    I know him a bit through a common friend and he's currently their tools/engine-tester but he said that he's making good progress and they like the work he's doing. DICE survival horror coming up?

    Yeah, I know about the flare timings and usually keep to the edges of the map; the hardest part for me is to shake enemy fighters... competent enemy fighters that is. Good tips though, I'll try to improve.

    I played quite a lot this evening (as Puddzy, mind you) and despite some lag on one server (just started all of a sudden), I very much enjoy the game You can't beat nice squadplay in BF3 imho.

    I've racked up about 20 hours already and I am DEADLY in a chopper and the jets

    What are your tips for jets? Haven't spent that much time in them and I was never a jet-flyer in BF2.

    Really hard in the beginning when you're facing jet aces that got everything unlocked

    http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/servers/sh…le-Spawn/Server up, based in Sweden, but should be good for all Euros. Before you join a server, check that and see if there's people and help us fill it and keep it filled.

    Once reserved slots are possible we can arrange getting those implemented.

    To more easily fill up servers, could you possibly throw the idea around at work that you don't need 8 players to begin? It's probably to prevent statspadding and in that case they can throw in a "Need x more players to be ranked".

    Allows you to for example have 2on2 dogfights or just goof around while you wait

    The coders will probably love you for making a suggestion about it.

    I haven't had any problems with it so far, but I know it was pretty off sometimes in the beta. I generally don't try to knife a lot though... it's usually a risk and in the time you close in, the enemy could've shot a teammate/similar. Got to be pragmatic

    Hmm yeah, I should've probably included more of what I wrote before my computer froze Dux, see below:

    Squad size: With 8man squads, you'd only get 2 squads per team in 32 player games, which is far too little. In conquest, you usually concentrate your fighting on 2-4 areas/flanks, which would mean that the squads would have to split up anyway. With a 4 man squad, you can have all classes represented and you are a large enough force to be able to do damage. If class balancing is good within the squad, you can tackle or at least stand your own against any threat.

    Spawning on SL only: Pretty tedious and breaks the flow of the game. Let's say the squadleader dies, who does he spawn on? He has to run, possibly a long way, to the front. If another squadmember dies during this time, they'll have to spawn and run as well. What if the squadleader is unavailable (stuck in small area, vehicle that is fully manned, parachuting too I believe)? Pretty annoying to have to ask the squad leader to move/exit the vehicle/etc everytime you want to get back to the front. Also, let's not forget public players who're probably not on VOIP. Making the SL the only spawnable squadmember would imho just slow the game down unnecesarily.

    Rush maps: Generally, rush maps play nothing like CoD. Maps aren't square boxes with shitty spawns. There's always a nice tug of war and an excellent forward momentum for the attackers and usually a desperate struggle for the defenders. Sometimes it's nice to have just one "front" that is being fought over as opposed to conquest. There's generally enough flanks to keep things interesting and prevent a meat grinder (with a few exceptions). As always, I guess it's each to his own Seen a lot of conquest-only servers so far, so rush can definitely be avoided if wanted.

    Fuck, got a computer freeze as I was righting a long post. (I think the new ATI drivers are causing some problems for my system).

    Summary of that post:

    Dux, 4 man squads are good, 8 man squads would be too large (too big a chunk of your team).

    Spawning only on SL would be zzZzZzZzZzz. Much better flow with all-spawn (granted that your squad only has 4 people, with any more it would be OP).

    Rush is fun on good maps (but linear and narrow maps are so-so in that mode ofc).

    Try to enjoy the game dammit, it's awesome.

    Please excuse the minimalstic nature of this post

    i've just spent 3 hours playing with 3 friends in a squad, raping everything.

    I just went ahead and did the same and...

    this game is simply fantastic. There's some MINOR issues but I won't even bother. Once your ingame with friends and the bullets start flying you honestly don't give a shit about complaining Few games have gotten me this excited in recent years.... GG dice <3

    Also, I got a free game on Origin-coupon because I e-mailed EA support and pointed out that banners on the Swedish origin site were giving false info (claiming you got early beta access, even though the offer had expired at the time). So some of my skepticism towards Origin has been bought away.

    Went to bed yesterday and got a good night's sleep instead of watching the loading circle of death.

    Just got up and played a game on caspian... runs 25x smoother then beta Can't wait to get home after work!
