Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

This was exactly why it needed the nerf, it felt at a disadvantage if you didn't have it equipped.

I tried it a few times before but using it just felt cheap and it meant I missed out on all the pretty graphics when I blasted people.

It's funny how many people suck now tho

This is one of the main reason why I have stopped using IRNV.

Imo even with holo attachment, enemy soldiers can be tracked easily provided you take the time to carefully scan your environment plus graphics aren't compromised.

If IRNV gets further nerfed later on, those people who have come to take it for granted will have a pretty hard time sussing out the enemy infantry and shooting at them as their eyes have become so used to seeing green tunnel vision.

Plus imo IRNV encourages more 'improving K/D mindset' than playing the objectives. The latter requires careful planning, approaching tactics and disabling enemy targets in several ways whereas the former just makes it much more easy to spot enemies ignoring any skillset required to takedown the enemies and not making use of terrain much. This way you don't get the fulfillment and satisfaction.

Does reactive armour stop C4 doing much damage?

Ran up to a tank last night, planted 3/4 C4s ran away pulled the trig.....heard the boom but no damage....

So restocked did another 3....pulled the trig....nothing!

Just found this regarding it:

Reactive Armor is a specialization for tanks and other ground vehicles. When equipped on tanks, three panel icons appear on the sides and rear of the tank icon, representing additional protection from certain weaponry, however it will not protect the front of the vehicle. If a panel is struck, it is sacrificed to negate damage inflicted on the vehicle itself. Like other specializations, it is only active if the driver has selected this gadget and once it's destroyed, it takes time to recharge/reactivate the gadget.

An engineer can repair this armor, which only takes a few seconds. However, the tank must be at 100% health in order to repair reactive armor.

must have been that, I C4d the side and then the back, maybe if I had gone for the side again It would have blown up lol

I dunno dude, to me it seems like you have stopped using it because it has been nerfed?

yeah sorry about that - I actually got kicked in the end which was fair enough! it started off from playing rush rounds and 3/4 of our team not being in squads, so we didnt have a chance, id sneak my way upto the mcom (alone) plant it, get killed by the entire other team, and then go to repawn and find my squad running around in our base, I think it was maybe three times in a row this happened on one rush stage

I thought the rudey words might catch peoples eyes on the chat and so remind them to squad up but I guess not! in the end I turned off my pc and went to calm down aha
amusingly I was kicked for typing "lol knived you" on the chat rather than swearing

added with the extra bonus of my connection getting laggier by the minuite for maximum frustration
anyone tried to use the lag slider thing ? I couldnt find a sweet spot at all, although suspect some bad adsl lag on my line last night didnt help, all I could switch between was people warping about in front of me or getting 1 shotted / sinking entire magazines of bullits into people without them taking much damage

were you really kicked, no one said anything. We were lolling at you raging tbh. You should hop into TS if you cba and abuse us properly.

Ive got my interpolation slider at zero btw

I wouldn't mind a horn for the tank, the amount of jeeps just driving straight under my tank tracks is unbelivable.

this tbh, EA released this game at the worst possible time, they care very little for longevity of the game they were all about getting units out before MW3 hit.Only problem with that is that MW3 did hit and most flocked to that and then Skyrim hit and even more people flocked to that and then KOTR will hit and even more will drop to that....

Yeh theres B2K and it may bring people back but i doubt for long given a week later KOTR hits.

would be interesting to see the stats to see num players on bf2 bc2 and bf3.

You've made your points over and over again, fancy just givingup!

I'm loving this game tbh, the competitive scene is going strong and we're getting plenty of mixes each night!

B2k looks great and genuinely cant wait to spend Christmas caining it!!!

P.S on another note I won a RT comp on twitter and won DLC for BF3 ps3!!!

Meh, there seems to be some issue running people now. Me and Ballistix last night drove round a corner and hit 3 enemy crossing the road in a bunch.

I was driving flat out and Ballistix agreed that all 3 were hit did centre of the jeep yet we didn;t get one roadkill

I suspect that vehicles don't have the same interpolation as bullets.

Yeah I think I've come across similar issues, I've just driven straight through people and nothing happened...

Also, when you ask a friendly vehicle for a pickup, I think the driver should get a big notification on their screen/minimap to let them know someone wants a lift. I always glance at the map to see if anyone is nearby before I speed off, but it would be a handy feature.

As for the swearing in games - why is this is an issue? This is a game which invovles shooting people with high powered weapons, running them down with jeeps, all manner of violence and where the characters themselves regularly shout obscenities ("Grenade mother*******!" ), yet some server admins go mad if you so much as utter a swearword.

I am a BF3 fan here just picking up on one of your points

Competitive Scene going strong: How is that 'really' possible when the game really does lack competitive support... No spectator mode, no tournament mode etc etc

I guess it depends on what we call going strong ?

I played on UKCS server last night, I don't normally play softcore, but I thought I'd give it a try......yuck... I hate softcore..

Gameplay was ok, few people moaning about me stabbing them, and silentbob threatening to treat me like a Liverpool whore ? lolz. I did get him whilst he was camping as a sniper..hehe.

You got my tags from memory last night.

And I didn't moan, just hate losing my tags
