I dont think AMD drivers can kill PSUs?

Software can not kill actually hardware short of some crazy shit that makes it overheat somehow but that's not even really plausible in the "real world" either (as machines generally all have at least adequate cooling for extended heavy loads).

I don't know how the hell I missed that whole thread on 12.1; guess I'll revert.

And yeah don't have to worry about me being too drunk to rain laser-guided death on the opposing team. Been there; no longer do that...

Then I might get a .50 K/D. Conquest, Rush, CO-OP forget about it:eek:

I don't know what the deal is, I'm getting the best visual quality and stable performance to date using the 12.1 drivers with 11.12 Cap 3. I mean, things are buttery smooth, I couldn't be happier. I always, however, use the Erocker method to install new drivers.

I do also. However I think the issue is with SOME of the 5xxx series not the 6xxx series. Also 12.1 drivers were great for BF3. My issue was OpenGL apps.

I'm thinking some of these guys didnt update the south bridge drivers.

Well Im crashing at random times now, sometimes just the game app sometimes a full on reboot. I can't say for sure it's the GPU drivers at this point though. And it's not constant either.

Yeah let me know dude. I am curious if you can run 4X MSAA (default on Ultra preset but can tweak all that individually, of course). I actually want two 560s but can't afford both right now (even with selling my 6850s). Definitely at least 1280MB RAM and will probably go for 2GB cards.

cool perfoverlay GPU min max average plus just "how it feels".

On Metro and such 2X is plenty at 1080P+ but not on maps like Caspian looking in the distance. Jaggy mess. Using Post sucks in it's own way tho IMO.

Wrigleyvillain

I know. But I have my first official SLI board so...

Will also save me like $100 in the beginning on the first card. Certainly haven't ruled out 570, especially a good used one.

1.5GB is probably about perfect for my needs too so I wish that more cards besides just GTX 580 came with this capacity.

I run Ultra preset (includes 4MSAA) FOV on max, Vsync on with my GTX570 and get between 45-60 on B2K and between 50 and 60 on older maps with occasional dips. The trick is I'm on 22" 1680x1050

Yeah but your res. is more CPU bound then mine. Upping my CPU won't make much of a difference at higher res. As for the AA well.... I have built in AA. I just take off my glasses.

I changed my glasses recently so I can see all those cheap textures here and there (look in the shallow water on the beach on Wake Island and you'll see what I mean) - don't get me wrong the game overall looks fantastic - I don't know how much that OC brings never tested without but I guess it helps on 64 players large maps.

Well Flexon is just the original brand. When you go in ask for frames made out of memory medal. Flexon was the first brand to have it so they call all frames made out of metal "Flexons". Trust me man they may cost a lil' more but they will last you forever if you take care of them.

In the head. Can take 3 shots with most
rifles if you hit other then the head. The
unlocks have some better rifles from what
my son says. Straight pull bolt makes it a lot
easier too when you unlock it. You don't pull
up from the scope to reload.

Won't get them for about 10 days. They send them off to get the lenses. The insurance bill is $800.

Yeah I have over 500 kills with the A-91. The L85 is good too. The kills I'm trying to get are with the Emplaced weapons.
Tow missiles and those emplaced Anti-Aircraft guns. Only need 2. 30 more minutes on one I get a Medal too and those

Yeah I like those vehicles, but they don't count as emplacement weapons. Only the ground mounted tows and those ground station anti air craft. I don't think they have .50 cals mounted anywhere like they did in BFBC2. Those were easy to get emplacement kills with. I think what I will do tonight is jump in the one's at the ends of the carriers on Canals or Karg Island. I have to have another 30 minutes in them for that medal anyway maybe I'll get lucky and kill a couple pilots. They don't work as well as they did when this first came out. They must of tweaked it.

Brandon test 4X MSAA for me please. Can turn down Shadows and HBAO off if it turns out you need to. Numbers are cool but more than anything I'd just like to know how it feels and if it's really playable over a few rounds. 4X for me would seem to be OK in the beginning and here and there but got serious, obvious fps tanks with a lot of action going down and such. You will know.

Hah, cool, "Rock Island Armory" is likely named in honor of this place (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Island_Arsenal). My dad and his wife have a farmhouse out near there. Neat country by the River, especially these days as so many bald eagles are back.

Update: Well sonofabitch my Dad never mentioned there are almost 2000 Confederate soldiers buried there as it was a Civil War prison camp. If he didn't know that it will blow my mind...or more like I'll blow his. Gotta go see that for sure (if possible which maybe it isn't)...

Yeah I like those vehicles, but they don't count as emplacement weapons. Only the ground mounted tows and those ground station anti air craft. I don't think they have .50 cals mounted anywhere like they did in BFBC2. Those were easy to get emplacement kills with. I think what I will do tonight is jump in the one's at the ends of the carriers on Canals or Karg Island. I have to have another 30 minutes in them for that medal anyway maybe I'll get lucky and kill a couple pilots. They don't work as well as they did when this first came out. They must of tweaked it.
Thanks Though !

yeah the ones at the end of Karg island are crap, i feel like theyre wayyyy too far, and the one at caspian border is behind a rock -_-

And the "Little Bird" heli as well. @ engineers on the chopper and two gunners can be pretty deadly. But they are so slow moving, they are easy targets for other air vehicles and such, so it's good to have a tank team or two on the ground close by for real map superiority. :laugh:

Well, as the old saying goes, sheep are a lot more wary and jumpier in Montana, for reasons I won't get into.:D You put a trendy metro man from Eugene or Portland in Eastern Montana and the ranchers wouldn't need to use their velcro gloves as much.

But in all seriousness, sheep mortality to eagles, bald or golden, isn't as widespread as talked about, and occurs mostly with lambs.

Anyways, completely off topic.

LULz. Well, I had already committed myself to going "clean" for a while, because I want to save the $20 I spend on beer every week for a summer carpentry project, and I also want to spend more time writing, which doesn't work well when I'm inebriated. I really need a new desk, or something, too.

Besides, although it happens quite often, it's still kinda embarrasing. I feel all uncivilized and stuff.:laugh:

I dunno, we all seemingly have the same sort of mentality, which is what I meant by "the older crowd". I mean, we are, after all, playing the game daily to relax at the end of the day, and nobody seems to mind making an ass of themselves to spread some joviality.

Last weekend I...ah.... went a bit too far:laugh:, and spent last Saturday nursing my head all day long. Today, i've got a tonne of work accomplished already, and it isn't even noon yet. No more Old Milwakee for me until the trees get leaves!!

For example, i have hundreds of revives and heals, one of the assignments is to do 10 heals and 10 revives, so would i already have that without playing? Or is it a clean slate when you purchase it?

There seem to be a few cheapo IPS panels from LG but I don't know hows that for gaming.
Was getting wet for a 120Hz TFT but those IPS colours look so sexy. so

TFT 120Hz 16:9 FullHd ?
IPS 16:9 FullHD ?

Also was wondering if theres a chance for a 16:10 screen as IMHO its a better universal aspect for general/gaming PC use?

What screen would you guys buy aimed for BF3.

There seem to be a few cheapo IPS panels from LG but I don't know hows that for gaming.
Was getting wet for a 120Hz TFT but those IPS colours look so sexy. so

TFT 120Hz 16:9 FullHd ?
IPS 16:9 FullHD ?

Also was wondering if theres a chance for a 16:10 screen as IMHO its a better universal aspect for general/gaming PC use?

120hz. For shooters, nothing beats the whip-fast response time and high fps. You get to see your opponent a fraction of a second before he sees you just thanks to having a faster monitor. How cool is that?

That's what I did. :) 120hz is bliss for me, and I cannot go back to 60. Although people who switch to ips panels also say that they will not go back to TN's. I'd say its easier to go with an ips since you don't need to pump out an extra 60 fps to enjoy the better colors. Even for my system I play bf3 on all low with 2x msaa just to keep a solid 120 fps although I do get down to mid 100's on 64 player conquest matches with a lot of shit going on. Even when it drops to 100 i can notice it now and 60 almost looks like a slideshow. But I think bf3 looks fantastic even on low so the fluidity of motion is definitely worth the loss of candy. I am now spoiled and will have to have 120 fps/hz in my games.

I am very happy with my IPS both because I play a lot more games than just shooters and because I watch movies on my monitor with my girlfriend and/or friends, so the wider view angle helps a lot :)

Ok so anybody know a good IPS panel with 120Hz for 200euro's ? :D

Spaceman Spiff
Feb 21, 2012, 02:20 PM
As far as I know caleb, there is no such product out yet. I'm still waiting for a <24" AMOLED, 2560x1600, 120hz, <3ms panel.....but it will be quite a while. I don't understand why everyone insists on huge 30" panels with gigantic pixel pitch that take high amounts of AA to reduce the aliasing. Hell, I was upset when I had to go from 21.5 to 23.6" just to get 120hz but it was worth it.

Also, 120hz isn't just useful for fps games, the fluidity is noticeable on all 3d games and even on the desktop. Although, if colors are your thing, then ips is the smarter move.

The biggest issue for me with 120hz are the games that are hardlocked to 60 frames and sometimes even 30!! Absolute eye torture for me now. The higher refresh rate is very pleasing to my eyes, I don't have eye strain like I did from my 60hz panel.

I got cheated out of 20000 for my savior medal because it crashed during that round. It only gave me the ribbons from the second round when I came back. Suckage !
Not to mention I had enough on assault point wise in the first part of the match to unlock the last 2 rifles on assault. I'm really pissed and bummed.
Is there any chance that will pop up later or is it just gone ?

You'll get it once you get a couple more revives. Don't worry, if you crash, what you did in that round doesn't count, which means that all awards can still be earned.

It gave me the savior medal, but no points and it didn't show up on that round. So all the ribbons
I had prior to re-entry I got zero points for them. Fuck the ribbons and medal I wanted the points
to get to my next level and unlock my last assault guns. I lost an hour and half of work and can't
re earn my savior medal because it gave it to me, with out points of course. 20,000 points !

Update: Got my assault rifle medal so it makes losing the points for the savior one a little easier to swallow.
Should be able to level up and get the rifle unlocks tomorrow pretty quick.

Battlefieldo.com - Blackout Battlefield (http://battlefieldo.com/threads/blackout-battlefield.3881/)

Discussion in 'News & Updates' started by PR3SIDENT, Today at 2:38 PM.

It may come to this...

http://battlefieldo.com/attachments/bf3blackout_image-jpg.621/

The real issue with Battlefield 3 isn’t the game itself believe it or not. The great thing about a game is it can be patched, fixed, corrected and enhanced where needed… and whose job is that you wonder? DICE, the game developer and the people who should be running the Battlefield community, not some marketing/publisher powerhouse with nothing but dollar signs and stock projections in mind… why am I talking about this you may ask? It’s because the loyal, dedicated, veterans of this game know and understand that DICE is working their ass off to fix the game, and the issues we demand, but Electronic Arts worried about nothing but money. This community has been neglected since the launch of the game in October. No information on patches until release date, and no communication at all from the studio and developers on issues.

As a longtime battlefield player, community manager, and a person who knows what is going on with this community on a daily basis, I’m frustrated, you’re frustrated… Shouldn’t we expect better? At least acknowledge the existence of the issues we present, and have a very long list of things to work on. Yet... we know none of this information have that communication now do we? You wonder why I assume of course, why is it that the studio who developed the game, cannot communicate with the followers, fans, and community that the very game they built? The answer of course is Electronic Arts… We can’t get information, or even acknowledgement about the issues we raise, patching schedules, game updates, or even hints at Downloadable content. Electronic Arts is too concerned with releasing information based on their precious yet inaccurate numbers that calculate the best times to release game updates and DLC. Not the community, not you, and certainly not me.

DICE after all, is owned by EA… this isn’t all EA’s fault to be honest; some of the blame lies with DICE as well. Obviously there are some issues that are currently in the game that exist as problems because of the failure to QA said problems. (USAS-12, MAV Elevators, etc…) We can assume that a lot of these instances with weapons being so severely unbalanced and blatant issues with map glitches such as the MAV situation are because of the rush to push the game out to compete with Modern Warfare 3. Nevertheless, we’re kept in the dark with no patch schedule, no details, and not even direct responses from DICE, at all.

So… this is what we’re going to do… as a community. We’re going to give Electronic Arts until Friday, March 2nd to announce the next major patch and the fixes that they have made, or are currently making. SOME acknowledgement of the outcry about the issues that is currently wrong with the game right now, today… Or we’re going to black out the entire battlefield community for 1 day, 24 hours, no playing, no posting, and no tweeting. Silence fed right back into the mouths of those who have chosen to give us the very same silence. We’ll be waiting for you to give us our community back EA, and put it in the very capable hands of the people who developed, and made the game. Please, we beg you, allow us to communicate, get information, and answers from the game developers, not bullshit responses on twitter from @Battlefield telling them to contact a game advisor.

We’d just like to also clarify that we love and appreciate all the DICE developers, and enjoy very much interacting with them, sharing ideas and planning events with them. However, we are a community site, and we carry the voice and speak for the community, right now, the community needs your attention, communication, and a little more transparency as to what’s going on with the game.

Stay updated here, and across all our sites for motivation and movement to Black Out the entire Battlefield community should it come to that… Follow the @dontrevivemebro and @Battlefieldo twitters for more information on the #BF3Blackout , should it come to this… hopefully it does not.

PR3SIDENT, Today at 2:38 PM #1

==================================================

More info...Mp1st.com - Battlefield 3 Community Initiates #BF3Blackout Movement (http://mp1st.com/2012/02/22/battlefield-3-community-initiates-bf3blackout/)

David VeselkaFebruary 22, 2012Battlefield, Battlefield 3, News

Communication is key to building a strong community, especially when millions of players are involved. Battlefield/Digital Illusions CE has one of the most dedicated following in the FPS genre – rightly earned thanks to their support for those who love playing their games.

Battlefield 3, one of DICE’s/EA’s most important launches ever, has been out on shelves for almost 5 months now. While it wasn’t graced with the smoothest launch ever, things are slowly but surely looking up. Unfortunately, despite the amount of work we know DICE is putting into Battlefield 3 – polishing and ridding it of bugs and and other annoyances, frustration is rapidly building within the community and is caused by that key strength DICE once possessed: Communication, or the lack thereof.

While many factors could possibly be contributing to this decay, be it EA’s rigidity of release date announcements or unwillingness to allow open dialogue between players and developers, one thing is for sure: The Battlefield 3 community has been kept in the dark for too long. While we’re not asking for a patch or DLC right this very instant, a little bit of transparency can go a long way.

Earlier today, community website, Battlefieldo, who recently merged with community podcast, Don’t Revive Me Bro, have taken the first steps in a plan to show EA that the Battlefield community is no longer willing to accept these standards of communication. Cory “Pr3esident” Niblett says it best in a recent article: “As a longtime battlefield player, community manager, and a person who knows what is going on with this community on a daily basis, I’m frustrated, you’re frustrated… Shouldn’t we expect better? At least acknowledge the existence of the issues we present, and have a very long list of things to work on.” He added, “we’re kept in the dark with no patch schedule, no details, and not even direct responses from DICE, at all.”

So, what exactly is going to be done about it? Cory explains, “So… this is what we’re going to do… as a community. We’re going to give Electronic Arts until Friday, March 2nd to announce the next major patch and the fixes that they have made, or are currently making. SOME acknowledgement of the outcry about the issues that is currently wrong with the game right now, today… Or we’re going to black out the entire battlefield community for 1 day, 24 hours, no playing, no posting, and no tweeting. Silence fed right back into the mouths of those who have chosen to give us the very same silence. We’ll be waiting for you to give us our community back EA, and put it in the very capable hands of the people who developed, and made the game.”

Battlefield 3 Community Manager, Daniel Matros, has officially responded, sympathizing with the Battlefield community: “I completely understand the motives behind it.” He continued, “I support the BF community in any way I can and if you express your opinions like this, I must understand it.” Gameplay Designer, Tim Kjiell rightfully added, “Staying in touch with community and having a transparent workflow is key to the lifetime of a game. I understand and agree. Will do what I can to push for more direct comm.”

So, if you love Battlefield 3 and DICE, join the movement and show your support for #BF3Blackout on Twitter. We know MP1st will!

I have to agree. The community is what keeps a game/series alive. I'm getting extremely tired of the MAV riding horseshit. Sure its fun to try it out to see where you can go, but those asshats that put themselves up on the tall buildings in Karkand on Squad DM make me want to throw my PC out the window sometimes.... I'm onboard. We need patches, release notes, and some acknowledgement of the issues that have been found.

:laugh: Yes it does look better with 12 but I think it plays better without HT. :toast:

Given the comments earlier I assumed that BF3 wouldn't scale to 6 cores or more. I went from 80% load on 4 on my 920 at 3.8Ghz to ~40% on 6 at stock clocks on the 970. To me that would seem like an improvement.

I don't know as I just got it yesterday and got Windows reinstalled and settled today. I've got tomorrow off all day to play around to see how far it goes though.

Confirmed Fixes and tweaks

By: zh1nt0 Posted: 11 minutes ago

Hello everyone!
We would like to share some of the confirmed fixes and tweaks that we have been working on to the Community. Note that this is still not a full update list and there will be more information on this as we go forward. Also please remember that the content in this list might be changed but of course, we will also keep you in the loop about this. While there still is no ETA on the patch, we´re still working on improving online gameplay for all of our dear community members. So far, this list is for PC.

GENERAL GAMEPLAY FIXES:


-It is now possible to set Hold Breath to Press Button or Hold Button in the options menu.
-Players will no longer spawn on top of vehicles which are full.
-Fixed so that glass in Back to Karkand levels no longer stops grenades and bullets.
-Fixed destruction and bullet penetration on several fences, surfaces, and objects in Back to Karkand.
-Fixed a fence on Sharqi that would block bullets despite being see through.
-Fixed several places where the player would need to vault over small ledges in the houses on Wake Island.
-The red plastic water jugs on Wake Island are properly moved when shot or run over/into.
-A fence on Canals will no longer stop bullets fired from one direction. Bullets will now always penetrate the surface.
-Fixed a collision exploit on Grand Bazaar and several other levels.
-Fixed missing textures on the Russian Gasmask when using Spec Ops camo.
-Fixed missing textures on the US Assault soldier when using Spec Ops camo.
-Corrected several objects that would incorrectly block bullets.
-The US Assault soldier's arms 1P now match his 3P skin tone.
-User is now being able to spawn on his own spawn beacon
-Fixed the disappearing crosshair issue in TDM
-Scroll bars and stats bars now fade out when the game fades to black between rounds
-If you die with the scoreboard up it will go away instant
-Show proper PING in scoreboard
-Users can create custom squads
-Fix SQDM squad system, now you are in an actual squad
-Correct unlock dates are now shown in 'Battle Feed'
-Select weapons now show their internal add-ons in the killer card.


VEHICLE FIXES:


-The A10 properly gives Jet score again.
-Unguided tank rounds and RPGs will now instantly destroy Jets, Attack Helicopters, and Scout Helicopters.
-Increased the damage the MBT's primary weapon does to the front and side armor of other main battle tanks. Primarily this means 1 less shot to the front, and very good hits to the side can result in a 1 hit to disable.
-Slightly reduced the repair speed of the repair tool.
-Increased the damage done by TOW weapons to armored vehicles.
-Increased the rate of fire and minimum damage of the Coax HMG.
-Increased the damage mounted gunner .50cal HMGs do at long range.
-Increased the power of the repair tool when killing soldiers or destroying vehicles slightly.
-Fixed a problem when locking on to two nearby targets, the locking should no longer jump rapidly between multiple targets. This applies to all locking weapons and Laser Designators.
-Increased the damage of the Javelin and Air to Ground missiles against laser designated targets.
-Javelin missiles fired without Laser targeting now do more damage to the side and rear of MBTs.
-Slightly reduced the locking time of all weapons vs Laser Designated targets.
-Laser Guided missiles can now be distracted by Flares.
-Increased the locking distance for AGM Missiles for Jets when locking on laser designated targets.
-Reduced the locking time for the AGM Missiles for Jets to make them more viable against ground targets.
-Reduced the locking time for AA Missiles for Jets to make them more viable against air targets.
-Flares will no longer break the lock of a vehicle that is locked on, it will only distract the missiles.
-Flares now more reliably distract missiles, especially for Helicopters.
-Flares for Jets and Choppers now reload at 11 seconds again, except for the gunner, which remains unchanged at 20sec.
-AA Missiles are more difficult to dodge in Jets, this was unintended behavior that created an imbalance against skilled pilots.
-AA Missiles should no longer kill the pilot instead of the vehicle.
-AA Missiles should no longer detonate before hitting their target or a Flare/ECM chaff cloud.
-Reduced the damage AA missiles do to jets to 45%.
-Fixed the SU-35 firing Air to Air missiles at a lower rate of fire than other vehicles.
-The IGLA and Stinger now lock on much more quickly and disable an attack aircraft in 1 hit, but have significantly reduced range. This should allow Stingers to mount an effective close range point defense, without dominating an entire airspace.
-Increased the speed of the Helicopter AA missiles lock on to reduce the tedious nature of Helicopter dogfights and improve the Helicopter's defensive abilities vs Jets.
-Slightly reduced the damage of Jet cannons against Aircraft. Damage is now only slightly higher than it was originally at launch.
-Increased RPG and SMAW damage against aircraft.
-Guided Rockets will now only track ground targets, as originally intended.
-Reduced the direct damage done by Attack Helicopter gunners vs Armor.
-Helicopter guns should now suppress correctly.
-Improved the accuracy of the Attack Helicopter's Rocket Pods, both guided and unguided.
-Slightly increased the damage of Attack Helicopter's Rocket Pods vs Infantry and other Helicopters.
-Additional fixes have been made to the TV missile to prevent it from blowing up the lauching vehicle.
-The Mi28 has received upgrades to its climbing and yawing abilities.
-Fixed an issue where guided rockets from the Mi28 did not follow the crosshair properly.
-Improved the accuracy of the Mi28 gun to match the AH1 gun.
-Increased the direct hit damage of the APFSDS rounds for the IFVs.
-Decreased the locking time of the IFV Guided Missile to make it more viable as an unlock.
-Miniguns and Helicopter Gunners now more quickly destroy parked cars.
-Increased the power of explosions from cars and other explosive static objects.
-Dying from the explosion of a car or other explosive static object should now correctly credit the player who caused the explosion.
-Adjusted the F35's Center of Mass and Hover Engine for more stable, level flight in all flight modes.
-Updated the F35 weapon systems to be consistent with the other Jets.
-The F35 will now only attempt to enter Hover at low altitudes, though it will maintain the hover until forward flight is resumed, even if it reaches high altitude.
-The F35 and SU35 now properly have Ejection seats to prevent players from being killed when exiting the vehicle.
-Changed the Kornets to TOW launchers on Wake Island and moved the spawn position of the AAV to a more level position.
-Fixed several bugs with air vehicles colliding with objects at high speeds and taking no damage.
-Players will no longer receive suicides or team kills if they crash their vehicle (dying is punishment enough).
-The MAV will no longer destroy vehicles that run into it, instead it should be destroyed.
-Jet and Helicopter collisions should now properly result in the death of both vehicles.
-You can now spot with the EOD bot.
-Increased the base accuracy for AA guns and added a decrease in accuracy over the course of a burst.

-Tweaked the AAV's turret controls to be more useful when the vehicle is moving.
-The Z11w now properly functions with Below Radar.
-Below Radar will now also prevent the lock on of Stinger and IGLA missiles.
-Added Horns to all Jeeps.
-Tanks can no longer drive into the water and cross the Wake Island lagoon completely submerged.


WEAPONS:


-Added Extended Mags to the ASVAL. The Extended Mags can be unlocked at 200 kills with the AS VAL.
-Reduced the recoil of the SKS rifle.
-Fixed aimed firing max accuracy on the Pecheneg to be consistent with other LMGs.
-Semiautomatic and automatic shotguns firing FRAG rounds now do slightly less splash damage.
-The M26 MASS frag and slug rounds are now the more effective pump action versions.
-The M26 MASS and M320 now benefit from the Laser Sight when mounted with an Underslung Rail.
-Fixed the bolt action timer on the L96 that would cause an animation glitch.
-9x39mm rounds no longer benefit from the Sniper headshot bonus.
-Increased the damage of the 9x39mm rounds at long range.
-Fixed the AKS74u damage at max range, it was incorrectly higher than other carbines.
-Increased the damage of the .357 and .44 magnum rounds at max range.
-All semiautomatic and bolt weapons, including all shotgun slugs, now have their maximum damage out to 15m.
-Semiautomatic weapons will no longer "jam" if the player presses fire faster than the weapon is capable of shooting. Some semi-automatic weapons have had their rates of fire adjusted to fit this change.
-Bolt action sniper rounds now have a chance to kill at close range if the player is hit in the upper chest.
-Semiautomatic sniper rifles, Assault Rifles, LMGs, and shotgun slugs now have more consistent damage over long range. At maximum range shots to the legs will not require more hits to kill.
-The spread for Flechette rounds has been reduced slightly on all shotguns.
-The spread for Buckshot has been reduced on the M1014, DAO-12, and S12k. These weapons have an accuracy advantage over the USAS12 but are not as accurate as the 870.
-Zooming shotguns with Buckshot and Flechette loads will now result in a slightly tighter cone for the pellets.
-Reduced the delay time between quick knife attempts slightly. Attacks with the knife drawn are still significantly faster.
-Fixed the Rate of Fire when the USAS and MK3A1 are equipped with FRAG rounds. All other shotguns correctly had a reduced rate of fire with frags, except the USAS and MK3A1.
-Fixed an Accuracy bug when the MK3A1 shotgun is equipped with FRAG or Slug rounds.

-Players can now earn the shotgun Ribbon using the M26 MASS.
-The underslung grenade launchers for Russian rifles now properly report GP30 in the kill log.
-Fixed the AEK971 40mm shotgun round listing itself as FRAG in the kill log.
-Fixed the 40mm smoke grenade so it no longer passes through soldiers and unbroken objects before it detonates.


Several weapons have had recoil or accuracy adjusted in orer to balance these weapons in effectiveness and also increase the feeling of individuality in each gun


-M27 IAR: No change. The M27 is a heavier version of the M416, giving it good all-around performance though it has worse performance on the move.
-RPK-74M: Reduced the initial recoil. The RPK-74M is a more stable firing platform than the comparable M27, though it lacks the M27's higher rate of fire.
-M249: Added an initial recoil. The M249 is the fastest firing belt fed LMG, giving it superior suppressive and damage abilities. The initial recoil makes it a bit harder to run and gun, while making little overall impact on performance.
-Type-88: Slightly increased the initial recoil, reduced muzzle drift. The Type88 fires the slowest of the medium caliber LMGs, though what it lacks in rate of fire it makes up for in controllability.
-PKP: Reduced recoil but added a slight initial recoil, increased damage at max range. The Pecheneg has a heavy vertical recoil with a hard hitting round and little drift, this makes it excellent at sustained fire.
-M60: Reduced the initial recoil, increased damage at all ranges. The M60 has a very low rate of fire that makes it the most controllable with the powerful 7.62x51mm round.
-M240B: Added an initial recoil, increased damage at all ranges. The fastest firing medium MG, the M240 has a substantial muzzle kick and drift that makes all that power difficult to control.
-QBB-95: Reduced the total recoil but increased muzzle drift and initial recoil. The QBB-95 should now kick harder but settle into full auto fire better, combined with the bullpup hip fire bonus this makes the QBB-95 a highly mobile LMG.
-MG36: Added an initial recoil. The MG36 fires at a fast 750rpm and makes a nice middle ground between the controllability of a clip LMG and the sustained firepower of a belt fed LMG.
-870: No change. The 870 is a popular and highly effective weapon.
-DAO-12: Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The DAO-12 has a high magazine capacity with a slow reload that makes it a solid all-around shotgun.
-M1014: Increased the rate of fire from 200 max to 210 max. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The M1014 was underperforming compared to the USAS12 and 870, it should now be more viable in CQB thanks to a higher rate of fire.
-S12k: Increased extended mag from 8 rounds to 10 rounds. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The S12k larger extended magazine but slower rate of fire should make it stand out against the M1014, while the DAO-12 has a higher capacity over all, but a slower reload.
-MK3A1: Increased magazine capacity to 8 and 12 for normal and extended mag respectively. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The MK3A1 has a lower ROF than the USAS12, giving it slightly more ammo makes this an edge vs the USAS.
-USAS-12: Increased the initial recoil. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The USAS 12 has a higher ROF than other shotguns, this recoil change better balances that advantage and the pellets balance its damage output.
-M4A1: No Change. Well-rounded carbine, with good rate of fire and controllable recoil.
-M4: Increased vertical recoil and reduced horizontal recoil. The Burst only M4 should now feel different to its automatic sibling, the reduced horizontal recoil emphasizes the greater control you have in burst fire.
-AKS-74U: Increased initial recoil, reduced vertical recoil. The AKS-74u's low rate of fire is paired with great controllability. The overall increase in sustained fire control should help this carbine stand out, while the first kick gives it character.
-SG553: Reduced initial recoil and vertical recoil. The SG553 is a lower rate of fire carbine with greater controllability than the G36C. The change to initial recoil should better highlight this difference.
-A91: No Change. The A91's high rate of fire and bullpup from the hip accuracy is offset by a poor controllability on full auto.
-G36C: Reduced initial recoil. The G36C is a well-rounded carbine, with a medium rate of fire and a medium recoil. The 2 round burst mode gives this weapon an edge at mid-range.
-SCAR-H: Increased damage at maximum range and increased max range. The SCAR-H fires a heavier round than all other carbines, giving it better stopping power at range at the cost of a low fire rate that penalizes it in CQB.
-G53: Reduced recoil and drift, recoil settle times now similar to other carbines. The HK53 is a short carbine with a lot of initial kick but a stable recoil pattern and a medium rate of fire. The changes give it more character compared to the G36.
-QBZ-95B: Reduced muzzle sway, recoil settle times now similar to other carbines. A bullpup like the A91, the QBZ-95B is steady on the move with a lower rate of fire for controllable shots at longer range. The built in foregrip is now properly reflected in the weapon's stats.
-AK-74M: Reduced the initial recoil. The AK-74M sacrifices rate of fire for controllable automatic fire, the initial recoil was negatively affecting the feeling of controllability.
-M16A3: No Change. The M16 (both A3 and A4) provide a well-rounded stable firing platform with a high rate of fire that is relatively controllable.
-M16A4: Increased vertical recoil, reduced horizontal recoil. The Burst only M16A4 should now feel different to its automatic sibling, the reduced horizontal recoil emphasizes the greater control you have in burst fire.
-M416: Increased initial recoil. The M416 is the middle ground AR, blending a medium recoil and rate of fire. An increased initial kick emphasizes the higher recoil than the
-AEK-971: Increased initial recoil. The AEK has a very high rate of fire, and also a large muzzle drift that makes control difficult. The low initial recoil allowed a player to kill before the weapon's weaknesses kicked in.
-F2000: Reduced vertical recoil, increased zoomed accuracy. As a bullpup, the F2000 has a bonus to accuracy on the move and from the hip while its high rate of fire sacrifices controllability for saturation. The previous changes were an overreaction, this is a corrective update.
-AN94: Reduced vertical recoil. The AN94's 2 round burst mode is incredibly accurate, but it suffers from a low rate of fire on fully automatic. The recoil in full auto has been reduced somewhat to offset this penalty and make the AN94 more attractive.
-G3A3: Increased damage at all ranges. The G3A3's heavy recoil and heavy round are offset by a low rate of fire and a small magazine. The G3A3 was clearly outclassed at all ranges.
-KH2002: No Change. The KH2002 is locked to burst fire, with a high rate of fire and a large muzzle drift the weapon favors accurate mid-range fire.
-L85A2: Increased accuracy, reduced muzzle drift. The L85 differs from other bullpup style ARs by having a low rate of fire, the accuracy and controllability were too low to offset the rate of fire.
-FAMAS: The FAMAS combines an extreme rate of fire with extreme recoil making it very difficult to use at anything other than close quarters combat. Due to update restrictions, the FAMAS had different stats on all 3 platforms. The FAMAS is now uniform on all platforms and now has the correct 25 round magazine.
-PP2000: Reduced the initial recoil. The PP2000 has a lower ROF than other PDWs and needed the controllability to be balanced.
-UMP45: No Changes. The UMP45 hits hard and has a controllable recoil at the cost of a heavy initial recoil kick.
-MP7: No Change. The MP7 has a very low recoil and a high muzzle drift that favors longer bursts than the P90.
-AS VAL: Increased the muzzle drift. The AS VAL fires a longer range, higher damage projectile that favors short bursts or single fire and was too controllable on full auto.
-PDW-R: Reduced the initial recoil. The PDW-R has high recoil and favors burst fire, the added initial recoil was making it less effective in small bursts.
-P90: Reduced the initial recoil. The P90 favors a run and gun play style using long bursts to control muzzle drift, the initial recoil was making bursting ineffective.
-PP-19: Slightly reduced the initial recoil when firing, increased base damage. The PP-19's high initial recoil was over penalizing the burst fire needed to be effective on the low damage, high capacity weapon.


WEAPON ACCESSORIES:


SCOPES:


-Fixed the 7x scope not zooming to the full 7x on all weapons.
-Corrected the M39's laser sight so it points at the point of impact and aligns with scopes when zoomed.
-Fixed a misaligned scope crosshair on the G3A3 using the Rifle Scope 6x.
-Fixed the PKA and PKA-S scopes on the M416 having swapped zoom levels.
-The L96 Straight Pull bolt now functions properly.
-The L96 ironsights have been adjusted for a clearer aiming picture and correct use of the integral front sight.
-The L96 now properly shows scope glint when using the 8x, and 12x scopes.
-Tweaked IRNV to be more consistent across all levels.
-Fixed a rendering issue with IRNV view when taking damage.
-Tweaked the IRNV zoom times and scope visible areas to be the same across all weapons (some were faster than others).
-Fixed the QBU-88 sniper and the L96 IRNV scopes to use the proper sniper reticule

BIPOD:


-The Accuracy increase and Recoil reduction of the Bipod has been significantly improved for Assault Rifles and Carbines.
-The Bipod now provides similar Accuracy and Recoil benefits no matter if the weapon is fired while aiming or without aiming for all weapons. Previously only LMGs were worked this way. This especially improves the speed at which snipers can make follow up shots, and also allows effective unaimed suppressive fire with Assault Rifles and Carbines.
-Increased the Speed at which a bipod is deployed, allowing the user to obtain the bipod's bonus sooner after the deploy has started and allowing the weapon to be aimed in a far shorter time. The speed has been increased 40-50%, depending on the weapon and animation.
-Fixed a recoil issue with the M60 bipods.
FOREGRIP:
-The Horizontal Sway reduction has been changed from a global percent reduction to a weapon specific value reduction. For most guns this means very little change, for guns which have a large horizontal recoil the change is more substation. The FAMAS, F2000, and AEK971 are most affected; the AK-74, M16, and M416 are nearly unchanged.
-A small long range Aimed Accuracy penalty has been added to the foregrip. Players who generally find themselves fighting at mid to long range may want to change their accessory, while players fighting in CQB will go largely unaffected.


HEAVY BARREL:


-The Vertical Recoil penalty of the Heavy Barrel has been reduced. The value has been changed from a global percent increase to a weapon specific value.
-A small Hip Accuracy penalty has been added to the Heavy Barrel to represent the added weight of the accessory, as well as focus the attachment on accurate mid and long range fire. The exact penalty amount is a weapon specific value.
-Several weapons with low default bullet speed now have their bullet speed increased when the Heavy Barrel is equipped. This is in effect for the A91, G3A3, AKS-74u, G36C, M4A1, SCAR-H, SG553, G53, and QBZ-95B.
-The Heavy Barrel is now also paired with Match Rounds which increase the maximum range of the weapon. The minimum and maximum damage are unchanged, weapons with the Heavy Barrel will be more effective in mid-range.
-The Aimed Accuracy bonus provided by the Heavy Barrel has been increased. This will increase the effectiveness of the Heavy Barrel for small bursts, as originally intended.


LASER SIGHT:


-The Hip Accuracy bonus provided by the Laser Sight has been increased.
-The bonus is now a weapon specific value instead of a global percentage, some guns receive larger or smaller bonuses, though all bonuses are better than they were previously.
-Fixed the S12k Laser Sight providing the aim bonus even when turned off.


SUPPRESSOR:



-The Suppressor no longer reduces the maximum damage of a weapon when equipped. Instead the Suppressor reduces the minimum and maximum range of the weapon, making it ideal for CQB and Stealth. This change will make the Suppressor slightly more effective at long range, where the bullet drop and speed makes shots difficult already, and reduces the power of the suppressor at mid-range slightly.
-The Suppressor's recoil bonus remains unchanged at a global 10% decrease. This is less than the Flash Suppressor's bonus for all weapons.
-The Hip Accuracy penalty of the Suppressor has been changed from a global percentage to a per weapon value. Generally this penalty is higher now, but not for all weapons. Specifically, the belt LMGs and bolt Snipers do not have any additional hip fire penalty, as their penalty is already at the maximum possible value.
-Reduced the Aimed Accuracy bonus of the Suppressor from 50% to 25%. A Suppressor and Foregrip combo will have similar accuracy to a weapon without any Accessories, at the penalty of worse Hip Fire Accuracy and Range and with the benefit of much improved Stealth and reduced Recoil.


FLASH SUPPRESSOR:



-The Flash Suppressor no longer reduces accuracy for Automatic Fire.
-The Flash Suppressor now also works as a recoil compensator, reducing the Vertical Recoil by a weapon specific value. This bonus is larger than the bonus provided by the Suppressor.
-A small Hip Accuracy penalty has been added to the Flash Suppressor to represent the added weight of the accessory. The exact penalty amount is a weapon specific value.


GADGETS:


-Reduced the spot times on C4 and Claymore projectiles from 30 to 15 sec.
-Tweaked the controls and physics for the EOD bot to improve its handling and aiming capabilities.
-The Radio Beacon, Mortar, MAV, EOD bot, T-UGS, and SOFLAM should now be much easier to deploy.
-The MAV will now be destroyed when running into a soldier or vehicle at high speed. It is still possible to strategically sacrifice your MAV on a soldier; it will be destroyed in the process.
-The MAV now properly shows up in the Kill Feed. Previously it simply displayed "KILLED."
-The MAV can no longer be used as an elevator.
-Matched the motion sensor sweep frequency and range on the MAV to the TUGS.
-Players will no longer auto enter SOFLAM, MAV, and EOD bots after they are deployed.
-Players may now use their knife to destroy enemy equipment.
-C4 will no longer be detonable after a player respawns, if the player is revived within 5 seconds he can still detonate his C4.
-The player may now have a maximum number of mines which will persist after the player's death. Deploying more than the maximum of 6 mines will remove a previous mine from the world.
-Claymores now live up to 5 seconds after a player dies, the player can have a max 2 claymores planted at the same time.
-Claymores can now detonate from vehicles and can be used to disable jeeps or kill the passengers in light jeeps. Claymores will not do any damage to heavy vehicles.
-Ammobags now stay until the user redeploys them like Medkits.
-Ammobags resupply bullets more quickly, but explosives resupply more slowly, especially 40mm grenades.
-Slightly reduced the effective blast radius of the RPG, SMAW, and 40mm grenade projectiles against infantry.
-Reduced the total number of RPG and SMAW missiles carried from 5 to 4. Players desiring more rockets will want to use the Explosive spec.
-Slightly increased the heal rate of the Medical Crate.
-The MAV now will also descend by pressing the Crouch Toggle key. (PC)
-The M224 Mortar can no longer be deployed in an area that is out of combat for another team like a home base or other protected spawn.
-Tweaked M224 exit points so the player faces in the direction of the mortar when he exits.
-Mines, Claymores, C4 and other deployable items will now only appear on the minimap when spotted by a teammate.


GENERAL GAMEPLAY:



-Players should no longer take fall damage from short falls.
-Players now get up from Prone slightly faster, allowing better odds of getting away from a grenade or threat when prone.
-Fixed some situations that would unintentionally make a player unrevivable.
-Reduced the black screen fade in time on spawn. The fade is still necessary for properly streaming in loading content at spawn, but it has been substantially reduced.
-Increased the spawn protection time from 1sec to 2sec. The protection will still be immediately canceled as soon as the player moves or shoots.
-Spawn protection will no longer be canceled by the player looking around.
-Increased the speed at which a player regains accuracy when aiming after moving for a more responsive experience. Firing before fully zoomed will still result inaccurate fire.
-Increased the inaccuracy and recoil added when a player is fully suppressed.
-Shotgun Buck and Flechette rounds now have a less suppressive effect at medium to long range.
-Tweaked the damage levels of Buck and Flechette rounds to balance them with other weapons.
-Improved the suppression of the .44 magnum, .357 magnum, and the 5.8x42mm DAP88 rounds from the Type88 sniper.
-Attempting to Crouch (like Prone) will now properly interrupt Sprint.
-Increased the effectiveness of Suppression Resist Specialization.
-Parachutes now respond to turn and throttle inputs more quickly.
-Switching from primary weapons to sidearms and back now takes less time.
-Increased the effectiveness of explosive resistance.
-Tweaked bipod deploy settings so players can no longer deploy a bipod in places higher than chin level.
-The bipod should now be more reliable when deploying on top of sloped objects like cars and rocks.
-Fixed several issues with vaulting objects, especially for thin railings.
-The Knife now only takes two swipes to kill when attacking from a position where a takedown is not possible.
-CRAM weapons on Carriers now count towards stationary weapon awards.


TEAM DEATHMATCH

-Fixed a bug where players would spawn close to the enemy team at the start of the round.
-Tehran Highway playable area has been doubled and is now the same as the Squad Deathmatch set up. Spawn points have been tweaked and an extra spawn zone has been added north of the footbridge.
-Kharg Island has a new spawn zone layout, along with a bigger playable area and new cover objects. Spawn points have also been tweaked.
-Strike at Karkand spawns zones have been tweaked to improve player flow. Spawn points have been tweaked to improve safety upon spawning.
-Sharqi Peninsula spawn zones have been adjusted to optimize player movement. Spawn points have been tweaked so players spawn more safely.
-Seine Crossing spawn zone set up has been improved. There is a new spawn zone by the alleyway to the northwest with additional spawn points.
-Caspain Border spawn zones have been tweaked slightly.


SQUAD DEATHMATCH



-Fixed a bug where players would spawn close to the enemy team at the start of the round.
-Damavand Peak layout and spawn zones have been tightened to reduce the spread of players across the map
-Tehran Highway now features an extra spawn zone north of the footbridge, along with tweaked spawn points.
-Noshahr Canals spawn zones have been tweaked. Removed unsafe spawn points in the Northeast corner and in the middle of the container area, to the Southwest.

Battlefieldo.com - Blackout Update: We Spoke, They Listened (http://battlefieldo.com/threads/blackout-update-we-spoke-they-listened.3907/)


in 'News & Updates' started by PR3SIDENT, Today at 11:58 AM.

.PR3SIDENT Managing Director Battlelog/Origin ID:BFO-

Our post yesterday calling for an increase in transparency and open communication between the Battlefield developers at DICE and the BF3 community at large has received widespread support throughout the community and thanks in part to coverage from sites such as Eurogamer, MP1st, PCGames.de and others, the people at EA have listened and responded! We also received support from several DICE developers themselves who sent words of support and encouragement on Twitter, including Elxx, zh1nt0, and stormonster.

This morning, lead Battlefield community manager Daniel "zh1nt0" Matros posted a partial (but nevertheless extensive) list of changes for the upcoming patch (http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/news/view/2832654779195992365/), including bugfixes, tweaks, and gameplay balancing changes. On top of that, Eurogamer announced today (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-02-23-ea-reveals-new-weekly-inside-dice-battlefield-3-community-blog) that EA has informed them of plans to launch a weekly blog feature on the Battlefield Blog (http://blogs.battlefield.com/) called "Inside DICE" which they say "will debut next week and is a way for us to update you, our fans, with all the latest news, content plans, updates and upgrades we have planned for Battlefield 3." This is obviously a direct response to the groundswell of support and community outcry that commenced after our BF3 Blackout post yesterday.

So pat yourselves on the back everyone! This is the kind of positive change that can be made if gamers take a respectful and mature attitude towards voicing their concerns and needs. We spoke, and EA has listened and responded directly with two measures meant to mollify our concerns and address the issues of communication that we raised as a community. Thanks to everybody who showed their support and to all of the gaming press outlets and community sites who helped us spread our plea for communication.

Of course, while this is all a great step and an unexpectedly prompt response from the folks at EA, we need to emphasize that it needs to be the beginning of increased communication, not just a band-aid for the problems at hand - they have thrown us a bone, and it's delicious, but we need to make sure they know that a one-time solution like this won't fix the problem. To extend the metaphor, we don't just want a bone now and then - we want our doghouse renovated! This is a great move on EA's behalf to show that they are willing to listen to and address the concerns of the Battlefield community, but nevertheless they need to commit to a permanent increase in the level of communication and transparency between the devs at DICE and the BF3 community.

I'm not flying you around again. I kept getting the chopper and waiting for you to spawn and got raped 36 times in the face and mouth. Find another pilot.

Yeah I figured I burned that partnership. Sorry about that You---->:nutkick:<----Me

Just drink slower or, better yet, start a couple hours later. Just a couple hours, ya alkie. :p

It's crazy how terrible I was at online games before I stopped drinking like a fish pretty much every damn day.

Yeah last weekend I started at about 5 p.m. and ended up skipping dinner
because the wife took off with my daughter shopping. Not a good combination.

Ah ha. There you go. See this exactly how I stopped being a drunk without having to go to AA and shit and/or be miserable and bored and mad at the world all the time. It was my first love anyway. One that won't kill me after ruining my life and relationships.

It wont get you drunk. It gets you high. It weird. I like it.......to much. I get my supply from friends that travel to Europe. The stuff in the US isnt the same. I mean it only became legal like 10 years ago.

ahhhhh the old "green dragon vodka" YUMMY. take your favorite 100+ proof vodka, throw all your weed stems and clippings in the vodka and let is sit for a week or more, then strain it, and have some awesome vodka shots. note that THC only dissolves in 100 proof or stronger alcohol

How are the latest Drivers doing in BF3? I'm still running the 11.11 drivers and wondering if I should bother with updating or not? I have no problems with any of my games on these drivers just wondering if I should do it.

As a matter of fact I think I will now.

I notice that your bottle is handily designed to "bottom" out after only so much penetration. Those Europeans think of everything.

Nice job. It's kinda boring at first but then you get into the game and find you are doing better (at least I sure did) which of course makes it more enjoyable all around. Next you could say ok no beer til I get a positive KDR two rounds in a row or some such stat. It's like a reward! :p

Ya Mayo wasn't around; I had to work late (and gotta go back tomorrow but not all day).

Blah blah balh :D By the way Wrig it didn't help. Though I had 2.4 K/D and blew 7 heli out of the sky and 1 plane. Not with TPU guy's though.
Brandon had me rollling tonight though. He was the funny ass drunk tonight. Good times, just didn't help my game much.Metro killed us all.
You know how much I love that piece of shit map. I was looking for you on Caspian.

BF3 + 6670 = 24 FPS at 1280x720 = very shitty gaming experience, that said i still had a few good rounds.

You weren't the only one who had a good round last night. Idaho asked me to join him for some heli time, but unfortunately, someone else got in the chopper before he could. Well, I'm not really sad to say that I'm glad that person did hop in, as i never touched the ground once the whole round:

Yeah which guys was the pilot? I may have to find him.
To stay in the air the whole round with out being shot
down is pretty damn impressive. Was it Furman the German ?

He can be a real pecker wad, though, don't expect any favors from him. He's more of an elitist player.

Another good round, thanks to Reayth's backup, and one unknown medic that revived me no less than 10 times:

Does MSI AB also record audio? None of my videos seem to have the audio but I've seen videos of people who use it (I think) and they have audio. I'm using 2.1 btw.

Nope. No audio.

Just an update. I found out that 2.2 is going to support audio as even the 12th Beta currently supports is.

:laugh: If he was the medic, maybe. I ran out of ammo so many times, and he was pretty much always close by. Can't really kill anyone without bullets and 'nades!!
