I dunno, it's not bad on Metro Rush first set to counter C4 on crates. Of course, I lagged that game and we lost because people kept arming and no one wanted to rush into the building/throw grenades and hold it while I was lagging but hey... Calion and I tried. (And then I swore not to play the game until either Vehicles DLC and/or connection is fixed. Whichever first.)

IMHO the only thing the mortar is still useful for is taking out enemies that are entrenched in a small area (obviously without a roof over their head) - too much open space to cover in Metro.
i only use the mortar when:
*attacking a heavily defended "B" flag on Grand Bazaar Conquest (dropping shells inside the courtyards and next to the flag) or
*attacking "B" m-com (first set) on Seine Crossing Rush. we all know that m-com can be a pain in the ass, especially due to the machine-gunners on the container next to the m-com: mortar them.
mortaring "B" flag is the most effective way to use the post patch mortar IMHO. due to the intense firefights, RPGs and grenades that are flying around that flag, there's a high concentration of wounded enemies you can finish off with the mortar and score double- and triple-kills.

Well, you're helping the team by clearing the surrounding area.
So the opposing team will feel discouraged and blinded from staying around the m-com.
Not rewarding at all, but sometimes useful
I don't suppose anyone grabbed an extra 1943 ps3 code from http://1943redemption.battlefield.com ? I'm LTTP on PS3 BF3, and was hoping to get the 1943 download too, but the site is down/redirects now.

Got B2k and CQS? No
Got B2k but not CQS? ehh... depends if you like small shitty maps. (Yes, I think they are horrible)
Got neither? Yes
Forgot to mention, I have B2k.
That's alot of stuff coming out though and it'd probably get me to come back again and again.

THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
CQS was interesting... and you save at-least $5 compared to buying them separately
This.
Mortar is really great on the first set of Seine on the B mcom if the whole enemy team in entrenched there.
Has anyone here bought Premium on a PSN sub-account?
I normally buy everything on my main account, but play games using a sub (which is also what is linked to my battlelog account). So if I just add funds to the main account, but then buy Premium from my sub-account's store, will everything link correctly (i.e. queue priority, double XP events, etc.)?
I understand that I'll be able to play the maps on any account on my ps3, but I just want to make sure that the extra premium features can be linked to my sub-account.

BROFIST?
Neat maps that are mired in shit modes (I like Conquest but I absolutely LOATHE what they've done with it on consoles past BC1 and 1943) and low player count.

*likes conquest*
*doesn't like wake island 5-flag*
smh
Wait, what?
I like Wake Island 5-flag. Just not BF3's rendition of it.
I like 1943's "run for the border"/players start at the carrier and have to boat/plane it across the map to take as many points as they can quickly before it becomes a fire-fight.
I don't like BF3's flag placement too much (it's natural to BF1943/1942's flag placement but a little... off) nor do I like it being Conquest Assault. It kinda spits in the face of normal/run for the border Conquest's spirit.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
If you're trying to be a team player and cover objectives... you'll usually be killed from the flank, or behind, or by guys you didn't see/wouldn't expect to be in a certain area at a certain time.
It can be frustrating and generally highlights how you can't really count on teammates to cover each other (best you can hope for is a revive - which gaf is pretty good about) just part of the game.
Sometimes helps if people are on the mic calling out contacts...
But playing the objective wins games. So I'll take 5-6 cheesy deaths if it means top squad and a win.
Also... this is the console thread.
Oops didn't realize lol thx!

You're goddamn right. I loved getting into a plane, going up to stale distance (was there even a stall limit in 1943?) bailing. Free-falling for a minute, parachute deploying and melee stabbing someone in the face and taking a flag while the rest of my team was on the other side of the island battling people that were trying to defend their two flag lead.
That shit is AWESOME.
Was about to ask something like that. I have Battlefield 3 on PC but a) I'm way too shit at it, PC players are way above my level and b) My PC doesn't run it that well, so I thought of picking up the Xbox version.
Would I still get to play some matches with the vanilla version or do I absolutely need Premium to be able to play online? If that's the latter I might avoid it, since the $50 paywall is way above me.

Wake Island was made for Conquest Assault, the 1943 Conquest Head-On variant is an outlier.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Still, 1943 is the best version
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
on the ps3, I still see vanilla map rotations.
Let me double check sometime later today.
1943 head-on >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BF3's.

fixed
Pretty much. How DICE doesn't use it, I'll never know.
that's what i meant... first "B" mcom on Seine, not Bazaar.
same here. CQ and B2K maps aren't that popular IMHO.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
possibly because of the AA guns
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
There's a difference
1943 AA had a limit hit range
BF3's AA has a much longer hit range.
They did. Good pilots were able to avoid them, but you could still lure them close by jumping in when they got close enough or after they made their pass. The AA at the village and the signal station were good for taking out the bombing raid.
Armored Kill will be available in September. PlayStation 3 Premium owners will be the first to get it on September 4.

Lol at aftermath... yeah this is what the maps would look like if we still actually had destruction in the game. Since we don't anymore, we'll cosmetically change the maps for you so it feels like we still do!!! That'll be $15 bitches.

"sorry bitches, we're releasing battlefield 4 instead!"
The only effective way to take down air alone is using a plane/chopper yourself. or the stationary AA gun in the base.
that said, it's easy to kill a chopper with 2 people.
