Hey guys, I'm upgrading my PC on Monday so I can play games like Battlefield 3 hopefully at a high frame-rate with high/ultra settings.
What can I expect to get in terms of frame-rate and quality with an: ATI Radeon 7950 3GB i5 2550k 3.4GHz 4GB DDR3 RAM (low I know, but I can't afford any more for the time being - is 4GB still enough?) 1920x1080 700W PSU Windows 7 64-bit
I'm happy to turn off certain options like Antialiasing completely, perhaps motion blur if necessary and so forth.
Thanks in advance.

.. Are you taking the f*cking piss?
Quoted for this page.
As if his RendeZook video wasn't impressive enough...
That one aint too bad neither.
Though if we were on PC we would have alot better chances to do awesome stuff.
Btw, on firestorm I managed to take the chopper out with an unguided shell from B all the way to their spawn, and took the havoc out. Took two tries but then BOOM, couldnt f*cking believe it. I had no idea where the shell would go or even if I hit it, but I almost knew it was going to do it some reason, some 6th sense, like I could see the future and I already felt what it would feel like to hit it and know that I would screach like a little girl. And I did.
I also managed to TV Guide the cobra on kharg from our base to theirs. Pure luck because their chopper was gaining height at a steady rate and my missile had just the perfect arc enough for me to hold it going up and it went straight into the f*cker. Felt so satisfying, like shooting an arrow at a block of cheese.
Does anyone here use the G553 or the G53? They are f*cking brilliant.
I have been going Engineer a lot, it's the best kit for me.
Yeah the G53 is awesome as it's really good at close to medium range. I need to start using support more though as I'm still on the starting weapons! Have any of you guys got a class which you just never use?

That's set up though, not really impressive. PC does allow for more opportunity though.
The TV guided missile is probably my biggest let-down in BF3, it's pathetically bad and and it's even worse than it was on release. It's so f*cking glitched it's not worth using, which is f*cking annoying because it was pretty much the best thing in BF2. You can't control it, at least on release it was a little smoother, but even if you man up and use it anyway because of how awesome it should be you're rewarded with nothing but the f*cking thing bouncing off everything you hit. Add on to that the fact that it broken as hell fact that your 'body' moves with the missile and the two bugs with that. First, if you go out of the playable area in the missile it counts your body as being there, and secondly is a really major one - The gunner seat position is open to be spawned in whilst you've fired, and if someone spawns in it, their Xbox crashes.
I'd suggest watching Duck and Cover: Redux to see what TV guided missiles should be/were like, as used by the best solo chopper pilot in BF3 in my favourite frag video from BF2. The quality on YouTube is awful, it's split into two parts, and the audio is removed, so check it out here on own3d.tv. For lazy people, skip to 5:30 to see heli domination (in terrible quality).
Nice one on taking down the heli both times though!
ps: 2 TV guided missiles blow up the enemy AA, though it respawns after 5~ seconds.
edit: Also dunno why you took me off your Battlelog friends Daz, but.. eh, fair enough I guess.

Yup, I use it regular basis. Can't wait to unlock the G36

I just started playing this game again and I'm amazed again by how entertaining it is. I just unlocked Flares for the Jet finally, now I just need missiles.

I recently started playing rush and using the frogfoot and the thunderbolt, and I find it more of a use to be in jets in rush, because there is more of a ground attack use than the flankers and super hornets. They can get AA and AT kills in rush, something thats much more difficult to do in conquest.
I am having the best games ever. 2 medals and more service stars. God it is awesome. Yesterday I levelled from 29 to 31. I love the G36. I have an excellent strategy to use in the map of the TV station as a sniper.
Guys I sh*t you not. I was under the map in Conquest Op Metro. Suddenly me whole squad was there.

Was it like the glitches in the beta, where the ground f*cked up and you fell through?
If you are talking about Sharqi Peninsula, it is actually better if you use the MAV to teleport to the top of the tall building next to the water. It allows you to get a much better view of enemies that go on the TV station, and you get a better vantage point for the rest of the map. P.S. From the helicopter spawn on the other side of the water, headshot, 513m. Not very impressive, but it was my best, especially cuz of the f*cking pea soup fog that magically gets attracted to soldiers...
I spawned on a squad member who was there. It was solid. Meaning that I can walk. I fire a few shots with my weapon and see enemies scramble. My bullets can't penetrate the ground. If you go far enough to the US spawn point then you fall from an endless height.
I haven't done it (yet), but I know how to get under the map on Operation Metro. It involves using the MAV to boost yourself over the fence to the right of the building that leads to the subway (from the Russian deployment).

I know I am not the only one that has gotten the A-10 glitch, where the stats don't show up. I went through a helluva lot of matches today to get some seat time in the A-10, only to find out that the 25-30 kills I got didn't even count.... And I was like "f*ck yea" because I killed a Colonel 68 who thought he was a badass spawn-killing in a frogfoot... Only to find out that it apparently never happened...

the bug where you bring up the scoreboard in game and press to many buttons at the same time wich causes the game to freeze up is really starting to get on my nerves
