What is the deal with the server pings not being listed randomly?

If you're on PC then running BF3.exe as admin usually makes pings show up on Battlelog. Some don't though, probably because they are on the other side of the world.

Couple of questions:
If, in the attack choppers, the driver has flares equipped and the gunner has flares equipped, do they essentially get to fire off twice the amount of flares, or do they share a cooldown?
Also, was there ever a definitive answer for wether or not firing weapons with the flash hider attachment shows you on the enemy minimap?

Nope. Tactical light works as the light of god. Basically blinding everyone that sees it. So if you're not against enemies, turn that shit off!
You can switch that and the infra-red laser on and off.
Maybe you're messing with the firing mode?

How DO you turn the light on and off?
I just figured out the D-Pad down is the fire rate.

1stStrike said:Man, I always end up high on points, but I'm such a pussy hiding and shit lol. I'll have like 2 - 4 kills at the end of a round on average. I capture flags, blow up tanks, etc. but if you went by my K/D ratio you'd think I did nothing but die a lot
Wahaha! I find it weird that for a game that has more players than CoD, most of the times, at the end of the round the top player only has 12 kills or something but a ton of points. It's because the game has a lot of ways for you to be good, and not just killing.
I've been in games where I've only managed to kill 3-4 guys but came out on top due to flag capping, spotting, assists, etc. Such fun! Only hate it that some people are shitty teammates.
No idea why they don't spam the ammo/med boxes since the thing doesn't seem to have a cooldown and doesn't cost a thing!

I get that it doesn't make any sense, but Battlelog wasn't showing any pings for any servers so I set BF3.exe to always run as admin and I've had no problems since.

Can DICE add in 10 points or something trivial just for spotting, please. Or anything really to encourage these fuckers to actually spot the enemy.

I swear I only get connection lost on the 360 when I am doing awesome in a match. Why can the servers never bomb out when I am going 2-10 and our team is getting destroyed? It always has to be a match where we are destroying the other side.

Depends on the map, but 800 - 1000 feet. Caspian has the highest ceiling.
Oh and yeah when people spot tanks they're super easy. I haven't been on any maps in a while with jets where I can actually effectively attack ground units, though. As soon as I lift off I'm being chased by BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP and then I just dodge them forever popping flares because they're all one trick ponies till I get bored and bail or they get a lucky shot cause two of em teamed up on me.

Why is it that you can somehow make all the way through a match on a extremely laggy server but soon as you get into a lag free game the damn thing crashes to the desktop?

SCAR and IR scope is a death machine oh wow
Just had some games on Caspian and this one guy camps the tower with his sniper rifle every single fucking round. And it was impossible to hit him because he was to high up. I think the only way of killing him would have been to take him out with the chopper, which of course no one did.

Only if the enemy is killed, which is useless, and people just go for the kill anyway. I get implementing points just for the kill is to encourage teamwork and prevent point farming, but they need to do something because as it is too few people don't seem to give two shits about spotting.

A bit difficult to determine from your point of view. Much of the frustration people have with playing Battlefield is that they are paranoid about their teammates not doing enough or not knowing what to do. Remember that even if you know what to do and how to do it, it does not guarantee that you'll be able to pull it off. In regard to spotting, sometimes I think I spotted a guy but it doesn't register. Oh well.EatChildren said:
Even if everybody were spotting all the time, the map would not be lit up like a Christmas tree. There's no accurate way to tell whether people are spotting or not.
In general, sometimes you see these guys going, "OMG THIS TEAM SUX FUCK U" when they are near the bottom of the scoreboard and have been the entire game. Look, I know to spot, flank the enemy, find alternative routes, heal, support, etc. It doesn't mean I'm going to be able to do all those things all the time. Sometimes you just can't get anything going. Doesn't mean you're not trying. Doesn't mean others are not trying.

Same with Op Firestorm. The two buildings in B! DICE needs to make it so that those on the friggin' roof don't get the base! Such an imbalance.
Also, Dr. Pepper codes are separate for PS3, PC and Xbox? I'm going to ask my cousin to get me a can or two in the US. Should I specify which kind?

Trust me, I tried. And I'm pretty good with the RPG. Problem is you'll never get a rocket to hit him at the right angle from the ground. I swear to God, I rarely get upset when it comes to multiplayer games and people playing the game in their own peculiar ways but shit like that brings out the worst in me. And as it wasn't enough his soldier name was ugly too.

Firefights are just great in this game. I feel like it's all very even playing field if you got dudes in a tight corridor or staircase. Shit is intense.

I played 32 player hardcore rush on Tehran Highway.
I really like hardcore with 32 people. The 64 player hardcore servers I had played before were too hard/frustrating.

Got rolled up and smoked the last couple games.
Hating life so hard. It's a really tough game to do anything when outnumbered/outskilled.

Yeah, the lights are so bright that you literally cannot see anything even in broad daylight with it in your face. I totally understand combat lights being super bright, but they went way overboard. Whoever handled the lighting on their dev team must have just discovered all kinds of new tricks in fucking photoshop or something.

That tower needs to be completely removed. Either that or it need to be detructable.HotHamWater said:
Just got banned from a server (NOT the GAF Community server) for baserape because I was engaging and beating tanks on the road outside of the US base on Firestorm. It wasn't out of bounds, it wasn't in their base. But open ground. I got on a great hot streak and managed to take down 3 tanks in a row. Then boom, banned. Dickheads.
