They already said that they are going to balance the guns in the next patch, so use them while you can.
Just had a great round on Kharg. Flew around in a jet for a bit, got my hands dirty on the field, did some gunning from the viper and had some (very short) fun in the little bird. You know those white containers near the back of A? When you shoot them, they explode. So I saw 6 of their guys all hauled up around one capping the flag and I shot it with the little bird, it exploded, they all died. I got no kills though 
I'm using the M16A4, bro. Just stating what everyone else uses.

If they die from explosions it's a "bad luck" death. No kills for you =(
Yeah I figured, and I don't mind. Stopping them from capping and knocking 6 tickets off their team certainly contributed to us just winning the game with a few tickets left.

I know, I was just pointing out to everybody should enjoy the guns while they can.
Shows how different pc and console are. People primarily use the m16a3/m416 on pc.
Ty really need to make txt stick out to the other teammates that are in the same vehicle. Colorcode it or something...jeez
Seems like it. People completely stopped using the F2000 for some reason. Didn't it only receive a small nerf? Considering the FAMAS is said to be OP by Demize I'm surprised alot of people aren't using it. Honestly, I tried it out and it didn't feel right. Bit too much recoil. AEK is just well there.

It all has to do with the fore-grip. They said that when it gets fixed, the only real thing that will be done is how the fore-grip changes it. So if anybody hasn't unlocked it yet, try using it and then you will notice how ridiculous it is.
just had 48k round (@_@) but for some reason the battle report isn't available. I was playing on kharg and kicking ass all around, but the most epic moment was when I (on the US side) was capping E and as I (+ 1 other teammate) just finish it, both enemy tanks + their AA roll up ans start re-capping E.
I was assault so could not do anything against this. Then I saw my bro go down, but in stead of reviving I took his support kit, sneaked in between the tanks and start placing C4 in between and on them. I blow it up and destroy 1 tank and disable the AA. I go in for seconds after grabbing some ammo and blow up the AA. By this time they already capped E so the 2nd tank rolls off towards D or just into the sunset for all I care. I continue to pick of some infantry that spawns around E as I slowly cap it while my squadmates have come to help. Felt so, so good.

I have everything unlocked, and it's the only gun I've ever used as Engineer. I love it

the worst is Kharg Rush Defense... you're stuck in this little box that's inbounds for some reason, so you can just wait there for the jet to spawn again and maybe get in.

Damavand Peak Defender is pretty much the same..

During a particularly brutal conquest match, I wondered to myself what the most efficient fighting unit would be for BF3.
Several things came to mind during the continued domination over the Russians in Operation Firestorm: a squad with four different Squad Perks and four different classes can handle any enemy unit encountered on the field. Furthermore, if a squad coordinates solider customization against a specific enemy type and secures appropriate vehicle assets (tank, T-UGS, MAV, mortar, etc), then efficiency will be at its highest form. These two scenarios should be pursued at all times and proper execution will ensure victory. One of my favorite squad plays is the three-seated tank.
One engineer sits in the CITV station , another engineer sits in the gunner seat, and the driver is either a medic or another engineer. The driver uses autoloader, IR smoke, and guided shell. The gunner sports proximity scan, thermal optics, and canister shell. The CITV soldier has equipped thermal camo, zoom optics, and HMG Coaxial. This setup enables one tank to perform it's own AA, AT, and anti-infantry. If able, the crew is able to switch roles in a rapid manner to match the threat. because all good squads roll four deep, this fourth soldier would be a support gunner or medic. Either options provide additional ground protection against foot threats and generally improve situational awareness.
In other words, the tank is the best fighting unit in the game.

Or just 4 medics with f2000s and taclight.

Most annoying thing is the team deathmatch spawn decisions. So frustrating to see myself spawn behind someone for an easy and quick knife. It's frustrating because I know it happens me, too, and it shouldn't.
You do realize that this game was never designed for TDM. It was just slapped together to appease EA so they could say they had the same thing CoD has.
Nothing in the entire game was ever ment for TDM. Not weapon balance, not spawning and not even network optimization was considered for TDM.
Go play rush or conquest!

Is it known what the patch will adress and when it'll be released?
Has there been any chatter on the squad system being made to actually work, me and my friends have kinda put this game on the back burner at the moment, and are considering buying a used COD title (as far back as WaW) just to be able to play / chat with eachother without issues.
But, the ideal situation would be that DICE makes the squad and voice work just like it did in BC2, and we wont have to do that...but Im thinking they don't know what they are doing anymore and have no idea how to fix their broken squad system in this squad based game.
What was the line..."Its never been so easy to play with friends" (unless you are one of the MILLIONS of console players..).

Thanks guys!

Since when did BC2 voice chat work? And no BF3 will not have proper voice chat, they are keeping the crappy party chat via battle log. Many servers provide teamspeak or mumble. There are two mumble servers for neogaf members to use, one general and one dedicated to bf3 players. Feel free to use them
BF3 mumble: chi.eoreality.net:64762
General mumble: chi.eoreality.net:64739

Yah I'm in the NeoGaf West Platoon, but I should probably add myself to the others now that I know you can be in multiple platoons at the same time. Been focusing on trying to get all the awards in the game, trying to get all the crappy ones out of the way like 50 squad rush wins and 50 squad deathmatch wins.
This is just retarded. You own the game, it doesn't own you.

i assume he's playing on PS3 as the voice chat has always worked fine in the 360 games, but BC1 and 1943 on PS3 had issues, BC2 worked and BF3 has issues again.
the game has shiny medals and i want them all!!!
oh man, the stationary and rush defense...

5 wins in SQDM is such a chore.

Exactly! I actually find Squad Rush to be kind of fun, squad deathmatch not so much, unless I'm paired with all friends, but I found a server that has like a 5 kill limit so the matches go fast and its not too bad.
Ultimately I just love the game and want to play it all the different ways I can so I'm not just playing the same maps / modes over and over again.

Easiest way is to find an empty server w/low kill count and play with a friend.
5 wins in SQDM is such a chore.
Or find a server with a low limit. I found a server with a 2 kill limit for the game, so each round lasted less than a minute. You get 5 wins very quickly, even though its mostly random luck of who gets spawned in a better position.
Yes, I meant on consoles, I didn't own BFBC2 until the very end so it was all working great...carelessly assumed that meant DICE had figured out how to implement voice and squads into a voice and squad based game...still hoping I suppose.

i still can't believe that after screwing up in BC1and 1943, then finally getting it right in BC2, they screwed it up again. it's so baffling!
Yeah, I'm one of the people that GodofWine plays with IRL...it's incredibly frustrating. We could try several times to get into a match together, and it might not work at all. We try the regular quickmatch, the server browser, joining a designated squad if we all get separated, etc. It really just appears to be random luck when it works. Of course it gets worse when you're trying to join as an actual 4 person squad...hell even 2 is bad enough.
In BC2, we rarely ever had an issue with it. I just don't get it; the two games aren't THAT different from each other, as far as squad/team structure goes.
Ironically it's because it's on the PS3 that voice chat doesn't work. BF3 was supposed to on the PC as the main focus. Then EA had them shift it to focus on consoles within the last year before release so now nothing works.
Edit: not trying to be master race so much as say that EA are a bunch of dicks
They should have competitions for the tightest squads, videos on youtube, etc showing team dynamics and all the amazing stuff that tactics and cooperation can do. I'd like to see this supertank squad house an entire team.

Playing with a well coordinated squad is why I play Battlefield. Working together and complimenting each others strengths and knowing each others weakness is what it is all about for me. Playing with the same group for about the past year+ has really made me appreciate good squad/teamwork even more. I also really like playing against good squads as it makes me and my teammates push ourselves even harder to communicate, calculate, coordinate, and conquer the other team.

i dunno if that excuse is good enough! they never had voice chat issues with any BF games on 360!
