Got my new joystick yesterday... configured it this morning. It is a little screwed up to configure at first but I got it. I had to invert the directions so they worked right, and for some reason it calls my fire button Pad Down :confused:

So last week I grabbed a cheap SSD and reinstalled Win7 on it as a last ditch effort to fix my crashing. Guess what? It acts exactly the same. Same crashes and about the same frequency - FML. I really like BF3 but I spend about the same amount of time researching fixes for the crash (that never work) as I do in game :(
I have never crashed once since the patch. Before that, I was crashing all the time. :confused:
BF3 on sale again (40% off).

I found this very in depth recon guide. As soon as I get to javelin on Engineer I was thinking about either support or recon leveling so this may help others as well.

Hey, what is a good joystick for BF3?
I got this one: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/gaming...ks/devices/291
Ordered it directly from the Logitech website. Works great. Configuring the key bindings was a little weird though. I had to invert the directions since it only binds the axis rather than specific directions on the axis, and the directions are backwards on normal (at least for how it makes sense to me). Also, for whatever reason when I bound some of the buttons like the trigger button, it bound it as "pad down" instead of button 1. It still works though, so just ignore what it calls the button in the key bindings after you press it.
My Logitech joystick also calls the buttons stuff like Pad up etc. I think it's pretty normal.
I read some information about the SCAR-H after they nerfed it in the last patch. The SCAR at close range used to kill in 3 hits since one bullet did enough damage to drop a player 34%. That was why everyone used it. Now it only does 30% damage per hit at close range, so it takes 4 hits to kill. All other assault and engineer weapons that have the 5.56 rounds do 25% at close range, which means they also kill in 4 hits.
So, there is really no advantage anymore to using the SCAR. Actually, it probably has a disadvantage over other comparable engineer weapons, such as the G36C, due to the rate of fire, clip capacity, and recoil. The SCAR fires at 600 whereas the G36C fires at 750. And, the SCAR clips only hold 20 rounds as opposed to 30 like most other guns. The recoil on the G36C is much lower than the SCAR, so you get better accuracy.
IMO, as an engineer I would stick with the starting guns until you unlock the G36C, then use that.
Agree with the G36. Seems to be the best option.
