without soflam designated setter the javelin doesnt hit 100% a lot of things that can make it miss, speed, terrain at which the vehicle is on angle that u fire that etc! its not guaranteed to hit all the time. im finding reg on this game perfect everything i fire at dies except ive TV'ed a few jets tonight that i hit but it just bounced off :(
 
change network slider depending on what the server is like usually use 50% on UK servers and around 65-80 on european servers (germany spain etc) and 100% on US servers

sometimes tho TV is really laggy so i have to play around with it a lot while im gunning to get it smooth or i cant hit jack all!

i only have crappy 20mb BT connection!

Ive rarely tried taking on moving vehicles, most times im shooting at stationary tanks/ifv's. However though, i got a few kills against quad bikes and they were shifting on. Made for some really funny moments.
 
3.7GB patch!!! Glad it's only going to be 4 minutes to download or I'd be gutted :P

Does anyone know if the ultimate unlock bundle covers this expansion too?

Thanks,

Most servers (as is always the case with this game) seem stacked to ****, was just in a game where we lost by 300 tickets. :rolleyes:

Nobody's interested in a fair games nowadays. They all just want to run around spamming shots, collecting 'XP', so they can unlock some worthless camo and pad their stats.

All the regulars teamswitch to one side. While on the other side you're left with a mixture of mostly casuals (who don't care about being dominated) and some decent players (who eventually get frustrated and leave the server to be replaced by more casuals or another unsuspecting decent player).

I saw it when I would randomly join conquest games, where you invariably get placed on the losing side, because the winning side is nearly always full.
 
Performance in the new maps for me is pretty much the same as the standard ones. I get a few fps dips on the b2k maps, mainly karkand and gulf of oman. Cq ones were a bit iffy. Now running an i5 3570k at 4.2ghz, (quick asus turbo v oc in windows), pretty much the same performance as my i7 920 at 4ghz. Though it runs a bit cooler.

Just had a good game that was to the wire, lost by 4 tickets :eek:. But yup, as you said the kiddies are all about the winning team regardless if it makes the game a total steamroll.
 
Yeah just had a good round or 2 there as well, was very close, difference of like 20 tickets. So the next 20 matches will be complete steam rolls now :p

Game is soooo much more fun when I have matches that are even and both doing really well. Just don't see how people can enjoy being on a team that steam rolls the other team, might as well just play with no players on the other team as that is just how pointless it is.

DICE need to sort out something better for managing the teams rather than based on that crappy skill system and more servers need to have the plug in installed where teams get shifted about when one team is raping i.e. like a difference of 150 tickets or greater, even if it means splitting up clans, if clans want to play together on the same team and show how they good are then they can go on a private server and have proper matches with other clans, where at least things will be a bit more even rather than playing against casual players who aren't on teamspeak/mumble coordinating their attacks and watching each other's backs.
 
Think i may finally need to upgrade to the latest 12.8 drivers still running 12.3 :) might help with performance i guess

Are 12.8 the drivers most people seem to be using? Never used caps before either do they make a big difference?
