With 2011 coming to a close, many gamers are finally getting down to deciding what the best game of 2011 was, and many have come to the same conclusion: Battlefield 3. What better way to ring in the new year then to check out this Battlefield 3 Guide, then hop online and get a few games in? You can apply the strategies in that guide to help you win more games of Battlefield 3, which is always fun no matter what day of the year it is.

You may be wondering exactly why many players consider Battlefield 3 to be the best game of 2011. Well, first of all, compared to any other mainstream FPS game, Battlefield 3 is simply able to handle way more players in an interesting way. You can play larger maps in Call of Duty, but it does not feel right, whereas 16v16 is a standard mode in Battlefield 3.

Why does more players help? Well, it allows people who are skilled tacticians to be able to really exercise a full range of abilities and strategies. It is not as simply as aiming and shooting, but rather the best players are able to split up into squads to take down players and objectives, even if the other side has better gunners.

An example of this would be having two squads in the back providing suppression fire. They would just camp out and spray anyone who was firing to keep them behind cover. One squad could then go up the left route while another went up the right due this cover fire. Players in the squads on the right and left could then set up a huge smoke screen via smoke bombs. The center, support team could then push forward and cause havoc while the right and left teams simultaneously went to cap the right and left M-COMs. This is an example of strategy being used in Rush mode.

You just do not see this kind of strategy in other FPS games, so if you really like working with your team and trying to outsmart the enemy in a war game, Battlefield 3 is a good choice for you. When you factor in that it has the best graphics and most realistic combat and guns, it is no surprise that many players consider this not only the best FPS of 2011 but also the best game of the year.

So you just got your hands on Diablo 3 – what are you going to do now? There are a lot of great options available to you – you could play through the game, PvP, solo, or farm for items.

However, before you do any of that, you need to decide on the best Diablo 3 builds. It really depends on what type of game you are playing and what you want your character to engage in when acctually playing D3.

For example, suppose you want to play through the game and level up. If this is the case, you will need a nice balanced build that is capable of handling both lots of weak monsters plus boss monsters. This means you will want to focus on maxing out at least one single-target ability for bosses (preferably a short and long ranged attack so you can handle more bosses) as well as maxing out at least one AoE ability to handle large packs of weak monsters.

Now, perhaps you just want to level up. In this case, you might go after as many packs of weak monsters as possible without any concern for bosses. You would just want to max out your AoE abilities in this case and not even pay attention to anything else. Who needs a single target ability when you are simply farming packs of trash? You might want to even pick a spec with buffs so you can level up with a friend.

If you want to farm items, perhaps you might come up with a boss farming spec. This would be something that has great single-target damage so you can take out bosses but also something with good mobility so you can skip past most packs of trash which do not need to be taken out in order to battle the boss. After all, why fight what you don’t have to? If you skip over that stuff, you can just get access to easier and better items and loot.

Finally, you might come up with a PvP build which is ideal for fighting against other players. Diablo 3 builds of this sort would really max out HP and defense. Player attacks tend to do a lot more damage than boss hits, so you need to be prepared to fight other players by maximizing all your defenses so you can last long enough to make the most out of your abilities.

There are a lot of great build orders Terran players can use, but most players never venture beyond a standard opener of a 9 Supply Depot and a 12 Barracks. There are actually a lot of good Starcraft 2 Terran build orders that you can use which do not follow this standard layout, and can be very confusing for your opponent if they are used correctly.

One of these builds is the refinery first build. This involves getting a Refinery as your second additional building rather than getting a Barracks. The reason you might do this would be to get out very fast Siege Tanks or play for an expansion build. This allows you to get out a Factory as soon as your Barracks finished. You could even get a Tech Lab on your Barracks right away too in order to swap your Factory for the Barracks as soon as it is done to start adding Siege Tanks to your army right away.

A lot of players use that particular build order not only for Siege Tanks but also to get out a very quick Reaper. This Reaper is then used for scouting information and to establish map control. You can defend your entire base very easily for example versus a Zerg player with a single Reaper until they get access to the speed upgrade for their Zerglings. Reapers can kite Zerglings otherwise and a well-controlled single Reaper can both wreck havoc on a Zerg base and defend the Teran main while you tech up.

Additionally, you can use this build order in order to move into fast hellions. The only downside with this is that the new patch is making Hellions a lot less effective, so you should consider not learning this build or spending the time it takes to master this aspect of the build simply because fast Hellions are getting a lot weaker.

By using the Refinery-First Terran build order, you are open to a world of fast technology and not limited by just the simple 2-Rax openers that define most Terran Starcraft 2 player’s games.

There are a lot of different options when it comes to treating your heartburn in this modern era. There are all sorts of medications and remedies which are popular and there are even holistic health options you can use to stop acid reflux.

If you go to a doctor, the primary method of heartburn treatment is through the use of prescription medication. There are two primary classes of medications which are used: H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors.

The class of medications known as H2 blockers is typically shorter acting, and may last 4-8 hours for a single use. One downside to using these medications is that many people report that they are not effective when used for the long term. If you use these for longer than the recommended two weeks, they often stop working altogether as your body adapts to the dosage.

On the other hand, there is a different class of medications which is known as a proton pump inhibitor. This class of medication typically works for much longer than H2 blockers, and can last anywhere from 12 to 24 hours after being used for a single dose. The problem with this class of medication is not its effectiveness but rather its side effects; it negatively impacts digestion and stops the absorption of a variety of nutrients, which can lead to problems over time.

Additionally, you always have the option of using a more holistic approach. One of the easiest ways you can “treat” heartburn is just by losing weight. You need to get rid of excess body fat as this inflammation really leads to problems over time and is a serious cause of heartburn.

Another option for acid reflux treatment is avoiding things which often cause heartburn. This includes things like smoking as well as cutting down on alcohol usage. Both of these things are strong contributors to heartburn and for many people just losing weight and cutting out smoking and drinking will work better than medication.
