Disney World is in Orlando. Disney Land is in California (LA I believe).

If you get a chance eat at Bahama Breeze. Best king crab I have ever had.

Will bring the wife. I hate seafood myself ;(

I went 7 years straight for paintball tournaments, always in October. Its going to be strange being down there not playing ball and not being there for Halloween horror nights. But this is also the first time I'm going with my family so it will be a whole different trip. Its been 4 years, Harry Potter, Simpson ride and the roller coaster in universal are all new from last time. I know HP is just a reworked area which is a shame because that was the coolest area of both Parks.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled battlefield discussion:

Battle field friends full tank... funny!
 
As val with extended mag! Little recoil almost no spread. And a high rate of fire! Shoot in bursts amd you will own the battlefield.

Oh btw, use the russian rds it aims down the sight faster.
 
**** private servers. 750 ticket Grand Bazaar playing with Dragonistic. The round is going fine, then with 11 tickets left and we were about to lose! I get kicked. Bull ****. Wasn't even the leader or anything. Drago got MVP and he didn't even get kicked! Where are the DICE servers?!

Another good night in the field with various GTPers, some really difficult rounds but even most of the tough rounds were enjoyable struggles be it win or loss (despite the frustrations, I always felt we fought valiantly so left no bad taste).

Also experienced my first round where the server hosts went all god on us and kicked my squadmates but left me sitting top of the board where'd I'd been most of the game and getting MVP, clearly just kicked the squadies for trying to stop them spawn killing us with the LAV on Bazaar whilst I was busy being a nuisance with my 870 elsewhere. I was Assault so just spammed revives and medkits etc. whilst pummeling any enemies who ventured to close or even not that close at times :lol:. The 870 is a frustrating but entertaining and all round decent weapon, one moment you're blasting a guy point blank who survives and kills you, the next you're wiping out entire squads singlehandedly from reasonably distance as you plough through to a flag.

Edit: Tree'd PS3 browser sucks.

Maybe the guy figured out you were US and didn't want to deal with the lag issue.
 
Just played a high ticket metro server and it was chaos!
The most kills was over 200.

During that game I took the foregrip of my M16 and it worked a treat. The gun hardly has any recoil and has a decent rate of fire, making it a great all round gun for any situation. At close range you might get beat by an AEK or Famas but pick your battles. It’s now my favourite gun. 👍
 
Agree with that smuffy, I use the M16 with only the reflex sight and no other attachments.
Great all round gun.

Cheers Shaun.

When I one day feel the urge to return to assault class, I'll be using this for sure.

Ddrizle: The James Bond scene in the second vid never feels to have me laughing.
 
I was in two rounds in a row last night with a guy on the opposite team using the M26 DART, in fact the whole other team were using the M26 DART, but the guy at the top of the leaderboard was going 135-15 with it.

He did that two rounds in a row.
We sat at deployment for most of the game.

I was in stitches (you have to laugh, or you'll cry) at one point, because everytime I died, it was by his hand.
He was called "Ecselsiour" and he killed me by using his M26 DART, then he used a LAV, then he used the truck/car thing, whatever they're called, the one's with the mounted gun that aren't a hummer, then he used his M26 again.
At one point, I was cornered near A flag at Bazaar, and we had the enemy LAV sat at A, taking the flag.
The squaddie I'm with (random) is spamming the LAV with RPG's and I am medikitting him when they turn to fire at him.
The LAV goes up, so the driver bails and starts to run for my Engineer, who hides in a corner near me, and shoots.
The enemy comes quite brazenly round the corner and tries to kill the Engi, who promptly dies.
I have full view of the enemy, who I kill.
I go and revive the engi in his corner, then instantly die.
It's Ecselsiour.
When I respawn, I go take A, then go down the side alley to B to try and help out.
This time I spawned as Engi class, so I start RPG spamming the FAMOUS doorway, to take out the enemy, who are in there in their entirety.
I get about 3 kills, then switch to my SG553 and start hitting the guys who are coming through the doorway to get me.
I get another 2, and switch to my M1911 (yay, got it!).
There's an enemy coming at me, I empty the clip into him, and he takes it all.
I haven't got anything left that doesn't need reloading, so I duck round behind the wall and press square.
The enemy soldier walx, and yes I mean WALX around the corner, and faces me while I am going through the reload animation, and fires.
It all happened that quickly.
Who was it?
Ecselsiour.

He was 120 kills + over his death count by the end of the game.

You have to laugh.

Right?

Wasn't he a knight of the round table or something......

:irked:👍
 

This, is somehow more irritating then frag spamming 'back in the day'. Had a round at metro an hour ago where a guy cleared out the building overlooking A by himself - about 6 guys in a row - with his DART.

Had a similar experienced last week with some guy - Saidur_ahl or something - also at GB. Where ever I was, he was, with his M26, killing me. And when he wasn't shotgunning me, he was knifing me. Sometimes, a guy just has your number.

Ah well. I shot down a jet with a tank at Caspian. You take what you can get.

PS: Stingers are now utterly useless against helis. Three times today I locked on, scared the guy into flaring early and let loose, only to see the missile shoot straight vertically into the sky, never to be seen again.

Fairly sure it was a US server, not entirely though but he kicked my UK friend as well who was squadded up with us before they kicked Patrick. It just made no sense to not kick me if they kicked the others.

Edit: 99% sure they were just crying over the 2 making taking out their LAV priority, they didn't mind me blasting their team full of buckshot as long as nobody hurt their precious spawn killing train hanging right on the line before the no-go zone.

@ MikeRotch (<lol)

The stinger is pointless whilst the Javewin/Guided missile/SOFLAM abuse still occurs. I'm fortunate to finally have ECM for attack helis, but find myself regularly one shotted more then anything else and it's more then frustrating not knowing what sort of projectile is coming seeing as you're either A) going to be able to survive and keep in the air therefore can't dive out and waste the vehicle or B) going to insta-die and feel robbed. AA engi launchers will still be useless without combined efforts though, I've had relative success with them once the enemy is under fire already.

Claymores disappear 5 seconds after you die. Just like C4, T-UGS, MAVs, EOD Bots, etc do.

Only things that remain after a death is spawn beacons, that is unless you spawn on them, mines, and ammo/health packs since those last two are infinite.

Hopefully the M26 gets fixed soon. Then it's just a matter of time until some goes on a rampage with another combo and everyone sees it on youtube.

I've found shotguns with slugs very effective, although they aren't very effective up close as they should be...
 
Just started playing support last night (just to give it a try for a change) and I have to say, I love it. Already half way (almost) to the first service star for the type 88 and have 45 resupply ribbons.

Found an odd glitch last night though. Was killed just outside the boundaries of a map and was revived just inside the boundary however, my screen was still black and white with the noise grain filter, like it is when outside the boundary of the map, until I was killed again. Anyone else had this?

Also, I seem to have the sound glitch more since the server update than before.

You're probably right. That was my main goal. To take out the ****ing LAV.
 
Ay, but this whole 'disappear when you die' story is bollocks. Loved watching my killer run away and straight into a claymore.

Yup, I can understand why they did it with C4, because if I kill someone who has planted C4 it's only right that they can't kill me when I re-spawn. However, with claymores, I don't see why a system of "You can only have x amount and when you put new ones down they replace them" works. Unless of course the C4/Claymore code is linked together through poor design.

Mind you, hardly no one uses Claymore's, I rarely come across them or people put them bang in the middle of the doorway so you can easily see it.

Oh and I love running up some stairs in to a room, realising someone is following me for a knifing/easy kill and dropping C4 in the doorway and detonating upon arrival. :sly: C4 is simply too funny to not be used on a regular basis.

I've had that one before but the sound bug hasn't happened to me all that often lately.

How dare you try to win the game Patrick, you should be banned from BF3 forever.

On another note I have seen the light as regards bolt action snipers, not in the sense that I've changed my opinion that the semi-auto rifles are superior in almost every useful way as I still firmly believe that, but I am converted to the M98B when I do use a bolt action. The bullet speed and lack of drop just can't be ignored, I can only find myself killing stationary targets with other bolties but the M98B can do much better in closer engagements and on moving targets at all ranges. Is it more effective then my beloved Mk11? Not really, but it does enough to be usable in actual combat.
 
I had posted a question about server rental having a lot of problems... Can someone please go look at that post and tell me if they can tell me what i can do to fix it

That's because most Support fancy themselves as tank busters and run C4, forgetting there is an entire class dedicated to taking out armour.

I don't mind, means less people expect claymores which means mine are more effective.

@Orphan: Can't help.

@Orphan: Can't help.

Well thanks i guess i will just have to wait till Monday... There help center for the rental servers are not open till Monday.... Lets just say they will owe me for 4 days of not being able to use my server... It started messing up Thursday and it expires Monday... So yeah not too happy right now... Bit i have been racing a lot in the mean time on GT5... Thanks anyway... Appreciate your reply

Question.... I am on BF3 right now and for some reason i can't change the map rotation... It says "you have reached the maximum number of user defined map rotations... Please edit your existing map rotation".... I have only made 2 or 3 map rotations.... Also in manage players it shows nobody in as admins, vip list, or ban list.... Can anyone help me please?

You can only have I believe 3 or four map rotations.
Have you actually managed players? Like gone in and selected a player to ban/ make admin.

Did you do any research on server rentals before you bought one?

You know gtp has an unofficial server right? It is set to public and will start rounds with 2 or more players. Search GTP in server search ( ps3 )

As for being owed 4 days, from the information in your 2 posts it sounds like user errors.
 
Just had some fun with Vexd, Sureboss, and Drag. Drag and I should be back on shortly.

I rarely run anything but C4 on my Support class, 1) it's hilarious, 2) suicide bombings are hilarious, 3) it's hilarious. But you're dead right, well positioned claymore's are bordering on 2 guaranteed kills.

Good fun tonight, had some decent runs in the choppers too. One particular round at Caspian was a great come back, about 70 tickets down or so at one point, we all rallied around, VEXD and I holding a tank for most of that. Mastered Jets too, just Scout helis and Mobile AA to go. The latter will take forever, what with it being on one conquest map and I've not played Wake since the patch. 👎

Speaking of suicide bombings, Drag and I were in the building between B & C at Kharg, he was sniping and I'd just spawned on him, dropped some ammo and then realised we had someone below us. Drag was looking at the top of the stairs and I was next to the gap, dropped some C4 down and killed myself and that guy. It's also highly amusing to drop it on someone instead of knifing them and then running away.
 
I do not know what to think of the M240B. Deploying the weapon on a Bipod makes the M240B a complete monster. When the M240B is not on a Bipod though, the weapon is very Jekyll and Hyde. Sometimes the recoil pattern is incredible and you can basically put an entire magazine on target; other times, being abe to hit the broad side of a barn would be an improvement. :confused:
 
930 pm. All packed up for the trip tomorrow. Alarm set for 3 am


Logging on for a couple rounds.
