Other General Battlefield 3 discussion thread

Just got a most awarded on my battle report

I'm playing massively better now than when I started, it's amazing the difference a round a night can make! Used to be a couple of big sessions a week.

Was going to ask about a gun I kept getting killed with earlier but I've forgotten what it's called... Seemed new to me, mighty rate of fire.

 

This dude pissed me off for all that round, that accuracy isn't right, surley a hacker

 

Also this guy has a thing against Bush Wookies.

Speaking of which ^^ We won both rounds of seine and caspian so far on the EU server by 200 tickets of 375 tickets. At one point had a bipod 240B ex mags, 3.4x scope from second bridge to c bridge, just mowing down guys behind that container, was sweet

 

Hi everyone, whats the best/cheapest place to get the add ona for bf3?

I fancy playing some new maps. I currently have the back to karkhand dlc but none of the others

 

Just get Aftermath from Origin and don't worry about the rest!

 

Cheapest I've seen the DLC expansions going at the moment is £9.60 at Green Man Gaming after using the 20% off code.

What does everyone prefer to use when recording video?

 

Dxtory

Like Koi said Dxtory is awesome, its £30 at last purchase but worth every penny. All my videos have been recorded using Dxtory.

There is a setup guide in the Software section posted by Draca. Will link you tomorrow.

It can also output to Xsplit etc

Better than a capture card as they are expensive and drivers have been funky of late.

 

I REALLY need to get back to BF3 again. Playing CoD:Blops2 with my boy and CS:GO when alone is simply not enough! I must have C4 and vehicular destruction!!11

 

Cheers guys, I'll have a look at Dxtory.
I've managed to find Draca's thread in the Software area, will have a read through that.

 

His guide is excellent and is how I have Dxtory setup.

I will say the videos recorded are rather large dependent on the game you are playing.

For example. We played Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory at the weekend, the low res graphics etc yielded only 70gb of video for nearly two hours video. Compared to Battlefield 3 your talking two hundred gigs plus.

I can fill my 1tb in a matter of hours.

 

What res are your recording in? 720p would be enough for me. Also, is there any way to use a second PC as a specific recording rig?

 

I record at 1080p.

Yes there is but it requires using a Capture Card, which retail at £160 or so, and there have been lots of issues of late with drivers.

To the point where a lot of youtubers/streamers have gone back to software based recording.

The capture card does all the recording/preocessing reducing the system usage, but is limited in bit rate and fps.

 

The last recording I did was 1080 at 60p, was 16:46 long and 41.2GB.

wow (If you don't watch it all start at 3:30):

 

+1 on that!

 

...is private.

 

This is looking pretty sick!
Also anyone spot the blimp?
