WTF is that crap, anyone from DICE can put Sniper scopes on any gun? Looking through all of my LMGs I see those scopes now, and they weren't there days ago?



I assume every single Ea game that releases till the end of time will be using Origin from now on. And every single BF will be using Battlelog. So no more EA games and no more Bf forever? I'm not a huge fan of Origin, but it's not like that extra process is killing my computer. And Battlelog is fine, I don't notice any real difference between it and an in-game browser.

They are testing some of the add-ons for guns that did not originally have them. Some of the community was asking for a few of the sights and such to be added to a few weapons. If you did not notice, they took the UMP-45 extended clip option away because it does enough damage to be an assault rifle at close to mid range. So all the carbines and PWD got short clips and only the low damage ones get an extended clip such as the MP7, PP-2000, etc.

I would also like to thank Scrizz, Triptex, and PVTCaboose for the matches we had today. Yesterday was a horrible day for me and those 5 straight rush wins made we feel much better. Working as a squad, watching out for each other, the whole 9 made the game much more fun. Here is 5 straight Ace Squad ribbons!

I don't know that the big deal is with origin, like others have stated, you don't need it, just launch the game and use battlelog to pick a game type. That easy. Now, does anybody know how to turn off all the notifications when somebody is on or offline? Cause with so many of you in my friends list on both origin and battlelog, gets a little tedious.

That fact might just stop me from buying it altogether. I will see, i might crumble in a week or so, but i don't know.

To be honest, a major part of this game seems to be the unlocks, some people just seem to play it just to get them, never mind the whole point of the game is to enjoy it, not to see who can get the most uber leet unlocks. no offense to anyone but if you only play this game for that reason you are an idiot.

i wouldn't mind but i think We are stuck with the clip art they give us on battlelog

Maybe we can get Dice to let us have ours added. ^_^

trying to get the server started jump in if you can^^

[erixx]

Ok, nuf said, back to the 'field!

[EastCoasthandle]

Mouse issue found. Not a full list by any stretch of the imagination. But one thing that seems to have been found is the odd negative mouse acceleration. Which isn't negative at all but a limit to interpolated time of movement. Not sure if that will be corrected or not.

Regarding some problems PC players have been experiencing with the mouse, it seems DICE has “found the issue thanks to your guys’ threads. Sneaky bug.” Apparently, “it’s a code thing, not a setting. When [the mouse] hit the cap for movement it interpolated time of movement instead of distance.”

No, i agree with you. That is not the reason to play, for sure not why I play. To me its the only game with real team spirit or whatever you wanna call it, where it rewards people for being helpful (health, ammo, fixing, sacrificing, etc...), not just killing machines or camping snipers. I play for the team atmosphere. Also, what other game combines a flight simulator, team death match, objectives, etc... I do miss the commander and blowing up the UAV, radar, artillary, though, gave more tactical feel.

I didn't want you to get turned off by the game if you got in late and felt you couldn't do anything against vehicles or other players. It doesn't matter if you don't have the top unlocks, but sure helps to have your paddles to bring people back, and C4, you know the needed stuff to be helpful. Hope you do come back and join in.

I second the motion!! I have killed punks with unlocks when i did not have any. For example, if they have flares as a jet or copter, just wait and fire one rocket then wait and fire the second. Gets them almost every time.

[newbsandwich]

Would it be alright if a friend of mine joined the platoon? He had never played PC games before, and I got him to give up playing fps on the consoles after trying BF2 and BC2 on my computer, and is now a BF fan. So he doesn't know any other peeps that play on PC.

He is pretty good at BC2, goes by KingRyan. See if you guys got his tags, and how many.

Not if they are good. Helicopters nose gunners can pop flares. So even if you had a bunch locking at once, flares from gunner will disrupt them all, the retarget and lock, pilot pops his, then gunners are almost off cooldown, if they are far enough out, the nose gunner can flare the 3rd lock on rockets before they reach them. And jets, lock on, they flare, relock (if you are using rockets as engineer they will probably out range your lock on) and they move so fast they can cover the map even with rockets following them, then pop the flares, and swoop back towards you(last scenario is using AA tank rockets since it has the longest lock on range). A great pilot is extremely hard to shoot down, best bet is to wait till they have committed to killing one of your pilots them try the lock and force the flares then relock and fire and hope they don't just run, hope they commit to that kill and die to your rockets.

Known unaddressed issues with Server R5

Spoiler

Here is a short list of the most critical bugs in Server R5, which are currently not covered in the manual:

* The game server is not able to run any gamemodes in up-to-64 players mode. Here is the current number of max players:
Conquest - 32 players
Conquest64 - 64 players
Rush - 32 players
Squad Rush - 8 players
Squad Deathmatch - 16 players
Team Deathmatch - 24 players
This will be changed in future server releases.


* There have been a lot of questions regarding join queues and reserved slots. The join queue, and reserved slots with them, are currently disabled while we are weeding out other problems with game servers.
Both will be enabled in the future.

* There are problems with the game server kicking players willfully. The message "You were kicked by an administrator" is a catch-all phrase - it means that the game server disconnected you, for whatever reason (idle timeout, PB kick, real admin kick, ...). We are working to improve in each of the areas, and to get more descriptive error messaging in place.

Now there are many smaller problems present as well. The above is the list of the most frequently encountered ones.

How do i uninstall/trash the alpha/beta from Origin?[/QUOTE]

Spoiler

After you uninstall it, the icon remains in Origin. Here is how to remove it.

Head over to: "C:\ProgramData\Origin\InstalledGames.xml"
Search for Game GameID="71171" and change "hidden="0"" to "hidden="1""
No more BF3 beta in origin (you need to restart origin)

GameID for the Alpha..."71170"

[DanishDevil]

UMP-45

To hide the Alpha if you don't have a 71170 line: Add this line:

    <Game gameID="71170" lastPlayed="0" hidden="1" favorite="0"/>

[erixx]

thank you Gullie as always, I just learned in your links that the basejump in 'peak' is a rush map... I saw it once and didn't know how to repeat!

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah saw that at Reddit last week but decided to keep them as mementos.

I don't think I turned morpho off, I will check. Are you using 11.10 preview 3 and cap 4. Do I need to do anything with cap 4? Do I just install it and leave it or do I need to somehow enable it.
