I agree though that keeping it HC might keep public from joining to fill up the server.

HC no skill snipers! Woo! I seriously need to learn how to fly in this game haha. Or learning how to play first would be a good start.

We should arrange a night to just level up and continually steal flags back and forth haha.

I understand his frustration though, personally even myself don't enjoy HC in a full 32/64 conquest, especially with vehicles.

right now the mode I enjoy playing the most is HC-TDM which is 12v12 infanty.
32 HC rush is ok too but yeah.. I'm not a big fan of vehicles either.

plus I bought this new Razer Deathadder which while it looks great and supposed to be excellent, I can't get the hang of it. I seem to like my g7 way more despite the malfunctioning buttons

hey anyone know how much data transfer it needs playing multiplayer?

I sent the money as well last night

Quick question, how are the admin setups going to go? Is there certain levels of admin access?

I feel I am pretty tech savy, so if you ever need an extra hand configuring/running the server, I am always willing to try and help out.

Good, I'm not the only one who's not a fan of vehicles.... I dunno I get people enjoying the air combat since they MOSTLY just fight each other (least the planes), but when you're playing conquest and a tank parks its butt on a point and there is no anti tank around it gets annoying. I found in BC2 they had more of those rocket turrets you could use - i've only found maybe a handful in ALL maps in BF3

I agree with this, and when I do play the bigger games of conquest, I usually find myself sticking soley to engineer, and usually only using vehicles. I wish all classes had some way of taking out tanks, but when I am assault/recon, and a tank parks itself right beside me, it is a pretty helpless feeling.

I do enjoy being in a tank watching enemies spawn around me and raking up the kills thoguh All is all, I would have to say that true Battlefield style play is with teammates and working together to take out vehicles/capture points. They made this REALLY hard to do though considering that you can't even pick your squad, or even talk in game (half the time the voice chat doesn't even work in the party system). It amazes me that in a game where teamwork is so important, that it seems as though an effective way to communicate has been left out. I really hope they get their shit together.

I do miss BF2's create your own squad thing so you could always be playing with buddies, now I have to wait for a spot to open in my friends squad for me to ninja in.

yeah a night maybe to close the server and practice flying rotor and fixed wing stuff only, i didn't find flying aircraft to be hard at all, but coming from other military FPS sims like ARMA2, it just felt pretty easy to get into BF3's flight engine. if we at least can get most ppl on the platoon to at the very least get their air-to-air missiles and be able to fly a minimum of 30 seconds without reverse looping into the forest i think that we'll already be 100x better than the general population lol

i found that even when we have done 4vs4 in grand bazaar we are kind of stat padding, i forgot who it was but by the end of it they had 12k points or something crazy like that.

yeah kinda like what i do, everytime, lol

i too am amazed with the lack of stationary TOW or KORNET emplacements in important places, i could think of at least 5 places there should be one in caspian alone, moreso i'm confused as to why no AA stationaries at all in the game, most ppl in AA vehicles don't do anything remotely close to what their vehicle's main function is and 3/4 of the time no one carries the Igla or Stinger.

and with regards to VoIP in battlelog, it works, but if you want proper comms within your squad you need to first get into a squad in-game, then alt-esc out and make a party with only those people, if you had a party of everyone in game it'd be 15-32-64 etc ppl yapping all at once. ridiculous setup by DICE.

I am a bigger fan of HC because it prevents rocket spamming like i saw last time I played on our server.

There was rockets flying everywhere. In HC mode this has repercussions because you team-kill when you try to play that way.

Either way I am good just dropping my 2 cents.

[Wraith]

Closing off the server for some flying practice is a great idea. Actually, I don't think i have ANY points for any air vehicles

I used to be that guy in BC2 , but found when I first flew the helicopter in BF3, it seemed much easier. I think it just might be the fact that I understand how it works now, as compared to before, where I had no idea what I was doing. Flying practice is a good idea though, and make sure to set vehicle respawn times to instant if we are going to be doing this.

^ continuosly capping flags is easy 250 points right there.

Once you have admin rights, you can connect to the server and actually start playing by yourself.
I did play a round 1v0 on conquest large and I capped all 5 points, then tried to fly the heli and jet (which I suck even with an xbox controller )

after 15min or so I won with 3k points

command in procon console is

vars.roundStartPlayerCount 1
mapList.restartRound

just don't forget to revert it back to

vars.roundStartPlayerCount 8

after you're done

Level 50 here I come
I did notice at about 2am, there were 11 people playing on the server, so the public does know it is there!

You are kidding? Let's organize some free exp nights so we can get the unlocks rolling!
Anyone rocking a joystick to fly the aircraft? I am thinking about picking one up.
