I was awful tonight. Other than when I was in a helicopter with Dragonistic and then the last round I played I was just constantly being killed.

Although in the last round I played I did get 13 C4 kills (14 kills total XD).

That was one of the better rounds I've had in a chopper in a long time, Apok can take alot of that credit as he was in the jet and we were communicating via Skype so he could keep the enemy jets busy and assist on killing the attack heli when it respawned. The main reason I struggle to do well in the attack heli is not having good air support via jets, it was nice for that to not be the case this time.
 
I might not be on too late tonight as I have my graduation ceremony early tomorrow at uni.

In other news I just had a 40 killstreak mostly in the Abrams on Seine, absolute decimation with a final score of 50-3. 2 words, canister shell.

Also got another troll kill on a guy using a jet to fly from RU base to A on RU side, I was following in the Hornet and he dives out quite high above A I'm around 500 metres behind and whilst he freefalls at max speed I come in afterburners on and roadkill the guy mid air.

Yup. That's me. Have been busy lately so haven't gotten much playtime in awhile.

Just hit me up whenever you're on. I usually play with my brother in the evenings but have been on pretty sporadically lately.

Had another poor night last night. Hopefully I'll start playing well again. Did get some good C4 kills though (including one on infantry, just for the sake of it). I love C4 XD
 
What graphics card to you use? Cause I want to play on PC, but have a limited budget for a PC. I have decided to get an AMD FX-8150 as the processor, but I need to know what graphics card, because I have very little money left after the rest of the purchases.

I have crossfire 7870's.

What is your price range for a card?

I can spend a max of 150£
I read in an article about this, and it told me to get the best of the last generation, so I thought maybe find some 6900's or 6800's at eBay or something.

What resolution will you be playing at?

Will you be doing any video editing/graphic design? If not I suggest scrapping the AMD "8 core" and going with an Intel Sandy/Ivy i5 quad core.

Might save you a couple bucks there to throw into a video card. You will actually see a slight increase in performance in gaming from the AMD to i5.

Look into an AMD 7850. There is soon to be a price drop on them. When they're overlcocked they can handle BF3 on ultra at 1080p and stay above 30 FPS.

If that is too much go with something like a 6850 or 560ti and just dial back a few of the graphical settings. There is very little difference in eye candy between very high - ultra. It could end up giving you a couple more frames with each setting you drop.

nice.

Look's great, im still eager to see how it will be reworked onto console though. Obviously the maps will be smaller but theres a few other things to. I think it will be better with no vehicle respawn timers. Also, what happenned to the snow map?. Is the rumour now debunked, Or is there still a possibility?

Edit - Ignore that last bit, I must be blind:lol:

So, the AMD is no good? I'll need to find an i5 at roughly the same price then. And I am happy with medium or high, so I think a 6800 will be enough.

The AMD is fine if you're going to be transcoding, editing, or graphical design. Any program that can actually utilize all "8" cores will perform better on the AMD. But, there aren't many programs and are zero games that utilize 8 cores. Most games are coded to run on 2.

Go with a 6850. You can pick them up for relatively cheap. Get a non-reference design card and overclock it so you can pull out a few more frames per second.

O_o

I have an i7 overclocked with a 570 and I run ultra at Max Res with 30-60fps. Maybe more I haven't run fraps in awhile. Planning on getting a 670 though. Local store here has them at a steal.

Zoology - will you be on this weekend? I haven't played with a good squad mate in awhile.
 
Blackbird.
