Seine Crossing has always had that issue. It usually only happens at the start of a match where it just froze a couple of times in a row and then you can normally again. Happens consistently on Rush in the first 15 seconds for me and others I've played with, it has nothing to do with your 360. I think in Conquest it can happen more often for whatever reason.
We barely scraped together a close win yesterday on Wake Island. Evolved went to town.

holy fucking shit guys. today I discovered the glory of playing with headphones. It's a new day, before today I didn't live. BF3 with headphones is just so...
the weapons, the klicks, the footsteps, errrything! And they're not even fancy headphones, they're just Superlux HD-681Bs (highly recommended in the headphones thread) which you can get for 15-20 quid.
I'm not sure which setting to choose, I keep switching between "headphones" and "war tapes" (enhanced stereo is on). Both are great.
playing with headphones = glorious. and your neighbour will thank you.

Thanks TH! I'm looking forward to playing with you and the rest of the gang again! =)
Some comments (I'm too lazy to quote):
On PS3 vs Xbox controllers: it is not only awful when you're changing fire modes, but when you're choosing spawn point. If you are not aware of it, you spawn with the wrong class.
About semi automatic mode: it is great for long distances. You can have a sniper-assault soldier.

Yep, yep.
Usually happens when turning certain corners (first LAV spawn on Rush).

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
They must have been so salty after that... they had us. We won that game in the last two mins and overcame a decent-sized ticket deficit. I wasn't even sure who won when the game ended. Just tried to do maximum damage in the gunner seat. Thank god for thermal optics that round.
We were lucky... our team was awful, but we had C capped. Which meant no enemy chopper or jets to worry about. Just the stingers. But we worked together real well to take them all out (great piloting!) and it was just a matter of taking them out faster than the bleed... photo finish.
That's one of those times when you can have pretty gaudy chopper numbers... couldn't have come at a better time.
We would've lost that round against Faceless in the cheesemobile if I didn't take the long way around to get his attention off the frontlines with Dan spawning on me. Dunno how Noise and Dan got them but after a hard-fought win on A we take B with like 25 tickets left. After that I think Faceless was too terrified to come to the frontlines since he basically let us just stroll into the last two bases of Norshal. Thanks, duder.
That clipping into walls glitch is still in?!

It never left, and is on all maps. The only good thing about it is sometimes their feet stick out of the other side and you can kill them that way.
Seine always has slowdown on certain spots, so much so that I have nicknamed the corner of the road between A and C "The Slowdown." And it will usually occur ~10 seconds after spawn no matter where you are.
Last night, I got banned from a server for killing the owner. PPH2 then hunted him down for a while, killing him repeatedly, taking his tags and teabagging him. He was banned. We left him "cry more" messages and he responded with profanity and teenage rage. I researched the kid and that seems to be his MO. His matches have an inordinate number of opposing players who do not finish the round.

Hahaha, that battlereport has three of you saying they banned you for kicking his ass. I believe it, but are all three of you on GAF?
They're not talking prone-clipping. They're talking clipping through the floor of Metro. That is a problem.

PPH2 is bbagwell here. I don't know the other guy, but I guarantee the other top player on our team who didn't finish was banned as well. What a little punk. I always laugh when I get banned from a server. There's no greater accolade.
Hmm, I don't know if I've seen that. I know you can somehow climb up in the rafters of Metro and be invisible. I've seen people spawning below the B flag on Bazaar; you can take the flag from below and kill people if they are prone, but it's very boring.

Ah, is that where that comes from? I thought it was because there's a slight grade, lol.

Yep. These are the Seine locations we have nicknames for:
The Slowdown
Van Garage
Big Garage
Magic Garage
Big Apartment
Left Bakery
Right Bakery
Bank
Intersection
Half-Garage
Brown Container
The Plaza
Plaza Steps
A-C Steps
B-D Steps
Flat Iron Building
A-B Tunnel
Russian Steps
Left Apartment
Right Apartment
Flower Shop
Candy Store
Pharmacy
Newsstand
I'm sure it's confusing and ridiculous to everyone else, but it really helps to orient yourself where the enemies are or where you're going. One of the reasons PPH2 and I do so well on that map.

nah, what happened is 3 people including 2 100s joined on your side making it 8 on 11 and then the tide turned pretty fast. i always stay behind the frontlines except for when i see the AMTRAK moving in or if an objective is armed.

Holy shit, never knew a BF3 match could take 2 hours!!!
Never been in 500 ticket servers with little to no bleed going on?
@Faceless: Sure, sure.
I know we gained a player advantage, but I dunno if that was the second set. We hard fought by me putting the Amtrack at A and then nearly dying repairing it to keep it alive. Dunno where you were then.

Any tips for Tank Destroyer? The light apc's/destroyer's don't seem to be damaging anything.
I also always end up disabling the vehicle as opposed to destroying it while enemies seem to one shot me.
I have Premium Edition, just started, Engineer Private 3rd class.

Run with reactive armor and guided shells. Smoke helps too.
Just be careful with C4 kamikazes.

The number of tickets is represented in % (for instance, 250 tickets is 100%). I just joined a 500% server on Metro, and it was 1750 tickets. The total number of tickets will be different over many maps, as 100% starting tickets are not universal.

This. We played a Rush defense on 500% Metro that took ninety-five minutes. At the first set.
I'm ashamed to say that I want to try this...attacking of course but against a skilled team.

Damn. That's like the Battlefield version of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
I wish I could play Rush defense on 500% Port Valdez, first set. There wouldn't be a scrap of foliage on the map after I was through.
The Faceless Master
Member
its a percentage, so 500% will be 375 (75x5) or 500 (100x5) tickets in Rush and anywhere from 500 (100x5) to 1750 (350x5) in CQ.
yeah, i had a few 2 hour games before on Grand Bazaar defense 400%-500%...
any snow map Rush Defense would be HILARIOUS
White Pass. Nelson Bay. Cold War!
Been having a lot of fun with BF3 lately, except the part where my 360 constantly locks up.
When I boot the game, sometimes it freezes while attempting to load up the main menu. Happened two times in a row last night.
It happens during games sometimes but not as much it feels like. It doesn't help that this game is inherently hitchy on the 360, as discussed with the Seine Crossing issue. Last time I played Rush on that map, running up to arm the first A M-Com, the LAV blows some crates around that are sitting near the objective. Once they started tumbling around the server nearly crashed. It went to about 2 frames per second for everyone in the game. I feel like this didn't happen before on this map, or maybe I just didn't notice it as much.

Speaking of BC2 and destruction...

Is the game installed to the HDD? I was having similar issues at the main menu until I uninstalled and ran it from the DVD drive.
Yep, installed to the hard drive. I can manage it freezing up sometimes on the menu if it means faster loading times for maps. Not sure how much of a difference it really is.
Also my poor 360 is on it's last legs. Anything that doesn't require that DVD drive to spin is a good thing.

That happens to me as well. I have an old arcade model, so I have to choose whether to access the built-in memory, hard drive, or cloud storage. After that it would freeze and I had to reset it. I thought I resolved it by not having my controller charger plugged in because I thought maybe it would think it was a usb drive, and it seems to work but I still get freezes only not nearly as frequently.

The difference isn't huge. 3-4 seconds at most, but it still loads quick enough to get into a jet on a map like Operation Firestorm.

DICE heard PS3GAF's outcry for help, so they created an AI based on data collected from my sessions on the 360.
You're welcome, PS3GAF.

I played for the first time in quite some time and fell right back into the groove of things. Like riding a bike I guess. Canals still sucks!
I agree with you. But I was thinking that they should extend the time it lasts to explode when you extend the attackers tickets.
