As well as Grand Bazaar and "infantry only" mode, but I never see any IO servers with the hardcore and North America filters set which is disappointing.
Ok, Metro, too, but that map blows.
Does suppression reduce your damage? Im trying to figure out why so many times an enemy will have like 5% hp at 5m or less ranges after just unloading into them. My guess is suppression reduces damage. That or I hit a arm or leg while aiming for the chest. Anybody know?
I haven't played in a while, but it used to make your accuracy go to absolute shit.
Still does make your accuracy go to shit. Just not as bad as that one patch.

Yes, it does have a slight damage decrease, but it also helps slightly with vertical recoil. It doesn't help vertical recoil as much as the Flash suppressor does.
-Edit-
Version 1.06 patch notes leaked!!! Due out September 4 before Armored Kill release.

Suppression as in the fail mechanic DICE added to give it a "real life" feel, not the suppressor that reduces recoil, decreases bullet speed and not show on the mini map.
Reading through the site linked on the youtube video, these notes are apparently outdated but its good to see they are making stationary AA destructable.

supporession would be great if they would ditch the random bullet deviation

Is it just me or are there not nearly as many people playing online anymore. There are maybe 2 servers that are full with 64 players?

I did. I set the region to north america. I don't even have close quarters, but checked it to see how many of those there were. I only see one 64 player server full and it is a metro one.

If you don't have close quarters, uncheck it. Each one of those check marks is an "AND" statement. The only time that doesn't apply is when there are two check boxes that are mutually exclusive such as "normal" and "hardcore" mode where one or the other will take precedence.
If you check all 3 of them, you are going to get servers that load maps from ALL 3 VERSIONS. There are very few servers that run Vanilla BF3 maps AND Back to Karkand maps AND Close Quarters maps, AND is located in North America, AND runs infantry only, AND is hardcore mode, AND is ranked, AND uses punkbuster.
See where I'm going? Adjust your filters.
I got the itch to close out some of the assignments and am working on Wrench Wielder. I am on the 25 shotgun kills and each round I come out with the 10 or 15 shotgun kills it will record it in game with the little progress bar representation but when I hop out of the game it never gets recorded in the assignments screen.
Is anybody else experiencing this?

thats not true, if you have all 3 checked it will find servers that run only vanilla/b2k/cq maps. It will also find ones that do a mix of the three or all of them. The little icon to the right of the server shows premium/b2k/CQ.If you don't have close quarters, uncheck it. Each one of those check marks is an "AND" statement.

its a problem with battlelog right now. Even those who completed it had it removed. Wrench Wielder shotgun kills, and Scar-L Specialist mine kills are broken.

I did that and am still getting the same kind of results:

Add your region, server size, player counts, and modes that you want. Having nothing selected will get you random servers and fill the list with useless servers you don't want.
Roger that. Thanks for the info because I thought I was just too many beers in and was seeing things. I guess I will just move on to other assignments!
Thanks again, Zac.
It seems everyone who kills me nowdays is a premium player. Though, I kill them more then they kill me
Premium is just a season pass for the DLC. Instead of buying them at $15 when they are released they get them all for $50 or less depending on sale deals.

Not so... I pretty much noticed there is no FUCKING way, even with the same weapon, shooting at each other face-to-face, Premium always win... I even know when I get shot in the back, if it's coming from Premium or non-Premium n00b before I see killcam... EA is really pissing me off with this. Allowing n00bs to simply buy their way into more kills. It's not about money, I got $50 to throw away. It's about the idea. It stinks... I'm at the point where I no longer enjoy playing BF3, as it's becoming LESS and LESS of a pure shoot-em up, and more about $elling out.... And don't get me started on vehicle vs infantry weapon imbalances, ie 1000 LAV rounds to kill a grunt... W00T...THE...FUUUUUUUUUUCK EA?!?!? I'm waiting for Armored Kill, and will give it a try, but I'm already suspecting it's gonna be more of the same BS. Shame, shame shame... I actually find more pleasure from still "dukin it out" in Q3 Arena, COD 4MW, and even such classic as SOF2... Those are FUN games, if you can find a populated server...

And does ANY-FUCKING-BODY at EA know what the FUCK Co-Op means!?!?!?! I tried playing it, as regular MP is getting shittier by the minute, and the lack of ANY mode of communicating with your partner (if you can find anybody half-ass decent to begin with) is mind boggling... Unless you have a friend, who wants to fuck around on Co-Op and you sit in the same room, or have phone, Skype, or TeamSpeak, you are simply FUCKED!!!! Especially on HARD mode... EA, you suck major donkey-a$$ for making BF3 into the most frustrating gaming experience I've had since I became a PC gamer with Duke Nukem 3D... Bra-FUCKING-vo!!!!

I don't understand why you capitalize 'fuck' but spell 'ass' with dollar signs.
Also; you seem to have a bit of a nerd rage going on. Have you tried going outside?

Uhhh, thanks for the heads-up... Totally forgot it's free2play now... Used to play the hell out of it at LAN-parties back in the day... Anybody remember those? And NO, I'm not talking about Quakecon....

Hell to the yes. I am having one in a couple of weeks and BF3 was on the roster. We figure talking without headsets would probably be pretty beneficial.

I thought that was precisely what I said...nvm. One of us is confused. I'm not sure which, so I guess its me by default.
At least you clarified what I meant to say.
Lol. Wut? You seriously think buying Premium suddenly makes lag go away and makes non-premium members the default loser in every firefight?
What are you smoking? Can I buy some from you?
The only reason they always seem to be Premium is because so many fucking people have bought it or somehow pirated it. Know how I know this? I have Premium also, and every time I get shot by someone, its almost always a premium player. I tend to lose in face to face firefights too due to the lag compensation in this game. The client side hit detection and lag compensation was in BC2 also (yes we all know it sucks), and it basically means everyone you see on your screen saw you almost a half second before you did. It also means that on their screen your character hasn't even pulled the trigger yet.
The best way to compensate for this is to let them be the dumbass who sprints around every corner blindly. Sprint everywhere, but the second you come to a corner or other terrain obstacle, stop and slowly go around it with your gun already sighted in (right click). If someone is there, you save the half second it takes to bring your weapon up and you always get the jump on them first. When you clear the corner/obstacle, start sprinting again.

Official patch notes just listed on Battlelog, http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/#!/bf3/news/view/2832654785571482527/
Interesting Highlights of the patch (for me):
• Removed flares from gunner position in helicopters. With the right combination of unlocks, an attack helicopter could be effectively invulnerable to lock on missiles. Removing the flares from the gunner balances the attack helicopter against ground fire.
• Air Radar now shows friendly vehicles as well.
• Helicopter weapons can now destroy equipment with splash damage.
• The Laser Designator unlock on the Scout Helicopters has been changed from a Pilot Upgrade to a new stance in the Copilot seat (position 4). Like the CITV turret on the Main Battle Tanks, the Scout Helicopter’s Laser Designator is permanently available to players who have received the unlock.
• Repair tool damage against enemy vehicles lowered by 10%.
• Gun Master and Domination Winner ribbons and medals added.
• Fixed so the spawn menu always disappears when you are revived.
