What has happened to Squads? and Party joins as a Squad?

Im joining 64 man servers now where 20+ on each team are not squaded.
Me and my mates cannot Join as a squad party in the browser.

This is complete Bs... It is killing the game for me..

its a bug right ?

They took out auto squad joining over 2 weeks ago.

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

That's partially true

But main reasons have already been explained

And how is it?

I prefer it tbh, It can at the odd time get a hint of RB but its rare and tiny when it happens, and its worth it simply to get rid of the annoying "insta death" which it very much seems to have done.

In other news, MP7 :O

the reg is a complete joke now! only thing ive ever had bad to say about this game! no matter what u do with the slider thingy.

also when 1v1 with a attack heli from distance how come he can lock on to me but i cant lock on to him so annoying! and no he doesnt use the ECM jammer!

Last Kronin · 8 Dec 2011 at 16:17

They seem to have naffed up the barrage rockets on the attack helis they dont fire where the crosshairs are but a few inches below, which can be annoying when trying to take out mobile AA :mad:

I had that all last night, thought I had bad aim. Maybe they're trying to simulate the position of the rockets position relative to the crosshair.. either way, its a pain in the backside.

Sussed out why my game was running horrible after the last patch,no v sync! enabled vsync and now feels much better/less choppy and seems to reduce the benny hill effects on kill cam also

Oh and on a different note does everyone else spawn facing the floor? Its not so bad if you spawn away from the enemy but frustrating if you spawn next to an enemy and your instantly killed without seeing wth is going on

Where is this slider located btw?

Can someone also explain to me how does advanced filter settings work?

There are two headings underneath advanced filter settings: 1)game settings 2) player settings

I kinda understand game settings where you can tick those options which you want in the game such as 3d spotting, killcam etc.

However I am totally lost on player settings. E.g Health 1 - 100% but I can type in 150% :confused:

Never spawned facing the floor, no :confused:

. It do it all the time? Although my gun randomly fires a bullet now and again when people are connecting, which is weird.

Rojin · 8 Dec 2011 at 16:39

I'm not the best player but I work hard to support the squad\team, add me for some teamplay. I've heard of this mythical teamplay, it's out there in BF3 somewhere... the quest begins... (Origin: RojinUK)
