it runs pretty well, actually. i have no complaints there as far as visuals:performance goes. but then again my core problem with the game is it over-compensates for its crappy gameplay with lots of visual glitz and pretty distractions. but at least the pretty distractions run well. as with bad company 2 the core weight-shifting in frostbite 2 seems to be done by a processor, so make sure you have an i5 or something and overclock it and you'll be fine. if you want AA and lots of ambient lighting effects then you'll probably need a high-end gpu, sure (which i don't have - ati 6870).

with an old i7 920 and a 560ti I can easily run it with everything on high or ultra at 1080p in all the maps, rarely if ever do I slow down. at least it runs well, almost makes you forget the abhorrent gameplay and terrible UI.

Is cloud syncing even necessary when there's Battlelog? I'm getting annoyed every time that thing pops up.

i had fun in that map flanking people.
I went around a corner and found 6 guys all looking at one direction.

It was like that img with the tf2 spy and mw2....
It was beautiful.

i haven't played metro but i have played grand bazaar. it's pretty dodgy but that's just because people don't know the map yet so no one bothers to flank. there is actually some space to move.

seine, on the other hand...

not played metro on cq yet.

oh well. bf2 had its share of shockers too.

metro on conquest: 99.9% of the time devolves into a clusterfuck for the middle flag. The subway station.

2 entry points for the commies (escalators & stairs) & 1 entry point for the yanks

It's hilarious.

none of the maps really grab me. they're either average or "wtf were they thinking".

just waiting to play karkand maps before I give up on this game entirely. Call of Duty might be unimaginative derivative bullshit that is just a giant meeting of scrubs, but at least Activision gets game developers who can release a game that actually works.

kharg looks like it has potential.

and ofc there's the bf2 maps which no one's played yet.

Tell that to the PC release of Blops... lol, that was unplayably broken... from what I hear it still is for some...

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

the only problem i had with black ops was the godawful optimization, i cant speak of the others. However, it was just fine on the consoles which is more than you can say for BF3.

granted I had one great experience in good ol skydivey mappy, parachuting down behind the american lines and singlehandedly wreaking shittons of havoc and lots of embarrassing knife kills on idiot campers before finally going down when the whole team swarmed on me. Having said that its a shitty conquest map, every battle just ends up clusterfucking somewhere in the tunnel, basically operation Metro's subway with tanks.

N1 Sturgeon.

Also:
To be honest the thing that bothered me was all the blue triangles cluttering up my screen and that the flag icons were so big.

Best bug in the game so far; Unlimited mortar rounds.

Find a nice cozy spot on an infantry map and shell the fuck out of anything that is spotted.

The only downside is that once you deploy the mortar you're stuck there the whole round.

Edit: found out you can pick up the mortar by hitting "R" whilst i was spamming ingame chats.

yeah. 'delete your windows host file'. 'clear your ea registry'. 'turn off upnp on your router'. 'turn off your router'. 'reinstall bf3'.

all this because they somehow think it's wise to put all of the server joining into a shitty web-browser. great job.
