DICE, how about PC?
Still no mention about PC VOIP, despite the its status as the "top platform".
TeamSpeak, actually. Haven't tried it personally, though. But built-in VOIP should be mandatory, since we already have it on console. I really don't know why they took a step back with this. This makes playing with randoms suck.
Damn i'm quite suprised that my W/L is 0.97. BTW has anyone problems with battlelog? I doesn't show my famas kills?
Same here. I think they're holding back the stats until Karkand is released for everybody.

If you mean for the gunships (AH-1Z and the like), I'm down with that. I'm not that good at being a chopper gunner for the UH-1Y or KA-60. But then again... I live on the other side of the world, so time zones are an issue. Oh well.

There's Team deathmatch like MW3.
Then there's conquest & rush where you take over bases and fight in huge maps. Lots of teamwork is involved. If you have crap team it can be frustrating.
Better graphics engine than MW3.
There's vehicles like jets, boats, helicopters, tanks.
Desructible buildings and walls.
Man when I first got this game all I did was play Rush and I became decent. After that I switched to TDM and got good at that usually top 3 in the team alot of times. Now I switched back to Rush/Conquest I ##*@+%* suck lmao. What's even worse is when you team don't know what their doing smh.

Back to Karkand just released on PC. Wow. Having a lot of trouble hopping onto a server since there are LOOOOOONG queues. Everyone's playing. Wake Island is
so far.
Here's a screenshot I took earlier. Used Fraps... but the color seems a bit off. Definitely looks better than that. Settings are on Ultra, btw.
Here's the uncompressed version:

So I took a bad photo... it was practically against the sun so the colors were washed out.
Here's a better one, with my back turned to the sun, so you get to have an idea how it looks like with the FXAA Injector added. Note the bad FPS (my GPU (GTX 560 Ti) can barely handle Ultra, but it's playable (until something explodes beside you.
). Trying to overclock my system bit-by-bit for now (CPU @ 4.0 GHz/ GPU @ 882MHz).

I didn't see anything about nerfing on the list of the updates on the Battlefield blog, so maybe the patches for other platforms are indeed platform specific. If anything, they've increased the utility of jets and helis by increasing their power against infantry and slightly reducing the effectiveness of anti-air. Also, less damage from Stinger missilesI'm currently downloading the update, so this is all based on the info DICE has provided here:
http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/bat...d-3-gets-client-update-on-xbox-360-today.aspx'
edit: Sweet baby Jesus, that F-35 handles like it's stuck in mud
. Went 12-2 first time using it. If you're against a somewhat competent pilot that knows how to outmaneuver you (which, if you're in an F-35 and he's in a Flanker, is child's play) you're done. It just won't turnIt is fun to use it though.

the rubber band in your drive is loose. the best option is opening the drive cleaning the rubber band and the cogs around it with rubbing alcohol

you dont die with 3 seconds of spawning
im not big on these games, i bought both, MW3 campaign > battlefield. Online though, i prefer bf3. Theres strategies to the games. not just killing people like arcade games.
Everyone in the squad can be assigned different jobs and if done correctly, games like squad rush can be so fun

Try these.
After accidentally dodging a missile, I've unlocked the secret to actually dodging them (finally). Took a bit of trial and error in a previous match but I finally got the hang of it. I dodged 7 missiles in around 45 seconds (they were separated by a few seconds each), it's like the whole other team was targeting me (if only I got this on video, i nearly %!$* my pants lol). I didn't pop flares once that match; overall I dodged maybe 20 missiles, not a single hit. I've not tried this yet on Air to air missiles:
To illustrate, it's basically an upside down Immelmann turn (word to Starfox) See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immelmann_turn
Instead of going straight (in the first part of the maneuver), try and gain some altitude by slightly pointing your jet up ( so you don't hit the ground when you come back around). You don't need to do a barrel roll when you come out of the turn (unless you wanna be fancy).
Slightly more detailed explanation:
Spoiler [+]
Gauge the general direction of who is locking on to you. If you think you are heading toward the person locking on to you, then turn around immediately and head the other way. Your objective is to make as much space b/w you and the main battlefield as you can (by heading away from the battlefield). Try and gain altitude as well because you need a lot of ground clearance for this to work. Wait for the frantic beeping that tells you that a missile is tailing you. Flip your jet upside down, count to 3, and make a loop while braking. 3/4 of the way through the loop (just slightly after you aren't perpendicular to the ground), hit the throttle. You should hear the missile go right past your plane. Keep in mind, this isn't a loop-the-loop, it's a very sharp turn, all you're doing is making a loop so you can head the other way. Basically what you're doing is making the missile trail you just enough, and then putting distance b/w you and the missile as quickly as possible. Exaggerate the portion of the turn when your just starting to go perpendicular and when you are perpendicular to the ground to maximize the distance b/w you and the missile. To estimate, the missile should be around 1/2 way to you when you start the turn.

^ Can't believe someone posted about ACM on NT.
Good stuff, sir.
Will try that upside-down Immelman Turn later. This seems more useful on open maps like the Gulf of Oman. Personally, on maps like Kharg Island, I just fly NOE / as low as I can and just duck behind mountains to evade a lock-on.
I wish the flight ceiling was raised a bit more than it currently is. 700m isn't much, and that fake $&@£ stall crap DICE put can be annoying at times.
