Very similiar setup. You will like it, I promise.

I was going to go with that Asus board, but apparently their rep for making a solid board has gone down the shitter in the past couple of years, along with alot of QC problems. I remembered from the P4 days that Abit made a really good mobo, but they cut their operation down to like nothing and they dont make them anymore. I read alot of good things about the AsRock board, so I went with it.

BOROSUN

lol ...you should really wait for the 3.0 graphic cards.

or atleast get a 3.0 mobo.

Did they change bullet drop with the update? I haven't played in a while but did a little last night, and I don't know if it was just me, but it really felt like I was having to aim higher than I normally had to (SVD). If they did, Sweeet.

A detailed look at Squad refinements

A detailed look at Squad refinements

Today’s PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.

First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.

For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position –- the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.

i hope they nerf the ir scopes next.

ILoveMyRHS13

Holy mother fuck, this. It seems like anytime I get killed anymore it's by a dude with an IR scope, suppressor, and a foregrip.

Also, I'm tired of being blinded by flashlights in the fucking day time.

is there any reason NOT to use the supressor and foregrip for 90% of guns?

I had that problem too, a restart solved the issue for me.
I was also having a issue with the way Origin was launching the game, it would cause the top portion of the screen to be like etched but transparent from the first frame. Its fixed now.

Also, my update was only 400mb iirc???

HyperTek

yeah it works now, did a search and i guess there was some update files for the russian version i had lol

:/ might just do that, I'm kinda forced to get a new PC as I'm 99% sure that my old one won't be able to play BF3

I mostly use a supressor on all my guns (depends on the map.) After I got over my CQ habits, I started using the sv98 with an ACOG/straight pull bolt/no secondary. Things a fucking beast and in one day my hit percent has gone up 1.5%. I'd say that's pretty good considering my main weapons are submachineguns and the only sniper I used was the MK11. Close quarters single shot to the chest=Kill.

i got my longest headshot 654m on a 8x scope m98b . 12x is real garbage because of bullet tracer is incorrect blocks you and needs to be fixed. i use also the 4x and 3.4x.

i wish i can hit like 1000m/2000m with .338/.50 like in irl.



also i hate how you cant have the bolt and the bipod.also man, the m98b reload animation is so long, i actually browse zilvia while i reload. unlike the usas12 is retardly fast, i'm running away (to a support) most of the time because i already blazed all my ammo.

ZilviaKid

98b would be stupid OP with both of those, its already a one hit kill without a head shot

I played a little last night because I wanted to up my longest headshot. I was about to give up because on the 360, the graphics start to break up at around 400m, so I was getting mad. Then I hit a 600 something and was happy because it beat my record, then I went on to hit a 774 in the same game.

Its usually two shot, unless opponent has slight dmg already w hardcore 60%hp.
You get dmg from like jumping off a car.

Also last night I had to 2 shot some guy face sticking out a window. It's retarded.

Op my ass. Mag learned the hard way. They had a late dmg increase on .50 patch but most gamers already abandon the game. Bf should stick to more to realistic sim game not cod way.

BOROSUN

I might have to go prone with bipod to beat 774m. I really hate taking off my view of the target.

ILoveMyRHS13

How far do bullets travel until they disappear? I have a 688m headshot but anything longer and the tracer disappears so I don't know where I'm shooting, haha.

I love how everyone assumes the Barrett is a .50 caliber The 98b is chambered for a .338 caliber lapua magnum round.

I don't know how it is on the PC but on the console version the mountain peaks disappear visually and you have snipers floating in the air, yet the mountains are still physically there catching your rounds. It makes for really difficult ranging and drop compensation when counter sniping. I wish the 12x ballistics was a mil-dot reticle... much easier to range than the ballistic.

On the beta I completed support but I've been really happy with assault class now. I do miss dropping all my c4s on top of a camping prone sniper though

BOROSUN

i like how you're assuming that everyone assume that barrets are .50.

bf3 is the only one that doesnt have a .50. i barely used the m95 on bc/bc2

I haven't been playing often lately :/
