i was 25-5 and i had that Orange Triangle thingy.

And i got raped by a level 1 because i couldn't move or kill anyone :grumpy:
 
Oh now that sucks. Sometimes, when I join people who are already in matches, ill be stuck at a screen that's damn near completely black, but has that loading screen at the bottom right corner.
 
I usually get that orange triangle immediately after spawning. Never happens any other time. Then some low level goes out of his way to kill me.

It's more of a "our server has goofed up and you're the recipient of the problem" instead of an actual disconnect.

I've got to say, the servers have been lousy about 90% of the time lately.

Talking about the connection issues triangle? If yes, I have only seen that once. It was right after a maintenance period. Honestly it scared me for a second. I thought I was playing COD for a second, but then I noticed bullet drop, and that was a relief that i was still playing BF where bullet drop exists
 
I get that disconnect thing a lot, it used to be much worse than it is now though. It was infuriating because it would usually strike when I had that rare transport chopper full of people and I'd have to frantically tell them to bail out via text chat... But as I didn't have enough time to explain, they took no notice. Suiciding didn't even work most of the time, nor did admin slay commands. Weird and annoying.

Though if you're holding a bolt action rifle when it happens you can hold the fire button down to experience a fully automatic L96 or whatever.

That happened to me the other night as I was holding a Spas-12.

Too bad the bullets don't actually enter the world.

dice is currently working on this.. something happened.. you can read about it on battle log
 
I've only encountered that symbol once, and weird 🤬 happened. It was a Bazaar TDM match, and like another guy said, I had just spawned. When it first started, everybody else on screen stopped moving and became invincible.
Then it got even weirder. I tried to shoot someone with my L96, and the thing glitches and started firing FULL AUTO. Yes, a bolt action sniper rifle. Oddly enough, it fired at the rate of like an AK-74m or something. It didn't go BANG BANG BANG, like an auto shotgun, but rather like BANGBANGBANGBANGBANG like an assault rifle. The mag count never went down, and only when I stopped firing would my soldier pull back the bolt. Whenever it fired, you would experience the same recoil you would firing it normally, so the crosshairs bounced all over the screen. I pulled out my 93R, and when I fired that, the bursts would fire ludicrously fast, to the point it was fully automatic as well. It was crazy. I ended up disconnecting from the server, so my Internet might've been to blame. I know it sounds unbelievable, but I'm serious.

We believe you... I had that happen to me when my internet connection fluctuates. I'll tell you one good thing that came out of this Orange Triangle Menace; I experienced a full auto tank!! I was destroying EVERYTHING in the map (Op. Firestorm)!!! Too bad it was visible/ happening on my screen only :(

I'm not very good with a tank, jet, chopper, or sniper rifle.

I'm just good for running around and distracting people. Lol.

Hahahaha. Yeah I am good in tanks. Like i said before I hate guided shells (aka I can't aim shells). I take tanks seriously. That's about the only thing I take serious in BF3 though

Well, in a room with D.Hundley and GTPorsche last night and I kept getting killed by a damn chopper, so I finally put one into a shallow grave.

I like how it happened though, as I shot the chopper for the second time, the pilot jumped out, and when he landed, the heli blew up, skidded, and ran him over.

Roadkill! Lol

Edit: I'm still half sleep. Added tank, meant chopper.. my bad.

Good games last night guys. It's a shame the rest of our team was sub-par. We had them on lockdown on defense, until I ended up getting killed and it allowed them to get to the boxes.

I think I RPG'd two choppers out of the sky last night as well.

We was putting some serious work in. Well, I know I was with all the suppressive fire I was laying down. Lol.

I'm still upset my internet decided to crap out when it did. Didn't feel like restoring itself til early this morning.
 
Yea pretty much all the games this past week have been great some of the rush matches were epic. Ill be on shortly if any of you will be. Does anyone know if the double xp is working I saw something on YouTube that said they postponed it, but I wasn't sure if it was just for pc though.

That's three crossbowed helicopters to my name now.
I've gotta get a jet now.

I'm gonna play Dead or Alive 5 for a bit and then hop on. I don't know about the double do, though. Also, you're from AR too? I'm in Pine Bluff, for now.

It's postponed due to the server issues they had to deal with. They haven't announced a date for it yet.
 
Figures.. Hopefully they'll fix they lost connection to server issue it has been happening 2-5 times a day for me. Yep I'm from Jonesboro.
 
gogatrs
4 times in a row I get disconnected from the same match!!!
This is ridiculous!

I keep getting stuck at the loading screen, and it never goes away. My system has to do a hard reset when I tell it to quit the game.

Added: Now I can't get into a match anymore. Argh.
