I picked it up last night and see some of you on. I have not figured out how to attach a clan name, otherwise I would have had [ATOT]. I believe I seen Paqster, Jshmuck, CoolZero and I think a few others, but those are the names I remembered. I couldn't see where I could adjust my clan tag or even my name. One thing is for sure: I suck at this game.

Graphics are glitchy at times. I turned them all to 'low' and have the latest drivers, but one certain map causes texture glitch. Difficult to explain. I turned it back up to ultra since it had no affect on aleviating the problem.

Graphics are also a bit dissapointing. It seems that simply added a grain or a haze to make it look 'more real'. Not a fan of the affect... In fact, asside from accurate lighting and accurate shadows, I think 'low' looks really good, not much worse, asside from the lack of AA.

Game is fun though. I just need to get better so I am not at the bottom of the score chart.

Question: Can you get a stinger in this game? I'd like to be a soldier that can shoot down jets and chopters and destroy enemy armour.

Origin Tag = GabeGrinstead

 

[Zargon]

engineer can get the stinger as a unlock

clan tag is in your profile

I think I prefer the 32 player servers. 48 and 64 player games, especially on the small maps like Seine are starting to get on my nerves. I got spawnkilled 6 times a in a row at one point. They need some bigger maps to make 64 players work, even Firestorm and Caspian can be a clusterfluff.

To add a tag you need to modify your battlelog profile, there will be a section there to add one.

Yes, you will unlock a stinger, but with all the flares in use now good luck hitting one!

It is hard to kill pilots whom know what they are doing but you can usually scare them off anyway. Just lock on to them until they retreat :awe:

Hey Demo was that you in our squad (JTsyo,cinderhippo,incolorinred) last night? We had some good runs. Dice's decision not to have in-game VOIP for the squad is a huge minus.

Maybe, I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention to it last night.

Keep in mind that you're not seeing everything in DX10. Also, there's a known nVidia low terrain detail bug on its DX10 cards:

"...even though the 200s throw up some reasonable performance numbers (especially the GTX 295), they’re not doing as much work. The game automatically dials Terrain Quality down from High to Low, yielding some pretty nasty artifacts as shadows interact with the environment."

Source: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/battlefield-3-graphics-performance,3063-3.html

"I’m not sure what’s going on with Nvidia’s Low Terrain Quality setting in DirectX 10, but it looks really bad. AMD’s Radeon HD 4870 didn’t exhibit the same artifacts, so I have to assume this is fixable in software. Until that happens, I’d be inclined to stay away from anything in the GeForce 200 series or older."

Anyone thought about creating a squad, and then switching back to Battlelog to create a voice party after the fact? Frankly, given DICE's past VOIP support, I'd like to know if voice even works in voice party.

The voice works well for the party. Just a pain that it's not in game. Not sure how you would add those not in your friends list.

Also we figured out how to get into an empty squad. Everyone leaves the squad they are in, then pick the one you want and pick join. The first person will get the need 2 player message but when the second person hits join, both should go into the squad.

I'm also very interested in the squad gameplay and communications. I may friend some of you guys to link in voice chat.

Sidenote - does a defibrillator revival remove the kill count? I notice some of my kills never show up.

Uhhggg. Sorry, sig is out of date. Good information though. I am running a 460 GTX 1GB. SLI as of tomorrow... So I don't think that is my problem. It was only one map giving the problem.

Hey all - just thought I'd get your thoughts on the map lineup last night, so we can give JSchmuck2 some helpful feedback. Here's a guide to the maps: http://bf3blog.com/battlefield-3-maps/

I was only on for a bit, but here's what I found:

(1) Seine Crossing Conquest - no lag or other gameplay issues
(2) Noshahr Canals Conquest - no lag or other gameplay issues
(3) Grand Bazaar Rush - serious gameplay issue related to map design causing bottlenecks, IMO.
(4) Caspian Border Conquest - server lag experienced by me and others
(5) Kharg Island Conquest - no lag or other gameplay issues (but was this when the server crashed?)

I can't quite remember when that server crash occurred - I was in a squad with Zargon (playing terribly, I might add), and we all got dropped and I restarted and ended up with WacoJohnnieDean (we rocked - especially Waco - but we lost every round).

A target that gets revived does not count as a kill.

At least, I'm 99% sure that it doesn't hehe. I've been revived and not taken a death count, so I assume the same applies for the kill count.

There was a discussion of this back during the alpha stage. You definitely don't receive a death if you're revived, but the belief back then was that the person who downed you still got a kill.

I haven't kept track of this while playing, but because there aren't separate scoring opportunities for downing and killing a player, I'd assume that the kill isn't taken away if the guy you downed gets back up. It should, however, save the loss of a "ticket" for the team, as it has since the BF2 days.

Just keep it locked until they release flares, then shoot them down. I get tons of shoot downs on choppers. Jets are harder though.

I like the bottlenecks in Grand Bazaar, gives rising to some awesome firefights. Since the vehicles can't enter the middle of the map, the two sides stall until one is able to leap frog up and gain control. Of course most times no on watches the back and you can get a few quick kills by flanking the position.

Sometimes when I run out of Stingers I still aim my launcher at them to get the lock to scare them away - its even funnier when I see people panick and crash their chopters or jets trying to get away from the stinger lock...:biggrin:

Yeah too bad you don't get assist points for that. ^_^

Whats funny is as a squad we dominated, and our individual numbers were usually top 3-5, but it didnt seem to matter as we lost by significant margins. hahaha They didnt feel like losses until the game said we lost.

Mumble server added and Origin names updated. Get on there and start yapping =)

 

[akahoovy]

Thanks J, I appreciate it.

I guess I'm going to be looking for another favorite gun, PP-2000 still seems toned down significantly from beta, even when I have the extended magazine now. Head-shots make it a fast killer but body shots seem to do way less damage.

Engineer guns seem very strong, don't know how many times I've been gunned down a little bit further out than mid-range by a Scar.

I also added the TrueBalancer plugin to keep the teams even. It's just taken me this long to figure out precisely how to do that via Branzone.

I play a little BF3 right now as my video card is holding me back. Hoping to swap out my GTX280 for a GTX560Ti in the near future.

Sweetness! Thanks for doing all of this J!
