until daaaveee (spelling? ) came with his rocket launcher and kill me the damn noob

Had a mate round tonight and was showing him the ropes, he can't believe how much better the game looks compared to his 360, he would buy it for PC but the problem is he hasn't upgraded since we built his PC for BF2 6 years ago!

Gave MSI Afterburner's video capture a quick whirl, its A LOT less demanding when recording than Fraps which means you can knock the recording quality up more. Heres a few quick clips from when I was testing it on the TFU 64 man server earlier.

Make sure to hit 1080p

I can't believe 2 or 3 or the 64 player maps are close quarter maps in a very small place. Sienne, the rainy one and one other

Damm it so are the 64 players not spread out like in BF2 then?

Just played for 2 hours or so. As others have said:
Maps are too small.
Games are too fast and frantic (COD syndrome)
Servers lag.
Game crashes every 2nd game.
So far no teamwork. Only one guy ever dropped me health. I drop it or ammo automatically any time my teammates stand still in case we come under fire.

BF:BC2 seems like the better game at this point IMO. That was also pretty bad at launch though, so I really hope things improve with BF3.

You can't be serious!?!

If anyones up for a few games, add me on battlelog (name in sig) and come into the battlelog chat for some teamwork!

Just added you mate.

I am loving the battlechat built in voice, i am also on teamspeak and Mumble but it's just as clear as both of them.

Marine Iguana · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:42

I have no mic that works.

Yet.

sirp · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:42

anyone know why my ping column is empty on Battelog and how to make them appear?

dakaiez · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:43

Just get a cheapo one, like the Steelseries clip on one for a fiver from the store.

Some of them are, but only a few. The bigger 64 player maps are nice but you can tell DICE has tried to balance them for 24 players on consoles and 32 player for PC and simply tagged on the 64. Pretty sad actually.

It's doing that for most people, seems to be a problem with battlelog.

Just make sure you have the filter set for European servers only then go by the names to figure out the country. Although not all mention it.

sirp · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:45

yeah, cheers that is what I have been doing, not just me then

Locky · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:45

Yes, but the 200 series graphics drivers provided by NVIDIA are crap... well, they are for me and my GTX295 anyway. Somebody I know with an ATI 5750 can play this game smoother than me.

youdsy said:
best i can do is medium with a nvidia 295 so....

What issues are you having? I'm running a GTX295 and whilst I have the dodgy shadows in SP, I'm nothaving any issues in MP. Everything on high, no AA, low shadows, no motion blur or HDAB.
