News BF3 Players Only Allowed One Soldier Per Account By Nick Winter | Oct 15, 2011 Battlefield 3 fans get ready to nerd-rage. DICE has finally given a straight answer on the question of whether BF3 players will be able to create multiple soldiers and usernames. And that answer is: No. Nup. Nope. Not a chance. The news comes via DICE's Daniel Matros, who succinctly tweeted the answer. But it gets worse. Mr Matros also confirmed that your username in BF3's Battlelog browser is the same username you pick for EA's Origin service. The only way to change this username is to contact EA tech support and politely request a name change. This has lead to the unofficial BF3 Blog speculating that your soldier name will also be your Origin username. However, this appears to be unconfirmed at the moment. http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/battlefield-3/1200509p1.html

LOL

CplMOFO Folks, Pardon my lack of knowledge of the "portable devices" such as smartphones and stuff, but I found this on some forums... You can change your ID by installing Android SDK on PC and then Installing "SCRABBLE FREE" by EA That way, you apparently can change your nickname, you your Origin "in-game" name reflects your ">XI< clan name. That way, we know who's who in the zoo!!! Mofo, please tell me there is another way LMAO

grats guys I pre-ordered through gamestop right up the street so I have to pick up my copy at midnight the 24th, and better believe I'll be there too, can't wait

download the xi downloader link to the left of this screen, you will get good speeds EDIT if you have any questions about how to use it, use this section http://www.xtremeidiots.com/fora_forum.asp?fid=42

Murlock google ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) http://uxc-clan.com/forum/20-call-of-duty-modern-warfare/202-toggle-key-to-thawhack-or-not ))we have a traitor...) HELLO! I got this from our site . ... Not some uxc-clan ...dont even know who that is ...I searched forums and I found your topic Primal... which website do u want me to put in there Primal? http://www.xtremeidiots.com/fora_topic.asp?tid=83 <---I found it from there... Just this part right here //www.xtremeidiots.com/ (somewhere at the bottom) so it advertises our site would be really cool. Make sure the slashes are in it as shown (two in the front most important). As dumb as this might sound, only takes one person to jump in our server or our site and they bring friends and so on, more users, more voters, more players. I know this file has made it's way around over the years and has brought people here, it was a topic of discussion at one point on 2 different clan forums that I know of, the game is old, but you never know-and sure doesn't hurt. Thanx Murlock

lol Murlock I wrote this file 3yrs ago, I don't care that you removed my name from it. But would you mind putting the website info back in it if your going to distribute it please?? This gets passed to other people from other clans and I know of 3 other clans that use it. And that website info brings people here to our site, and to our servers, which is good for >XI<

greywolf2 I just play the game how it is. I have no prob picking up weapons as i just hit F again and wow i have my gun back. ITS JUST A GAME!!!! Wow you ok partner? You said the above today and you said the below 2 years ago when I shared the exact same file, what has changed? Just tryin to help people out dude, that's all. People pick up somebody's empty gun and get shot all the time, they find that frustrating after awhile and these alternatives make the game more fun for them. It's just a preference. http://www.xtremeidiots.com/fora_topic.asp?tid=83 greywolf2 Thanks primal fear for adding that for those who (Not me lol) dont want to pick up another gun.... Good job

Sonovabich Might be quicker just to open your console and type /+activate for auto defrost /-activate to turn it off...5 seconds tops Yes good point, that is an alternative many might not know about. If you were going to do it that way, I would recommend /bind F +activate /bind G -activate or something similar, only downside is you would use 2 buttons instead of just one, some of the maps have lots of doors and that 5 seconds could turn into a chore if you have to open console alot, it's all a personal preference of course. But all 3 methods will accomplish the same task. Good post SOB

Since this is the 4th time I have shared this info in the last 3yrs, is there any chance of having this added as a sticky? And can we upload this very small sized file to the site somewhere? the current file posted will expire in about 90 days for download I again heard some frustration from people picking up guns by mistake the other day, so I am adding this again to the forums, and I hope this is found to be useful to those people. YES YOU CAN STILL PICK UP GUNS AND OPEN DOORS IF YOU WANT BY PUSHING F (SEE FAQS BELOW FOR DETAILS) OPTION #1 You can download the AutoThaw toggler from here http://www.enterupload.com/puqy34gciu23/AutoThaw.cfg.html PASSWORD IS XI TO DOWNLOAD FILE I should probably add the directions: Place the file in your C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\main You may want to rename the file to something else (update win7 users may need to click "COMPATIBILITY FILES" to see this file in windows explorer after the "MAIN" folder is selected on the left panel) When you open the game type /exec autothaw.cfg or /exec (filename).cfg If you would like to change the button it is assigned to: Double click the file and a window will open that says "Windows can not open this file" Click "Select a program from a list" and click "OK" Another window will open with some programs to choose from UNclick the little box that says "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" Find "NotePad" in the list, click it one time and click "OK" You will see this: //======================================== //AUTOTHAW TOGGLER================= //======================================== set thawon "+activate; set fgt vstr thawoff" set thawoff "-activate; set fgt vstr thawon" set fgt "vstr thawon" bind f "vstr fgt" //scripted by PrimalFear for XI Freezetag //www.xtremeidiots2.com/ OPTION #2 You can cut and paste the above info into your own .cfg file (make a new file, don't add this to an existing file) FAQS WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO OPEN DOORS, AND PICK UP GUNS IF I WANT TO? YES All this file does is it changes your F button to a toggle, push it once to turn it on, push it again to turn it off. So if it is on and you see a gun or door, you push it once to turn it off and a 2nd time to pick up a gun or open a door etc. WILL PUNKBUSTER KICK ME OR BAN ME FOR USING THIS FILE? NO! you will not be kicked or banned by punkbuster for using this file, when I created this file for >XI< freezetag several years ago, I submitted this file to punkbuster and they confirmed that pb would not kick or ban for this file. However (please read and understand this) although there is no Punkbuster violation, some clans choose to not allow "vstrings" on their servers, they might have server settings that will kick you for using this, but you will not be banned, only kicked until you turn it off by restarting the game. Will this change my game files at all? NO this is a "vstring" script file, it will be completely removed when you restart your game and not change any of your game files except that your F button will be unbound in your menu and you can reassign it to F at anytime from the game options menu. Do I have to type /exec autothaw.cfg everytime I restart the game? Yes this file will be removed everytime you "hard" restart the game (no not each map as some have thought) only when the game has been completely closed and reopened, and will leave your F key unbound in the menu, you can either reassign the command to F in the game menu or retype /exec autothaw.cfg in your console to turn it on. There is a way to add this to your main config file, but to prevent people from messing up something they might not understand, I'm not including that information here. Will this work on MW2 ftag as well as server 1 & 2? YES confirmed I use it all the time If you have any troubles using this file please let me know and I will help you best I can, enjoy ================================================================================== Special note to specific clan member as requested: This is the prior thread when the forums where moved here 2 years ago from the old website, for reference only http://www.xtremeidiots.com/fora_topic.asp?tid=83

LOL good one (quote from article) At this moment, AMD are years behind Intel when it comes to overall processor performance, specifically when it comes to lightly-threaded workloads. /end quote Their not bad cpu's but they are always behind Intel by a generation or two, who knows maybe they'll get the market back someday. When they do I'll be watching.

LaRSin Don't know if this has been suggested http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127608 OUT OF STOCK lol http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127608

Let me first say thank you for the links I have checked them out, I need to find out more about tigerdirect. There are no microcenter.com places in Washington or Oregon state unfortunately. I am still considering MSI Larsin thanx for that one as well. And I'm with you Pharticus that newegg customer service is my preference all day long. CplMOFO Well, there is a few nice 560Ti's out there! The PNY you pointed to is what it's called a "reference design"...the standard EVGA card is the exact same card... You have to pick a custom card to get something different than the reference stuff...better stuff, such as better fans/heatsink, Larsin suggested the MSI Twin frozr II card (he showed you a 2 GB card, those are sweet), but the regular 1GB card is cheaper, yet really decent. The MSI 560Ti HAWK is good, but a little noisy. The Asus DirectCu II 560TI is another contender. EVGA has a new twin fans design, the DS model..might be decent... I got two of the MSI TFII ones and I like them... BTW, as you were considering playing with 3D Vision, I highly doubt that a single 560Ti would put satisfactory FPS in 3D in a game such as BF3...just to let you know, so you don't get your expectations a little too high! I know your exactly right on all points Mofo I just want to make sure we're on the same page here, my comments about the EVGA card was a comparable twin fan reference card, I'd call it just a bad model. I am in NO WAY suggesting that one of the best video card companies on the market is junk. Just the opposite, but their reference card fails, you had made mention of taking reviews with a grain of salt, all to true and I do, but when good numbers of people have the same problem over and over, I can't deny that either, I've made that mistake in the past and don't intend to repeat it....check reviews here to see what I am talking about... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130651 I am a big fan of aftermarket coolers, typically I use Zalman but I was thinking that if I got a standard card and added an aftermarket cooler, I would void the warranty (depending on the company) by installing one. Second I would get about 1ghz out of the OC from the standard 822mhz, where if I just buy a reference card already oc'd to 900mhz I know I can oc it further to around 935mhz with the stock cooler and not void any warranties. I also know that these 560ti's dump about 80% of their heat back into the case and with good airflow and a little modding I know I can decrease the temps below the average reported temps. I really don't care to much about a little noise (not one of those guys) but I have heard some that are truely loud, I'm sure you have too. So it's a mild consideration within reason. I'm not against an MSI card, I'm using one right now. The 2-3yr warranty is good enough, but I want to see some very good "customer" reviews first. Let's face it, if you get a bad card it's gonna go out within the first 2-3yrs and your gonna be into another card by then anyway. So I'm cool with that. PNY card I posted just looked like the best deal to me for price/speed/warranty and awesome reviews. About the 3D part, your right but that of course depends on the res settings as well as the quality setting in the game. I ran the game with zero problems on medium, on this prehistoric 8800gts. The average 3d FPS drop is about 50% so a sustained 60fps 30/30 with a 120hz refresh rate is obtainable. BF3 3d requirements are not released yet, but I do know that Black-Ops in 3d has been compared to looking out a window onto an actual battlefield, with lower hardware than I have. And BF3 was made for 3D, Black-Ops was not so I'm very optimistic. The Frostbite2 engine is specifically built with 3D animation. I'll look at all those cards you posted and re-consider, if this goes to much longer I'll just buy a 570gtx LOL Thanx yet again Mofo for taking the time to offer these suggestions and making sure I know what to expect, very cool of you.

Lions have earned it too, even though the Bears had the lead at the half 10-7 Cutler had carried the Bears and it was just a matter of time before they broke him down. Oh and broke him down they did (poor guy). Bears were simply outclassed, Lions were constant and tough as nails the whole game. Lions do need to get those penalties down though. Solid team this year, grats Lions fans

I went to Del Tech, Georgetown and Clark College. I don't watch college sports but I think it's great you guys do, I'm an NFL fan, love Philly Eagles. So I do get to see the best players from all colleges sooner or later, that kinda makes me a fan of ALL colleges in a way GO EVERYBODY!!

greywolf2 AS soon as the game comes in mail i will load and be on the server. Just remember all First day out can have issues, but XI will iron them out and have a rocking game............ +1 I expect the servers will suck for the first few days the game is out and there will be nothing anyone can do about it, some people won't be able to download the game because of server load etc, and I won't blame DICE or Origin for it, happens everytime and just comes with the territory. Hope I'm wrong but we'll see, if it does though it will all iron out in the end I'm not worried.

Ruggerxi - >XI< will be running a 64 slot BF3 server With the outstanding donations we have gotten lately we will be opening a 64 slot server on opening day and will add another server if needed. I will post the details as soon as I have them Awesome Boss, I'm sooooo happy to see and hear the response this game has gotten with XI, I'm excited to see where this will take us. A +1 to the comments posted, this game kicks ass and I'm sad the beta is closed so early. This is gonna be awesome when this comes online fulltime. Confession I'm behind on the donations, I'll have to step that up with the quickness. Shame on me, I'll see you idiots on our BF3 servers in 2 weeks. Thank again Rug for the good news, always good to hear. Get ready Mofo I'll be on you like stink on sh$t

Battlefield 3 developer DICE has revealed the top 10 most-reported issues players have had with the game's ongoing open beta and what it plans to do about them. The most common complaints include issues with the squad formation system, glitches in terrain stability, problems with the game's kill cam and occasional screen flickering. DICE insisted that it has all of these under control. Without further ado, here's the full list, as published on the Battlefield Blog: Lack of flexibility when forming squads: "There will be improved squad functionality in the retail game (including but not limited to): the ability to create squads prior to launching into a game, sticking with your squad when joining a game and continuing together through future games (If team balance on the server allows it), inviting friends to a squad and changing squads once in game." Deleted console stuff who cares.... Will DICE have enough time to iron out everything by release? "Please see General Manager Karl Magnus Troedsson's blog post regarding this question." (In which Troedsson wrote, "feedback from the Open Beta will not only directly affect the final game of Battlefield 3, but its future development and support.") Inability to change settings before deployment into matches on PC: "The ability to modify your settings via the deploy screen has been added into the retail game." Issues with terrain stability and "falling into the map" on Operation Métro: "This has been fixed for the beta via a server side update." Kill cam sometimes zooms out too far or outside the map: "This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game." A bug that keeps some players from being able to sprint: "This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game." Screen flickering/stuttering. Blue screen remains after respawn. Game locks up after deploying C4 (360): "This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game." Downed bodies appear to be dead, but are not: "The DICE team has been looking into this issue - which is caused by a combination of incidents in a confined area - and are working hard to address the issue for the launch of the retail game." Why is the hit detection seemingly different from Battlefield: Bad Company 2?: "The netcode is one of the many things that we are testing as part of the Open Beta and is not necessarily reflective of the final retail game. The DICE team appreciates and has heard the feedback you've provided and is further optimizing online play."

I got my card all picked out a few days ago, went to order it today and once again OUT OF STOCK I chose the PNY (lifetime parts/labor warranty) and best review of all the 560 ti's so far http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133380 I chose against EVGA because there is a constant problem I see reported over and over that the fan shrouds are too thin and the fan blades end up hitting the shrouds and either jamming or breaking off, they are also very very loud and often only 1 of the 2 fans work. EVGA stands behind their products for $30 but I'd rather just avoid all that stuff. So does anyone know of another reputable site like newegg that would offer a comparable rebate and a free batman game? lol I can get the same card at Fry's for $229 after rebate but no game, instead of $204.99 with a game. Which kind of seems like a rip to me, plus I'll have to drive 40 miles each direction to pick it up. Just considering my options on this card. This SUCKS

Welcome home

Happy B-Day BlackCat

Happy Thanksgiving Canadians

Damn that sucks, I have been loving it while it lasted. I'm getting set up for BF3 3D in the meantime, this game is setup special for 3D gaming. That was a short beta though, but I guess it's a good thing, they must have had very few problems to fix. So the 2 week withdrawl symptoms start today bummer

lol love it
