Death Valley and Alborz Mountain are ok.

Armored Shield and Bandar Desert are great!

I entered a server where my side was getting spawn killed by jets and helicopters (Enemy somehow had ours too). Doing the obvious thing, I got the stinger missile and shot down a jet...

not 15 seconds later I'm banned.

<3 custom servers.

Where is this, on Wake? I wanna go find it for myself.

The new patch sucks so bad. Dice fucking nerfing vehicles

And now people are banning stingers/iglas because of it

 

[Lakitu]

I once entered a server and got kicked. I didn't even set my loadout yet. I also got banned once for setting off an MCOM too early lol.

I've been kicked plenty of times for killing admins, those are the worst.

 

[-Stranger-]

The game seems fine to me after the patch.
Only noticeable thing was gunners in the Heli not being able to use flares.

I was playing the Back to Karkand maps last night, good fun.

Yeah, same. I did notice last night that when any aircraft use rocket pods however, tanks die pretty much instantly even with reactive armour (I'm talking one pass in a jet/helicopter and you're dead). I'm 90% sure it wasn't as bad before, even though the patch notes don't say anything about it.

 

[Canis lupus]

Fucking custom servers.

I'm playing by the rules set by admin, everything's fine. Then get kicked. The fuck? Are there any official servers with 300% tickets?

 

[TCRS]

Why no new tanks? Getting tired of Abrams and T-90... what about the German Tiger and British tanks? Modern Combat had more tanks then BC2 and BF3...

other than that I can't see Armoured Kill being fun on consoles. I wish I had a gaming PC :/

 

[-Silver-]

tanks die pretty much instantly even with reactive armour .

RA only ever protected you from RPG/SMAW, mine, C4, tank shells and non laser designated guided missiles. It doesn't protect you from laser designated guided, APFSDS-T, HE rounds from IFVs or AMTRAC, rocket pods, chopper gun, Jet cannon rounds and the repair tool.

 

[TheSeks]

Tank Superiority? More like ENEMY UAV MAV IS ONLINE Superiority. :3

You guys were saying about choppers being shit?

 

[Rebel Leader]

EDIT: nvm

 

[Kak.efes]

EDIT: nvm

I joined the game after the first set of MCOM's.

And since when is 40 kills as a pilot not much?

 

[JJD]

How you're dealing with the chopper changes BK?

I like how you can deploy the ECM after the enemy has already launched a missile at you and it will miss.

 

[Relix]

Fucking Dice and their massive update sizes. My dedicated 8GB Thumb Drive for BF3 is suffering hard

 

[Kak.efes]

Depends on the map and mode. Generally on the few rush maps which allow choppers, pretty great, but that's primarily because I know the terrain so well, so I can obstruct most lock on attempts. Conquest is another story. Engaging enemy choppers is just stupid now. You end up both dying (unless the other guy is truly awful), or at the very least, destroying each other's chopper before bailing. There should be an unwritten rule amongst pilots not to engage one another.

As for the new maps, only Alborz is conducive to any type of flying.

 

[Lakitu]

Sick to death of lag. Shoot enemy four times clean with SPAS-12, get a couple of shots back and die. Fuuuuck.

 

[No_Style]

It might be a placebo but being to B2K maps' FPS seem smoother to me after the patch

 

[tatsuki]

I'm curious if anyone here has stuck to the same soldier class since the game released, and how it worked out for them. I mean really minimal stats for the other 3 classes

 

[Maddocks]

went engineer and never looked back honestly. Because whenever I switch to another class no one does anything about tanks. Tank parks at an M-Com everyone pretends it doesn't exist, so I have to jump back to engineer to deal with it and just never switch back.

I try to move to other classes but, I cant do it. Engineer just fits me.

Do you ever get sick of it? I've jumped around the classes quite a bit. I use Engineer the most as well. Lately I've been kind of wanting to just stick to just one class for now on though.

Stepped your game up. 39 kills though, so you aren't doing the 50 that was the norm pre-nerf.

That said, good that you adjusted: The flares being in the gunner seat was bananas on launch and people need to adjust. :/

I play to the demands of the game. It turns out the Engineer is really useful in a lot of situations. If it's a more infantry oriented CQ match, I'll throw out the Medic. I use Support and Recon in defensive games.

One thing to think about when getting kicked by admins: Maybe it wasn't what you did or didn't do, but just that the server was full and they wanted friends to join?

Possible, but more than likely butthurt admins.

yeah except most admins do that by kicking people low on the scoreboards...

 

[tatsuki]

Possible, but more than likely butthurt admins.

Yea, It can go both ways I guess. Usually It's because they're "butthurt" though. I've been kicked multiple times recently just because the admin or admins friend couldn't get into the good seat of the ac-130 before me. I guess the second seat isn't good enough. I got kicked another time for apparently not knowing how to use the flares in the ac-130 as well... -_-

It's a shame we can't play those maps in conquest without the ac-130.

 

[TheSeks]

It's a shame infantry only isn't "ground vehicles and infantry only" but alas... DICE are boneheaded.

Got my 10 mobile artillery kills on Sunday, BTW. Done with armored kill outside of dicking around in Rush. But I'mma going back to BC1 to get my last 1500 kills for the platinum when my connection is good instead of BF3. :/

Small patch coming:

These updates are expected to go live either late this week (Thursday/Friday) or early next week (Monday/Tuesday) for all platforms. Its to early to say when yet.

List of things we are fixing / tweaking:

Mobile Artillery
The Mobile artillery&#8217;s &#8220;Proximity Defense&#8221; unlock is causing players to &#8220;suicide&#8221; when being used in both vehicles with higher reprorate in the US HIMARS.

Gunship in Rush
Defenders have been having a hard time winning the last week and we are making tweaks to even out the battlefield =)
The Gunship will respawn after 90 seconds instead of 60 seconds in Rush after being destroyed.

Alborz Mountains Conquest Large (PC only)
On conquest large there is a bug where the Russian attack helicopter doesn&#8217;t show up in the spawn menu.
It is however spawned in so either drive down to it or use a airplane as a &#8220;spawner&#8221; closer to it.

Have a great week and I will see you online!
(I will be hanging on the Webhallen servers =)

Gunship in Rush

Just fucking give it to the defenders

 

[TheSeks]

And drop the paratroop option in Rush. Gunship for defense would allow easy spawn camping, though... :/ Give them more armor but the longer spawn could help, can't really say right now.

Has it stopped them from spawn camping defenders?

 

[Dreamgazer]

The 30 seconds extra spawn time doesn't solve the issue.
At least not the very first set.

If troops can still paradrop in faster than defenders can get to their base - you might as well just give away the first base.

 

[TheSeks]

Touche. But Paratroops being gone in Rush would solve a lot of the issues.

i guess their "metrics" must have shown the defenders getting absolutely CREAMED for them to change that so fast.

still... not enough!

indeed. it has to be a longer respawn than that, plus it has to spawn the first time like 30 seconds after the game starts, not immediately.

and i'm still not sure that would be enough. and even no paratroops still means people can spawn on a gun and bail.

 

[Rebel Leader]

ahhh fuck...

I'm not able to play Bf3.. I select multiplayer and the screen dims.... nothing else

EDIT: and still happening fuck
Deleted game data, rebuilt database, now reinstalling Bf3\

EDIT 2: I see PSN is doing maintenance. That could be the reason why

 

[TheSeks]

If they're spawning only to bail then they ain't using the gun.

 

[The Faceless Master]

If they're spawning only to bail then they ain't using the gun.

yeah, but there's 1 awesome gun and 1 not-so-awesome gun... guess which one people will bail from?

 

[TheSeks]

The awesome gun?

Spoiler

They're both good. Haters gonna hate.

Tale number 384 of admin abuse.

Was playing Seine Crossing CQ, alternating between engineer with a 1014 when I saw a tank and a recon with a sks and a x4 scope.
Things are going rather well. Get a message by some random dude saying "7x".
Don't even bother asking what he means and continue to play.
The clan on the other side calls in reinforcements since they are getting their butt kicked.
After some team stacking and shitty tactics, they take the lead.
Then I get another message talking me this is my last warning and I should put a x7 scope on my sks or they would ban me.
Nothing like that was even in the server log.

Decided to tell him to go fuck himself and left the server myself as I was tired playing with these kinds of loser anyway.
Such a wonderful community this game has!
Can't wait for November 6. Pfff

Their heads would probably explode if they saw me with my SKS / QBU-88 RDS.
