Battlefield 3 - FREE for PS+ Members starting July 2nd!

[quote name='4thHorseman']Thank god, I hate that fucking tactical light.[/QUOTE]

It sux when members of your own team have them and are constantly blinding you in a big heated battle. That is annoying.
 
Just out of curiousity, anybody else experience the BF3 corruption other than 6er and myself? I noticed it with the Beta I'd get random corrupt data. After release three days ago the HD corrupted but was bootable to the format utility, so it got reformatted. Today it just bit the bullet to the point of not even being bootable, so I swapped in my old HD and need to try and fix the broken HD.
 
Matches are bloodbaths, tons of guys killing their own because of the bot loophole. Its insane. Yet fun, so.much chaos

Mine went corrupt even after a fresh format. I reformatted, installed all my games, and then tried to rebuild file system . It said my data was corrupted and forced the format. So now I'm only going to rebuild database. The drive is a few months old and i ran a disk health check on.windows. its fine. I first checked the.file system after I couldn't even load BF3.

That's how I came to my conclusion

so this is pc only? I hope so. I will never understand how people think that this is cool or fun.
 
gg shutup-sitdown...lately I suck at the game (don't know why). I have been messing around with classes that I don't usually play such as recon with sniper rifle (I don't know how people can snipe). Getting a little better with helicopter...till stinger gets a lock on.
 
I enjoy both games, but I find Mw3 a lot more easier.

I love the gun battles in BF3, and it just looks better.

I havn;t even touched Single player on both yet.

Not a fan of recon either. But I'll probably end up trying to level up to get some of their gadgets.

Just had a nice round of stabbing ppl. 8 dog tags. would have got more if the animation doesnt take too long to reset :cry:
 
the co-op mission w/ helicopter was a great trainer
I've actually gotten used to the controls , now if can just stay away from that pesky "lock-on" I hate to hear that beeping..ugh
 
Man, had serious lag issues in many games. All of which I did terribly at anyways. Don't think my team won any of them in the past two hours no matter which game I went into. Horrible night tonight. Think I'm done for the night and shall wait until tomorrow.
 
[quote name='Brainberry']anybody want to do the xp glitch(don't judge me)[/QUOTE]

There were several people doing it in a match yesterday after a few min the team went bat crap crazy and everyone started killing each other. Expect this now that the glitch is common knowledge. They see a bot icon in a corner and some go nuts. I could care less. It gets very boring quickly, and you mostly unlock stuff that doesn't matter much.
 
Do you all play on a certain server? I'd like to join in for a few rounds, but without committing to a 'clan' or anything.
 
[quote name='evozakira']You gonna be on today 6er[/QUOTE]

I'm only going to have about 20 minutes free time today so probably not.

No we don't play on a certain server. From what I can tell you can only play on open servers. Last week we kinda just joined one another and played. Some CAGs ended up on the other team.


BATTLEFIELD 4 trailer coming 2017 haha...its cool looking.

I just got my copy several hours ago. I'm finishing up setting my ea account and everything.
 
[quote name='cheap from birth']sorry agent for just noticing your game invite. hopefully we catch each other again over the weekend.

had a terrible run of games today[/QUOTE]

Tried the sniper co op. It went bad enough I'm done with co op. And i got the dumbest partners tonight. Also, It seems aiming with cross hairs is useless. Aim perfectly at head and nothing happens. Even for bullet drop I should still hit them. 5 missions in a row.

And no I'm not asking anyone for help or tips on making a broken game work.

Everybody is good with the shotgun.

I like the shotgun attachment using the underslung rail.
 
Glitch alert in campaign. When you are told to target runners for the a10. I.spent 10 minutes and they wouldn't die. I reloaded checkpoint and got them all in two strafes

I ran into a few bugs in the campaign (I'll keep it spoiler free). The most annoying was in the mission where you had to escort an almost unconscious person to a helicopter, the body respawned after being carried away so by the time I reached the escape point the mission wouldn't end. I waited about 10-15 minutes holding off an endless horde of enemy soldiers shooting a the chopper thinking that it was part of the objective. Reloading ended up with the same result but that time I noticed the body respawned. The third reload everything went fine.
 
i found a new fun game within the overall game. counter mortar. if your team is getting creamed by mortars, then someone has to counter their mortars with some of your own. look for the big white/red boxes when they fire. then damn, easy win + destruction bonus. but then you have to pack up shop and move somewhere else. it becomes a cat and mouse game because mortars are usually so far into enemy territory that own mortars can reach them.
 
You can't backup your profile save data to a thumb drive on BF3. Grr. I don't understand this, just lock the save to a user. Although on the 360, games such as forza do both. It's locked to a user AND you can't backup only Just transfer. Devs need to learn that consoles are fully fledged computers now. They fail and lose data. We aren't in the cartridge/memory card age anymore. Full backups are too inefficient.

I agree. I could only upload my BF3 save to my PS+ folder...if I let that lapse I'm not sure if Sony keeps those files or not.

I don't get how medal of honor got so much heat for glitches when BF3 has many more and there is almost no press on it. The MoH glitches were bearable(I got it on release), you would get by with some, and even added complexity on one mission because the enemy acted randomly. The BF3 glicthes flat out breaks the game. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the patches flew out a sooner than still coming one we are waiting on.
 
I need a little advice on playing conquest. I usually play solo so my main objective in conquest is to cap the flag closest to the enemy's spawn point, and I'll do whatever is necessary to hold that position. I think I'm good at it; in the duration of a match my estimate is that I hold onto that flag site between 50-65% of the time. While holding onto the site I usually sprinkle the whole area with mines. Question is that is this play style effective in conquest? Cause the last few games our team lost. Also, this method works really well on Grand Bazaar, iono why people are so intent on holding onto the alley way (flag B).
 
for me, conquest is all about attrition. in the ideal team, you will have a good mix people playing offense and defense. i found that its more like people that dont know how to play conquest. its good to cap the nearest enemy base flag but i dont think youll win. youre good for some cheap kills with the mines. its one of my favorite things in the game... you get random points for mines. if the bad guys have other spawn points, then its no problem. if youre solo, you cant count on your teammates to cap flags. so if youre holding down the flag nearest to the enemy base, you're leaving yourself out of the equation. thats one less guy to cap flags.

what i usually do is to make my to the one of the end flag points. drop some mines. cap flag. move on to the next one. unless im messing around and to try to fly. but then again, im usually playing rush.
 
Conquest I just run around and cap as many flags that I can depending on the map. If there are 4 flags I'm constantly running with my squad holding points for a bit and moving to cap or defend a flag within the vicinity. If its 3 flags I'll usually try to hold B. I don't enjoy games when a team gets stuck in the spawn area, it tends to be a boring low scoring match.

Also I didn't realize any class can spot people and vehicles by press select on the them, same if your the squad leader you can mark points for some free points. I thought spotting was only for the recon class. I'm embarrassed and feel like a complete noob.
 
The way I play Conquest is like the way I play Domination in MW2, hold more than 50% of the areas to make them bleed points and fight to hold the hardest point. On Caspian I set up a beacon on C because being that high you parachute in, on Firestorm I defend B like a madman, otherwise you just hop in a vehicle and run around capping stuff, easy way to be a team player.
 
I tend to play conquest moving with my squad capping nodes. I lay down Med-Kits, Revives and support fire(in that order). In the one squad I was in for about 4 hours straight we kept winning every Conquest match, we were all in the top 4(points for me with healing, revives etc, don't care about K/D).

I wish more people played and stuck together like that.
 
I have been with a lot of groups where we would cap every flag at the begining and hold them the whole match. I find most those teams in the morning time when i wake up but after a few hours they disban :( lol my K/D isnt good because i suck at shooters but killing or dying in this game and im still having fun
 
*added myself to the roster

* ADD ME!* -----Look to the left-------

How come I can't join the "Cheap Ass Gamer" platoon on battlelog?


@ Syn If you think the spawn system in BF3 is bad check out MW3 XD

I was playing kill confirmed and I killed two dudes in a row(adv. uav was up) and next thing you know(2-3 seconds) those same two dudes spawn five feet from me on the other side of the wall I was taking cover behind. I didn't even have time to reload and needless to say that moment resulted in me getting severely butthurt.

I really hope they tweak the knifing speed/range with the first patch. Tired of being about 6 feet away from someone and my character just swiping at the air. I don't want MW2 lunges, but I want my character to step forward and try to knife the guy while he's reloading...
 
I play Conquest to the weakness' and strengths of my side and also my own. In other words you have to see what and how your team is doing as a whole. If everyone is defending and in a huge firefight constantly at certain nodes then why not sneak in and take over another node and just the opposite if you are on an offensive happy team...... then pick a node you have and defend it with everything you have, thus your team can still spawn close to the front and keep pushing on the enemy while that may end up in more deaths for you as sometimes you are alone or nearly alone in this endeavour.

I had one game where we were lying down suppressive fire to keep the enemy from advancing at all while one player just kept feeding me and the other gunner ammo and another health...needless to say it worked well. I have also been that person.

Some games I have played are well-balanced where there is a good number of people willing to defend and about the same amount pushing ahead for more territory then you can use your strengths to determine which role you want to play.
Sometimes I will just be a "spotter" if there is a heavily contested node (depending on the map) and I found that that alone can really turn the tides of the game in your teams favor.

While other conquest games you may need to change your class or loadout to aid the team. I usually play assault with an underslung loadout but if I see that no one is dropping medkits in a heated battle area then I will quickly change my loadout to the medkit. Same goes for ammo.

You just have to recognize your own weaknesses and the teams and fill in the holes where you can. If I am on a side where there is too many holes or solo play then I dive after the second game and find another.
