Thanx guys......

Shame it's on the last page, as no-one in this thread ever reads what was written on the last page, just the current one

I dunno, it's just how I find the game.

Speaking of which, I think I've abstained long enough.......

Thanks vexd, that was a great post, I feel the same about everything you wrote. I'm still a noob but feel that I've turned a corner with the spotting which you rightly pointed out the importance/fun of eapecially as recon class. I'm glad to see people championing it because it's ineffective and in fact selfish not to spot. If everyone spotted on your team everyone would get a lot more kills and have a much better time

Yeh Recon class is best Hooah

It depends. 60% of the time Assault is best.

[happycorey]

Recon is ONLY good for holding choke points.. There is no other vital part of recon I have found to be that important in BF3

[OLDSKOOLACURA]

great write up. I read the whole thing

Had some good games with VEXD earlier, went well until it crashed in between games and then had numerous connection issues, being put on different teams (the most annoying of many bugs in the game) and then came up against a team of jumpers. They really need to turn the jump button in to an action button only, so you can jump over obstacles and not through mid-air, whilst carrying lots of heavy equipment.

Oh and the MAV, they need to stop that being able to kill people.

Spent a bit of time sniping today. Improving more and more, though struggling at long range. One sniper up on the crane at Sharqi, I couldn't get him from 3-400m.

Finally somebody understands what my name means! Parkour= Using strength and cunning to overcome obstacles, and it's a lot like my actual first name is spelled, and Veyron= The world's fastest production car...so I run you over in a 1000 HP beast.

Anyway, thanks for all the tips guys, especially you VEXD, great write-up, extremely valuable info, it's sigged. I just finished the campaign so I can focus on MP now. One more question: what's the best map to start sniping on?

[VEXD]

Gunda, I missed you again today, sorry about that, I found your invite message about 30 mins after you left it, and you'd gone offline.

We'll have to catch up at the weekend now, as it's back to work tomorrow.....

THANX for all the warm replies people, I really, really appreciate that you've had a read, and most seem to be in agreement.

It makes it all worthwhile when you sit down and type a post like that, that someone comments, so to see so many thanx makes me feel good.



Parker, I'd say Gulf of Oman.

It's close enough, yet open terrain.

Lots of rooftops to hide on, and lots of map movement to pick people off from.

Failing that, I'd say Damavand Peak.
There are some conveyor belts just lined up for snipers to lie on and pick people off with.

These are both on CQ, by the way.

I am still a noob though, so maybe someone like Roush or Toyot could help you out a bit......

Suretbread, I was getting so annoyed with the French at Gulf during that round, as I just wanted to take A, but man were they camping, and spawning, and pwning, and spamming, and being extremely good, and also, jumping around a lot.

Shame everything went arse over afterwards....

I managed one decent game at Metro, before I went to get food and sit down and read all the nice comments people have made......

[OLDSKOOLACURA]

Also nice civic hatch lol

[Monosukoi]

Got this arriving in the next day or two for PS3, can't wait

Quite a noob to MP FPS though so reading VEXD's umm.. novel has helped a bit.

Would you guys recommend starting off with assault class? I've been doing a lot of reading and the medic role sounds up my street, at least until I learn not to die a lot..

[Finduszip]

I tried the Beta... then I went and bought MW3.

The Beta doesn't do the game justice.

Seems you know my real name too. Regarding you map choice, that won't work for me right now, as I don't have BTK. And I can't buy it right now because my PSN funds are low and I have a lot of DLCs in other games to buy, so I have to choose my priorities. *cough* Robin DLC for Batman: Arkham City, and a Rocksmith song or two. *cough*

I'm a noob to BF3, but I've had the most luck with the Assault class so far. (I'm level 3)

Assault is a good start as you unlock med kits and defibrillators first. As long as you play your role (i.e. don't go tank hunting) it's a good start.

Great write up VEXD. If one could sticky posts within threads, I would

No worries mate, probably for the best to be honest as I was having horrid connection issues last night.

Cheers Shaun

Since I'm not going to quote all of VEXD's post,

I should try that more while Sniping next time
I've been using the UMP w/ Recon, just unlocked the Suppressor and the MAV, what the MAV disable when disabling something?
