No, I am not an ass and please do not call me one again. I do not know what he means or I would not have asked the question.

... I didn't mean offence, I just figured that given the badge in your sig that you'd have known. Recoil in games, as in the momentary loss of accuracy in the game when firing the weapon due to perceived movement of the weapon in the holders hands. i.e. The reason it's better to burst fire than spray.

Oh so that is why I miss the target sometimes when I know I had the sights dead on it. I didn't even think of that. I only play BF3 in SP and have only been playing it a short time. Now I understand. Thanks!

Yep. even though the gun is fully automatic, it still has recoil or kickback. Firing in full auto is never good as the spread of the bullets increases. Single shot or burst fire will put the bullets were you want them to go better than spraying and praying.

Also, another thing to be aware of, is that each gun has it's own "feel". THe amount of kickback and the rate of fire all differ from weapon to weapon.

yeah if you want a good example of recoil get one of the LMG's for support, the PKP is very bad for recoil....then just hold down the trigger until the clip is empty...you'll probably now be looking at the ceiling rather than straight ahead.

If you're planning to shoot down the moon the PKP is probably the gun for you! :p

I see a lot of people using it with the Suppressor and Bipod or Foregrip, and it is amazing that way, but without that I'm not entirely sure how to use the gun. I picked up a G36c last night and it is incredible for the Engineer class. It actually felt more powerful than my F2000, though that might be because I had it suppressed. Somehow I managed to get three Service Stars with the F2000 yesterday, which I probably shouldn't be proud of but that gun is amazing. I love it.

Suppressor with F2000, best Assault weapon

Suppressor with G36C, best Engineer weapon

Gotta move onto PC soon. Am up to level 15 on the PS3 but still at my wits end with the control pad! It's just so unnatural and weird feeling and I simply can't react enough to most situations.

As soon as christmas is out of the way, PC upgrade and BF3 on that.. and I can just put this whole PlayStation / FPS nonsense behind me!

It's going to blow you away what a completely different game it is on PC.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      A McDonald's restaurant uses about 1.5 to 2 million gallons of water per year for operations like food preparation, cleaning, and restrooms. That is a lot less than the 2,083 gallons of water per megawatt hour mentioned above.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      Underpowered and overpriced, both separately and together. This is to be taken as a "1st gen" (Linux+Proton based), and to wait for the 2nd gen that hopefully is a bit better value/balanced. Or wait for a sale.
