Was fun last night. TLef Slax Joe and myself. We won the vast majority of games (good mix of rush/conquest and map rotation).Good games last night.We're one month away from some concrete info on BF3. They're doing an official revealing event on March 1st.

Yep, I liked that server. I like a good rush/conquest mix so it doesn't get stale.Was fun last night. TLef Slax Joe and myself.

I'm playing in a little while, will jump on vent if anyone is interested.

Saiga has always been my shotty of choice, but yeah, I have been hit from a long way away with it, so there has to be something weird going on.

I need a little help troubleshooting my vent connection. It works fine as long as the vent window is on top. Once I go into the game, it doesn't work. Suggestions?

it was always a good gun. I only used the shot guns long enough to get the gold stars with them. (and i always used shells, so i didn't really get the true shotgun experience)
But the SAIGA has just seemed abnormally powerful lately. Maybe its just in my head, i don't know.
It hasn't really been long range kills. More mid-range stuff. It's my understanding that the last patch severely nerfed our ability to use shells and snipe with shot guns (which was long overdue).
Using the Type-88 now. its basically the same as the PKM, only with a 200 round clip and slightly more damage. (plus some extra recoil)
Might jump on for a little while in a few hours after the Duke-Maryland game./

Are you running Vent as Administrator? Sometimes you have to do that to get things to work. It's in the properties of the shortcut you use to launch Vent, select Run as Administrator.

They really could balance choppers/jets better if they allowed Stinger missiles on infantry. The jets always knew where the AA batteries were and so a good team with 2 good pilots would have them always down while they were rapin' errybody.
TLEF316
Footballguy
Exactly. The only threat to jets were other jets.I know that's mostly the case in real life, but this is a game, so you need balance.Had a 20-1 round last night on oasis (conquest).Type 88 lmg is money

I wonder if this is only PC side. I remember one of the DICE guys saying once that they may never bring back prone. I hope I don't have to upgrade too much to play it. I don't want to have to get the 360 version. But I also don't want to have to pay an additional $300 to play it either.Also added back is prone. Now, if they can just add LAN support, I will be in for about 8 copies. . .
Also, so far the only way they are saying that you can get into the beta is to buy Medal of Honor Limited Edition.
Not a fan of this growing trend of "buy game A for early access to game B". So, that makes me a better beta tester? Because I bought your other game? Not because I've helped test and submit other bugs in your other games?

They'll give beta access to everyone pretty early. I wouldn't worry about that.
As for prone, I'm ok with it coming back but only with a few conditions.
- there needs to be a delay before you can shoot/ shoot accurately (made longer or shorter based on what kind weapon you are using or what class you are playing). I have no problem with a special forces type guy with an smg having a little extra agility nd the ability to dive and shoot (at the expense of some other stuff). I have a major problem with a guy carrying a SAW being able to do this.
Apparently we're gonna get some more details today, so ill wait and see before I comment

The big upgrade will be Windows 7 for you. It will not run on XP they have already said.I wonder if this is only PC side.

I've been meaning to officially make the switch to Win7. I told my wife last night that BF3 might require it. I don't know if it'll run on Vista. If that's the only upgrade, then I'm fine with that, since I need to do it anyway.The big upgrade will be Windows 7 for you.

I can't imagine the hardware requirements being that much higher than BC2 and that game ran perfectly fine on medium settings with a 3year old processor and video card.
The larger maps and increased destruction for the new engine might be a bit more taxing but I can't imagine it being all that bad.

I agree. Should be fine if you can run BC2 OK. Win 7 is a great OS, anyway. I believe it will run on Vista, however.

Unrelated to Battlefield, but did you see my post in the video game thread regarding Magicka? I thought you might be interested in that game.

I don't even visit that thread, to be honest, but I will look at it. Did you get it? If so, I would be in.

I haven't bought it yet. Was hoping to see if someone else would buy first. (not as in buy first to try it, but go in too) It looks like a game that would be better played co-op. But would likely be fun single player like Torchlight, though.

I keep thinking that these developers are gonna hate killing off PC gaming if there's ever another video game crash like we had in 83. PC gaming and arcades saved it then. Arcades are dead and it seems they are trying to slowly kill pc gaming, but you know we'll (PC gamers) will be the ones to stick around when everyone else has left.Onslaught cancelled for PC so they can work on BF3. And yet, it's not like BF3 is coming just to PC.

I had a dream last night that the zombie apocalypse was upon us. Freaked me out. Can't tell you how thankful I was to be fully armed, BC2 style. It was a little real, in that I had myself grabbing my own weapons, stocking up on my ammo and blasting the crap out of them. It was a little too real of a video game for my tastes.
Not BF related, but figured what the heck.

Interesting. Last night, I was reading about a new zombie game that's coming out that will be an open-world real-time strategy survival game. Here's the article on Kotaku. Not much is known about it now. The article says that it's XBox Live Arcade, but it sounds like it may be made into a Steam downloadable game too, ala Monday Night Combat.I had a dream last night that the zombie apocalypse was upon us.

After I get my mouse driver updated, I'll check and see if it did the same to me. I went outside the building at the party, so I took a few extra steps. I quit outside, though.

I was trying to see if Razer's new software would automatically choose the macro/button profiles depending on what program was launched. Microsoft's mouse software did this. Apparently Razer's don't.
Every game should allow for binding mouse buttons. I have a 5 button mouse. I want the extra 2 buttons to do something!Anyway. No, it didn't save for my game either. Not sure what the point of checkpoints are if it's not going to save, unless it's just for the current playthrough in case of death, which is likely.

Yeah, I've been watching some PC gameplay videos of this on youtube. I can only play Battlefield on the 360. It looks like the PC version will poop on it the console version yet again. I'm still excited to see what they do though.

As it should. The original Battlefield series is a PC entity. Does anyone else ever post a response in here and have a habit of hitting backspace after submitting the message and then you don't know whether or not you submitted the message or not when you leave your desk and come back? Yeah, as I thought. I'm the only one. I do that sometimes and I wind up accidentally double posting several minutes after the fact and then have to delete the second post. Well, this time, I thought I made this response already, so I didn't submit. I originally had a longer post. I can't recall what else I was gonna say.Yeah, I've been watching some PC gameplay videos of this on youtube. I can only play Battlefield on the 360.

Do you suffer from short term memory loss? I don't remember.

Haha, OK. It should be better on PC because PCs have more processing power and nicer graphic cards.. not because of some dumb allegiance to its original platform. I'd love to play it on PC, but I can't afford a graphics card let alone a nice, beefy desktop PC. Or a table to put it on. Or an office chair. Anyway.
I do that all the time. I assume you use Firefox? I don't want to insult your intelligence by asking if you use internet explorer, but I think even Chrome can lose what you leave in a reply box. Usually you can hold Ctrl + Forward arrow if you mistakingly went back a page and want to recover what you had before. If you accidentally delete everything from your reply box, you can usually hit Ctrl + Z to recover it. Most importantly, if you're not sure if you are about to doublepost or not, you can hit the "More Options" button in the quick reply box to preview the post... then look down to see if you've already posted it or not.

Thanks for the tip. I do use FireFox, as well as Chrome and IE on occasion, so it depends on what browser I have open at the time. I use them all because I do testing and I have to make sure that certain things work in all browsers.edited in blue. That red text was dreadful to the eyes.Haha, OK. It should be better on PC because PCs have more processing power and nicer graphic cards.. not because of some dumb allegiance to its original platform. It was partially a joke, but partially not. The Bad Company spin off is the console brand. There are things that the original Battlefield series does that I just don't think would work on consoles and that's why it's "dumbed down" for consoles. I don't mind them doing a multiplatform game, but I hate when some of the best elements are taken out just because it doesn't work on consoles. There are just good reasons why some massive multiplayer games don't usually work on consoles. (I'm not referring to the Battlefield series as an MMO in the WoW or Everquest sense, but the original series has always supported up to 64 players. That's massive compared to most shooters.)As it should. The original Battlefield series is a PC entity.Yeah, I've been watching some PC gameplay videos of this on youtube.
