welcome. ps3 bf3 cag is pretty informal. just the way, bf3 is setup its hard to have more than 4 people in a squad together. plus, even if youre in a party, the server often times split you up for balancing issues. theyre addressing this issue with the next patch. the easiest way to play with us regulars is to add the people from the spreadsheet (especially, the more frequent posters here), then when youre online & someone else is .. bam. if they ignore your messages, it could be for a number of reasons. he/she might be in a full squad already (4 members). you could always try to crash the server by "Join server" option on their name but sometimes the server is full. sad panda.

if theyre playing tdm, theyre often times grinding. i still need someone to play coop with. still need to finish hard mission 4 (sniper) and undetected mission 4 & 3?
 
[quote name='SynGamer']I should probably play the Campaign and Co-op sometime...I have yet to actually jump into either of those modes.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I haven't touched the Co-Op either. I finished the campaign and...meh. You wouldn't be missing anything other than trophies if you decided not to play it.
 
Welcome Kaiser, I have barely touched sp or coop. I plan on finishing the coop one day, and the sp as well but coop first. I have been totally consumed by the mp, I absolutely love it. Feel free to add me. I always play conquest, I played TDM and hate it I just cannot get used to it after the objective base games. Feel free to add me this is the only game I play right now. I usually have difficulty balancing real life friends and cag friends, so I apologize if I don't accept your invite or don't invite you.

I'll add you, I don't have much friends who play the same modes as me and I love conquest. Can't wait for my fav map Wake Island. :)

[quote name='cheap from birth']4 kills away from 1000 with the usas. Watching victims flip around is still fun[/QUOTE]

Very nice that gun is a fucking beast. Even after being shot a few times you can still blow enemies away. The gun has its maps and times, sometimes I forget its a shotgun and try to start firing to far away and get my ass handed to me but its a fun gun that for sho!

I haven't seen to many people go flying when using the gun, but when I have my tank and blast people with it, its hilarious when they go shooting up in the air twenty some feet.
 
welcome 8bit. i knew you couldnt stay away for long. in bf3, you can be part of the multiple clans. so you can cag and pixl.

ps3 bf3 patch

Starting November 30th at 09:00 CET (that's 00:00 PST), we will do a scheduled maintenance of our database. We estimate that this maintenance will take approximately three hours, and it will affect all formats.

During this time, we will also roll out the client update for Battlefield 3 on PlayStation 3 (Xbox 360 will follow shortly). When you start the game, you will be notified of the update, and we strongly advise you to download it, since it contains a number of fixes, updates, and some new features. Full change list below. For reference, this is a very similar update to what the PC version received recently:

so do tanks have wwaayyyy more armor in this game than they did in bc2? it seems like it takes forever to kill a tank with RPGs.

tanks would go down fairly easily if you hit them from the back. a few and they were toast.

im also already tired of prone campers after just a few games.
 
There are all kinds of upgrades for tanks that can make them repair faster, shoot faster, have thermal camo, or upgraded armor. Engineers can also repair tanks fairly quickly which can be annoying if the other team has them covered. Aim at the turret for maximum damage. You can spot people with the select button if they are in your crosshairs and prone people won't do much damage if you have good team work and they also make for a easy headshot. You can also shoot there legs through some cover. Last night i was playing after the patch and i could see all enemy equipment on my minimap including mines and claymores. Also after i repaired a tank it was still spazzing out and acting like it had 1% health when it had 100.
My highlights in the game include getting 2 double headshots within 5 minutes of one another with the magnum bullet bolt action sniper and two 300 meter headshots in one game. KD is at like 1.88 now and winning percentage is still around 1.8. I use all the classes too and have service stars for all of them except support, which i am about to get.
My skill is at like 340 although the other day it was at 420. I didn't really play that bad that day so i was wondering how the hell my skill dropped like 75 points.
 
Oh sweet, I'm going to be playing today from around 2:30Pm Pacific time to around 4:30ishpm pacific I got 2 hours to play.
 
I am lagging now since the update. I am on wifi but before matches would be lag free? I wonder....

Did you know that it depends on where you hit the tank? 4 on the front, 3-4 on treads, 2-3 back
 
Now you can see enemies claymores on the mini map .. that makes no sense. I appreciate the heads up but it defeats the purpose if youre the one laying down the claymore
 
What happened to them banning all the boosters? You see the #1 guy? the dude is Dar FUK EA, hes #1 with no stats. Hes also got like 4-5 other accounts all named lll-DAR-lll. Who is this loser? i also thought they were dimming the tactical light....o well.

oh ya of course. id always aim for the back in bc2 or the side. id never shoot head on unless i absolutely had to and it had other rockets go into it before hand.

The dimming of tactical lights is coming in the next patch they said. Can't wait for that, tired of teammates blinding me and me ending up dead.

Don't go into the light Carol anne!!!!
 
[quote name='cheap from birth']the infrared is pretty much useless now.

not digging the update so far. I hope its just in my head though[/QUOTE]



yeah, the infrared is beyond useless now. what the hell.
 
ok, so this "disabled" vehicle bullshit has to go. i shot a rocket into a jeep, disabled it, yet the gunner still mows me down with the top gun afterwards?!?! WTF! in bad company 2, him and everyone in that jeep would have been fucking toast.

also, i was next to a jeep with someone inside, i point blank shoot him in the face through the window with my shotgun with not even a flinch. jeep has impenetrable windows now?

bring bad company 3 ASAP please.
 
[quote name='SynGamer']They need to fix mines displaying on the map. That shit is wack![/QUOTE]


why is that wack? Aren't you the same one that wanted to do a knife swipe from six feet away and have it kill instantly? If not sorry. But either way why is that wack?
 
[quote name='JungleRot']why is that wack? Aren't you the same one that wanted to do a knife swipe from six feet away and have it kill instantly? If not sorry. But either way why is that wack?[/QUOTE]

If the game is going to show the enemy where the mines are, they might as well show enemy locations. They completely crippled mines. As for the knifing, I stated I want my character to go after the enemy from 6 feet away and attempt a knife kill, not just swing aimlessly at nothing but air. If someone is reloading, I'm going to run forward and try to knife them. I shouldn't have to be a foot away just to get the knife animation to activate.

I always thought if I made a game, I would include something like this.

Oh I was under the impression that once a mine was spotted it was shown on the map but if they are automatically being shown then I agree that is wack.

As far as the knife thing sorry about that. I do see what you are saying and I too wish that there could be more of an effort made when you use the knife as right now it is pretty lame. :D

Infrared with a light machine gun was a staple to my gameplay (probably more of a crutch though). I hope I won't be too disappointed when I update that patch.
 
Boom i went 61 and 15 in Rush on caspian border yesterday. I sniped, used a aek, a tank, and a shotgun with nightvision i picked up off a dead guy. I even got 2 seperate grenade kills via parachute after using my spawn beacon. After that i got 3 headshots over 300 meters in one game and setting a new record for myself at 360. i believe some of you told me i would get raped cause i never played battlefield before but my kd is 1.9 and my winning % is 2.0.
You can grab the enemy from a few more yards away if you have your knife in hand already. And yes the hit detection for rockets can be very inaccurate.
