NEW AND FABULOUS NEWS, EVERYONE (WITH A PC)
Have you ever been playing BF3 and wished that the sun hadn't been going supernova? Have you ever gazed upon Caspian Border's wonderous hills and streams and pondered about the shades of green that could have been? Has the lack of colors besides blue irked you on the new map Death Valley? Well, dream no more, fellow battlemans! We've heard the rumors, seen the posts, hoped against hope for some type of mod to alleviate these issues - and it's now here, without threat of ban or punishment!
Created by Realmware, this is a tool that can modify the light sources, saturation, brightness, and contrast on a map-by-map basis! No need to fiddle with FXAA injectors to get colors besides the typical brown and gray - this simple tool makes it easy to completely change the appearance of a map! It's possible to add sunlight to a night map, remove the sun from a day map, or even change the color of the sun itself! You can turn the iconic Caspian Border into a beautiful early sunrise with but a few tweaks of the sliders. You can add brightness and saturation to Grand Bazaar! You can even change the coloration on a sectioned basis on certain maps - the subway section of Operation Metro a little too blue or dark for you? Bam! Slam those sliders over a couple of points, and you've got an entirely new experience without ruining the rest of the map.
HOWEVER, BE ADVISED THAT THIS SHIT IS FROWNED UPON BY EA AND WHILE PB/GCC MAY NOT BAN YOU, EA MIGHT IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT
We now return to your regularly scheduled broadcasting.
Welcome to the BF3 thread! Here's where you go for discussion of anything Battlefield related, regardless of platform. Try not to get into any debates about Origin or EA or whatever other stupid shit you have an opinion about. Just talk about how shitty the FAMAS iron sights are and how MAV ramming and boosting is atrocious.
NEW DLC OUT
Weapons list for CQ within!

Battlefield 3 uses not the traditional in-game server browser of games past, but rather a new interface in a web browser known as Battlelog. Before you start off complaining about how this has completely ruined BF3 for you, wait just a second! Battlelog is very quick, clean, and to the point. It is very easy to organize and join your favorite servers, and the filters are effective and easy to set. Want to play 64 player Meatro? Three clicks and you can spend the next 1500 tickets shooting M320s into a staircase! Rather play an 8v8 Squad Rush server? Click, click, click, bam! You're playing with a group of friends to strategically overcome and capture your opponents and objectives!
Battlelog also utilizes a clan-based system for grouping together friends. They're called Platoons, and we have several! Amongst them are the 101st, 102nd, and 103rd Arcadians. In addition, there is an EU Platoon! The first two are full of players, but if you ask in the thread for one of the leaders of the 103rd or EU to invite you, you can join it easily. Here are the pages for each of the respective platoons!
We use mumble to communicate and chat whilst we play. Generally it's irrelevant bullshit, but we do occasionally try hard! Come hop in with us to play, or post in the thread that you're willing! We'll hop on and join you shortly if we see a call to arms.
The mumble and vent in the vent sticky are likely not what we are using. Mcdermott and Kakos have supplied us with VOIP mumble servers in the meantime. Here are the respective links. We're planning to use mc's for now, and thus here is the information.

Randomly C4ing in CQ maps generally gets kills though
I think it's really great that you're taking the initiative to jump-start The Dome again.
My one request though, keep it named "Penny Arcade: The Angry Dome".
Lately, it had been constantly going through stupid name changes & might have been a reason people stopped coming to it. People were familiar with "Penny Arcade: The Angry Dome" server...not the "Ridiculously Long Semi-Quirky Potentially Funny Title That I Came Up With This Week" server.
I also would contribute to keep this running via PayPal if possible.
Let's restore The Dome to her glory days!
I WANT TO PLAY THIS NEW DLC AND THIS IS WHAT I WALK INTO!?
Yes the server name will be something simple; either [PA] The Angry Dome or Penny Arcade: The Angry Dome.
If these geese ever get their act together and figure out why I can't connect to, rename, or configure the server... without procon and/or why I can't connect via procon at all then we'll see how I can configure it.
Seriously 15 emails later and they STILL don't know what's up.
Why did I get talked into this company again?!
All i got was a lousy ribbon.
Except people won't fucking stay dead. Goddamn medic trains all over these new maps.
Also, is the LSAT just a bad weapon overall or am I just not using it right?
Bad weapon overall.
Fosho.
This is the big difference, and why I suspect people that like CoD over BF3 won't come over. It's really frustrating to get a thrilling multikill, then have some medic that wasn't even part of the fight pop you in the back and undo everything you just achieved.

Origin: ShogunGunshow
Step 1: Pop Out
Step 2: BOOM BOOM BOOM
Step 3: Eat Waffles
Slap the nails on the Saiga and then just blow an entire wall out behind a group of people.
Receive mad kills.
I want to spend more time with BF3 (and get less bad), so I'd like to get some friendly gents to populate my friend's list on zee Battlelog. And now I'm realizing that I don't even know how to link my profile. That's how new I am to this. Anyway, I'm downloading CQ now so hopefully I'll see you guys on tomorrow night after I figure out how to work some of this stuff.
Also, was there a 2 gig patch in addition to CQ or am I downloading the same thing twice?
But... you get the points for killing those 3 guys and you keep them.
Also, why you run around without team? Why you doing it wrong?
Battlemans: DiscoCabbage | Elite: Dangerous: Aleksandr Khabaj
Yeah you need both.
Don't ask me why.

Maybe he stumbled into the wrong thread since both have 'Battfield 3' in the title...

They don't think it be like it is, but it do.
Who would have guessed.
this just tousled my jimmies. . .
motion to make "tousled my jimmies" the "I like it" version of rustled my jimmies.
Goddamn lime hurts with the new color scheme.
I really can't get behind Gun Master. Just isn't fun.
