So is the AN-94 worth it at all after the B2K improvements? I see they fixed the crazy second bullet recoil issue with two-shot semi mode, but does it still come up short compared to the AEK (or FAMAs for that matter)?

Is it any different on PC? I don't use a headset on console because I tend to swear alot (due to stuff like this xD) so can't ask my team to actually stop sucking =|

It's my goto gun for assault, I never used it pre-patch so I couldn't tell you how good the improvement was, but right now it's great for medium / long range. It plays like a bit like the SKS with a faster fire rate and you can counter-snipe really effectively with it, you can almost always kill snipers camping on rock mounds with it before they inch away behind it.

I use f710 for everything and I hold my own even in tdm ect where vehicles are absent just depends what your comfortable with, but then again I use a 47" hdtv as a monitor

fuck console gaming!

I only use a stick for jets. Mouse for everything else.

Lol I'm opposite, I feel uncomfortable using a stick with the jet but it feels natural for the heli XD

Same. I can't fly a helicopter with stick but I bring in service pin after service pin with stick.

Stick feels perfect for me for helis, but I can't do shit in jets with it. It just feels too imprecise.... need to mix it with k/b I guess.

It's sort of unfortunate that consoles can't handle larger capacity servers like the PC can. Almost all of the new maps on their large or small form seem too big for the amount of people allowed on the console servers. For example, I played a match of conquest on wake island, with 12 people on both teams for the entirety of the match, and from start to finish I encountered ~3-4 enemies (the reason I know the lobby was full the whole time was because I kept checking the scoreboard to make sure the enemy team didn't all vanish from the server after running around for 2-3 minutes straight without finding an enemy). Conquest is the only game mode I play often, and I'm a team player that helps defend and cap bases, so I wasn't even running around the outskirts on recon looking for people to snipe. I was in the high-action areas, but people were just so spread out, I just couldn't find many people to shoot.

I may just cave in and buy this game on the PC sometime after I build my new desktop after the holidays to experience 64-player battles.

I really hope they revert the changes to mine spotting or at least make it harder to detect them on your minimap, because mines feel almost useless now.

Joystick+keyboard is the most effective way to fly jets

They were, but the fix isn't to make them useless >.>

So I'm looking for a group of people to play with that don't give a shit about KDR and actually competitively play objective based games. I prefer hardcore mode so if anyone wants to group up, toss me a friend request on Origin.

Most of us don't give a shit about KDR, dude.

Is spotting borked for anyone else? I spent all night trying to spot for my team and every time I pressed Q nothing happened. I could spot tanks... just not infantry.

**Elesirdur** · 2011-12-24 02:56

Is anyone else using the 290.53 beta nvidia drivers and experiencing artefacting or graphical errors on B2K maps? I've tried running my card on OC and stock settings, as well as playing around with the in-game video settings (more/less detail, AA modes, etc) but they still keep coming up. Vanilla BF3 maps play just fine.
