Whens the next one coming out? And did you cover number of C4s required to destroy a tank in this first one? I don't think so but I thought I saw someone comment that you did and there's a lot of conflicting info as to whether it's 2 or 3 and how exactly Maintenance and/or Reactive Armor affects this.

I did cover it but it was Hardcore =\

I am going to redo the C4 Tank Myth because I was on HArdcore, But not tested with Armor or Maintenance. just regular

I'm polishing up the video tonight and will be uploading it tonight so either it will be ready tonight or in the morning

Hey Fhrope, thanks for the entertaining video! Looking foward to part 2, but most importantly, :toast:

Welcome to TPU! :toast:

We hope you'll stay a while (and listen)!

So what? We don't need to be comparing the two games. They are what they are. I'm pretty sure most people in this clubouse don't care about CoD since this clubhouse has nothing to do with CoD.

I have cod bo and bf3 to me bf3 is a lot better more realistic then cod bo and looks better but cod is a lot easier for me lol I get 30+ kills easy but a bf3 is more fun just need more friends to play with haha

Anyone playing to night around 12am central ?

Sounds good. I am curious but actually it doesn't actually matter because my first attempt with C4 on an AA tank I placed 2 and only disabled. So regardless I'm always throwing at least 3 now.

You'll get more used to BF3 and get better. There are a lot of little things to know, and various tactics and possibilities that come with more experience. I mean, there's even bullet drop. COD seems to be all about running around Rambo with guns and getting a high KDR, Battlefield is a lot deeper and more complicated and varied than that, especially BF3. It's goes beyond the vehicles though they are a large part of "it".

I'm really amazed on how well my laptop can run this game, it is so damn smooth that it makes me think twice on whether I need a desktop at all .. but I know I'll get the itch to play the game with ultra settings and 60fps on my 27". The low settings in this game is much much much more tolerable than the low settings in BFBC2.

Well that is nice to know. I am currently away from home for a couple days and am really having BF3 withdrawals. I just asked the front desk here at the hotel and they said they have no download cap, so I am downloading now to the lappy. Download speeds are alright at 1 mb/sec. Should be playing tonight on the lappy. I am curious how well it will perform (i5 M560, 6 GB Ram and a GT 420M). It sure won't be the same as my main rig, but oh well.

Awesome, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DytmkFVMN5U

It is a Mobility i3 CPU and a GT 420 playing the game smoothly in Caspian Border, mind you this is beta so the driver etc should be even more optimized now. To top it off the video had fraps running lol.

What settings in BF3 are you using on your laptop?

using low atm but haven't tweaked with the settings I am sure I am able to turn up some settings to medium or high. I get like very high 40's up to high 50's, I'll probably put a 30 fps lock on it though to retain gameplay smoothness. But picking up my 6950's, again reference this time, today from the store so probably won't get too much time to play with it.

To all aussies out there ITestate.com.au is awesome, they offer credit requests meaning you could go back and get a refund with the exception of 10% restocking fee and no price protection. I've been able to upgrade to the newest video cards very cheaply by simply returning my cards even months after use.

Yep, I can run about 1.0 K/D on COD's , but I'm running a .38 on BF3. I'd play this or BFBC2 any day before a COD game. Though COD 4 is probably one of the best releases ever. Hoping this will take its spot.

brandonwh64 · Nov 4, 2011

Anybody know that program that you can turn HT off without restarting windows, IT was in another BF3 thread but I cannot find it

I don't think anyone here will deny any part of that statement. CoD 4 was an exceptional game, after that they dipped severely in quality.

i dont know kurgan i feel map design was superior in Bad Company 2 not as visually appealing but more balanced and more fun for sure. Hoping that Back to Karkand isnt full of fail.

I agree completely, not sure if it came across otherwise. Was talking with Ufgy earlier and think he feels the same way, BC2 map design was better. I think they force the maps to rely on people using prone.

A map like Tehran Highway has so much potential. But with the center of the map having little cover and being on low ground and the outsides having a ton of cover, it just becauses a Snipers dream and funnels everyone to the outsides on opposite sides.

Or Seine Crossing, almost every single time I play that RU own their 2 flags and US does as well, usually RU own C as well, otherwise very little deviation between games. Crossing the river is too slow, and going over the bridges is once again just a funnel effect.

Grand Bazaar you see some base rotation on the outskirts, but it's basically a Square with a cross in the center. All that map is, is funneling. At times it can be fun, but it is the definition of Battle Corridor.

And Metro is the samething. The team that starts outside usually holds their flag and B. They got the best points to sit at to hold the bottom team out. Hold the side stairs, the back stairs, and the front stairs. And if the bottom team wins, they push you back to the hallways running outside. Thats the two possible scenarios, I haven't ever seen it play out any other way. One team dominates on point B, the other gets pushed back to those points. Sometimes B's owner switches and the other team instantly is forced back to those points.

BC2 that crap never happened. If you lost a flag it's not like there was this set point you would be pushed to. Because you could just attack from all sides, they had to watch for flankers. There wasn't as much cover, but it was better positioned to prevent so much damn camping. The map design this time around really just disappoints me. I do really hope Karkand maps after the redesign somehow aren't plagued with these design flaws. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying BF3. It just seems a bit too campy for my personal tastes.

I would, but it has more to do with rotating spawn bullshit. Wars are fought on fronts, this isn't ring around the rosie.

I hated COD4 before the copy cats ever came out. So hating the rest came naturally. (And I did own COD4 and WaW)

completely unlocked the main battle tank!

unfortunately the citv station is not as awesome as i hoped. basically it adds a 3rd seat from which you can lase targets. nice to get a ride at map start. otherwise needs a decent tank driver with guided shell, then you can pwn air and ground

I was looking at your stats today, looks like you been tanking a ton. Can the laser gunner actually aim high enough to tag planes? And if so, do you need to lock onto them like tracers in BC2? If so I can see that being a bit of a challenge unless they are far out since the barrel can only go so high.

anyone know of a good single ear mic/headset so i can join you guys in teamspeak??

reason I got tired of cod bo was I get tired of being # 1 most of the time even in tdm if my team was bad I still had a lot of kills sometimes we won cuz of me lol then I got all the perks pros and gold guns wasn't fun anymore

idk what my kd even is but u can add me xxXDOMXxx anyone can if they want haha
