Battlefield 3

[WoodburyRaider]

What is with the toilet mouth language that spouts out of my guys mouth every time I revive someone? From what I can hear, it seems he feels as though he is violently murdering someone while he revives them.

Oh and hey, I'ma go look at my K/D...

Hm...

[Alex™]

He was pointing out the fact that his K/D is 1.337 (1337), not saying it is good

Bought this on Friday (When it came out in the UK), and had finished the campaign by Saturday evening! I tried out the online play, and actually enjoyed it - despite never being a massive mulitplayer fan. I actually realized that although I wasn't great at the game, I actually wasn't too bad either.

Got my PC working. Battlelog is UltimateClay.
LET'S DO THIS

Exactly. I absolutely don't give two poots about my K/D. I tend to throw myself into bullets to revive teammates so yeah

[abyssalassassin]

Well, I'm getting better. The controls are very touchy. I'm mostly having problems lining up tank strafes, as I have mostly played Rush which doesn't allow for much air-to-air combat.

I do have one question: why haven't you joined our platoon?

Also, I decided to play some Conquest last night and our team (after several server switches) was getting slaughtered. I managed to break close to even in two of my matches, but the other two I had more deaths than kills by a factor of two. I can't improve my stats to save my life.

Also, in unrelated news, make sure you've enabled port forwarding on your system's router! Use this page to configure your system (PC, PS3, or XBOX) to allow BF3 to communicate effectively and reduce lag!

Fingers crossed this works; knew I had to do this for a very long time, apparently this was the reason I was constantly getting disconnected from Bad Company 2. Thanks for the link.

Well, according to Battlelog, I'm improving at a nice rate...

Instead of -133 skill, now its -70! And my K/D is up from my old .42 to a .455!

Now lets make that positive...

A 4.66 K/D? Seriously? You're either a liar, a cheater, a K/D whore or an insanely amazing player...

'doh! I meant .42 to .455

NO, I'm not amazingly great, but I am half-decent now.

Had me worried there My K/D's still at 0.6 btw.

[Alex™]

My K/D is 1.11 or something, same as it was on BFBC and BFBC2. I go positive but other than that I don't care, as long as we win...

[CyberSora]

So my K/D is 1.021. Sounds right, but I'm still amazed it isn't lower. I always rush the objectives and sacrifice myself for the team. Huh.

[Speedynutty68•]

I just finished a match of Conquest going only for the objective... I got -12 skill level but first in the match... 18 kills, 10 deaths. All I did was make sure nobody took B at Grand Bazaar. Meaning rockets down the hall, grenades down the hall, bullets down the hall, and ordering squad members down the hall so I can figure out where to put stuff down the hall. I didn't go around once. I just made sure we kept B and let the rest of the team keep A.

To go off that booster thing... Have a look at this match... ._.;

[Testudini]

Kog, ryryryan and I make the best **** squad ever.
Two ace squad ribbons.
All 3 of us were in the top 4 on our team.
So many points!

[ryryryan•]

Indeed, it was AWESUM

[CyberSora]

Well, deciding to see how playing with random strangers fares, I played some Rush on the map with the base jump (can't remember the name). All I can say is that I seriously hate the community. Period.

Only small percent of them know how to work as a team, so majority of the time I'm getting no help from anybody. My first round I was picking people off form the distance while giving med kits to everybody since we were defending. Multiple times my teammates, including my squad, would die and I would become the Forest Gump of the team; I rush into the firefights, revive them, and fight off the enemies at the same time. You'd think someone will do the same, BUT NO. I get shot by a solo Engi who then dies quickly, and even though teammates are running past my body because of the med kit I put near me, NO ONE revives me. This type of BS happened to me for majority of the other rounds I played.

Another thing that annoys me is how self centered people can be. On the same map, we were attacking, and a heli appeared. I got in and waited for enough players to get in and take seats in it. We actually did pretty well in it, minus getting shot out of the air. Fast forward a few minutes and someone else gets on the heli. I was racing the two guys to it, but since he got in first I automatically became a gunner. I said "Fine" and went with it. Instead of doing the "raining Hell" thing I thought we were going to do, he decided to fly over the hills, then jump out and parachute down, leaving me and another guy to crash into our deaths. As much as I wanted to rage quit, I played the round ignoring the incident. After a while, I got a tank and drove down the tunnels to see some other guy's car breaking down. So I, being an Engi at the moment (RPG'ing the tunnels works to your advantage), helped him out by fixing his vehicle. Now this is where he p***ed me off: the d**k got out and highjacked my tank. I swear to god I hate these people so much that I raged quit the round with no hesitation.

The only things keeping me away from getting rid of this game is a) the platoon, and b) actually playing with some decent people. I got to play two rounds with an awesome team; I would revive them and lay down med kits for them as usual and they'd do the same. In fact, there was one moment when we were holding off the other team near the base jump and someone died. I ran across the map to revive and picked off 2 enemies at the process. Later on in the round I got shot by a sniper, so automatically I thought I was dead-dead since I was too close to the firefights. NOPE. The same guy I saved hauled a** and revived me! That type of bro-act made my whole day! So yeah, the community REALLY needs some people like that instead of the solo a**holes I've been mostly playing with.

[Kog]

Today, as clay said, Clay, Ryan and I played a lot together, and oh boy did we rock as a squad. Really, when you play with friends and have communication, it's so much more fun.

Also, just got my medical medal And with it, came a (right) dogtag that shows the defibs on a heart, with the text "Tickler Tickler" and it also says how many revives I have So yeah, that was great.

[Merc]

Has anyone else had super epic parkour kick *** parachuting helicopter crashing tank busting infared zooming pistol whipping flag capping knife stabbing defib reviving killstreaks yet? Those ones where you go on a rampage through enemy territory and kill everyone and revive everyone and cap everything? Cuz those are awesome.

Also:

Also on the case of K/Ds, i think a better indication of skill would be points per life, or points per game, because there's so many things to do for points.
But my K/D is 1.51 just in case anyone was wondering.

Got it working on PC now, eventually. Until the release a patch, at least.
