Can we possibly sticky this?

good post!

first!

* working elevators. you actually hit buttons to go to different floors. and elevator music! * moveable 'barriers' * sky scrapers that completely fall which relocate flag points * surpession for support class only * counter melee * non combat field 'Commander' for each team - tablet supported * 1st person and 3rd person spectator mode * 'sprint swim' * Auto lean * underwater swimming * structural support beam/column destruction to take down buildings or open floors * improved explosions * jetskis * settling dust and waves that hit shore * 5 different free cam views - can pin cameras to certain areas for cinematic shots * 'table top' view - you can select different people to spectate from here No confirmation of dinosaurs yet

much of this has to do with the IP not changing anymore. I still make numerous posts with the BL page to different sites. This is awesome. I actually can log in at 9-10am and its still full! I remember when Cal and I used to sit there playing alone for hours trying to get people to join, wondering what we did wrong. Cheers!! edit: if you remove the ones that are not US, and get rid of the stupid Metro Only, we are 3rd. edit 2: Caliber you should go on there and claim our server so it lists our XI website.

Smokemist I heard you complaining expressing your concern with what seems to be issues with hit boxes in BF3. Here are a few things you can do to help with that. I have ran this for over a year. Please keep in mind when making changes like this, give yourself 5-8 hours before you make a decision. Interoplation - Network Smoothing Factor In options / gameplay make sure Network Smoothing Factor is far left. This creates a "virtual lag" in order to overcome jerkiness. It also add lag to your bullet and messes up hit boxes. Threaded Optimization + MaxPrerenderedFrames: Open Nvidia Control Panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Program Settings --> Battlefield 3 Set Maximum Pre-rendered Frames to 1. (effect: system prerenders only 1 frame instead of 3, results in less game stuttering) Set Threaded Optimization On. (effect: loading times reduced) FXAA Enable: If you're using NVIDIA Geforce Driver 290.36 Beta or higher, you're able to use FXAA. NVIDIA Inspector is the best choice to activate FXAA. Download NVIDIA Inspector 1.9.6.4: Attachment 4105 Open NVIDIA Inspector and click on the tool-button. Choose Profiles --> Battlefield 3 and under Antialiasing set NVIDIA Predefined FXAA Usage to Allowed and Toggle FXAA on or off to Enabled Danoc1 FXAA Injector: This just makes the game look better and will help fix those "dark corners" that you mentioned. It is not against the rules per EA forums. This is an adjusted FXAA Injector for BF3. (source: PCGH Forum) Copy all files to your Battlefield 3 installdirectory. Delete older version before copying the new one. Difference between normal and performance version is, that the performance version has disabled Ambient Occlusion. Attention: If you copy your commands in your own user.cfg file over to Danoc1's file, the user.cfg file has double commands like RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit and RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable New version 1.3 Beta released: (Changelog see Post#17) Directlinks: Danoc1 FXAA v1.3 Beta Mouse sensitivity: This may be the single most important aspect of a FPS. Disable Origin Ingame Overlay - This will help reduce mouse lag. Origin --> Settings --> In Game --> uncheck "Enable Origin In Game"(effect: better mouse feeling, it's no more spongy) Disable mouse acceleration. It is absolutely vital to disable all mouse acceleration when playing any game. With acceleration on, you will not be able to play consistently. For example, you might move the mouse 6 inches to turn 180 degrees, then you move the mouse 6 inches another time, and depending on how fast you move the mouse you might turn 100 degrees, you might turn 270. This uncertainty in mouse response inevitably limits everyone's potential. Watch this to make all settings above: Again, TURN OFF ALL ACCELERATION. Accuracy: For those of you with high DPS mice, turn your DPI all they up, leave the mouse speeds in Windows set per the above video settings. Once your DPI is maxed, change the speed IN GAME ONLY. This will allow the mouse to register the smallest area of change (accuracy) without interpolling it down as seen in the video. Believe me when I say this, this will take some time to get used to, but after awhile you will be amazed.

Did the tickets go down on the server? Matches seem shorter.

what he said

too bad those clowns at EA decided to stick with 64 player maps...

Hello gents. Been some time. Just wanted to say that the Standard server today around 8-9pm CST was terrible terrible lag. For everyone. Lost alot of people. Then it fixed itself. Then when the map changed, 3 minutes into the next round it dropped more than half the people on it, including me. Just thought I would give a head up.

This is great news. Having to leave our own server is saddening. I was in it the other day with 5 friends. Soon as it got to 60+ players, massive lag, yet players pings were still showing good pings. Has to be the server. We've had more issues with this server than I know of. Other clans servers are not having these issues. Good to know we are looking at a new server provider all together.

I dont get it?

What happened to this thing? It hasnt been full for weeks. I got side tracked by GW2 for about 3 weeks, but have been playing moar BF3 lately. However, I have 3 new friends playing, so Ive been teaching them the game. Unfortunately, I have had to teach them on other servers, because the 64 player seems dead all the time. What is the state of the 64 player server? What have we tried to do to get it populated? What can we do to get more people on it? Thanks!

back. good times. didnt quite fire a m249, beergoat, lol. did fire: Springfield 1911, Mosin Nagant, S&W M&P 15, Ruger Mini 14, Walther PPS, AK 47, AK 74, Colt 357 Magnum. We brought a pound of Tannerite with us. Blew up alot of stuff. lol. I upload some links to pics and vids.

i dont understand. no account of mine in 31 years has ever been compromised - not even when i ran a bbs. lol sorry para

Just fyi guys, Ill be gone for the next week or week and a half. Off to vacation, going to shoot many of the guns we shoot in BF3! Have fun, keep the server going and kill kill kill.

You get a dog tag for nearly all weapons proficiencies. Here is a list of my fav weapons: I use holo scope on every single gun (aside from sniper rifles) A91 - Insanely high rate of fire. I feel that the rate of fire, mixed with suppression makes it difficult for people to fire back at you. Its my go to gun. Holo, Foregrip, Heavy G36C - Accurate, seems to kill quick, good at close range and decent at far range. My secondary gun if I get bored with the A-91 or if I need to pack a bigger punch. Holo, foregrip, heavy. F2000 - again, insanely fast rate of fire, and very accurate as well. Holo, foregrip, and i switch bakc and forth between flash suppressor and silencer, depending on how I feel like playing. M1014 - This shot gun is a beast, I use it on smaller maps, (Metro, Siene, Bazza) mixed with a M320 smoke. I tend to play different then most, I dont sit behind walls just to get kills. I am always the guy running into a fire fight full blast right at the enemy. I usually see myself run in first, die only to start the train of my teammates running in. With the M1014 and smoke I can do this effectively. Smoke the choke point, run in and fire the shotty. By this time, usually one shot will kill. I liked the AUG for some time, and plan on going back to this soon. I also just started equiping the L85A2 after discovering how amazing the L86A2 for the support class is. I am liking the L85A2 even without any attachments yet. USAS12 - This gun gets broken out on maps like metro, bazzar, siene. Along with my smoke. I hardly ever use it any longer as people bitch about it too much. But honestly it really does slow a big group of people down. On Metro, I sometimes equip the frag round, not because it gets kills, but because it causes so much mayhem, the enemy usually runs. L86A2 - Just started using this gun a week ago. I love this gun. Its got a decent rate of fire, but more so it is deadly accurate. The kick is nothing compared to the other LMGs. This is by far my new fav for support. I roll this gun with a holoscope, and flash suppressor. I have gone back and forth between foregrip and bipod. I dont use the bipod often, as I do mostly run and gun. But I am playing around with guns and taking off the foregrip as it does reduce accuracy. PKP Pecheneg - I hate this gun, yet I still use it often. I couldnt stand this gun until watching you Cal get massive kills in metro with it. I forced myself to use it. I roll with holo, foregrip and flash. As much as I can use to get that kick down. I still use it often in maps that have tight quarters (not CQ, lol). Why its effective I dont know. Its kick is insane, it has a smaller caliber and larger trajectory slope hten other LMGs. Yet it kills people. I really dont understand this gun. M1014 - see above PP2000 - This gun is probably the most accurate gun in the game. Its bullets are not the strongest, so it does take a bit more to kill with it. However with the extended magazine you can take out 2-3 guys per clip. Very easy to aim for the head with this gun. I use this gun with all classes. PP2000 and M1014 - Primary weapons for recon. I am not a sniper. I still run and gun with recon. L96 - The L96 is crazy for how accurate it is on the move. I roll this gun with iron sites and straight pull only. Always on the run. Lastly, I do like the MK5 occasionally. My style of game play is different then many. I run full blast into everything. I am not here to get the most kills, or the least deaths. I dont hide behind things and kill 4-5 people when the opportunity arises. I run full blast into those 4-5 guys, and instead maybe take out 2. But I only do this when my team is behind me. Basically I am that guy that will always be the first to run into a death for the better of the team. Now I demand you tell me your fav guns!

There might not be much we can do. Balancing in BF3 sucks.

Im so happy our server is back after a brief retirement.

bah! top 3% now. Time to get back in the tanks.

As a top 1% tank driver, i hate to say, I dont think Im going to like this game mode, after seeing its all 1 flag based.

updated gfx drivers? directx and the such
