I like this, much better. Sometimes by the time I found out where to spawn (to prevent capture)...the flag is captured where I was about to spawn, lol.

Chat would be better there, although IMO I would prefer it on the right still (choice would be good)

Also, they need to make hardcore mode less in-your-face i.e. the points when you are capturing them are in my way (mid-half-top centre is the only way I could describe it, i.e. where I am looking for enemies lol). It would be better if they showed the defusing/flag capture near to the radar (bottom left) than on screen, at least in hardcore mode, or remove it totally from view.
 
Okay does any one know how the Skill number is determined on Battlelog stats? Mine was 50+ its shot right down to -48 and ive in fairness played well all night but had 5 disconnects mainly due to time out or lag?

Its bugging me as i dont know wth it is so any of you know?
 
I'm getting the insane mouse problems I had in beta that put me off playing. Managed to get it a little playable when I enabled mouse acceleration in my Razor software, but the problem is still there.

Sometimes it can be fine then it starts up again, clicking raw input off/on makes it playable a little again then it goes haywire again.

Bluescreens me at Eyefinity. :)

Other then that, it's a lot of fun.
 
Decided i like Metro conquest now. Its so much fun equipping the smoke grenade to get up the top and knife as many as possible while everyone else is at the choke points noob-tubing it up :D
 
Getting the hang of jets now. Resorted to using my 360 pad for flight, and it makes it so much better!

Not quite got the hang of effective strafing yet, but I'm actually able to stay airborne for more than a few seconds now :p

I just started to look at Joysticks for flying, heard some good things about them and BF3.

Likewise you are greyed out for me too, as is disturbed for some reason. I added you RunningGloves too btw :)

Iceshock is greyed out too :S Wonder why so many people are and yet the reverse isn't.

This has been happening to me too. Usually refreshing the page sorts it out.
I added all of you guys, my battlelog name is Flyingpig1848.

Looking forward to some team work, but how do we go about communicating with our mics? What system do you use and how to coordinate this?

single player fights are getting on my nerves now. Press E. Press mouse 1 .... it's not very fluid and it's quite hard.

It is not just those, press e put helmet on- you can't fail!!

I hated the shotgun in Bad Company but in Seine Crossing I got 11-0 with the 870, ended up about 17-5 overall.

Jets are lame. Someone behind you, that is it. Nothing you can do. Totally and absolutely pointless. Have found out the stupid 'Turn quicker' trick but still people can make 180 degree turns and gun you out of the sky before you can even turn and SEE them let alone aim at them at shoot back. There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with Jets that some people know about and others do not. There is no way someone can fly past me in the opposite direction, turn, find me, aim and shoot before I can even finish a turn and see them. The lamest console control mechanism I have ever witnessed. Same old bull physics from BC2 in the helos also. Whole aircraft flipping upside down because you get hit by 1 bullet, spinning wildly out of control by small arms fire etc etc. Air in BF3 is a total and utter disappointment - Just delete it from the game because it makes no difference to any objective on the map. It's its own little side game which occurs while everyone else does objectives.

Also quitting with Support. USELESS CLASS with USELESS weapons. Absolutely damn pointless playing it. Nobody but RPGing spamming nab engineers need ammo so as per BC2 waste of time playing it unless you want to spam explosives. If you use the LMGs they are woefully underpowered and woefully inaccurate. If you use the rifles they are just as bad but with more recoil. Put them in single shot and they do less damage per bullet than a pistol and you need to hit register someone 10 times in the centre mass to kill them. Trash class.

Whoever did map balance and design needs to be shot. Seine Crossing or whatever it is called on Rush. The attackers start closer to the MCOMs than the defenders do, get there first, and have an armoured vehicle.............. WHAT THE HELL?! The MCOMs are too close together on almost all maps which enables a well oiled team to never ever concede one, ever. It's too easy to defend both.

Half the maps I have played have stupid choke points, Canals is RIDICULOUS. There is another level where US come down a hill and you cannot get 5 seconds out of your deployment base. It's just terrible.

Engineers can repair tanks faster than you can shell them which is utterly retarded. Claymores seem pointless because apparently you need to boot them like a football for them to go off.

I could go on. But right now this is a frustrating state of affairs and NOTHING is redeeming it.
