I started a match in the plane yesterday on 360, and it wasn't until the end of the match ~25 minutes later that I finally died. Myself and a guy on the other team in their plane flew around dogfighting without being able to get each other below 50% the entire game. It was absolutely ridiculous.
It finally ended about 30 seconds before the match was over, when we ran into each other and I got a kill/suicide.

I've tried that too, but your chances of actually hitting someone are pretty slim unless they're an idiot and are standing right out in the open.
I wonder if it's any better with a joystick - cause while it's easier to pilot with a controller then a keyboard, it's still a huge pain in the ass.

I spent a few more hours playing multiplayer last night and I'm absolutely loving it. As a huge fan of BF:BC2's rush mode I'm finding a lot to like about BF3's version of rush. And yeah, every map is better than Metro.
I'll be honest, I never really got into the traditional Battlefield games. I owned 1942 and Vietnam but I didn't play them much, although I definitely see the appeal and understand why people loved them. However, I did play BF:BC2 extensively on PS3 and it's one of my favorite MP shooters of all time. The thing is, excluding the lack of goofy characters I can't find anything in BF3 that makes it look like it wouldn't have been just as well off with the name BF:BC3. Again, this isn't a bad thing at all from my perspective, just an observation.
I also started the campaign last night. It feels pretty linear and derivative but I'm still finding it to be a lot of fun because hey, I enjoy FPS campaigns!

It feels like there's a controller delay playing this on PS3. I'm using a sixaxis controller and there will be a movement in delay or any other action for about 0.8 seconds or so...
I tried plugging the controller too but it still persisted.

Anybody else with this "problem"?

GAME mode on?
I have two year old samsung lcd and without it on it is crazy to play anything.
edit: For instance, when playing modnation racers, I must do stuff maybe one second earlier to do a perfect drift. Never play games on consoles without in set to ON.

Instead of giving up, perhaps you should try another class and see what you're missing out on.

My code for the Karkand maps says "you have access to them when they're available" I haven't played online yet, are they not live yet?

Can't find that mode in the menu on the TV
time to find that manual...WAIT, I found it. Time to test it out.
Holy shit it's way more smooth now, I've been playing all my other PS3 games with input lag all along too, and thought it was natural. What a dumbass.
Anyway thanks.
CozMick said:Yeah, it becomes available tonight at 00:00bst
And if you purchase this weekend you get the Limited Edition which includes the Back to Karkand DLC when it becomes available, for free
I just checked some links about it and the only things I've managed to find are the time when it goes live and the price.
I couldn't find anything about the size of the game...
Wait and check after it is on PSN I guess.

Let me know how it goes - and I know it will be better.
edit: Man, this is facepalm moment
Well, all games will be better now.You are input lag hero, fuck the mode that lowers it - HARDCORE!

Whoa. They didn't "add" prone. It's always been there.
Go back to Bad Company.

tanks finally became a force to be reckoned with.
let alone the fact that you can use the zoom AND the mounted machine gun at once is a huge step forward for tank fans like me.
The Auto-heal - while unrealistic - fits perfectly. The engineer's repair skill is buffed like all hell. I did not count it, but i believe you can now heal like 3 or 4 times more the damage at once then you were able to repair in BFBC2. What I do not understand until now is when i sometimes constantly take damage although for seemingly no reasing, it (at least) seems that no one is shooting at me... . Its like I have 88% health and my health continues to drop and I have to get out of the tank, repair it to 100% and then everything seems ok. Maybe a glitch, dont know.

I've noticed this as well going from Bad Company 2 to this game. People are absolute bullet sponges in this game and can take half a clip or even a full clip from certain distances without going down.zlatko said:
The ridiculously slow nature of unlocking better weapons and equipment in this game may be partly to blame.
Also, something needs to be done about the clipping in this game. I'm sick of people laying prone backed up against a wall so that half of their body is through the world and then they just appear like a small clump of debris or a small box on the ground, making them virtually impossible to detect until you've been killed by them.

Stingers do seem virtually worthless. You seem to need 3 engineers working in tandem just to take down one bird.
My question is: do pilots know when a missile has been launched? In BF2 you'd wait for lock-on, at which point the pilot would launch his flares, and then you'd fire your missile. But now I see most pilots not popping flares until you actually fire the missile - you can't fool them anymore. Or are they just being more observant?

So to my question above - do you get any sort of extra indication or tone when the missile is actually fired, or are you just visually noticing it?

Finally won a game of 64-player Conquest on Metro last night as the Russian side (or whatever the side is that always loses on that map). We were behind in ticket's for most of the game, but we managed to even it out around 20-20, and were able to sneak out a win! We were shocked when we won, considering we had spent the opening of the match jokingly saying "Ready to lose?" to each other.
Gotta agree with this, I didnt find my sweet spot until I tried all the classes in BC2. Ive been sticking with enginers ever since but Im always looking to branch out for a challenge. Also I ignored my K/D ratio and put more importance on fufulling my class role. You may not get the most kills but youll certainly net a lot of points while leading the team to victory.MrOogieBoogie said:
