As far as in game performance I don’t think the ssd has improved anything like fps however the load times for anything installed on the drive have been hugely improved. Admittedly my pc was in dire need of a reformat, but even at it’s previous peak, I would normally load into bf3 and be lucky to catch the end of the round timer. Lately the load times were sufficient for a smoke break and i’d start a round with all the flags already capped. Now levels load in less than a minute, maybe as short as 30 secs. Windows is also performing much better and loads in a flash (34 seconds when I timed it, from pressing the on button). I think the pc spends more time on the initial bios type screens showing system info on a reboot, than it does loading windows itself. I stand by my previous comments that a ssd is an unnecessary toy, but i’m not sorry I got it. I suppose also that there may be another improvement, in that I can fraps bf3 now without dropping below 60 frames in game, which may be from some improvement affecting windows.
I know where you’re coming from and agree to a certain degree but having tried this out over a coupke of days, i’ve yet to achieve a kill with it. It’s also quite hard to pull of the switch, putting it on a different level than say dolphin diving, with a three key combo required for it, timed precisely. It’s also worth noting that there is still a significant delay in how fast you can fire your weapon, enough of a delay to be killed again by anyone alert to the fact you’ve been revived. As he says in the video, it’s cheating the screen animation, but it’s not to the exent that i’d lose any sleep over it’s use.
Oh it’s no problem, there’s enough in the kitty from the server fund to cover it, plus a little from myself.
TS renewed for another year.
Posting so that I’ve a reference for next year….almost forget about it.
Yea, you put a lot of cash into that beast sprog, and believe it or not you’re missed in squad.
Also line, did you get bf3?
Even with medics in the squad I think my play would suffer using it, but I noticed you got quite a few kills today with the setup so i’m at least not as worried by the assignment now. If you’re using it in squad i’ll try and keep you supplied with health packs when not needed by myself though. Oh and I know you hate it, but jump on ts when you’re playing mate, we don’t bite…talk a lot of shit mind you. And do you want those xdc tags yet (women love them)?
Yea I noticed that today and i’ll be giving it a go fairly soon to complete one of the unlocks, the only thing is that you lose your med pack or something by eqipping it don’t you, and that’s a huge loss.
Not sure I could manage this myself, but check this out Ben.

G3A3 with 3.4 scope, heavy barrel, and bipod (may as well).
I would imagine this would be an excellent gun for that misnamed mode you call “hard” core. If accurate (yea ok, a big if for HC players), you can achieve one shot kills to the head with this and 2 shot body kills.
Incidentally Matimi0 is another excellent youtuber to subscribe to.

At least we now know which way to run when we see him 🙂
Cool thanks beer, and ben too who reassured me at work today. I’ll stick the ram in and see how it goes.
I’ll soon be racing you for that first tank max 🙂
Bit of a nightmare evening for me today installing all the new kit I got yesterday, but holy fuck is windows loading fast now! – although my last build was really struggling for a few months so my perspective’s a little skewed.
Can’t wait to see how bf performs, but sadly there’s another damn 3 gb of data to download right after origin tells me BF3 is complete, so that’ll have to wait until tomorrow. New HD as well as the SSD, so the whole build is pretty clean atm, but I got some RAM as well, which I’m scared to install it atm, as I think I’m going to fuck up the overclock settings on this board by doing it.
I have an i5 which was from overclockers, and it was bought with them having oc’d it, but with the warning that installing extra ram will affect those settings. If anyone happens to know what I should be doing before installing it, please let me know, or at least let me know what the consequences might be of me doubling the ram while keeping the previous oc settings. I suppose what I’m scared off is burning something out.
I’m curious how that flash suppressor and grip plays so may try it later. At first glance it seems like an unecessary reduction in recoil all round at the expense of extra bullet deviatiin, but it really must reduce recoil to virtually nothing given the m16 starting stats. Maybe 0.1 each way, other than right drift, which may be 0.2.

good write up fella, only thing i would say is just try the weapons and attachments until you find one that you enjoy using. i play most of the classes except recon (i do a bit but not a great deal) and i have certain weapons i like to use based on map, game type etc. medic i almost always use the M16a3, red dot sight, for grip and muzzle flash limitor. for engy i switch between scar and g36. for support i use 2 LMGs, the pecheneg and the m240b. both of which i use with the 3.4 x scopes whereas all the other weapons i use red dot or holo sights.
This made me realise a point further to what i’d said about picking a gun that your comfortable with because if you are using a gun with what i’d consider less than optimal attachments, i.e. The m16 with foregrip, and flash suppressor (although that’s an interesting combo to tbh), if you do change to any of what i’ve suggeted above, you will encounter a learnung curve and face a period adapting to the new setup. Also the margin between the optimal is quite small in reality and you will always get some benefits through experimenting.
