Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

I have been in a 500-600m sniper war on firestorm and me and the other guy must have fired 50 rounds at eachother without hitting...in the end both of us ran dry around the same time and ran off with pistols eventually.

Which is why i use the Ammo+ when sniping long range :D

ha that's funny when it turns out that way and you're both like "well, see you later."
 
I've been playing on the tacticalgamer.com servers. We use TeamSync via Teamspeak to communicate within squad, squad leaders can communicate to other squad leaders, and also team communication. Pretty nifty.
 
saw a couple people get banned for aimbot today. Hate that its always in the back of my mind when I get shot.

I download teamspeak the other day, they ask for a subscribtion, so we have to pay ? or we pay to pay on tactical gamer server only ?
 
Well, it looks like the reporting profile feature may have actually worked. I kept track of this one just to see if anything would happen. I reported this guy about a week ago (a couple times) along with a note saying "get rid of this cheating piece of shit".

His stats have been wiped. Of course it could have been other factors and I have a feeling lots of people reported him, but maybe it does make a difference.

he is from Russia , 70% of peoples ban are from Russia and I'm pretty sure you have way less % peoples playing BF3 in Russia than in America ( cost of the PC )
 
BTW not sure if it was just me but until today I was getting the "can not Connect server is full" error, but as of this morning when I click on a full server it puts me in queue.
 
I cant get enough of 1000ticket conquest servers.
Everything else now just feels too short, and getting 32,000 points at the end of the map just feels so damn good.

I cant wait for the new maps.
 
So I'm finally in playing after launch. I played from the alpha to the beta and I still can't understand how things have changed so much and how other things haven't been fixed. Why does hit detection feel worse? Why can't I get my in-game ping, why does the map suck? Etc, etc.

Sigh.
 
I just had a great run on Tehran Highway in a T-90A as the secondary gunner. We smashed through enemy lines and, with a little bit of infantry support to take out the engineers, we were untouchable.

Of course, BF3 crashed to desktop before the round ended. :mad: Does anyone know if all those thousands of points are still credited to my stats?

Yup they seem to have added server queuing.

alt-ctrl-s will show fps and ping (believe its labeled IGO or something like that)
 
Chat box also sucks. Can't believe I wasted $30 on this. Rockets underpowered as well.

Congratulations Dallows, you dont like this game, move along now...dont need another downer trashing the thread with their constant hate.

Ive noticed with me, if my game crashes my pints and unlocks are still kept. But if the PC locks up or crashes then they are all lost.
 
1 rocket only disables a Humvee? Please.

I was able to climb around in one and it was VERY heavy. The doors were extremely thick and pretty tough to move. This particular one wasn't even the highest level of armor either, they aren't like cars, which is what most people think.
 
This game has been pissing me off a lot lately.

Frag shotguns? lol
Mortar whores
Underpowered RPGs and Rockets from air vehicles
Crappy as flying physics for planes, helis are alright.
gay NV scope
Hacks galore, just witnessed the invisi knife from across the map hack last night
Weak and boring ass BF3 maps.
Dumbass HUGE bulletdrop with tracers that look like RPGs

I think I'm going back to BC2 until the expansion comes out. I was right when I called the "betas" alphas, this is the true beta release.
 
Guys, what about you and loong range sniping ? I have feeling that there must be something like aim assist or something, coz everytime i shoot for long range even from SV98 it's almost everytime headshot. I also tried to aim at long ranges to aim alot above head and little less on the same range target and it was always headshot. i can't help myself but I just think there is too mcu aim toleration when you fire for a long range and you don't know how much to aim above head.

Supposedly the head hitbox increases in size the longer you stay in a given spot or some shit like that (to a point) to deter camping.

In BC2 my bolt action HS ratios were in the 58-70% range. In BF3, 85-90%. Clearly there is something completely different going on. I'm shocked at the amount of headshots or what turns out to be a headshot...seems almost like they made it easier because headshots are what people want. I'd prefer it to be skill-based, personally.
 
Have you ever been near an up-armored HWMMV? They're tougher than you think. Yeah, in the movies one rocket blows up buildings and mountain sides. Real life is a little different.

I was able to climb around in one and it was VERY heavy. The doors were extremely thick and pretty tough to move. This particular one wasn't even the highest level of armor either, they aren't like cars, which is what most people think.

I couldn't really find any hard data on this. Regarding their resistance to RPGs. However. I did find that even though there are up-armored Humvee they're not being widely used. Not sure how up to date that info was.

This is also a game, not a war simulator.
 
I've finally gotten good at this game. It's amazing how, with each new BF game I play, it takes me longer to get over the learning curve to where the game is just pure fun.

The F2000 is an amazing gun. Really deadly.

Now I'm starting to add more friends on Battlelog and use teamwork, etc.. with a good squad all working together you can be a decisive factor in just about any round.

1 rocket only disables a Humvee? Please.

Are you saying this because Humvee's should realistically be disabled by one rocket? Or are you saying this because of balance and they should not be disabled by one rpg?

If you want them completely destroyed because of balance and you don't really care about realism... why do you bring this up?

Now you want to talk about how widely used a type of armored humvee is in the real world and relate it to why the game should not have armored humvees?


Confusing to say the least

It's cool that they are responding to cheaters, but is wiping their stats really going to stop them? Seems like many blatant cheaters do so just to fuck with people. How is wiping their stats going to stop them from just doing the same thing again?

Maybe they should implement stats wipe as a first strike and have the second or third strike be getting banned from the game.
 
One of the things that kept me from buying BF3 until just recently the announcement of no destructible buildings. Somebody should clarify that. Literally the only difference is that buildings don't "completely" collapse walls and everything else can be taken out. I'm pretty ok with it how it is. I can see how on a 1000 ticket server would get boring if all the buildings were blown up halfway through. Also not surprisingly Battelog has gotten a thousand times better in the last couple days. Everything is working pretty good now.

Well, I have a feeling the account is banned AND the stats are wiped. If one is caught cheating, they should be insta banned (like it is now) no 2nd chances IMO.

Really the only thing stopping them from cheating again is another 40 or 50 bucks.
 
Getting road kills with the MAV is fun until an admin kicks you from the server. I noticed in city maps that most of the bitching going on in the game chat is about mortars, but as soon as people start dying from MAV roadkills they start complaining about flying robots.

Plus the cost of the hack :p

lol i got a warning for using a mortor on a guy using a mortor in his spawn, and i was warned not to shoot into the base, so i left.

what kind of admin lets you mortor from the base but as soon as you try to counter it you get a warning?

And rightfully so.
 
Rockets underpowered. Care to explain why you think that.

...well, you can survive a direct rocket, or shoot someone directly with a rocket and they survive. Instances where my teammate probably '10ft' away was hit by a rocket, lives and I die from the explosion. Not sure if it's hit reg or just poor programing, but rockets are retarded.

And rightfully so.

Ah, and sitting clear back in spawn on Metro spamming mortars is better lol?

Ah, okay. That is acceptable.
 
You should of put that $30 towards paying someone to fix your computer from the sounds of it.

Considering the amount of people reporting the same issues I'm experiencing on the battlelg forums, and that all my other games run just fine, I think my $30 went to a broken game.

I still plan on playing the game once they patch it. But when these issues are being reported by many others on the battlelog forums, let's not assume its just my own incompetence.
