Battlefield 3

[Emperor Smeat]

DICE gave away some hints and tips for playing good matches during the beta and once the full game is available for sale.

Most of the tips are geared more towards people new to the series although a couple of them are very useful for the map included in the console version of the beta.

1. Stick to your team mates, and remember to spawn on them to stay close to the fight.
2. Use your kit specific abilities to help your team mates. Assault can hand out med kits, Engineers can repair vehicles, and Support can hand out ammo.
3. Make sure when you have armed an M-COM station, that you defend it to make sure it is destroyed.
4. The bombed-out tunnel section in Operation Métro is an excellent place to use a flashlight as one of your weapon attachments. Use it to light the tunnels up – and to blind your enemies.
5. Attach bipods to your weapon and deploy it automatically by pushing up against cover or going prone and zooming in – this gives you a huge increase in accuracy and stability.
6. Use suppressive shooting (fire close to enemies behind cover) to negatively effect the enemy’s fighting capabilities.
7. Watch out for falling debris as this can hurt you. But you can also hurt your enemies by taking out buildings with the Engineer’s RPG.
8. Shotguns are excellent for CQC (Close Quarters Combat) in the tighter tunnels sections.
9. Fire automatic weapons in short bursts for accuracy, or switch to single fire mode if applicable.
10. To grab your enemy’s dog tag as a souvenir, do a stealth knife kill from behind.

Yes the world fucking owes me something. :foc:

[The Destroyer]

Now I've gotten to know Operation Metro a bit better, I'm really starting to like this.

Still sick of fucking recon campers though, but I imagine that'll never go away.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Glad the beta came out, I really dislike the on the ground shooting and love flying planes, but not willing to team kill until I get my way.

[Emperor Smeat]

Better hope to never play on a mod-server because DICE already threatened to ban and kick people out of the beta and EA threatened to ban people out of their Origin and EA accounts.

Some people found out its possible to get banned by accident due to the quick match or random match option will put players in a mod-server without their knowledge nor does DICE have any intentions of fixing the potential issue any time soon.

[Requiem]

Not sure if I like how easy it appears to be able to kill someone with it as opposed to how difficult it is to kill the robot. But that was pretty rofl.

[LoDownM]

I know its a beta, but DICE really needs to fix all the parts of the ground you can fall through on the first objective area.

[Requiem]

rofl the jet.. yeah, that is what it looks like when you try to paddle someone.

Also, they have already said they are on newer builds of the game already, so a lot of what we're seeing might already be fixed. They also said squad management was something they were listening to us on already, so that will probably be better in the release.

[D Mac]

Will probably pass on this and wait for Modern Warfare 3.

I'm hoping some of the bizarre looking prone/bipod related graphics glitches are fixed as well.

[Emperor Smeat]

The achievements have been leaked for the Xbox 360 and probably will also be the basis for trophies on the PS3.

6 of them are set as "secret" achievements.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/battlefield-3/achievements/

[Emperor Smeat]

DICE has revealed a hi-res texture pack is being provided for console versions of the game so that the graphical gap between the PC and console versions won't be as huge as before.

It will be an optional installation for the Xbox 360 and PS3 while it was confirmed the 2nd disc for the Xbox 360 contains the texture packs.

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/119/1198976p1.html

[Kalyx triaD]

Wait... why not just have that stock? What's the drawback?

[Extreme Angle]

Disk space?

[Requiem]

As of my new PC upgrades which were installed yesterday, I might be purchasing this for PC. Having tried it in the beta with my new specs, it is quite a gorgeous game.

Looks really blurry on my non-HD TV on 360. Just hard to play, even though I do prefer the controls on console. Luckily, I can use my controller on my PC as well, and it has turned out to be a pretty smooth transition.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Caspian Sea is open on PC and still brilliant. It tempts me to buy it, but everyone would hate me. Grab a vehicle and have fun unless I'm in a jet.

[The Destroyer]

Wish they would put another map on the 360 version for a bit as well. I do like Operation Metro, but it'd be nice to get a map in the style of Arica Harbour or Harvest Day just to see what the larger scale fights are like.

Ah well, not too long til release now anyway.

[Emperor Smeat]

PC version already leaked onto the internet but only the single player works due to the servers for the console version and Origin servers were not activated on EA's side. The single player is about 9.9 GB in size.


DICE revealed 5 more maps have been selected to make it 9 maps overall that will be shipped for the game's multiplayer with the 4 other maps having been announced earlier such as the Metro map.
GRAND BAZAAR
CASPIAN BORDER (shown in PC beta)
SEINE CROSSING
NOSHAHR CANALS
KHARG ISLAND

All the maps not picked might end up as DLC at a later date.

[Emperor Smeat]

EA currently involved in a scandal involving one of their European branches trying to bribe reviewers with restrictions of early copies for guaranteed great scores. They also flat out refused or limited access to review copies to sources they know have given unfavorable scores to EA games in the past or are tougher in their scoring.

The biggest issue involves a questionnaire sent to potential reviewers before they can have access to the game that has questions specifically related to their impressions from the Battlefield series.

So far it was only the Norway branch of EA was found to have done this but the questionnaire might have been sent by other branches.

Hopefully sniping isnt overpowered and there are at least an equal number of close quarter maps to "expansive" maps. I think Bad Company 2 reached a great balance where snipers are effective without turning the game into a camping contest.

[Requiem]

Post #273

[Emperor Smeat]

EA and DICE had 2 announcements regarding at least the console versions of BF3 with the first being there will be a "hefty" Day 1 patch required to be downloaded for the game's multiplayer. It basically is all the changes DICE did to multiplayer since the beta but didn't have time to put on the game discs.

The other is while the ability to install the game on the Xbox 360 is optional, no high-res textures will be available and instead the game is in "standard def" due to those textures are on the second disc only.

lol I remember in BC 2 me and this other sniper had an epic battle where we were on top of buildings over halfway across the map from each other.

[Emperor Smeat]

News regarding the PS3 version of the game have the mandatory install size being 2GB while the "high-res" texture pack is still an optional install but just like the Xbox 360, "standard def" graphics for the game unless it is installed as well.

EA might also be removing the original promise of BF 1943 as a "freebie" for the PS3 version because the box itself nor the manual show any mention of the game while EA itself hasn't said anything about the bonus goodie since the initial announcement.
http://mp1st.com/2011/10/21/wheres-the-free-exclusive-bf-1943-for-ps3-no-mention-on-bf3-final-boxart/

[D Mac]

That's what I hate about the PS3. If Blu Ray is supposed to be up to 50 GB per disc, why do you have to fucking install? It's retarded.

[LoDownM]

Because PS3 has the slowest blu ray drive.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah the drive is shit. Installing every major act of MGS4 was not fun.

[Pintint]

BF3 is still best played on a PC.
Anyone here actually getting it for PC?

[Kalyx triaD]

360 here. That's where I roll.

[D Mac]

I thought the PS3 was supposed to be the best Blu Ray player. Maybe 5 years ago.

[Requiem]

Still makes a good blu ray player. There was an update for 3D too.

[LoDownM]

I thought the PS3 was supposed to be the best Blu Ray player. Maybe 5 years ago.

A 2X speed blu ray drive is fine for movies. But for gaming it sucks.

[The Pope]

Im getting it for 360. Can't Wait!

[Kalyx triaD]

I hope the servers hold up tonight...

Anyway:

Call me crazy but there's something more realistic about the non-HD visuals. Has a nice grain to it.

[Emperor Smeat]

Kotaku basically confirmed what everyone assumed would occur with the single player in being just as sub-par as Call of Duty (specifically the MW set) and last year's Medal of Honor games. Joystick also hated the single player and said it wasn't any fun but multiplayer was solid enough to not drop the score.

But they did praise how great the multiplayer was and how you can tell all the effort was done for his mode in development.

http://kotaku.com/5852823/quick-thoughts-about-my-battlefield-3-review


It also appears the rumors of EA planning to alternate the yearly releases between the Medal of Honor series and Battlefield series will occur because the BF3 manual includes the tease of a new MoH game and could be a direct sequel to last year's game with the Tier 1 group.

Yup me. Played BF2, 2142 and BC2. Love it all. Was on holiday for the bloody BETA :( Had the key for the earlier access, but was away.

Always better on PC :)

[Buzzkill]

Just got it for PS3, can't play online. Says Online Pass check failed and to try again in a bit. Not sure what that means really.

[Ermaximus]

Kalyx, we playing this tonight?

[Kalyx triaD]

YES

[Ermaximus]

Sadly, Flapjaxx and Recycled Human haven't gotten this yet so, I guess we shall play with my buddies Adrian and Kevin instead.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cool.

[RoXer]

Is this accurate? Will have it on Friday.

Love this game by the way. Got 1st place, 4000 pts and went 12-4 on my first game

Get off me child's play

[Requiem]

Loving it. Game is GORGEOUS and hella fun. Coop has been fun too. Haven't played any campaign.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fuck campaign. Can't wait for the servers to clean up.

[Emperor Smeat]

It looks like EA at the last minute went back against its word to include Battlefield 1943 as a freebie for PS3 owners (or at least as a pre-order) by saying that was ditched in favor of Sony just paying for the 1 week exclusive launch DLC.

"In lieu of 1943 being available on disk for PS3 customers, EA has made all BF3 expansions available early to PS3 customers"

People were wondering what happened to the freebie offer because after the initial hype to help sell PS3 versions of the game, it was never talked about again nor referenced anywhere on the box or manual.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/battlefield-3-already-breaking-promises



There is also other unconfirmed news of the PC version doesn't really have complete 32v32 matches possible as EA was hyping for a selling point and instead is just limited to a map or two.

[The Pope]

Game is awesome! A bit faster paced than BC2 for sure but still very fun. I love the sound in the game as well.

[The Pope]

I have 7 dogtags so far, but thats only because i completely forgot about the knife smh

[Kalyx triaD]

Got my little robot drone, but the controls are too loose.

Can't get kills with the jet for the life of me.

Getting better with the choppers.

Pretty much going steady with Engineer since it takes forever to level up.

Flash lights are hilarious.

[Ermaximus]

Getting Dog Tags in this game is a bitch compared to BC2. I was prone behind a potted plant and a dude ran by me and went prone right in front of me and I knifed him in the ass about 3 times and killed him, but I got no dog tag.

[Kalyx triaD]

Has to be an assassination animation.

You better squad up with me soon, I need more partners!

The robot drone sucks.

[Mooияakeя™]

Got the leaked campaign as it's only out tomorrow here, but I have my pre-ordered copy email saying "dispatched"... only problem is, to my old address. So going to have to buy it again.

[Captain of Fun]

Was gonna get this today, but decided on Arkham City, since it comes with a free copy of Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition.

[LoDownM]

I now see why my friends don't like playing games with me when the game has tanks in it, 25-1 in a tank last night. Was dodging rockets like a champ.

[Kalyx triaD]

Note:

If you wanna get your buds in a squad, do NOT start a game in a squad. When it starts you choose an empty squad in the squad menu and have your buds join it. Leave a squad if you must. Also, USE SERVERS, fuck quick match. This way you can snag a game with enough empty spaces.

Squad management should be a button press away from any menu screen instead of being tied to Quick Match tab.

[Kalyx triaD]

You can turn your flashlight off with dpad+up.

Didn't know this was available for PC, fucking getting this after wwe 12.

[Ermaximus]

Too many douches with flashlights.

[Requiem]

Yeah the chat window is fucking annoying. Hope they fix that.

Also squad deathmatch is pointless because it forces you into a random squad which you can't leave. Was hoping I would be able to join with my friends and be a great squad but nope.

[RoXer]

One of the levels in the campaign looks very Mirror's Edgey. I wonder if that's a hint at a new game or if they're really lazy.

They've been talking up the possibility of a sequel the past few months so who knows.

Been playing this at a friends and it's a lot more fun with some of the unlocks (never made it off rank 1 on the beta because I could barely ever connect).

Seen Green Man had it cheaper than most so grabbed it.

[CSL]

Nearly picked this up earlier. Bought a bunch of food and Misfits on DVD instead.

[Requiem]

In squad DM? Yes you can.

[Pintint]

On the fence whether or not to get it. I loved Bad Company 2, but with jets and larger maps, I'm afraid it's gonna turn into a sniperfest which I do not want...but, I did hear Rush mode is in so I dunno...

[GD]

I am willing to purchase it, but I am not sure if it will work on my laptop. I have a second generation core i5 processor, nvidia gt540m graphics and 4 gigs of RAM.

[Requiem]

This is pretty much one of the most fun shooters I've ever played.

Just had a run on Caspian Border where I went 13-0 before dying in a tank. Was 2nd on the team by the end, cause we were capping points like crazy.

[Extreme Angle]

This is pretty much one of the most fun shooters I've ever played.

[Mooияakeя™]

PISSED OFF. Game was sent to wrong address, re-ordered from somewhere diff on Thursday, dispatched yesterday. AND STILL NO GAME :(

[Mooияakeя™]

PC PLAYERS - Can you create more than soldier (ala BF2 / 2142 / BC2) under your login name?

[Requiem]

Gonna bring this up here as not to tarnish D Mac's birthday thread.

So, FA thinks the PC version is terrible for a bunch of reasons he hasn't even witnessed first-hand and are based solely on his assumption of what PC gaming consists of (hackers). OR, he is simply jealous at his lack of a quality PC with which to play it on.

Now, I only paid $48 for this game when I pre-ordered, and that INCLUDES the first expansion meaning I will get the new maps for no additional charge as soon as they are released in a month.

I get to experience the larger maps, more players in a game, and FAR better graphics. How is that a bad purchase?

[Requiem]

Yes, there are going to be 'hackers' in PC games.

But apparently he has forgotten the abundance of j-tagged X-Boxes that plagued the Call of Duty series. A j-tagged box could pretty much do -anything-. Aimbots, wallhacks, altering of stats and unlocks. It's what allowed people to hit max level from doing NOTHING.

Someone showed me MW1, and I almost died laughing at how many people hacked in that game. On X-box 360. The kid described it as a 'part of the game' because it was that bad. Literally 1 of every 3 people hacked. People would teleport and autoaim like crazy.

[RoXer]

Pretty sure you pulled a Requiem.

Anyway, it's a good thing no one judges this game based on the single player alone because it is still pretty buggy even with the patch. Went through it on hard and only have a few more achievements to get.

[Requiem]

Also I am not basing it solely on his one post there. He has discussed this 'in length' with me outside of tpww, and I think it is ridiculous.

[Requiem]

His post there was just a smart ass comment, but I know that he meant it because of other conversations.

[Requiem]

(5:29:15 PM) mmfallenangel987 It isnt that, its the cunts who will hack and ruin the game until its patched. :-(
(5:30:31 PM) mmfallenangel987 I distrust online multiplayer on PC's

Prone enemies are easier to kill. I can't even count how many people I've knifed while they were camping prone.

[Kalyx triaD]

And it's almost an instant headshot. Hard to find them when they're doing it right, though. The sniper scope flash really helps.

[FearedSanctity]

Had a fucking blast last night. Finally kinda got flying helicopters, hilariously learned that jets require both sticks to take off ("YES, FINALLY GOT A JET" *5 seconds later* "So, what I learned about jets is...") and a sequence of events that involved my friend sacrificing 4 people for his benefit that had me in tears laughing. Though to be fair we all had it coming. Everyone spawned in his vehicle while he was hauling ass when it was just him in there, he then proceeds to scream at everyone "GET OUT, THIS WILL NOT END WELL FOR YOU" "WHY ARE YOU GUYS STILL IN HERE?". Defiant we stayed in, he slammed the vehicle into a wall, yelled "EJECTO SEATO CUZ" and bailed. Everyone got out only to be showered with RPGs and fire from various sources. Was sooo terrible but that just made it even more funny

[Kalyx triaD]

Surprised more people aren't doing the 'C4 surprise' with a vehicle. Guess making the MCOMs invincible to damage shut that shit down. Still makes for a big bang, though.

[Emperor Smeat]

The game already broke the record for biggest launch week in BF history and potentially for all EA games with about 5 million copies sold (3 million at launch) but much lower than EA's goal of about 10 million.

They also pushed heavily the PS3 version more as an anti-CoD move due to CoD selling better on the Xbox 360 but it backfired because the Xbox 360 version sold 2.2 million and almost doubled the PS3 sales (1.4 million).

Origin might have hurt the PC version of the game due to barely 500,000 copies were sold during the first week.

Any tips on how to get easy points in Jets?
and can you get any points as the pilot of a scouter helicopter?

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm just getting the hang of jets. Spot people on the ground for points and look for helis for easier kills. Trying to get to those heat seekers.

[Ermaximus]

Kalyx, I just learned that teammates can rig a friendly bot with C4. WHAT!?!

[The Destroyer]

Spotting?

[LoDownM]

You could do that with the UAV in BC2 and destroy the m-com stations on Rush, really annoying.

[Kalyx triaD]

Kalyx, I just learned that teammates can rig a friendly bot with C4. WHAT!?!

Just to be clear, you can stick C4 on just about anything. Takes some coordination, though. Last night I had some frustrating games. Playing with a squad and playing with randoms is night and day.

Got some kills with the Jet. I really need a Recon guy to laser target shit, and somebody in general to spot vehicles when I'm doing my Starscream thing. It would make things super easier.

[Ermaximus]

Well, now that we know how well you, Adrian, VVesker, and I play as a squad, I'd say we're set.

[Kalyx triaD]

We need a dedicated Recon player. Blowing shit up is fun but we need range and... actual recon.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sorry for the silent treatment, had some verbage at the house you guys didn't need to here.

Fucking kicked ass with the jet this afternoon. Got my heat seekers.

[Ermaximus]

We need a dedicated Recon player. Blowing shit up is fun but we need range and... actual recon.

Adrian uses mostly recon. VVesker switches it up. Flapjaxxs runs mostly Assault and Support. I switch between Engineer and Assault.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm mostly engineer but I've been playing recon (with UMP as my primary) just to get the laser designator. But watch nobody shoot down vehicles when I actually use it.

[Requiem]

We (I and the people I play with) are on the lookout for a good clan to join. Mostly just want a group of people who take it semi-seriously and play often so we can play with people who actually use teamwork.

[Kalyx triaD]

Don't do clans. I'm freelance. Sort of attached to Ermax's boys, though.

[Requiem]

How does that solve our problem?

[Kalyx triaD]

By acknowledging one less option.

[Requiem]

What are you talking about

[Kalyx triaD]

Solving a problem.

[Kalyx triaD]

One step at a time.

[Requiem]

You are definitely just +1ing me here.

"Going to find a clan so I have people to play with"
"No don't find a clan"
"Why?"
"Problem solved"
"........."
"You're welcome"

We (I and the people I play with) are on the lookout for a good clan to join.

And...

Don't do clans. I'm freelance. Sort of attached to Ermax's boys, though.

As in I wouldn't do a clan. So...

How does that solve our problem?

By acknowledging one less option.

As in I'm trolling right now.

[Ermaximus]

I may start using Recon now Kalyx after my experimenting with the class yesterday. 6 games as Recon. 72 Kills, 21 deaths. Unlocked a ton of shit for the class too.

[The Destroyer]

I always found I really sucked as a recon in BC2, I was never able to be accurate enough to one shot kill people. I'll probably try using it a bit once I get to know the maps.

I'm using the weapon you start with for Recon, but with a 4x scope on it and a laser sight. You don't have to get a 1 shot kill because you can fire so many shots in a row that you'll kill the enemy most of the time before they even know what's going on.

[Kalyx triaD]

The starting weapon for Recon is actually 'holy shit' good for a starting weapon. In BC2 it didn't get unlocked until a while later. Still rather not use it. I'm like to be in the shit. Did some damage with the Recon's motion sensor and my UMP.

Now I see what you meant. All this while you blew bitches from the sky!

[Kalyx triaD]

Very sad I take down more aerial vehicles from the ground than inside a jet or chopper. Damn flares are annoying.

[Ermaximus]

Hahaha. How did you manage to take that jet down with an RPG last night anyway?

You left at the wrong time too. VVesker and I went on a tear as a squad of two. I swear at one point we were killing the enemy team by ourself, while recapturing every damned point.

[Kalyx triaD]

I use the anti-air rockets for those vehicles. They lock on just like the Javelin for ground vehicles. I believe they benefit from Recon laser tags as well.

I had to step off early when the roomy came. Hope to be on longer tonight. Got some work to do on Recon to get that laser device, now that I know VVesker likes to blow shit up as much as I do.

[Mooияakeя™]

Loving the AEK. Just unlocked it. Getting into this game more. Still feels like BC3, rather than a true Battlefield. But the more I do better, the more I realise I'm playing tactically. Just need some guys to actually fucking back me up now. Team play has gone. Nobody revives, too many TK's and no spotting :(

I miss 2142 / BF2.

[Captain of Fun]

So I've made the decision to buy this tomorrow. Gonna spend the next couple days grinding out weapon and vehicle upgrades so I can join you guys this weekend.

Never got around to learning jets in Battlefield 2, so that's definitely something I want to get into here.

For anyone who was into battlefield 2, how similar is everything?

[D Mac]

So I've made the decision to buy this tomorrow.

:n:

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Turn that thumb upside down.

[Captain of Fun]

Damn, getting rocked in this game so far. Partly because I only have the default equipment and everyone else is jacked up with all kinds of equipment and specialties.

And in much larger part, due to the fact that I haven't gotten onto a squad with mics yet. Teamwork is essential, and as I quickly found out, going lonewolf is pretty useless if you're on foot.

I like it that way, but the drawback is that if your squadmates don't use teamwork, you aren't going to do so hot.

I am starting to get around the learning curve though. Ended up in the top 5, in the last hour or so that I played, thanks to knocking over a bunch of objectives.

Need some advice for adjusting to bullet drop when using sniper rifles tho.

[Requiem]

Practice is the only thing I can tell you about bullet drop. Also, the SV98 is a pretty great unlock for recon. The 12x scope with distance markers is pretty great.

[Captain of Fun]

Will keep that in mind. Also, I was flipping through the prima guide today, and it's pretty fucking awesome. It's also enormous, and kind of a bargain at only 20 bucks. Considering picking it up.

[Requiem]

Also, joined a squad earlier in a caspian border game, and all 3 of the people were in a clan and were using different 'squad specializations' which was awesome. One had ammo, another sprint, and another had flak. Everyone stayed together, the leader was setting objectives, and we kept going between C and D just holding both of them down. There was NEVER a time when all 4 people were dead. Was just fantastic, and I wish I could find groups like that more often.

[Captain of Fun]

We should make one.

One complaint is that there is no real tutorial for jets and helicopters. I am not digging the two page non-instruction booklet that came with the game. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A CONTROLLER LAYOUT FFS

Would be nice to know how to get a helicopter to turn right without violently spinning into the nearest building, but I guess paper costs too much these days.

[Requiem]

We should make one.

I have this on PC.

Exactly. It defo needs the lifts to work. You know, in the room at the bottom of the stairs by the ticket flag? If they worked. All hell would break loose and at something different to that map.

[The Destroyer]

Yeah I am really, really awful at this. :(

Not been on a winning team yet.

[Captain of Fun]

Same here. Though I'm starting to get better. Might pick up the guide too. There is like 25 pages for each map. It's incredibly thorough.

What is the best mode to get xp on? Been doing conquest because that's the one I'm familiar with.

[The Destroyer]

Getting better. I'm playing Engineer far too much though, since I keep getting maps that are vehicle heavy.

[Captain of Fun]

Damn, wish there was a defibrilator for each class. Getting mad xp now, for simply reviving people.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, it's almost too much points. Especially working with a reckless team. Easy money.

[Captain of Fun]

Good thing every team I've been on sucks.

Seriously, I've won like 3 games so far. Probably because they keep squads together, and if you get stuck in shitty squad, well you're fucked.

Still haven't gotten any squads who have mics yet.

[Ermaximus]

Metro highly favors whomever takes Ticket Hall first and can hold it. Usually when I get that map and I'm on a shitty team I just use it to level my recon class.

[Captain of Fun]

I don't think I'll be doing conquest anymore. At least not the big maps. I don't think it was made for 24 player battles. The problem is that the maps don't shrink. In Battlefield 2, if you played a 32 player match, the field of battle would be greatly reduced from the 64 player map.

Here, the maps are the same size, regardless of whether you're playing 24 player console version, or the 64 player PC version. I suppose I understand why. Jets and copters would have no room to maneuver if the maps were shrinked down.

Is it possible to add a larger player count through a patch? Because that's definitely something they need to work on. I mean if MAG can have 256 players in one match, then there is just no reason why this game can't even muster up 32.

Rush mode is great though since the battle is divided into small zones as opposed to control points all over the map.

[Kalyx triaD]

I actually think the sizes are fine with Conquest. I like the idea of 'trekking', even though heading to an objective that's 300 meters away on foot is super tedious (thank god for infinite sprint).

I would mind beefing up to 16v16, though.

[The Destroyer]

Think I finally had what could be described as two good matches in a row, one where I somehow managed to defend an MCOM station single-handedly with a pistol against 4 guys.

Both on Damavand Peak, which seems like my favourite out of the maps I've played so far. Think I'm just won over by the ridiculous "sky dive off a cliff" bit.

[Testicle]

Metro highly favors whomever takes Ticket Hall first and can hold it. Usually when I get that map and I'm on a shitty team I just use it to level my recon class.

This is like Bizzaro BC2. I'm awful at Rush and don't find it much fun as a result, but I'm fairly good at Conquest and actually quite like it, which is the opposite of how it was before.

[The Destroyer]

I have no idea what just happened, but I was playing Conquest on Grand Bazaar and somehow became invincible. At first I thought I was just surviving through a massive fluke, but after I survived a guy dancing around me with a knife and not doing any damage, there was obviously something up.

I did the honorable thing and suicided, but it was fun while it lasted.

Couldn't hop on because my Gold ran out, and Microsoft suspended my account because they can't charge a card I been told them never to charge. So I gotta reload my Gold and update my payment info to get back on.

[RoXer]

Didn't Iask you if you needed gold a few months ago? And didn't you tell me that you were all set?

[Kalyx triaD]

Well shit I was set. It literally just went up yesterday and the card thing is an annoyance I know I can fix by yelling at a rep over the phone.

Fun Fact: The 2-Day Gold pass that came with MW3 is not valid. Yay!

[Captain of Fun]

Same thing just happened to me. They charged my card even though there was nothing on it, back on October 2nd. Despite the lack of funds, my gold continued, and it even said my next renewal date was Oct 2nd 2012. Wasn't until a day ago that they suspended the account.

Bought a 3 month card today though, so I should be all set to go. I don't even have any specialties unlocked yet, but I have a mic and can at least coordinate with squad mates, so if you guys see me on and want to play, hit me up.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cool. I'll get my shit fixed and shoot people with you.

[Captain of Fun]

I did unlock the defibrilator so if you get shot in the face, I'm you're guy.

[Captain of Fun]

Ok, the prepaid card won't even work.

Apparently I'm going to have to call microsoft to get the account unsuspended. That is so fucking stupid. If the card attached to the renewal doesn't work, it should just not renew. It shouldn't renew anyway, and then suspend you a month later.

Fucking retarded.

So at the moment. 24H played, level 23, 923 kills (1.08 k/d), 2.33 W/L ratio (77/33)

Award 'Highlights' - 33 Ace Squads, 66 Conquest wins, 5/10/8 MVP 1/2/3 ribbons.
Only medal I have is the conquest medal.

My k/d is pretty shit, but who gives a fuck. It's all about the win, and I'm doing solid on that front. On my latest battle report, I have two 7-win streaks separated in the middle by 2 losses.

[The Destroyer]

My K/D and win/loss are both around the 0.7 mark, which isn't really too brilliant. :(

[Kalyx triaD]

How many points do you get per game?

[Requiem]

Don't think you can view per game, but my per minute is 331.

Varies. Maybe a couple of thousand a time in Conquest. I somehow managed to get MVP in my last game with a score of like 2400, which seems a bit weird.

Not the same. That patch is going through certification.

[The Destroyer]

I've been taking down air vehicles like a monster with my anti-air rockets.
Aren't those being nerfed anyway? Or maybe they have already, I can't remember where all the different systems are, patchwise.

Karkand expansion is out. Patching nowwwwwww. PUMPED.
Bloody PS3 crowd, I have to wait another week. :(

I've now realised I can barely bring myself to play as anything but an Engineer. I hate feeling impotent when up against tanks and I'm too much of a coward to take them on with C4.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't know if they're getting nerfed. I don't remember reading that in the teaser patch notes from weeks ago. And in any case those things don't need to get nerfed. Damn flares need to get nerfed.

[Requiem]

Flares are fine and have a perfect cooldown. What's not fine is how ridiculously hard it is to actually do anything in a jet when you're CONSTANTLY getting shot at from the ground. Can't even have a proper air battle because a fucking IGLA shoots at you every 5 seconds. There needs to be a ground-to-air weapon, but it doesn't need to be so fucking ridiculous.

[Requiem]

Pretty ridiculous that you start off saying that you've been taking down air vehicles like a beast with your anti-air rockets, and then still say that flares need to be nerfed.

[The Destroyer]

I never manage to do anything in a jet because I'm absolutely terrible and can't figure out how to actually hit anything without crashing. Ditto choppers, about the only points I have on them are from passenger kills or from a few lucky occasions when my rocket barrages accidentally took out a load of enemy AT mines.

[Requiem]

choppers are the only 'useful' air vehicle. jets are worthless right now and I have yet to see anyone ACTUALLY make an impact on the game in a jet.

jets should be game changers, IMO. they're fucking jets. helicopters can still get taken down decently easy but they are still powerful and are more of a game changer than jets. a good heli pilot can unleash absolute carnage on an enemy team.

[Requiem]

Really, the only point I want to make about anti-air rockets, is that air dominance needs to come from the air. That's the point of fighting in the air. If someone is dominating the air, you need to have people who can actually fly jets/helis work on claiming it back. Shouldn't just get taken down from a couple d-bags on the ground shooting anti-air rockets. The only 'powerful' anti-air should be actual anti-air vehicles or stationary weapons.

[Requiem]

Also, guess Karkand isn't actually out? This patch was just a patch and was not Karkand. Ugh.

And for some stupid fucking reason, PS3 is getting it first? Wtf EA? Way to not reward your oldest customer base.

[Kalyx triaD]

Pretty ridiculous that you start off saying that you've been taking down air vehicles like a beast with your anti-air rockets, and then still say that flares need to be nerfed.

[Captain of Fun]

I have yet to get into a game where my squad uses mics.

Kalyx, we need to squad up, because as of right now, I haven't experienced any of the great teamwork that the other team in every single fucking game I play, seems to show.

I may not be very good, but I at least understand how to use the classes properly, which is more than I can say for all the squadmates I've had.

[Kalyx triaD]

We will. Sometime.

[Captain of Fun]

Was cleaning house on capture points, on the big vehicle heavy maps. Everyone wants to drive around in tanks and fly jets, so a single infantryman can get a lot done, if he's careful.

[The Destroyer]

Yeah, some people really don't know how to use the classes. Lost count of the number of times that a Support player has just completely blanked my desperate need for ammo. Ditto assault and health kits.

[Kalyx triaD]

We will play again. I left early for some MvC3 games.

[Hanso Amore]

I have played a FEW games on 360 where the Plane makes a difference. Mostly at Kharg where bombs and shit reign down onto the beach from above.

But I agree, seems to be mostly a thing where a few people are dog fighting, a few people are shooting the sky, and none of them are effecting the outcome of the match.

[Hanso Amore]

Yeah, some people really don't know how to use the classes. Lost count of the number of times that a Support player has just completely blanked my desperate need for ammo. Ditto assault and health kits.

To be fair, any assult who chooses health packs over the M320 is a fucking tool.

[The Destroyer]

I rarely bother with the M320. Any time I want to rain explosive death on people, I switch to Engineer and stick with an RPG or a SMAW.

There's only a limited number of maps I play as Assault on anyway. Generally the ones with meat grinder areas like the Operation Metro Ticket Hall where a few well placed defibs can make all the difference.

[Hanso Amore]

Oh god, the 320 is amazing. I get 5-10 kills a round with it. SOO handy. I toss a few into crowded rooms on smaller maps, and take out guys hiding in buildings in larger maps.

[Hanso Amore]

I just like the Combo of 320, Assault Rifle, Defibs over a Engineer Small arms, RPG and Repair tool/mines.

I play more Anti Infantry than Anti Vehicle though.

[Hanso Amore]

been trying support. Unlocked the Mortar...anyone a fan?

[The Destroyer]

It seems awfully like pot luck if you actually manage to hit anyone with it. I've gotten a couple of kills, but I'd rather carry C4.

[Captain of Fun]

Your team needs to be spotting for mortars to be useful.

[Hanso Amore]

Your team needs to be spotting for mortars to be useful.

Had people doing that on the Bazaar, seemed like I was shooting them at Orange arrows constantly, and hitting fuck all.

I have actually found the 320 to be very accurate...I can see your point, but I am actually able to hit targets with one hit kills alot. And even in somewhat close combat. Many a time some idiot rounds a corner into me and I aim the 320 at his feet and end him.

Just had an intense game of conquest.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/9709483/1/188224656/

We were behind the entire game. Was getting pissed because as you can see, our squad was absolutely demolishing people. We really had no reason to be losing except that the rest of the team just wasn't working together. Was an extended ticket game so way more tickets than usual. Whole game lasted nearly an hour.

Came down to it at the end and we controlled 4 points, and in the process of capping 1. It ticks down and we're just holding on at 1... 1-3... 1-2.... 1-1.... Game over... Your Team Has Won... "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
