Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

The map isnt very accurare regarding placement of enemy players who have been spotted by your team. When you round a corner and get killed, this is because the player who killed you wasnt spotted.

This is the other problem I've came across that bugs me. I've seen players appear on the map and as I get close to them, the orange triangle just vanishes. The same goes for when I've spotted someone. I've chased people through the woods/rocks and while they were shown on the road, soon as they went on the grass they had vanished off the map while I was still chasing them.

I've been killed too many times for silly things like this that I did not know. Solely been relying on the mini map until they were close enough. I'd then scan normally. Even when enlarging the map. Sometimes they were too far away and went another route. By that time I lost track of them but they got me. Yet they still didn't show up. It's sporadic.

Sometimes looking at the mini map with 38 players plus, I could have sworn I was playing on an empty server at times.

When a player spots an enemy, the red triangle stays on them until they go into cover/out of line of sight.

I never really look at my mini map, always forget it's there.

So it's only useful if your teammates spot them but they don't show up when you spot them? even though you're chasing them while they're on your screen but not the map.

I look at the mini map more then the rest of the screen!

but the ps3 gets content week early. so two maybe 3 weeks min.

But it's a patch not new content, so should be simultaneous rright?

Depends what mode you're playing, i'm on Hardcore, so spotting doesn't light people up on the map, but i always flick between different views on the minimap [press m and then press n and the map views change] so i can get a larger view of what's happening elsewhere on the map.

I’m really really enjoying this game again, I found fun things to do which keep me coming back few of them are:

• Working thro my medals
• Team work with the clan mates
• No scope sniping with side arm of 44.m
• Shotgun only servers
• Pistol only servers
• Learning the vehicles on Gulf of Omen
• Long distance sniping

Some whoreish stuff i know... but still!

I'm still using the starter weapons as i want to unlock everything for every weapon until a new game replaces Battlefield: 3, but i love the M27 IAR.

Mini Map is an essential part of the game. If your not using it, you expose yourself to danger (as opposed to people in the street) and miss out on shed loads of kills.

It's all you need playing Damavand with proxy on.

Man i love 48 player Conquest on Hardcore mode.
