So they can clearly tell when you're indoors, as the spawn beacon spawns differently whether you're inside or out. I'd rather they would adjust the flashlights effect on the sane basis. Not perfect but much better than current.

Didn't expect much... and yeah chat support blows. This is the awesome piece of advice he gave me.

Have you tried playing in windowed mode/ what sort of video card are you using? I had similar issues in the beta and I just switched over to playing in windowed mode and it cleared up the issues.Mr_eX said:

Yeah, Bazaar was looking prettier than usual today for some reason. Probably because I hadn't played for a while.Mizzou Gaming said:
Isn't it only that one building by the market though? That's the only one I've ever seen it in.

Indeed. I actually think it does add value to the game. Aside from flashbangs , being able to mess with your opponents vision so directly is something mostly unexplored in fps. I think BF does this quite well, not only with the flash lights but also with the sun and the suppression effects. It kind of adds a new dimension to the game-play.

Conquest vs. Conquest Large, it's in the server filters. Some servers play the non-large versions with more than 32 players, too.Deadly said:
So, we're having an interesting discussion in the console thread and I figured I'd drag it out here to be heated and have a debate.
The question I'm going to pose to people (and I'd prefer people that spent 500+ hours and got max rank in BC2 for honest answers) is With total destruction "nerfed" in a sense in BF3 for balance reasons. How would you, if you were rebalancing the sandbox for modes rebalance the game for total destruction?
There are people that are disappointed you can't level buildings anymore. And I'm one of them, but DICE gave the reason as "we needed to shift balance from total wasteland that shuts down attack/defense depending on who is doing the damage" and I agree with them. In Rush it was really apparent. In Conquest it was also apparent where people were jumping into buildings and camping there to get kills/defend flags. While that's fun, it becomes old after a bit and not really fun for the people that have to flank and jump/duck/prone through rubble to shoot you to get you of the building.
So yeah: Rebalance the Battlefield sandbox for destruction of total leveling to where it isn't too powerful. How would you do it PC/generalGAF?

Did you check your email? They email you the code, they even sent me an extra for good measures.
Veritas_ said:Not sure, but it would be awesome if there was some bug going on where every map was playing the 32 player version instead of the proper 64, then Dice just flips a switch and everything is fixed.
If that's what you want than just play the large conquest maps on servers with 32 players. Same thing.

When you lose it's usually because your team sucks ass. I absolutely love the games, even when I lose, when the enemy has like 2 tickets left or something similar. It's like, "Fuck, man. That was an intense fight!"
But, when it's like... the enemy team has 150 tickets left? Yeah, fuck that. I bail on those servers pretty quick.

That's how I maxed out tanks today. Operation Firestorm on conquest large has a crap ton of tanks, and they respawn almost immediately - so it's just non-stop tank warfare.

For someone who used to constantly play Rush in BC2, I agree. First thing I did there was go into a tank and destroy the structures so no attacker could hide in them. Cold War's first MCOMs was easily exploitable with this. Same with Arica Harbor's second base.
I do want more destruction, but I also get where DICE is coming from. It would be extremely hard to plant an MCOM as attackers if the map was barren of any cover.
It's also going to be hard for anyone who sees a vehicle without it being instant death.
Maybe add more destruction to buildings but not the ones near MCOMs or Flags?
It's pretty hard to sustain that balance of realism and fun without angering people. Not to mention those who complain about it just because they want to level every building in the game.

See that's the thing. I want to make my W/L ratio 4:1. It's hovering around the 3.6:1 mark right now, but randoms are pretty much shit at this game.
I alright with losing, but I don't want getting blown out. If we lose by 20 tickets or something, that's alright - but not 150 or more. That means no one was going after shit. Same with Rush. It's such a pain to get people to attack. What with them preserving their K/D like it matters.

So I've been playing on 360 all week. My 3 buddies at work got the game for PS3 so I figured I'd double dip. Tonight was my first night playing on PS3 and holy shit what a difference. The community sucks ass. My teammates were all -camping from a mile away and not moving to take a flag when the event had all 3 tags taken. No one spotted, no one revived, no one laid ammo. Just fucking awful and incredibly annoying.
1stStrike said:
Kharg Island is weird like that too. Usually when I roll the tank and get blown up there's a new one spawning with me immediately.
I'm really starting to enjoy Kharg. I only wish people would put down SOFLAMs more often, they would be ideal for a map like Kharg.

http://getsatisfaction.com/battlefield3/topics/color_blindness_mode
you see:
this should be a easy fix and it would help me and a lot of others very much.
its blue & green (team / squad) and orangey red (enemy) in game,
i see yellow, and gold/orange, and yellow/yellow in that pic?
im partially colorblind tho (i can pass like 5/6 of the online tests, and the one i have issues with i sorta can connect the dots to see the number).
EDIT: OHHH i get it green/red colorblindness, yeah that stinks, what do colorblind modes usually do, let you select different colors?
Thanks. I'll give this baby a try!Dragnet said:Hide somewhere then select it like any other gadget, you get to fly it around with limitless range it seems, spotting and distracting dudes. With a bit of practice you can roadkill enemies with it too, so fun to roadkill campers

So it is just the UAV from BC2?
i dont mind losing in this game. sure, i miss out on 500 points, but that 500 doesnt contribute directly to any specific class or vehicle, and i usually get (in all servers except the gaf server) 3-5k points before ribbons anyways, so its not a large %.
i seem to remember hating losing in modern warefare1/cod4 much more. were the bonuses for winning in those games larger, anyone know?

SapientWolf said:
A neat idea, but I don't see how "repairing structures" would fit into BF's current sandbox of destruction and it would kinda turn it more into Red Faction than Battlefield. But still a good idea.

I like this more than Heavy Metal. It's a much better map.

Roll with me, equip guided shell on your tank, and I'll laser targets for you from the 3rd seat. The tank driver doesn't even need to have it unlocked - I can just get into the 3rd seat in anyone's tank and start lasering targets for them
We were on air rape patrol a few hours ago taking out helicopters, and even a jet, with guided shell. It's hilarious on a jet - the shell goes forever and you're like -
"Oh fuck, it missed."
*A few seconds later the jet explodes and points start rolling in*
I was laughing my ass off. Next time I hook up with someone I'm gonna FRAPS it.

Yeah, we should do that. Soldier name is zulustar and I'm on the GAF server from time to time. If you see me there, let me know and we'll make peoples lives a living hell.

Jesus the hyperbole over the tact lights is insane, if people find them so useful, just use them yourselves.....
Personally, I prefer ways to make myself less conspicuous on the map so the last thing I'll equip is the Tact light on my main gun over a supressor. I've killed loads of people with laser/lights as you just shoot at the light, its not hard. I roll with the tact light on my secondary as there's a good chance I'll be in close quarters, but any other scenario and its useless IMO.
I hope more people permanently equip them, it'll make my life much easier.
