I want to teabag whoever thought it was a good idea to release Close Quarters Combat on PS3 a week early.

Those of you using a single GTX 580....what res/specs are you running? I'm not really maxing everything out....probably could though. Just curious what others are running. I want the game to fly/look as best as it possibly can.
Looks ridiculous.. hope to have my new rig up and running so I can at least try and max out at 1080P...
Cant wait...I am a late bloomer on PC...play mostly on PS3 with my friends but with him having a kid in all his time will shrink and I am starting to prefer PC more.

It didn't really, I was just busting your balls more than anything TBH. I haven't personally been interested in competitive play for a good 10 years myself, I'm more than willing to play for fun though.
Honestly, no. I'm 31 and have other life responsibilities. Work, school, and an upcoming wedding. I dont care enough to take the game that seriously. I play my way with some buddies and have fun, that is top priority really.
I have just over 100 hours and have always been a good player, yet I've barely got 300SPM and just under 1.7 KDR, and only recently has it been slowly creeping up, but I also stay away from the 64p Metro grindfest servers too. It's more playstyle than anything really.
Why is everyone pissed about the indoor close-quarters DLC?
Another brilliant move by Dice, it'll make all the CoD kiddies play on those 24/7 servers, leaving the rest of the real Battlefield maps for real BF players, free of retardedness.
But then again, I said the same thing about Metro being in the game.

True, plus for those complaining about COD using an ancient engine they finally get something new to play with.
I like it, change of pace.

BF3 Close Quarters is looking sexy
http://www.battlefield.com/battlefi...=eag3360&om_u=2289002810&om_i=_BPX5y2B8hUZJcP
ROFL Dice trolling all of us again, "One week earlier on PS3".
This looks exactly like Metro anyway, but furniture arranged in different patterns. I'll will most probably not buy this, I'm only interested in 64 player conquest maps.
Some people have fun differently than others. Some people like you and me have fun by playing well, and others have fun by just playing. Why are you worrying about people having fun playing a game their way?
There's no true 64 player conquest maps in this game. Bolting on 2 flags and adding marginal boundaries does not mean it's an automatic balance for 64 players. More like 32...funny huh..
I am cleaning my USAS-12, stockpiling frag rounds, and double checking my ammo packs......I will be ready and waiting for this DLC so I can find a nice safe spot to spam the ever loving shit out of these maps with my grenade-o-matic and engage in seriously pissing some people the hell off.
All the while waiting for the big map pack, and praying they put the AC-130 in!

Oh, I don't give a damn how people play the game, I'm just tired of people saying "I don't have a high KDR or SPM because I'm not a Metro whore or a camper" which is total bullshit. High scores or KDRs are not mutually exclusive to Metro and camping whores. I read or hear the same lame excuse on almost every Battlefield 3 related forum or discussion and I just went a bit haywire. It was nothing personal, apologies.
Sooooo I normally exclusively play 64-player maps but tonight my buddy wanted a change of pace and we hit up 32s instead. MAN what a change of pace it is indeed. Teamwork plays a much bigger role in the smaller setting (not to discount it in 64-player mode or anything) and its amazing how a few squads working together can turn the tide of a game.
When we joined the server our team was down by about 100 tickets and at one point only had one base in Karkand. Our squad managed to sneak around to one of the rear bases and capture it and I stole one of their tanks. With me driving, my friend gunning and a third guy from our squad following me around taking care of repairs, within 10 minutes we had captured all the bases and won by about 60 tickets. Started off slow at around 9-7 or something like that before I got the tank, once I got it we steamrolled and I ended 27-9. The whole time both my squad and our team were coordinating with each other; its amazing how much a couple of strats simply typed out over the chatbox can really pull a team together. Sadly this doesn't seem to happen much in the 64s that I play, those seem to be more free-for-all.
I've noticed a sharp decline in the number of players over the past few weeks, but I'm still having a blast with the game

This is honestly a pretty insulting post, and it does more harm than good for your 'cause'. Why not just respect your fellow gamer, regardless if they enjoy open maps or close quarters?
What good does it do to put down gamers and act smug?
Are people just getting bored? I haven't noticed a decrease on my two favorite servers. Both are full almost 24/7.
That + frustrated with Battlelog/Origin. Personally I've only had the game crash on me a small handful of times since release (other than BtK release day when the game crashed half a dozen times, but then ran smoothly ever since), so I'm still having a lot of fun.
More and more people are hitting Colonel and getting bored of not having much left to unlock. Seems like hitting "max" rank is a lot quicker in BF3 than it was in BC2 and even with individual unlocks for each weapon its not too time-consuming to unlock everything you want (most people stick with foregrip/laser sight/ACOG, i.e. the easier unlocks for the weapons)
For a lot of people, especially those in schools on the quarter system, its crunch time right now as finals are approaching..

I know people hate on Metro but with only 32 players it's pretty fantastic.
I hae had to cut back to playing 2-3 hours 2 days a week. its frustrating to see my SPM and KDR drop like that, mix in trying to work through unlocking stuff for recon and I'm almost ready to pull my hair out. its annoying to soflam for a 25 minute round and end up middle of the pack with 3k points, even though I accounted for pretty much every kill on the enemy helos on kharg.
the pts for designating and damage assist for it are supposed to increase in the patch, and they are supposed to fix the bug where you only get your 40 pts assist(that supposedly will be come 60) about 1/10th the time should be fixed.
now they just need to fix the eyefinity bug where i cant see designation boxes when they are in my FOV

if you want it a little busier 40-48 seems to do well too, basically accounts for a squad per cap and then vehicles
the main problem I find with 64 is it gets very hard to cap even when you do it right because there are 15 guys waiting to spawn on the blinking cap thats being stolen
but only if the team is paying attention of course
64 man is a cluster fuck unless you have at least a few squads actually playing as a team.
I prefer the smaller 16 to 24 man b/c I can impact the game more as an individual. I know that I am good enough to at least hold a point and take out a squad by myself. It is when there are 10-20 people spawning that I just lose track of who is where and get whacked.

What is the deal with that?
Sony paid a whole shit load of money to get all DLC a week early
I thought it was how they were making up their promise to PS3 owners to get a free copy of BF 1943 and then not delivering on it....

i agree if you consider rank 45 in BF3 the max rank. but reaching the actual max of 145 will take a lot longer than reaching the max in BC2.

Yeah, EA, go fuck yourself in the ass with a sandpaper-covered dildo. Kotickvision no longer wears the "lets bend them over and ass fuck them into submission" crown. First it was the limp dick approach to SWTOR, then it was the day one DLC shit with Mass Effect 3. I'm done with EA. Thank the spaghetti monster Planetside 2 is coming out soon.

That is what people with poor stats "tell themselves" to make them feel the reason why they don't have good stats is because of the game and not that they are poor players.
It's the "everyone's a winner" mentality of today's age that schools shove down kids throats.

What a sad post. I have good stats. Don't feel the need to brag about them though.
They would be much higher too if that's what I wanted.
Sometimes I just play, fly and waste time. You know, have some fun.
Instead of grinding points and kills. Keep telling yourself your so elite.
Some of us are, and don't need to be so smug about it.

I've largely stopped playing due to audio cutting out. Tried everything out there that I've found, nothing has fixed it. It's game breaking for me. Loss of immersion, loss of in game audible cues resulting in poor play, etc. I'll put some time into it after the next patch to see if it fixes my issue.

Exactly. When I actually play I can be near the top of the leaderboard. But sometimes I want to jump in an empty server with friends and just mess around. It's not all about the points. It's about the fun factor. Because some stats are divided by time, then any time you're not spending getting stats is decreasing your SPM. Skill is useless and K/D is not an indicator of how good someone is. On a normal playing day, I keep my kill ratio up, but when I'm messing around I take a lot of suicides. It's just about how I feel like playing for the day.
I'm only a few things away from each of the 5 assignments (2nd branch) for BTK. If I was to sit down and nail those out, I'm sure my SPM would jump because of the 50,000 points (10,000 per assignment, iirc) in 5 minutes I would get.

I'm kinda surprised Vega still plays this. I seem to recall him endlessly complaining about the game on release.
Not that I disagreed with him in any particular way, but I stopped playing after rank 23 or so.

With the way your sentences and randomly put together curse words are structured, one would think you play Call of Duty.
You seem to think having fun and having great stats are somehow mutually exclusive.
The truth is if you are a good player and have fun, the stats come to you, no need to chase them.
And just how are you suppose to weed out good players from weak players without using stats for a tournament roster? Spend the next two weeks playing with hundreds of people without viewing their stats to see if they are good or not? That's a real efficient use of your time..
Maybe we should eliminate stats from Olympians or professional sports players? Stats have always been a part of organized humanity to gauge individuals against their peers. It's not a perfect system but it's what we have. And to weed out stat padder's, cheaters and 100% Metro players, all you have to do is view their profiles.
My post was on the topic of a competitive tournament, not a joe-everybody buddy BF3 game.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but those two examples really don't have anything to do with each other. Sports uses stats based off a specific set of conditions - you can't submit a 100 meter dash time that was recorded while running downhill, for example. The different play modes unquestionably do have an effect on SPM, so you can't directly compare them. You can account for that, and like you said, it is the best you have so you have to work with it, but trying to state that stats like SPM or Skill can clearly define a person's ability is wrong. It's a lot easier to rack up points and kills if you are playing as part of a clan, using VOIP, than if you are playing on random pub servers, even if the skill level of the players is the same.
I use MSI Afterburner and have recording dumping to another HDD. FPS only takes about ~10-15% hit, and that's recording full 2560x1600 video @ 30FPS.
