Battlefield 3

[Roush_fan_99]

Guys can you answer this for me, I dont think it deserves another thread. Im 4 points away from heatseakers for my jet, and since then i have disabled 3-4 vehicles since then, and got a couple kills, but none of these have unlocked the heatseakers, but instead the points go to the kit that I have equipped at the time. I play on ps3, anyone know why?

You were flying the A-10 weren't you? It's a glitch, if you want jet points play conquest or fly the SU-25 every other match. I unlocked the 240B with an A-10.

3-4 disables and a couple kills... in one match or a series? It sounds like you're doin pretty good with the machine gun (to be honest, it's probably better than heat seekers since everyone has flares now)

Thanks very much, hopefully they will patch it soon.

Hopefully, it's been awhile since an update

I haven't played any BF3 for a few months and put it in the other day to discover there was a 3 hour update. I did the update and tried to play some loast night and have a problem. My GPUs are 2 GTX 570s, and before when I played they would both work the same amount to run the game. ex. at anytime looking at the gpu usaage in msi afterburner they would be the same. With vsync if one was working 47% so was the other, if I didn't use vsync they would both run 99% all the time. Now card one is running 99% but card 2 isn't going over 9 %. I also updated to the newest nvidia drivers right before I started. I checked start craft 2 and it is still using both cards the same. Then I went back and checked skyrum and witcher 2 and they are both doin the same thing BF3 is, only using the first card at 99% and the other one never goes over 9%. Has anyone else ran into this problem sicne going to nvidia's newest divers?

This. Suppressor is supposed to decrease accurate, I find it enhanced it on my A-91 and FAMAS. I used to have a heavy barrel on the FAMAS but it had more kick then the Suppressor, which is inverse logic. Other then that, I alway have a Foregrip if there is an option for it.

I think in the next update, DICE will be nerfing things like this and making flash suppressors etc actually decrease accuracy like they ought to.

Also, got my 'enemy vehicle kill' just now - was running around Kharg when I spotted an enemy spawn beacon. Suicided, came back, done 👍. Not sure why I bothered though, it's not like I'll give up the A-91 .

Had a few nice rounds beating up some noobs this morning. I'm starting to really like Metro when running with a semi-competent team.

Ooh, is that the kill an enemy vehicle with repair torch assignment? I was think about that before.

Went through the co-op with VEXD last night. Good fun, my heli flying is still pure hilarity (VEXD's gunnering is just as bad!) but we failed on the last mission. I've found what went wrong VEXD, I failed a button press sequence according to the internet, so what happens is whoever opens the door has to press the right sequence (which is just x, apparently) with the buttons and then the other has to shoot the guy. This is probably why you couldn't reload, change gun, etc.

I think i use the Legacy Controls for flying helis and planes. the default heli controls are awful and when i switched controls it made a huge difference.

As I mentioned in VEXD's compilation of aircraft strategies that's on about 10 pages, a ways back

But very very true nonetheless

I've changed my flying controls to Southpaw because its more like driving a car (pitch is in the left stick).

 

[BLITZ_69]

First thing I did when I got the game was adjust some settings, one of which was change the controls for flying planes and choppers. I *think it was Southpaw that I am on now, whichever one flips the left and right stick controls. That way it feels more like Ace Combat controls.

 

[Antonisbob]

Yea..
PS3, Rush, Kharg Island, we where attacking.

 

[The Bman]

Holy crap man, how did you get so many kills!?

The other team was pretty bad, being a good piloting/gunner helps though.

I enjoy attacking more simply because the defenders can be killed unlimited times.

 

[Smilenator]

All of the top three had loads of kills.
The other team must have been real bad.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Ay. Should also work on a UGS thingy. I was also wondering if it would work on a landmine....but I don't need to try now

 

[VEXD]

Thanx for the info Shaun. 👍

I see Sureshot, so what you're saying is, we should have been able to shoot the HVT, if you'd pressed X?

Ah well, I spose we'll have to get it right another time.
My neighbour came round, and we ended up talking transformers, cars, bikes, movies and then got some food and sat down and watched a film, so I haven't had chance to pop in to get the co-op done.
One night this week when I get home though, we can press that X.

Your flying sux.
My Gunnering is awesome when the pilot is pointing the heli roughly where the targets are, but your flying sux.
It's very hard to take out the first mortar guy when you have to tilt your head sideways to see the screen properly, and all of that could have been avoided if your piloting didn't suck.
Your flying sux.

Co-op was fun though, I really enjoyed it, and wish that we did manage to get some form of team together sometimes to really own online.
The mic is charged 👍

Why don't we organise some sort of practice session with Mike and Shaun and Dzidza and Blitz at some point......
I reckon if we tried hard enough, we could all be online at about 10am GMT on a sunday.
Then we could get some strategy organised and some roles being stuck to, and some proper noob killing would commence....

It's an idea, right?

As long as you don't need me to shoot anything, or anybody, and as long as we don't let Chef in any helicopters... as his flying..... well.....

👍

The annoying thing with that post is you haven't still gotten over just how bad my flying is! Try switching the button layout, but doubt it'll change much.

Urgh, Operation Metro really needs to not exist. Control B (Conquest) and you've won the round. Close quarters really doesn't work with BF3, Kharg Island, Operation Firestorm, etc, all work so much better.

 

[Time_Attack]

I like op metro a lot. Its very possible to loose B flag if the other team knows what they're doing. I've been in games where I spawned Russian and we capped B but couldn't hold it for one reason or another. Granted if your team is pretty good it can be a challenge but honestly I still seek out metro games when I'm online.

I disagree.. There needs to be more maps catered to infantry based fighting like Arica Harbor. Metro isn't very well set up, so it's easy to hold the bases quite easily, but it's also kind of easy to flank with the proper use of smoke, if the opposite team isn't THAT good but your team is struggling

I'd be interested. A bit earlier (hour or two) would be better, as some of us live in the future and monday morning is work.

Depends which team you deploy with (US vs RU). If you lose B as RU, you've got trouble as you only have one route to assault. But RU starts closer to B, should should never not capture it first. That only happens when every chump deploying stands at A trying to collect 250points instead of charging to B and letting the dregs get A for you.

If you lose B as US, that's normal, as RU should get it first because they get to it faster. But as the US you have three routes to get to B. I think it's fair.

I really do not like Bazaar though. Not one bit.

 

[Time_Attack]

I'm playing right now and could use some team mates.

 

[Daniel]

I'd be keen on joining as well but I've got no idea what the lag would be considering you guys live in Europe/UK.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Daniel->sniping->accuracy->lazer sight->oh yes, this reminds me of something annoying.

Seine has a serious spawning issue on CQ I am finding out. The hard way.

In a session on friday I spawned to C which was captured by us. It spawned me into the north tunnel, facing RU deployment (was playing US). An enemy was standing between me and the flag. I never knew what hit me.

On saturday I am US again, and again spawn to C. It drops me in the corner there by the randomly placed shipping container (Paris is famous for them). As I spawn I see some lazers eminating from behind me. I am like "hmm, that's odd". I had actually spawned right in amongst 3 enemies. Easiest kill of their lives.

On sunday I am again US, and spawn to D. It drops me in the alley that is by the stairs leading up to RU deployment. It also drops me right in front of an enemy crouching with an UMP. I don't think my feet touched the ground. Later that game I spawned to the exact same spot, with the same guy crouching there. I think we both had a "this feels familiar' moment, but he whistled dixie just that bit too long and I got him.

Not on I tell you. What is the point of generating a new spawn point if it spawns you danger.

Now I wanna install and play Bad Company 2. Arica Harbor was the best map ever.

 

[Daniel]

Mike, I never use the firing MAH LAZZZOOOR because (from experience) I've seen the actual lights and lasers before seeing the person holding the gun, (went 10-3 on Teran CQ as I saw so many tac-lights everywhere 'cause it's a night map).
I use the LAZZZOR sight sometimes but I turn it off immediately as I spawn. If I've got a Flash Suppressor with the gun I'm using, I'll use that as the drop isn't too extreme.

 

[Time_Attack]

I'm playing against at least two guys that have about 12000 USAS kills combined. I can't even keep track of whos who there are so many USASs.

I actually really like metro. Unless your going up against an amazing team there is always a weak spot to get through.

I hope they add some BC2 maps as free DLC. Arica Harbor was one my favorite maps in any game.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Yea the Bad Company 2 maps were great. Arica Harbor, Panama Canal, Valpraiso and that jungle one that was really easy to get spawn trapped on but if you got past it was great.

 

[Patrick]

I loved Arica Harbor. It would be interesting if each side had a helicopter. I would love some BFBC2 maps. I would assume they add some since they added a couple BC1 maps.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Anybody wanna play some Bad Company 2? I've been wanting to go back to it and get the last Vietnam add on trophy buy now I really wanna play the game.

I would, but I would need to buy the game back.
