Just something I noticed. Getting into a match is considerably long.
If you look on your task bar, you'll see the game launch. I've noticed it takes a long time if I wait for the game to come up but if I click on the game once its launched it loads more quickly.

Seems to help. I'm wondering if BF3 is that much more demanding than bfbc2. I was playing bfbc2 on high. Now my rig is struggling with this game. I'm wondering whether it's my set up or just lag.

yeah an old amd cpu and a 4870 ain't gonna cut it sorry.
The CPU is fine for BF3. Even on 64p servers, I have a hard time going over 85% usage on my overclocked 955. The game runs quite smooth.
A 4870 on the other hand, that's going to be a problem
I would bet its a video card driver issue.OK Guys, Running a 2600k @ 4.3GHz, 7870 @ 1.25GHz on Ultra 1080p, runs smooth but the gpu is @ 60-70%, 12.8 Drivers. Anyone else seeing this?
Vsync is off, FPS @ 50

Oh and btw do you guys think we'll hit 1M views before the next map pack? lol
Stationary and mobile AA cannon damage has been reduced by 30% versus the gunship.
Rationale: This fixes an issue where it was too easy for players to use stationary or mobile AA to shoot down the gunship from the other side of the map.
Jet cannon damage has been reduced by 50% versus the gunship.
Rationale: In Conquest mode, jets have been able to single-strafe a gunship and destroy it. This re-balance will require more skill from pilots to take it down.
The delay before moving the gunship forward to a new base in Rush mode has been increased from 15 to 30 seconds.
Rationale: Previously, the gunship was moved to the next base so quickly that it was possible to parachute from it into the base before defenders were able to prepare. This tweak will give defenders time to fall back and protect the valuable M-COM stations as intended.
The Delay between gunship spawns has been increased from 90 to 120 seconds in Rush mode.
Rationale: After destroying the gunship in Rush mode, it reappeared too quickly to be well-balanced. With a 50% increase in spawn time for the gunship, defenders will now have more time to focus on the crates and less of a constant overhanging threat from the gunship.
Initial delay before the gunship spawns in Rush mode has been increased from 15 to 60 seconds.
Rationale: Before this update, the gunship gunners could find the enemy before the round and instakill them when the pre-round timer ran out. Now, it will take a full minute before the gunship will spawn, giving defenders ample time to prepare.

I can' t believe they use a word like Rationale
That is the last word they should use.
DUH would be better
I recently just started playing BF3 again...this game is still extremely fun. I'm debating on buying the newest DLC (Armored...something). I have the B2K pack but I'm wondering if it is worth buying the premium at this point. Also, seems like the B2K maps are dead, at least for conquest. Either that or battlelog isn't listing the servers correctly according to my filter settings?
Saw that the other day. Much needed IMO. I love the gunship, but it is insanely overpowered in rush. Hell, it shouldn't even be in there for Rush mode. Attackers get choppers, jet, and the gunship. And since the gunship is so overpowered, half the defending team is loading up stingers/igla's to counter it, then that's a whole bunch of people not carrying AT missiles to deal with the tanks. The only time I have ever seen the defending team win on the AK maps is when the attackers were absolutely terrible noobs and the teams were stacked.No one has posted this yet? I haven't done Rush yet but alot of people were talking about the AC-130

Most people are happy with AK it seems, a lot less bitching here ..
The Grad/MLRS is disappointing to. They are too weak and their unlocks tend to be cut/pastes from the IFV/APCs. They seem like poorly thought out units in general.
So as soon as I heard many moons ago that EA was doing this Premium stuff I said "F this" and swore off BF3.
Now that it's been in effect for awhile, what are y'alls thoughts on it? I'm thinking about getting back into BF3.
Yeah, I remember hearing that a lot of people weren't happy with CQ but the consensus seems to be mostly positive on AK.
I understand there are new weapons available only to Premium users; do these give any kind of advantage?
ETA: BTW if somebody wants to squad up sometime my handle on battlelog is bofuf.
