Or you could just use a joystick.

The server browser is pretty quick though. Sometimes the ping numbers will load a little on the slow side, but that's about it.
Also, when you select a server in the list, it'll auto-refresh the player-count.=

I tried using my wired 360 controller. Only half the controls worked. I was really hoping to fly with it too.

Well I just played a couple rounds of Caspian Border in the armor and whaddya know they fucking nerfed the armor. 1-2 shots from anything and my tank turns into a disabled pile of shit waiting to get destroyed while I attempt to repair it under fire + the mounted machine gun is extremely inaccurate compared to BC2 and BF2 tanks.

Were you getting hit from behind?

I must've taken about 8 RPG hits to the front before I got out to repair.
(..and then I got gunned down and the fucker stole my tank. :< )

8 RPG hits to the front and your armor is still alive before you even started to repair? are you kidding me? I don't believe you for one second bro. 1 RPG to the front did 21-22 percent damage to me.

It takes 1 hit in the right spot or 2-3 hits to the front for me to become a sitting duck in my piece of armor.

Well maybe it was more like 4. Still.

Also, I noticed what is wrong with the aiming...it seems like every movement you do with the mouse is delayed in game. Like you swipe it right, and it'll take a sec for your crosshair to move, and it'll keep moving for a split second after you stop moving your mouse... I'm hoping this is a problem on my end (or the servers') and not a "feature".

what underbarrel upgrades are there for the AR's?

Small hourglass island

dtacs: say that 2 my face fucker not online; +126|6125|Australia

M26 MASS underbarrel shotgun, and a grenade launcher.

Both can be used separately by hand, mounting them on the AR requires the use of the second upgrade slot, so you're at a disadvantage using them on the rifle, but its MUCH faster when you want to switch.

So what do the jet veterans of BF2 (like...100+ hours in jets or something) think about the jets in BF3? I haven't had the chance to try them out yet.

I've flown for about half an hour in the beta and I have to say it's given me high blood pressure from all the constant warning noises. I was locked on for pretty much 3 quarters of the time I was flying. I think this game is going to be a case of killing someone with a jet and them being bitter, selecting the stinger and sitting on a hill for the next 10 minutes locking on to you. The only thing you can do is dogfight other jets high up and either you lose and that's that or you win in which case you wait for their jet to respawn so you can repeat or you venture lower and get locked onto constantly.

Not a fan really.

UnkleRukus: That Guy; +236|5326|Massachusetts, USA

It was there, all it took was one guy for it to be annoying.

I think it was the mix of walkers and tanks that balanced it. More of those than gunships so people switched to the AT rockets a lot more.

Well then they've just overcompensated because when you're getting locked on constantly it makes the vehicle pointless.

Improving the effectivness of stationary AA would suffice. I don't want 2 people at different ends of the map being able to lock me all the time. It's just annoying.

It was quite easily rendered useless due to the fact you couldn't do anything against tanks which were more plentifull and the gunships had a shield they could activate and fly to safety...

Yeah there really should be a 100 point bonus just for dropping smoke anywhere near the Mcoms

The AA in 2142 bypassed shields because if it hit you with a shield on you didn't die you just lost power and crashed.

the jets seem pretty pointless. strongly suspect they're only there so they can point and say "look! jets!"

i haven't seen them contribute to the round in any meaningful way at all.

We were talking about the mobile AA, which didn't have the EMP effect

wow, do you seriously just drift along aimlessly whilst you lock on?
