And rockets don't have near the AoE that previous battlefield games had, or so it seems to me. They feel like they have way more AoE than in BF2. The only way you could get a kill with a rocket in BF2 was either direct hit or multiple rockets in close proximity. In this game and BC2, if you don't instantly kill them you will get guaranteed damage even if the shot isn't super close and then you can finish them off with the engineer's primary weapons, which feel way too accurate and have too much range (it's kinda ridiculous when a guy can get you from long range with a SCAR on auto before you can get him with an M16 in burst or single shot. The SMGs in BF2 were only good at really close range and were not very accurate, which made sense since AT was for destroying vehicles, not killing infantry). At least the rockets aren't as accurate in this game, in BC2 you could snipe anyone with the Carl Gustav in one shot and it always hit exactly where you aimed. Once you got good enough you wouldn't even need to bring up the aiming reticle and you could snipe people.
The thing that's surprised me the most is how so many people don't even seem to use firing modes. You go to engage people at long range and they fire at you in auto and waste a whole clip and hit you once while can kill them in two bursts. Guns like the AEK-971 are insane in burst mode because of how fast and accurate they shoot. Plus you save tons of ammo.

Im quite mad at EA right now. I bought the game and there are no dedicated servers for my country. I must play in BR servers that run like shit because of the shitty interconection between BR and AR.
The only answer they gave me was that sometime in the future I will be able to play decently.

Maybe people in Argentina should host some servers then? When did it become the developer's job to host servers in every country? Actually, when did it become the developer's job to host servers at all? Provided there's nothing stopping your countrymen hosting your own, an EA-owned box in your vicinity isn't really a right.

Patch 1 reveal. Note that it's not official patch notes from DICE, just some random game reporter, but most of it seems to be drawn from DICE's twitter etc. It's noticeably vague about what the actual aim change is, though. From random snooping it seems to have something to do with the game's built in mouse-acceleration.

So my buddy and I were thinking of ways to disable the jets of the other team for the whole game. What we came up with is, for example on caspian border, fly the gunship low around the outside of the map at the start of the game. Come in on their runway and I hop out, I'm always the gunner cause my flying skills blow, then proceed to put c4 in a line across the runway. I would hop back in before the 10 secs are up to reset the timer if I needed. Then you blow up the c4 and it leaves craters on the runway for the rest of the game causing the airplanes to blow up if they try and take off.
There you have it. Once you take down their jets there won't be anymore flying for the rest of the match. Then you only have to worry about the opposing gunship, which is far easier to take down then the jets imo. They removed or reduced cratering afaik. I've been having fun with c4 lately and I've never noticed it to leave big enough craters to hinder vehicles etc. Someone just told me about C4 + MAV though, gonna try it later, hope the C4 still sticks on the mav, that's gonna be a lot of fun if it still works
I don't think the C4 + MAV combo works anymore. You can dive bomb people with it though and get a roadkill.

Not sure im a fan of the AN-94 so far but i havent used it a whole lot. I thought it was the last weapon but apparantly the next one is a ''Russian acquired M16A4'' lol

Personally, after using both guns in the beta, the AEK-971 i feel is a superior gun. But each to their own i guess (I also hate the ironsights on the AN)

For the process manager does anyone else get Origin scanning every single file in the battlenet cache taking 20-30secs just fro that?

Great ive been waiting for the aim change more than anything else. The problem is the game has huge "negative mouse acceleration". Its driving me almost nuts otherwise the game is pretty fun.
-> neg mouse accel is when your cursor moves slower, the faster you move your mouse. Wich is much worse than normal mouse accel and that is pretty bad too.
EDIT: The UMP buff is good too. I unlocked the UMP last night and was very surprised that it was pretty crappy compared to the beta. I have to admit, beta UMP was probably a bit too strong but the way it is now, its pretty useless because there is no reason to use it instead of all the other weapons you get from the start.

new rumors emerge about bf3 being on steam
http://bf3blog.com/2011/10/battlefield-3-on-steam-according-to-new-evidence/
The new evidence comes from the latest Punkbuster update, which includes a new install directory at “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\battlefield 3\“, in addition to the Origin install directory. This is by no means a conclusive piece of evidence, but it does bring some hope in seeing Battlefield 3 on Steam in the near future.

Anyone else who feels that the Javelin needs a buff? You have only 2 shots and you can barely kill A tank with 2 shots, while you have 5-ish shots with the RPG. Also the fact that you have to stand fully visible aiming at the tank for 3 seconds for it to lock on and almost certainly dying in the process, while with RPG you can peek out from a corner and just fire.
absolutely agree on this. i switched back to rpg after like 5mins

^ use the explosives specialisation for extra ammo, get a support buddy too ^_^
Personally i cant wait for this game to mature slightly and retards to stop going mass sniper's in game, rush just isnt fun when 80% of your attacking team are sniping like fucktards. Well, at least when rcon comes online my clans server can and will limit snipertards :-) as well as RPG abusers who literally dont know what a bullet looks like.

Hey I get a little motion sick when I play this game (maybe because the graphics are too good and my mind can't tell game from reality). Does anyone else have similar issues and found a good graphic settings I can copy?

my only idea would be to turn off motion blur. i think that might cause a little motion sickness especially when you have lowish framerates. other than that i would suggest to just embrace it and let it add to the immersion lol.

Increasing the field of view (fov) might help as well. It's in settings.

Is there a european TL server?
if there isn't, is there anyone willing to admin one? 64slot servers cost about 55 euros per month. if there's 30-40 of us playing in EU maybe we could send money to someone via paypal and rent server for 3 months or something.

kk so ive been playing as a recon today. got my bipod with sv98, so im going good.
just then i was in the most average game. going alright but our team was losing.
the game was on canal. im prone as a recon at C when i hear a pang, and notice that there is a sniper back at the enemys spawn (the boat)......
.........ok? ive never done one of these before so lets long range fag fight.
first shot i miss.... i readjust, and BANGGGGGG 400 marksmen bonus.
at this stage im completely shocked going OWLOLOLOLOLOL.
but wait another sniper is on the boat,.. this time using the adjustment as before i fire.
ANOTHER HEADSHOT WOOOOOOO same bonus and points feeling twice as manly.
finally there was a guy on the boat doing circles for the chopper. i know theres no way i will hit him but i go for it.
first shot.. miss

Sometimes, I love it too. Then you have times like last night.
Spawn, 3 tanks instantly shoot you. Ok, you think, I got this, I'll go engineer. Yeah. Right. Fire 5 shots right into nearest tank. Tank backs up 3 feet and instantly repairs itself to 100%. F you.

Things i have found out. The highway map is terrible. Running around like a madman on conquest is bad. However, running around like a madman on HC mode leads to constant 15+ kill games. This is because everyone trys to camp and play safe and doesnt expect someone sprinting and flanking them, no map helps me a lot also. Also tanks are pointless there are 10000 ways to kill them and once you get in one you are basically adding a death to your name.
