Word is the SKS is pretty overpowered, post-patch.

What an idiot, you're obviously a recon
There's no altitude lock like there is in Halo Reach. Angle back to stop your decent, then level off as best you can. Reading the dials that are in front of your face help a lot.
That metro game was longggggggggg. Also the other team was not that good, and made it feel even longer. I like metro but 1750 ticket metro server no thank you.

Fuck that...( I wasn't there the whole game)
Any change to the ticket amount should change the preset to custom

I was on for most of that game just to get disconnected at the very end >.>
Oh well, at least I got 3 or 4 sniper rifle ribbons out of it and I'm getting close to the medal. Speaking of medals I got the suppression one already...getting those suppression ribbons is damn easy now.

It was only 61 minutes.
Yeah suppression ribbons are super easy now, and I love it. I still haven't gotten a MCOM defender ribbon though.
Gulf of Oman is the map I constantly crash on. That map and anytime too much destruction is going on. It's so annoying because usually I'm doing pretty well and boom freeze. Had one each of the last 5 days on Oman.

Check the server owner

Not actually that important
1) yeah, but I feel maybe I should prep a bit more and knowing all the maps before that.
2) well I'd like to try at the least for the sake of it, I didn't know there was a non-protected PS3 GAF server that you can play on without needing to join another gaffer. I'm not in the clan, and the OP crashes my phone so I'll look at it later from home if there's info about how to join the server.
3) gotcha, that's what I suspected, so I don't need to press R2 for longer but just the usual fast click will do if I'm behind? What about prone enemies?
4)That's pretty cool to know, I'll definitely try recon now.
Thanks)

Wait, I have to go into each server and check them 1 by 1?
There used to be so many DICE servers.
Wow, fuck this game now. Seriously. On the PS3, the server browser is full of "only this map" or "1000% tickets".
Even quick match is now useless.
What the fuck just happened? Quick match just randomly chooses one of these browsers now? It does't even bother putting you in a normal server?
This is fucking terrible. Why is no one talking about this?
edit: Wow, quickmatch just put me in a game with 1200 tickets.

I would say give it a week for the official servers to pop back up in the list. I just tried searching for one and yeah, zero lol

I am honestly puzzled here. Has EA said anything about this? I just browsed through 17 pages of servers and did not find 1 official server.
Even servers that said "normal" or whatever had normal rules, but they are either a mix of rush and CQ, or they don't have all the maps.
I have not found 1 normal server.
This works to a degree. Except all the dice servers are jumbled up too.
-I want a server that plays only CQ, and has ALL the maps. This does NOT exist.
-I want a server that plays RUSH only and has ALL the maps. This does not exist.
-There is not filters for search. So I have to make sure that I am not being put into a European game.
What a God damn clusterfuck.

How about you read everything I wrote? That's if you can get it to lock on. And the helo can still avoid it because he has countermeasures when you're locked on/shot the stinger.

Try setting your filter to show only B2K games?
As much as this game can make me rage (lol), I still have fun and am addicted. Give it a try. Select -[DICE]- Epic Battles server and have a blast.

Besides air vehicles, not really.
It's the same as CoD now...(urgh). You'll just miss out on some guns and kits in the beginning. The starter weapons are all fine on their own though.
It really depends on how you want to approach the game overall though.
(KDR? wins? vehicle focused? Infantry focused?)

WTF.
Quickmatch put me in a RUSH map with I dunno how many tickets (I used to think that RUSH mode was always gonna have 100 tickets for the attackers no matter what? Obviously not) but goddamn we were going for 60 minutes (the hell, these are "quick"matches?!) I actually managed to do my best game ever (which is not much since I suck), even an incredible (for me) 3 kill streak on 3 (!) minichopper thingie (dunno the name, lol) EACH one of them with 3 guys on board with my trusty MAW, which is like winning the lottery for a newbie: finally the match come to an end (we lost) and... disconnected. So I didn't get SHIT. No points boost, no ribbons, stats... Nada.
This was super frustrating. First time it happens (got disconnected 3 times in 9 hours of MP but always after 5 minutes or so) and yet it's already putting me off the game, if something like this happens again, I might give up already. It's already difficult enough playing with people who've got the best weapons/perks and shit AND are very skilled, coming to BF3 this late into the game, but going out empty handed after 80 minutes with that performance... I'll be playing with that bug in mind from now on, with the fear of "EA servers not available". Ugh. :/
Yeah, cryin' like a bitch -_-

Don't worry about it dude, it's all good. Sorry about the disconnect on Gulf of Oman. I think we would of won if the game didn't freeze. It didn't even let me switch teams either.
On an other note it took me 343 hours and 23 minutes but I have FINALLY made it to the 2.0 K/D ratio club woo woo!!
Awesome sauce!!

as long as it's you that got disconnected and not the server that crashed, you still get everything you earned before the disconnect.
Thanks. I'll give that a try today.

If there's one thing you learn about battlefield server admins it's that they're all supremely cuntish. Little tyrant babbies who throw their toys out of the pram and want to control everything.
Then again most of these servers have no communities built up around them, so these admins with small-dick syndrome get away with bullshit bans.

So yeah..
Quickmatch now gets me 700 ticket TDM games and there's seemingly no way to turn custom servers 'off' in search.
What.

I like the custom servers but they are a bit overboard with them. The search functionality needs to give us more finite control.
The attack Heli's now have the structural density of an eggshell. They are too easy to take down and take too long to respawn.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
They will be fine once DICE lets us turn off the pointless, OP jets.
DICE... I beg you. Your initial instincts were correct: consoles don't have enough players to support the jets -- they're detrimental to balance, my enjoyment, and the feeling of a hectic battlefield. The maps feel empty. The jets are poorly implemented.

I want an Off switch too
I can't believe DICE didn't add a filter for official servers. It's like they wanted to make sure they still had a boneheaded feature now that they patched quitting between matches.
Also, I'm of the opinion Quickmatch should only put you in official servers. Seems like you're risking a poor gaming experience for casual players otherwise.

Jumped on whoever on here rented a server and was running Wake 5 Flag 24/7.
The new balance of SMAWs destroying helis in one hit is almost cruel when an enemy jacks the Airfield heli and I immediately rocket them in retaliation from 10 ft. away.

Renewed the official gaf server for another month.
Feel free to change the map rotations when rebel's server dies out.
(seems like people prefer all-conquest or all-rush instead of mixed)

How do I know which one of the two happened to me?
I sure as shit didn't get anything, my stats (non battlelog) are the same and the classes didn't get any boost.
I got booted of, it said EA servers are not available and the battlelog feed said NO FEED in red.
