To add to that great list M-COM stations have a HP bar meaning attackers can use c4 and rockets to destroy it and defenders want to watch out that they dont hit there M-COM with rockets!

Copying this on the new page as it probably wont be answered if I don't:
The clicking/clacking noice, is that sniper shots hitting near you or something?

The sniper shot has a certain sound effect that you will hear (kinda like a ping) but there is also sound effects of regular guns that have more of a clank sound to them.

That's regular shots hitting nearby I believe. Sniper shots have an echo ringing sound.

Interesting beta ATI drivers popped out on the internet, but for me some odd reason they refuse to install, though people are reporting map loading times been fixed on ATI cards.

Not for the faint hearted. I got bluescreen but might be issue with Asus own CCC.

Got the Platinum Trophy for this last night. We were pretty much dominating Atacama Desert on Conquest. Since I had only the "Destroy helicopter with a Stationary RPG" one left, I decided to roll into the opposition's base at around the 10 ticket mark to try my luck.

Their helicopter was doing the rounds trying to fend off tanks from rolling into their base. At this point, I was pointing the front base's RPG launcher towards their base. As the chopper was turning around, I shot an RPG. It swerved a bit so I just whipped the cursor to a side and nailed. To my disappointment I only got the "Vehicle Damage 30" point message. And then the "Your Team Won" splash screen came up.

Several seconds later I see the Trophy message come up! I guess the chopper crashed after the game ended and they gave me the kill?

It was a challenging, but somewhat fun Trophy to chase after. Much better than Knifing 5 friends & Destruction 2.0.

Tried these out on my laptop. Didn't improve the load times any (slow HDD) but the framerate went from unplayable to very playable. Thanks for posting.

Nice, I guess most of the posters were HD5xxx users. I finally got the driver installed and it surely works. Before I had over one minute of loading, now around 20sec.

I got this on my first try on Isla Inocentes as a defender. A crappy suicide pilot landed their Blackhawk on our beach and i blasted it with the TOW. Luckkyy!

I was playing Recon with the SAIGA shotgun in Squad DM last night and it was a lot of insane fun.

So I just got some swag from DICE.

A month or two ago, a GAF member messaged me, saying he appreciated how much I had been repping the game and that their team really appreciates the buzz, and he wanted to send me some free stuff, as a sign of appreciation.

Naturally, I was hesitant, and quite honestly didn't give it much thought because I'm hesitant to just give out my address online, so I kind of blew him off. But a few days later, I thought, "Well, maybe..." so I told him about my apprehension, asked him to show me some pics with "proof".

So he sent me a few pics, one with my requested "NeoGAF" stamp on it:

(he wrote his GAF name but would like to remain anonymous)

Proof enough for me! He was originally just going to send an iPhone cover but yesterday I got the package and they sent a t-shirt and lanyard:

Official DICE seal of sexy (lanyard sort of in the pic too):

The shirt:

Signed iPhone cover:

Nice little letter:

Pretty awesome stuff, I'm still a little surprised that we have dev's lurking our forums--really cool.

GG DICE!

 

[Fersis]

Wow, thats pretty awesome.
Mad props to DICE too !

 

[Mr Solo Dolo]

Nice!!

 

[Pancakes]

Damn, I need to start hyping Battlefield 3.

Dice <3

Good job.

Godam Snrub. You just got insignia'd by dice.

 

[Xater]

Very nice from those guys. <3 DICE

 

[vixlar]

It's a magazine not a clip! Sorry, but this is just such a common misconception.

Nice video man

 

[Chaplain]

Does anyone know when new maps or game modes are going to be released?

 

[endlessflood]

That's awesome Snrub, I'm sooo jealous And it's great to hear that someone from DICE is browsing NeoGAF, for all of the unjustified whining and 'noise', there are also some very astute observations to be found here and it's nice to think that DICE devs might be reading them...

 

[vixlar]

The issue with this I've found is that:

a. Seemingly no other snipers on your team tend to do this
b. Other snipers on your team seem to use your spotting them as an invitation to steal your kill, especially if you're sniping near another sniper

It's not so bad of course, as a spot + critical kill assist (which you should get if you at least hit the guy) counts as much as a kill, but it still sucks for your stats. I'm not saying people shouldn't do it, but, I guess it's more like it sucks that nobody ELSE on public servers seem to do it, and when you're the only one that does it you seem to get punished for it as a sniper.

a. Well, you are being better than them.

b. Well, now they must run if they don't want to be killed when his victim respawns.

I don't get it. Why it is important to people to kill kill kill? I say, I rather spotting and weakening the enemy when I'm recon than killing. I rather spot a bunch of enemys with the UAV than telling my position to everyone shooting missiles everytime it is reloaded.

At the end, with this tactics, is difficult I earn the first place medal. But it is rare I get more than 4th place. And is common I get the best squad pin.

 

[Mizzou Gaming]

That was pretty cool of DICE to giveaway stuff like that. I love companies that remain close to their community even on a third party forum like this. I would have been really skeptical as well.

 

[Foxtastical]

Awesome to see the DICE guys appreciating the BC2 talk here. That's bodacious.

 

[vixlar]

It's definitely 100 bonus points for killing four or more enemies simultaneously.

There's a good summary of the multiplayer scoring here:

Mr. Snrub certainly deserves it for all the posts he did.

That achievement is really easy to get if you use the fast reloading specialization <3 can spam that tow missile so fast it's not even funny :lol

If Dice is reading this then could they post when they are going to fix all the ridiculous issues in the game?

How long does it take to change damage values for weapons and add a goddamn toggle crouch for PC?

Yeah, sure, I'll just get the artists and animators to get right on that for you. Anything else?

 

[Tokubetsu]

I honestly don't have much of a problem with the weapon balancing but toggle crouch would be nice on my left hand/pinky.

Four hours away from 3 days played :lol

i'm gonna go ahead and install those ati drivers. the 10.3a has been great, but i'm tired of loading into a map only to find B armed >:|

 

[hylje]

Damn it's a whole new game now with these beta ati drivers. I actually can get a tank in port valdez! The tedious 50-70seconds wait times are long gone.

 

[Slo]

What? I must install the new drivers I guess.

 

[Stallion Free]

Yeah, sure, I'll just get the artists and animators to get right on that for you. Anything else?

Yeah because neither of those issues require artists or animators. Toggle crouch is already fucking on the consoles. How fucking difficult can it be for them to add that?

 

[M.J. Doja]

Tried installing these drivers on w7 64 bit, wasnt digitally signed and couldnt change my desktop to a widescreen resolution.

I didn't uninstall my old drivers first, but now the install program freezes, so i just went back to my last drivers. Stability > performance.

Guess i get to wait on the quick loading BC2 goodness.

On another note, any news about the dr pepper dlc? :lol

probably as difficult as it is for you to toggle that bind or just hold the button down.

i never saw the need for a toggle, maybe cuz on my non-ergonomic keyboard, the Ctrl key is spaced perfectly for my pinky.

They need to make it so you auto knife when you sprint through somebody though.

 

[Taurus]

So I just got some swag from DICE.
*stuff*

If that t-shirt doesn't get you laid then I don't know what will!

But seriously, that is just awesome. Congratulations!

I had the install program freezing too. It was pain to get it installed. Managed it with going on official 10.3 first and then pumping the beta install twice (install informed on first go that the actual Ati driver failed to install). I'm using my desktop as widescreen (?).

But I don't usually recommend nor support these shady beta drivers at all. First time I had to just do for the loading. Haven't yet ran fraps to see what frames but I do have visual improvement on higher settings fps.

But you're right, it shouldn't take long when they release these goodies as official and whql.

It took me a while to get this one but then when I did get it... I ended up shooting down two helli's in one match. I was thinking, it took me forever to do it once and now I do it twice, in the same round?

a. Well, you are being better than them.

b. Well, now they must run if they don't want to be killed when his victim respawns.

I played a match once where the entire map I was in the UAV spotting people non stop and killing the occasion sniper on the outskirts of the map but we still lost. In the lobby everyone was yelling at this kid who was a recon and only got 70 points. Then the kid says "yeah, but that guy was just in the UAV the whole time doing nothing!" and then everyone yelled at him again because I was in second place point wise.

Too many idiots playing this game for themselves having no idea how it's a team game. In my mind, it's never how many kills can I get... it's how many kills can my team get.
