Had some pretty good footage in my first match of BF4.

Here it is: http://youtu.be/E_hRtFr1I0c

I was happy I got to counter knife someone!

Here it is folks! I was able to get some game footage recorded this morning before classes. Hope to see you guys on the Battlefield!

Part 1: http://youtu.be/OQcCdzm-AOc
Part 2: http://youtu.be/sEHD5mBBXLY
Part 3: http://youtu.be/N0YDCIDdrNU

It is definitely a lot different, I really like it though. DICE did an excellent job even on the Beta.

Hopefully by time you guys see the video it is in 1080p, it is still processing.

Lastly, I will be uploading several more videos through out the week!

I bought some new parts for my computer. I thought I would share them with you all. I'm getting ready for BF4 
Here is the Reddit post I did if you care to check that out:

Or here is just the direct link for the build.

Hope you guys like it!   

I just was seeing if anyone here plays any of the versions of Minecraft. (Minecraft/Tekkit/Voltz..etc).

I use to have two servers running, but barely any of my close friends played on them so I took them down.
If there is any interest in my re-establishing these servers, I could possibly whitelist you to join.

Thanks,

Hey everyone, I just thought I would post some information that I found out about why the servers on BF3 are acting so shitty.
The reason is a DDoS attack.

A Dice Dev posted something that really has good information:

I've read through the entire thread and I see there's still a bit of misinformation/frustration going around, which is understandable and I empathize with you guys, I know the situation really sucks, but we're not sitting around doing nothing about it.

Our official statement is here:
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...4625527878522/

To those of you who feel that we're not doing enough, we've been handling these DDoS (and RDDoS) attacks for longer than you guys have been seeing the issues, unfortunately as with all of these sort of attacks, it's a constant cat and mouse game, and it's extremely expensive and time consuming on our side to mitigate. We (and our hosts) are in constant 24/7 Red Alert mode trying to handle the problem and find who is responsible. It's not easy, it takes a LOT of manpower, and it is unbelievably expensive with all the hardware we have to run to attempt to keep services working as best as they can when being utterly flooded by the attacker(s).

We didn't release a statement earlier because we thought we were close to getting a lid on it, but due to the continued renewed attacks, we felt it was necessary to break the silence.

Also for those of you who think that this is because of the BF4 release, we have no plans to cut support for BF3 (or MoH:W) as long as there are players wanting to play the game. If you don't believe me, then just have a look at how you can still play our previous Battlefield games even today.

We will get through this

UPDATE: Directly from battlelog

Despite our security measures, we have been working around the clock to mitigate the impact of an ongoing denial-of-service attack on our Battlefield 3 game infrastructure over the last several days. While the motives are unclear, the focus of the attack has been interference with network communications preventing access to multiplayer gameplay. At this point, no user data is involved. We share your frustration about the impact this has had to our service and the ability for many of you to play Battlefield 3. We are working tirelessly to mitigate the problem. As a part of our efforts to resolve these issues, we’ve conducted rolling restarts of Battlefield infrastructure servers to apply some updates. Thank you for your patience and support while we work to get everyone back and playing Battlefield 3 as soon as possible. More updates to come.

For those of you that don't know what a DDoS attack is, here is this article:

As for everyone this has been extremely frustrating. On the plus side, its a good time to get work done!  

So I was playing a match with Proheli and we were absolutely raping them. Then I guess my graphics card decided to go to complete shit. This is what happened.

Hello. I've done enough of the dirty deeds you've asked. I'd like to be accepted.
