I've uploaded short music video clip with a nice 9 man streak using AN-94 while also capturing one of the objectives on "Strike at Karkand" map. I feel like the music fits really well and also I was kind of trying to lift my team because the other team was getting the upper hand.
Video link:
I started this series called BF3 moments and tryig to upload videos every day.
Hope you enjoy this one. Let me know your thoughts.
my thoughts are: What are you trying to achieve with this video? if youre just going for a general gameplay video is a guy running around with an AN94 what youd wanna be showing? If that's the case I'm not sure if you'd wanna make one a day, maybe condense more video into something more substantial?
not that I'm trying to rag on your video or anything bro, I'm just curious as to what you were thinking when you made it and do you have any focus or plan involved? :/

I too would like to know what the point is. All I can think of is that it's a bragging video, at which point is must state that I'm unimpressed. A 9 kill streak hardly qualifies as "video worthy". You didn't even swap classes with a dead guy to carry on the streak... which IMO is a true sign you're on a RAMBO-esque spree.

lol. That's so true. Continuing your spree with a dead guy's gun is totally how you know you're doing well.
My favourite class in Black Ops (I know, CoD, so burn me) used a little pea-shooter SMG with like 60 rounds total, expressly so that I could get to a 5 streak, run out of ammo hilariously fast, frantically knife a guy, and then pick up his FAMAS and get another fifteen kills because now I've got a FAMAS, bitch. Nothing made me feel more like rambo than completing that sequence.
My greatest frustration in BF3 is how long it takes to switch kits with a dead guy.

Except for 1. he asked for opinions on the video. 2. I tried to provide some constructive criticism on the matter, I don't know why he made it nor do I know why he wants to make them. I think he should, making stuff is *awesome*, but it seems to me that if *I* were trying to do something similar I'd want to do it with a bit more focus -- hence the comment. I'm simply trying to get a dialogue going wherein I could hopefully provide him with some input (as a random possible audience member) w/r/t the whole matter.
Quite frankly, you white-knighting over the issue seems weirder than the comment I made originally.
I joined a server called TL-The-Lair-Gaming (something like that). Thought I play in the server just to check it out and then one minute later. BAM! Game closes and I have been banned saying I can't wear the same tag as them and visit their webisite or something. Then their co-leader messages me apologizing, so the following conversations takes place. Thought I would share because I thought it was funny.
hey man, im a member of a group that has also used TL tags, I sincererlyt apoligise, that i kicked one of your members tonight, i really wish no dramasa we are a group based from bf2, but had no idea anyone else was using similar tags there is only about 15 of is, i see you have a membership of 300=
You just want to know who banned me without a warning? I could have explained myself but no problem, ty for letting me know
Bustar51 03:06AM that was me, I am the leader of our group, and I tjoug you had hijaked our tags, as soon as I realised I unbanned you and sent a rquest to explauin, i me no drama soo I guess the question is will you allow us to carry on using the TL tag, we have a server we have worked to aboout 450 rank i dont wish to have any drama but i would like to use the TL tag? your bigger than us your call hang on, are you the clan leadr?
You no just a member but you guys will be ok
Bustar51 03:10AM ok sorry nvm
You we derive from a different PC game. how about you visit our website we wont ban you teamliquid.net
Bustar51 03:11AM sure whats that? ok
You 03:11AM lol nice talking to you
Bustar51 03:11AM thanks pal
You 03:12AM I'll post our convo on the forum tho, just so people know you guys are out there no drama of course
understandable on their part, nice that they unbanned you though
idk why he thinks he should change his tags lol :S

So what's the goal here?
Doubt he's bragging.. Sarkon posts his videos in here for views lol, pretty sure thats the only real goal since pretty sure all his posts in this thread has to deal with advertising his videos
Also DICE posted a blog saying that they've banned a lot of hackers and added in security to stop that stupid mass killing crap people pulled on servers. I'm glad since it ruined the games for both teams o_O
I just reinstalled this game for some reason. Constant crashes in multiplayer games, happens within the first 5 minutes. It was running fine two months ago, then I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows. All my drivers are up to date, makes me think this is a problem on their end or a problem with Origin. Anybody know what the solution is? A couple minutes on google led me to the answer "run it from steam as a non-steam game" - does this really fix the problem? If so, LOL at EA for making such a fail software. Specs are: Windows 7 32bit, AMD Radeon 5800 series, 4 GB ram... not that it matters much, this game was running flawlessly back in November on the highest graphics settings.

I had some pretty regular crashes and disconnects since beta, but then I bought a new router and the game hasn't crashed even once. Could be that... is it crashing, or disconnecting/not connecting? As a note: for some reason, it was especially bad with the Karkand patch and running the new maps, but is fine once I switched out my router.
If that doesn't work, all I can suggest is maybe adding more RAM, or upgrading to 64-bit windows?
Arrrrrgh, I'm living with three terminal CoD fanboys. I see no hope for recovery. I brought Battlefield 3 back from winter break thinking my roommates would be excited to try it. Sadly, I did not realize the extent of their CoD fanboyism. Out of my three roommates one of them has played it for around 15 mins and decided he didn't like it. The other two will have nothing to do with it. Even if it is already in the xbox (yes I play on console, i know it's better on PC but my machine can't run it) they will get up and take it out and play black ops or MW3 instead. It is so damn annoying. Even if I am playing and offer them a turn they say they don't want to play. It's like they don't want to betray their beloved CoD. It's absurd. I love BF3, but if my roommates are all playing CoD and they offer me a turn of course I'll play, even though I don't like CoD that much because it's better than watching. I just don't understand this phenomenon known as CoD fanboyism. I don't think there's a cure.
COD is more individualistic,with streaks proving that your achieving something tangible,unlike BF3 where even if ur doing great,your team may still lose the game.however I love BF3 when people actually play it like its supposed to be played.
Things like spotting enemy armor,10secs later a friendly heli comes in destroying it clearing your path forward...or when your squad actually work together,clearing enemy taking objectives/reviving each other like a well-oiled machine. Or when I'm in a tank I see infantry actually supporting the tank n clearing the sides allowing me to push forward like a boss because my flanks are secure,and people actually repairs me,for example on wake island,it's fricking great fun haha.
Those are the moments we live for when playing BF3. The greatness of the game revolves not on individual performances but everyone working together.COD fanboy-ism relies on the sense of instant gratification,and how awesome you feel when you go on a rampage solo and wins with a nuke.

My 2cents on BF3 vs MW2.5
Well said. My friends and I play together a lot and we usually take up 2 squad space and we communicate like mad on Ventrilo. We actually play like we're in a real combat zone too by spotting enemies, flanking, setting up traps, etc and we're at a point that we all have a specific role such as jet pilot, sniper, support, etc. Sucks how so many people are selfish and always wanting to lone wolf, be a stats whore, not cooperating with squad, etc. Seriously, it's really annoying when people in your squad are either full of recon or they're all using the same perk and don't want to do squad synergy. And of course, the legendary take a vehicle and drive away by yourself.

Imo, it depends on the format you are playing for that to be true. In 32 player modes, you can make a impact on a game that will win the game for your team. Like in 32 player rush on say serine crossing. If your killing everyone with your LAV to the point where your teammates can easily arm the m-com, then i consisder you winning the game for your team.
In the end, we can talk about this or that as to why CoD is immensley more popular than Battlefield 3. But at the core of it, I think it just comes to the simple idea that CoD is a easier game than Battlefield 3. And thats all there is to it. LoL > HON because people new to HON get creamed. LoL is a easier game with also a better system to cater to new players. Difficult games like Unreal tournament, quake or CS has no place in the main stream market today. Easier games will reign supreme each and every time no matter how much deeper the other game is. In battlefield 3, ppl get frustrated getting killed by vehicles cuz they dont know how to deal with them, they get frustrated when they get shot from all angles, they can get frustrated with a lot of things. In CoD, its such a easy to pick up shooter.
Hell even within the battlefield 3 community... Whats easily the most popular map with the most servers hosting a 24/7 version of it. Look at majority of PC battlefield 3 player profiles. And you'll discover that half the population play conquest metro only. And I mean ONLY conquest metro. Its a easy map to learn, theres nothing to do but shoot down chokepoints and spam explosives. You get easy points, you get easy kills, everything in that map is easy.
Look at what games are popular now and what type of games are popular now. Strategy and fighting games are a dying genre because they are difficult.
-trusting them to do things they can't do so you die -they jump into the tank MG and never stop firing EVER -they jump into driver seat as you try to repair your own vehicle -they spawn on you while you're trying to silently do something and then they start firing their gun and he lights up on enemy minimap -they spawn on you and get spotted -they spawn on you and block your view -they spawn on you and say "haey i like this spot i'ma camp here 2 LOLOLOL" -they are objectively worse than you are so if they spawn on you they literally are a liability -they give out a sense of safety since they're behind you, but then you get killed from behind -they fire at tanks they can't possibly take out and alert people to your position -they spawn on you while you're in a tight space and then you can't maneuver optimally -they spawn on you while you're in a tight space and you get a grenade thrown at you and then you die since you can't run away from it because your teammate is literally as dumb as a wall and as effective as one too -snipers give you away, red dot users give you away, flashlight users give you away
I work with my friends fine, but I refuse to work with teammates i don't know / can't talk to. Yes there are people who know what they're doing, but even if they do without proper communication all of the above still will happen and the games more funner when you can just play however you want without getting hassled by your own team by accident
i don't even like the squad system. It makes it harder to defend (I love killing 3 out of 4 people and then having to do it again) and it also makes it harder to attack since everyone is encouraged to flood in via one direction instead of multiple flanks since they all spawn together

Oh man what annoys me the most is when they steal my tank when I'm repairing it.nowadays I will go down with the tank then jump out repair for some idiots who will steal my tank.great if some random pubbies repair my tank.if not,fk it I'm going down with my tank.
Or when I'm behind enemy lines ganking/ninja capturing points,some idiots spawn on me with a non-silenced gun.i hear him fire I will be FKFKFKFK and start running away from him. But he will spawn on me again and again because I'm always in a good position.zzz. I wanna give those idiots a slap for being a fool.dun go behind enemy lines with a non-silenced gun damnnit.i don't mind u coming to help me,don't come and expose my position!
Last night i saw something funny. I was playing conquest on Damvand Peak and a guy on my team was using the mortar in the tunnel between B and C. The whole team made fun of him in the chat but he didnt realise. He was sitting there the whole match and probably asked himself why he didnt get a single kill.
Does anyone else but me have problems with entering games. Sometimes, like 1 out of 4 times which I think is a lot the screen goes "Loading" and is black and the game never comes up.
Then I alt-tab just to look at the game manager and it says "playing".
I end up just closing the game from the game manager via the "close" button and then try entering another server.

I want to add to that list (because all of those thing happened to me last night). Strangers in team games:
- Drive transport vehicles into mines, even when specifically warned about those mines in advance - Never pass out ammo/medkits or revive people near them, even when specifically requested of them - Put spawn beacons in the dumbest, most uselss place imaginable - Cannot fly helicopters, yet insist on piloting and subsequently crashing, especially if you are also in the helicopter - Never deploy countermeasures in a helicopter - Never spawn on a flag that is being capped by enemies to defend it - Never spawn on you while you are capping a flag to help take it - Never turn off their tac lights while in a group of friendlies, and insist on pointing it in your faces - Are completely oblivious to their surroundings, where you get knifed while standing right next to them with a motion sensor going off like crazy, then they still get knifed also because they have no clue as to what's going on around them - Think that machine gun bullets can kill a tank - When driving vehicles under fire from other vehicles, they just stop moving and sit there - Hop into your attempted jihad jeep as the gunner - Launch explosives willy-nilly while you are trying to aim your shots, causing major ground shaking - Blow up a piece of building above you, so it crashes down onto you and kills you (Sienne Crossing is bad for this) - Flies his jet/heli into your jet/heli - Sits in the anti-air gun at spawn not killing anything (or worse, blowing up friendly vehicles because they're bored) - Robs you of your Ace Squad ribbon because one guy on the squad goes 2-14 the whole round while you and the rest of your squad all have a K/D ratio of 3.0+ - Revive you before killing the guy who killed you, thus getting you both killed - Plants friendly mines in high friendly vehicle traffic areas, causing them all to go off from one stray grenade or rocket, killing only the friendlies in the area - Crouch in hallways and stay there, blocking all traffic
