Ah, that would explain why we couldn't play D&D last night; Skype was crashing for everyone.
Yeah, practically everyone I know and game with over Skype have experienced some sort of crashing problems since Saturday. Tushon, Cherplunka, Cola, Kingpin, you, myself, AAlonz, ugh. Frigging mess. Someone at Skype effed up big.
I'm going to start with this: Baddlelog (and many things in BF3) is still pretty damn terrible.
That said, I actually had a lot of fun with BF3 this past weekend.
Canti, Cannon, BH, and I spent hours in vent/skype. Ryan and I spent many a round topping the scoreboards in tanks. Ryan driving, me gunner/repairs. BH was awesome infantry support. Canti doing his spotting thing in the MAV, keeping all three of us informed of where the enemy was/what positions were open for attack. I think we came out Ace Squad 5 times in a row.
Yesterday we had a total of 8 of us on vent playing at once. Getting us all on the same team was pretty terrible. Getting us all in the same squads was worse.
Morals of the story: 1) Seine Crossing sucks. 2) If you are trying to get somewhere, it is faster to run than to have Canti drive you in a jeep.
Hey Jimmy remember that time when we killed a tank from a jeep??
I like how the AS VAL is sooooooooo damn overpowered that it shows up on that chart. Love the AS VAL, though it is seriously hampered by its rate of fire (extremely high) and its small magazine (21 rounds with one up the spout).
Also from that chart, which I find extremely interesting is this observation:
The hitbox for headshots may possibly increase in size the longer you stand still. There were numerous moments where we were getting headshots despite aiming for the lower torso or crotch. If this is true, it is a very interesting "secret" measure developed by DICE to discourage camping.
We were really rockin it yesterday for a while; the difference between this game with voice com/friends and not having those things is night and day. If you are not enjoying the game, try playing with us, you will love it!
I absolutely agree with pigflipper. Being in a squad with friends and using voice makes all the difference. Coordinating tactics, spotting incoming enemies, having people you can rely on to revive you or spawn on, etc. It makes the game much more worthwhile.

Faster? Probably.
More fun? I THINK NOT
Besides, just think how many more power poles you'll get to help kill if you ride with me.
Took me nearly three hours to fix it, and it still isn't stable. Apparently the latest patch nuked the program for everyone.

AT in a jeep > Truck = WIN!

You really need to get in this game with us. Ace Squad pin 5 times tonight... we're all gunning for the medal.
Also, am I on your friends list? If not, add ScarboroghJones. I'll invite you next time I play.
I don't even think you were listed as 'online' last night on battlelog. Sorry man!
Video of Kenkel and I flying I had to add subtitles since my voice was so quiet.
Edit: Embed did not work:
Edit: OK, so Vanilla is way smarter than I'm used to - no more searching for embed links in YouTube! AWESOME.
The first is Jimmy, Canti, Bobby and I rolling around firestorm killing choppers and tanks like no ones business.
The second is us flying the transport chopper around taking so much fire and living to tell stories about it.
Jimmy- "I don't want to be Russian. I'm stuck."
Canti- "If you were born Russian, you'll always be Russian."
Fighting at the point under you guys towards the end of that video was so intense. What a great game.
Dangit, Two weeks until I can get home and start playing this again :/
