Was playing on the ocuk HC server earlier and apparently I'm a hack sniper gay!

The feeling of the bullet going through and killing his team mate twice was immense though :p

SV98 is boss, 45 kills so far with it, 27 of which are headshots :D

The M98B is superb as well (got over 1000 kills with it). Same as the M40A5 which I use at present.


 
Couldn't enjoy the game at all tonight, first the freeze ups which both me and DG got at exactly the same time in a jet. Then the phone rang and ucks hardly had any members :(

I've managed to fix it, but I'm not entirely sure why it's fixed it.

I tried changing the page file settings from completely automatic to manual. It occurred to me that Win7 might be running it on the SSD I've got the OS installed on and wondered if it might be better on the same HDD as BF3. That completely wrecked my system though, even Windows was lagging, and changing the settings back to default didn't help.

So I unplugged the HDD that BF3 is installed on and that fixed the Windows lag. I plugged the HDD back in to see if that made the problem come back, and lo and behold, everything works fine now: I'm getting ~40FPS in BF3 again.

No idea why it worked, but it's working, and that's what matters....

Weird, still, least it's fixed, and leave the pagefile manually managed on the SSD from now on :p I have mine set to 2GB based on my commit usage peaks with 16GB RAM :)

I don't think I have the M98 yet, I will check again but I was sure! The action of the SV98 is rather satisfying though!
 
Hopefully my copy will arrive tommorow.

Does doing the single player get you anything prior to jumping in with the multiplayer?
 
I was in a Metro game the other day, spawned at start area then dead by a guy who was near the train area instantly three times in a row soon as i spawned like he shot through the walls with some aimbot hack.(he was instant killing everyone like this)

Anyone not know how to resolve the straight pull bolt thing then?:p
 
Me and Neil79 played a round on metro a few weeks ago, heaps of people on the opposite team were aimbotting, single shot kills every time you spawned. When challenged about it, the reply was basically, "so what".

Agreed, the attitude " So What" is basically all there is to say about Dice/EA. Just like bugs, flaws and cheaters they don't care. They have your money, last ea/dice game I ever buy
 
First time I've ever noticed it was tonight - some chap with the L96 getting tens of one shot kills, even when looking the other way.

A bit annoying to say the least...

What's the point?? I really do struggle to understand.

Hmm

54 hours in I'm still frustrated by BF3.

Yesterday I spent levelling up so I have the option of soflam and javelin only to find no one seems to use either except when I'm in a tank and then it seems to rain javelins.

Today has been experimenting in jets. After an hour or so I can fly well enough to keep in the map and take a few shots though trying to take down another plane or chopper with only guns is nearly impossible when all you get is lock .... beep ... beep ... bang .... 32% plane damage .... uncontrollable ... death.

After around 50 planes and no doubt a ruined game or ten for others with me whoring the jet I manage to knock out a couple of crippled planes which got me enough points for flares.

Now flares make it much easier .... fly around as normal ... wait for the fast beeps ... flares ... carry on. At least I can stay aloft for enough time to dog fight.

Another 15 planes or so and I have enough points for heat seekers .. yippee..... now I need to learn to get a lock on which is tougher than I imagined. Ok .. so doing ok with that and before you know it I have stealth so it's at least a little longer before I get locked.

So on with the point .... I really really really hate the way DICE set this up... you spend so long trying to score some points with crippled options then when you put the hours in and get some unlocks the game suddenly becomes playable.

I can totally see why people cheat or stats pad.... it's not just about winning... it's about getting to the unlocked weapons and features and that just plain sucks. Why does it have to be such a grind ... surely the basic unlocks could come from a training level ....

On day 1 I'm sure it wasn't that hard .. but with the number of unlocks in the population it's quite tough now... at least it was for me. I had one guy on a learn to fly server with an ECM ... enough points for that but still looking for easy meat in a learn to fly server !

Come on DICE .... don't make it a chore


On the up side, I did have a great rampage on Metro with the 12 shot shotgun..... two squad elimination medals in under 10 minutes.

Yep, sniper rifles are the weapon of choice for the aimot boys. I love it when they spin round and headshot you from hundreds of metres away. Its like a ballet dancer doing a deadly pirouette.

Agree with above post ... single player is dire ... very much .. so I need to stand here wait for this ... walk forward .... fire.....

It's so utterly scripted with what seems to be only one path and no choice of weapons etc.

Might as well jump into multiplayer ... though accept you' spend at least 50 hours grinding through and unlocking options to get you somewhere in the middle of the ranks
