    Not bad for a 7 year old

    Re: Not bad for a 5 year old The same as what I was thinking. Title changed. :) Looking great for its age! D.

    [PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

    Looking good! I was really quite paranoid that DICE might wuss-out and bow to the yawndom of COD-like requirements. Thankfully it still looks much more BF-like than COD. Nice map size too. COD players will suffer from panic attacks on maps that large. Anything larger than a 10ft x 10ft back...

    unphotogenic 200!

    I think on the black cars, it's not so obvious. Most of the components on the front end blend well together, imo. D.

    IE9 - CSS

    IE9 is genuinely awful. I reformatted my PC two weeks ago and sure enough it appeared there in Windows Updates straight away. Erm, no thanks! D.

    What I never understand with sellers like that is that they've owned the car for 10 years - go to all that expense (inc. an engine overhaul a mere 700 miles ago)...... then decide to flog it? :S To me that smacks of something is majorly wrong or too expensive to rectify. You simply don't fall...

    Bye bye 200 - my ownership report

    That's the linch-pin for me. If I could be looking at much more torquey and potentially powerful cars for similar MPGs, then the 200 isn't going to be favourable for me as a next car. I think the recent Top Gear episode highlighted the 200's second-place standing in comparison of engines to...

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    If you pick the engineer again - they make excellent secondary gunners on tanks. Hopefully you'll team up with a driver with a brain and learn where he positions the tank and how to use it. Keep a good eye out on the ground as the top gunner for enemy mines, etc. Also, keep a lookout in the...

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    Yep - they will be. And likewise to what I said before, dropping an ammo bag which is collected by a squad member will gain you more points than if accessed simply by a team member. The same applies if a medikit is dropped. Try to use the vehicle you're repairing as your own shield. It's not...

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    Yep - it's quite potent that. Iirc, it's only got a 20-round clip, which is it's only weakness. You may/may not know of the squad bonus points in the game? Always join a squad as the game loads - regardless. The other (maximum of 3) players seen in green are your squad mates. Anything you do to...

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    Bodge, if you can - try to persevere with the engineer class - it really is a great all-rounder class to play. And once you get used to the gravity pull of the RPG rounds and calculate the firing arc accordingly - you can damage and sometimes even destroy enemy vehicles at long range. At the end...

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    Lol - nice one. :) I think what makes those types of shots much more rewarding when you pull it off, is the length of time the round takes to reach the target - including the bullet-drop. COD players would have killed three players and died four times in that same amount of time. ;) D.

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    My longest one was on Port Valdez...... Longest ranged kill for the round.... I posted that in the BC2 thread - never managed anything like that since. It was from the roof of that concrete structure which is the Yanks first spawn point on Port Valdez :Rush. I was on top of that with...

    Managed it ONCE on an enemy Blackhawk. Took two shots and the helo was hovering dead steady - which helped me out no end. :approve: D.

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    Good advice. I've had each and every BF title that's been released. On two occassions, I tried multiplayer (BF2142 and BC2) and didn't 'get it' initially. I went back a few weeks later and it just gelled straight away. It's much more of a learning curve imo than COD, but in due course BF is much...

    And this week's award for the most incorrect answers, goes too...... ;) You actually think COD takes more skill to play than BC2? Rolfcopter. Fire up a hardcore game on PC and I'll join you. See how far your perk list mania gets you then..... D.

    My 182 was recalled at had that sorted out. However, if failure still occurred and the insurance company said the above to me, I would physically drive down to their HQ and deposit a Lincoln log on their reception desk. In order of cretin status, I would rather admit that my job was to...

    Not as expensive as I thought, tbh. Does that just cool the GPU itself though - not the memory on the card? Feel free to PM me when you're thinking of retiring one of those 580GTX's! D.

    PC Help:8gb ram showing 3.50 useable...

    A weird BIOS setting that? I did think that the BIOS could have been mirroring the memory (effectively giving you 4GB maximum with 8GB installed) - but that's much more of a server feature than a home PC one. Why would the mobo manufacturer provide a method for halfing the memory? :S D.
