I like how every time you bitch about something, a bunch of people offer advice on how to deal with it, yet you just ignore it.
I wonder who's really delusional here.

Oh, because everyone that deals advice means its 100% correct and is a viable solution. What planet do you live on?
I was on Damavand (spelling) Peak rush playing attackers, an enemy littlebird was strafing me while I was laying down behind a rock. While he was swinging back around to make a second run on me, I pulled out my 40mm and launched one right into his cockpit. He was disabled, I reloaded fast enough to hit another one square in the front, blew up mid air. I lol'd

You didn't even acknowledge it. You just come to the thread and post exaggerations every time you get killed by something that you think is unfair.
So uh yeah, gl hf in MW3 and all. I'm sure that game will be perfectly balanced!

Quit trolling the thread.
haha that's awesome. also, played my first game of rush yesterday since the beta (been hooked on 64 conquest obviously) and finally got to check out that cliff dive on Damavand. FUCKING AWESOME. i must be a huge nerd because i actually said "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" out loud... by myself. sad. haha.

And this needs to be on every page so people don't think you have to play 20 hours to unlock "better" weapons. Damage ranges are extremely similar on guns of the same class, the only difference is firing rate and recoil.

I'm kind of confused by the units here...Is it amount of damage per shot at given ranges?
Firing rates and recoil is as or perhaps even more important damage.

Yeah I know someone was going to point that out 
But they also certainly depend a lot more on the player, for example people claim the F2000 is the best gun but I'm a lot more comfortable with the recoil and firing rate of the AEK.
What I meant with "better" guns though is a situation like MW2 or the BF3 Beta's UMP, where it flat-out did more damage than everything else while having a similar recoil and firing rate, so there was no reason to use anything else.
Yes.

amazing how no one gets the damavanananand mine map and the helo use.... I have started just hanging back by the spawn flags with the IGLA and a car just waiting for the helo to show up.
twice today my team had all flags only to lose both by our spawn and I alone had to attempt to defend and retake both....which I can't.
Also awesome is to have your squad spawn on you mid flag cap and just run away from it so that I die and flag remains neutral....

They need to increase the amount of points that that the attack heli pilot gets. Right now the ratio is way to low for the pilot and rewards them more for doing suicide rocket runs. Maybe up from 10 to 50 points per gunner kill, and also give the pilot a portion of vehicle disable and destroy points somehow at the very least. For instance today when I checked the score, I had 7 kills and 800 points but my pilot only had 90, that doesn't seem very right in terms of the reward system.
The turret operator on tanks and IFVs could also use a small boost, maybe 10 to 20 or 25.

I hadn't realized that this was the BF3 jerk-off thread. Heaven forbid you mention anything negative about BF3 that could be improved.

In Rush on the Damavand map, once you get past the second set of MCOMs, the attacking team gets to cliff-dive onto the enemy base for the third set of MCOMs.
And yes, it is awesome

Damavand Peak in rush mode at one stage has the attackers on top of a large cliff overlooking the defenders and mcoms.
If you are playing Damavand conquest, look up above the tunnel mouth. You will see a structure, attackers in rush at one point attack from up there coming down.

so, i just started getting ads poping up from origin after im done with a game. fuck that.
I know, and just yesterday I was touting that as one way Origin was better than Steam. This is what we all get for me mouthing off.
Where did this come from? Is it official?
it's not official, it's guesstimates. they get the distance by measuring from an mcom.
That's what I figured.
I tried this your way
End result is I have to download 11GB again for 5 hours.
Dunno what happened really. Moved the game, started an install, closed origin, moved the files back, opened origin again.. and origin must have deleted everythign I just moved back? because it still wanted to download/install....... and when I looked.. everything was gone
at any rate.. its worth a total re-download/reinstall anyway I suppose. I have been spending more time trying to CONNECT to a server than actually playing. Connecting... Connecting... Connecting...
did the punkbuster thing, downloaded that 48.1MB patch twelve times, DMZ'd my computer...... nothing helped
Cant stop watching :17-:21 lmao

Except you didn't bring up any issues, all you said was "BF3 sucks lolol I'm getting MW3 instead".
That = trolling.

Okay...Strange how like 80% of the weapons are all the same damage yet one or two are like 10 points higher (speaking primarily about Assault). Seems like a weird balance there.
I've brought up many issues in various threads, to recap:
BF3.exe simply constantly crashing (current poll over at BF3 official forums has the percentage of crashing players at over 75%! That is with hundreds and hundreds of players responding)
Complete and utter disregard for any Surround/Eyefinity testing leaving a broken mess which now makes up a decent proportion of gamers out there.
Laughable weapon balance as assault rifles/machine guns are the only weapons worth using in the game. (M249 insta-kill sniper rifle, shotguns that kill you from 200m away, etc etc)
Graphical glitches, green texture issues.
Falling through the world in Metro map is still a "feature" in which you get to suicide yourself.
Huge open spaces designed so stupid jets can fly around with little clumped together objectives in the middle of the maps. Tons of wasted space.
Rubber-banding/lag in which you cannot even play decently on 64 player servers. (one of the major selling points of BF3)
Horrendous squad management and no way to talk to players in-game without going through some ridiculous web site setup beforehand.
Going way overboard on "Michael bay effects". The sun blinding half your view-able area, stupid dirt overlays on your view, 10000 megawatt flashlights that blind your entire screen constantly.
Footsteps barely audible limiting situation awareness in close-quarters combat. I should be able to hear a 200lb soldier with 50 pounds of gear running up on concrete with combat boots behind me before he knifes me.
Just to name a few...

I can speak here. First Vega is above and beyond the typical / casual PC gamer knowledge base. I mean hes like the fucking McGuever of building ultimate cool PC setups, which resemble NORAD style control centers (See his post about portrait 120hz bezeless monitors). But most that try and give him advice are not aware of his technical skill and dole out the standard, basic, troubleshooting tips which probably frustrates him to no end because hes beyond that level.
Anyway, now that I'm on Vega's dick I'll get off of it. Vega, you spent a shit load of money on an obscenely high end setup and your dissapointed that its not working properly due to a half assed finished game, which is understandable, but common man you've been in the PC enthusiast hobby for a while and you know how it goes. The extreme gamer always gets fucking screwed until the very end.
Of course their not going to fully support exotic shit like your portrait quadfire eyefinity setup because they have to focus their limited resources on where the money & majority user base is....which is fucking mono-card 1080p. It fucking sucks, it really does...I mean shit, Ive got more monitors & gpus for my 120hz eyefinity setup on the way, but I know its pretty much all for naught until at least the second or third patch.
Just chill out, they will fix the problems eventually...fucken A, it took me almost two years before I could play Crysis for longer than five minutes without a BSOD.....because I was the sucker rocking a 1600p display and and two 8800ultras in SLI at its launch.
Anyway, I have to listen to the woman tell a story so I'll address your issues as she orates:
BF3.exe simply constantly crashing (current poll over at BF3 official forums has the percentage of crashing players at over 75%! That is with hundreds and hundreds of players responding)
(a) millions of players are trying to play at once, no matter how many alphas and betas a developer has, you cant properly code for that massive amount of influx...which unfortunately means all of us retail suckers are extended beta puppets. They will get it sorted out eventually. Nothing new here really.
Complete and utter disregard for any Surround/Eyefinity testing leaving a broken mess which now makes up a decent proportion of gamers out there.
(a)This is nothing new, we always get fucked, but eventually we will get it going.
Laughable weapon balance as assault rifles/machine guns are the only weapons worth using in the game. (M249 insta-kill sniper rifle, shotguns that kill you from 200m away, etc etc)
(a) Well what is it? Are the assault rifles and machine guns the only guns worth using or is the m249 & shotguns the only guns worth using? I think the weapons are far more balanced then most multiplayer FPS offerings...I mean name one multiplayer FPS that has perfect weapons balancing, because the only one I can think of is the original Halo on the xbox, but many will disagree with me there.
Graphical glitches, green texture issues.
(a)I have not had any of these problems on my mono 1080p or portrait dell u2410s....but I'm only running one 6970 at the moment.
Falling through the world in Metro map is still a "feature" in which you get to suicide yourself.
(a) who the fuck plays metro, lol
Huge open spaces designed so stupid jets can fly around with little clumped together objectives in the middle of the maps. Tons of wasted space.
(a) I actually love this map design feature, because I get to take my jet out of range from 32 individual stinger missles that are aimed directly up my ass and then come back around for quick strikes. We have plenty of breathing room to fly the jets with this feature and its awesome...BF2 didn't offer this luxury with the jets and it fucking sucked balls as a result. With that said, I really wish we could get an el alamen remake, a guadalacanal remake and a battle of the bulge remake, because BF3 really, really needs a few large spread out maps and those maps rocked.
Rubber-banding/lag in which you cannot even play decently on 64 player servers. (one of the major selling points of BF3)
(a) I have played on many 64 player servers which worked perfectly...for me the banding & lag issue is about a 30% chance, but they will get that straightened out eventually.
Horrendous squad management and no way to talk to players in-game without going through some ridiculous web site setup beforehand.
(a) Eh, they will straighten it out
Going way overboard on "Michael bay effects". The sun blinding half your view-able area, stupid dirt overlays on your view, 10000 megawatt flashlights that blind your entire screen constantly.
(a) I kinda like it all...I like shooting big ol illuminated glowing orbs...its like a mobile billboard that says throw grenade here! And I think the effects are awesome, but I turn all of the bloom/HBO etc shit off.
Footsteps barely audible limiting situation awareness in close-quarters combat. I should be able to hear a 200lb soldier with 50 pounds of gear running up on concrete with combat boots behind me before he knifes me.
(a) They want to promote the whole dog tag scavenge collecting thing, so they try and encourage the practice by making it easier for the casual gamer to get knife kills....but I actually get knifed less in this game than almost every other FPS.

The G3A3 (having used this briefly in coop it has a smaller 20 round magazine and takes longer to reload vs other assault weapons, also it doesn't have a underslung rail I believe) uses a larger caliber round compared to the other assault rifles. You'll notice that basically weapons of a same caliber (or essentially the equivalent, eg. 5.56x45mm NATO and 5.45x39mm WP) have the same damage characteristics.
The only significant variations seem to involve recon guns, which do more damage than same caliber equivalents, but are either semi-auto or bolt-action.
i didnt get kicked but i got warned, an admin was using mortors out of an uncap and when i used a mortor on him he warned me not to attack uncaps lol what a loser
so i left.Read up on selection bias, and get back to us.

i get it all the damn time, along with random disconnects. and i get the green flashing crap on my single card, single screen setup.
You make some good points, but it is shameful that releasing such unfinished products is considered the norm now. People just accept it. We definitely live in an era where you pay to beta test software en mass.
I stopped playing recon and started playing engineer and I am liking the game much better lol. It is so easy mowing people down with automatic weapons in this game it is ridiculous. Now I can actually blow up vehicles too.
Recon is a horrible class with horrible weapons with virtually zero utility. It's like the exact opposite of recon in BC2 which owned. Glad I switched to leveling up an engineer.
Really? You mean to tell me people that are having the problems are going to vote more negatively? You are a genius! How about talking about something that goes without saying. There is still a huge percentage of players routinely crashing in this game and it has nothing to do with Surround nor Eyefinity.
And yet you're the one quoting a ridiculous internet poll (that shows 75% of people with problems!) to back up your allegations.
