Battlefield 3

Well, I've seen them all over the forums, and as far as I know they're still there.

I'll let you in on a little secret. We tend to stay out of General Chat altogether. There's metric tons of spam there, and not nearly enough time to remove it. As long as it isn't getting to the point that I mentioned earlier, we're much more lenient there due to the simple limitations of part-time mods that volunteer. It just so happens that two mods peruse this thread quite often that it got caught by our modometers.

...the only reason I even brought it up was because the original "spam" message was still there, whereas my response was deleted.

Yeah, I didn't check it the first time when I was deleting posts. :/

Looks like I'll have to suffer through hate messages telling me I'm a noob for crashing the vehicles as soon as I take off until I can learn to fly.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. For some reason I have yet to learn the rhythm to deploying flares. As soon as I launch them it seems another heat-seeker is headed my way.

On that note, javelins are the least effective imo. Yes, you get the lock on but that takes time and you cannot use that jav against infantry (plus only 4 to play with).

SOFLAM FTW on big maps, although I have yet to unlock it. It'll decrease the time you need to lock to practically zero.

Spotting isnt used enough. Mostly because its the select button... Which is unfortunate because spotting is incredibly helpful, and can net you more points than the person who killed the guy you spotted if you suppress them after spotting, and maybe pump him with 2 bullets. Thats a solid 250 points!

On a side note, does anyone want to add me to the LBPC platoon if theyre is one still? I need to squad up with someone who doesnt hug on to an RPG like it's a brand new puppy >.>

I don't know what your EA ID is, but you can apply for the LBPC Platoon right here: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...5240983416324/

Get dropped off in the middle of nowhere on Operation Firestorm
...


Go go to capture C, it won't capture.
...


After five minutes, I find the guy. Knife him, get rid of his spawn. Almost get C, then the game ends.


Got a KILL ASSIST 100
...


Jumped out of a helicopter, landed on an area I wasn't suppose to be on. Had a good view though. Then I jumped into a spot I couldn't get out of.
...


I was on a team who was losing really bad, so I switched to the winning team. Next match they did awful.
...


I can fly a helicopter!
...


But that's all I can do with them.
...


Accidentally climb onto a ladder while jumping. Halfway there so I go up, then got one shotted by a sniper.
....


Try to revive a guy, get one shotted by a sniper.


Driving out of spawn when an enemy tank randomly pops up and instant kills me.
...


I go to revive two guys, their bodies vanish as soon as I take out the defibs, then an engineer pops out of nowhere from the direction my team is in and insant kills me.
...


Then I get repeatedly one-shotted by a rocket explosion twenty feet away
...


Battlefield 3 is a rage inducing game.

Oh God that was hilarious!

Favorite parts: @0:55 "Swan dive!" and the ending.

This. Is. The. Most. Fitting. Picture. Ever.

I've yet to get computer rage with BF3.
I'm normally only a bit dissapointed if I don't finish with an MVP1/2/3 award... which doesn't happen that often.
Or if me & my mate are in a squad and we don't get the ace squad ribbon.

I think the reason I like BF3 so much is because, for once, I'm quite good at a game

Just got finished a whole night of conquest with oneof my friends who just got the game, and needless to say it was the greatest thing ever, with the both of us always getting MVP 1 and 2 and hopping in helicopters and tanks. Also really tried recon for the first time and i'm actually not too bad at it.

Also, what i've realized to be amazing gun setups for each class:

Assault - F2000 infared, bipod, heavy barrel
Engineer - SCAR-H RDS, Laser sight, grip
Support - M249 Holographic, extended mags
Recon - SKS 7x scope, flash hider, bipod

Finally got my internet running again and have been playing this game ever since. Its Amazing!

I have found many problems with knifing people in this one though. I didn't have any problems in the beta but i have experienced many issues where i press the close attack button when next to an enemy soldier and nothing happens. I then try holding the button and repeatedly pressing it but still nothing happens.
Also many times i have slashed at a victim and it does not do the small cinematic but instead just hurts them slightly which is very annoying.

The tanks are great fun and so are the jets. I haven't managed to kill anything with the jets yet but its still fun flying around trying to. I did parachute out of one thought and knifed a guy i landed on before i hit the ground that was cool.

[Macnme]

Yeah, I only knife people who are prone now... it's too risky if they're not.
They should have made it that you just hold in the knife button and run up to them - instead of randomly slashing thin air

So last night I hooked up with a squad of 3 Russian guys I used to play a lot of Bad Company 2 with. I don't speak Russian but it doesn't matter, we all intuitively know what to do. WE. OWNED. I must have played for about 5 hours straight, won every single game (except the last one where I had possibly my worst game ever lol), ACE squad every single time. Saw the return of the indestructible tank a couple of times, once with me piloting, once with me on gunner, made the tank last the entire round. These guys are pros, one match one guy finished with 53 kills and 3 deaths. I don't place much value on KDR in this game but ****, that's impressive!

Although I still roll with engineer most of the time I have come to appreciate the merits of the medic on certain maps, being able to revive players near an objective can win a match. While this was true in BC2 I find less people playing as medic in BF3 so maybe that's why it's more apparent. I also enjoyed wreaking havoc as recon equipped with shotgun in Metro. The spawn beacon + motion sensor + shotty in those tight corridors is a deadly combination. Unlocked my first "special" dog tag for getting the RUSH medal, these things look really cool and I love that they track your stats on the tag itself, nice touch and a welcome addition to the series.

I continue to be frustrated by people not spotting, is it really that hard? Playing with a group of strangers can be the most maddening experience in the history of the FPS genre, more so then any other competitive shooter. Some of the moronic things I have seen make me want to teleport to wherever these guys are IRL and slap the s*** out of them :P

Yes, you have to sneak up on them from behind or while they are lying prone.

...I did parachute out of one thought and knifed a guy i landed on before i hit the ground that was cool.

Wait, how is that even possible to knife someone before you hit the ground?

[Bremnen]

Playing as Engineer with stinger, piloting a jet with stealth & heat seekers and having someone on the ground spotting everything in the air?

Come at me, bro.

I hear that. I was gunner in some guys tank... he was driving RIGHT by the objective and then stopped. All he needed to do was move about 2 yards forward and we would have started to capture it... instead he just sat their like a useless t**t spinning his turret around.
It's like they don't know what the reason they are playing - they just want to drive a tank

Well, you're in a community aimed at LBP players, and LBP is a PS3 exclusive.

Did you this purple colored forum which says PSP?
