I probably will. Not on DX10 because XP literally won't run DX10, but still a respectable setting.

Honestly, why would this be surprising? Gaming companies aren't using the full extent of most hardware these days, because they're also developing for consoles. BF3 is no exception.

I'm not even saying this is a bad thing.

A mid level game it is still useful because they have learned to run, but panic in doing so. High level not so much, as most of the players have figured out exactly what's going on and know not to scatter from a dead assault like cockroaches as they'll be gunned down by his teammates.

Eh, only one of the weapon perks is more useful. I find myself using impenetrable and one other perk depending on the weapon Death from Above for power axe, air cooled thrusters for chainsword/power sword, and killing blow for hammer.

I had something crazy happen last night. I decided the only way to get better with the weapons I sucked with, were to use them till I started getting kills back. So Im using the Lascannon and sniping people on objectives. This one assault marine was just standing there waiting for something, and so I was making SURe I got a headshot, and just as I pulled the trigger, one of his team mates came in right behind him, and I shot them BOTH in the head. It only counted as a double kill + headshot, but still I jumped out of my seat! It was friggin awesome.


I still SUCK with the meltagun though. I only occasionally get kills, and so far it seems to mostly be when an assault marine misses and I get a good shot on him right up close and personal



*also, I stopped using FV simply because almost everytime I go down, Im either to far away for it to do anything, or the people dodge asap. So it didnt really give me anything instead of the once in a great while hit

One thing I don't understand is how some people are sooo good with the Bolt Pistol! I don't know how many times I've been killed with it; and I've tried using the flippin thing myself, but with little effectiveness

And the only problem I've really noticed is when someone spawn-camps with the Melta Gun...

Gotta aim for the head with the bolt pistol. Takes a couple headshots with it to drop armor, but once you're unarmored it'll kill you in 1 headshot.

There is absolutely no way you will maintain 60fps @ 1080p even on the lowest IQ setting possible, to think otherwise is naive and delusional.

You keep telling yourself that kiddo.

Melissia wrote:You keep telling yourself that kiddo.

Kiddo? That's cute. You know everyone is laughing at your posts right? Because of your stupidity? Thinking an 8 year old PC will run BF3 at full HD @ 60fps even on low is absolutely hilarious, it shows you know nothing about computers at all.

Personal attacks are against DakkaDakka Rule Number One.

I'd advise not to speak for everyone on the site MrH, some of us get cranky when folks start having a go at people and then claim they speak for everyone.

I didn't mean it literally. My point was anyone who knows anything about computers knows she's completely wrong and the fact she won't admit it amuses me. I doubt her monitor even supports 1080p if it's 8 years old like the rest of her PC.

There's nothing to admit. You're just talkin' without any real knowledge of the subject.

Sorry, but that's you. Stop embarrassing yourself, please. It was funny at first but it's rapidly becoming sad.

How mature.... a "no u" argument...

Say whatever you want kid, but I really think you should do actual research before you argue.

The Stalker pattern bolter originally only showed up carried by Power Armored Death Watch.

So NEVER! in this instance means way more often than scouts.

Sisters have boltguns with scopes and etc on them though

How mature, calling me "kid". It's funny how you try and use that as an insult, when you struggle with basic reading comprehension.

Fact is, you're either trolling me at this point or you just live in your own world because there is no way in hell an 8 year old PC can run BF3 at 60fps solid @ 1080p, especially considering your monitor won't even support the resolution if it's as old as the rest of your hardware.

MrH wrote:8 year old PC can run BF3 at 60fps solid @ 1080p

I'm confused, why are you guys arguing about computer specs and BF3 running on said computers in the Space Marine thread?

e-peen computer is better contest?

Unlikely, considering she has an 8 year old PC and I have a 3 year old PC, neither of us have hardware worth bragging about.

So what's the point?

Both of your PCs can run Space Marine, comparing whose computer better runs BF3 should wait for the BF3 thread, and for it to release most likely.

If you're going to chime in at least read the thread thoroughly please.

We're not debating whose PC will run BF3 better, that's a given. The debate is whether or not her 8 year old PC will run BF3 at 60fps solid @ 1080p, she is claiming it will and thinks I'm clueless when frankly there's absolutely no chance in hell. I have no problem with people being misinformed, I have no problem helping someone, but I have a huge problem with people who make outlandish claims and fight to the bitter end that they're right when they're just not.

And FYI, this all started because she felt the need to call me out and tell me I was wrong when I wasn't, my comment wasn't even directed at her but she felt the need (as always) to poke her nose in and cause drama, because that's what she does best.

I mostly do agree with you MrH...

But it's really easy to poke you and get you up on your high horse... Might wanna work on that.

Also, keep it in a thread that's for that game.

It has nothing to do with me being on my "high horse", it has to do with right and wrong. I simply have a low tolerance for stupidity, and I don't think that's a bad thing. The fact is Melissia is one of the most frustrating people I have ever come across on any forum. I'd say half the threads she posts in end with her arguing with someone about something. And I know for a fact I'm not the only one who thinks that, as people have said as much in PMs.

So then use the Ignore button. There's no rule saying you have to read or respond to her posts and doing so only exacerbates the problem you believe exists. Instead of being part of the problem(it takes 2 to argue), remove the option for the problem.

Also, having to be right means you're on a high horse, regardless of whether you see yourself that way.

I don't have to be right, but in this case I am right. I enjoy a healthy debate when the subject is debatable, but this one isn't.

Last time I'll address this issue: two people from outside the argument have already commented on you appearing to have to be right, you may want to rethink this point.

I think I know myself a little better than you two do. It's not my fault if you see what you want to see. I am completely flabbergasted that you guys are actually arguing with me. If she was a he you'd all be jumping on him for making such a stupid comment.

Now I'm gonna bump on you for that idiotic comment. Gender has NOTHING to do with my arguments, nor will it ever. You are now doing exactly what your acusing us of.

Good job.

Would you like a bigger shovel?

You're so two-faced it sickens me. You don't like her either, but you call me out in public? And gender makes a huge difference, and it always has. Girls always get treated different in games and on forums because everyone wants to be a PC white knight. Just because you claim that isn't the case with you doesn't mean it's not the norm.

You assume I can't defend someone I don't like? Like or not, I'm not gonna have you bending my words for your own purposes.

Who died and made you a MOD? And I have no idea why you'd defend her, she's in the wrong and she started the argument.

Indeed. Let's get back off topic instead of constructing men of straw.

Personally, I'd rather talk about how best to obtain bolter kills before you've gotten kraken rounds, myself... can't seem to do anywhere NEAR as good with tacticals as I do with either devs or assaults.
