Poll: ***The Official Battlefield 3 Thread***
- Thread starter G-MAN2004
- Start date
Should hear something by the end of this week I believe.
How do I attach my cod eto my origin ID?
- Made an account on battlelog.battlefield.com
- I've gone into BF3, 2.07gb patch downloading in the background.
- redeemed my code and downloaded the online pass
at no point did it ask me to login to my origin details, so the online pass is no way attached to my profile, and no option to 'attach' my gamertag in the origin when logging into the site.
Oh the woes of being a newbie to battlefield
p.s. this patch is taking YONKS!
Hope you enjoyed our games tonight. Was good to have a full squad of us
in our squad of 4 we had 3 of us wielding USAS12s with frag rounds tonight. With squad ammo, squad suppress and squad flak on to protect us from any splash damage. On metro it was hilarious fun
every other map we'll use proper guns and play the game properly, but theres something so comedy about metro that means that the USAS 12 needs to come out
I'm utterly sick of being put on teams full of completely useless players. Every time I play it's just my squad capturing flags with the rest of our team doing nothing at all 
We must have joined 4 or 5 games last night where were losing horribly. We stayed in in the hope that we'd be able to win next game but always end up losing. One game i'm pretty sure somebody was boosting with a friend as he'd get in a chopper and just sit there not moving til it got blown up

I was playing last night, and every server I joined was like this, enemy took all objectives and there was 2-3 of us trying to capture them back - didn't have a chance.

Sure did mate, was 10 fold more enjoyable playing with people in a party!!
I'll be on later if anyone is up for some games. Those not on my friends list who play regularly please add me
The only things that I've come across that annoyed me was;
- muppets in tanks running their own team over
- people have 'ammo' crates for a reason, even when people request them they just run past blissfully unaware (this only happened when I was going solo)
- when I spawn on a squad member and get downed within a second of spawning

Friendly fire isn't on?
Yeah, you'll learn to live with that unless playing with friends
. Worse than that is being surrounded by engineers in a tank and nobody repairing you.- when I spawn on a squad member and get downed within a second of spawning
You get shown a camera view of spawn points when you select them, so just select someone for 2/3 seconds and make sure they're not taking any obvious heat before spawning on them.

The actual mortar counts as a vehicle as well for once you've got the easy kill of the user.

Cheers mate.
As for the friendly fire, it wasn't on, but I can promise that a tank on our own team at the start of the round (I had a moan to MrLOL about when it happened!) decided to drive clean into my nooby self, turning me into tarmac!

Even with friendly fire off, tanks can kill. Usually they just bump people out of the way, even with a head on hit. But I have noticed that at full speed, they can indeed kill their own team.
It's a strange one! I'm not sure if it's a bug or what?
EDIT: Can be done in a with a jeep too! Although, when I see a tank do it, the driver stays in.

Good to know, cheers, will be hunting out mortars and tugs soon then

Usually wise to watch the 3rd person cam of your team mate for a few seconds and check if they are under fire or not before spawning.
Anyone else on PS3 having trouble finding servers? Earlier for me it was only showing 4-5 servers with any actual players on, the other 120-odd were all empty and even if I tried to join, it'd say the host could not be found.
Utterly ridiculous, this game is still riddled with stupid problems.
