    yay!
    I knew it would come out a week later. Despite them saying it isn't down to the deal with sony, its pretty obvious that it is. The same thing happened with the last patch

    I think at least part of the issue is MS certification.

    New mouse get! My DeathAdder of >6 years finally started to act up a bit much for my tastes - it wasn't registering LMB clicks, which is a bit of an issue for gaming.

    So now I've got a G500 and holy shit this thing is solid.

    Looks a lot like my G9x, which is fucking great. Can anyone tell me the similarities?

    It is a little bit of both.

    EA wants something to differentiate BF3 from CoD.

    Delta Force, where are you?

    That was by far the worst I have seen teams.

    How so? I almost went with the G500 but went with the Performance MX instead which is basically the same mouse except it has fewer thumb buttons and less adjustability (in that I have 2 settings instead of one), but in the plus side mine will work on glass (and IMO is more comfortable).

    "-Added Extended Mags to the ASVAL. The Extended Mags can be unlocked at 200 kills with the AS VAL."

    Yesssssssss.

    Sensitivity on the fly is nice, huh? I hate using mice without it now.

    Soooo gooood, jump in a tank/ifv, crank the shit out of the sensitivity to get it up to the max turning rate.

    I am, which does make it difficult for me to get on with you guys, what with the time zones. I'll keep an eye out for you though the next time I'm on!

    That comes with a big nerf for the val, especially since it has a suppressor built in that you can't change. (If it's the same as PC)

    NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! Oh bugger.

    The VAL actually feels pretty weak in the patch, and that's coming from the PC people. It lost the headshot multiplier that made it so angry and gained some recoil to boot.

    Finally got five kills with the DPV.

    That was probably worse than getting 5 SQDM wins.

    That's not why I use it. I use it because it's cool.

    Using the VAL to be cool is like using the 870 to be cool.

    It's just cool.

    Yes. I like this logic. What are we talking about again?

    With a nice soundsystem, the "thunk" sound produced by the Type 88s in BC2 was the only reason I ran around with that gun.

    I want it in BF3.

    The 870 actually concusses you with a big enough subwoofer. It's pretty humorous.

    Was in a game on Kharg yesterday, driving in a tank with a buddy as gunner.
    This jet tries to take us down, I drive behind a building so he can't hit us anymore.
    He then flies really, really slow, trying to shoot some over dudes I guess, and I shoot him down with my tank turret.
    In the chat I write "I went slow once and it was awful".
    He didn't stop calling me names for the next 5 minutes till the round ended :D

    What is the niche situation for frag rounds, like how do they work?

    Do they set peoples on fire!?

    They suppress the shit out of people and do splash damage.
    I love to use them to break enemy defense lines cause the moment you start exploding everything around a guy, suppress him and everyone around him AND damage everyone in an area, they usually start running.
    Broke a ton of "sieges" that way.

    Yeah, I used it a few times and the range it has is amazing.

    I prefer the MASS with DART ammo now that I have it unlocked though.

    Sometimes I feel bad about not being able to heal teammates but I figure at least I can revive them if they die.

    two things-
    1) the 40mm buck sends a cloud of buckshot hate out a really really long way. You are so right.

    2) The health box was buffed so hard that standing on one during a firefight can be the difference. Real tough to give that one up when im not running solo....

    The VAL is still pretty great, don't be fooled.

    Slap a PSO and extended mags on that baby and pretend your playing STALKER as you tap fire snipers to death and bullet hose people from the hip up close.

    Also yes LOL REX its great now.
