Sounds cool. I'll have to try this one some time.

Wow! What a story! So, turns out he was not a mechanic, but a soldier on the front? My hat's off to this hero. WWII was the last great war, where so many citizens of so many countries felt obligated to the nations of the planet to stand up to facism and genocide and fight the "good fight". Your story touches home for me. My maternal Grandfather was also in the South Pacific - a cook on the Submarine Tender USS Sparry. He told me so many stories as a child, so many tales of being out to sea, I swear I thought he was in the war for 20 years. His "general quarters" battle station was on what I believe may have been a small deck gun with one other person. One of them would turn cranks to aim the barrel, the other would say the command "Pinch" and they'd fire. Of course, I grew up and learned that the war didn't last 20 years, but his stories were just so numerous it seemed that way. I also learned that he had a medical condition at sea and lost all his teeth (very odd, I must say). He was given an HonDisc after 3 years of service, and I am happy he was around for 20 years of my life. I remember going to his house in '99 when I was married just to sit and listen to the same stories I'd heard a million times before (knowing as an adult does the mortality of a loved one). We sat and drank his beer, The Champaigne of Beers - Miller High Life, which he delivered throughout Southern Oregon in the years following the war. By sharing stories with others, our passed loved ones live forever.

I'm a fan of the MW2 single player storyline. I will certainly get this, though no where near release - just when I can afford it. No interest in Multiplayer. But as far as story goes, I was BLOWN away by MW2 and the intensity of war hitting suburban USA! If MW3 is anything like it, I have a feeling it will be the best (modern) singleplayer PC Military FPS to date.

I talked with CCCode about this one day, and I agree with him. Yes vote here, but I like the above ideas about putting it at end of rotation. We can try to promote the maps to the players more, but the fact that you can see on GameTracker the times when a certain SP Map Pack Map loads because the server empties for 2 hours or so, then jumps back up to ~20 players again. It's killing server numbers; gotta do something!

lmao! Penis-o-grams! !rofl

I gotta read this one...

cool! Nice find!

Actually, Terremer, that almost seems to suggest rolling back graphics card drivers as a fix. I'm not a fan of buying a first run of anything, though, as it just raises my blood pressure in mean ways. I'm sure it'll all get sorted before long. I'll get this game when I stop seeing polls like this, cause I'm only intersted in good, stable MP and COOP play; SP is for people without internet connections in the middle of Montana or something....but even they cannot play SP!! Internet connection is required at all times! Slippery slope......

Here's how: For embedding a youtube player, use just the bit of code at the end of the YouTube share link - just the alphanumericals. Test the size as well, I found medium is best, so write it like this: (youtube=medium)WqJ9KDDTihk(/youtube) I already fixed it for you. ( = [ and ) = ] in the example, of course. FOR INSERTING IMAGES INTO A POST: images to use in forums; I use PhotoBucket, but many use image shack. There you can upload your photos and get a link to the image. Then, use the forum tool Insert Image in this form (it will have brackets around it so I will insert ( and ) where start and end brackets go for this example). (img=small)PASTE IMAGE URL HERE(/img) if it's too small, try "=medium" - and you can also center it: (center)(img=small)PASTE IMAGE URL HERE(/img)(/center) REMEMBER - ( = [ and ) = ] in the above examples!! If you use HTML embedding, you should scroll through and find the height/width and set it to: width = 775 height = 453 Good luck and good posts! See you around! !cheers

Wasssup Murder!! Yea, post up here asap about this connection problem - we'll get you sorted out. We're still on the 1.59 Patch version, and nothing has changed with Insurgency, and in Domi, you can get in with vanilla or with CBA v7, JSRS Sound Mod, BlastCore Visuals Mod, and even ACRE (which comes with and needs jayarma2lib mod). Great to have you back!

Cool clips! Check your PM Cpt.Horus, shows how to embed youtube player. !2cool

EDITED the above post; WhiteWolf, for embedding a youtube player, use just the bit of code at the end of the YouTube share link - just the alphanumericals. Test the size as well, I found medium is best, so write it like this: (youtube=medium)WqJ9KDDTihk(/youtube) I already fixed it for you. ( = [ and ) = ] in the example, of course.

I'd like to know if you still get blinding flares at distance from the enemies' rifle mounted flashlights in broad daylight in the multi-player.

The A-10 can be tricky, and you should learn where the stationary SAM site is between the north and south bunkers. Also, those "Missle Spandrels" are your worst enemy. Fly low and fast with a keen eye to the small enemy vehicle with 4 tubes on top. Check out this A-10 landing video I made a ways back. Over a thousand people have used it to learn the basics and the advanced tricks: And welcome to the servers, bro!

Confirmed. I pasted part of one of my posts onto BI Studios and at the bottom were pasted the following: Read more: http://www.veterans-gaming.com/vg-pl...#ixzz1bchB7Z00 Under Creative Commons License: Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives

If you very much desire to play on the Insurgency server, you still can, but you will have to disable your DLC. I have the same issue and am patiently awaiting the 1.60 patch. To temporarily disable your PMC content, just rename the folder "PMC" to something random like "PMCzzzzz" and the game will load without it. Like PITN said, you'll be able to use your DLC on VG Domination, as well as the killer sound mod JSRS and the Blast Core Visuals mod. Makes it into a whole new experience. Good Luck!

Using currently available technology, a PC gaming rig has been assembled to create a working human interface for Battlefield 3 that is nothing short of amazing: The Ultimate Battlefield 3 Simulator You may have already seen the video here, or somewhere. A person steps into the center of a large pad in what looks like a room designed to capture the motions of an actor for a CG scene of a movie. He picks up a "gun" in the center of the room and begins to play Battlefield 3. Quickly we see his motions are transfered into the game as he crouches, walks, shoots, and gets shot - by one of 12 paintball guns covering the area of the pad! What you are seeing is an innovative creation set in motion in July of 2011 by Jason Bradbury and Suzi Perry of The Gadget Show. Produced by North One TV (Midlands), part of the All3Media Group in the United Kingdom, The Gadget Show has been around since 2004 and is currently on it's 16th season. They have made over 200 episodes and, in the UK, broadcast on Channel 5 on Monday nights at 8pm (GMT). The episode that features this astounding mechination is set to air October 24th, 2011 in the UK, called: ?Immersive Gaming Simulator Build? Before you start scrambling for your checkbook or making out that list to Santa, you should know that this build consists of over $650,000 in parts, technologies, and softwares. Makes that new EyeFinity setup sound downright affordable, doesn't it? When the people at The Gadget Show got the idea that the high-end graphics games we play are so greatly limited by the single, static monitor we all look at, they had the idea to change the way they are played. As a PC gamer who uses the NaturalPoint TrackIR 5 and TrackClip Pro for everything from the Falcon 4: Allied Force F-16 simulator to the ArmA 2 military simulator, I am used to the feel of my head motions being translated onscreen. This takes it to a whole new level wherein the "gun" you hold in your hands aims the crosshairs and your body itself turns the character around. They brought together a fantastic team of design and computer experts and challenged them to invent this one of a kind interface and make it into a reality. A true First Person Shooter Simulator is born. The first, most notable gadgets are the gigantic 360 degree screen and the pad you stand on while playing. The screen has a 18 foot circumference and is 12 feet high with 5 projectors casting the images onto the dome screen. Imagine turning around, physically and in-game, at the same time - but the monitor constantly rotates with your body so that your center-line is synced with the huge monitor's center-line, around the 360 degrees. The omni-directional pad was made by MSE Weibull, of Sweden, and is pretty much a series of tredmills that run in all directions from the player. They, along with infra-red tracking cameras, translate real movements into game actions. This is made possible by an "XBOX Kinect camera hack" that makes such actions as crouching and jumping part of the data sent through the PC to the Battlefield 3 game engine. In addition to this, various LED's fill the room with lighting colored appropriate to the in game pixels via an ambient pixel-mapping software. In his hands is a gun with 4 motion tracker balls, and it appears to be mounted with a small LCD display that shows an image similar to that on the screen, but cropped around the crosshairs. He moves the gun so seemlessly with his body and head, it's hard to tell whether the crosshairs actually move with the gun, his head, or his body orientation. I guess we'll have to wait until October 24th to find out more. The 12 painball guns are arranged in groups of three around the player, at 4 points. Depending on where he is hit from in the game, and where he is currently on the pad, dictates which paintball gun fires and when. The player is wearing a full paintball helmet, and the "gun" he carries is completely wireless but doesn't fire paintballs itself. It looks like it has 2 triggers as well, with the second close to the end of the barrel. Clearly this is an interface that could not only transfer over to many FPS style games, but also to military simulators such as Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead, or Combined Operations. I can only dream of playing ACE, the Advanced Combat Environment Mod, using this rig. Muscle memory could be learned in this fashion, as well as a healthy fear of getting shot!!!

I didn't notice anything odd at first.... ...then I got myself a closer look: Is this how they surrender over there?!

Am I reading that right? 1 million copies of BF3 on pre-order for XBOX and only 146,000 pre-ordered for PC?! Dang...Looks like eveyone with a PC is only interested in Star Wars...

Those little ones are almost scarier. I think if they added creepy rubber monster faces, strapped a pound or two of C4 to 'em and released them by the 1000's into enemy territory... !rofl Half the bad guys would die of fear induced heart attacks, and the rest would learn how the big-boys take out their enemies with proper "suicide-bomber" tactics!
