They are timeless.

Sure, amazing guns, but (other than the shotguns) antiquated rounds.

.240H&H
.300H&H
.375H&H
.400H&H
.465H&H

They all do the job perfectly fine. I mean they are originally custom rounds for custom guns. Do you expect to shoot commoner ammo in such elegance? lol

With that being said Ive always wanted one of their shot guns or.......a dueling pistol set but, I doubt I have a cool 5 million laying around.

[MT Alex]

None on that list would top any Weatherby round.

EDIT: I'd be your second, if Reayth was too drunk or in jail.

If it wasnt for .300 H&H Roy wouldn't have anything to work with. Give the devil his dues. Classic rounds will always have a place.

As for the second, I can't think of a classier way of going then a head shot from a 2.5 million dollar H&H. Of course if I had that kinda money the booze, drugs and woman would do me in faster then that bullet would

Anyone play MOH ?

[DannibusX]

My next gun, besides a new AR will be chambered in .45 Colt.

I'm thinking SAA, classic, classic, classic

if Reayth wasn't his second, than he'd be the other duelist....


BTW Reay, I'll be your second if it comes down to it.

I just played a round. Servers are empty. I do have a Platoon. I seriously "shoot me now"
Wish I bought Black Ops 2 instead. Warfighter is a step in the wrong direction. Backwards

No need for defensive response. This is a big world. Some people have small minds and don't realize we have more in common than different. I love French accents, and Indian, and Mexican, and African, and Asian, and Middle Eastern. They are all are brothers and sisters. I love many international cuisines as well. American food is often unhealthy and too bland. Love a little spice in my life.

Info on the vehicles in After Math.....Yep Scottish or Irish accent.

I wasn't being defensive at all, since the comment wasn't aimed at me, just stating my opinion, politically correct or not. Thanks for the "We are the World" response, though. I can't argue with you on the food aspect.

New Battlefield Blog Post: Inside DICE: Creating an arena for fierce competitive gameplay in Aftermath

[DICE] H Brun | 11.23.12 | 21 comments

While all four maps in Battlefield 3: Aftermath are themed around the same concept of a post-earthquake environment, they all play differently. In this map overview, we discuss how Talah Market brings fierce competitive gameplay into focus.

Team play is always at the forefront when designing maps at the DICE studio, and Talah Market – internally nicknamed simply “Rubble” – is no exception. A lot of the designers at the studio are big fans of classic competitive shooters like Counter-Strike, and some even have backgrounds as semi-professional or professional players. For Aftermath, we wanted to bring some of that old-school shooter tradition into the mix. Our goal: To create a fiercely competitive map where it’s kill or get killed. We created this blog-unique behind the scenes flythrough of Talah Market that shows some of its distinguishing features.



Symmetry brings energy
The way we bring competitiveness to the forefront is by carefully designing the map, deciding where to place walls, covers, streets, plazas, and buildings. One very important area for us was to make it as symmetrical as possible – the thought here being that symmetry brings a simplicity and with it a focused kind of energy into the game.

Symmetry brings an aspect to the gameplay that has always been important in competitive gaming: Once you learn the map, you know it by heart no matter where you are positioned on it. There are no real surprises in terms of the ways you can navigate the map – the challenge instead lies in using your skills within the clearly defined confines of the battlefield. It’s not necessarily “better” than the traditional vast and open Battlefield maps like Caspian Border or Operation Firestorm, but it’s a slightly different flavor of Battlefield.

The desired gameplay shaped how we built the map, rather than the other way around. We wanted to cater for the most competitive players out there by building a level with an extremely streamlined flow. So while the map Epicenter (that you could read about in this earlier blog post) is an exciting and sometimes unpredictable battlefield featuring post-quake tremors, Talah Market is free from anything that can bring an element of randomness to the game. The key to designing this map has been to provide exactly the right amount of cover options, and to make sure that the map has great maneuverability at all times.

Symmetry created some challenges that needed solving, though. Like how do you build a level that plays the same on both sides, but still has a varied look and feel to it? The answer in this case is that the level contains multiple art themes to make the different areas feel distinct from one another. The challenge becomes a bit more complicated than that, though. Traditional shooters have players spawn mostly on one side of the map, but Battlefield spawns work more like a grid, making it more unpredictable how the teams rotate in the map. With this in mind, all areas in Talah Market had to be built in such a way that they can function as standalone combat encounters.

Play it your way
The symmetry aspect shouldn’t be misread as an attempt to force everyone into playing the same way. Rather, we are making sure that the map encourages different play styles. If you enjoy sniping, there is a long street with an open area where you can make good use of your long range engagement skills. If you like big standoffs, the market and its courtyards will be great for mid-range encounters. In addition, there are very tight streets that form a maze with fast paced close quarters action.

In a way Talah Market plays more like an “arena” than your typical Rush mode “journey” (like Operation Métro from the base game, for example). This is the map where, more than any other, you play to show off your skills both as an individual and as a tightly knit team. The focus here is not on scanning a lot of areas for potential enemies, instead bringing focus back to the second to second firefight itself, and how to best use the easy to read environment.

We believe this map will be the perfect fit for players who like to be more competitive, where every step gained on the enemy feels like a victory in itself. When play testing the map at the office, there is always that intense tug-of-war between teams where you know that your every move matters.

We hope you will enjoy this map together with the other three we have created for you in Battlefield 3: Aftermath. This themed expansion pack is out this December and is included with Battlefield 3: Premium. You can also purchase it separately.

You are quite right. I took too much from the other fellas interpretation of the video.Though I am not a we are the world person except as regards my world view of working class oppression.

By the way there is a major glitch on the Origin server. I have been getting an error code and been unable to download BF III Premium nor Back to Karkand. I called them for 2 days and finally had someone who investigated and replicated the same error on a few of their machines. It will be a few days to correct. They did a buggy network upgrade apparently according toi the support person I spoke to.

Yes it can. Also it does damage to ALL vehicles and from what I have read, it does 91 damage per bolt to all air vehicles except transports and it only does 61 per bolt.

Had a funny moment earlier tonight while looking at helicopter videos on Youtube with a coworker.

"Dude check this guy out, he's a total badass with this helicopter."

"What map is he playing on? I don't recognize it."

"Caspian Border."

"No, that's not Caspian Border, I don't recognize the spawn point."

I turn in my chair, look him in the eye and say.

"That's because you play BF3 on the Xbox, my friend. The PC version is far superior. Were you aware that Caspian Border is a 64 player map?"

"Uh, there's a max of like 32 on Xbox."

"That means the PC version is twice as awesome. Just sayin'"

It can be twice as frustrating too If you get on a total shit team against a good organized
team you just get mowed down twice as fast. Or if you just suck like I do
Though the Graphic's, Map's and everything else is still far superior.

Good times.

[DannibusX]

I want to smash my computer to bits, I'm so frustrated right now.

I bought Premium, downloaded the remaining expansions and logged into Battlelog to play some BF3.

"An error was reported from EA Online"

Fuck you EA. It was working fine a week or two ago when I logged into play a little bit.
