I love Hardcore!!! I don't care to have my enemies light up like a xmas tree, and I don't want me to either.
It suits me in that I can't keep a constant stream on an enemy very long and kill more in hardcore.
I'm an old geezer, ya know!
The only time i'll play regular is if me and a mate are wanting to fly the attack helo.
It's harder to kill, but you get more spotting from the chopper in regular.
It's all moot right now anyways cause i'm banned like a bunch of others.
In my case, and i'm not sure if coincidence or not, I had been using AHK since beta to bind jump to right mouse button and zoom to the 'L' key. Once BF3 went live the mouse button binding was fixed, but 'L' and the other chat keys weren't. I'm sure my key config is on these forums somewhere...it's weird. 'L' is my zoom key in BF3 I hit with my left pinky. I used AHK to tell BF3 that when I press 'L' make it press 'V', which I bound to zoom.
Anyways, it looks like this issue may have been fixed in an update, but I never knew about and have kept playing that way. It's a huge pain is the a$$ really. If I forget to suspend the script everything I type replaces every press of the 'L' key with a 'V'. And if I forget to enable it when I go to sight up to fire I open the squad chat box and type a long string of 'LLLLLLLLLLLLLL' and am literally frozen in place and can't do anything till I press enter. By that time i'm usually dead and ALT+TABing out of BF3 to enable the stupid script.
YES I KNOW AHK and macros are illegal, but I've had my key config for many years. I can not "just change" my config so I had to make the choice to either not play, or do what I could to get my binds straight.
Waiting on appeal to Even Balance.
I am lords8n_X is anyone want to friend me up. If you don't mind playing with a convicted PB_Felon, that is!
Hopefully i'll be back on the battlefield soon!
