Battlefield 3

Ah, thanks!

Also, if you press select while looking at a support/assault class, you will request ammo/health, respectively.

Wait! I'm in Australia and the only map i have available is the paris subway map and there are no vehicles and jets. How are you able to use jets do other countries have more maps in the Beta?

PC players have another map called Caspian Border. Which has vehicles. But only for this weekend.

@Whaale I knew i should have downloaded the PC Beta from steam. I might download it tonight if the Beta is still running and check it out thanks for the info.

Thats the nastiest meanest medi pack i have ever seen

Also has anyone else experienced falling through the ground and camping underground sniping people this happened to me yesterday or the day before and half my team was under the surface of the level and couldn't be seen. It was as if the ground in the same area as the Vid above had no collision.

Sorry not Steam i meant Origin or whatever its called. I don't really know it well.

Well, I've started getting tons more points... so Imma say I atleast know how to play now.

Last few matches I've been doing the best on my squad...

So I have invented a new gamer term exclusive to BF3. The term

Brush Crawlers.

Basically these annoying idiots just crawl through the bushes or fallen trees and debris and shoot at you since they can see you and you can't see them. I know for fact that everybody has dealt with these monstrosities. I have just named them though. :P I'm pretty sure you call them your own 'special' names though... xD

Well i like to crawl through the bushes and sneak up on people before i jump out and knife them does that mean i'm a dreaded Brush Crawler? If it does at least i do it with style.

Most of the time i'm only knelt down though as i find proning too slow and keep forgetting to do it.


Maybe they can't but they're going down fighting!

Well, tried the PC beta at my friend's and... Really, you don't have a title screen yet?

Tried caspian border, but couldn't have the best experience because the game was laggy (his video card was at 60°C trying to run the thing), but managed to try some vehicles. A tank, a chopper (that I almost crashed because I didn't know that the controls were inverted), and jets (that I crashed ). Also managed to pull some awesome sniper shots: my squad was on top of a tower, so I spawned as recon. To shoot some people at what was like 1-2km far, I had to se the aim between the first and second horizontal lines of the scope. When I shot:

ENEMY DOWN: 100
HEADSHOT BONUS: 10
MARKSMAN BONUS: 400

Yeah, I've had an entire squad spawn on someone down there as snipers and just start blasting away at people. Unfortunately, the beta client will not be updated for consoles so we are stuck with the glitch until the beta is over.

Aw,w come on.... are we going to lament the fact that they put plants in this game and that people use them for cover? It's a valid tactic, and it has it's weaknesses. Catch me crawling along in the bushes and you'll have a very easy target as I can't really move around much and have to stand up to even think about running in the other direction. Not to mention if I'm in line of a sniper, and I'm found, I'm good as dead.

However, the tactic is VERY effective against people who run around the map without purpose or paying attention to their surroundings, all in the hopes of turning a corner and shooting someone in the back (read: COD players.) It's also great for when a squad or two tries to storm an MCOM station and promptly meets the pointy end of my LMG.

Hmm? No. I have no issue with people who are "Brush Crawlers". I mean... I even do it myself. But then again, I even OMA Noob Tube on MW2. :P I just find it annoying when people do it to me... xD God I'm a hypocrite!

That's one of the best things about the game on PC! Your boot up screen and everything is literally loading the browser web page. I actually think its a brilliant idea. The only downside is that it then runs in the background, but as long as you have enough RAM your fine

They're called Bush People. The map I posted a few pages back pretty much nails the most common area for them to try and camp in.

[gdn001]

Who else thinks that bushes should be destroy-able by explosions? Trees can fall over and walls be blown, but the bushes stand there even if you detonate a pile of C4 in them. :/

Just had two funny things happen.

First, I had a teammate die beside me, so I got out my defibs and zapped him. He stood up, then did what seemed to be a genuine drunken animation, before he fell down into a twitching mass of which I couldn't revive.

Then later, I spawned on one of my teammates, who was infront of A on the first part of Metro, and when I did, I was literally LAUNCHED into the air, over a barricade, and landed behind another, where I was several feet from A. Of course, I died kinda nulling the awesomeness. If only I had been launched right onto A, and then planted the bomb... :O

That just reminded me of what happened to me earlier today.

On the first part of the map where everyone glitches underneath, I got stuck so far down that I couldn't get up and had to wait for the game to kill me automatically. (I don't like committing suicide. XD) Instead of it just saying some random username killed me, I was launched from under the map up and over everything about 100 feet above the ground. I got to see some pretty cool falling animations as I neared the ground with my arms flailing. All this begs the question, will there be parachutes and how the **** do you use them?

There are parachutes, and you use 'jump' to activate it whilst falling.

So, the BETA draws to a close soon, so I figured I would put down my Impressions...

I loved it. It was just... amazing, and thats on the PS3 WITHOUT any of the Vehicles. This is my first Battlefield, and I can't wait for the game to release. The controls feel great, and really make sense... and the grenades and others are great too.

The destruction is nice, but not overpowered... I can't wait to get C4 and blow up some small buildings though. Spotting is a feature I thought was odd. but now its second nature if I see some enemy running in front of me, that I can't get.

I'm still getting used to the aiming... its not the game, its me, but I've definitely improved since the first few games I played. I totally sucked then, and now I'm managing to hold my own rather well.

I can't wait to see the other maps... and after hearing that this one was disappointing, I can't WAIT to see what the other maps are like.

The bullet descent was a bit weird at first - and I'm still only halfway got it down - but it feels right, and it makes sense...

The myriad of weapon mods are a bit frightening, but none of them (except for perhaps the UMP) are over-powered. They add some personal flair, but they don't hold back plain ol' guns from doing the job. When I started the BETA, I was expecting to be blown away, and I'm happy to say that my expectations have been MORE than met.

Yes, there are bugs... but they aren't as bad as people are trying to say. I hardly ever saw anyone sniping from below ground, and if they did... he was killed quickly.

I can't wait!

You're very lucky...because it was as bad as they say.
