m and k is ok for jets

for helis i use my 360 pad

I quite like the M&K, I've never had any hassle with it. Can't see the point in buying a pad when I'm doing fine without it.

Like I said, each to their own.

Wake Island <3

It's like BF2 all over again!

I'd happily pay for the rest of the BF2 maps to be re-done.

Anyone elses game not running aswell as before the patch?

compboyo · 14 Dec 2011 at 21:18

when you quit a game before its finished does it save your points and level ups?

Absolutely.

Managed to get it working (post patch) for the first time tonight, well worth the wait.

Its still got that "BF2 large map feel" and finally you can sneak around wake without being picked off - too easily - indeed, I'd pay for the rest - Dragon Valley - please! :cool:

I love them all apart from Wake Island which bizarrely was the one i was most looking forward to and probably the one i have played the most.

My god, the B2K maps have turned the game into " who can rpg troops the most. "
This is not how it was meant to turn out.

The choppers need nerfing on Wake island :/

Whats going on with the lock on system with rocket launchers these days....takes bloody forever to lock on!

BF3 for me has just became frustrating...Played about 20-30 mins of singleplayer and just could not be bothred with the rest....i think my pc gaming days are near the end.

Pighardia · 14 Dec 2011 at 21:36

btw, are mines showing up on enemy radar now? I have seen a few in my last few games, is it intentional or a bug?

(this is going to halve my already poor kill count)

u just cant go in and play a normal game without running into a problem or an error

yeah mines show up on my radar.

I'm getting a lot of graphics lag on these B2K maps....

compboyo · 14 Dec 2011 at 21:47

im new to this, i have the stinger which i find will only fire at jets/heli's also everyone seems to have counterflares when i try to take them down

do these flares need to be unlocked as i find the control for it dosn't seem to work?

Heatseekers dont do tanks?

They need unlocked, it's quite early but I can't remember how early.

anyone got the latest link to the russian bf3 to english files

jaws104 · 14 Dec 2011 at 22:02

guided missles lock ground vehicl
guided rocket increases the accuracy of your dumbfire missles.
Heat seekers lock aircraft

if you are a lone engineer with stinger you can't take down a chopper unless he's terrible. Lock him up and wait. If someone else fires at him and he flares wait a couple of seconds then launch it

Neil79 · 14 Dec 2011 at 22:09

Game has almost become unplayable with a 27ping!, Shot both tanks with a jav and not one hit marker. Both times the rocket hit their target and both tanks health = 100%

WingZero30 · 14 Dec 2011 at 22:14

Is it better to use javelin than rpg against tanks now? I have been reading that javelin has been buffed.

Also can javelin be resupplied with support's ammo crate?
