GorillaXI Here ya go DeeJay. It is the JSF-35 that you want to hover in. Wow I just read about this bad boy, second only to the F22 Raptor for Air Superiority, a stealth jump jet-absolutely incredible. Very freakin cool Gorilla, that's good stuff

Good job responding to this xCaliber, here are some BF3 pics with all 3 settings

Awesome news, good find Heff, 2 comments and a Question changes to chat window (size, positioning) I'm soooo glad this is gonna get fixed, big time happy about this one EDIT: Spectator/Battlerecorder - Another very popular request. (I can’t believe I left it off! I’d like this too) Great news to catch those cheaters very much needed and agree it should have been there to begin with-woot! QUESTION: Beep beeps (Which will be implemented, just not in this patch) WTF is a Beep-Beep??

This is a windows7 64bit fix, the location may be different for other OS's, this patch messed my game up and I was unable to even join a server, and this is how I was able to fix it... Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Users\(user name)\My Documents\Battlefield 3 and rename the folder "Settings" to something else as a backup or you could just delete it. Upon restarting your game a new default "Settings" folder will be created automatically. Now start the game and see if you are able to enter a server, if so right away change your settings to something other than custom the lower the better and wait for the map to change until the screen says "Saving". Leave the server and try to join another server, if you are now able to join and play stable, adjust your settings back up incrementally. For me there was an issue with fullscreen/windowed mode, I have still not finished correcting this problem but I am now able to play with no gameplay issues. If this worked for you or not please post the results, this is only what worked for me and others might find it useful. I hope it works for you as well. NOTE: Venery found a fix with this patch where he shut down his EVGA overclock utility. X-Fire and TS is known to have issues with the game.

Sue if you have an issue, RIGHT click the BF3 icon on the Origin log in, and select "repair", that should take care of the problem.

Here is the list, its the sticky at the top of the BF3 thread, some are leaving the platoon just so you know http://www.xtremeidiots.com/fora_topic.asp?tid=21527

I have seen some other threads about the MW3 sales, claiming they sold more than BF3, since the data is out now we can see that this is false. Not only has BF3 outsold MW3 for PC it sold almost twice as many units. In fact BF3 sold more PC units the first week, than MW3 has despite the claims that MW3 sets new sales records. They do but only on consoles. BF3 716,000 PC Units Sold (487,000 first week) MW3 369,000 PC Units Sold So there is the facts, hope that squashes the claims that MW3 is more popular on PC, as you can see that is not true, this is just about claims and sales not the VS argument that is just opinion. http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales-data/44604/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3/ http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales-data/35315/battlefield-3/

To expand on what X-Ray said... GameStar: Will there be modding tools? Söderlund: Well, as of now, we are not going to make any modding tools, no. GameStar: Okay, why? Söderlund: Because if you look at the Frostbite engine, and how complex it is, it’s going to be very difficult for people to mod the game, because of the nature of the set up of levels, of the destruction and all those things… it’s quite tricky. So we think it’s going to be too big of a challenge for people to make a mod. http://battlefieldo.com/dice-confirms-no-mod-tools-for-bf3/ I don't see how the mod community would be able reverse engineer the game for mods/maps when you have to run the game through Origin's browser, you might be able to make them but you won't be able to load them for public play without Origin. I'm no expert on this matter and I guess there could be more to it, and I'm not being negative just realistic, so I'll have to say that I'll believe it when I see it. Hope I'm wrong though.

I have noticed that if you change your loadout you have to wait for the next map for it to save, if you leave at the end of the round before the map changes it will not save it. At the end of the round before map change it will say "SAVING"

St33l Server is back up. Thanx Steel appreciate it, separate post gets me one step closer to post whore

Bigmeandean Next time I want video to go with this report! Do you hear me reporter? Lol! Loud and clear Dean lol Gotta get my utube stuff up to date, maybe get a little montage for you for when this happens, we gotta keep it real Dean thanx for the laugh my friend

Mofo will you meet me in the guildwars channel of TS or send me a pm via Origin if you wouldn't mind I'd like to speak with you if you have a minute

Went to check the 64 slot and it's off the list, just reporting

But make sure people know who don't OC LEAVE YOUR VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENTS ALONE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING, DO NOT ADJUST YOUR VOLTAGE AT ALL! I think you mean turn down your clock speeds in increments of 10mhz each until you reach a stable condition, this is the process used when you overclock, then you do the same thing with 5mhz adjustments. I would seriously check other options first though and use this method as a last resort. Keep your drivers updated and your windows services/processes cleaned up and check for other tweaks, I guess it couldn't hurt to try this and then just turn it right back if your really having a massive problem. One thing I did notice in game is that I have hit 1.4GB of vram used and I'm not even running everything at ultra. If your having intermittent issues immediately check your resources, you might be maxing out.

I agree Deejay but ALL auto-updaters should be turned off when gaming imo (eg Realplayer, Adobe, Windows Update, Nvidia or ATI etc). My suggestion would be to pick a day of the month or week to manually update your programs and save the resources. There isn't anything that critical that it needs to check for an update several times a day.

Who knows what options future patches will bring, would be cool though.

Happy B-Day Ferz have a good one

Really? I mean really? In this day in age, really? *sigh*

Welcome home Glove

Thanks guys for excepting the responsibility, very much appreciated

It's about damn time, I agree with all of you. Regulation, Restriction or Prevention is an infringement. I wish they could read in Washington.

I suspect that they are working on it atm because the total players went from 64 to 8 and they have to reset the server everytime they make a change to the config file for it take effect. I bet it will be back up in little bit.

eidolon Yea, I always take a range testing shot whenever I get set in the position I want. That way I can get the headshot first try. What's this? You can unlock weapons for mp by playing co-op? How fast can you get co-op xp points in a co-op game? Yeah, Goto stats page then weapons tab, look at the far right side that shows all the weapons-mouse over them and it shows what you need to unlock each. I think all the classes have a co-op weapon unlock except support. Depends on your score and whether you complete each one or not, I haven't done the last one yet. I'd guess a few hours maybe? But I haven't unlocked them all, so not sure just guessing. There are some pretty fun missions though. Grats on the 512 btw

Very interesting article Harry but if you will welcome my response to this as general discussion and not just accepting the article for what it claims, the article is focusing to much on addiction, I'd like to see that study if you have the link. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that controls motivation, pleasures, learning and movement. They are focusing on the "striatal function" which refers to the "ventral striatum" which is responsible for motivation, emotion, sexual arousal and yes also psychological stuff like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and addiction. For them to come to the conclusion that it is about addiction has about the same substance as saying the tests results show everyone is more likely to get a boner that talks to them. Your right though, gamers are smarter.

I think part of the reason the 64 was empty was because the new hardcore server went live right before the weekend, I was in there myself helping to populate it, when I would normally be populating the 64. As the novelty wears off and we return to our preferred gameplay I think the 64 will go right back to full, SOB, Smurf, Iron, Hans, Killingman etc are often right there doing their best to populate it every morning. 3am pst and the server has 22/64 and growing right now and the 32 has 3/32 it is really hard trying to populate both servers at the same time but I think we're doing pretty good. I of course have no idea how the quick match feature effects all that, but I'm happy with how it is being handled. Thank you as always Rugger, I know your giving up your own game time on this stuff.
