Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Its ****** like this above that I no longer even mention ours over here. People should just be thankful someone is putting their hand in their pockets to provide people with somewhere to play.
 
Am I missing something important with the SOFLAM , it seems like I can only put it on the ground once in a blue moon, I have to stand up and then run around getting shot at for about a minute on the same flat piece of ground untill for no apparent reason it turns gold for half a second and lets me deploy it.
 
Honestly, the average mental age of the TFU squad seems to be about 10.

I'd be more than happy if they were banned from mentioning their sodding clan on these forums again. They act as if they're doing the community a favour and the servers are for OcUK... When infact, it's just a way for them to make sure that their servers are populated.
 
Oh I agree.

But in a round abouts way I think BadBoy is a little peeved at the advantage he took. Put his server in our name while on trial. We filled it up for him and helped him out.

What you mean like TFU take advantage of OcUK and brand their server OcUK as well as TFU to get more people in ?

**** flies both ways IMO.

Exactly. They are just as bad. Not to mention using these forums to recruit new members as well !

Place SOFLAM up high somewhere where it can see everything.

This will then take you into the targetting mode. Come out of this again and go and run off somewhere and hide.

Use the soflam again and it will enter targeting mode once more, enabling you to designate targets from safety.


I know the tactical flashlight is being toned down but do you have a source for the IRNV being nerfed??

Not that I disgaree..Bloody irnv ****es me off so much lol.

Doesnt say what the "tweaks" are or when. I highly suspect that the phrasing means dice aren't going to do a lot about it. Maybe decrease the FOV and make it slower to engage or something ?

The campers are still going to use it.

lol all the irnv rage its being nerfed it was tweeted they nerfing it and the flash lights does no one actually read the posts in this thread or just concentrate on arguing with each other

:rolleyes: :p

It is good to see that the devs have listened to the community a bit more. Doesn't bother me in the slightest though, both are banned in the biggest leagues already ;)

Thanks, I do understand the use of the soflam its more that its almost impossible to actually deploy it a lot of the time, its so fussy about what areas of ground it can go on and what it cant

They've also banned the use of the tac light as well

Which highlights just what a whingy and pretentious bunch most of them are.

In theory all it needs is a completely flat surface. On top of buildings is a good one. On maps like Kharg island and Operation Firestorm this is quite easy. On some maps like Caspian border where there are lots of rocks and uneven ground, not so much. The key is the ground needs to be as flat as possible.


There was an interview here with one of the devs which has images.


Thats the tac light, Not the IRNV scope.

No, it highlights the fact that the IRNV/Flashlight is ridiculously OP'd and that it's an unfair disadvantage if you don't use it yourself.
 
Why allow unlocked weapons and attachments at all then ?

If you want a level playing field everybody should be playing with default classes and weapons tbh.

If both sides have access to the same equipment, its completely fair. no matter how easy you might feel it makes it.
 
Maybe they will make it if ur using an Irnv scope and someone runs at u with a flashlight u get blinded for a few seconds, which would mean loads more ppl using the flashlight :(
 
My idea to stop camping is a game mode where just getting 'kills' does not score you any points. Also at the end of the round there is no stats to see k/d ratio.

Instead, points will be awarded, for team based actions and contributions to the game objective as well as lets say a very small trickle of points for being inside enemy territory.

Campers will score 0 points will be at the bottom of the table and will soon get bored seeing them self with no points.

You do realise what this means right? Revive spamming and boxes everywhere. Not to mention invincible vehicles and lots of drones flying around.

You might think great, means we can get objectives done.

Nope: they will sit in some random area of the map way off the objective fulfilling these points to get the badges so they can come top of the board in a round about way.

Example: 2 tanks just trading fire, shoot the repairer? Nah just get the squad repair points since kills don't matter. Stalemate.
 
Just unlocked the IRNV for the Scar.. absolutely mad. Like a cheat as everyone has mentioned!

Scanning the scenery etc is just too easy to pick out players.

Perhaps you could make servers have rank groups, that wont let a rank 1 join a rank 40 server, you'd have a bit of a range though, 1-10s together, 11-20s etc..
