I'm playing campaign on hard and I swear I could murder someone it sucks so bad. I'm so fucking pissed at how cheap this fucking campaign is it is all I can do to not throw my computer to the floor and shoot it with a gun. Fake difficulty. Fucking godlike marksman AI. If they include a campaign on the next one, I may not purchase. They could have cut this shit and made a better multiplayer game, but they had to do it for the console players to mimic a Bad Company experience. Being this angry is exhausting. I need to go lie down...but I need to beat this game more.

For the love of based DICE, remove the IRNV already. I can't play this game until that shit is gone or hit so hard with the nerf bat, that it might as well be gone. I have just no motivation to play when I know the IRNV is out there, watching and waiting....

Is PC version the best selling version of the game? You think it would be, and would have the community with the longest legs.
That might be false, but I feel like DICE should be catering to the PC crowd before consoles.

try playing Noshahr Canals Rush! that's the only map with the Cheesemobile on console.
the attackers get 2 Choppers, an Aamtrac, some rubber dinghies and a Humvee!
stop clipping thru walls n00b and run around like a real man!
EMBRACE THE DARK SIDE! USE THE IRNV!!!
seriously, i'd prefer everyone use it than nobody use it because it's nerfed.
especially if they don't fix prone clipping thru anything and everything.

The new (old) maps can't come fast enough. I played Battlefield 2 for years on and off, but I'm already getting sick of BF3's toxic mixture of terrible maps/game mode combinations and pisspoor design decisions.
I'm also sick of the total fucking dickheads that seem to be the average server admin. I've been kicked three times from games in the past hour simply for playing well, and in one game I watched a particularly loathesome admin console killing/banning people he couldn't better, eventually including myself:
Deeply flawed game and terrible community. What's not to love! Also genius move from EA/Sony's on moneyhating what seems to be the worst version of the game.

"soon"
they only announce dates when the updates pass cert, so you'll know a few days before usually.
you can always just get your own server and run it by your own rules. you shouldn't blame the community, you should be blaming yourself for not running a server and showing everyone else how it should be done.
I changed my fire button to the R trigger. Makes a world of difference.

Oh, I use it and I hate it. I feel like I am playing Batman with detective mode on the whole time. That just isn't BF to me. The prone clipping though, that is almost worse. Seeing the killcam and some dude with half his body through an object is just ridiculous. I love BF3, but man, the ridiculous # of unlocks, IRNV, and prone clipping are just killing it for me.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I just had a match that was so infuriatingly filled with everything that I hate about this game... it was the last straw.
This...is not good advice.
I can't believe how boring the weapons are. No significant differences in any of the guns after the 7.62mm nerf. If I was given a random 30 round, full auto engineer carbine or assault rifle with a generic model and sound effects, I'm not sure I could tell what gun I was using. Just take the gun with the highest rate of fire, add a grip, hold down the fire button like an idiot, and get easy kills.

Yeah that's one way to balance the weapons, isn't it? Make them all the same lol.
Having said that, damage is only one component of what a weapon is like to use, and these charts just fixate on it. There are other aspects to consider. The problem is that idiot players then fixate on these charts, and so end up all playing with any weapon that seems to have high damage. Then DICE look at their stats and see that every dumbarse is using that weapon, and have to nerf it (under their 'market forces' balancing approach). The SCAR never needed a nerf
Rate of fire is the only significant difference between guns. Damage is consistent within a caliber and class, differences between calibers and classes is minimal, magazine capacities and reload times are similar within a class, cone of fire differences are minimal, the high rof guns also have the lowest vertical recoil, and horizontal recoil is reduced by a grip. Even the average idiot realized that certain guns kill the fastest and are otherwise the same as the ones that kill slower.Yeah that's one way to balance the weapons, isn't it?

The SCAR needed a nerf, but only along with the other engineer weapons.
Yep, may be able to be taken out on PC/Conquest. On Console/Rush? IMPOSSIBLE. Needs a nerf bat on consoles, hard. Otherwise you have to speed fly to the roof that is indestructable (YAY, even more cheese!) and Javalin/RPG the motherfucker and hope you don't die. Oh, and since the recon beacon has been nerfed to useless status (AH AH AH STAYING ALIVE! STAYING ALIVE! Oh, wait, you didn't? BOOM!) you can't even get back up there again now unless you have a recon staying prone and alive to let you respawn up there. GG DICE.
My friend just got banned from a server today too. Pretty funny really.

Doesn't the radio beacon remain regardless of death, as long as you don't respawn on it as Recon again?
Not anymore since the PS3 patch. And apparently Faceless said DICE has stated that it is not supposed to be that (AKA: Your) way. It's meant to be this way (AKA: PS3 patch way), which is fucking stupid and I want to stab Demize in the face for this change because now the recon class is even more USELESS because they have to a) camp to stay alive or b) not bother with kit items outside of the MAV... and maybe not even then.
I heart gaf, but without question the gaf server, more than any other, ends up with unbalanced teams. I've never been a part of, or the victim of, as many 5 caps as I have when on this server :\

the PS3 patched fixed several things.
i dunno if this affects the SOFLAM or MAV since i haven't unlocked them yet.
previously if you spawned Recon and dropped equipment, they would stay there until you respawned as recon (or the bases moved up in Rush mode). respawn as any other class and they stayed.
now, they get destroyed when you respawn as any class. this is how i believe Demize99 explained they worked on twitter months ago when asked about spawn loops on the beacon.
also, when you spawned as a class that wasn't recon, if you picked up a recon kit and placed equipment, they stayed there until destroyed or the base moved up, you could even spawn as recon and they were fine.
there was also a 3rd thing, if you spawned as a recon and dropped equipment, if you picked up another kit, the equipment would be destroyed immediately. this is fixed.
here it is

Anyone have an issue where they're simply unable to rebind any keyboard buttons?
I did a motherboard/processor/ram upgrade and fresh install of windows, when I reinstalled battlefield I can no longer rebind the keyboard keys.
Mouse rebinds still work
I'm sure this is probably something extremely stupid

Yeah its called playing a DICE game. I can't bind mouse buttons but keyboard is fine. I used to be able to bind joystick buttons too but not anymore.

I think what we need is a blacklist for battlelog. There are 4-5 servers I would like to never show up again when I hit refresh. Then by word of mouth/experience the shitty servers will slowly die.
Also that recon change is so stupid. The class was mediocre before the change, now it's pretty much pointless. Bad Company 2 recon was awesome, I'd trade the MAV and spawn beacon for motion mines and C4.

Can we get some female recon models with this physics?
And this is why our Black Powder Saturday needs to include women next year. Screw Black Friday, it's all about the day after in our family...lol

DICE needs to fix the invincibility glitch. People have figured out how to do it, rather dan accidentaly getting it. Very, very annoying. Also, Nerf IRNV? WHY!?
Yes, people on PS3 are abusing it. Hell, I've abused it myself at times. Prone near crate B first set Bazaar, never die while mowing people down.

There is a server script that supposedly can randomize teams at the end of each round, BUT will also keep your squads intact. Gonna do some more research on that, but that would help reduce one team dominating for the night.

Balancing the FAMAS will be interesting. Demize said it's going to keep its real fire rate of ~1000 RPM.

Can anyone who has a twitter-account ask DICE to kick out the flashlight? It's like getting a burning piece of Magnesium stabbed in your face.
Evidence A:
Is it a surfer holding two magnesium torches or a guy playing BF3?
I mean, damnit, it must be the most retarded thing in this game and considering all the other things that create this mess, it is really THAT annoying.

OMG, I still need to play it. :/
Yeah, I came here to post this. I don't know what it's called, but I read that it works pretty well.
Separately, I would love to play on a server that banned the recon class. Yesterday, during one of the matches in which I was 5-capped nearly the entire time, I noticed that 21 out of the 32 people on my team were using the recon class on Caspian. Unreal. Just getting so frustrating.
The class itself is pretty versatile. I almost never play the class, but those who use short-range scopes on the semi-auto rifles/all-kit weapons with properly placed spawn beacons are a tremendous help.
If 21 people want to play "sniper", that's a different story...
B-B-BUT THEY AREN'T HELPING THE TEAM! BAWWWWW!
It's like limiting Spy class in Team Fortress 2: Fucking stupid and punishes those of us that are able to use the class effectively for the sins of the people that are shit with the class and got there first.
All recon are useless. I'll never think otherwise!

So it's clear that enemy mines and explosives can be spotted now. I'm reading complaints that they ALWAYS display on the minimap, regardless of whether or not they're spotted? Seks, can you confirm?
Patrick Bateman

I think it does, I played a bit of Caspian Boarder and noticed this. And I don't think that some team member spotted them.
