Yar, was a good time. We were rocking the CITV station on the tank shooting down helicopters and shit. We even got someone in a jet
With a good squad that shit is great.

That's what Finjitsu, me, and Penny were doing tonight (you as well, I'm just realizing). We took out the same helicopter full of guys probably three times in a single round of Caspian. Much more effective than a tank without a third seat + guided missiles.
To the guys base raping jets: We know that you're damaging them on the runway, letting them take off, and then finishing them off (or else waiting for someone to spawn, and then taking them out before they can takeoff). Quit that shit.

It's okay to lose a few games in Conquest because I feel with the open nature of the mode you can always find a way to sneak around and get some kills etc. In Rush? If they're pushing good you're just fucked. Or am I at least. I can be happy on a shit team in CQ (afterall I'm quite shit myself so who am I to judge?) but in Rush it gets boring real fast.Anton Sugar said:
Also, thanks if you kicked someone last night for me to get in the server. Not sure if you did or if someone just left. If you did I feel bad for the chap you kicked because in 15 minutes I crashed three helicopters and died about 15 times before giving up and going to bed.
The lesson? Drunk BF3 is really hard. >_>
I'm having a sober weekend, though, so I'm really looking forward to putting some time into the server over the next few days between rushing uni assignments and playing Uncharted 3!

Agreed on the difference in game modes. Good Conquest maps give just about any team a fighting chance because the fight can be really dynamic--there is always an outlying base or two that are easy to cap and keep the battle moving around. In Rush, if you're shut out, you're usually shut out.
fin said:
Fixed, that was 100% my fault. Although that round started with us losing by a pretty good margin, Scogoth, Spl1nter, my brother and I got in a great position and started taking cap points.
So I noticed the server isn't showing in Battlelog this morning. I've fixed the Tehran map to use the CQ64 version and also enable a Punkbuster addon, which shouldn't have any effect on the game to players. The server still wasn't showing, even after a reboot, but it looks like it's up now. Please let me or Canti know if it disappears throughout the day.
Foliorum Viridum said:I was on the side that was destroyed and it wasn't fun at all.
Yeah, I was on the side that got its face smashed in numerous times in a row (then I crashed and was on the other side for a bit). What was my squad doing? Well, they would take missiles and camp on various mountains and other high areas and attack airplanes and helicopters. The entire match.
Sometimes I feel like a fool for trying to capture flags when so many other people clearly aren't.
I think if a side wins by 100+ points two matches in a row, the teams should be scrambled.
I like rush because there's a greater sense of accomplishment when you're playing against a good team and you win. The other day I was playing and my team was just getting shut down at every turn, somehow my squad managed to destroy the first point but the defenders were all over the second. We have 3 tickets remaining, my friend says its over but I was near the objective. I take out 3 or 4 enemies, plant the bomb and defend it till it goes off and we get 75 more tickets. Probably the best moment I've had so far in the game.Foliorum Viridum said:

Rush is either amazing or shit. No middle ground, in my experience.
Whereas I've never had a bad CQ game. Average? Sure, but not bad.

Btw, how close are we to having reserved slots sorted?
Only DICE knows, I'm afraid. Server tools don't have the ability, currently.

Many of you guys are good that's for sure, I had my run of the money when people were killing me 2 or 3 times over. And good job to my teammates who've been spotting and such, it makes playing the game feel like a lot of fun frantically defending the objectives.
Again my bf3 server name is Vanguard_Ike. Look forward to playing with you guys tonight!

Wow, can we please ban whole groups of clans from joining the server? A bunch of douchebags from some clan called dynamic completely unbalanced the teams, and the admins(if there was even one there) did not give a shit. Left the server after 2 rounds of 1 team holding every flag the entire round.
You gotta love it when clans too cheap to buy their own server just overrun other ones. It seriously makes it totally pointless to even play when the teams are that unbalanced.

Menelaus said:
I counted at least 6 at the time I was playing. It's a problem when the server is at 30 people and one team is totally stacked and has every flag for two rounds. If that's considered par for the course than I'd rather play elsewhere.
What does the server being full have to do with it anyway? Are we so desperate to attract players that we have to cater to noob bashing clans?
Menelaus said:
The server wasn't full, so where the hell are you getting the team of 32 from. It was about a 20 v 20, which makes the individual players matter much more. It would be fine if the members spread themselves evenly across both teams, but obviously they just wanted to rack up spectacular ratios off noobs.
Anyway you obviously have your mind concluded on the matter, and you were playing on their team at the time anyway, so I'm sure you were enjoying the stacked teams..

If you guys need some balancing, just holler at me in mumble, I'm in the AFK channel but my headphones are on.sp3000 said:
I can autobalance teams through the CC as long as there is one blank space on each team.

Menelaus said:
At least 4 at some point even more. Full 5 rounds of overwhelming unbalance with last 2 getting baseraped/spawnraped.
Menelaus said:
6 players with high level of teamwork on a mostly random team based?...yeah, hard to counter it.
Relaxed Muscle said:
Umm its quite easy actaully. Most of the team isn't random there were way more than 6 gaffers on each team and thats only people with clan tags. There were at least 10 of us on mumble. You think your getting raped then get on mumble organize with other gaffers and beat them, thats what chapel, pennybags, tman and myself did.
Canals on Rush is dumb.
Went 29-0 in the AA gun.

DTKT said:
No the AA gun is dumb. There is no way to counter it. It can stay near spawn far away from any ground damage and the closest you can come to killing it is Guided missile with beamscanning into a gun barrage and even then its only disabled. Helis are instantly flipped with no way to recover and it kills infantry faster than any other land vehicle.
Stupidest vehicle in the game. Stingers(and guided tank missiles) are more than enough to control airspace from the ground

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
The anti-air missiles are fun to play with too, especially if your target already hit their flares to avoid something else. The missiles are more distractions than anything to get them to move into the AA gunfire anyway.outsida said:
On the issue of balancing: There is currently no way (other than doing it manually) to balance by "skill". If a clan joins the server and they beat the other team...good on them? As long as the teams are balanced by numbers. If we "balanced" the teams by switching clan members around, they'd probably just leave anyway. Just because they have the same clan tag doesn't mean they are a professional "clan" either, just like how a lot of us have GAF as our clan tags, despite us not being a clan.
Do we really want to be the server where groups can't play together, when we often play together as a group ourselves?

scogoth said:
Just because you're in the air doesn't mean you own the whole map. I have no problem with getting shot down by the mobile AA if I'm too close the enemy base and if it's out rollin' on it's own it won't survive for long. My tank eats mobile AAs for breakfast.
Edit: I find myself playing quite a lot on the US server and the netcode still amazes me. Occasionally I'll get killed after having dived for cover so there's a little bit of lag there but other than that it's very playable. That lead me to thinking that maybe I'm ruining the game for everyone else some how. If that's the case please let me know and I'll find other hunting grounds, Battlefrog soldier is zulustar.

Please, any Aussies who are going to play - join up this map and get your friends to join!
We can make it however we want! No kill cam, higher damage, rotating on one map for an entire day, whatever we want whenever we want, will be good to have

This is the exact strategy I use... I've had all of the opposing teams choppers/jets trying to bombard me because I'm so pesky with it at times. I also use it to hold flags that are sorta away from where the main firefights are taking place, to keep lone recons or squads from capping.XiaNaphryz said:
