CatsAkimbo

I played heavily for a week, then being out of town over christmas/new years got me out of it. I've played a couple times since then and paid for another month, but I'm finding it hard to get the motivation to jump back in.

The first thing I did when I got into the first town was attack everyone. A big guard hit me and staggered me backwards through a table. I was unable to escape from behind this table of doom because I couldn't jump -- my only option was to quit the demo and restart. If this was in the main game, this save would be ruined just a few minutes after leaving the starting dungeon... good times?

Aren't the FMG9's crazy good? I've been using a similar class to you, but with scavenger--I just immediately switch to FMG9's when I spawn and mow people down because those things shoot so ridiculously fast.

What's crazy to me is how the killstreaks reset after you get the last one. I always felt punished for equipping uav/counter uav/care package in previous games because if i got a big streak going, anything after 5 kills was a waste. Now it resets after you earn the last killstreak, so if you get a 10 streak with hardline on, you could call in 5 uavs in one life if that's all you have equipped! craziness.

I'm also bummed that the "secret" 25 point killstreak made it into the game. One of the most annoying parts of MW2 was when 2 guys would get on different teams and one would farm kills to get the nuke. I can imagine this will start happening again. That said, I've only seen it happen once, it doesn't end the game, and I was wearing juggernaut armor when it went off and didn't die, so it's not the ultimate weapon that the nuke was.

You should be able to click to "Active Soldier <yourname>" button in the upper right of the battlelog to switch between which account you're looking at. You can also click "<yourname>'s Profile>" in the upper left on the Soldier stat's page to get an overview of both your accounts like mine here.

I'm Pretty tired of California settings. I realize that most of the game developers are located there so there seems to be some extra love for the place, but there's a whole world out there. I've only been to LA once, but I feel like I know it intimately from all the games set there.

If other people are getting kicked from every server they join, then this worked for me:

1. Download the full bf3 punkbuster install here: http://www.users.on.net/~kegsta/pb.rar
2. Extract to your ...\Battlefield 3\ install directory (all the files should be in ...\Battlefield 3\pb\)
3. Profit!

The theory is that punkbuster didn't install because it thought you already had it (from bf2 or bc2 or whatever).

At least i'll save a lot of bandwidth by watching this on the lowest quality and not missing anything from a low resolution!

Updating this post as I get more screenshots

Just before I beat the womb. I noticed some items get overridden; you can't see that I also have the Indian headdress, 3rd eye, rock, underwear and shoes on
