Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Is there VOIP with coop? Why they didnt include chat is beyond me.

Yeah, ThunderLicker and I used it when we were playing through. Seeing as Battlelog is separate from the game I don't think it matters what mode you're playing, as long as you're all in the party you can chat freely.

What I understand even less is why there are 8 slots in a party, so 8 people can chat. 2 people for Co-op, 4 in a squad, 8 so that....two full squads in a game can all chat together? Why two squads?

The one time it did let me spawn somewhere in the last game was ridiculous as well(though in my favour). DistortedUK killed me by the containers in Noshahr Canal but we still held the flag so i spawned there knowing where he was, but i didn't expect to actually be looking at him about 5 feet away with his back to me!!

(No sympathy form me though mate)

What annoys me the most is when you select a squad member to spawn on and a microsecond later they die, so you end up spawning aaaaaaaaalllll the way back at base.

That sends me into an allout full on rage!!!!
lol

I wonder if 4GB of DDR2 and a Q6600 would do me? I can probably buy a G0 that'll do 3.4 on air if I'm picky...

That CPU would run this game just fine at that speed. I do say with the q6600 it does need to be at least 3.2ghz as I found on my old setup it held my GPU back at anything less.

Yeah it should bring the map back so you can select where to spawn again.

Yeah, i actually enjoyed that metro CQ for once. I rallied over team chat to get people to rush up the escalators, for once people listened and lo and behold we walked away with victory!

Get enough people up that 1st set of escalators against the wall with people reviving the nade spam victims and its a guaranteed win once its capped.

Absolutely loving this game. Just spent a good 3 hours on the Bronken 64 cq normal server. Had a truly epic match on Metro where we won as Americans. Real team effort.

excellent games guys, i was in your squad C.P. with my bro iirc, once i got up there for everyone to spawn i lagged and got stuck in limbo for about 20 seconds while we took the flag.....never seen it done before so was well chuffed

Just applied to join the OcUK platoon Hazy13 if some one could give me the ok would be grand

Bah lol

It is getting very tiresome now, last few games i have been unable to spawn with squad so spend half the round trying to catch up with them!

Get a spawn beacon into a container and viola, depending on the server, you at least get one spawn there. First order of business with randoms is to put down a beacon.
God knows how good your squad members are, so cover your own butt.

Pretty much have a few good locations for a spawn beacon on all the maps. Same for the motion sensor. Then take the other team out with my UMP-45. Usually run out of ammo, no matter how many times i ask for some

I have question about the bronken server

Why do the stats for it not match up with battlelog?

According to here

http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/81.19.216.81:25200/

I've been on your server for 46 hours

Battlelog says 40hours 52min of playtime

What's going on there then?

Oh and metro game was epic, just suicidal stair rushing .

 

[Pighardia]

Just tried Bronken server but lag was unbearable, i was just instadying every time before i could even see my killer. Also it was spawning me as recon every time

It is getting embarrassing tbh, i recommended the game to a mate and we had a game the other night and the number of glaring problems with the game were very noticeable. Falling through the floor, IRNV, no identifiers and that is when we could even get in to a game because of disconnects. I don't think he will be getting it, i am trying to persuade him to get a gaming PC!

I just hope there is a massive update to sort it out otherwise it will get very boring very quickly

 

[Zero Pope]

I just unlocked my first IRNV today and I can now see why I was dying so damn much. First game with it I went 8-0 all headshots before dying and then the game crashing. Way to OP I think.

Just remembered i was downloading a game on Steam.....

 

[Tombo]

You big noob

 

[Pighardia]

You big noob

I know

I was getting a ping of around 150-170 on all of my favourite servers(ocuk mainly), now i turned Steam off i am back to 15-30

 

[overclick]

Pre loading MW3 i bet

PS I just preloaded it myself, BF3 is much more fun than i expected but i have always enjoyed my cod games. Have played BF3 40 hours, gunna try mw3 tomorrow, my time is going to be seriously split

 

[jaws104]

Go to the loadout screen for the different classes. There is a bar near the top with tabs for land and air vehicles as well.

Thx, was engineer and had lock on jet and launched three guided anti air rockets one after another, each time he popped a flare. He then proceeded to kill me and it said he haid 3 stealths fitted Do you get flares by default?

Also when I try to pop flare in a chopper my ir flare is still loading when next rocket is coming in and i die horribly

 

[dmcg]

wonder if EA can handle the starwars release while keeping origin and the BF3 service up ;p

 

[HaggisUK]

Thought id have a mess around with the USAS-12 semi auto shotgun as Recon tonight seeing as i hadn't unlocked anything on that class. Damn that thing is a beast, round a corner, hold down left mouse button and watch as 11 shotgun shells get pumped into the mob of players in a blink of an eye. First match with it and ended up going 72-24 lol.
