How do you get that ribbon?

You have to get 4 kills while the enemy is arming an MCOM. Sounds easy but it's not!

Played a 2 against 8 match that included a high level clan in Tehran highway with NoStyle. Nice matchmaking Dice, throughout the whole not a single soul joined our team. SMH.
Next round the game balances the team by setting an even count and the high level clan gets scared and quits...pussies.

The carbines for the engineers are good no doubt because the rifles are shorter versions of ARs but even the M4 lacks at distance. I have been sniping with my AK and 7x scope and I have been very successful, not so much with any carbine rifle. Just yesterday I got a headshot on a sniper at least 300 meters out with my m16.
Ugh. I still need to get that ribbon and I need to set up that lobby.
According to BF3stats.com there are only a few thousand simultaneous players online:
PC: 30k
PS3: 40k
360: 43K
How accurate are these numbers?

My enjoyment of the engineer guns varies greatly with the quality of the connection. Sometimes the A-91 and G36c are like hot knifes through butter, while other times it's like using an airsoft gun. Another sad fact of BF3 map design, is that the maps that make the most sense for engineer play, are also the biggest most barren maps, requiring the highest average distance for a kill. Super annoying.

Use SCAR until they nerf it, it does 34 points of damage vs the 25 on other guns at close range!
these favourite ribbons really are those that require changing your playstyle,
suppression devolves into "i'll just shoot at enemies, but i wont kill anyone"
mcom defense devolves into "i will not defend mcoms until someone is surely arming them"
nemesis devolves into "i'll ignore the whole match and try to hunt down this one noob that i can always kill"
(or like some say that you will just get them eventually by blind luck
)

Ah -- that's an unfortunate date for me. Fuck.
Could someone with BattleLog access post what does it say here:

On November 30th, we are planning a client update of Battlefield 3 on PlayStation 3. This update will be accompanied by a scheduled maintenance period for all formats.
It has a list of fixes as well, it's pretty damn long, but here:
Hell yes!!! Way sooner than I was expecting!
Thank God Dice wasn't dumb enough to drop it near Christmas!
I'll still have to buy it though, as my copy (pre ordered more than a month before release) was not limited edition...
Fuck EA.
Holy shit! Best BF3 news day evar!!! Lol!
Wait what???? I thought this fix was in the patch!
If we're not getting the deadzone, sound and voice chat fix in this patch this shit is worthless!
Also, it's confirmed I won't be using the igla/stinger ever again...it's hard enough as it is to take down a good pilot with it, and then they decide it's a good idea to nerf the damage? You need at least 2 shots just to make the pilot dump his flares, as soon as he does this, if he's smart he'll probably be out of range...
Edit: Also how hard it could be to add a little "A", "B" or "C" to the flag markers in the hud? I hope they fix the flags marker too...

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I think the M1911 is better than most rifles in the game. Really didn't need a buff.
Tac-lights, dazzle effect from lasers, and thermal scopes need to be completely cut or seriously rebalanced.
And give me advanced analog settings you jerks!
Seriously, no controller input log or broken VOIP fixes? Why are they pushing through game balance patches when these are still broken over a month after release.
Also, what's with lowering damage on Stingers? Aircraft are already next to impossible to take down if they have IR flares and now they take less damage per missile too. If anything they should be increasing the reload time on IR flares.

that was never going to be in this patch. that and the IRNV nerf were always for 'patch 2' or later.
Same reaction I had when looking at that list.

Gotta eat something and do an assignment... but sometime tonight, probably.
So sick of frigging flashlights and lasers and thermal vision and lock on every two seconds... and bad controls. And no destruction. And bad weapons.
I'll go back to BC2 and not miss anything about BF3 but the clamber animation. DICE can keep the rest of it.

Are you fucking shitting me DICE? No fix for the fucking horrible lag/deadzone acceleration? It's been over a fucking month already and still no god damn fix. Incredible...
I tried updating when I saw you pop on. It's wanting 200minutes and increasing for BC2's 1.05 patch. :lol Yeah, fuck that.
I'll walk into BC1 with you, though.

Am I correct in assuming that these fixes/balances will make their way to the 360? Or have they already?
Where is the fix for the in-game mic issues that we have been complaining since beta???? WTF DICE!!!! you got to be kidding me
:/
They're coming along with the PS3 patch. It's currently: PC patch->Consoles get that patch, just like BC2.

Spanks, man.
Unrelated: I just started playing as Support and recently unlocked C4. The risk/reward for C4-ing a tank is huge; it's turning me into a reckless bastard, but I can't help myself. As soon as I hear the grinding of a tank's innards > d-pad right > left stick click.
Seriously, I think they've already figured out the cause with help from the community (mic stutter being linked to how many in a squad having one active). Now it's just a matter of putting out a small patch to fix these two issues. Shame that it'll be at least a few weeks due to the cert process.

Vietnam was pretty empty, i need to knock out those last 2 trophies!
silver and gold gonna be tough with nobody to shoot!

I'm surprised you didn't do them when the iron was hot.
I still need to boost the insane rewards (and get six grenade launcher kills for Assault Patches. Which are damn near impossible) in BC1. Finish the 10K2 kills trophy (probably going to be tough with 1943/BC2/BF3 all having a population) and get the 20 squad spawns in 1 life (IMPOSSIBLE!) to get my BC1 platinum. >_>
Mix of both in the server options, IIRC. Default is all the maps in the same rotation so vanilla+B2K+whatever expansions after B2K as well.

This game was fun and challenging, just how I like them. At the end I held that chopper pilot around A by disabling him, then he recovered (was probably using fire extinguisher) and then I ran out of rockets but still kept locking on into him to annoy him
Then afterwards in Op Metro I went super stealth mode and got to A fairly quickly! After that it was over and those level 45s started to quit :lol

Has DICE actually acknowledged the dead zone/controller issues? This game launch been absolutely terrible for me. I built a new pc with a 580 and 2600k and it runs the game great fof the most part, but there is some issue where I can't launch mp games, so I picked up the PS3 version. I can play online with PS3, but the controls are almost as bad as fucking Killzone 2 molases bullshit.
I don't get how they can test games like this and U3 with such terrible dead zone/acceleration issues for 8-10 hours a day and it still releases like that.

Me too. I love being a one man tank destroyer crew. Whether its hand-placed or a jihad jeep, there's nothing better than watching the points pile up after C4ing a tank.
