Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Havent tried any shotguns yet, i tend to play as assault and engineer the most using carbines/assault rifles, a little recon and virtually no time as support. I preferred the bfbc2 class system tbh.
 
so what happened between TFU and OCUK? i got asked if i was 'sure' i wanted to play on one of there severs after what happened?

from where i'm standing the problem appears thus :

TFU is a clan, with lots of members. Too many members in fact, for its head to keep control of.

There appear to be a small minority who abuse their server admin powers to kick / ban players from the server because they don't like being killed by a particular person, or plain and simply don't like them. Generally abusing their admin powers.

Smogsy on here had a trial with them, whilst he was on trail he branded his server as a TFU server. He then left the clan as he found it wasn't for him, and changed his server to just "Smogsy's".

One of the TFU members then came on here abusing him and accusing him of being an ego maniac and having a go at him for using the TFU name to get players into his server.

Once it was pointed out that TFU themselves pimp their clan on this very forum, and brand their clan servers as OcUK servers to attract players from these forums, their head suggested that in order to avoid any future criticism, TFU would cut all ties with OcUK and stop using their name to stop the accusations that TFU were as bad as smogsy.

Thats about the long and the short of it.
 
Im finding it takes me a good two or three rounds to get up to speed with everything.
I just takes me that long to get warmed up.

Then usually, by the time I'm getting into it its either time for bed or tea time.

Knackers.
 
How do you go about adding a custom avatar pic in battlelog? Fancy something better than the stock ones.

Think you do it in Origin, changed mine the other day and you have to join some avatar site, pretty straight forward mind, even if it is a bit of a pain.
Funny thing is I noticed it adds the same avatar to sites where you use the same email, well it did to my Paltalk account.
 
I just ran over a sniper on Bonken with a boat. Epic. :D

I love the little bird, but don't you think it should be a little bit faster and mobile to make up for the lack of armour?

Seen a guy go 37-0 on Canals in a Littlebird, post patch of course. The other team were pants tho.

The amount of servers that i have joined post patch, that are being dominated just shows how much they have messed up the game.
Would still find it happening pre patch but the sheer frequency of it happening now is beyond belief. Nice one DICE doh :(

I think that is because the usual: Oh new patch out, I quit playing because x reason, but because the patch is out now I'll give it a go.

In my opinion the balance isn't completely broken, just the attack helicopter is a lot more deadly now. I assume because no one bothers with stingers anymore.
 
Mobile AA is mental, one of our chaps just went 65-3 in it on rush canals. It can destroy the amtrack for goodness sake and can kill a tank faster than AT rounds can. Don't get me wrong I'm not a flyboy but on maps with air and mobile AA I feel sorry for the guys in the air.

The thing is you don't really feel threatened by the AA while in a plane as you can just run away from it and extinguish any damage. What I find annoying though is I can fire a salvo of rockets at it, get a vehicle disabled, and shoot it for a good 5 seconds with the main cannon and it still doesn't explode. A tank would have gone pop quite easily with the same damage.
 
Good games on Smogsy's again tonight. Really noticing the Scar distance reduction, but other than that the patch hasn't really altered much for me. Game is still awesome.

the game still awsome but the damage on some weapons and vehicles is reduced! :(
 
The scar does feel a bit different, saying that though. I avoided it like the plague in bc2 as i thought it was seriously underpowered. The patch has been pretty ok so far for me, backed my cpu overclock down a bit as i was having a few issues at 4.2, it was stable once but not lately.
 
Managed a couple of games tonight, patch installed ok and does not seem to have broken anything for me (that was not broken pre-patch at least) need to try and get in your squad Gord, you pull some huge scores, wp, I could learn from you ;)
 
I'm using Fraps BTW, I record at half res in Fraps (game at 1920x1200). This results in virtually no FPS drop while recording. AT full res there's a few fps drop but videos end up being massive. That 1min vid alone was 1.2GB from fraps before I re-encoded it to 100MB.


What are you using to re-encode?

I've tried various methods, but never been totally happy with the outcome.
