You ran into an asshole admin, there are plenty of those out there. Reporting it would probably be futile.

Fuking starting to hate this game with its fuking abusive admins at this point i would love Ea to automatically control them and autokick and ban then deal with these punks.

Idk if i got some bad luck or bad luck is hitting me but i was just in a Kos Metro 64 player server and the usa team meaning me and my team get pushed back to our base.

We get base raped and spawn killed and i got killed by this one guy i will assume the admin.Then a few mins later after my team complains about it this same guy is like back off from their base and i exclaim about him doing it as well.

So he argues about him not using the assault kit when he did and that he did it while he argues he doesn't,after a min i decide not to fight anymore and i change the topic and like 2 mins later i am kicked with this bs message about if i was killed in our base it was spawnrape and that i was full of it if anything else...which was what happened.

Kos servers are usually garbage anyways but i never had such issues with BC2,did the soviet union make a comeback and hire admins to be pricks on purpose or people intentionally aiming to kill off as many people as possible?

Well, on the Golden Gate, you can go on the suspension cables, boat underneath, or fly. Bay Bridge there are two levels. I think both also have maintenance catwalks underneath. It would be cool with blown out vehicles for cover a la Escape from New York. On the Bay, you can start at one end, then push Treasure Island, then finish on Alcatraz. From the Golden Gate, push towards Pier 39, then Alcatraz. Or if it was in the city, imagine Streets of San Francisco style driving with the buggys and hmmvs! They could even place an aircraft carrier in the Bay like it is during fleet week. Or if its just the city, fighting down Market Street towards Embarcadero or towards Civic Center would be epic. Have your squad hop on a cable car and take in the sights. So much potential! :biggrin:

The bridge can fall half way in and then you have to swim for it D:

Oh how I hate thee, Origin.

back up so I read

Anybody hear of random but constant crashes, but only while flying? I get it so much now it almost makes me want to stop playing. Only ever happens when I'm piloting, never as passenger or gunner.

6950 back down to reference clocks and it still happens, I guess I have to try my whole system completely stock :/

Try slightly underclocking/overvolting your card. I fly constantly and doing this has helped (or it could just be a placebo).

 

[chimaxi83]

I flew today for about 3 hours, everything in my system completely stock. Not a single crash, but an average about 10 fps lower, sometimes to 20

probably my system then, but I've found threads with a lot of other people with the same problem who are (allegedly) running stock too

I fixed my SLI not working problem. I just did a Recheck for errors with bf3. Even then it said everything was fine and up to date. When i went into game sli was enabled again correctly. Things that make you go huh? lol

I was so happy i blew up tanks to celebrate.

Later on you can strap some c-4 to the nose of a jet and go ram some mobile aa to show your appreciation to them later and a couple tanks if you want too.()

I laughed at this guys hit percentage with the SKS. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/ismoketrees/weapons/351356611/pc/

Apparently some people don't like having a learning curve and get frustrated to easily.

I'm getting intolerable frame rate drops that are absolutely ruining the game. I never had the problem before this is fairly recent. It's worse when I'm piloting and then FR drops to single digits and I crash.

I had the same sorta issue as you but not as bad.

The last server update for some reason really made the game bog down my i3 2100 till the point it was to choppy to enjoy.I had nothing else open it was solely the game and i was saving funds for a z68,2500k combo and i finally broke down that day and picked up a 2500k as i had just enough for the chip.

Issue went away but i never understood why it just performed like crap overnight

I think this game would be more fun without Jets.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

I think this game would be more fun without Jets.

jets really don't have much effect on the game though. The guys on the ground going 40-10 have way more effect on the game than a guy who's 15-0 in a jet.

Only time I saw a jet sway a game was when I guy went 70-0 in a jet and was blatantly aimbotting. Anyone who's getting 70 kills in a jet in a single round is cheating. It was only 250 tickets also...

I agree. Server admins should at least have the ability to filter out different vehicles from their game.

The knife hack on Metro is pretty famous by now i fell victim for it yesterday and it was funny cause a admin was live and kicked him pretty quick.

Guy went nearly 40-0 in a few seconds just knifing people from the us base no matter where you spawned and the sec you spawned you got knifed by this guy.

I can see why Metro is the hackers playgrounds its condensed and packed and i have experienced more hackers these last few months then i had the entire time i played BC2 which has been since Dec of 2010.

rumor is release in June.

June? What is this bullshit?!

DICE has got to be the world's worst developer in recent history. Talk about sending a franchise right now the garbage chute. :thumbsdown:

I'm officially done with this game. I can't believe DICE has gone this low with replay value. It took me 2 years to quit BF2, took me 3 months to completely STOP playing this garbage they call a battlefield game.

FML, gaming as we know it is dead.

 

[HybridSquirrel]

damn, i really need to start playing my games again.

new dlc sounds like it could be interesting. How much do you guys think it'll be? $15?

free....


jk, probably 15 bucks -_-

 

[JTsyo]

I thnk they do. I played on servers without the mobile AA on CB and KI.

 

[Tim]

You know what I find annoying? The constant ADMIN spam on some servers... it makes it very hard to communicate with your team sometimes because of it.

I'm starting to think they really need to redo the Recon weapon upgrades. Getting the 12x scope is fine, so is the bipod. But many of the rest of those upgrades are almost totally useless, and have no business on a sniper rifle. Russian red dot scope for a US sniper rifle? Why is that even an option? You can get a smooth pull bolt, that's great. What does that have to do with being able to put a bipod on your rifle or not?

It just seems like they need to re-think what actually goes onto sniper rifles in the real world, how it all works together, and get a progression based on that.

I wouldn't even care if they made some of these options enabled at some sky high amount, like 1000 kills or something (although I fear that'd just spur on cheating more).

I guess I'm looking just for a more realistic sniper experience...

I use a RDS on the US sniper and run around with it....super easy to quick scope.

I wish you could just plain disable chat itself. The admin spam or general assholery in it makes it on all the time.

I don't care about DLC right now, i think majority want to see what next major patch fixes.
