Haven't played BF3 for almost a year but fancy getting back into it.

Does anybody know of a place to get a discount Premium origin code? Cheapest I found is £25!

It's worth it mate, adds so many more elements to the game !

Nice montage mate.

Don't know if you find the same, but heli pilots seem to accept getting shot by tanks without to many hissy fits, but shoot a plane down and its all sorts of 'hax kick him' etc lol

BFBC2 had lots of heli kills with tank so it us perhaps more accepted by people. I think it is harder in BF3 because the maps are bigger. Another thing the tank is awesome for is shooting down the gunship. HMG on tank is pretty effective against aircraft. Most aircraft hit by it panic and start evasive actions quickly. Need to have a look at the canister shell though. That looks brutal on aircraft.

FFS just bought Aftermath expecting to play it for the next 4 hours and I'm faced with a 3.9GB update!! I already did a 3.5GB update this week, did EA stop the "everyone has to download the full game including DLC even if they havent bought it" thing?

Dear EA and Dice. I have ripped the a key out of my keyboard that brings up the console. Yes, right next to number 1 and escape.

Thanks for not making this key adjustable from the options.

I kept hitting this key all the time. It wound me up no end.

 

[JGStonedRaider]

Heard of a mouse wheel? Who actually uses the numbers?

 

[kunoichia]

ehm i use 1,2,3 tbh seems faster to me.

And learn to remap keys or get a proper keyboard where u can disable keys

Im a former WoW addict/raider so im used to using EDSF. qwazxcrtfv12345 and any modifier available ;p.

yet there are still times i plant a RPG into my heli Tank instead of repairing it ;p

ex wower too..

just learn to be able to press keys without looking at ya keyboard lol

i use 1-2 when weapon switching.. but i have med pack/ammo pack/RPG etc bound to X key and revive/repair tool/c4 etc on C key... a lot quicker and easier to press!

use mousewheel takes ya finger away from mouse1.. which can be vital if u need to shoot cause against top players u can be dead in under half a second!

So have I, also Knife button .

 

[delta0]

Wheel click is my knife button.

 

[JGStonedRaider]

HMm like the sound of X as medkit etc, will do that one. Still tho, my 1 - 2 aren't in the best place for using tbh. Will try em tho.

Using the mouse wheel to change weapon is slow and causes finger fatigue when you get older. Yes, I've been gaming for 20 years, and you don't want to use the mouse wheel... take my word for it.

Not to worry.. that key is not going to cause me any more problems. It is sitting near my mouse somewhere.
