I really like the game, except for the fact that I get a framerate drop (from 60 to 30fps, as vsync is mandatory for this game to be playable) whenever I turn around the retarded engine accesses the HDD to load in new textures. Nothing I've tried resolves the problem. That, and it's far, FAR...

Ok, I got the game working properly now. Created a cache folder and linked to it in the cfg, all the framerate issues have disappeared. Played for a couple of hours, and it's actually a really good game. It does have that smooth, slick feel you would expect from an id game. And it's a lot of...

Well, it works now with the patch...so, complete cluster**** as the release was, that's not the end of the world. Now what I want to know is, why is my framerate no better than in Battlefield 3, when it's a distinctly average-looking game? The 50-odd fps wouldn't bother me so much if vsync...

Well, at least I can run the bloody thing now. Before the patch, even with all the tweaks under the sun, most of the time when I load a game it would just freeze completely. If, on the offchance, it did actually load, I either had that horrific screen tearing or microstuttering, or half of...

And it keeps crashing.

I've set up the custom config Dynasty posted and everything... So...vsync off, horrific tearing - the likes of which I've never seen, anywhere, ever. Vsync on, horrific microstuttering which makes the game all but unplayable. *sigh*

Obviously they listened to the torrent of entirely negative feedback, as they had until I read this specifically stated there would be no in-game squad management.

Got a new bug today - no markers indicating who's on my team. Quit the game and relaunched - bug still there. How irritating.

I enjoyed the first third of Quake 4, but then it got really boring when it became one-man-against-the-world. The multiplayer in Quake 4 was excellent, once it had a couple of patches and a competition mod. Better than Quake 3 IMO, very similar but felt less floaty and with some interesting...

<3 id software (although Doom 3 was pretty average). I wonder why they've been moving towards singleplayer-focused games though, id singleplayer never set the world on fire (unless you count Doom and Quake 2 I suppose), but their multiplayer games defined a generation. I would rather have...

To be fair, I'm tearing it up with the PP-2000 and the laser pointer and foregrip. It may just be my personal playstyle though, I tend to get stuck right in there so the accurate shooting from the hip is very useful... The shotguns seem overpowered from a distance. Seems a bit odd that you...

Well, it's good advice. Surround yourself with the type of person you want to be. You're free to take it or leave it as you see fit.

I'm starting to really appreciate this game now. Turned a few minor settings down to medium and the framerate is a hell of a lot better also, without any discernible difference in the image quality. Who knows how well that will hold up on the bigger maps though. You really would have to have...

I find the people you spend your time with change your personality too. When I first moved down here, I worked with a bunch of fatties who ate horrendously bad lunches, went out for massively oversized curries and drank 12 pints every time we went out. And who were quite lazy and negative at...

It's probably just the map, but I'm finding the game annoyingly campy at the moment.

Yeah, it feels very campy compared to BC2. I'm quite good at BC2, but in BF3 I just get killed over and over again by a guy I never see. You can't really hide in BC2 in the same way...the spotting system seems to have something to do with that? Seems a lot weaker in BF3. Or just people barely...

A lot more unforgiving a game than Bad Company 2, you die a hell of a lot quicker. Preferring BC2 at the moment, but that's probably down to the smooth framerate. It's really not running as fast as I would like, and at times the framerate just dips for a while for no discernible reason. Need...

I played Black Ops online with my housemate on his PS3 the other day. Bad Company 2 with a keyboard and mouse felt incredible after that nightmare. First person shooters and consoles really don't mix. At the least, they should do like on the Dreamcast and use a keyboard and mouse for them...

Yeah it's definitely not that, listening is off and it still picks up the speaker whether I mute the microphone or not. It doesn't pick up any other sound either, it's just the sound from that particular speaker which it picks up at a lower volume and at a slight echo. I have no idea what...

Even stranger...testing the individual speakers in my soundcard control panel, all sounds to be normal except for left front, which echoes. Turn the microphone volume down...echo gone. So my mic is a muffled version of the left speaker. What the hell is that all about. :|
