If it did I never saw it and never saw it being used, so I'm guessing not. That would alleviate some of the problems, though.

Then they stole yours. The US starts with ONE attack helicopter, the Russians start with ONE attack helicopter.

That would only solve half of the problem. The great thing with BF2 is that there was distance fog in the old engine. Which made it quite hard to snipe anything from a distance.

Well there's voice chat, but you need to pre-create the team in Origin. Kind of stupid really, but yeah its there
I had something that some of you may have done before but had never happened to me.
Sniping on Karkand from the roof of the hotel with the M98B and the other team is stuck across the water. I notice a lot of activity by the main door of the one big warehouse and take a shot.
I get 2 headshot marksman bonus kills in one shot
The two guys were lined up right behind each other. It was so funny.
Anyone else done this?

he recommended HiFi for 5.1 headphones. i imagine Home Cinema is for PC 5.1 and home theater setups.

How the fuck were there two AH-1s, then?
I guess if somehow they had previous captured the airfield and taken it up, maybe...Never saw that happen though, and I killed the attack helis a few times with a jet so that seems unlikely.

Karkand could really use a helicopter on the US side to prevent the camping in buildings shit.
Why would there be a difference? 5.1 should be the same no matter what the ouput is to - and in my mind at least, HiFi implies stereo (which just goes back to the naming issue).
so then what is war tapes for? i personally have mine set to war tapes with a klipsch promedia 5.1 setup and enjoy the sound of it

no idea, maybe some of the harsh sound effects are toned down since your speakers and inches from your ears when wearing headphones? i use the Headphones setting and notice it's much easier on the ears. i agree that the naming scheme is not clear.

Wartapes exaggerates all the sounds and it sort of kills dynamic range and precise sound positioning. I would recommend using home cinema instead, you'll gain a huge tactical advantage in the game by actually being able to gauge distance accurately.

Asking DICE to explain their audio settings is like asking DICE to explain their audio settings.

I couldn't really tell the difference between HiFi and Home Cinema on my 5.1 setup.
the expansion maps look pretty good but karkand almost looks black and white, its missing so much color the original one had. also the new US jet, the f35 I think? I can't see where I'm shooting the gun half the time, theres too much crap in the way on the screen.
now I just need 30 kills with the newb tube and 5 wins on squad death match till I get my L85A2.

Same for me. Sounds the same on headphones also.

Disabling the page file doesn't have to do with actually needing it. It has to do with certain programs coded so that they REQUIRE a page file, even though they may not even need it given the amount of RAM you have. You may not run into a problem now, but you could in the future with some obscure program in the future.
I like it more then BF2.
Played Karkand on hard server last night. my team communicated and we drove back the other team the entire round. It went back and forth pretty good.
Tank and running in the open when the other team has engineer/sniper all over is a no no
MY team advanced pass the square flag and a enemy tank rolled up. It didn't stand a chance with 4 RPG targeting it and also our tank was there to aid. lol
Really wish the building right next the the Square flag was destructible as it has a ladder that allows sniper to camp out of there and see the whole map almost

ignoring nostalgic feelings, i also like BF3 more. i'd be a happy man if they'd put out a BF2143 in the same way.
LMFAO did you guys know you can drive the bobcats on Oman?
I was thinking to my self how fun it would be to run someone over with it, and walked up to it. To my surprise it said press E to get in!! giggled like a little school girl.
Just Thought Id share.
Can you operate the bucket also???
I play BF3 with headphones and I get good positional audio using the following:
BF3 set to Home Cinema, stereo enhancement OFF
My audio card set to 7.1 channel input, 2 channel output, 48000 Hz
You're not fooling anyone at this point...

See, I knew my instincts were right when I was asking about why he was buying another account!
yes a littlebird!
I am sad that none of the new maps have the scout helos(atleast in conquest)
I like how it sounds but the positional audio is crap on wartapes
I was up there on the anandtech server last night dropping c4 onto people/vehicles trying to cap it

Bought the expansion on Origin. shows order completed, but I still can't play. I've tried updating the game and nada. Fucking Origin bullshit.

The reward system for both transport and attack helicopter pilots needs reworking. I commented on this way earlier back when the game was released, but I don't think anyone cares
Has anyone noticed more and more people camping since Karkand came out? I swear the last game I was playing I had about 5 noob snipers taking pot shots at me at any one time from every direction when I try and move across the map.
At least in HC mode, it seems as time goes buy the percentage of people camping with recon has gone up dramatically. Maybe it is because they just suck at the game and it is the only way they can get some kills without getting slaughtered.

Well, I've been using it without for over a year, so I guess if that day ever comes I'll switch it back.

This is actually an example of why a proper reward system is important for pub games. I've noticed a lot more people laser designating since the rewards are there for it.
The other day I aimed down them and couldn't find the person I was aiming for because they hid him. Its only ten kills for the first scope though so w/e. Still not sure what I think about it. The an94 has really grown on me but I might start using the famas in close combat.
Good thing he doesn't have your real name too lol

has anyone noticed a spike in guns not killing since the patch? i cant tell you how many times ive shot a guy in the head, or with enough shots to know damn well that ive killed him, only for him to then kill me. on the death screen it then says he has 0% health, or later on, ill get random 100pt kill assists.
this happened to me soooo many times last night. i was using a bunch of different LMGs with both foregrip and bipod variations. there was one instance where I was holding down the trigger for a really long extended burst. the enemy wasn't moving much and i was hitting him continually and he didn't go down. also, you get accustomed to knowing how many bullets will put someone down and that just wasn't the case last night. I'll often come to that limit where I know i've put enough bullets in and i'll begin to reload only to be shot and killed and then the killcam shows him with 50% health....very bizarre. and to clarify, these guys are out in the open without a health crate to buff their health, so that isn't the issue
