Irish mob?

Anyway we gotta stay on topic. So talk smack but include something BF3 related.

Does anyone know when the next content drop is?

On my birthday I think I found my new favorite beer. I need to drink and play BF3 again. My wife is planning a trip to her aunts again soon so if you remember what it was like with her away..... BE PREPARED FOR ROUND TWO!

BF3 + Beer + no wife + TS = EPIC GOOD TIME!

For those who wonder about WC, last night it was has hot as I ever remember it being in my house, you could have trained Luke Skywalker in my crotch. Anyhow, here's the temps for my session with Phenom, Dave and G8tor. Read 'em and weep.

So I am very used to fast paced sniping on BC2 ala Enigma. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blp_ol4nvDg

In BF3 they have sort of ruined that. You have to use steady scope, which takes a moment. Fine.. I can live with that.

My problem is I can't find anywhere to bind the steady scope key. I've been using Shift (which is also my run key) but then I can't crouch (CTRL) and steady scope at teh same time (my pinky isn't my thumb).

The only acceptable button I can find to use for this without completely throwing my game off is my spot button (which I bind to E). The problem is.. when you hold down spot, you get the communication rose. This doesn't allow you to fire. Has anyone found a way to seperate these commands so I can use spot and steady scope at the same time? That is the only way I am going to be able to enjoy sniping again =(

As posted in your other thread


I dont see how jumping air headshots should be in the game in the first place. a sniper is some one who recons a area and takes patient and well aimed shots not jumps around like tigger from winnie the pooh and randomly takes shots.

I still had to dump my OC to shave off a few degrees in the case or BF3 would eventually crash, at least last week when it was 100+ for days in a row. Though I also have a super hot stock cooled GTX 480. But, yeah, I would be really hurting with air cooling on my CPU as well.

You can change the crouch option from button down to depress button, that way you tap the control key to crouch, then tap again to stand up. It would take some getting used to, but would solve your dilemma.

So they are higher than mine!!!

Yeah.. I went through this and it really doesn't work the way I want it to. I'm used to using crouch as an evasion tactic as much as anything else. I like ducking at the last second before I go for a kill shot =P My playstyle makes this very difficult to play toggle.. I play untoggled zoom as well.

My buddy insisted this would solve my issue but I couldn't enjoy playing with toggled crouch =(

Thx for the suggestion tho..

Then you should feel right at home as a Recon in BF3, eh?


Oh, by the way, WWBF3JD?

We should all feel at home playing Recon. We are all Homo sapiens.

ZZZZZiiiiiing. Seriously tho, did you watch the Enigma video? That is more in line with how I want to play Recon.. I don't like prone.. I don't like standing on high ground and sniping until I get spotted.. I like AWP/Deagle running thru a team quick scoping and head shotting with my sidearm. If I were prone dup on a hill somewhere I'd be using spacebar as my steady scope.

Still Recon contributes nothing to the team.

In BC2 They certainly do. Blow up tanks with C4, holds positions better by long distance clearing of incoming targets, and THEY ARE l33T H4X0ZTZRZz.

Seriously tho, I have a lot of fun playing that playstyle. And when I am 63-10 and leading my team in points I am pretty sure it contributes =P

BTW I just started playing BF3 this week, and so far I am sorta on the fence and a little annoyed at this whole Recon process. I am actually complaining that they are "forcing" me to play Recon in the camping, I just sit here proned doing nothing useful for my team kind of way.

I noticed.. it is slightly disappointing in that sense =P I am a big fan of the aggressive recon experience, I think playing normal style recon is borrrrrrrrring as all hell. I've been just playing assault in the meantime since it's so difficult to play recon the way I want.

So anyway.. has anyone found a fix for the Comm Rose removal from spotting? =D

You want a challenge? Play the Engineer. Also I like you. You can come over and f@#k my sister........why don't you come on TS? Someone plays nightly man. When we squad up on TS we own.

If used as recon such as mav spotting for squads is great.

Crap.
