I think I'll get the G3A3 this week, should be nice. In BC2 I rocked so hard as a G3 wielding combat recon...on PS3. I hope for DICE (and myself) that it's as good as people on youtube say, I haven't seen one in the wild, I think.
PC is sometimes still a brave new world. People are just so agile and good shots. The whole game is played faster, more brutal.
After grinding co-op I think I'll go Rush exclusive for a time, I barely touched it so far. Nothing compares to rushing, arming and defending a set m-com, IMO. Getting those two m-coms on Demavand (my only ones since the beta, lol) was way more adrenaline pumping than everything I experienced in CQ. Losing Rush is much more frustrating, though, and you're like a headless chicken until you know where you should be, where you can be hit from etc. And from the limited time I spent on Rush, I've never seen attackers win. Put m-coms back in collapsible buildings or something equally stupid, please.

Congratulations on finding the ' button! Suddenly your posts are completely normal and good. I wanted to say something every time you used ´ instead but it appears you solved it yourself.Binabik15 said:
On topic, why is it that the 3.4* scope is the LAST unlock for Recon semi-automatics, and the FIRST unlock for the M249, much earlier in Support's tree, which starts off with a bipod and gets flash suppressor as its second unlock? I don't think I'll ever play Recon again except for MAV trolling.

I'm on my phone, it only shows ' since the French accents are already on the letters when you keep pressing them.
I didn't even realise there was a difference or that there's an apostrophe on my keyboard. Nobody ever said anything, not even teachers. I guess even in German I'd have to use the apostrophe sign for conractions. Weird, I'll look into German online press releases and see wha they're doing. Handwriting has them look identical, anyway.

Whilst I can understand it from a realism point of view, I don't understand why people are complaining about the torch light indoors vs outdoors from a balance point of view. What's it got to do with balance?

They die to a person with the flashlight with the power of the sun, they feel angry and cheated.
Though don't really see it as an issue, as at least on the PC, rarely see anyone using flashlights anymore hardly. But at least it's getting toned down, because it really was an absurd looking light effect

1. Realism
2. When you see someone from the side that has Tac Light on, there is barely any indicators, all I have seen is some occasional blinking. Come on that shit blinds you like 10 suns from just a couple of meters away (on an outside map with day light) but when someone runs sideways you see nothing of that. It just has not enough disadvantages.
3. No counter measure! Give me some super sun glasses or whatever ... honestly IRNV is faaar less of a problem since it has its own disadvantages and you work against it buy choosing the right clothes.

"Not minding" the flashlight doesn't excuse how idiotic it's outdoor implementation is. I'm 100% okay with it indoors and don't bitch about it at all in that regard--it's the outdoor use that brings about facepalm time.

I think they just need to tweak its area of effect. There's no point in making something that only works indoors because most of the fighting takes place outside.Anton Sugar said:

I wouldn't even mind it working outdoors, just not to the extent it does now.
Wish I knew more about programming or what have you. Your vision already adjust based on whether you're looking at a bright light or dark space/is based on HDR--I wish your eyes would actually "adjust" to the flashlight by the same rule.

There are a lot of quality games out right now.
GAF is a fickle beast, as well. PC BC2 game dwindled to about 20 consistent peeps, usually for weekend games.

Share my knowledge, GAF.
Kaltagesta said:
Person with Tact Light can see the person they're shooting at while the person without a tactical light can't. Why do you think if you pack a tactical light and turn it on that the person stops shooting and awaits their death? It turns into "spray and pray" and 9/10 of the time you lose that spray and pray because you CAN'T FUCKING SEE WHERE THE FUCK THEY ARE BECAUSE YOU'RE BLIND. It isn't "skillful" and it sure as fuck isn't balanced in the gameplay perspective. It may be "realistic" to be blind, but there is no fucking way you're going to be COMPLETELY blind against a person that has a flashlight in a firefight unless they're all up in your face within 3 feet.

In the dark, it is very realistic indeed. Taclights are incredibly powerful. It's outdoors in where it's overdone and silly.
The attachment just feels pointless though in a game like this when there aren't a bunch of night maps.

PS3 for now. Too lazy to learn KB/M I guess, and it keeps crashing during the campaign. I got tired of tinkering with the G 13, and was getting this weird stuttering with mouse movement. Finally got fed up after two weeks of not really playing the game and got the version I know I can have fun with out of the box.
It is a shame considering my pc, but I just wanted to enjoy the game instead of getting raped all day because my KB skills suck. What about you?
BTW, what drivers are Nvidia folks using? 580 here.

Great vid: PTFO on Tehran Rush.

I like the G13 a lot, I still get the keys mixed up a lot, but it's getting better. My aim with the mouse isn't that great, but the graphics keep me coming back. I haven't had that many problems, the biggest issue I had was that the game was running at a much lower resolution than it was saying. I messed with my desktop themes and it's now running in 1080p on ultra and locked at 60fps no matter what, it's glorious.
Im using the new Beta drivers, haven't had many crashes.
You'd be surprised how often stuff like that happens. I had an enemy throw an ammo crate at me as I was lying prone in the bush, hiding from the LAV he just exited. It's also very easy to just run and "hide" amongst an enemy team if they are all bunched together, 64 player Metro conquest is good for this. Got behind a squad and unleashed hell with my PDW-R + extended magazine.TheSeks said:

Sorry if this has already been posted, but using the MAV as a little elevator to get to interesting places:

c'mon son, you know in your heart they aren't going to make it w9ork differently indoors and outdoors!Anton Sugar said:
well, the counter to mortars is counter-mortars, and it's dirt easy to throw your ammo box, lay your mortar, wait, see their icon pop up, drop a mortar on their head, back out and keep it moving. while with the flashlight, it just means if you counter-flashlight pick, you're both just blind.iam220 said:

I really hate the bugs and niggles the game still has. Chief offenders are the VOIP and squad system being borked. Makes playing as a SQUAD seem senseless. It got so bad that we can't even hear each other in-game.
I really hope they put a patch out soon. If not, some players might jump to Halo, MW3, etc. because of frustration. I got a few friends to buy BF3 but they're newbies to the genre/franchise and need all the help they can get. How on earth can we help them if VOIP isn't working?
More maps, unlockables, Battlecorder and those damn bugs being squashed is about all I need for the game, to be honest.
I also think I played with a couple of boosters. Two guys who were at level 45 - 10 stars and 45 -7 stars, but they sucked - HARD!. In three games, they always managed to be near the bottom of the scoreboard and when we went head to head, they didn't even do any significant damage. Just felt like they weren't even average players. Boosters? First thing that popped to my head.

I get the same from time to time. I'm almost certain it has nothing to do with the video card but with the game itself.
