Hardcore is a spin off from all the old realism mods, it's intended to make it easier for you to die in order that it changes the game tactics. Or at least that was the intention, a lot of players just treat it as DM instagib. However with too many of them on one side that team invariably loses.

I don't know how the hit boxes are coded in BF3, it would be a shame if a lower leg hit does result in death. I haven't personally seen that though...
 
Not enjoying the grind. 4hrs played, level 6 :/

IRNV is a joke too. I don't even see some players and they're already hosing me down.. not sure how you can react to it tbh.

Well you're an hour up on me pal, been enjoying and hating it with equal measure so far. Saying that, BC2 took me until about level 18+ and a good understanding of all the weapons and maps before I started properly enjoying it. Everything up to that was constantly getting hammered by people with magnum ammo.

Silly question incoming, but where do I equip my optics unlocks for various rifles etc? I can't seem to see them anywhere :S

Customise, then click "accessories" under the gun, then click right to scroll through the available options.
 
if anyone is having problems with Lag you can try the AVF servers. We have a Rush one and a conquest one and it's been butter smooth for me since the last patch and we have some good team players. Just search for AVF on the server browser. It's pretty popular though!

Do you guys really play Normal over Hardcore?

Hardcore is too easy, i wonder why they even call it hardcore, in bfbc2, i called it rank up core, as it was so easy to get kills, yes you can be killed quickly as well, but move about sensibly and your fine.
 
Don't get me wrong I love this game but I'm a little bit disappointed that after 27 hours I've unlocked everything for the Engy bar 1 gun and that's only because I need to play Co-Op to get.

I like how you unlock useful things for each weapon unlinke MF where you seem to just get e-peen enhancing ribbons etc but the XP system in BF3 needs some work. I say bring back the BF2 ranking where you needed 30k of hard earned XP to get from Master/First Sergeant to get to Master Gunnery Sergeant/Sergeant Major, that separated the men from the boys.
 
Hi team, i'm sorry if it has been mentioned somewhere but I would rather not read all 1303 pages of this thread :P

Am looking at buying a server with my platoon, so we can start to enter any competitions going soon, any thoughts on the lowestt latency + good reg servers. Experience you guys have?

Used Killercreation when playing css back in yonder day and it was really slick and healthy. Multiplay also seem very good.

Feedback welcome :D

But what about the unlocks for assault , recon and support ?

Battlefield has never been a game to pick one class and just play nothing else. You spawn in whatever class will help your team most. If your squad already has an engineer, you don't spawn as engineer anyway, you notice they don't have a support class and spawn as support instead.

As for the XP required between ranks, who cares ?

BF3S still reckons it will be nearly 2 years before i see the Top Rank ( Colonel Service Star 100)
 
Is anyone having issues with what I can only describe as being half way through the floor? On certain servers I get this quite a bit so im assuming its sever side....

Cant wait for karkand to be back though, i had over 300 hours on bf2 on that map hah

You don't do more damage, you have 60 hp instead of 100, but same thing I guess, except you generally lack more hud info, no 3d spotting, no minmap spotting, no kill cam.

Then you go and say it's for noobs...

I have had this as well recently, also after I have been killed, when it is showing my killer
The screen keeps flashing as well, but only in those circumstances and on the odd occassion
 
On the odd occasion when it is logging into a server I get the Windows error message "BF3 has stopped working" etc.
I don't know if this is a problem with the actual server I am trying to connect to crashing BF3 or if it is the game itself. There is no problem once I am playing.
I havn't taken notice if this only happens on particular servers or not
 
Hey guys.

Last night I tried to play some multiplayer and I was getting what I thought was lag/ping issues. However after looking into it a bit more I have found out it is something named "rubber banding" its where your game has you move forwards/backwards oddly.

I want to know how to fix it? I assume I have to wait for a patch for EA!


I don't want to play BF3 until this is fixed!
 
Rubber banding is pretty much either one of 2 things.

Your Internet connection is poor - bad upload speed or high packetloss.
Server is overstressed - network code issue.

Since Dice have already pushed a patch for network stuff on Caspian and Tehran Highway
id start by looking at your Internet connection.

create a monitor here http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/monitors.html

and watch it for 48h see if there is any correlation between your rubber banding and periods of high use on the monitor
