After earning 10 attack helicopter service stars using a joystick, I think I'm ready to convert to keyboard and mouse permanently lol.

After getting past relearning some evasion maneuvers, hugging the ground, and threading the needle thru tight spots to evade enemy fire, I'm stuck on how responsive and accurate it is 😀
 
Does anyone know what the hack is that lets you shoot anyone anywhere on the map?

That hack is killing the game for me. Apparently, punkbuster doesnt catch it. I have had to report 10 players in the past 3 gaming sessions for using it. One guy went to 100-1 before the server admin suspected he "might be cheating". The fact that he was shooting players all over the map from an aircraft carrier with a non-scoped 44 magnum w/ 100% accuracy rate apparently didnt give him away.

Perhaps all you hardcore i5 and i7 users won't notice....but cpu usage for my i3 2100 has went up basically since this update and gameplay has became very choppy as of this afternoon.
I just pulled out of a very choppy 64 player metro map and i had a couple other folks exclaiming choppy gameplay as well now.

I tried Metro in a 56 player map and caspian in both 64 player and 48 i believe and just very choppy and cpu usage has jumped up enough to basically render my i3 2100 obsolete in better words :awe:

mp1st.com - Battlefield 3 DLC Rumor

Battlefield 3 DLC Rumor – All American Map Pack
David Veselka. January 28, 2012 Battlefield, Battlefield 3, News

Today, we have a very interesting rumor coming from YouTuber, TheAustrianToast, regarding DICE’s plans for future Battlefield 3 DLC.

In a dual commentary with DCRUColin, TheAustrianToast revealed, ”I have a source telling me that there will be an all American DLC.” He added that these maps would be based on locations like “New York City, Miami, New Jearsey, and I think it was San Francisco.”

Before Battlefield fans get a little too excited, since his sources were never revealed, we have to consider this a fairly wild but rather likely rumor. Rather likely, because if we take a look at the recent Back to Karkand maps, they are already based on various cities in the Middle East. This also seems to be the overall theme with Battlefield 3 – environments within city limits, as opposed to Battlefield: Bad Comany 2′s more open environments. It would make sense for DICE to stick with what the Frostbite 2 engine seems to do really well.

TheAustrianToast later stated in this commentary, ”I mean, the all American DLC pack is a great idea and should actually come out middle, or in the beginning of summer.

Lastly, a while back, DICE mentioned that they weren’t into making “map packs,” but rather “expansions.” This would most likely mean that we would also see a new set of weapons, vehicles, and assignments much like the recent Back to Karkand expansion. On top of Battlefield 2143 rumors, DICE also considered the idea of a snow-themed expansion, something many Battlefield 3 fans have been craving since Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Make sure to follow MP1st on Twitter and Facebook for more Battlefield 3 news!

Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Does this rumor seem likely to you? Would you love to drive a tank down the streets of New York City in an all American themed DLC?

In the description on the video, the commentator edited in that he was wrong about SF, it is LA. I guess he is standing behind his comments...
 
Battlelog Update #5

By: JBRipley Posted: 16 hours ago

Here is the change log for Battlelog Update #5:
- The News section is now available without logging in.

- Changed browser detection to be less invasive (the yellow bar is no more). Instead, an inline popup will be displayed when trying to launch the game from unsupported software of devices, detailing what is wrong.

- Anyone who has played BF3 can now log in to Battlelog. Previously an Online Pass was required.

- When getting disconnected from the game, the Game Manager will display a "Reconnect" button.

- The game server detail page will now display the server description and server message, if available.

+ lots of bug fixes

Try opening up the Windows Task Manager and disabling stuff that you don't need while playing BF3...

I normally disable most non system applications and my virus/adware/spyware scanner, windows common event manager, MS security...etc

Sometimes it may be an application that you recently updated that starts taking more system memory or CPU resources...

When BF3 is open,only origin,2 tabs of chrome are open at most and msi afterburner along with fraps,zero else is running.

But the problem is fixed as i just went out and purchased a 2500k and overall performance is just so much better.:thumbsup:
 
Ok i have a weird problem.

I downloaded and used that BF3 settings Editor program to change settings outside game. But ever since then SLI is disabled every time i go in game. To enable it i have to go to graphics settings and change something and it comes back on (Like change to low back to ultra or any settings). What is weird is it revert back to disabled every time the map changes.

I restored defaults in game and in the settings editor program but still doing it. Uninstalled the program still doing it. :/ I did not change any graphics settings within the program to, just key bindings.

Before this program SLI worked perfectly.
 
2500k@4.5 and a 6950 unlocked to 6970.

I usually play on high @ 1080p. Yesterday I noticed a few more slowdowns in performance when playing on Golf of Oman. I'm not sure if its related to the issues others have had.

Gulf of Oman is easily the most demanding map in the game. Huge map, with lots of aircraft, heavy vehicles, and falling buildings. It's the only one I've noticed serious slowdowns on that affected everyone.
 
I just had a very interesting experience with a game admin on this server...http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf...38-4e60-8f27-acc87847baf1/FaRT-Conquest-MAPS/

So i join this map and i get a couple kills in then i am in the base i decide to beat someone to the choppers gunner position.This guy then basically asks me to jump out and as i haven't been in it yet i decide i want to gun.

What happens me next blows my mind it happens to be some bossy admin who wants to hog the gunners position and he forces me out the copter by killing me by command...then i respawn exclaiming"must be nice to have those abusive admin privs huh" and about a sec later i am kicked with this message...

"Game disconnected:you were kicked by a admin.stated reason:YOU WERE TOLD,NOW FUCK OFF" i even took a jpg,should i report this admin?Thoughts?
