play the game. i've done it several times during the regular course of play.
that works too!
Got it, empty tank that was occupied before seems to work. 
Now to get sniper killsand a 150 carbine headshot, which seems to elude me no matter what the fuck I do. :/
Just sniper rifle kills now for the last bolt since I got the scoped Xbox. Then I'm done with the Aftermath achievements. Yay.

New maps are fun.
Lost more than I won (due to stupid randoms and LOL WHAT'S A KIT ITEM!? *doesn't throw it out!*), but it's good to be "back"(? hopefully) and getting a positive KDR with no bullshit latency issue getting in my way. I knew I couldn't be that rusty.
But on the negative side I gotta spray a lot more in CQC since I'm not as sharp with ADS as I used to be.

I dream about that every night...
Too bad that you're back right when the game is almost unplayable to me. Besides my PING issues and my other ISP problems (disconnects on 60% to 70% of the games I play lately) the last patch royally fucked controls to me...
I'm glad most people are not having issues with control lag anymore, but I'm one of the few who seems to have the problem worsened by the latest patch...
Aftermath seems great to play Rush...I miss BF... :-(
Feels bad man.
Just downloaded the new maps.... What the fuck is going on with the lag? It's literally unplayable for me. It wasn't this bad before.
To put it in perspective, the ping bar is full and while playing any other game I can stream videos just fine... (not that I do all the time. Just proof that my connection can handle the bandwidth).
Egh

I have not noticed any kind of increased latency as of late.
Definitely really enjoying the new maps. Best map pack since Back to Karkand. Just some really excellent design.

Does anyone have (or know where to find) some top down pics of the various maps (like the mini-map)? I'm after Caspian Border in particular but it would be great to have them all.
Here.
Top down views for all vanilla BF3 maps on all specific game modes.
As far as I know there are no top down views of the maps made available by any of the DLC expansions. Dice never bothered making then.
But you can find top down views of the B2K maps by searching for the original BF2 maps on google. There are differences between the versions but the basic layout is the same.
Edit: You can find the B2K maps on the site I linked, but there are no Close Quarters, Armored Kill or Aftermath maps unfortunately.
Dice should make those maps available for Premium members instead of giving us shitty videos and useless "guides".

Kharg Island Conquest, game starts
I take the jet, get off to take C, then go to take B.
This Growler from OUR team comes to B, bails out and roadkills me and teabags me.
He then proceeds to attempt the same shit throughout the rest of the round.
He tries to kill me again, misses, I get on the Growler and he jumps as the passenger (probably to take over the wheel after I'm done driving it).
I drive to A flag, full speed towards the gas tank, I bail out...he then realizes what I"m trying to do, bails out but it's too late for him, the explosion from the gas tank gets him.
Boa and I proceed the teabag him.

How much am I missing out on by not having Battlefield Premium or any of the map packs? Do they make the game any better than the base game?
Feel like I've only got half a game with all the expansion packs they came out with.
It's weird coming back to this game after not playing it for a while. The whole package just feels like a bit of a mess. This game is pretty damn ugly (multiplayer at least) on the 360, Jets feel awkward using a pad, and the game itself really doesn't feel like it belongs on a console IMO. It's just weird to me. I loved and played the shit out of Bad Company 2 on the 360 and I still think BC2 feels like a much better game overall.

Oh, you're playing right now? I'm gonna shave and then hop on after letting the PS3 cool down a bit. I'll probably play 1-4 rounds depending on long they take if you want to play some Rush with me in a little bit. I dunno if my connection will hold, but it's been solid today after they fixed the degrade issue after they fixed it Tuesday so... *knock on wood* my nightmare maybe over.

I'll probably be playing later tonight around 8 or 9 EST. Right now I'm uploading some big files for a friend so I can't play any online games =/

Each map pack has something completely different to offer. Each of the new maps play differently than the base game. Most of the maps are really fun to play. If you are thinking of buying premium right now, just buy the premium edition on amazon when its on sale. I believe it is currently $40 which is less than buying premium alone.
That was brilliant! He probably jumped into the passenger seat so you couldn't roadkill him back, he didn't count on the gas tank though lol! I think I had just joined you for that round, was there an ongoing beef between you and him in the previous rounds or was he just fucking with anyone he could? Did you hear him later in that round? He joined our squad and was talking shit for a few minutes, I didn't have my mic on but I could hear him through the TV.
OH SHIT! That's hilarious!
Post his name here, you won't believe how many lurkers GAF Battlefield threads have!
I posted some hatemail I got once when we were still playing BC2 and a few days later I received another message from the same guy saying his lawyer was in contact with Sony to sue me because I was spreading lies about him on some blog and he got more than 50 messages from random people harassing and making fun of him! He was sooo pissed! Lol!
That's kinda creepy.
I know Demize stalks the thread due to Fersis and the subtitle (nod to BF2, granted) and James Bond premium dogtag (that I gotta unlock).
One of the requirements for the James Bond tag is using the MP-443. So they read my post about feeling like Craig's Bond with it in BC2.Dreamgazer

How I feel reading this thread half-blinded:
How I feel when I see the Knicks vs. Lakers Game

i can't believe i missed double xp and haven't played in almost a week. NeoPAF taking over!
Ugh, lost more than I won. I really want to come back Faceless. ;___; Trying to win by myself is futile when half the team won't put beacons down or at least attempt to DEFEND the tank.
When Fersis and Olimpia joined we won like 1-2 and then lost like 1-3 of the games. Ugh.

Nah, he was just fooling around trying to troll people. Right after I got roadkilled by him I switched squads briefly to tell him he was a loser. At that point I was really worried because it was early into the round and the other team looked to be pretty good but in the end we ended winning comfortably so it was all good. And yeah, towards the end he joined our squad and started calling us names lol
I'll be playing tomorrow if you guys want to play at like 6:30PM or so until like 9:30-10PM.
We really gotta turn that losing streak around. Makes me feel bad and angry. I know I'm better than that shit. :|

Nah, we only lost one round but we could have won IF OUR TEAM USED GRENADES at that very last armed mcom. I threw one and killed like three dudes disarming, then I got killed and saw more people going for the disarm, they used smoke to disarm and our team went 'derp I can't see anything thus we can't shoot derp'. It was the very last mcom too so I was REALLY upset.

The switch teams option is very nice when playing solo.
Well, yes, if you're not joining Rush 21-23 player servers that fill up before you get the chance to abuse that.
@Olimpia: Yeah, I saw. I kept throwing Spot Bolts into that area to see but they'd tag me before I could get in there and I'd throw a grenade in but not near the crate and hide only to get clipped. So frustrating. And that attack round that Half-Life joined on pissed me off. We were at the last set, I snuck in the back after taking him out with the knife as he spawned in. (I think) and couldn't get a sniper over the cover to B so I tried to throw a grenade and completely failed. My fault for going sniper because I'm trying to unlock the last bolt but it's making me eat shit constantly because I'm not totally an assault sniper. I set up, I spot, I counter-snipe. Support role basically when in that class.
However, I did get two tanks with the Xbox HE (C4) bolts by myself. Made me feel bad ass to tag them, run around, tag them, run around, tag them. DISABLED. Tag them in the ass again. BOOM, DESTROYED.

U mean the battlelog forum?
I miss the old UK forum for BF, where did all those guys go? Battlelog?
They're still there, if EA didn't shut the old boards down. I know they were there earlier this year when I was still playing BC1.
EA shut the BC1 stats/site down and re-purposed it into an ad on Battlefield.com. Pretty heartbreaking.
I bought the game on the 360 new, got online pass and B2K for free. Only DLC I've bought is Close Quarters. But I need space. I have downloaded Multiplayer Updates 1-4, but not 5. My roommate only needed to download Multiplayer Update 4 to play online when he bought the game recently. Can I delete all the old updates, download JUST Multiplayer Update 4 and then the B2K DLC again(without having to pay for it)? I'm trying to get Close Quarters off the harddrive for now, basically. It'll save me 2GB's.

Multiplayer Update 5
Title Update - 183mb
Are the only things you need to play (plus your DLC). You can re-download B2K from the in-game store.

One time I was on Metro D and we defended last sets B to win after giving up A after 50 tickets or so. It was a 500% server. Probably the greatest single M-COM defense I've ever been a part of.
Even if I never actually bought B2K? Its not in my download/purchase history or anything. I'm scared if delete all the multiplayer updates, it'll make me purchase B2K to play it, even though I got it free with the Limited Edition.
If you got it for free, you own it. No matter what. You aren't going to have to rebuy it since the map pack was included with your limited edition online pass. You're safe.
Cool. This'll free up some much needed room.
Thanks guys.
EDIT: Ok one more question - do I need the Rent-A-Server DLC? I dont buy my own servers or anything.

Don't delete the Online Pass (tied to B2K) download in Storage. If you did it should be available in your download history.
Not needed.

Yes, battlelog likes magically losing the equipment stats then bringing some of them back, then losing them again. I don't remember exactly when it happened the last time but something tells me it was around the last DLC. It eventually came back only to be lost again recently.
Excellent. Deleted MP Update(not numbered), MP Update 3, MP Update 4 and the Rent-A-Server download.
Downloading MP Update 5 right now and will download the B2K content afterwards. Altogether, should save me 3+ GB's.
Thanks.

I'd love to play against the GAF clan. GAF vs SAS, yeah, would be awesome.
