Not fragile at all, just bringing it up that a lot of people play games to not have abuse hurled towards their computer screen, which a lot of people would agree with, the same thing goes with this being a family forum and all, people come on here to discuss things, not to be treated with disrespect, or do you think otherwise?

Tbh mate I just play games on the internet and ignore people I don't like. Then I switch off my PC and think nothing more of it.
When playing CoD with a bunch of randoms and someone types that you're a **** or something, I think it's funny personally and enjoy the banter. But then I'm not particularly precious about that sort of thing.

We try to keep an eye on the language from players but it's kind of a grey area, do you kick everyone for using a swear word? It would be wrong for me to kick someone for that when I know that deep down, I've done it in the past. Not aimed at someone in particular but have typed something purely because I'm getting my ass handed to me
that said now I'm a nice round 26 years old I tend to just have a moan at the screen instead and go make a cuppa!I think anyone would agree that sometimes getting frustrated in a game can lead to things being said over the chat box. If someone spends their entire time on the server laying into people and saying every swear word under the sun then yes that's a different matter and we will actively warn, kick and ban if needed.
That said any racism or nasty comments like your mum jokes
will be dealt with in a much firmer manner and we will quite happily ban people who feel the need to start spreading that stuff around.As I've said before, if you screenshot any chat comments similar to the above or feel something just isn't appropriate, post them on our forums, we will happily red list that player and take action if needed.

Yes, well it reset most of my stats, battle log still shows my rank as 40 and all general and specialization unlocks there, though all vehicle and kit specific unlocks not showing, none selectable in game and rank is reset in game.
Yes will be back on my card within 5-7 days and BC3 is no longer in my Origin.
I would have prefered that tbh.
Three days after livechat opened a case saying they could not fix it, it would need experts, I had no response at all despite being sent the we will be back to you within 24hours. Got back to livechat and after being messed around by the first guy for a good half hour, with him telling me reinstalling it will fix it. *Sigh.
The next livechat guy tells me it is unfixable, so I asked for my rash refund.
I mean I couldn't bring myself to play the thing since my unlocks went."Boohoo."
I may contact them about the SQL script you mentioned, whether EA will reply at all through there email open a case thingy, who knows.
I had an 'interesting' game at the weekend.
It was in the early hours of the morning and the 32 man server I was on was emptying after a round. It ended up 3 versus me in the Bazar and instead of just quitting for another server I played on.
I then proceded to run from flag to flag capturing them and taking pot shots at the three guys that were chasing me and watching them trying to find me. I managed to avoid getting killed for ages and got a few kills myself.
I killed one of them near the end of the round and got some abuse in chat. That was the best bit. I've never played well enough to get abused on a server.

I pretty much suck at this game and I can't figure out why.
I've got a decent PC, running it at 2560x1600 on AUTO graphics settings (mixture of Ultra and High). It's not choppy but I'd also say it's not 60fps+ constant either.
The main problem I'm having, much like in Counterstrike which I've never been any good at either, is that I'm always finding myself in the wrong place at the wrong time, running into spots that the enemy knows I'm coming from, etc.
I'm also having real problems with friend or foe identification, leading to hesitation on my part, which invariably means I lose out because they don't hesitate.
Really don't know what I need to do to improve, but right now it's pretty depressing to end up mid-table every game with a barely positive K/D ratio. It feels to me like I'm the only guy on the server who doesn't know what he's doing, with everyone else - even people on single digit levels, like me - doing much better.

i generally save the swearing and noob calling to myself too. usually its more frustration against myself for getting killed noobishly rather that rage against the other person.

Its all about practice pal, knowing the maps, taking your time and not panicking.
I play this game on both my PS3 and PC and have issue when playing Conquest. I mean on TDM I am fine majority of the time finish top with over 20 kills a round etc etc. On Conquest tho I don't suck but I find that as the "squads" are more benefical here if you don't have a good squad you are doomed. A few times on console and PC I have been with my mates and some randoms and we have really worked well as a squad where as sometimes you just don't have that and you get creamed.
The best class I have found too use is the Assault. It gives you the weapons to use at all ranges tho more effective mid-long but also the chance to heal yourself. I am now working my way thru Engineer and Recon before I leave support till last.
Find a weapon you are comfrotable with, take your time, be composed and it will or follow.
Good luck.

Yea i have noticed people are getting little salty and rude at times, on Bronken server. but hey that wont stop me
Hey guys is there an OCUK server where I can constantly lose to OCUK's finest.
I'm very polite and never swear or call names even with I get one shotted for being a noob lol
There is an official OcUK Battlefield 3 server (second one down) but it doesn't seem to get used much. The other servers are the ones I have in my favourites and I tend to find lots of OcUK players on them.
Bronken-Gaming | OcUK | CQ | #1
Overclockers UK BF3 - Sponsored by Multiplay

Normally no but with the AN-94 I have recently.
In TDM I tend to have it set to full auto and other game modes I have it as burst.
In fact why that gun defaults to burst instead of auto boggles the mind, it's caught me out a few times!
I agree with this completely, Its the tollerance of this behaviour that allows it to get worse. Im not saying I cant deal with it or I get upset, its water off a ducks back after all these years online but I know deep down speaking to people like that for any reason is not OK.
Im not talking about people telling me im rubbish in a jet, this is completely true. Im talking about the people throwing personal insults , homophobia, casual racism, anti semitism the whole game instead of playing it.
Massive over dramatisation but :
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
sorry rant over

Nope. I just burst fire or single tap myself. Too much faffing around hitting a key to switch then remembering too hit it again. Plus if someone turns up out of nowhere and is at close range if I had switched fire mode I would then be at a disadvantage.
