My server starts to get choppy once it hits about 55 people or so. =/ I understand almost all servers are having trouble with Tehran Highway.

While we're waiting, I'd love to hear your thoughts on map rotation :)

Don't put operation metro on conquest in the rotation. Especially with 64 players the Russians have a huge advantage since they have a straight path to the middle flag while the Americans have to go up escalators blind.

"This is a confirmed bug with the current server build. We have been informed by DICE that they are currently working on a fix."

We got raped in metro :)

Can anybody help with a bad stutter on a nvidia GTX460. I move a bit and then the game sets me back to where I was. Makes it hard to kill you guys!

Edit- Changed to BF3 beta drivers, so far so good

My server is up, search for Free Beer and Wings.net and it should pop up. Located in NY, 64 man conquest, no metro nonsense. :)

Played for a bit yesterday following CVIN around. The others in the squad weren't quite sticking together. Seems half the squad needs to be engineers on maps with vehicles.

Had fun playing on the texas server last night. Vehicle control has certainly been smoothed out since the beta. The choppers control quite a bit better as well.

But the server REALLY needs auto balance teams turned on. There was often times where one team had 4 more players than the other.

Not sure why it never got picked up by quick match, though: does it have to be at least half full for that or something?

Agreed. They're going to have to buff the AT weapons or can the auto repair. I went like 1 for 20 against tanks yesterday. Not only are the weapons slow to reload, they also seem to have a delayed fire. I can get near a tank and press fire only to have the tank round hit me before I get the rocket off.

Origin/Battlelog - Pyro-Compulsive

I will apply to the Anandtech platoon tonight, and favorite the servers mentioned in this list. Looking forward to playing with you all and getting some real team play going on. Guess I'll have to set Mumble tonight as well since that seems all the rage these days. :p

They buff themselves, once you hit level 11 (EXPL perk). So close...

...yet so far away when I get barely any points for all my rocket strikes!

Disabled a few vehicles and blew up one that had been pummeled by teammates, but I did not once successfully take on a tank by myself, even in hiding. The rockets have some wicked "bullet drop", which also makes long-range tank hunting impossible.

On the other hand, I had good luck knocking pesky MAVs out of the sky with the IGLA. By the way, why did DICE make it possible to be run over and killed by a MAV? That really should be scratched - it's totally ridiculous and way too COD-like. Here's some info in case you haven't been butt-pirated by a MAV yet: http://bf3blog.com/battlefield-3-mav/
