The Battlefield Thread - The Bear and Badger

The light machine guns seem to all have a sweet spot in terms of set up, you just need to find it. Bi-pod, long range sight and flashÂ suppressor is a combo I'd usually avoid, but works for a few of them. Suppression perk is also an obvious plus.

I don't really understand what you get for your money with Premium? I'd rather just pick and choose which map packs I buy depending on whether they actually look any good or not. Unless I'm missing something it looks like with Premium you pay a lot of money for stuff that might turn out to be bobbins.

what gives?

bi-pod is often overlooked. I like to deploy it with the SKS. They've made it a bit easier to setup on walls etc... than when it first came out.

@g

You get a few new guns, assignments dog tags, stuff like that. Nothing major. Also week long double xp events.Â

I think I'll just see what everyone else does - not desperate for the Close Quarters stuff anyway. Should be all big maps imo.

Well done, that quite a turnaround. I was starting to think we were the only three people on our side actually playing. +1 g.man

Get used to that feeling, it's one of the major gripes with this.

I'm staying in tonight and she's off out, so I'll be on without a doubt. I'm getting my hopes up that we'll end up with a team full of Badgers, but if past experiences are anything to go by we'll be evenly split across the two teams. If that happens, I'm apologising for my swearing/stabbing in advance.

Tbh, the spackers don't really bother me much. As long as I'm having fun that's all Im bothered about.

according to the in game premium release time line. You get new kit and stuff regularly throughout the year not just on this one time. I wouldve more than likely bought all of the map packs. So sod it premium was worth it for them alone.

What's the maximum size USB device you can plug into an Xbox? Could i use a 500gb external drive? That way I can play with you all instead of spending the evening weeping at the TV.

LazyGunn

Max partition is 16GB, and you can have 2 of them on one drive.

You can use a HDD drive as long as it passes the speed test the xbox initiates.

Max 16gb unfortunately but should be enough to play BF3. You could use your external hard drive and create a partition. Just make sure you select the custom size and setting that doesn't format your entire drive.

edit: Bah, seconds too late.

If you're stuck lad, I don't mind THing or GRAWing it instead.

For shame webbo. Let him wallow in his black pudding hell.

When was Rolf fecking Harris assigned to our squad?

LazyGunn

eh,just partition your hd

g.man

No, U.

FranticPea

Cheers all I'll try it out later.

g.man

If you run into a brick wall with all this and it's an old style 360m your using, I've got an old style 20gig official hard drive I don't use anymore and would happily post to you.Â
Not much use for imminent shenanigans, but if you're stuck long term let me know.

FranticPea

Cheers g, but my slim should be fixed soon.Â

Just need to, you know, actually take it to the repair place. Hopefully get a spare hour tomorrow.

FranticPea

HDD didn't work.Â

Dammit.

LazyGunn

did you try partitioning?

FranticPea

The Xbox won't recognise the external drive.

g.man

Great fun with BigIain there. Randomly disconnected on about 8500 points though. If I'm losing these I'll not be a happy bunny!
In other news I have purchased the "all weapons" pack on account of having too much money and not enough time. I will burn in hell for this, but at least I'll have plenty of guns with me.

I'll play some RS:V2 or Ghosr Recon if you can't get it sorted.

Did you unplug your 4gb usb drive first? That might be stopping it?

pabloamigo

Does it have to be FAT32 first, then you plug it in and format it on your xbox. Or am I getting the wrong end of the rifle butt.

That's what I did recently with a 4GB stick anyhow.

Howdy, Stranger!
