Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

[Pighardia]

Playing on UKSC#1, Just had some good rounds, didn't do too well on the third one on Firestorm as i just went for tanks and spent most of the round playing hide&seek usually with 2 at once. Has the SMAW been nerfed a bit, i wasn't doing much damage(and half the time no hit reg was appearing).

Every round seems to be the same for me now, i start off crap then go on a streak and end the round quite well.

PS. i much prefer Conquest, always have.

Conquest is fun as long as one squad always keeps capping, I like to cap a hard to hold objective with a squad and hold it, very rewarding as people forget about other flags and keep coming at you.....BRING IT ONNNNN!

It can make for some excellent games if you capture the point closest to the enemies spawn and you get a few teammates defending it.

Finally got round to getting this. Dunno WTF is going on. I need to find some guides for noobs or something.

Join a squad! it's the best piece of advice I can give.

When you join a server, before you deploy, hit the "squad" tab and try and get in a squad with 2 or 3 people already in it. Best bet is if they are engineers, assault or support class - they're more likely to be in the thick of it than snipers (recon).

Then - just stay with the squad stick right with them, run where they run, point the shooty end of your gun in the same vague direction they do.

I try to play Assault class, 'cos I can use defibrilators to keep my squad alive. If they die out in the open, and you can't get to them, the best thing you can do is STAY ALIVE - when they get to re-spawn, they can do it on you. Then you can all charge again

After a while, you'll start to pick up the layout, and the ebb and flow of the maps. You'll start to understand where the bad guys might come from, and you'll start to get more confident with the maps - pitfalls, obvious sniper points etc.


Hope this helps and apologies if I'm telling you what you already know

Pb will still detect things such as overlays from known programs & allow them to run, but every now & then it has a hissy-fit & kicks people for things.

Every known hacker I see mentioned gets their moniker added to my local ban list.

Oh and Imnotsureru has linked GUID's that have been globally banned already by Evenbalance.
Seems his alias, SUPERSTOOP got a ban about 3 weeks ago.

I prefer being in a squad, you are safer as well because you can watch the others back while they watch yours

 

[Angst]

Just been on smogsys server, every kill was by fekin irnv, i really cant wait till update tomorrow.

 

[Tombo]

Then every kill will be by fekin red dot or acog or something else and you'll still be dying

This tbh

People will still be using the IRNV post Nerf. It won't solve your problem, which appears to be that you object to people using it. You make no mention of whether people were hidden in bushes or some other situation they wouldn't normally see you in

grand bazaar is like that, with everyone fighting over point B (in the alley) and then leaving their other flags defenceless

All with assault class getting revive after revive, i always avoid B on bazaar when i can. I spawn back to uncap if i am given a choice of B or home base.

Whats the matter with Conquest?

Conquest is the only mode i search for, stay away from the mess of 64 player servers, might hang around if a certain map is used for something other than conquest, rush on metro, no thanks, done my head in on beta.

Caspian has both mobile AA and static AA. Either would have ruined his day. Why did you not get in one and tear him a new one with it ?

Normal conquest only has stationary AA and i was on this base raping knob head's team. Told him to stop but he just ignored me, like i thought he would.
Fast vehicle spawn was running on that server so all he had to do was line up another run and kill them before they got 50 metres down the runway. Same with the chopper.
Normally fast vehicle spawn means that the jets can only ever worry about the other aircraft in the sky, no time for strafing runs on ground targets, do that and before you know it, you have a jet on your tail.
Stationary AA has been nerfed since the patch and is no longer as effective as it was pre-patch. Cant comment on mobile AA as i have never used it. Dont play large CQ so i never see it. You cant rely on stationary AA on its own.

Games playign liek **** on my rig that should slaughter the game

What AMD drivers are people using ? i might go back to some previous.. im currently on latest 11.11a i think they are?

 

[V_R]

Get a real interwebs!





On a serious note if we're doing BF3 team games, I'd be interested.. I'd need to know times.. add me on origin: ToejaMz0r or steam: [email protected]

I'll see your 20ms and raise you this...

Whats the matter with Conquest?

team dm is great for a 30min blast, and rush is my game of choice, conquest can be ok, but sometimes you spend ages getting to a flag and then die, i seem to do a lot of travelling when i play, granted i have had great games where both teams after fighting for one or two flags but more often than not its *** for tat

 

[ak22]

What does this error message mean? : Game disconnected: game session on server was removed.

I was on 1k ticket server right at the end me and mate get the message and get disconnected

Why do people hate normal game mode and say hardcore is better ? i play both as i play what ever my clan makes us join, the only differance it seems to be for me is people who have bad accuracy play hardcore because they don't have the accuracy to kill in normal or "softcore" as most people put it.
So what are your reasons? No trolling intended just trying to find out peoples opinions on both.

I enjoy them both I think people prefer Hardcore over normal as its more realistic:

Less bullets to kill some one

No 3D spotting

More slower tactical based game play

 

[setter]

Concerning hc vs sc, i personally find hc a bit easier for racking up kills, flip side being youll die a lot more, (though tbf, i die a lot in either mode). Normal requires a bit more concentration when it comes to making shots count.

 

[ZG002]

SC just does my head in, You pump someone full of lead they should go down not keep coming at you. I think more realistic is kinda the main reason and actually being able to hide from people and tanks as there is no 3d spot.

 

[Fr0dders]

Thing is I like 3D spotting. It punishes those who hang about in the open and rewards team work by making it easier to point out enemies to your team.

And I never get frustrated with the lack of stopping power in SP weapons.

This, This again and This once more.
