That isn't half bad. You'll get better visuals and a mouse is always best for FPS. Why did you go for the console version int the first place?

So after a long leave of absence I am trying to get back into this game. Got the DLC only to find very little to no servers in SA using it except for those private few servers :(. Also I am having to learn a new k/b which is really annoying the hell out of me. the new k/b has a small shift key on the left and I am used to the bigger shift button so I keep hitting the "\" button every time I want to run :/. Still suck at the game regardless of the k/b I use but I am enjoying it.

Maybe I am just looking at wrong. Majority have custom names but with, say, mweb name or WAGE. Can I still join those or are they clan servers? I have been out the online FPS scene since COD4 so yeah I r newb again :P.

The keyboard in question would not happen to be a Logitech K300 by any chance? I bought one recently and the small shift key is rather annoying but you get used to it :wink:

//btw why does the keyboard have two "\" keys(one next to the shift and one next to Enter) :scratch:

I played the game online for the first time and apart from the very few SA servers the game is brilliant :D

pls tell me you mean "very few active" servers??

I am sure Phreak can confirm, but there are a crap load of servers.

@Ana do you actually put a name in when you filter?

my filter is set up as: Africa > B2K+Vanilla > 1-5, 6-10, 10+ > No Name Entered > CQ, CQ Large, Rush

this way I get any server that is active with gameplay as conquest, conquest large and rush and that is both the DLC and normal.

Did pretty well last night. :D For once my kills outweighs my death rate :P. I also was able to get my first knifing in and grab a dog tag, that was a awesome to finally do to someone else :P. Realized something last night I really hate playing on the bigger maps. I just get lost all the time and no matter how I try to stay with someone from my team they always end up disappearing so I am always on my own and end up getting knifed by someone hiding in the shadows or long grass depending on the map.

@OTC I just set to Africa > BF3 & Karkland and thats it. Then I sort by the amount of players in each server and choose from there. Last night I realized that what I thought were private servers or clan servers are public servers just with oddball names. So my mistake on reading the screen :P.

well I dislike the 64 player servers, but I have my filter checked for 32 and 64 cause they are usually the packed ones.

we must jam sometime but you will have to be squad leader cause I hate that annoying "ATTACK THIS POSITION" "DEFEND THIS POSITION" when all you want to do is spot a damn enemy :@

my nick is J3rkAL0t so add me in BL.

am surprised cause I haven't played in about 1 or 2 weeks because of this damn heat.

see Phreak also played last the 10th I think it was.
