thats it !! its my favourite server but it rarely has anyone in it , is there set times that ye go on it lads or what ???

Have you joined the squad yet? http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391306744533/

Basically, when enough of the squad members are all on at the same time - we head over together and start it up. You are also welcome to join team speak.

The thing about BF3 is. with all these assignments and unlocks, some people are spending a lot of time still trying to get them - and sometimes that's easier to get hopping around on different servers - ones with instant vehicle spawn for example - or 24 hour metro for other things.

BF3 is a stayer of a game though - so i recon once we all have the guns we want etc... we can start forming proper squads.

ya im a memeber for a while now my user name is Fianoglach_Airm , have most of the weapons unlocked at this stage so im good to go , as for team speak, i have never used it , how does that work ???

I'm used to this from my BF2 days, what we used to do was run karkand 32 size. Karkand is great in that its still good craic even with 2v2 and people tend to join when its a server they know with people they know and its running karkand.

Our server will start filling up after about half an hour. Then by round 2 (we had every map set to 2 rounds ) we'd have a full server.

very easy to use...download from here http://teamspeak.com/

install.
Once installed click on user (arrow tab) and type your name.
In server, call it craggy and address is

teamspeak3.i3d.net:10447

PS. Please use push button to talk rather than voice activated as it's too sensitive and means you're constantly transmitting.

all depends on how much you want to spend

I wouldn't bother with the surround headsets..basically most of them are a load of bollix...
I'm using a Sennheisser PC360 (about €150) and using CMSS within my soundcard (x-fi) so that gives emulates surround sound and I have to admit...it's pretty awesome...headset is fantastic as well...extremely comfortable.

Tell us your budget and we'll recommend that best bang for buck

MR DAZ · 02-01-2012 10:56am

Brillant game on Craggy late last night ..

We were down to 1 ticket - opposite team on 25 tickets and we held out to win... absolute classic... teamspeak was hilarious :-)

ktulu123 · 02-01-2012 1:29pm

What is the craggy team speak server lads? I must hop on sometime for the craic.

MR DAZ · 02-01-2012 2:54pm

Should be on the below link

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...SH-BF3-Server/

I'm in work today and link is blocked so I cant do a direct copy for ya.

ktulu123 · 02-01-2012 3:00pm

Ah its on the platoon page, didn't think of looking there. Thanks!

MR DAZ · 02-01-2012 4:18pm

Last night aswell .. twice I caught lads out..

I mentioned over teamspeak that I had planted c4 on the tank @ flag whatever... knowing that the driver was on teamspeak... watching from the grass as they jump out and run for cover...

Thanks for the tank lads ...cheerybye!

im only using a set of BOSE earplugs while playing to be honest , although it does give a creepy surround sound effect in some maps , when your sitting in a dark room and you hear a creak behind you , nearly shat myself one night

€150 they are pricey enough , my budget would only be around 80 -100 max
and i would prefer something light and not overly cumbersome but most importantly ones i wont have to keep adjusting on my head , i dont know i might be looking for too much for that money

but what do you recommend

MR DAZ · 02-01-2012 5:37pm

I'm using the G35 logitech they were around 75euros at the time .. brillant headset and work off usb

Blazer doesnt rate them..but then again he knows nothing

dreamers75 · 02-01-2012 5:54pm

Free standing USB desktop mic and Sennheiser headphones for me.

If you have the space for the USB mic, you can just focus on decent headphones rather than a head set.

bah to usb headsets...I'd take a low end x-fi over them any day

do you have onboard sound or a dedicated soundcard?
Onboard then yes go for the logitechs, if an x-fi obviously just a stereo headset..

AMD HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEVICE "
i assume thats just onboard sound ya ????

is it ?? my graphics card is an Radeon ATI HD 6870 Vapor-x is that just telling me the sound part of the graphics card or what ???

actually it's reporting the onboard sound...it will say AMD high definition device for the audio on your sound card.
More than likely it's a realtek audio so I'd go for the Logitech usb ones that Mr Daz has....will you give better sound in honestly for your budget. (ignore--they seem to be around the €150 mark...dazza prob got his down in the market

)
Or go for these.
These are pretty good as well..I had the normal 5.1 version for my x-fi card and they're very comfortable for long gaming sessions. Avoid headsets with leather...they just sweat the ears off you

Just make sure that your onboard sound supports 5.1 (you'll see a black and yellow connection in addition to the green and pink etc)

I'd recommend these for your budget though..
They're the Sennheiser PC330, I have the PC360 which are about double the price and well worth it.

Have a look through Amazon...read the reviews and see what ones you fancy.. and suit your pocket.

Really?

It shows me both,
AMD high definition device
and
Realtek audio device.

I was almost sure that the AMD was the audio that come through the hdmi on the card.

It has to be said the whispers on the street are saying airblazer is running scared..

Not saying I believe these..but he did shy off from the last challenge due to "ping" issues...

I'm calling ye both out here..lets book the room and get it on!

Blazer · 04-01-2012 2:29pm

Some great games on Craggy last night...especially on Teheran Highway which I always hated before...finished with 38kills and 10 deaths...and on foot

AnCapaillMor · 05-01-2012 9:53am

Tehran a great map with around 20 people. Vastly underrated map and the only reason you liked it last night was because i wasn't planting claymores all over it.

True...I've never started looking at a minimap so much since claymores etc show up on it

Plus yourself/kitten and myself were all on the same team last night for it...

SpannerMonkey · 06-01-2012 2:01am

good games tonight even with just 10 of us when i was there , my user name was Fianoglach_Airm aka the Clare lad :rolleyes: look forward to the next time

ktulu123 · 06-01-2012 4:04am

Favourite moment of the night was jihad jeeping Kittenrescue's little bird on Damavand Peak! Delighted!

You might have been the Clare lad on there but I was the Clare MAN

Good game last night, good craic on TS as well

ShadowHearth · 08-01-2012 10:36pm

Will have to come back for some action to craggy. Was a bit away from bf3, but got the bug to come back again! Already racking up kills and trying out new weapons. Bye bye f2000

Blazer · 10-01-2012 4:56pm

Changing the maps around for tonight.

Going to start with 2 City maps followed by one large one etc

So something like

Grand Bazaar
Sharqi
Caspian Border
Damavand Peak
Back to Karkand
Kharg Island
Seine Crossing
Operation Metro
Gulf of Oman

etc etc...

What people think?

ktulu123 · 10-01-2012 6:11pm

Sounds good to me. Is it still one round on each map?

Blazer · 10-01-2012 7:38pm

Yep...one round each.

Blazer · 13-01-2012 1:10pm

Spawn time is instant, you can spawn on any squad mate, friendly fire is on (ouch),
vehicles are disabled and.......wait for it.....kick on 5 team kills (ouch, ouch) :eek:

Yeah, we're setting up a weekly series of novelty nights.

SUGGESTIONS FOR FOLLOWING WEEKS:

Week#2 Complete anarchy (base/spawn raping/stealing, camping, instant respawn etc).

Week#3 Noobtube & explosives

Week#4 Knife and repair tool

ktulu123 · 13-01-2012 3:37pm

Can I request either a C4 only week

copeyhagen · 13-01-2012 4:28pm
