Maritan Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 So we decided to make an experiment: switched autobalance off and... I'd say it was a success. It was just 8 of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Ha! We've been using the insane balancer plugin for procon. It's not perfect but seems a lot better than the stock balancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock balancer doesn't work properly. Or sometimes doesn't work at all. I want something that makes VIPs immune to balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 So Kovach and I finished all the coop missions. And unfortunately, it looks like you totally have to replay a few to get the G3 unlocked. With all but 3 of the missions done on Easy, Normal, and Hard (have to finish hard difficulty for 3 missions) and I've got about 238,000 points, about halfway to the G3. Â Which is unfortunate, but with the exception of a few missions it seems fairly replayable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 You sure the millions of people who just spent $60 a pop on BF3 are going to instantly drop it in order to play BF:1943? Â After the amount of fuss a number of them were making, they had damned well better. :-P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 It was a tongue in cheek comment. Â Nevertheless I still expect only a minority of that vocal minority to actually even download the game, even then, I bet that the majority of that minority of the vocal minority will do so out of principle rather than a desire to play 1943.

Stock balancer doesn't work properly. Or sometimes doesn't work at all. I want something that makes VIPs immune to balance. Â That'd be insane balancer for Procon. You can have a whitelist for it on top of setting different terms for the balancing like keep squads together, keep clans together, sort based on SPM, sort based on KDR, sort based on score, etc. We currently have it set to balance by SPM, squads and clans not staying together. We had it that it kept squads and clans together initially but the teams kept getting stacked more often than not and the server would start to empty so we just disabled those and now it does a good shuffle and the server's health has benefited from it.

Mal Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 So I've been playing the SP. I know I'm late but... time for a impressions. Â Taking it for what it is, its not bad but not great either. Main thing right now is the seemlingly endless enemies which to me is just plain bad design. Playing on Hard, these enemies are not hard as balls as other games but they just keep coming at times if you don't move to X location. Another thing is some of what you see are not what models you get. The space you thought you could shoot through? NOPE! Hell, I found a few spots where you couldn't even shot away from its outer surface until you're up a few inches in game. Funny part is... the enemy can get a clear shot on you. Â Non in-game wise, yeah, the whole Origin/browser shit. Origin is alright but the internet browser usage still irks me. Sure Firefox isn't as bad as it was but still, it takes a much larger chunk of power than 95% of my other stuff so it would of been nice to had it off. Maybe it would of made the difference in the performance in game. I stop playing for the night after the stuttering got pretty damn bad. Â As a side note... it feel so much better playing with m/kb. Over break, I was playing the PS3 version. While I regained most of my controller hands, the analog sticks in a FPS now really feels odd. Can't get my aim correct at time. M/KB? Everything is dead.

I can't stand Origin, but I can deal with Battlelog. I think it's just the combination of the two. Yeah, Battlelog is a pain, but at least it does something. Origin just kind of sits there and doesn't let you close it. Â Also, join the PXoD platoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Done and done! Â Also... knife hack which enables you to knife a person all the way in spawn to kill another person at their spawn? Actually this is the only time I will praise the extreme bans that EA does with Origin. Fuck those hackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritan Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I realize that my English is very far from perfect, but when I contacted EA tech support about B2K activation... "The horror... the horror..." Anyway, my copy is still not active and there's a big banner that says "Buy Now" in Battlelog, listing all my friends who bought B2K. And that lady from support said that I should wait. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll head down to Excel's tomorrow and steal his PC for a bit to check out the new maps. I'm sure he won't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
