yep, im fairly certain this is what it is, a flickering between two textures. i was confused cause it seemed as if they textured the entire building, then individually textured a pillar texture on top on the one piece of geometry, and the two were fighting for precedence... with 8-12x scopes
it also seems to happen with lighting on thinner things.. the telephone wires, edges of bushes and trees.. just on the edges.. a fast 30 fps flicker on whether the lighting/shadow is there or not.
any way to address this on my end? all my setting are at low (computer)

Well, it also has to do with how things go on pub servers.
In an ideal environment the recon soldier would be placed forward near the enemy base, and he would call out/spot their vehicles and troops as they depart. He would use the SOFLAM to laze targets. Or he would ride the skid of a Little Bird as it orbits a target in order to spot and provide sniper cover while the assault guys move in. And the attack helicopter would orbit higher up to cover them both. And the jet would be the next layer.
It's mostly a shit show on pub servers. But when the above scenario actually starts to play out, it makes your eyes go wide as to how cool BF3 can be.
You know what would be awesome, would be an "HVT" game mode, where it is the job of one team to recon the map, find the location of a high value target, and then send in a team to capture and extract him back to their base. And it's the other team's job to protect the target. I think that would potentially help things play out a little better as it gives everyone more of a solid role. The recon guys have to go out and do their thing, in order to find what building the target is in. Support has to be there for ammo, assault has to do the medic thing, etc. It forces some organization.

When people complain, can they say what version they are complaiming about? I am not getting any of the problems people are talking about.

Pretty much with all bugs, glitches, and horrible imbalanced OP weapons/perks, then consider that you had 3 different teams all work on this together it doesn't bode well for it. If they pulled it off that's a testament to their skills and efforts, but regardless, I'll stick to the depth that BF has in it's different style of play. I'll gamefly MW3 to check it out for a couple days, but that's about it. Once again, two totally different styles of games.

Right, three different dev teams doing what one team did previously. Whatever. Easy to say what something will be when it isn't out.

Just gotta enjoy sniping, man. There's also the fact that I'm better than 90% of the Recon players on the other team in my average game, so it's fun counter-sniping them over and over, especially when they run back to the exact same spot and don't realize I only moved 10 feet to the left until my bullet is in their face again.
As far as useful things to do...
-Spot!
-MAV is underrated, IMO. If you're holding a point/guarding an MCOM, the all-seeing eye of the MAV is a huge advantage.
-SOFLAM + Javelin if you can find an Engy who will play along.
If you're just trying to level it up, consider using an SMG like the UMP instead of a sniper rifle.
By far the best game I've had, points-wise.
I gave an attack/defend order on B that didn't change for the whole game, and between that and my ammo crates (7 resupply ribbons), I don't think there was a time where something wasn't scrolling by on my points feed.

I can't find the RPK. It isn't in my loadout list anymore!

I think it's worse to be a attack chopper gunner with a shitty pilot. Earlier today I was the gunner in one on Kharg...dude flies low, straight toward the back of the US spawn where they have two tanks that just rip us apart.
Anton_Sugar: WTF
Dude: Hey sry just wanted to practice

Ya the people who are just learning drop real quick and you can normally tell right away if there good or not. I just dont know what some people think when im lining them up with another chopper or were attacking the jets and they just sit there. Everyone seems to think its only good for ground troops.

Is there any difference between the 3 bolt action sniper rifles?
I've primarily used the SV-98 and have gotten pretty comfortable with it. I've tried the M40 and the M98 and I don't really feel any difference but I'm definitely not as good with them. Is there any real benefit from using one over the other?

I can do pretty much everything except hovering. I always clip something and then faceplant. Kind of embarrassing to be honest.Xux said:
There is nothing I hate more than getting stomped, and that's basically been everything that's happened today. No one's doing their role in support of others. I can't get a SOFLAM to save my life. Hell, I don't really even like stomping the other team. I DO however, enjoy a good game that goes down to the wire. This shit is just not something I can deal with. Maybe it'll be better tomorrow...

Does the enemy see a red dot if you have the RDS equipped? Seems counterintuitive to have said attachment if you're using a silencer and trying to be sneaky as well.

So that red laser I see sometimes is actually the laser attachment, I presume?
So dropping my video settings from high to medium fixed my crashing is it seems. *crosses fingers* Since the game was running just find outside of the crashing I didn't try it before. I guess I should have before becoming annoyed but still ugh. The increase FPS is a lot better though. Did a few matches with no issues at all. Found out something interesting though. I don't notice the difference between medium and high settings. With things moving so fast it doesn't really matter if there is some detail missing. I thought for a second though I crashed but it was the Gaf server that crashed instead.

Well, turning on Vsync and turning OFF raw mouse seems to HELP... but it certainly isn't gone.
Now sometimes BF just seems to stop accepting input from my mouse alltogether, and it takes a moment for it to come back and allow me to look around again.
Wow, so I tried to turn Raw Mouse back on with Vsync on... and holy shit, mouse lag like in that video I linked before exactly. Couldn't look around for shit.
Vsync on and Raw mouse off make it semi-playable, but its still hard as shit to aim, and sometimes it just STOPS. fml.

Not sure if posted already, but Gamespot has two new videos showcasing the Back to Karkand expansion. Person playing is kinda crappy though.

Also, am I the only one NOT getting CoD this year? I was on the fence about it, but the fact that I barely played Black Ops makes me think I'm doing the right thing. I dunno, seems like the term "redundancy" keeps popping back into my head whenever I think of CoD and TDM gameplay.
Not bashing, but saying what I feel.

Not getting it this year. Now that BF3 is running fine I'm happy. Team Deathmatch in BF3 isn't to bad if I have that desire. I largely started playing Domination in CoD:BO and Conquest is a better for that style of play anyway. I'm just curious as to what the Wii verison of MW3 looks like but BF3 should keep my FPS desire satisfied for some time to come. Especailly since I get the first expansion pack free.

I was on the fence about it and ultimately decided against buying it, at least for now. Strangely, I guess, what pushed me over was the fact the game wouldn't be unlocking until 10 AM. Also didn't help that the gameplay videos I saw didn't look all that appealing.
