official Battlefield 3

[gkl]

Got a problem after the update. The XBOX360's gamepad that's connected to my PC, doesn't stop vibrating when I'm being hit, fix something with the engineer or just shoot... while playing with mouse and keyboard (I only switch to the gamepad when piloting the helicopter). I searched all over the settings and couldn't find the option to disable the vibration of the gamepad when it's not being used. Anyone know about some ini I can edit, or how to solve the problem otherwise?

It's really bothering. Not me (I'm playing with surround headphones on on pretty high volume, and didn't notice the gamepad was dancing on the sub woofer of my speakers (that's where I store it) until my girlfriend got in to the room and started to wave her arms at me), but still bothering and I would like to find a fix.

Try this:

Navigate to;

C:\Users\[your account]\Documents\Battlefield 3\settings

open the file PROF_SAVE_profile in wordpad, change the setting GstInput.Vibration to (it was the last entry for me)

Save the file and play!

Found on EA UK forums.

Hi welcome to battlefield games... :|

You running in the opposite direction of everyone else? I can join Caspian border with only 10 other people playing, and go towards the objectives and kill tons of people within 2 min of the game.

Also 20 kills is alot, this isnt ModernNoobFare, There is much more to the game than just running around shooting people without any skill (as you would do in COD games). You do have to seek people out, and you do have to try not to be killed, and the point is to get the objectives, not rack up kill points. It is harder to kill, and harder to be killed if you play smart.

If what you say is true, then you're doing something horribly horribly wrong. And are too used to noob run around without skill shooting at random stuff games.

I haven't had a boring round on this game in 80hours of playin :p

really, at least in CoD you can't snipe with a shotgun....

Is that weird? Because mine is at 511 :huh:

The skill stat is completely useless. Ignore it.

^ My graph. As you can see. It's not very reliable. You would expect to see some trend, but nothing. It changes EVERY round I play.

Challenge accepted.

lol love the enthusiasm!

Yeah it was my SLi being disabled that was making the game freak out, I think. I did get a BSOD just trying to launch the game once I enabled SLi. I then launched RAGE in Steam and it ran no issues (after I restarted my comp of course). I then went into BF3 and it ran perfect for 5 rounds. So not sure what is up, but I do know I was one of the lucky people who had no issues prior to the patch, so it looks like I now have issues. Gotta love patches on the PC.

So what exactly do they measure the Skill assessment on under player stats? Somehow I am currently at a skill level of 497! :s :laugh:

I have gone up and done with my K/D Ratio all day. Was at 2.0 in the morning, went down to 1.8, and almost got it back to 2.0 just now. Definitely my best KD ratio in a game in quite some time.

EDIT - I looked into Skill Level.

So basically I wound up killing some people with a high skill level. Seems rather open ended as to how they actually calculate it.

It doesn't mean anything at all from what i've gathered, sadly. It can rise or fall several hundred points in a single game. One game I was 500, next I was 150. Game after that I was back up to 300.

It's supposed to reflect the difficulty of the opponents you're facing to determine matchmaking, but even then, it's still completely random.

haha just got banned from a server, stay away from this server if you are good, they will ban you because they don't like to get owned.

Game is doing my head in. I've just joined 5 servers in a row on Xbox (quitting out after each round because I love Kharg Island) and every ****ing one put me on the losing team with something like 10 tickets left.

[trag3dy]

Getting disconnected from every game is starting to get old, especially when it's a 30000 point game.

[ARchamps]

The patch actually works well for me! My green flashes went away and the game was smoother. Still missing key things like chatting/changing options between maps. Hopefully soon...

"at least in COD you don't have to think to play"

you probably suck at CoD. that's fair. some people just do. battlefield is definitely easier. :whistle:

[BeerFan]

ROFL, so far from truth. COD is like BF3 in Arcade Mode...All you gotta do in COD is press the buttons as fast as you can at the right times; no planning or strategy involved. The game pretty much plays itself.

Go back to your beloved COD. BF3 on PC will be waiting when you decide you want a challenge. (Y)

[rajputwarrior]

Why do you even bother reading and trolling in this BF3 forum if you don't play the game? Do you see me trolling the MW3 forum?

Go away and play your game if its so great.

im say just saying, i'm better at BF3 then CoD. and i have the game (well my roomate does)... so thanks, also you may want to look up the definition, cause having a different opinion isn't it (Y)

there's nothing challenging about BF3 bro... at least not on xbox. too me BF3 is easier cause it's slower. that's like saying football has more strategy then hockey cause football is slower.

BF3 is better than BFBC2 though.

i like bc2 more... SP and MP. SP was terrible in both but at least their were some funny moments in BC2.

Yes this is true. BF3 is to me a rip off of Black OPs with better graphics.

Not only BlackOps.

But at the end of the day, it was pretty good, at least to me

[Dennis]

I'm liking the multiplayer better than COD and BC2, just find the air vehicles a joke so far imo since I always get shot down in no time.

[sbauer]

Your BFBC2 stats suggest otherwise. I don't know why have to come in here saying the same crap over and over again. You don't even own the game. You say that your roommate owns it, but even that's questionable. You don't like it, we get it. Stick with CoD.

My Black Ops K/d is over 2.2. My BF stats are nowhere near as good. Results vary so your stats don't mean a whole lot.

[rajputwarrior]

Saying random stupid stuff is the same as "having a different opinion"?

what is your BF3 soldier name?

what that at least you can't snipe with a shotgun? after you said all you have to do is is run around and shoot in COD? my buddies xbox live account is machismo something if you care that much...i bad mouth COD all the time if that makes you feel better? like the maps in mw3 suck...

yeah my COD stats are nothing to brag about either...

His BFBC2 stats are great! Just cause he has my dog tags.

i like bf3, i never said that i didn't. me talking ish about it's flaws doesn't mean i don't. as soon as its around 40 bucks and on steam i'm all over it. the only reason i didn't buy the game was because it's not on steam. no game is perfect. mw3 has **** maps, meh graphics at best but i love the new game modes. that's why i'm getting hours out of it. i haven't even finished the SP yet... its the same thing over again. it's definitely more of an expansion pack then full game to mw2. maybe i wil eventually but i'm in no rush. bf3 SP i got halfway through and got tired of the dumb ass AI and stopped playing.

If you would present yourself better, and didn't sound like a dick all the time, people wouldn't respond to everything you say with hate.

[joker999]

Listen after a few days of playing I have come to the conclusion this game is epic boring.. I join maps with the max 64 players and I still run around for sometimes the whole match without killing a single player then when a 40min game is over you see the top killer only had like 20 kills.. I find myself running around 98% of the time.. so boring..

you said twice :s

[TheLegendOfMart]

BTW does anyone get a much better FPS since the patch on the pc version?

Yeah, with the 11.11a AMD Drivers the crashing and stuttering has stopped and i can run everything in high and textures on ultra now where i couldnt before.
