Theran Highway, Grand Bazar and Sharqi suck so much ass that I mostly quit as soon as I can, if they are the first map of the server I join.

Well, that person's profile says "PS Network User ID: kingles08" so I could make a wild guess, he/she referred to PSN, but I do understand that some people can't afford to lose around 1,6 seconds of their precious lifes to check that kind of things.
Oh when you've spent enough time on these forums you'll know that not everyone lists their ID's on the profile page.
Its polite to let us know what your SEN/XBL handle is and on what platform. If you're really nice you will even tell us where you are playing from, since the timezones on earth are a bit of a mystery when saying "can anyone play online this evening?"

Uh...what morons use quick match and then complaing about it? It takes like 1.5 seconds to click Server Browsers and choose the map of your liking. Really. Don't complain, grow a brain. Yes, it might only take .5 seconds just to click Quick Match...is 1 fucking second that important to you?

I want to fly with you one of these days Faceless. Can't get that 6 airkills with randoms

That and winning a squad rush is nigh impossible with randoms!
Winning anything with randoms is impossible somedays.

You can actually pick any map from quick match as well.
Lucked into a random squad of 3 clan members and won my first sq rush just now hah. Just air warfare ribbon to go! :S

phew, got that air ribbon thanks olimpia or boatack or whoever was flying
now i just need that ridiculous mcom defender ribbon...
as for squad rush and squad dm, join a random game, first check the scoreboard, if your squad is losing or not keeping up, just quit and find a new game until you find a good team vs 3 noob-teams or something (or ask GAF to help)

So for the first time I just played conquest mode...it looks really awesome (and the maps are HUGE) but damn I suck at it...it's particularly humiliating to receive a tank shot right in the face, lol.

Well, that is true. I just take it in a way, that if they don't add specifics, they just don't want it enough to happen. Even though I also agree with you, that it would be very polite and time saving to add that kind of information, if you are asking company to play with you.
Does GAF btw have some sort of a "meta tag" for BF3 (Xbox) that I could add and find people from here to play with? I mean I am most likely trying to get my ass out of bed on Tuesday at 10 am (Finland UTC +2), 8 am (UK, UTC 0), Monday-Tuesday Midnight (for example California, UTC -8) and it would be easy to have many people from here on a one place to check if they are online.
Oh and what do you think, is it ok to check own friends' friends list to see if someone is playing if the friend itself is offline? I hope that the sentence made any sense.
The sad words of truth.
Yes, but people with brains don't use Quick Match if they can help it.
Its EXTREMELY important! lol, but i was more so just being stubborn and wanted it to actually do its job and cycle the maps. simmer down buddy.

what stick layout do you jet pilots use? I just switched to Legacy so I can roll and change pitch better but it's gonna take awhile to learn a new layout.

Join the 360 Platoon and send some friend invites for active players, http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391306302802/
it's just a shame that the Battlelog is not integrated very well on consoles, can't join platoon members straight.

Who manages the invites? Sent one last week but nothing's happened yet.

Any word on when the next patch will roll out?
The MAV riding and frag round spam have worn me out of playing until they're fixed.

Battlefield 3: When Should You Flare / Flaring Tutorial - please watch before boarding.
Yeah. I understand that now. Sometimes I accidentally, as the gunner, pop the flare when I mean to fire the gun
Cuz the flare button is reversed for the gunner and pilot.Old Gimlet Eyes

Pretty sad this isn't common knowledge. Even more sad that DICE refuses to put in a tutorial mode to let people know about this stuff. So many things I had to find out about BF3 from watching videos, that should be explained in the game.
Nothing kills me more than when a random gunner does not flare. Then when he is the pilot, he suddenly knows how. Just as bad is when the gunners knows there is an enemy helicopter right in front of us, because I spotted it, yet he proceeds to shoot targets on the ground. Ugh.
Especially considering they put a tutorial in 1943, a $15 downloadable game. In addition to lacking the unlocks higher level players have, this puts newer payers at more of a disadvantage. I think that this somewhat harms the experience for everyone. It craps the game for experienced players who get stuck on a team with players still learning things that could have been taught in a tutorial and it sucks for the newer players who become easy pickings while they try to learn the game.

Twice in as many games I've been thrown out before 30 seconds is up. Last chance until its patched

Sometimes you still get hit by the enemy rocket if you do it at the exact moment the video suggests. The only flare that works with no problems is the jet flare. With choppers is best to use it a bit earlier.
I joined the platoon. Now I just need to go through people and send some friends request at some point. ^__^

I hope BC3(when/if) has a tutorial... I also hope they have humor in the game....

yeah, if you're close enough to it's point of origin, the missile will still hit you because it's only repelled a certain amount relative to it's forward momentum.
many of the choices made for controller configuration in the game baffle me.

good for you but it isn't working for me either. 4 months after launch and still no fix.
Like how going into 3rd person in a vehicle is sometimes the left and other times the right stick? lol
true, how is this even possible, the squad system used to work properly on BC2. Is really that hard to fix it ? If i want to join as a squad full of 4 players, just find a goddamn server with 4 free slots available on the SAME TEAM.
or a big patch is going to be release that will fix all the problems currently in the game.. or, we will not see a fix for this anytime soon.

Hey! 360 user here. I am going to a friends house tonight and want to give him an introduction to BF3. Is there a way we can play with his profile online using the Karkand map pack that I own?
From what I understand I can find a trial code here: https://onlinepass.battlefield.com/ just so we can play with his Gamertag. I was going to copy the big update to my USB stick and copy that over. I am wondering if my profile is signed onto player 2 if it will consider it purchased and allow him to play online with it?
Thanks for any responses.

Just when I thought we might get some news on a PS3 input lag issue being fixed it looks like we're back on to blaming peoples TVs again (despite the fact BC2 worked just fine).
The video about changing your sensitivity up then back down looks like it may actually improve the situation (assuming it's not fake). If it's true then surely DICE should have enough information to work out how to patch in a permanent fix soon.

I would say bring your console or put your profile on a USB stick and then sign in and redownload the content on his 360.
