Well thats a new bug, got revived as i was about to respawn, but it was asking me to respawn. Couldnt even commit suicide as i was already dead. Original at least
yeah ive had that. Got revived but spawn screen comes up, cant esc out of it or move. Gotta sit and wait to be killed
one bug I've come across several times is the ammo counter for the rockets as a helicopter pilot. it just constantly flashes reload and says I have none even when I know I have a full load. Even if I actually reload or even loose off all my rockets it still flashes reload at me. Good job it actually reloads and lets me use the rockets!
I unlocked the laser painter for the helicopter and, like the SOFLAM, no bugger is using the Javelin. Having been on a server where someone was lasing pretty much anything that moved it had a devastating effect on enemy vehicles and even helicopters and jets. it has a very very long range and also increases the range of the Javelin itself but no one uses it! I've removed it now which makes me sad.
I've also had the 'alive but dead' spawn screen problem as well. it's only happened a couple of times though.

Amazing?
Also you want to put a swearing warning.
Not heard the S word since the 80's.

Something I noticed earlier. The really long loading time is just battlefrog being silly and not showing the join game button. If you join a server look on your task bar at the bottom of the screen. After about 5 seconds a BF3 one will apear as if the game is minimised. Click it and you're in.
Silly frog making us wait so long.

LOL...i was flicking through some stuff on battlelog earlier (some system actually....stores a LOT of info, DICE done well here I think) and came across a couple of guys who have miracle SPM's in the game. I clicked on one of the matches they played in...

So..pretty much 2 v 2....kill/revive...kill/revive...for 2 1/2 hours!!!!
Stat padders obviously...but how could you do this for two hours just to increase your stats....how sad are people really??

Trust me its so much more to it than that. Literally i had about 4 - 5 clan mates trying to work out why i couldn't connect, we tried everything from UPNP, DMZ flush, port forwarding, turning all fire walls and anti virus's off, un-install re-install, manually update punkbuster, repair the installation and many many more.
In the end i had to do a complete fresh instal of windows. It would appear that Battlelog conflicts with unknown programme or setting. Battlelog is a great idea but in practise it is sadly a POS atm.
Its amazing how much dedication people put in to get a few levels. Wont make them play any better, unless they hide in a corner with IRNV

It's shame but you'll always get the 12 year old's "console kiddie" mentality of those jumping into almost empty servers to stats pad. I was looking for one, purely to learn how to fly though as my keybinds don't seem to work right.....never did find one.
Another problem is the perception of cheating. I'm guilty of this, thinking "no way could you see me", but then when i unlocked the IRNV, you realise that unless you're behind something solid, you're visible.
Been kicked off a couple of server for flaming someone who i though was cheating
....and they probably weren't, they just have better unlocks than me 
.
Oh...they need to nerf the chopper on board repairs. I was in a chopper, we took loads of hits, but 2 of us just kept repairing whilst the gunner ploughed the field. Got bored after a while as no one could kill us, so i jumped.....and my chute failed.... = karma right there!

= karma right there! What do most of you guys prefer for an assault weapon? I've tended to stick with the
m416 but wanna try something new. I have the f2000 unlocked but dont really wanna use it. Really tempted to give support ago but i really enjoy being a medic and helping those who are more gifted than me

i started as assault and am now playing support all the time. its a fun class. you can still help others through repairs etc.
plus you get RPG. i use these for long shots where my rifle wont go. mines are fun too.... give it a go. get the A91 and own.

That's not Support that you are describing mate - it is engineer. Support has an ammo box and C4. I'd rather play Support
Also, F2000 is ridiculously good. Put a silencer on and its damage is increased

AEK is good for assault, I like to be medic to but Im really more of a support player, Im far to aggressive as assault and often die when I should let others get the kill/revive them
that's what i don't get i'm all for something new if it improves on the experience of the game, but i'm not sure what battlelog brings to bf3
.they worked so hard to get origin going surely they could have built the server side into that ?
