the killer gets 2 kills and 200 pts but you only lose 1 ticket
each revive is +1 ticket each death is -1 ticket
that's why I revive everyone even those people who are around a corner who I know will likely die again, if he lives we just saved a ticket and he may kill someone, if he dies again he loses nothing.
so next time you say "you dumb shit stop reviving me when I am going to die again" it is probably me...
Heh. I personally couldn't hit squat with the SCAR until I unlocked the foregrip. I've been leveling up the G36 a bit in anticipation of the SCAR nerf, and it's been just as effective even before the grip. Maybe I'll try the A91 too.Wait till the majority of engineers get the G36C and the A-91. I thought overall the G36C was much better than the SCAR. I havent got around to using the A-91 yet, but I notice more and more people using it...err, killing me with it.

hmm thought you lost the ticket for respawn. Guess my attempts to not respawn if we were down to 3 tickets wasn't helping anything.

Since the day of launching Battlelog we have been working hard on adding new features and fixing issues. Today weve rolled out many of those fixes on Battlelog. The list below shows the biggest changes that we think you guys will appreciate.
The update that took place this morning contained over 100 fixes(!). This number is of course impressive but whats more exciting is that a vast majority of these new features are based on your feedback on our Get Satisfaction forum. Thanks to you being so active there we can pinpoint what requests are in demand even faster. Next to each change in the list theres a link to the corresponding feedback thread.
We monitor the Get Satisfaction forums on a daily basis and try to get a picture of what you guys want implemented or fixed. Worth mentioning is that community moderators, support and DICE developers are participating. So if you have feedback or just want to vote for ideas (use the star icon), use the yellow tab on the left side of the page. Thanks for taking the time submitting feedback. As always, we are listening!
Change list
More Server Browser filters
Even more filters have been added to the browser. How about filtering on game size, map rotation and password protection? Free slot searching has also been improved with added options. Requested by Power2ouse among others in this thread.
Remember me feature for sign in
When logging in you now have the option to remember your credentials. This allows you to sign right in next time you visit Battlelog, even if you close your browser. Requested by dannyboi among others Get Satisfaction.
Fixed server pinging problems in Internet Explorer 8/9 under Protected mode
Due to browser settings in Internet Explorer, server pings did not appear in the Server Browser and has now been fixed. This only affected Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox work as intended. Requested by FixWithFirepower among others. More info in these 2 threads on Get Satisfaction.
Play button next to server name for faster joining
When hovering a server in the Server Browser list, a play button will appear to the left. Clicking it will get you right into the action, even faster than before. Requested by dibley1973 among others in this thread.
Punkbuster check before game launch
Prior to launching the game, Battlelog will now check if Punkbuster has been correctly installed. This should fix the Kicked by administrator message some of you got after playing a few minutes. Get Satisfaction.
Refresh buttons for Favourites and History lists in Server Browser
The listing of your previous or favourite servers now features a refresh button in the top left. This will make refreshing your list of servers much easier! Requested by Rave-UK among others in this thread.
Server Browser now remembers sort order
Searching for servers now automatically remembers your sorting order in the server browser. Requested by NyanPrime among others in this thread.
Reminder about Battlelog's URL when signing in from Origin
Visiting Battlelog from Origin is a handy way of getting started as it will sign you right in. But you can also visit Battlelog from any computer and sign in like you would on any other page. Bookmarking your favorite pages can be very helpful!
Oh, man, it's Friday and I've been playing too much BF3 this week...but it's never enough!
does anyone know how many engineer mines can be deployed on a map at once?
I believe it was being discussed earlier that there was no discernable limit.
Tread lightly.

Tread lightly.
Two takeaways for me:
(1) a frontal assault on a tank using an RPG is suicide. With autorepair and/or engineers, you'll never take out the tank before getting killed. Attack from the rear and it's a two-hit kill.
(2) the damage to tanks by gatling guns must be an error. You shouldn't be able to blow up a tank with the AA vehicle, or better yet, severely damage a tank with the Blackhawks side guns. Come on!
BTW, did anyone else get a chuckle out of seeing one tank come up slowly behind the other and give it a shot in the rear?

No limit from one engineer, AND they persist through death?
Ya it's pretty ridiculous. AA guns would technically be chambered with fuzed HEI rounds which would give what, 1.5cm of armor penetration against a tank's 50+cm? As it stands the AA gun will usually win an up close encounter where all rounds hit. I question whether the Vulcan on the Viper should even damage tanks. At least it's okay for balance unlike the AAs.

Anyone else getting this error?
I did google it. Triked to run it in "compatability mode". No luck.
Been running fine since launch on 285.62 driver.
Only thing I noticed today is that Origin had forgotten my login details and the PING function was actually workikng on the server list (first time ever). Then this error everytime it goes into 3D render mode.
Yep. I ran into that when I have the latest drivers (11.10) for my ATI cards. What fixed that error was not running the game with Eyefinity. Are you using nVidia Surround? If so, I'd try to run just a single monitor and see what you get.
Edit: Other things to try:
Disabling AmBX if you have it.
Uninstall Asus smartdoctor or gamerOSD if you have them installed.
if you see my system spec below, I am running a single IPS monitor at 1680x1050 and have been through beta and since release date. VRAM is not my issue unless it physically has failed (bad chips).
This is a DirectX11 rendering error.
Ha ha.I wish you could disable rpgs on infantry maps. It was ok the first few days, now it feels like everyone and their extended family is engineer with scar and smraw(or whatever it's called). The rockets themselves are bad enough, but with the smoke trails you can't see anything for a few seconds afterwards.
