Battlefield 3

[Patrick]

I run thermal optics (helps you see mines) and guided shell.

I'm guessing your on PC? I'm a console player. Personally i would report him, extremely easy to mod on PC, and 61 kills on caspian isn't believable.... unless he was boosting with another player??

Nope, Im on console. PS3. Don't see how he would've been boosting unless the person whom he was boosting with quit before the game ended. It was unreal, I was going to capture B for the first time that game, and he already had 15 kills. I hadn't even seen anyone to shoot.

Do you guys mix up your tank unlocks depending on map? I always run HMG and thermal optics and usually get caught out by C4 as a result.

I usually always have on; proximity scan, thermal optics, and canister shell. Then when I have a buddy with me he uses proximity scan, zoom optics, and guided shell. I change to reactive armor and I lase helis with the CITV. Though I have noticed the last few times we have done this that the guided shell hasn't been 1HK? He gets a hit marker and I get points for designated target hit, but the helo never dies. This seems to only be after the VOIP patch so Im wondering if it got nerfed. If it has been that is pretty rubbish because a good heli pilot can totally mess up a whole team.

Right first things first, i am an ex-hacker, so only possible boosting way like you said was the other guy left.

So to the hacking, there's no possible way to jailbreak the latest software or the one before that, so this guy has multiple PS3's, he's still running on a really old software which means its possible for him to still hack or mod his stats, giving himself kills, wins, xp, the lot.

Add me if you want, PSN same as username.

This match was the worst today. I ended up #1 on our team, my friend came in third, and the random person we were in a squad with went 0-7. The top two guys on the other team (the ones with the high kill counts) literally spent the duration of the game in the two little birds. I spent half the game trying to shoot them down with stingers. I'm not upset by the enemy pilots, after all they were very good at it. What pissed me off to no end is that NOBODY else on the entire team switched to stinger missiles to help me. When you are facing pilots with flares, who are skilled enough to fly behind obstacles to break your vision, and had passengers healing them one man will never be able to take down a chopper without help.

The game after that was on Metro. Our team was instantly put back two bases to one, which quickly became zero. I couldn't stand it and backed out of the game because they made no attempt to push forward and retake anything. It's people like that that damage others' stats. And for that reason I'm about to stop caring completely and just play the game. I'll still try 100% to win every game, but I won't really care when we lose when my team is full of... challenged people.

 

[ParkourVeyron]

Anybody up for some pwnage?

 

[Pako]

Just got done with a match, guy had 158 kills 8 deaths. No admins online to kick his cheating account off the server. It's amazing how fast one cheater ruins it for the everyone else.

Other than that, had some pretty epic 64 player hardcore maps.

Pretty much always mate.

Thermal optics no matter what map.
Proximity scan most of the time.
Cannister shell for Seine.
LMG for Kharg, Caspian and Firestorm.
Other maps I mix it up depending on what's happening at the time, often I'll change my setup between spawns.

It gets a bit complicated when you have a gunner so I won't list all possible setups for this. One thing though, If on the occasion that it's happened that my two mates from work and I play together we always have the guided shell as we all trust each other as a gunner. When I'm alone or don't know my gunner I find I hard to give up the LMG.

When in a tank by myself I always (time permitting) set the gunners seat to aim directly behind me. Sometimes it can help for those pesky C4/RPG toting guys behind you. If the C4 guy is close, just as I'm sure you all know reverse over him, but if there is a bit of space between you and both pests I find it quicker to just swap position than to try and turn the turret, or reverse where there's a good chance has the time to get out of the way.

Cheers Shaun.

I prefer HMG over LMG against infantry because it kills them so damn fast.

No doubt about that.
For some reason though I get along better with the LMG than the HMG

Cheers Shaun.

Well the way I see it the disadvantage is the HMG fires slower so less room for error if they're trying to hide.

PS: 40pts for all that effort? meh.

I always run Thermal Optics + Auto Loader + Canister.

Reason is that I can shoot without pause with that setting (muscle memory helps with switching between main cannon and canister constantly) and Canister is like one big sniper rifle with almost no bullet drop. So you can basically get headshots with it from almost 200m.

I only take out Canister for Guided Missile if I know that others in my team have unlocked CITV station. Without it, it is way too unreliable.

On interesting guns: MP7 + Extended Mags + Laser (it's a must!). I didn't use it yet, but had a teammate yesterday who was getting headshot after headshot after headshot from hipfiring this bullet spitting beast. Laser makes it literally a laser gun! No bullet spread at all when fired in 5-7 bullets bursts. Just remember to hip fire and not down the sights.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Thanks for the contributions 👍

Tried canister now and wasnt too keen on it, but autoloader might fix that. I don't get why HMG isn't a one shot kill. It usually takes 3 or 4 clean shots to down infantry....which doesn't seem too realistic.

Why don't you ask me at a non-midnight on a school night time?

 

[RizkyBuisness]

What about Jets? Any good pilots out there?

Right here!

 

[ilikewaffles11]

^ I'm a decent pilot. Does anybody know why I haven't gotten the trophy for 10 kills with each Back to Karkand weapon even after getting 10 more kills with the Famas?

 

[RizkyBuisness]

I myself think I'm pretty good in em had a few 16-0 20-0 matches flying around. I like using beam scanning, extinguisher and guided missles.

Extinguisher is good but too easy to die with it on, flares is better but you need to be able to lose someone that's on your tail.

 

[RizkyBuisness]

I love extinguisher even though it takes a bit to reload its very helpful cause It sometimes seems that the flares don't work :/

 

[RizkyBuisness]

But I'm a very good pilot and helo pilot as well I don't gun just fly

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Only jet I can't fly is the F35. It's such a piece of crap! It's really sluggish and can't turn as fast as the SU35 and the guns are harder to aim. Hate it hate it hate it!

 

[Silent7Sniper7]

Biggest mistake I've seen people made with using flares is that they don't fly off, they carry on in the same dissection so the missiles can still get you.

Your suppose to deploy the flares then turn away from them.

I'm ok in helicopter's, air to ground in good, air to air i fail.

Only jet I can't fly is the F35. It's such a piece of crap! It's really sluggish and can't turn as fast as the SU35 and the guns are harder to aim. Hate it hate it hate it!

Yer they kinda rushed that jet, doesn't look as good, fly well etc

I think after you've done it with each weapon you have to get 10 kills in one game with the FAMAS. (I'm not sure though)

HMG is for killing machines. LMG is for killing people.

Pako, were you on Metro conquest aka The Meatgrinder? It's possible for some people to just stand back and M320 constantly to rack up a score like that. 90% chance it's hacks though.

Really? I'll try but I don't think I'll get the trophy, figured it's bugged.

 

[BLITZ_69]

I don't have the trophy either and I guarantee I've gotten over 10 kills with it in one game (even after getting 10 with every other gun).

Currently:
L85A2 - 123 kills
QBB-95 - 103 kills
QBZ-95B - 165 kills
G53 - 89 kills
QBU-88 - 40 kills
MG36 - 17 kills (about to be a lot more)
Famas - 16 kills
PP-19 - 14 kills
MK3A1 - 14 kills
L96 - 163 kills

Yeah, I think it's bugged, too.

When you are facing pilots with flares, who are skilled enough to fly behind obstacles to break your vision, and had passengers healing them one man will never be able to take down a chopper without help.

As an engineer, I feel your pain. I have the same issue sometimes. Most of the time I can take down any helicopter or at least annoy them enough where they stay away. But if there are multiple helicopters with really good pilots, that can be an issue.

This message is for everyone out there. If you are on a team and see a Helicopter or 2 helicopters causing constant problems, you NEED to help take it down. 1 engineer alone cant do everything against 2 helicopters. You dont have to be an engineer to take down the vehicles. You can also use the SOFLAm in the recon class. Engineer has a stinger that locks onto the air vehicles. Recon eventually unlocks the SOFLAM which laser paints the target with a diamond that allows any engineer with any locking rocket launcher to instantly hit that target ANYWHERE on the map. Even if they cant see the target. Sometimes resulting in an instant kill. Or at least an instant disable.

So again please, if you are in a game where vehicles are dominating and you only have 1 engineer, its time to change to a different class to help your team. It doesnt take long at all as an engineer to unlock the Stinger to take down air vehicles. Some people just want to stick to the same class and dont want to take out vehicles. Thats not going to help at all. It also helps to have squad mates that communicate. All it takes is 2 really good engineers or someone in the recon class, to clear out the skies.

Anyone some BF3 now? (PS3) And i hope you have a mic, if anyone even plays.

If your doing conquest and have the CITV for the tank, add me

Thanks for reporting this glitch. The developers are currently aware of this. In the meantime, as users have mentioned in this thread, after you earn all your kills, score 10 in a single round with the famas, you should earn your achievement.
