10,000 M16 kills :)




The grip has an ADS penalty though...
Hence I decided to remove it on all my weapons I choose now.

I'd rather decide on a per weapon basis because it also decreases horizontal recoil, the worst recoil. For example I'm running an AEK with H-Bar and grip. The weapon doesn't have much vertical recoil to begin with but a lot of horizontal recoil. Combining both attachments and you'll get a much better weapon that is even accurate down range since the grip penalty is more than offset by the H-bar bonus (seriously that setup rapes faces).

It just doesn't make any sense to put grip on a weapon with virtually no horizontal recoil like the AK. Since each attachment gives you just a percentage increase or decrease it depends on the weapon which attachment is useful. A 30% increase of nothing is still nothing.

I went back to the AK last night after hitting 10,000 kills with the M16A3. The thing really is beastly now. I put the h-bar on it and call it a day. I'm enjoying the flash suppressor on the M16A3 though.

When did they put defibrillator kills back in this game, and how did I not know about it? Also.. why is there no stat for it in Battlelog. Weird.

Unfortunately the game seems to overheat my 560 Ti now. Skyrim did it for a while, and so did SWTOR. Few other games do. To keep my comp from crashing I turn fanspeed to max before starting. The game still froze. So I updated my Geforce drivers, hoping that fixes it.

does the frame limiter help, or is that a piece of crap?

What kind of temps?

Card stays at like 80 degrees c when playing a game, but crashes like its overheated. Not sure why turning the fans up keeps it from crashing, but it's not getting to the 98 degrees that the computer usually crashes at during stress tests.

BTW, it was hella fun playing yesterday. I'm getting back into this game.

Is there anyway to get rid of the jaggies in this game? They really hurt the fun factor for me, the jaggies on wires are really jarring. I use the FXAA inject and the in-game post processing AA but still, the jaggies on certain objects kills the experience. And they are really awful on some maps like OP Firestorm and Wake Island.

Man I wish I had the money for a GTX 680, so sick of ATI cards, never again!

Also played CO-op over the weekend and it was surprisingly fun! Need to beat the French sniper mission

All post processing AA is garbage. Turn that shit off. I'm using some 8XAA from Nvidia Inspector and it looks great.. seems to cost less in terms of performance versus the in game setting as well.

FXAA sucks too. All post AA is a shitty blurfest. Use real AA.

hmm interesting, I will try using manual AA

You're specifically having an issue with things like wires and fences, which seem to be the areas where FXAA/Post AA fails hardest.

yea I think issue goes back to early release of Half Life 2, I think these objects are called transparencies and AA doesn't work on them. Anyway I just tried edge AA and wide tent AA and both are rather lacklustre. ATI's AA methods are total fail.

Care to post some shots Grift? Whenever you have the time...

Man I am so buying a GTX 680 or better once I get a job, I am sick of ATI cards. Give me PHYSXXX!!!

I read on a forum for PS3 that only way to be able to have input lag to your advantage and be able to control the crazy recoil is to set the aim sensitivity on the game standard which is super low (I always have it fast like other shooters I usually play, having it this low reminds me of KZ2 since that had input lag as well). The standard is like maybe 5-6 notches from left, so thats very slow.

So yesterday night I played BF3 MP TDM with one of my friends and I got to say, i had complete control over the recoil and the aiming (slow but worked).
Before this setting I was constantly on somewhere bottom, but yesterday I played around 5 matches and in all of them I was on top 3.

I was using the M416 + foregrip + Heavy barrell + ACOG, worked great even on those very long ranges, I still could control the recoil to stay put, unless I panicked lol.
I was also using the M16A3 (i think thats the name?) same set up, worked great, same goes to A-91.

So yeah I am gonna start playing this game a bit more again and hopefully this low sensitivity will help me to enjoy the gunplay a bit more (still no excuse for the input lag though, DICE needs to patch it on PS3).
It was quite fun yesterday, I barely have fun in BF3 so thats a start lol

Well ever since I got the game, I would say yesterday night was the first time I had fun and was actually able to manage the control and the recoil.

Btw, whats wrong with the hit detection in this game?
For example when I see one of those respawn bacons and I am going to shoot it, I cant since the bullets dont hit it. I am in arms reach btw.
Sometimes I am clearly behind a building right after getting shot a few times and yet I die, freaking pathethic, feels like Wanted. Curving bullets around shit and you die. And I have enough health to survive that.

And sometimes when I shoot so many times with pinpoint accuracy the enemy wont die, but they shoot me and I die and then in killcam it says 0% on health LOL.

This patch is BROKEN badly, among them then there is the game breaking issue with no reload animation, whats up with that? :S
I dont know what the hell DICE is up to at this point but waiting this long for a patch? ugh.

1) That gear has a very small hitbox. Throw a fag at it. It's easier.
2) Lag.
3) You can have 0% HP. It just means you have less than 1 and more than 0.

They just patched the game. Waiting long for a patch? lolwut?

Lag, too obvious, but the game looks like it runs well.
0% means death, its dumb that they are alive when there is no precentage, silly.

Reload animation being not there, the audio just goes away and comes back at will and input lag being bad for PS3...yes they need to patch it, there is no excuse no matter when they "just" patched. They should atleast comment about they been working on it, kind of feels being left in dark and not knowing when they will continue to fix their game.

haha.. awesome typo :D

0% doesn't mean death. You yourself can have 0% HP and be walking around. It's a rare scenario, but it just means you have a fraction of 1HP. You can get a kill assist 100 too!

I'm sure the next round of patching should arrive with the next set of DLC. It's too close now for any other approach to make much of any sense. They've committed to patching each version in parity, despite the PC version being easier to update. On the PS3 and Xbox they have to PAY to update the game, and they have to go through a long and laborious certification process. There are no quick fixes for this game.. they compile long lists of updates into larger patches for these reasons. Blame Sony and Microsoft.

Oh, right, blah blah lazy devs. blah blah cry moar.

I seen plently of fags in the game, but they camp so its hard to find them lol

Well I have yet to see my own health being on 0% and I am still alive. Its just a silly scenario as to why it says 0%, put a 1 there to make sense because everytime I see 0% health on the enemy I just go "wtf?".

Anyways, I checked my battlelog just now and my accuracy went from 11% to 12%. I just started getting better because of the aim speed sensitivity but atleast its a start :)
I have been using AK-74M with ACOG and foregrip and heavy barrell, that weapon is great to use. Punchy, powerful and easy to control the recoil.

And yes, I do blame the devs since they are the ones designing this game, there is no excuse for it.
And I am aware of the certification for patches that has to go through Sony and MS. Bah whatever, I guess when its done we would know.
