Sorry chap, I'll always squad up but the guys on mumble take priority places.

I'm with gord on this one.

Playing with voice comms makes a squad far more effective and is much more enjoyable!

If you don't have a mic then pick one up and join the Mumble, we won't abuse you much, unless you drive the tank into the river

Mrk, what gun are you using in that vid?

Last night on bazaar was driving in a hummer and got 2 kills....ran over prone people I hadnt even seen! I love this game for its randomness! Also C4 is amazing, so much fun

I "think" it's the M249? I use the holographic sights on all my guns though

Also I found you can drop an ammo crate on the bonnet of a jeep and drive around the map with it still on there and have it refill you/team mates

I to have moved over to the AEK after the SCAR got punked. Lovely little gun

I haven't updated the game yet, will it let me play the unpatched version or will it force to update before going online?

Was on an SAS server last night.

Almost every single person on there was either rocking IRNV or flashlight.

When's the nerf???

dave1983 · 25 Nov 2011 at 12:40

Like others i have on-going issues with this game which is frustrating.

1. Join game first time. black screen BF3.exe has stopped responding Ctrl - Alt - Del
then join again and it loads "lol wtf".

2. i have to underclock my GPU, my normal clock speed is 750, i have to clock down to 600 to stop the CTD.

3. Random crashes in multiplayer.

BF3 is a good game but it's so easy to rank up, im on rank 37 which has taken me 42 hours. on BFBC2 i got to rank 32 that took me almost a year to get to. i only play at least 2 hours per night and i can rank up by 2 on the 64 metro conquest servers.

Seems like the patch has resolved some issues but created more aswell, and they really need to sort the CTD issues.

I've mentioned it a couple of times, but no one else seems to have.
The patch doesn't seem to have fixed the 'spawn near an enemy' problem. Has anyone else noticed?

dave1983 · 25 Nov 2011 at 12:56

i hate the fact you spawn on player and as they die you spawn right back at base spawn. argggg highly annoying.

why did they add waiting que to servers?!? it was fine the way it was now we put into a que with another 50 other players to join a game. Stupid!

The Running Man · 25 Nov 2011 at 12:57

i do feel the nerf to the scar but its still deadly i definitely wouldn't ditch it. i do swap between that and the a91 when playing as an engineer..

dave1983 · 25 Nov 2011 at 13:00

I find the easiest way to rank up is a medic, also if your the RU in the ticket room of the metro conquest, go to the left and throw a nade down the stairs, easy kills and medic health points on average i get 5000-6000

Banzai_Joe · 25 Nov 2011 at 13:06

Metro is just a RPG/nade party! So goddam annoying.

yup noticed it a few times.

more importantly i wish they'd sort the spawn points out, some of them just beg to be camped as there in such stupid positions

Banzai_Joe · 25 Nov 2011 at 13:09

yeah.....DICE certainly have a lot to work with.

agreed only played it twice and it's rancid map which will force me to look for another server when it rolls round.

Mobile AA is mental, one of our chaps just went 65-3 in it on rush canals. It can destroy the amtrack for goodness sake and can kill a tank faster than AT rounds can. Don't get me wrong I'm not a flyboy but on maps with air and mobile AA I feel sorry for the guys in the air.

Poor opposition then. Two rpg's to the AA and it's dust . No way should he have been allowed to get 65-3. In a tank with a good gunner protecting you then yes. Unless of course your guy had two engineers behind him at all times repairing him?

Destroyer^ · 25 Nov 2011 at 13:30

I like Metro, I got my best k/d on it... 69-19 I think it was

at the end of the day its the first gun you unlock for the engineer and only needs 14,000 score as engineer.

It was never supposed to be amazing weapon. The beginner ones never are.

Its strength made the A91 and G36C somewhat pointless. The patch rectifies that.

Biggest problem with the Mobile AA on canals is the 2nd to last stage, where the mobile AA can fire from the main road that runs down the last stage, but the advancing americans can't get near it as its out of bounds.

So if the AA is careful, it can sit from behind the out of bounds line, well out of RPG distance from the americans, and rape the enemy infantry advancing to the M Coms.

And in rush, the only vehicle available to the americans is the Amtrack. Which simply doesn't have the fire power with that grenade launcher to take out the mobile AA.
