You could build a system with a 2600k and a 580 for $750? Anyway I had a friend help me build it at first, then had a professional tear it down and rebuild it.

It's $650 for the 580 and 2600k so you probably cant build a computer with those specs for $750 but you definitely don't need 1500 bucks to build a awesome system. Oh and the "Professional" part is hilarious.

 

[The Faceless Master]

2500k (same CPU, pretty much) and a 580? Absolutely. Unless you are starting completely and entirely from scratch or have an SSD, in which case it would be closer to $1000 than it would $750.

i could bake a cake for $1 if i didn't have to buy all the ingredients.

Where are you buying from that sells a 580 sub $400 (not a barn burning sale like MicroCenter had a monthish ago)? 2600k is 280ish new at the cheapest (excluding sales).

 

[Jtrizzy]

This was a build from scratch. All I had was the monitor.

yeah, but who's arguing that $1500 isn't high? everyone is saying $500-750 is just a ridiculous statement. i did chuckle at the professional part though...

This guy is amazing

LMFAO!!

 

[mr_nothin]

Ebay.

lol
But even with ebay it must be 1 hell of a mistype in the listing or something!

 

[Tallshortman]

Ebay.

Second hand? Please don't tell me you're advocating buying second hand PC parts...

 

[The Faceless Master]

Ebay.

you can get a used one for $400!

i just checked...

seller listing also says NO RETURNS

Why? the guy builds pc's/does major installs for a living. He did a great job with the cable management and is licensed by nvidia.

How was I advocating anything? I was only showing him that it's possible to find the card under 400 bucks. Whether you should buy from Ebay is another discussion.

Found 7 brand new under 400.

Sure did a great job with all the problems you're having.

I just grabbed this tonight. So pumped. Last copy of LE, so B2K is free!

I hope a lot of 360 BC2 GAF is playing this!

Bahh I hate playing with a team full of cowering pussies

Found 7 brand new under 400.

how is that not advocating, and where are these new cards under $400?

i only saw one for $400 and one for $375, both used.

Even people who have their rig built *correctly* are having problems. It's not something that only ppl with incorrectly built rigs are having.

Microcenter had deals on ocassion this year for the gtx 580s for around $320.

Because I didn't tell anyone to buy it. And the 'buy it now' ones are sold out, but there are ones with bids ending in minutes under 400.

I'm assuming you were just aiming at vehicles at not infantry, correct?

I killed a few infantry but even vehicles my gunner would always get the kill, his machine gun was faster then my rockets

I'd disable them and get a kill/destroy assist, he would get disable assist and kill+destroy

Nice. A good gunner seems almost as hard to find as a good pilot lol.

The sad part is I just unlocked this:

But my gunner friend sucks as a pilot lol

 

[mr_nothin]

I love playing as gunner and taking out the pilot and gunner of another heli w/o destroying/disabling the heli. Aim for the cockpit and they'll be dead in no time.

Oh God, the MAV on Caspian is so good... I just racked up 9 surveillance ribbons in one round.

Btw, anyone else noticing problems with it on Seine? It won't hold its altitude.

 

[Demon Ice]

So is anyone else unable to join or host a CO OP game on PC? It's giving me a "Game got disconnected" error.

Both you and your friend need to forward a shit load of ports. Lemme see if I can find them.

Nice to see competent pilots and drivers, I like piloting a bit more than gunning though. I fell less vulnerable.

That's what she said.

 

[Jim E. Rossler]

I plan on joining you PC guys soon, once I can trade a Skyrim Key for a BF3 key in a few days.

Can't wait to unlock it Support and Recon are my favorite classes so far. Support is just a monster with m249 plus IR scope, Recon are just modern ninjas lol.

Hum that seems to have more then the ones I used.


I opened just the ones posted by me above and it worked. But both of you need to do it, doesn't matter who is the host.

I honestly hated playing recon up until I got the MAV (although I do feel better about the SVD since I decided to start shooting people in the head with it). Now it's pretty fucking glorious. Just hover your MAV over Hilltop and spot the shit out of the enemies. If your team is somewhat decent they'll pick 'em off like... cherries from a cupcake!

Edit: Cool detail, the MAV displays the time on the screen. GMT time sure, but still!

 

[mr_nothin]

So does the MAV do 3D spotting too?

 

[computers putin']

The moment I see a MAV in the air I'm equipping a stinger for the rest of the match just to knock it down

Recon is a cool class though.The gadgets are more helpful then I initially gave them credit for, and rolling with an unscoped bolt action and dropping fools with it is just badass.

 

[Zeppelin]

Not sure... the guys I was talking to while spotting aren't that good with the HUD... I'm sure someone else has the answer though! But I got the feeling that their screens lit up like fucking christmas trees when I spotted a chunk of like 5 dudes occasionally.

Indeed, fuck the scopes. I find anything above the 4x ACOG pretty useless for my playstyle. Also, according to bf3stats.com it seems like the MAV spots counts as spots for the T-UGS too. :|

 

[Anton Sugar]

My co-op worked fine without forwarding ports, both with playing my roommate and my brother across the country.

 

[MNC]

Unlocked EOD, fucking demolished a tank with dat Wall-E. Also some people.

It controls like a fucking camel on a turdslide though jesus

 

[computers putin']

sorry man, it's just to effective to let it roam around in the air unchecked. If you're on my team using the MAV though you're definitely okay in my book.

Yep, I'm not far enough from the action to use of the higher powered scopes. I just gotta be near the front lines

To anybody who records footage off of their consoles: What software are you using and what would be the best software to get to record footage off of the 360?

I cant play regularly on servers with 3d spotting and killcams...sorry
I also like squad leader spawning only and no minimaps.

Makes for such a great experience

Because I didn't tell anyone to buy it. And the 'buy it now' ones are sold out, but there are ones with bids ending in minutes under 400.

and the completed listing for the ones with bids almost all end over $400, and the ones that ended under were red listing aka minimum price not met.

You're looking at completely different listings than I am then. That must suck. But WOW ALL THESE SOLD UNDER 400!

It seems to be a bit better controlling with a gamepad, so you can turn while moving forward. Guess if you feather the analog sticks it doesn't spin out like with keyboard

 

[abuC]

This issue with my resolution is getting on my last nerve, it's displaying out at probably 720p. Sometimes the game starts in 1080p, but I don't have any control over the options in the menu, then when I "fix" it the game looks much blurrier than it did. I've looked it up and a lot of people are having the same issue, but nobody offers up a solution for it.

The game says it's 1080p in the menu, but Im 100% certain it's not because of the fact it looks so much better when I can't control anything in the menu on a 1 to 1.
