Battlefield 3

[A Baby]

The stuttering may be server side. A lot of the cheaper server sites have TERRIBLE hardware that isn't capable of running a smooth game; even though people put up with it. Sad because I payed for the best of the best server wise; yet no one is in it right now. =(

The triple post was completely necessary to get people attention, no one was in.

So.. how is the game? Worth it?

[Belphegor]

fuck yeah!

The people whom put my computer together for me, whom knew I wanted a gaming rig, gave me Windows7 32bit for NO reason.

I've lived with it for so long because I haven't found anything I need 64bit to run well, everything generally runs fine on mine.

Also Stars what are you talking about ? I can go into my system and TELL you that it's using around 3 Gigs of RAM, I've been looking for ways to force windows into using more of what I have. I found a CMDprompt command that would force it to use 3.99 GB of my first 4 GB card, but I didn't really want to force my system to alter is function, so I'd rather wait until I have the balls to pretty much wipe my comp clean and start a-new.

Am I talking out my ass? Honestly don't know that much about computers except for what to buy and what not to buy.

The beauty of reinstalling and having 64bit is I'll have a wiped TB C:\drive and only the games/files I use/play today. I just need to find my installation disc..

all of the above, as well as memory. theres been a huge memory leak on 64-player maps ever since beta. ea released this game way too soon.

I noticed this, 32 player servers run wonderfully.

Hardcore mode or NO MODE faggots.

EA did put love into this, you can feel it, it just STILL has kinks needed to be worked the fuck out. Feels like Red Orchestra 2 all over again.

-Most recent epic experience:

Forget the map, but there was an alley way, one side our forces the other side theirs. Put 2 40mm grenades down the alley, killing 2 of them. Advance. Open fire on doorway with 870 and lob grenade, kills one. Continue through their defensive line, move into next room and take up residence behind a dumpster and around the corner from where they would enter. Three come around said corner to refill the defensive position at their end of the ally. Shoot all three in the back with M1911 suppressed, starting with the lead, and working back. See teammate make entrance same way I came in, me and him run a muck behind enemy lines with knives drawn, causing death and silent chaos among their team. (Like 13 kills in last 3 minutes of game) (Also hardcore mode so no "I have to triple tap you in the back with my 45 caliber pistol in order to incapacitate you")

That is why this game is fucking amazing, gives YOU the player the ability to pull of awesome shit and get away with it!

tl;dr WHY DON'T YOU HAVE BF3 YET EH ?

[Belphegor]

not as awesome as pulling off continuous 200m headshots with the SV98, this was on Caspian Border, found myself a nice perch overlooking the Hilltop. they just kept spawning there trying to find me and i just kept picking them off one at a time, racked up like 13 kills.

but yeah this game is a memory hog and you kinda need 64bit Windows so you can use all your memory instead of getting capped at around 4gigs.

Fav conquest maps so far:
Caspian Border
Bazaar
Seine Crossing
Metro

haven't played the new Karkand map mostly cause i can't find any servers running it.

[brett friggin favre]

should i even bother or would it just look and run like total garbage?

[maynard]

I got the exact same results... I wouldn't bother. I tried playing the beta, didn't work all that well lol and looked shitty. the games 2 beautiful 2 not play it on half decent settings.
