this is me all the time im constantly shooting people to see if they are on my team..

i cant tell the difference between the squad colour and the hostile colour :( seems loads of people are complaining about it but i guess dice dont give a crap about the people with colour blind issues :mad:

the neutral flag colour and the captured colour is really hard to me to distinguish aswell

BC2 had a colour blind mode I'm surprised BF3 doesn't, I preferred the colours in colour blind mode too.
 
Some late night BF3 to get some more unlocks and rank up a bit as I've been AFBF3 for a week or 2 and this guy....Damn sneaky mofo!

Is it just me that's slightly disappointed in the BF2 maps? Gulf of Oman was Ok, but I've always preferred Dragon Valley and Dalian Plant over Oman and Wake?

im only bothered abotu karkand tbh :p
im getting quite addicted to seeing the levels tick by, for some reason im getting on much better than i did in BC2!
 
be sure to check out rjkoneill's suggested change to disable aero in Windows 7/Vista to free up VRAM, for me on GTX 570 it released almost 200MB VRAM :eek:

a genuinely useful thread idea, ruined by pointless replies.

here's a tip

go to wherever you have BF3 Installed
mine is: D:\Origin\Origin Games\Battlefield 3 for example

then select the 'bf3.exe'


right click on the exe and go to the compatibility tab

then tick the box that says

"Disable Desktop Composition"

press apply

this will disable windows aero when you open the game and frees up vram

I game at 2560X1600 on 480SLI and sat at 1500MB Vram usage all the time

doing this trick frees up 3-400 mb vram meaning the computer is not bottlenecked

maxxed out, BF3 runs at 1200MB vram usage at the very most.

hope that helps some of you :)

I've nearly maxed out my engineer according to battlelog (Gotta love surprise attacks on tanks :D) Saying that, dont think Ive even touched recon yet!
 
Ok, tried this yesterday!

It looks fantastic, only had a little 30 min go and got up to the bit where you fly the plane.

My only issue is, looking around with the mouse doesn't feel smooth. If I play any other FPS then play BF3 it's really annoying. FPS isn't an issue and neither is video RAM, so I have no idea how to fix it..

It's playable, it just sorta lags when aiming/looking.

Anyone else had this issue?

i always loved "road to jalabad" its a map that would easily be full size in bf3 aswell because it wasnt massive in the first place.

where as it sounds like some of these larger maps are going to be scaled down so whats the point

Why is the javelin so useless?

Just tried to kill a heavily smoking tank on smogsy's server from like 10m away with one, got a direct hit and it was fine?

The amount of damage they do doesn't seem to outweigh the amount of time you stand there trying to lock on with one to actually get to fire it in the first place.

Totally agree, there only worth while at long range i mean 300m+ thats if you can even get a lock on. Kharg island is the best map for it when you run up the little just a little you can lock on to them from other side of the map.

On different note, DICE Need to add for server side

: Make better inbuilt server message system
: FIX quening system crashing servers
: Have Better admin tools full stop.
: Allow karkand & Normal maps on the same server.
: allow us to change some setting & not lose quick play.
: Allow us to set ticket based on map.
(for example i want a metro fun Round of 100 tickets then rest at default. so its quick & people will stay if they know its short.)
: Better Stablity (will come in time i guess)

Client side:
: allow us to chat on Winning Screen.
: Allow us to move UI to where we sit fit (think WoW UI)
: Give Motar limted ammo.
: Increase Javelin Damage or Ammo.
: Decrease Range of NV-IR or Have counter-measure
: Disabling Aircrafts & Tank should give a random problem of Cant Drive or cant shoot.
: Need a Extra point on top of tunnel on Damvand Peak.
: Fix Tehran Spawn on US so there 2 exit routes.


On another note Thanks to all you guys for using my server & Helping me start it. My server now is 3622 in the server rankings from 24000th :D
