It sucked because I was all ready to play a quick game while waiting for the KU basketball to come on and then BBAAMM I had to wait for a patch download.....It started fast and then just got slower and slower. I ended up not playing.

I ended up AA raping.

It seems like they weakened the carbines.

Hopefully they did better than the past. In the past they would take one step forward and two steps back IMO.

I should have thought about this before I started looking at Crossfire setups. While my board does support CrossFire, it seems like it'd be a waste to try it since the second PCI-E slot is only 4x. Back in January when I put this system together I never really planned on serious Eyefinity gaming where I'd need 2 GPUs...

So, if I want to keep the board and upgrade to a better card it'd have to be the 6990. Otherwise it doesn't really make much sense to step from a single 5870 to a single 6970 on an eyefinity setup IMO.

Best option I guess would be to tough it out with 5760x1080 at medium settings (or drop down to 1920x1080 on High/Ultra) and wait for some new tech to roll out and/or pricing to come down and do a fresh build.

*sigh*

Well it appears the bandwidth hit isn't as bad as I thought it was after further research. Still something to think about...

*Edit* Scratch that. It appears my Mobo is not really going to cut it with Crossfire, so no point in going to two cards right now.

I'm a goober. Just bought an MSI P55-GD80 which will better support Crossfire. Just have to transfer everything over from my existing board and keep it as a spare or put it up on Ebay.

So I've been playing now since launch and I'm not too sure what to think.

It's fun, but it is missing something from BC2 -- and it seems to lack a certain polish. I find myself getting frustrated at certain bugs/glitches still in the game.

It also seems to reward camping way more than BC2 did.

Still fun, but I'm waiting to hop to CS:GO.

Thanks. It should, fingers crossed. The SATA ports are in a better location than my current Gigabyte board, too. If I were to go Crossfire on this board I'd lose about 4 Sata slots.

I am pretty much set on the MSI 2GB R6950 Twin Frozr III for my Crossfire cards. Cooling on it looks great, stock clocks are a good bit faster than a base 6950, and I can turn it up even more if needed and still maintain some good cooling.

So hopefully my BF3 and gaming experience overall will improve!

I don't know if it rewards camping as much as it does playing proper offense/defense. If you play with the mentality of going out and killing as many people you can you don't really get very far (as far as winning matches goes). BC2 seemed to play "faster" to me.

I primarily play rush, so I can't really speak to conquest, but...

On defense, I have the most success finding a spot and sitting in it the whole round unless I'm in a vehicle. I find that pushing out at all is basically asking for a loss. In BC2, you could be way more aggressive on defense and still hold the sites, but that doesn't seem to be the case in BF3.

On attackers, I find that rushing is often a frustrating game of spawning. Take Damavand Peak, for example. 99% of the time I get the Humvee, I'll always nab the first set of bases, but if I don't get to it, I end up having to sneak through rocks past a thousand recon.

Part of the problem is that destruction is weak.

And yeah, BC2 did feel faster. BF3 is more methodical, for better or worse.

I also hate the stinger. It isn't overpowered, it's just stupid. There's no skill curve to it, so someone who picks up the game two years from now will be as good as someone playing since launch. I miss the AT4. Badly -- both as someone who was good with it, and as someone who likes to fly.

I don't know. Something about the game in general doesn't feel right to me. BC2 felt like a much more fluid game.
