Depends on when it is. I'm interested for sure.

Fun games last night, except for this idiot who complained about the Tac Light while using the IR scope.

Definitely have seen an increase in people using it. I only use it in dark levels, but holy shit I've seen it everywhere now.

[Cail]

fucking hate people...they wont repair my aaa tank, but when i get out to repair ull be damn sure they steal it

[Misterjingles]

Ditto on what kuro said. Depending on when it is, I'm interested in the 8v8 as well

The season starts December 1st. We can set up 8 of us to get in on this. I believe the tournament starts February 4th. If we get in the top 32 ladder we're competing for $2000 (not sure if each or total).

edited for clarification... we can register now as a group and start the season. If we're in top 32, etc, etc. I can't register atm but if someone gets it set up sign me up for it.

[Cail]

[Cail]

[Jonny]

anyone that is half fucking decent at this game on pc add me JonnyF88 also any info on a BG server? i would be willing to chip in.

[Dmitry]

Tac lights and IRNV scopes are banned from that Alienware tournament thankfully.

If someone's registering a team, I'd be down. I actually not bad when I play medic, I play recon when I'm dicking around so not as good.

[Vandole]

i'm down for tournyfaggotry.

[Arrmani]

If I counted right, that makes 5 of us? I didn't look at how to register, just glanced at an email about it. I've never done a tournament before other than one Starcraft tournament, so if someone else wants to take lead on this I'll look at the details.

FUCKING IRNV PKPs

Sony's Asian division has put a page on their website that contains information about Battlefield 3's first downloadable content Back to Karkand. The site lists Back to Karkand's release date on the PS3 as December 7th 2011. We know that PS3 will be getting Back to Karkand a week before both PC and Xbox 360, therefore one can conclude that the PC and Xbox 360 release date will be the 14th of December. Hopefully this information is true, because that would mean it's almost fragging time!

FUCKING IRNV PKPs

Lol. Speaking of IRNV:



I still use the scope on Caspian but I still prefer the holo / RDS for CQC and the ACOG for bigger maps, but yeah, I can definitely see why ESL banned this + taclights now.

[Arkanna]

I think there should be a brief window of time when you first scope in with the IRNV where your "eyes need to adjust" or something and the image fades into view. In that brief window, everything you see through the scope would be covered by fading opaque green. IRNV should remain in the game, just needs balanced better.

But fuck tac light. No flashlight in the world should be able to blind you so badly in pure sunlight without also scorching the flesh off your bones Terminator 2 style.

[Arrmani]

During the beta I thought the Tac Flashlight was the coolest thing ever. After playing though, I agree with Arkanna that it needs fixed when there is sunlight to be less affecting. I'm not a programmer, so I'm sure this is difficult, but maybe have a certain effectiveness range based on amount of light surrounding it.

Also, if the NV in IRNV is Night Vision, every movie and TV show I've seen has told me that looking at light with NV on is blinding. I'm all for IRNV being good in Métro tunnel or Tehran Highway at night, but all the island/outdoors maps with bright sunlight shouldn't be able to use the IRNV.

[Cydewinder]

IRNV got nerfed with the PS3 patch tonight, but I don't think they meant to nerf it this bad.

[Insanecyclone]

[supercoco]

irnv is ultra nerfed - and i dont notice too much the flashlight nerf

[Ezek]

I think I'm done until the Karkand patch. Crashed a total of 4 times over a 2 hour gaming session, one of which was when the game had around 5 tickets left. It's absolutely infuriating that game stability hasn't been tuned up more after a month+ of release.
