shot from any weapon.

I could cry everytime I think about how awesome this game could be if it just got those little fixes. It's really 55% awesome and 45% "f**k this sh*t!!!1"..

Small things like the Bipod only working whenever the game feels like it are so annoying.

Definitely. When the game works, it's great. But when you get stuck on invisible walls, unable to vault over walls and railings properly and all the other stupid stuff then yes it really brings the experience down.
Just playing with friends can be a nightmare too. The worst implementation of parties I've seen in an XBL game. If I go in with friends maybe it's because, you know, I want to play WITH them instead of being split up.
And the bipod... I'm pretty sure I can count on one hand the number of times that's actually worked.
I never use it anymore, I've had it "work" while standing up, allowing me to run around with it but limiting my turn ratio and field of view to what it's like as if I'm prone with one deployed.
Couldn't agree more. I love this game but there are certain things that piss me the fuck off about it.

Oh come on...
The thing doesn't deploy half the time on any surface or object. And once you get it to deploy it often retracts again while you're zoomed in which results in your reticule going ape-shit. This is especially annoying while sniping. It should have been deployable with the press of a button.
As i said, it works fine for me. Shitty controller does make it hard to use though, my controllers' both sticks have tendency to "stick" to one direction very slightly (you know, eg you turn constantly to right etc) which makes deploying it impossible. But that's due to shitty controller.
And whenever i'm prone it deploys when i do not want to deploy it...
But otherwise, it works fine for me. And i am serious.

wait ... wat
I try to shoot up while prone (say, Karkand, B, people are on the roof and i'm in the empty well in the square): the fucking thing deployed.

Hey everyone, please add me to your xblive friends so I can play with you. My gamer tag is: Rusty Frozbite.
yeah, that was it, you were right.
Still I didn't find any of his posts offensive enough to warrant a ban...
I wonder what his ban message was.
But enough of this, I don't want to be banned myself.
Lol! I'm really enjoying OP. Metro Conquest. Grand Bazaar too (another map I despise in Rush). It's a nice change of pace from the big vehicle intensive maps.
And I'm finding really refreshing playing those Rush rounds. If there's no other gaffers playing though I'll stick to Conquest.
I wish.
I felt like I was firing a pea shooter during that last match on Metro. So many times I was firing first and still dying or it felt like I had to empty half the clip of the M16A3 to kill someone. Today was nothing but frustration for me, I couldn't get anything going.
Hunting did you guys lose op metro when I was on the other team? I wasnt paying attention and I thought we lost. But when I checked on battlelog it said we won.
Yeah, we lost. For a while it looked we were about to turn the match but it was not to be.
I must of not been paying attention than. Anyways good games with you guys earlier.
F2000 > Shotguns, went 55-10 the other night on Metro against a team with more then half of the players using them.
I used M320's though, can't let them get to close to me

Soften them up with a M320 and slam dunk a nade!
Yea we lost. I thought we might have had you guys when we finally captured all three base but that only lasted for a few seconds before we got torn apart again.
Yea, same.
Shotguns are fantastic in the sense that you don't need to aim much when you have the USAS12 with frag rounds + once the suppression effect kicks in, it's easy to wipe out everyone. F2K/Famas are good when you aim and reaction are high. For me anyay.

USAS12+Extended Mag+Frag rounds is just annoying as its way off balance compared to any other gun. From medium to short range, you lose in a straight up firefight without frag rounds.
The game designer who chose to put Frag rounds in the game should be fired. It's my only real complaint about the guns in BF3. Previous Battlefields didn't have a god-gun like that. You don't even need to aim with it, just shoot in the general direction of enemies and they will die from splash damage.
If the frags would be replacing the Extended Mag, and maybe only be available as a slow-reload option then maybe. Like in the DAO-12, it takes forever to reload that gun. There is no real downside to choosing Frags is there?
My suggestion would be to replace the frag rounds with slug rounds in the game alltogether.

the only downside to frag rounds is you might kill yourself with the splash damage.
The ironsights are ridiculously bad, but once you get any other sight or scope, its a beast.
Shit needs to get nerfed. Didn't stand a chance against it no matter what I was using this morning.
I disagree. Its beast in close range, but I rarely get killed by it at further ranges. I feel like people overreact to the FAMAS here. I don't really use it, I just don't think its that big of a deal.
Weren't we supposed to get a map pack announcement this week?
Caspian Border
Yeah we should of won that game. We prolly should of just capped 2 bases and camped out (hold) the bases to prolong the game.
I hate the famas, the reload is sooooooooo damn slow, unless you creep around corners while ADS then bail out to reload. M16A3 or F2000 all the way!

It would have still been very hard that way. They had a good chopper pilot that was causing havoc. IMO we just needed one more gaffer to seal the deal but what I still can't understand is the fact that the game went on for 20+ minutes and we didn't get a SINGLE 'new' person.

Hmmm, the FAMAS has been my go to assault rifle since I have unlocked it. I never have thought the reload time is slow or takes too long. I think it is more that the mag empties quicker than it takes to reload and using the FAMAS as it is meant to be used (full auto), you will find yourself reloading quite a bit.
FAMAS and G36C are my weapons of choice. Suppressors and foregrips for both of them, with Holo sights.
On the smaller maps i like to get all up in the enemies face, and with the M16A3 having i think the fastest reload, and its accurate, helps me out more then an assault rifle that takes as long as a LMG to reload. Not to interested in being the laser sight hip fire hero lol.
Because of it's ROF. That's the main thing with balance in BF3: ROF wins. I seriously SERIOUSLY dunno who at DICE thought "let's leave high ROF damage the same as slower firing guns. Surely that isn't a bad idea! *goes to lunch*" but I want to smack the shit out of them.
Also 1.03 fixes VoIP but not input lag. GG DICE. :|
I started playing in an old 720p and I swear the input lag was gone. I even asked Olimpia if anything had changed since the last patch. I was moving and turning almost too fast.
It's funny how the lag feeling isn't prevalent with everyone. I definitely felt the lag on my 1080 set, but with this older one it's barely noticeable.
It's almost too bad I'm getting back to the newer set in a couple weeks.
Servers never refill. Helicopters being repaired by two engineers to where you can't take them down.
Ah, yes, now I remember why I haven't touched the game in two weeks: The unbalanced mess it has on it's hands when it comes to gun fire rate/damage + vehicles and engineers.
