Battlefield 3 PC Community Meetup
- Thread starter Anton Sugar
- Start date
It's not even midnight and no one is on the server. Well, I say no one, but what I mean is that 64 randoms are on the GAF server
.
Son, I am disappoint.
Maybe a few GAF, but ones that somehow didn't get on my nearly 100 person friend list
Son, I am disappoint.
Also a bit relieved. I'm tired as hell, but I probably would have got sucked into at least a couple hours of BF3.

Played for 6-7 hours Friday, but had to volunteer all day yesterday and ran errands today. Might be up for some a bit later tonight, working on this video now.

only 8 players?
Got'Damn, it's not even midnight and everyone is gone from the server again. I vote that we re-name it "Battlefield 3 |OT| Be Advised, It's My Bedtime" or something similarly snarky and condescending.
Honestly, I think people just don't close battlelog when they go to sleep. There are always a ton of people "online" but almost none of them in a game.

Liking a lot of this footage we got the other night. Lots of good things shown:
-CITV/guided shell
-Javelin/SOFLAM usage
-MAV for team assistance
-Lots of team coordination
You also get to see lots of Javelin and Javelin + SOFLAM bugs as well, and a good number of "killed behind cover" deaths.
Most of all, the vids really show how an above average, but not great, player (myself) can consistently top the scoreboards (or be in the ACE squad) through working as a team and taking advantage of teamwork in a given situation.
You get a little of this in the first preview clip I posted, where I take the Forest CP all by "myself" thanks to Spl1nter's MAV and my squad warning me of nearby enemies. Good stuff.

A couple of Mumble related things:
Looks like there's a rough version of Mumble for Dx11. I don't recommend it for new users, not until it's tested more.
There's also a BF3 plugin somewhere (positional audio). I know I'm one of maybe 3 people who liked using it in BC2, but I thought I'd mention that. I guess once it's tested more it'll get pushed out to the rest of us?
And somewhat unrelated, but Project Reality just updated their Mumble client, and it's pretty cool.

64 players is always going to be a challenge in any game.
It's a bit of a pain that we have to "seed" the server, but it usually works. I think weekdays are going to be quite quiet now that the launch hype is over, though.

I actually finished editing out the "crap" yesterday and I think I'm going to make a few shorter (5-10 min) videos per map, showing us working as a team, etc. Got them separated out into the individual maps, just got export and upload, which I'll do tonight.

I'll be down for an hour or two of playing tonight, if anyone wants to join.
The problem is that this holiday season is PACKED with good releases. BF3, MW3, Skyrim, Saint's Row 3, UC3, Skyward Sword, etc. Combined with the fact that playing in pubs just isn't as fun as playing with friends (which requires coordination), it's generally harder to get everyone together.
No need to despair.

I, admittedly, haven't played in 3 days - and assassin's creed will be here tomorrow D:
The reason, though, is that I've just been massively busy with my book release. I get off work, and then just work on THAT for another 5 or 6 hours. It's exhausting, but fun.
I didn't get into a game with everyone all weekend. By the time I rolled in pre-midnight central, everyone was already asleep lol.
I'm down for tonight around 10pm central. Hopefully everyone isn't asleep by then.

Skyrim has also been draining my time. This is a hell of a year for RPG's between Skyrim and Dark Souls

I'll be up for a game tonight if it's before, say, midnight GMT.
Gotta get up for uni at 6am so I can't be playing til 4am like on the weekend.

Yeah, nowadays I mostly play on other servers. Not because I don't have love for the GAF server, but because it's empty! I still play most every night except the weekends.

Really need to play this some more but other games are taking all my time. Think I'll just wait for Back to Karkand before getting back into it.
