Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given

[Battlefield 3] LOCK PLEASE
Posts
Just by using it. They unlock pretty quickly, I want to say after 20 kills but I'm not certain.
Unless that was a joke.
Seeing scope glint seems to have something to do with what angle you are relative to the sniper, so having a good position is still good. I found a good position on Caspian and was able to stay there all game and pick mans off. Bolt action sniper is still OP.
We love you Arch. don't mind the trash talk. Or knifing.
We gotta come up with a rotation, ticket count, etc...For renting a server. Gotta find out if I can make it so certain people can pop in and bump non-PA players. That would be ideal.
[edit]So I can set up a VIP list of players who get priority...Lets talk logistics gents. I will get one for a 7-day tryout. Just want to iron out the small details so it's exactly what we want.
Kind of disappointed by the AN-94 though. Maybe I just had a few bad games with it.
It's not only when you're ADS, though. I've seen plenty of snipers running in my direction with their scope glinting as the rifle goes up and down in the run animation.
Are you sure? Cause I've never seen that. Flashlights and Laser Pointers, sure. But not Scope Glint.
I can't hit anything with the M4 now, it's driving me nuts.
Also the scope glint has a huge angle view. So if the sniper isn't even looking at you odds are you see it.
I don't know if this helps but whenever I enter a new area I have my pistol out to see any movement then switch to my rifle.
This. I rarely play as recon in an offensive role (mostly because I prefer other classes to run-n-gun), but if we're being shot up by one or more recon(s), I'll switch and just keep my pistol out until I spot a glare. Once I confirm where they are shooting from, out comes the L96.
I snipe against snipers a great deal and I only see the glint now-and-then, what I mean by that is when they ADS. I am very sure that they were not switching to pistols between every shot against me. If I know exactly where a sniper is I will only see the glint now-and-then, even when they lay facing me directly. This has always been the case, now and before the patch.
And I have never seen the scope glint when a person is moving with the sniper rifle out.
On the other hand I think the 8x is super awesome in pretty close quarters too, haven't been using anything less than it.
SKS with irons and shoot everything on instinct like a longbow. I don't know why it works, but for some reason it just nets a lot of headshots.
Datas.
Not sure where the plots are, don't really feel like digging right now, but here is a list of all the individual values for each weapon and the attachments that can alter the recoil and spread of said weapon.
More datas.
Still better than the Famas.
Yeah, those first FAMAS kills. so bad

I think I have $30 left on my amazon gift card, too.
EDIT: $13.26 total. This will work with Origin, right?

I don't even think it's a CD, just a piece of paper with a code that you plug into Origin, so yes.
It's an Amazon download. Whatever, it's $13. I'm downloading it.
XBL: Mercy XXVI - Steam: Mercy_XXVI
We should get some games going.
Give it about ... 4 hours.
XBL: Mercy XXVI - Steam: Mercy_XXVI
You gonna be on when it's done?
Definitely. I'll post.
XBL: Mercy XXVI - Steam: Mercy_XXVI
Oh. Is that a thing I have to buy to play with you dudes? Because meh.
EDIT: 1.87/10.2 Gigs.

Yup. Anyone in the US who wants BF3 and can get to retail stores, check those first because they very often still have "Limited Edition" copies of BF3 that include Karkand access. They will be mixed in with the newer copies that don't have Karkand and will cost the same (same UPC/SKU). Look for the orange corner on the case.

Good start to the day. Pity it's going to be the worst one of your life. The light is now on.
Amazon definitely didn't have a digital download with the maps for $39.95
