I've had some really bad spawns in conquest. I spawn and turn around and BANG there's an enemy shooting me. Literally within... 1 second.

Interesting, although I'd imagine it would be tough to get the vehicle in that position in the first place. That's weird that it didn't just repair fully and end things but I guess it wouldn't being upside down.

I've also had this happen a few times. It's strange because they didn't really need to mess with anything from BC2 for this to work well. That game always did a flawless job of spawning you in a safe place.

An addendum to my earlier post. I think I found the best way to practice helicopters. The second co-op mission is entirely AH-1 based. You just have to be lucky enough to get the back seat and you're set. I ran through it and finally got a pretty good feel for the helos. Unfortunately, the 4 conquest games I played after that were all on ground-based maps. Oh well.

Yeah, the spawns do really, really suck in Team Deathmatch. You can't choose to spawn anywhere but where the game tells you to, and there's no points to cap to make spawn trappers move from their positions. It's disgusting, and I wish for Quick Match they had an option to search for just Conquest and Rush.

It's annoying to get spawn killed in Conquest, but unless your only option is your original spawn, and somebody is camping that, I don't really get mad because I have choices for my spawn.

And I'm really, really getting sick of the game ing up with squad invites and my friends or myself either not getting into games or getting on the wrong teams. I have 17% quits from all the times I leave games because of friends on the wrong team, or not getting into the match. And of course, you can't leave between games, so you get a quit whenever you wanna stop playing too.

Otherwise, the game is pretty damn fun. I wouldn't put up with these major issues with a game that was any less fun.

I wish every weapon had a 3-round burst though. It's annoying to switch between full auto and single shot, but I'm comfortable CQ and long range with the burst.

Thanks. For some reason I thought it was when I created a platoon was the same thing.. I'll now prepare for the onslaught of messages.

You hit the nail on the head for me. That is my only real beef with the game is the squad issues. I would think in another patch that it can be fixed. It's improved since the beta. I usually play with my friends, but I can always use more people to play with(who actually use teamwork). So, people feel free to send a FR.

I'm a little disappointed at all the clipping in this game, people can give their position away by going prone and turning perpendicular to a wall because their feet go through the wall.


Also, since apparently you shoot from the top of your head in this game, people can be behind head-high cover and still be able to shoot you from it while you cannot shoot them unless you manage to hit that 1 inch of the top of their head twice to kill them.

Apparently 1 headshot doesn't kill in 1 shot with the ARs/SMGs/Pistols unless they are already hurt.



Agreed on the squad invites being ed and still putting people on opposite teams. The lag is still atrocious in most games for me....so much for that legitimate beta I guess.

I'm still early in the unlock path for all the classes but I have the stinger already and the russian equivalent but it's next to impossible to shoot down a jet, they deploy flares then by the time you reload, lock on, fire they have flares up again or they're already out of range. As far as I was aware the only other lock on system is with the javelin and that won't lock onto jets unless I'm mistaken.

I'd comment on the bullet damage but I feel the lag maybe a factor in that too however I tried using the PP2K last night and I shot someone standing still 12 times and did not get a kill, a team mate shot the enemy and I ended up getting like an 80 something kill assist. Disappointing.

FYI Dr Pepper cap codes are now good for BF3 dog tags or a uniform. They have 6 different my favorite being:



Was talking about this with a friend yesterday and it's obvious that this is the way of the future but I HATE this product tie in thing. Buy X product get Z in game.. It's a money maker for both and more exposure for the game but i'm a whore and will buy shit I don't want like Dr Pepper which is nasty to get that dog tag. MW3 double exp caps, I damn thee to hell!

BF3 gamertag slowly growing as well, if you wanna find CAGs: CAG BF3 GROUP

Javelin is for land vehicles. I maxed out the engineer class in like two days and the Stinger is the only surface-to-air launcher that I have. If you want a better chance to shoot down aircraft with it, try this:

When your lock-on weapons lock on to an aircraft, the pilot receives the lock-on warning and a lot of people freak out and instantly press flares, even before you've fired your launcher. All that will do is lose your lock-on so you can instantly reacquire your target and fire. That will pretty much ensure a hit, unless a passenger has flares as well (I think passengers can use their flares if equiped). Even if you fire two in rapid succession, I've had hits that defeated the flare reload speed.

I figured that much but what about the people who wait for you to fire, wait for the projectile to get close, then hit flares? They become untouchable unless you co-ordinate with a team mate also using a stinger. I find that a little silly to be honesty but that's me.

I've been addicted to the engineer class and explosive speciality. 6 mines and 10 rockets is a pretty insane amount of extra ammunition. During conquest I just lay mines over the major vehicle paths thus rendering half of their shit useless. Plus it always brings up huge points for me. That combined with being squad leader and making orders on the various MCOM stations for the group defend / group attack bonuses is a guaranteed 3,500+ points a game.

I've been debating between a launcher and mines but I feel like the mines are more bang for your buck, armor takes like 3 rockets just to disable while the mines kill right away I think.

Probably gonna use the mines now that you bring it up.

I really don´t like the single player, but the multiplayer is very good

I wouldn't mind so much, except it's JUST Dr. Pepper, and I don't like that soda.

Seriously, that company makes 7up, A&W, Canada Dry and RC Cola, but they only put the damn promotions on Dr. Pepper.

Doesnt help that they dont even put it on Dr Pepper 10. Which I enjoy drinking.

I took a quick glance at the strategy guide while in line to pick up BF3 from Gamestop. I remember seeing a bunch of bars/stats for each weapon, not sure if it was for damage, recoil, etc.

Ugh...seems like everyone is figuring how overpowered the shotguns are...

I am kinda confused. How do you know when you are at maxed level for things? I have been playing with the same kit and same gun (I usually go through one by one for most games) and it seems like for the kit itself I am on the last level. The bar for the gun is blank now and wont increase. Does that mean its maxed?

I ask because for 1 day I lost all of my progression and everything reset so now I am super nervous about everything.

Has anyone set up a platoon for 360? Would really like to join one.

Incredible.... I listed my single player disc on a whim this morning as I have no interest in playing it at all and holy shit someone bought it for $40... I'll end up making money purchasing this after you figure the $20 amazon credit which is cash to me plus they gave me a 2nd dog tag set I sold for $15. Not to mention I still have the MP disc!

Noone has posted one so I literally just made one, took about 7 seconds lol. "Cheapassgamer" is the Platoon name, the battlelog site is badass, I can't wait to see how MW3's is since you actually have to pay to access elite. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...5241033136176/
