How do these work? Do they need to be connected to modem or are they connected to one of telephone socket?

Connect to the router via ethernet cable and plug into a wall socket, then plug the other into a wall socket near your computer and connect it via ethernet cable to your computer.
 
Do you have the 200mbps or 500mbps powerline?

What speed internet do you have with AOL?

I don't know currently as when my parents were sorting our phone line out to be AOL instead of BT, my internet got faster, and i have the 200mbps.

I'll have to do a test later, at work atm.

Edit: For example; before the phone line switch, i was downloading at 500-800kb/s, now i'm downloading at 1.2-1.4mb/s.

Cool, I'm gonna go for the Mbps I reckon.

Thanks for the advice.

Thread hijack is now over.
 
The satisfaction is immense blowing up helis with rpgs especially when they are quite close to your position :D. Also equally frustrating when the miss is very close and rpg just goes past the heli tail.

Last night on death valley, the heli started pounding my position, diving straight into my direction. I was lucky as I jumped straight out of its path and fired rpg straight at it and boom!! 2 instant kills :D
 
You guys must be playing the wrong servers, or over exaggerating.

I have consistently been playing in games over the past weeks which are coming down to less that 100 tickets in it.

The main server I play on has an auto balance at the end of every round, so if a team dominates by a certain amount then it will reshuffle and balance the good players with the bad.

Pick your servers better guys.
 
It was at a constant 295, never once did i see it fluctuate to anything different. He also had like 60-2 k/d (slight exaggeration maybe).

He's found a way to manipulate his connection then.

There's no need for somebody to write a "hack" for this.

If i max out my upload completely then i can make myself completely invulnerable on BF3.

I can no longer send updates back so people just sit there shooting at me and nothing happens. Granted i can't move, but it prooves how easily you can manipulate the in game experience based upon something as simple as using your internet connection for something.

If he had a fixed 295 ping he was probably using something like Laggsta
 
Why would anyone do that though?

Surely you'd just be constantly lagging and permadead?

I would have though so too, i accidentally left a torrent running when i played Battlefield the other day, laggy as ****.

Given what the hacks out there can achieve:

Automatic Aimbot with:

Ghost Aim
bone selection
instant kill
vehicle aimbot
aim angle
Bullet Drop Correction
Movement Prediction
Frame Compensation
Aim point
Auto-Switch Target Toggle
Visible Targets Only Toggle
Configurable Max Distance
Configurable Aim Angle
Configurable Prediction Limit
Configurable Aim Bones
Critical Distance
Visibility Checks
Penetration Checks
Smart Target Selection
auto switch
visible targets only

Bullet modifier to enable one hit kill with all weapons
automatic knifing
Rapid fire for single shot mode
Warnings when people can see you
Punkbuster resistant
Mass Murder Hack of every player on the server.


The idea that somebody has gone to the trouble of creating a hack that subtly changes your ping so as to make you harder to hit seems unlikely.

It isn't just a few people complaining about this problem......

Have a look at nearly every BF 3 forum, people are complaining about it everywhere, even when I watch loads of youtube videos on BF 3 gameplay videos, I always notice how one team is loosing by a huge amount or getting raped instantly. This is the main reason why I and others have stopped playing the game now.

Also I have played on a number of servers and have encountered this problem on every single one, get 2 good close games out of 8 bad/landslide win games. Even the servers that have an auto balance thing at the end of the round are useless.

Although there isn't exactly a huge amount of good servers to choose from, all of them are crap noob servers with like 1000 tickets, instant vehicle spawn, only 2 or 3 maps on rotation.......

I have stopped playing BF 3 now and gone back to BC 2 and haven't encountered this problem anywhere as badly (on a number of servers) in the last 5 or 6 days.

I have the 500mb TP link homeplugs and didnt notice a difference in latency going from direct ethernet. They generally get 260-280mb not 500.

Thinking about it, I'm getting a steady 1.6mb/s on my belkin wireless adapter, not sure i really need homeplugs actually.

Those are my main servers. I rarely ever experience the issues expressed above.
 
Is there anyway of installing BF3? without the CD? I have the CD version but my drive is not working is not possible to install from origin and then use my key which I got from the CD?
 

1 problem with one of the servers, 64 player, too chaotic/spammy for my liking :p

3 problems with the other server, 64 players, USA server with high ping and it is hardcore :p


Will give the normal core server a go anyway at some point and see what it is like.
 
Well, enjoy the BC2 thread...bye

:rolleyes:

Just because I stopped playing the game doesn't mean I can't post in the thread, last time I checked there weren't any rules that you have to own/use something in order to post in the official thread on a public internet forum? Oh wait, I forgot this thread is only for fanboys of the game/company, no criticism/negatives posts against the game/company is allowed.....



Enjoy the 24/7 conquest clan forum/site........bye
