For the first time ever my C4 disappeared after respawn last night. Before yesterday, I was *always* blowing up tanks and what not with my C4 after respawn. I've also had countless rockets not disappear.

Dunno if it's something daft like after level X it disappears. Next time I play no doubt I'll find out if they continue to disappear.

Good players who pay as engineers can remove them so they dont actually disappear!
 
Quick question - does anyone know how to unbind the console key (it's [`] for me - right next to the '1' key) - I keep hitting it when switching weapons- partly panic and partly ham-fisted-ness.

End result is that I'm stood there like a lemon and usually get nailed ::o

Cheers,

Rich
 
I was playing BF3 with DG and the instant I turned a corner TAP TAP dead, ok go another way TAP TAP dead. Same bloke, sneaked a different path.. TAP dead, instant kills same bloke

Checked his stats he says he is a newbie with no sign of cheating however in battlelog 34/4, for someone who is a newbie he was on target every time and knew exactly where anyone was. Need to see what he is like in the next few rounds!. But there has been cases of people with stat wipe and or ban and they just buy another key and start again!

Pre patch (I don't think I ever actually tried it again after the first patch) my C4 always disappeared, whether it be on a tank or around flags etc. Tried to detonate after respawn but it was always gone. Could it depend on the gametype (normal\hardcore)?

I'm going to have to try it again now...

I've found you have to be within "range" of your already laid C4 to be able to detonate it on respawn.

Possibly, but I've rigged flag areas before with quite a spread between charges. Unlikely that every time they find them all and remove before I respawn?

Good point. I'm sure I have spawned back at the same flag I was defending and had rigged up before now, but charges were gone. I'm going to be giving it all another go though!

Only reason the C4 would disappear is if someone blows it up, which can happen easily at flag areas with all the grenades/rockets going off. Other than that it will be there on respawn so just click.... BOOM.
 
Just had two awesome rounds with DG :D :D

What I also noticed was that if i set the frame rate limiter between 56 and 59, use VSYNC it's smooth and has NO input lag. It was a number of posts on this forum and another that noticed it and I thought i'd try it out, I was well surprised. It was like having vsync off but with no tearing :)
 
Is it just me or is the Heat seeking missile unlock for helicopter gunner not very good ?

I find that you have to be virtually on top of your target to get a lock.

I've done that as well, limited mine to run at 65 fps maximum, and it's much smoother now. I might have to try 59/60, see if it's any better. :)

Apparently if you have a 60HZ monitor and set 60FPS limited with vsync ON you will get input lag, yet if you set between 56-59 you don't. Why this is I don't know, I'm currently using 58FPS limited and It felt as If i was playing with Vsync OFF :eek: yet it's ON

Interesting, although I haven't tinkered with v-sync in BF3 because it has triple buffering when you enable ultra settings and I've never had any tearing as a result. :)

It seems BF3 has stuttering issues for so many reasons, be it single GPU setups, multi-GPU setups, HT capable CPUs... :eek:

It's an absolutely fantastic engine though, visually it's more convincing than Crysis 1 and 2, only a few assets let it down such as the tree models, but then again only Crysis 1 not 2 has ever got them right.

Why do you think he's cheating ?

Showed a couple of mates it and they question his head shot accuracy on several weapons. His Type 88 HS percentage is over 80% but its to low a kill count at 112 to be definitive.

So hopefully no more problems for you? :D Really need to jump on a few games tonight and test out the C4 theory.
