Wait till you get the canister shells. When they come low enuff they get totally peppered with shots. If your lucky it,ll kill the pilot, if not its still quite a nasty little bit of damage.

I have them, never really used it though, prefer guided missiles. Might give it a go tonight.

DICE has confirmed that Battlefield 3 DLC is in the internal testing phase at the developer's studios. The developer has not divulged any information about what to expect about the upcoming DLC, but with such a long wait for the content, it's sure to be an exciting expansion for the Battlefield community.

This is some great news. Can't wait to see what to expect in this DLC! :D

What does everybody think of the changes to Jav's + soflam?

From what I've gathered soflam'd rockets can now be flared also.

Seems like a bad decision to me.

What a load of bull****! The main reason me and my friend unlocked the SOFLAM + Javalin is to deal with the better pilots in the game as the SAM rockets get flared all the time. :angry:

Except they're increasing the IGLA and Stinger power/lock time to compensate.

I can't believe it has never occurred to me to do that. I've seen my medic team mates fall and wanted to revive them and never thought to retrieve their kit and revive them!

It's harder to do in Team Deathmatch since the revive window is much smaller, but it can be done with some success if you are fast. I normally play with another friend who understands the game, and since one of us is normally playing as an Assault we can still continue to cooperate if the other person is close by. If you switch kits to revive someone they get your kit though, so you might have to pass over a weapon you're a big fan of to help the team.

I finally finished the G53 assignment yesterday. I can't believe it took me so long! I finally decided to go for it and get a Repair Torch kill. By fluke it was a headshot too, and was the greatest thing ever to see scroll past on the Killfeed. It's a great little gun. Definitely becoming one of my favorite carbine rifles in the game now I have the Foregrip and Holographic Sight. It took me a few more kills, but I also have my ninth G3A3 Service Star. The G3 is actually fantastic when suppressed. Shame it took me almost 900 kills to realise that, eh? :p

Its not always a great idea to do it. As Paul stated:

  1. You have to be quick
  2. You should be confident there aren't too many enemies around

I think it might be possible to pick up the kit while you are looking less downward, but I haven't really tried it. That clip was actually from a TDM game. Sometimes it is better just to stay alive to be a spawn becon, but in TDM position isn't as important as other modes.

Hmm time for the shops to get provisions and then some marathon BF3 sessioning me thinks. Tis the only way to spend a 5 day holiday from work I feel.

Certainly beats this time last year when I was sat farming in Wow for a week trying to dig up epics, (never ever ever ever ever ever again!).

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
