3) Only worth it if you can get within 10 mtrs of people. SO not agree.
4) Defo not agree. Holo is a slow sight. The Iron sights, RDS and Kobra are quick. Check symthic, the Holo is as slow as the 3.4 scopes.
5) Which you nerf. The G3 even without HB does 30+ to over 25mtrs. The UMP does 30+ damage with Suppressor for up to 8mtrs.

At Least we agree on some things

4) A Holographic Sight provides a fast, open sighting picture for mid to close range engagements. The reticle features a circle and dot configuration."
— Battlelog description
The Holographic Sight is an attachment in Battlefield 3. It is an EOTech 550 series holographic sight.

Despite being a non-magnifying sight in real life, the Holographic Sight in-game uses 1.83x magnification, but shares the same aiming speed with the Red Dot Sight, Kobra, and ironsights.[1]

5) Agree the G3a3 is a much harder hitter at range, but we are talking close quarter here. Th UMP isn't great at distance.

Where is specific info about scope aim speed?
 
Sooo, I picked up BF3 in the Humble Bundle. I've not played a BF game before, and I'm not very good on PC FPS games. Is it worth me even bothering, will I be killed instantly by everyone else?
 
How about watching videos and learning and playing the game properly... it's a lot rewarding then playing like 95% of the bf3 player base

Thanks For Link.

1) Halo is good for close to medium range (Not Long Range)
2) Halo has same scope up speed as Kobra and iron sight. (Speed is also weapon dependent of course).

To clear this up I meant when aimed. Yes it is as quick to ADS with the Holo but that zoom affects is side to side / up and down movement when ADS'd. Kobra and RDS have 1:1 movement, due top the holo being zoomed it doesn't.

Play some co-op with an equally inept mate? Good laugh and let's you learn and fine tune the controls. Or play some campaign? Or why not just get stuck in?

Feel free to come on LVLBF.com TS sometime and poke me if you want a few rounds together (you won't be able to get in my channel).

Well frankly there is loads to learn. No idea what your preference is Inf / vehicles but as has been said RivalXfactor or levelcap are good places to start. Oh and I would REALLY suggest playing normal mode to improve your aim. Oh and stick to 1-3 weapons so you can master them rather than chopping and changing.

So a couple of playlists for ya

Xfactor how to be a better noob

Xfactors back to basics

Need some help. I haven't played BF3 since September 2012, and at which point I was able to play the game fine with no issues on all Ultra settings with my 560. I've today gone and played it for the first time in almost a year and to my surprise I seem to have a massive problem. I went into a game an a lot of the particles/textures were discoloured and changing, not sure what the proper term for it is but basically everything in the game kept on changing colours, from pink to purple then to blue etc and I'm not sure what the problem is. I've never had this problem with any other game and it's quite worrying. As far as I'm aware I have the latest Nvidia drivers but I don't know what the issue is. My system is almost 2 years old, and I have an i5-2500 and a Gtx 560.
Thanks

NVidia drivers, try and uninstall them and try the old ones 314.22 or similar, I had similar problems with my 670
