The main changes have been various nerfs/buffs on weapons. Theyll nerf a weapon in one patch, then buff it in another. The starting weapons are still probably the best in each class.

Regarding the expansions, aftermath is probably the best. Armored kill and close quarters seem to have died a bit of a death. Though the latter can still be pretty good for a change every now and again.
 
This is the latest version of the last one that i tried.

Just place the files in the bf3 folder, tbh i didnt bother tweaking it at all when i used it. Westie on here has done a bit of tweaking of the settings and really improved the look of the game.

I previously installed Westie's settings but was wondering if I need to reapply them since the latest patch or if they carry over?


No, noooo, noooooooooooooooooooo! I only just bought Aftermath!
 
Barzini

M16/ M416/ M4A1/ SG553 with Foregrip + HB.

AUG, AEK* & ACW-R with just HB. Most people prefer foregrip on AEK as well. AUG & ACW do NOT need them!!!!

Use the kobra sight for all except the M16 where the red dot sight works best.

For Armoured vehicles reactive armour is the minimum you need. Take smoke / thermal depending on map and whether you play SC / HC.

Heli's now only have one lot of flares / ECM.

I honestly couldnt say wether you would have to reset the settings mate. Been quite a while since i last used an injector. I did try the realmware colour tweaker. But i believe it hasnt been updated yet too work with the latest version of the game. And tbh, on some maps it made things look a bit odd.
 
i havent bothered with the fxaa injector for a while as its been banned in ESL, CB nations cup... as all the servers check for the md5 tool file and if its been modified u get kicked from the server...

public servers ull be fine tho.

Don't blame me! I don't make the decisions. :)
I'm just the messenger. :p

If your're looking for an Aftermath server try this one. It's a normal server (not HC)

Foregrip! Foregrip! Foregrip!

Did I just read that right!!!!! :p:D
 
Theres only 2 good maps in Aftermarket anyway.
Also Aftermath has been a ****ing pain to start up in the mornings lately, so the new is off and people go play the usual thing again.

Just wait for Endgame which will probably be **** ;p
Hooray for Path of Exile
 


Ah that's a shame man, I was really enjoying your Aftermath server and I can't stand Metro :( There seems to be a lack of other good UK based 48 player hardcore Aftermath servers but a silly amount of Metro servers to choose from. I have never understood the love for Metro? It's good as a rush map with 24 maybe, much more than that and it just seems like a cluster **** with people just spamming ammo/revives and m320's.
 
And that is one of the main reasons I don't play the game much, crap choice of servers especially for non-premium members. Seriously, I spend at least 10 minutes trying to find a good server that:

- isn't near empty
- has more than just 1-3 maps running (usually kharg, caspian and metro or some other map) or most of them are just metro with 1000 tickets :rolleyes:
- no stupid rules
- no stupid instant spawn vehicle
- no stupid amount of tickets

This is for 32 & 48 players with conquest large or rush, anything more than 32-48 players and it is just a complete and utter spam fest and anything less just becomes boring. Don't like any other game modes, especially death match stuff. And normal mode since there is virtually no team work in hardcore and too much camping.

The last few times I have played the game, I have had to just join a server with like 8 people each side and after one or two rounds, there are then just like 3 people each side left, takes about another 20 minutes for another 6 people or so to join (at least it means I can get use aircraft without having to worry about constant lock ons every 5 seconds :p) and if I do get lucky and manage to get into a good full server it is guaranteed I will be kicked after a round or two, either to make room for a friend/member or no reason is given....


So yeah, as you can imagine, with the above it can get extremely frustrating to the point that you just give up.
 
I personally think that a lot of people dont like the vehicle based maps, maybe the latest generation of gamers are too used to fps such as the cod series. No doubt helped by the fact that bf3 is pretty unbalanced when it comes to vehicles. Choppers and jets own tanks/apc's, which in turn own infantry who have very little to deal with either.

Hence the massive number of metro only servers, a map that is basically a point farming spam fest for those who just want to bump up their k/d ratio and other stats.
 
I will pass on the feedback regarding Aftermath on the Bitches server but I doubt it will change until End Game comes out in March.

I can understand the big lads thinking mate, when you have a server and it's sitting empty. It would be very frustrating. At least though, when you stick it on metro, it will fill pretty quickly. Might not be everyones favourite map. But at least the server is being used.

I actually dont mind metro with 30 players ono, it can be fun and pretty tactical. With the higher numbers, it can be a bit of a spam fest/base rape. That round we played last night being a good example. Though i gotta admit, that one was a good laugh.:D
