It makes the situation so much worse. It encourages people to go for the easy option, takes away most of the skill and pretty much kills off any customisation in setups. Have to be grateful to those that dont feel the need to use it though. Cant see it staying in its current state for long.

So RPG's and grenades should be removed as well? I die a lot more from those being spammed than anyone sat with an IRNV scope... Using the IRNV scope has made me realise that I am not safe in the shadows, so I don't lurk there anymore and keep moving. They're no more of a nuisance now than any other weapon. If they do get removed\nerfed all you will get is more people camping as it would now be safer to do so

but if are within about a 45 degree (maybe higher) arc in front of them, it wont work, even if they a laying down.

Nah, I've been stabbed whilst shooting the chap in the chest after he ran straight at me, I wasn't a happy bunny! Of course lag may also have come into play.

QUESTION :

Is Fov adjustable now for both Multiplayer and single player?

Yes, click on screen adjust to make sure your screen is maxed out though.

I think it's a minimum FOV of 60 and a max of 90.

They are far more of an "issue" in game than IRNV. They ruin maps, IRNV is a mere annoyance in comparison.

Just got thermal for my AK74u.. Bring it on campers!

IRNV is just the "lets all hate on this" item in BF3 currently. Yeah it's a tad overpowered and needs changing like adding a glint/max distance of 100m or less, but more so than a jets guided missile? or a jets flares/stealth combo? or RPGs vs. infantry? or the fact both medium and heavy tanks have thermal optics too but they are seemingly kosher as no one hates on them?

Lol at the recent posts.

Lander, the proven hacker, dares spout about TFU. Ah, freedom of speech/the press

We are constantly updating rules etc to try to make our servers as enjoyable as possible for everyone. We had an hour long argument yesterday about the use of mortars, for example.

Anyway, enough time given to a massive troll. Jog on son

Parharhar are you still talking about me guys? Wonderful times.

Doesn't change the fact that your servers are poorly administrated. Not because of me, I accept that I'm never going to get on but all I ever see is people moaning and whenever I go on your server I hear the same old crying from clan members because they got killed behind a wall trololololol

In all honesty yes I find it more annoying than any of those. Never had any issues with Jets, not been killed by one on the ground and im rubbish at flying them so have no clue about being up there except as passengers. RPGs (along with grenade launchers) have been a pointles nuisance for infantry in every game in the last 5 years or more. RPGs are less annoying in this than in Modern Warfare, less splash damage and actually have a use in game against vehicles. Thermal in the tank isnt a lowish level unlock for a weapon you use all the time never mind for the odd occasion you are in control of the very few massive slow tanks on the map. Its not needed in its current form and just adds yet another item to make playing less fun/challenging by giving everyone the easy option.

This was an amusing thread, check the vid linked in it

He mad, and incredibly bad to boot.

Efour · 7 Nov 2011 at 17:15

Its completely and utter nonsense. the IRNV guy will always win cos he can acquire the target visual cover and camouflage is completely negated in all light conditions. It completely trivialises the game and detail of the maps... Why not just sit in an empty room? Why did they bother with the fancy DX11 engine when so many people play in orange and green??

Take any LMG with IRNV and you will pretty much mop up on any map cos u can instantly pinpoint any other soldier upto about 200m, if he doesn't have a blue triangle on his head : start firing.

You will win. You will get bored of it and feel like a dirty little noob.

Deception · 7 Nov 2011 at 17:17

So im doing it wrong? Im supposed to sit in a corner with my IRNV? Damn! There's me running around capturing points with it.. How wrong was I

Deific · 7 Nov 2011 at 17:24

I'm seeing 75% of people running with IRNV scopes now. This combined with rpg spam makes me ask why I'm still playing.

FeFiDoh · 7 Nov 2011 at 17:25

Things that annoy me with this game...

When in a heli and I am firing rockets at ground vehicles they take a complete hammering it appears
When shooting infantry in a tank they seem capable of taking quite a few shots from what I assume is a pretty large caliber gun!
SOFLAM does what exactly? Seems completely and utterly pointless.
Can't hear any footsteps of people moving around by you so its so easy to get shot in the ass or knifed.
Using a spawn beacon and parachuting in when clicking it, why does it do this?
The automatic bipod deployment, when you duck for cover and pull scope up you end up stuck with bloody bipod out barely able to move.
Pistols appear to be so weak as well can shoot people loads of times in the back only for them to turn around and gun you down.
