    Doesn't GoW3 have like, huge monsters and stuff in their horde mode? That's pretty cool I think.

    Does it compare to giant robots and space ninjas? That's in the ME3 MP demo.

    Also so sad on the shotgun retooling. Now I have to pick up a real gun.

    The "Drop em like liquid" COOP mission is the dumbest shit to be shit out of a butt. I need a PA dude to help me clear it.

    You are sad that the shotguns will more consistently grant kills with less whiffs ( misses due to scatter pattern) ?

    odd thing to be sad that a series of guns will be better.

    The only "dumbest shit to be shit out of a butt" on that mission is that fact that DICE saw fit to NOT put voice OR text chat into co-op.

    They had completely different maps for Rush and Conquest so Im just going to take 2 maps and mash them together:
    Valparaiso/Laguna Presa (because fucking pretty), White Pass/Nelson Bay, Arica/Atacama.


    Basically, I just hope they dont bring in Heavy Metal (holy fuck that map), Laguna Alta and Port Valdez since those two maps turned into base rape. Every. Single. Time.

    I would like to see them bring in Oasis, and I guess Harvest Day while theyre at it.

    And some more BF2 maps. And maybe a couple BF:V maps.

    Actually, I kind of think Id like them to make a BF:V version for whatever BF theyre on.

    I really liked BF:V.

    That reminds me, I need to play the co-ops. I haven't even looked at them.

    So if there's a sniper mission, Mulletude...

    Yeah, you 100% need to be able to communicate via voice with your buddy in order to beat the sniper mission. Which is probably the best mission in all of the co-op.

    First time I did it was with a pubbie and we won by sheer luck of picking the right targets, our minds were in synch

    maybe it was my soul mate and by not including chat DICE screwed me out of a happy future

    You can win by just leeroying it up. But if you want the achievement then you usually need voice chat.

    It could be awesome if the 5 different people I tried to play it with didn't blow the mission over and over.

    And i'll look for you on later Mink. I'd appreciate it. Unlocked all the COOP guns. Now just want to complete each mission at least once and be done with it.

    Is this game still good to play?
    Specs:
    XFX Radeon 6870
    3.0 duo core (Comes out to 5.85 on Canyourunit.com)
    2x2 (4 gigs) of RAM.
    Windows 7 home premium.

    Are there still squad leaders? Are the players team oriented?

    The dual core is a bit of a concern, but you're probably capable of running it at low to medium settings, and you might want to grab another 4GB of RAM as a "just in case" kinda deal.

    There are still squad leaders, but their only purpose is babysitting idiots and spotting objectives for 20 points per "assist" which is just whenever someone kills or caps at that point.

    Players are idiots. People here will play the objective, but if you expect a pub to do anything but hump a hill for his two kills a match, you'll be sorely mistaken.

    I'm getting a job in the summer for a 3.2/3.7 turbo six core. Want to get a good one and one that would last. Not to mention for a six core $150-$170 isn't bad.

    How important is RAM for this kind of game?

    Shot down 3 planes with SMAWs last wake island game.

    Stupid planes.

  • override367override367 ALL minions Registered User regular
    I wish there was another way to take down a full (mid-flight repaired) transport helo than just crashing a plane into it

    On the other hand, giving someone a pile of team kills is fun.

    Javelin? Transport Chopper has no defense other than just tanking the damage or getting behind cover. 2 quick Jav hits are enough to take down any passenger chopper, double repairs or not.

    That's assuming you have a recon teammate with soflam up and another engy teammate coordinated enough to javelin at the same time as you. That said, I don't mind the unstoppable transport choppers because they don't get much done, anyway.

    Hey guys. I finally got my copy for the PC. installing it now, gonna get Karkand afterwards. So what's this I hear about Injectors? Are they on the OP? I'ma go look, anyway, but... still. Any you recommend? They don't require stronger computers than what you normally need to play this game, do they?

    Your current specs are fine, you'll probably be running at medium at best, but you can still run it.

    4GB of ram is also probably fine, although getting another 4 isnt a terrible idea (ram is super cheap, and even though BF wont ever use 4GB, the extra breathing room itll give your system should be beneficial).

    As for the 6 core, at that price I assume youre looking at AMDs and as shocking as it sounds, Intel's i3 2100 (dual core, has hyperthreading) performs just as well as AMDs Phenom II X6 1100T BE processor and for the same price you can get an i5 2300/2400 which are better than the i3.

    It's arguably the worst sniper. They are buffing it quite a bit in the next patch.

    Try to update via Origin.

    Open up only Origin, then right-click on BF3 in your library and select "check for updates".

    It says its up to date, it's the battlelog addon that's the problem. I uninstalled battlelog in control panel but that made no difference

    I'm guessing the activex thingy isnt working
