Few posts back, a user script allows you to upload anything as an Emblem it seems, wonder if Dice will block it soon or if they dont care.

Im sure some people will start uploading porn, copyright material and what not, thus killing the fun for everyone :(

I seriously hope they will do some heavy rebalancing on AA missiles and flares, cause battles between for instance two helicopters can go insane quickly with each just hoping the other throws itself off sooner out of boredom.

I love those snipers on the peak map who hang out at the ends of the tunnels, and just pick everyone off with ease. Its a little stupid.

If you know they're gonna be there then take them out. Suppress them.

The annoyance I feel when I get sniped and just see the kill cam of a guy proned on the ground in a bush or on a roof is immense.

I hate them so much

Don't make yourself a target. Move from cover to cover quickly. Scan your surroundings. I get pissed when I get clipped by a sniper, too. But 99% of the time the reason I got killed was because I asked for it. If you have IRNV unlocked, use it. You will see everything, including the snipers.

IMO killcam should be disabled.

On non-hardcore i want to see the actual stand off, something like the 5 seconds before your death. What is the point of showing your opponent just sit there or just running around after they killed you, its not like this game has viewable customization of your character other than the basic skins you unlock.

Battle recorder cant come soon enough.

It shows you the person who killed you and where they are to stop camping. I don't want a killcam like you are saying since it never shows me my death but only how shitty the netcode is and the lag. 99% of the time I was in cover on my screen and on the 5 second killcam I'm out in the open and that just pisses me off to the point where I rage quit. I would rather just not see it than be pissed since the vast majority of my deaths were not my fault.

I understand your point but I still find it funny, you dont want it because you dont want to be reminded the fact that the netcode is shitty.

You are definitely right though, I already Rage Quit a couple of times and watching a replay with erratic detection would probably make me go off more, which isn't fun.

When I die now... it could be because I screwed up, or it could be because of lag. I don't know. What I don't know, won't hurt me.

When I see that 5 second killcam in COD I get pissed off because no lie, the vast.... VAST majority of the time it wasn't my fault that I died and it was shitty netcode on their side so it super pisses me off.

oh my days. The m416 is lovely. And then i picked up a fellow Assault's AEK and fell in love.

Went 16 - 0 on seine holding E (enemy side of the map) with the help of a squad of assaults/supports. Literally locked the area down, everyone reviving, dropping meds and ammo. Was beautiful.

Can't wait to unlock the AEK.

Not necessarily for the points but to help the team out by having the enemy spotted.

even so, I don't want to be spotted all the damn time. just press q and then shoot.

Both aren´t working for me.

I had a nice moment in one earlier today. Went as high as I could, switched to gunner and disabled another heli. My face -> :D

I was racing towards the ground, though, and my brother (who was already dumbfounded you could be your own gunner without crashing right away) kept yelling I have to go up while I was shooting. I got into the pilot seat in the very last moment, but an AA tank blasted my out of the sky in that very moment.

Still pretty awesome.

I can´t hit shit with the AA tank myself, at least aircraft. Other vehicles and infantry no problems. I unlock the zoom sight soon, though. That should help.

*Wilhem Tell scream*

Just got second in a very close race to the top on Caspian Border. So close. If I hadn´t fiddled around with my new tank unlocks I wouldn´t have died to another tank and gotten a kill streak ribbon and probably the MVP as well. Damn smoke. I didn´t want to equip this, I wanted ZOOM. I spent ages in that tank and even shot down another attack helo with my main gun. That was too close to me, biotch. Started harassing me and my tank mate when we tag teamed a tank driving out of their spawn, how rude.

I got two tank unlocks in that round, proximity scan and guided missile, yay. Two vehicle destroyed ribbons. Boosted my ppm AND pushed my skill level up over 80 points (to 127 :/). Even got a kill with the IGLA *wipes tear*

Somehow, I only have three of those. I have gotten "road kills" when shooting down helis and jets, though.

So, now that I have the guided shell, does it only work with SOFLAM´d targets? I´ve never seen anybody using one.

Had a total derp moment, I didn´t realize that I already had autoloader. Is it better to use this than Maintenance? I´ve grown used to my super regenerating tank, it´s not like a lot of people repair (or even have the tool equipped). Only about 9k more points until the Thermal Vision. Than I´ll stick it to those bush wookie engineers.

- Auto loader instead of maintenance is pretty huge, especially if a tank gets the jump on you.
- Guided shell works without SOFLAM, but SOFLAM allows you to lock onto helicopters, and jets, something you otherwise couldn't do. It also allows you to track, and hit targets that move behind cover on the ground.
- Thermal vision is by far the best unlock for tanks, I snipe infantry from miles away with my HMG.

Wow, great link.

Man, why in the world does the SCAR appear so much better than most of the Assault class weapons? It's a low level engineer unlock, shouldn't Assault have more of a monopoly on efficient and accessible rifles than Engineer?
Click to expand...

SCAR needs a long range damage or recoil nerf.

Remember, what this chart doesn't show you is time to ADS, horizontal and vertical recoil, mag size, or bullet spread.

Nine out of ten orphans can't tell the difference.
I wish there was a bigger disparity between the weapons. Judging by that spreadsheet they're almost all identical :[

different weapons do a better job of suppression.

Yeah i know it just gets frustrating when I have a deployed saw with the suppression perk and it still doesn't do enough suppression to stop the easy counter sniping.

I did not have time to play on weekend and now everyone seems to be higher rank, having more unlocks than me. IRNVs everywhere, people have started using SOFLAM/Javelin combos, the enemy team uses a lot of team works (my team does not regardless server, map, faction).
*Sigh*
I guess i'll wait till Back to Karkand before i start playing again.

How is waiting for B2K going to help you get unlocks and find good squads?

Pretty sure is lag.

That's what I thought. It's a really invasive effect though, wish it just transported you and didn't have the screen effect. When it happens during close strafing on the ground it ends up being disastrous.

This is pretty funny. Assault you can have the best anti infantry gun in the game... if you play 500 hours of co-op.

I don't think I am going to walk through the pile of poop to get to that carrot DICE. I think it's easier to play engineer, like everyone else. :p

3-4 hours, tops, for all unlocks. Look up infinite respawn exploit.

Is there a 360 friends list for BF3? I know most of you guys are master racing it up but I only got it on 360 and no one ever uses a mic. This is totally a game I want to play with a full squad, all with mics, getting shit done.

this is something i for the life of me cant understand. When everyone has mikes and is working together this game is a work of art. If you want to get some games in add me tdf213 i am usually on after 6pm PST

I've done nothing with my life except eat and fap
I found that I enjoy only 4 maps in 64 players conquest - Kharg Island, Firestrom, Caspian Border, Canals. As I prefer CQ64 to all other modes, that is sad. Karkand can't come soon enough.

Also Tehran is good for 32 players.
