Nice find tater!

I just have no interest at all for hardcore servers. It's just not Battlefield to me.

I'm Launching Dragons! lol

Even weapons do more % damage on colsoles. PC gaming is where it's at.

I was there and victim of a few of those headshots. You weren't using a tripod or a scope with any X to range on it. You were using the Holo scope. Map was Seine Crossing. Headshots on the run, not in some corridor, from 100m-300m. The kills were if hit from a sniper rifle. Instant death. Not hit, hit, hit, dead. Just 1 bullet instant death. FYI: Changing your Origin name doesn't help. You have an ID# that doesn't change associated with your account.

Sue the HD was at a 45 degree angle when it arrived and a cover for a case fan was stripped out of the holes. Most likely damage in shipping. Tomorrow is case cleaning day. I am not making any adjustments and I am going to see if my temps go down. Having a clean case is important. Nice rig Sue!

I love the new command in BF3. In chat type @admins and it will list any admins playing currently. Very cool.

I love that processor 2cuteSue! It's the heart of my system and I run it at 4.8ghz and can keep it cool with my High Airflow system. Next time don't be too scared to build the system yourself. I had a Cyberpower system a few years back and I had to fix a few things when it arrived because they throw them together really fast. Can't wait to see you in game!

Nice, lol. Hotdog buns.

eidolon BigGoliath1 A lot of the issue might be your choice of where to spawn or who to spawn on. You can't expect protection spawning in a firefight or on a contested point. Good point... if there is too much protection, squad spawning on the enemy side would be unfair. (if say they were invincible or invisible for 2 seconds) That's why TS and joining squads with XI is so important. Sometimes in a last ditch effort I'll spawn on a hot point to try and save it, but you have to be ready to pull the trigger. BF3 doesn't spawn you like BFBC2 did. BC2 would place you as far away from the enemy as possible at a point. BF3 is just a dice roll. You might end up in a building with cover, out in the open, or right next to an enemy. XRAY has some great tips!

I would play on a Squad Deathmatch/Squad Rush/Team Deathmatch server until I received my medals. No vehicles would be fine, but eliminating explosives doesn't work for me.

I have the same issue sometimes. I have to open Task Manager and end the BF3 process and try again. Another tip is to right click and exit origin and try it from a fresh login.

xCaliber put Firestorm back in the rotation! It would take something special to happen to get Tehran Highway back in the mix.

Knowledge_022 recon is still a great class, spotting enemies with mav, working with your squad to soflam/javelin, or even use a pdw instead of a sniper rifle. Right on Knowledge! Maps like the Grand Bazaar work well for a recon soldier with motion sensor and a shotgun, too.

I saw the complaints about T-Highway, but what were the complaints about Operation Firestorm? SOB I am with you that we only have 13 maps and we don't have them all in.

I was wondering why Operation Firestorm and Tehran Highway are no longer in the rotation? I know some people don't like T. Highway, but why Firestorm? Firestorm is a great map. Especially, when you need to work on vehicle unlocks. It's a map where even snipers have something to do. Any chance on adding it back in the rotation? I think T. Highway should be back in the mix, too. 700 or 800 tickets was way too high for it, but now the servers are running right around 500. Nice and short if a side would get pushed back too far. I have had some great battles and team work with xCaliber, Chief, and many other players on T. Highway. It's the only map out right now that's played at night. I guess I find it kind of messed up that we keep Metro in the rotation because a few XI like it, I am one of them, but get rid of maps that most people enjoy. Maybe give these maps another shot with the lowered ticket count? Thanks for reading my post and I'll see you in combat!

Congrats guys!

What's up Knowledge? It was fun killing with you today!

Save up for a new motherboard and CPU 2Cute. I run BF3 at 4.8ghz, double yours. Remember COD was designed for consoles, which don't have much processing power. 64 players on a destructible map with air power going at it, tanks and LAVs blowing buildings to the ground, snipers on cranes with SoFlams, and everyone has a specific camo, weapons, and what not. Processing power is a must. A 2.4 dual core and graphics card with 512 memory meet the MINIMUM system requirements to run BF3. You may not have problems on a 16 player squad deathmatch/rush server. Time to upgrade man!

Merry Christmas XI!

Woohoo!!!
