Some great fun tonight in the tank and IFV with VEXD and his boss. 3 in a tank, with one repairing if necessary is almost unstoppable. Had a very frustrating game at Seine, with us 3 running around taking objectives and the rest of the team not doing so.

Though credit to the other team, they were good opponents all night.

Who needs guns!

That round in particular was quite hard, about 8 easy kills taking down the little birds, but the infantry around us were quite intent on C4/RPG and VEXD was doing very well, lots of cover in that map, particularly around Containers and the other base on that "level" of the map.

41 kills at Seine. 👍 I'm at 15-20 on an outstanding day :indiff:.

I had 2 bars on all servers yesterday, but foolishly stilled joined in hollidog as he left his room.

The only highlight was shooting down a Russian chopper at Firestorm with the USAS. He had killed my tank and almost me near B, so I hid out near the windows in building hugging B. He then saw a tank new C, and decided to hover at distance and hose away. Unfortunately, he hovered about 15 feet above my window. Must have been a nasty shock :D.
 
Now I'm starting to get sick of playing with randoms.
Joined eight different matches, some rush some conquest. Could not come even close to winning on any of them.
And I was having a good night kills wise. Please, PTFO!!!!!
 
Hey man, earlier today I was playing with a friend of mine who has a 4.xx W/L and we couldn't even ail out some of the teams we landed on. After that we just went into TDM where we knew we wouldn't have to rely on others to win. And you know what? The two of us topped the board for the win.

What makes up for this tenfold is a random with awesome teamwork. There are times when you're squadded up with a random without a mic, yet both of you PTO so well your communication is almost telepathic. I'll take a game I've already talked about on here:
We're in a heli.
He tries (and fails) to hovercap the Hilltop.
I jump out and get killed by a lone enemy, I re-spawn in the heli.
I jump out again and kill the lone enemy. I capture flag.

The whole time my squadmate's hovering around, killing when necessary.

All without a mic 👍 That's worth over 10 crap games in a row.

True. I've actually had a couple good mic games lately too with randoms. Nobody here seems to play at the times I do.... I'm usually on at midnight to 2 am ish most nights and everyone in North America is in bed and that's very early in the morning for the European guys.

I played last night with two random low level guys who had just bought the game and I was teaching them about each map we went to. We ended up winning 4 of 6 rush matches we played together and had a good time. I had followers the whole map and we had 2 assault and support going all the time so we never really lost the whole squad at once.

I also had a game where I was matched up with 3 French guys. I took French in school from grade 5 to 11 and know the grand total of about 126 "words"... 100 of those being numbers 1 to 100, the other 26 the alphabet :lol: but one of them knew some English. I generally understood when one of them yelled A! followed by something else that meant go to A and we had a good time together.

There must be a massive wave of new players too because balance is screwed up again. Huge teams of high level squads against me and level 10 and below...

Hmm, matter of fact that just happened to me an hour or so ago. Not so much mismatched but alot of lower ranked guys.
I got home from work to find a note from the wife saying she and the kids would be home in about an hour. A quick scan of the house and there is nothing to be done, bingo my lucky night I think. A couple of rounds of BF3 are for the taking.

Anyway I manage to squeeze in three rounds with some randoms, the games where ok, not great but not bad. It did however produce my BF3 moment to date.
At Kharg I'm running from the office to Gas Station along the beach, I spot an enemy on the map coming the other way so sneak around behind some rocks to follow him.
He stabs a guy from our team (I didn't even know was there) and when I'm just about to shoot him from behind he starts to T-Bag my fallen comrade. As he's T-Bagging him I think stuff you mate and stab him instead (your tags are mine). Would have made for a good kill cam for my fallen buddy I think. :lol:

Cheers Shaun.
 
Someone with good eyesight should be able to pick out the new weapons from the killfeeds in those clips...
 
That trailer looks pretty epic... I think I might like this CQC stuff. :)
 
Ddrizle
Nice DICE....now, about that patch....

Good looking trailer. A lot of people on Battlelog are complaining it looks like COD but the only thing COD like is the size of the map, gameplay is still very much unique.

I do agree ddrizle that they need that patch to come out now. I'm sick of being killed by MAVs...

Looks great, I'm excited that they're making a DLC that focuses on infantry combat instead of getting annihilated by a tank whenever I'm not running engineer. I hope that the new weapons don't need to be unlocked via assignments though, I got really sick of Battlefield 3 while going for the 'Scarred Veteran' one.

Had a classic BF3 moment the other day on Tehran Highway, Was getting baseraped as the team that spawns closest to A (I forget team spawn ends) and Im in the LAV trying to take back A with a squadfull of people and two randoms, and our tank that is above us on the hill, the placed that we had just escaped to to get away from the enemy tank, gets jacked by the enemy, so we are bookended by tanks. I put it in reverse and slam down L3, rolling down the hill at 63Km/H, vaporize a Vodnik which launches us at the enemy tank, which we proceed to leap over, one of the randoms and a pessimistic squadmate bail out, and we are left barrel tolling torpedo style down the street. LAV ends up on all fours thanks to some generous recovery physics. And we take off down to C, and turn the baserape around. Think we still lost in the end though. :ouch:

Was hilarious to hear the whole thing over the mics as well, everyone in there like "Hoooooly 🤬", followed by an "Are we alive?".
 
Official DLC trailer in HD quality:




Looks very good, only concern is that it only shows TDM game mode, but I would be really surprised (and disappointed) if there was no rush or conquest game modes available there.

EDIT:

New DLC guns that can be found in trailer:

ACW-R
AUG (nice!!!)
SPAS-12
MTAR-21
L86A1
LSAT
SCAR-L

^ Agreed, no CQ of Rush would be a major bummer.... I also hope it doesnt turn into a Shotgun fest either... :p
 
Checking out bf3stats and I'm in the top 2% with the g53. Pretty surprised with that. But when I click the link to find my spot on the leaderboard I cannot. Hmmmmm

There will be assignments again.

The AUG is coming back!!! Yay!
 
I'm not overly concerned with assignments. I have a couple left to finish up but the ones I have done have come naturally during regular gameplay.
I need 8 more kills with the btr90 for the scarred veteran. What map/mode do I find it in.?

Only assignment I will have to consciously try to achieve is the 5 sqdm one, but I also need the 20 kills with underslung grenade launchers aswell

I really, really hated doing those... Never touched that game mode again after that... :p
 
Yeah, from what I've read on here everyone hates it. I hated it on bc2 and can't see liking it here.

We're calling it vertical metro in the PC community.. hahaha . It will most definitely be a shotgun & rocket fest.
Conquest on those will probably favor 1 side just like metro as well.

Outstanding. Some things (a very few) are more important than PTFO. Punishing unprovoked teabagging is one.

SQDM is a pain. I lucked out and got 3 of my 5 wins for the assignment in one sitting, all in a row playing in a squad with three other randoms. Other squads in the match sucked worse, I suppose. My w/l for SQDM is around a 0.30 which is actually not bad considering you should on a random basis lose three of every four such matches.

Don't hold me to it but I think on Battlelog I read that it's 16 players max and no objective based games.
 
I hope so.

I bought Battlefield 3.
I didn't buy Battleapartmentblock 3.

I doubt I will even bother purchasing the DLC.

Each to their own and all that.

:irked:👍

Ah man. If they make the new weapons as good as the Karkand weapons I can't complain though. I just hope they don't do something as annoying as destroying a vehicle with the repair tool.
