Battlefield 3- Premium announced; 4 new expansions

[quote name='Daywalker']Yeah I can't wait for more DLC as well. I just hope the achievements aren't a pain in the ass this time around haha.[/QUOTE]

Like a Boss is a great achievement...but my SPM took a major shot driving the bobcat around like a woman.
 
cool trick i found. maybe its old idk...

you guys ever wonder why you always exit on different sides of the vehicle. it feels random but its not. where you exit depends on where you are looking at from inside the vehicle.

so if youre in a tank as a gunner, and your tank is heavily damaged. if you want to repair it safely, just face the bank of the tank and exit. voila youll end up at the back of the tank, safe from enemy fire.

Thanks, I had wondered how that worked.

It sort of sucks because tank turrets turn so damn slow that I'd likely be dead if I'm being bombarded by RPG's trying to exit out the back.

I wish it just exited out whichever direction you were pressing when you hit B.

hehe sorry i had to
 
I got to give it to EA, lately they have been making some kick ass games. Whether it be Dead Space, the often broken but still fun Fifa, and Battlefield. :D
 
Wow, that was immensely helpful. Hopefully I can put that to good use.

Is there ANY effective way to get away from a Javelin or Guided Shell when you're SOFLAMed? A buddy and I love to hop in the attack helicopter and rip it up a bit, but those are our kryptonite. There seems to be no way to get away from them on top of the fact that you can't even hear when they get shot at you.

I unlocked Guided Rockets yesterday, but I'm not entirely sure if they're worth getting rid of the laser painter for. The painter helps out a whole lot, allows the gunner to use his guided missiles and for others to Javelin the enemy. The guided rockets apparently allow me to lock my regular missiles onto a SOFLAMed target, but hardly anybody actually uses the sniper SOFLAM so I have to do it myself with the painter. Also, which do you think is better, flares or the ECM jammer? They both basically seem to accomplish the same thing.
 
ECM jammer will stop a lock from the citv station or soflam (but only for around 3-4 seconds). However, those are so infrequently used, I think pilot and gunner should both run IR flares. Let's face it, if you are being soflamed/citv'd, it's only a matter of time before they'll get you. But 9/10 maps, no one is working as a team to bring the chopper down.

Guided rockets are nothing special - apparently they have a slight tracking ability to them from everything I've seen. So if you fired one meter to the left on that chopper that's 30 miles away, it will track to it. But I don't see any practical use for them. So many choppers run flares/flares that the only way to bring them down is laser painter from the pilot/guided missle from the gunner.

Side rant: It's cheap as fuck that the jets can run into the chopper and bring them down without taking any damage. I don't consider myself a topgun by any means, but me and my gunner can normally go a full match without getting shot down other than the kamikaze jets that somehow still just keep flying. At least they should make it where the jet explodes on contact.
 
i think the javelin will be nerfed against soflamed air vehicles. read it on gamefaqs.. heh

also be sure to watch the other videos he posted on his channel. theyre so helpful. like how to see through smoke and how to stack perks on vehicles (well mainly tank)

guided rockets on its own does close to 50% but it wont disable. however, a guided rocket aimed towards a soflamed or laser painted target will do either a one hit kill or disable.

if you play rush on nosharh canals, no one will use the Mobile AA if you keep pestering it with laser painter and guided missile combo on the scout chopper. its really deadly.

and i always use ECM jammer. i stopped using flares ever since stingers dont disable in one hit anymore. the only counter against ECM jammer is either soflam + javelin combo, lots of stingers at the same time, or beam scanning plus anti air missile combo. ecm jammers last for 5 seconds but it takes 7-9 seconds to recharge. if you have beam scanning, itll reduce the lock on time to 2 seconds or lower.
 
I just spawned on a fucking claymore.

Anyway... Now that I'm unlocking guns that aren't shitty I can hold my own. Had a couple good runs today on TDM including a 24-6 game.. Went from like 600-700 K/D to about 900-850, so I'm finally starting to get the hang of things. The FAMAS is awesome.

Oh I'm one of those :p I pretty much know a lot of the spawn areas in TDM so I put claymores at popular spawns if I happen to run by.

Also ECM jammer is great, much better than flares if depending on your ability as a pilot. It gives my friend time to skim down to the surface and then pop out somewhere else spot out soflams/tanks

Umm, DICE is owned by EA. Therefore EA makes this game. Same with Bioware titles.
 
Son of a bitch. I really wish people would stop using the many different game changing vehicles as fucking taxis.

On the flip side I hate it ever more when people treat the tank like a china doll and run away at the first sign of danger. The tank cant hide behind a wall forever man...get in the fight!

It's game changing either way, if you have a noob who hops out and leaves it for the enemy, sometimes the game is over at that point. Especially on Davamand/Bazaar CQ

On a side note, played a game today on Metro where 20/23 people were using USAS with frag rounds..shits getting ridiculous, felt like I was in a stormtrooper battle

I don't like the Famas because I always run out of ammo. The bullets come out too damn fast.
 
[quote name='oasisboy']I don't like the Famas because I always run out of ammo. The bullets come out too damn fast.[/QUOTE]

Just press down on the controller and change to either a single or double round shot. That weapon is overpowered imo.
 
I talked a lot of shit about rush mode and how they should stick to what made them famous in conquest......fuck that. Conquest is boring as hell.
 
its really frustrating when you die and you see on the map that there is no one, and i mean literally NO ONE in the enemy base attempting to plant the bomb or in your own base DEFUSING the bomb.

or after you plant a charge and die; you look at the map and there is NO ONE attempting to defend it.

i kept on pestering this guy on my team who was just sitting back sniping. i drove a vehicle up towards him and bail at the last second to kill him. i wouldnt do such thing if the guy actually contributes. but he wasnt contributing AT ALL. it was on operation firestorm, rush, and we were up to the second base as attackers. the guy was still on that same hill near the attacker's runway trying to snipe and score headshots. it was like 45 mins into the game and he sitll had 0-0!!! and he was like rank 39. play however you want, but damn if you just care about kills, play death match! not conquest or rush! sheesh.

in death match, if you kill a lot of guys, youll help your team win! but in conquest and rush, you have to play the objective! ughh i just wish you can talk to the entire team using team chat without having them turn on the team channel. well i actually dont know if the feature is functional at all

also earlier i drove the amtrac to the enemy base THREE times and no one spawned on it to help me defend the charge i planted. its crazy!

i turned on team chat and i guess it worked because after i yellled "you guys are bunch of useless fuckin morons. ive driven the amtrac 3 fuckin times to Bravo and not a single person spawned on it to help me defend the fuckin charge. holy shit can you guys be anymore fuckin useless??" everyone began spawning on it -_-
 
[quote name='Soodmeg']241m head shot today in a match. Thats 2 and a half football fields. Crazy.[/QUOTE]

Shots like those make me feel like the sniper from Saving Private Ryan. :lol:
 
By the way, what is better to equip? The bipod or the foregrip? I am looking for something that will help me with my accuracy. Also, what would you all say is the best Assault weapon?
 
[quote name='oasisboy']By the way, what is better to equip? The bipod or the foregrip? I am looking for something that will help me with my accuracy. Also, what would you all say is the best Assault weapon?[/QUOTE]

In my opinion, it depends on what map, where on the map, and what kind of player you are. If you run around quite a bit (e.g. chasing down tanks and the enemies inside) the foregrip + heavy barrel will help your accuracy a lot. If you are really careful, go prone, are at Operation Metro, or are usually behind some type of cover, then the Bipod helps. I usually use the foregrip when it is available.

So far, for me, the FAMAS seems to be really good. I haven't unlocked all the assault weapons but when you couple that with a heavy barrel, and use single shot, it's pretty accurate.
 
Well obviously the bipod is going to give you better accuracy but it isn't useful in every situation. Agreed with what htown said above. If you can find a good location (ie not wide open) with a support class rifle and focus on a spot with lots of enemy traffic, laying down with a bipod can net you a heck of a lot of kills.

I usually go for the foregrip myself when choosing between the two. I feel a little safer when I'm not locked down to a bipod - but there are definitely situations where the bipod can come in handy.
 
[quote name='thrustbucket']The FAMAS is the best Assault gun right now. It is overpowered and due for a nerf, if you're into exploiting such.[/QUOTE]

Pretty sure I've read that DICE feels it's not overpowered.

I personally prefer the F2000 myself. I think both of them need a nerf, though.
 
I dont think the Famas is the best....I have at least 1 star on all the weapons (damn OCD!) and I also go back to the F2000. I love that damn gun to death and I have won many 1 on 1s with FAMAS users.
 
[quote name='MillerTime2523']That's crazy. That's the only thing I don't like about BF3 on 360.. Some of the maps are too fucking big for 12 v 12. Playing this on PC must be fun.[/QUOTE]

Yeah there are a few maps that I always quit out on because there will never be enough people that have the coordination to make it work. It winds up being a boring sniper in the back match.
 
[quote name='dotCody']Not a Battlefield moment, in my opinion at least.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. While it was still very funny, Battlefield isn't about the run n gun shit. Makes me miss my PC Unreal Tournament 4 days and 64 player Counter-Strike maps though.

I agree with this. I love the F2000. What do you guys prefer for TDM? Full auto shooting or the semi-automatic setting? What's better?
 
2 things I am really starting to get sick of.

1. Semi auto sniper rifles at are being used basically as high powered pistols.
2. The infinite range of shotguns. They are also being used as high powered pistols.

I'm surprised you didn't mention high powered pistols...

I use my PP as a high powered pistol ;)
 
Fun game. Picked it up for around $32 after my two coupons at BB. I think I am going to play it for a week and then trade it back to amazon for the same amount.

I like Rush mode. Teammates seem pretty good about taking objectives. Not so good at throwing ammo/med out. I've probably spent the most time as a sniper. Probably had the most fun getting lucky with pistol kills.

However, I look down the unlock tree and don't really see anything worth playing for in the end. More guns and some abilities that aren't that interesting.
