I think perhaps you should be looking to connectivity issues or something. I played earlier and it felt no different damage wise. Several times I got away (barely) after taking hits, and several times I also managed to shoot someone a couple of times before they died. Exactly like it used to be.

I did notice however that I was getting regular lag stutters. I think what you're experiencing must be related to that.

Nope definitely not a problem on my end, did a pingtest before and I had 18 ping and 10 jitter (that is good for me), I am not the only one who has noticed that it seems, looking at BL forums, some people are saying the same, will try to find the thread again.

The night before the patch, I was doing great for like 4 or 5 hours and then today, just pure and utter xxxx on HC lol, where as with softcore I am doing as well as I did in HC previously.

EDIT

Found it:

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654347952860073/

But they are saying that for softcore though, personally softcore IMO still requires more bullets than it should and definitely more than what HC was previously.

EDIT 2:

I am also having some issues with hit reg, shooting people, but not reg at all :( Not sure if this is just a softcore thing (as I have only played like 5 matches of it before the patch lol :p)

Then again ive haven't checked my graphics settings since the patch so don't know if they have been reset.

Using the same settings as before. The only difference with my rig is that i changed cases a few days ago. Both gpu's are maxed during the game, vram use at 1200mb max. Temps are up slightly, but still well within limits. I had an issue with a red flashing screen in bf3, bfbc2 and moh last night, shut down and ensured that cards were properly seated and sli bridge secured. Turned on and the red screen in game was gone.

Good advice, I can see people better on low. It's quite funny how good it looks as well with FXAA as well. I do find myself playing with the settings quite a bit tho. Sometimes on certain maps it's just nice to look around and take it the *beauty.

*controversy



Cough...Playing on the on the right servers then...cough..my poor throat :)



That's prob the best description I've seen of BF3.

The only point I'd add is that even tho people seem to hate it and give it hell...They still seem to be playing it, in the main.

Sadomasofield 3?

Arma2 took me 2hrs to unistall and never play again. It wasn't for me and moved on. Why can't the haters do the same?

wow Dice done good with the jets, guns tears up cars and infantry for fun and seems to be more accurate, there is no more stupid 180 turns, dog fights are more interesting and challenging now as you have to work for the kill as the cannon does way less damage.

For me the game seems way more responsive and smooth, hell I may actually start playing again.

Can you be more specific? You can't break turn anymore?

What do you mean "guns tears up cars and infantry for fun"? It seems to contradict you last statement :confused:

hehe could be :) :p

But, out of all the servers that I have played on for HC, I very rarely got revived, ammo/med packs dropped etc. where as with every match that I have played so far on softcore, the teamwork has just been great, in fact I would say that I have been revived, ammo dropped etc. more than I have had on HC servers in the last week :D


But sadly, aircraft is just stupidly OP now (to the point that I may only play on maps, which don't have aircraft :(), they should have left the stingers etc. the way they were. I much rather have OP tanks than OP aircraft as at least with the OP tanks a few guys could easily take them out, now only one person is needed to be successful, where as helis/jets are untouchable pretty much. I can see DICE at some point buffing tanks up again as currently there really is very little reason for them to be in the game now especially on maps with aircraft.

Here are my thoughts on Jet's.

Lock is much harder to dodge. Heli's are difficult to kill (perhaps rocket pods???) the cannon destroys infantry, they have done something to the auto speed so break turning is harder.

On the + side As long as you stay high enough infantry have no chance. Need to test the range of the AA gun though.

Also, noticed they have changed the rocket pod animation and they feel more powerful ???

I'm still using ECM, however I may go back to flares or even extinguisher is now an option.
 
hacker on matts just now on metro was on enemy side was invincible was trying to find out who but when you seen him couldnt get his name and if he killed you it didnt show :confused::(

sat there shot him with ten usas round nothing. he was spawning near us and just sitting in our spawn not even moving :rolleyes:
 
TBH I think the maps are absolutely garbage. It's the games biggest letdown.
They become so boring so quickly.

We need a jungle map.

Desert map with 2 towns with 2 - 3 flags

And a couple more similar to metro but with less of a funnel.

Can't see the Close quarters map pack brining anything to the game.

Why in the name of god they didn't mix the map sizes up in June ?

that's not true mate, he was just lagging. i looked at everyones PB stats and no one showed up, the top 5 on my side had nothing great K/D wise either. if you had given me a name i could have looked further.
 
its not true :confused:

he sat inbetween me and another guy on our team

waiting there knowing he couldnt be shot :rolleyes:

i sat there shooting him constantly with a usas in the face the gun on his head he just ran off with no damage :confused: no name popped up for him.

next time he was near b escalators ran up to me didnt even fire just sat in front of me didnt move i just sat there shooting him yet again and no damage no name tag.

yes it was lag :p . it was either hack or bad glitch.

he was spawning in our spawn and invicible that is not lag lolzor

Remember DG to prove someone is a hacker on this forum isn't easy, one mention of cheat or hacker and it's because he's just better than you or lagging. I just played on a metro match and this guy was cheating, he'd know you was around a corner without being spotted. Appeared from the corner wack your dead instant K/O this was on a softcore server and it kept happening.

He went to about 18/2 and climbing NO m320
