Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

People die and respawn and get new guns though so that would be pointless

Plus, why are silencers responsible for raping people, it's the guns and the users that do that. Suppressors are largely cosmetic on BF3, a lot of them still show up on the mini map when fired! Whilst still reducing the effective range of the gun

Why oh why do people not squad up?

They changed it so you don't automatically join a squad so 9 out of 10 times people forget to. Ridiculously silly change tbh.

yeah

as is kicking idle players combined with 4 players required to start....

so you join a server... and sit there and wait for others to join, then get kicked for being idle.... genius!!

I know, but after the first death you'd think that people would notice they have no squad mates to spawn on.

Anyone here successfully owning in a jet with a joystick? I tried a cheep one and while back and found it really easy to dogfight but horrible to aim. I've almost unlocked my 5th service star with M+KB but always wonder esp in intense dogfights if I could benefit from a really good joystick??????

The 4 player start is a pain, but the Idle Kick can be turned off on servers.

I wonder how many BF3 gamers that scream about weapon inbalance are actually speaking from real-life experience and/or proper knowledge of said weapon.

I'd say none of them.

I've fired a fair few firearms, and altho they have different handling characteristics and firing rates, they are essentially all the same, a way to fire a bullet.

Bullet damage is based off the round being fired, not the weapon firing it.

It's just the lethality that has been decreased to enable a more fun gameplay experience.

I wouldn't say any gun in this game is "overpowered" just some people find it easier to use certain weapons because of their characteristics.

Nail on the head right there.

For M+KB do you have:

W - Throttle up
A - roll left
S - Throttle down
D - Roll right

Mouse for the little adjustments to help aim?

I can not fly with M+KB but want to get into it, As i get smashed using a 360 controler

Mouse and keyboards pretty easy for flying, you just gotta practise

Clipsey · 29 Nov 2011 at 16:24

Just tried to play, 5 crashes in a row, all within 1min of playing

The next patch can't come soon enough!!!!!!

Agree, but you simply can not consistenly out-turn someone with a pad/keyboard.

Just wondering if anyone using a joystick feels that they can aim more effectively than when using M+KB?
