I would say bring your console or put your profile on a USB stick and then sign in and redownload the content on his 360.

Yes. That is the plan, though I don't want to redownload the Karkand maps if I don't have to since it is quite large. At the very least my friend can just play online using the trial using his profile. If we are having problems I'll just have him use mine, it's not that big of deal, was just wondering if we could work it out. This online pass stuff is utter crap.

strange how i've played both the 360 and PS3 versions on the same devices and the PS3 version has noticeable controller input lag. BC1, 1943 and BC2 didn't!
Click to expand...

Yeah, the input lag is one of the (many) reasons I've kinda stopped playing BF3 and just went back to going up my 10K2 kills in BC1. It's crazy how I can get 10+ kills consistantly with BC1's bullet sponge damage rate and yet in BF3 I have to work my ass off for that shit (and deal with shitty flashlights that is an "I win!" button against me. FUCK OFF.)

Speaking of BC1: Ran across |-DTA-jok3r-|, |-DTA-CoBra-|, |-DTA-SeR1oUs-| which is apparently a clan of UK 'tards that have to rush into the first base with the rest of their team on Harvest Day BC1 and camp. No skill, despite the fact that I ran my ass all over the damn place and took the first set with my team before they did that. HERP DERP.

I mad. At least Deconstruction was a win and a loss at the bridge, respectively.

Just went 21-3 in BC1 with a 46.58 SPM for 411 points. Being Second MVP. Not bad for someone that "can't shoot for shit," eh? TROLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

I don't see why it wouldn't. It's technically a vehicle (but equipment) that flies. The same as another helicopter and jet.

I get that but you'd think DICE would at least be smart enough to realize a flying trash bin isn't going to damage a helicopter.

You'd think DICE would suicide the jet that rams the helicopter and kills the helicopter, but no...

Has anyone tried the increase/decrease sensitivity trick yet? I'm at work so I can't watch the demo video but this sounds like it would just be the placebo effect.

It helps fight the lag, but it is a placebo. Come back after two+ weeks of not playing and you will feel the input lag. How this got past DICE, I will never know. Because it is easily felt when you first boot up the game.

That problem would easily be solved by both parties being killed but the guy in the Jet getting a -100 points for the suicidal attack. I imagine Dice employee's, that play the game, having a shit ton of patience: Oh! A jet just rammed into me? That's okay, it's all part of the game and it's reasonably balanced.

... *sigh* No, they play like gentlemen in their offices instead of trolling. Hence, these balance issues. Demize needs to stop being a Sweed and be a proper American and YELL AT THEM AND CALL THEM DUMBASSES until shit is fixed. :|

Finally completed all the assignments. God, that BTR90 is fucking annoying with NV.

You mean how when you switch on thermal vision in the BTR how you suddenly have a zoomed in view right? That annoyed the shit out of me too, haven't they fixed that yet? Then again they haven't even fixed the spastic overhead weapon carrying for some of the B2K weapons yet, have they? GG DICE.

Scenario: Squad Rush

Location: Kharg Island

Game starts

a support sets up a mortar in the defenders spawn right in the middle of the street and starts dropping mortars on the objective.

yes, the objective that's on the 2nd floor of a building, which means there is a roof overhead.

thankfully i was on the attacking team!

Oh yeah, finally got all of the achievements! To those having trouble getting the Gunslinger achievement, getting 10 kills with all of the Karkand weapons then getting 10 kills in one game with the Famas worked for me.

But those mortars are loud, intimidating and make my screen shake. I would have stayed clear of that mcom.

Just when I thought we might get some news on a PS3 input lag issue being fixed it looks like we're back on to blaming peoples TVs again (despite the fact BC2 worked just fine).

The video about changing your sensitivity up then back down looks like it may actually improve the situation (assuming it's not fake). If it's true then surely DICE should have enough information to work out how to patch in a permanent fix soon.

I have just tried Gane Mode and I think it responded faster on but I am unsure....

EDIT: Got BC2 back.... I believe I understand this "lagg"

Hey thanks for the game invite, dudes. I know I'm actually pretty terrible (and i don't have a mic since i usually communicate with my buddies on skype so yeah) but it was fun :D

That Op Metro game was rage inducing though.

Meh, also either I can't shoot for crap or the game's hit detection was lagging due to japanese players again.

Loaded a half a m249 clip into a guy and he still stand with 82% health.

It was a rage inducing night indeed. The fact that we had that idiot PSNBERG and some-high-ranked-but-useless japanese players didn't help much. Maybe they should stick to playing Monster Hunter or something? I mean, they are high level players and should know by now that when you start on the US side in Op Metro you have to haul ass to B or it's game over. The other team was smart and covered the second escalator pretty well and from then it was simply over.

Then that Op Firestorm game...it was running back and forth from flag to flag hoping that the enemy team will get tired but no. Fucking WL took a ditch again because of those losses tonight.

I take full responsibility for the op. firestorm lost. I should of just got in the tank from the start and not try to fly the heli. Sorry dream for killing you like 3 times in the heli.

And I think the terrible hit detection was from us playing on Japanese servers.

Just about everyone uses a shotgun with frag rounds or an LMG on op metro.
It's a ridiculously fun change of pace though, when the team aren't horribly unbalanced. When the teams are constantly pushing back and forth with CP control always changing I absolutely love it.

I did the same thing with the m249 to a guy last night. I started shooting him as he scaled an obstacle, he then shot and killed me and the killcam showed he had 100% health.

tn2007, I'm so glad our team won that Caspien Border round. My game froze after I spawned on you at B with 20 or so tickets left. That team was annoying.

Its both the best and the worst map. Kharg Island is the map I find most consistently fun to play

That round started off bad because I was trying to buy the Air Jordan IV cements online last nite at midnight. I left for 3 mins like 3 times during that game and they got off to a nice head start. Lucky they were more annoying than good and we came back.

Urgh VoIP sure is buggy sometimes (360). Had some mouthbreeder dude from Brazil with a crying baby and someone yelling in Portoguese the background in my squad. I tried muting him, leaving the squad and even swapping teams and nothing could silence his mic. :/

You actually have people talking? Usually the game is a voice wasteland no one has their mic sign on. No one talks at all.

Makes the game not as much fun as it should be. As coordination is out the window.

Does anyone know if DICE do voice servers where you have to use a mic?

This game was fantastic. Absolutely wrecked the other team's jets (no one seemed to fly the other jet on my team) and was the closest I've ever come to getting an MVP slot while only using jets.
Doing flips to the point where you get within a meter or so to the ground is an easy way to get another jet to kill themselves or get behind them.
I wish more people would spot helos, so I could take them out without wasting a pass just to spot them. My only death was brought by just plowing into one of them.

Also I must say, I've been playing by myself mostly and it's a whole other game than it is playing with friends. Sometimes it amazing just to enjoy the game that way and sometimes its miserable.
Anyone in here want to squad up some days (360)?
