Now I noticed that the process says bf3.exe*32 even tohugh I have a 64-bit system, might have something to do with that ?

You have the system requirements?

They're probably offline, don't worry! I just play metro frag fest when no one is on or the server is down, gotta rank up those shotguns yo.

Our teamliquid server is going up now.
It'd be really great if you guys pop in to idle, or simply mess around for some free points. Once we get 20 or so people, the server nearly instant fills from there.
soooo another newbie question. why would you ever use a scope besides IR as a friendgineer? it's not like you'll be sniping, and IR works really well on daylight maps too. i'm getting all these unlocks for scopes but i'm too attached to that comforting green and yellow color scheme now.
edit: if it matters, i strongly prefer the AK to basically any other gun. mix of b41 nostalgia from 1.6 as t and because AKs are so cool

I'm done, removing it from my favorites every time it fucking fills it dies than we have to suffer another hour with 10 people while one team dominates

I ask myself this every day. IR is dang brokeded.
Personally, I use irons on everything because I feel like I'm hacking with the IRNV and it just isn't fun. Scruples aside, I see no reason to use anything else on any weapon that's not a sniper or a shotgun.

So heres a funny IRNV story for you guys: 2 weeks ago my brother broke his arm (right/mouse arm). It was pretty nasty and he needed a operation and they put metal plates in his arm. He still barely cant move his arm without pain but today he wanted to play BF3 so badly, that he asked me if he could give it a try on my account anyway, so i let him. Needless to say he is very handicapped in his ability to aim, so i jokingly said to him that he should mount an IRNV scope because its so op that even he in his condition could smash some faces then (i was really just joking at that moment). Well, he did what i told him and finished the round on Kharg Island with a 11-7 KDR. We both laughed so hard after that and will always remember the IRNV as the InfraRedNoobVision, wich allows you to pwn even if your arm is broken.
In all seriousness i think this scope is too powerfull and will be nerfed at some point because you already see more and more players using it in all circumstances. I used it too for a while and had my best results in that time. But now i stopped using it exept on metro and damvand peak and occasionally when i want to win a close match so badly. The reason i stopped using it the whole time is because it ruins the beautiful graphics in the game and that is one of the main reasons i bought BF3. And i dont care too much about my stats or have too much of an competitive drive while playing BF3 (atleast not yet) to withdraw the fun aspect of the graphics(i hope you understood what i want to say) IRNV also weakens the sneaky/stealthy aspect of the game that i like, by that i dont mean camping. I have a too short attention span to camp (wich is why i never play recon). What i mean is the tactical slow pushing and flanking style wich would be much stronger if that scope would be taken out of the game or heavily nerfed. The scope allows you pretty much to run and gun because you dont need to slowpush from cover to cover anymore and checkout the enviroment for enemys. Just scan with your scope every now and then and youre good to go. I thought quite some time about this scope and how it could be fixed to benefit the gameplay in my opinion. Just taking it out of the game would be bad too because its a nice addition to the game and a interesting modern tool of warfare. From a gameplay aspect, having in mind that more teamplay should be the maxim we strive for, the best solution i could come up with was that IRNV should have its accuracy heavily nerfed or that it should be taken out but a IRNF binocular should be added so people could use it for better spotting but not shooting.
NV binoculars are an interesting idea, but I can't see it working too well. They're not the sort of thing you want to give everyone by default, so they would have to be a perk or gadget. Perhaps as a recon gadget it would be okay, even kind of nice... but at the same time I'm not sure it'd be competitive if I could have a MAV instead.
Personally, I think the scope should be an actual scope instead of a red-dot on LSD. If you put it at like 1.5x and gave it a significant ads-time penalty, that would be enough.
Noobs would still use it for ezmode spotting, but its run'n'gun would be nerfed to the point where you're better off in a straight fight with irons or a holo. That's all you need.
First time I will say this, "origin and ea are bullshit".
I formatted my pc, tried to install BF3 and I get an error saying to confirm the UAC windows prompt. Well it doesnt come up. I have tried everything, from administrator account, to removing UAC, disabling antivirus and Windows Firewall, compatibility modes in XP and Vista etc etc. (everything origin and EA has said that could fix it). They even go as far as saying "Try reinstalling your OS", well I just fucking did.
I usualy dont rage over stupid shit, but this is going a little too far tbh, EA is bringing all those Steam-ing pile of shit memories from the first days of steam back to memory.
