Hilarious. I tried all kinds of placebo tricks on picking up weapons. "Maybe if I just hold down triangle, maybe if i dont move while picking it up"
ugh.

That, was, brilliant, and I encountered some of that.
That Battlepickup: Not worth it, dude. Stop trying to pick it up! *cracks up all the while*

Nothing but a distraction by DICE.
Any tips for controlling the TV Missile on console (PS4 specifically). It seems like even the slightest movement of the stick will send it flying off randomly.
goofy as shit, i want to try the latest update but won't jump in because my mouse wheel is rarely recognized? I reset all key bindings and no change. Takes like 10 real aggressive rolls to get it to scroll weapons. Also noticed I can't assign my side buttons like before, it calls all of them the same button.

The more I play in Flood Zone, the more I hate it. Roof campers everywhere.
If it bothers you that much forget B and C and concentrate on A, D and E. It's far from my favorite map but it's not that bad. I like to spawn as a Russian and hold A for the whole game. Since it's close to the US base you'll have lots of infantry to fight and even the IFV once in awhile.
Campers on the rooftops of B and C are easy to flank and kill. People on the top of the very high buildings are more dangerous to the flags as an enemy spawn point than to a player as a sniper.

Yeah, that's how we usually deal with the issue, though it still makes for a frustrating experience sometimes. The US side is at such a disadvantage because of A, it's so hard to control because of the multiple stories the enemy can be in and still cap the flag, which is why I always wish to be in the Chinese side when that map comes into rotation (even though the US side gets the Little Bird).

Yeah, It's PC only until they release Naval Strike on the other platforms.
Hahaha yep. I've tried everything too.
I love when I'm being especially stubborn and I end up moving the darn thing like 300 feet away from its spawn before it finally gets glitched inside a wall and I can't try to pick it up anymore. It's like the game is saying "come on bro, you've had enough" and ends my suffering for me.
Ever heard of this thing called Siege of Shanghai?

roof campers are awesome. free XM25 kills. free mortar kills. free UCAV kills.

Game is still completely unplayable on PS4 conquest large. I hope DICE gets raped in the ass with a rusty knife.
Flood Zone is probably my favourite map, as long as roof snipers are kept to a minimum.

I usually just get the scout heli and try to mop 'em up. Still don't understand why 25MM cannon cant shoot down spawn beacons. -_-
I really need to use the XM25 more often though, would be a nice break from killing myself with C4 all the time.

I've had zero issues with PS4 conquest. Full games too and no issues at all.

indeed, seks. The twin drum mag is like a pair of big balls full of deadly seed ready to be spat out the AWS shaft at my enemies.
That's some kind of miracle based on my experience. I haven't had a single session without at least 1-2 maps being completely unplayable due to lag/rubber banding. I wish I was exaggerating.

Did they delay the Xbox One patch ?
It's funny how bad the US bases usually are compared to others.
Granted there is nothing like Noshar Canals in BF3 but Dice is keeping the tradition of shitty US spawns! Poor US soldiers fighting against the Russians on Op. Metro!
Yet from me spectating you in that Flood Zone Sabo match, you were trying to snipe from roofs (not as high) as well... hmm...

If you're gonna talk dirty like that, you should at least buy me dinner first.
(MG3 was awesome in BF3. Haven't tried the "MG4" but if the AWS is basically the MG3 I can replace the RPK.)

If I was you, I would hope so. You really don't want this patch.

Haven't tried the new LMG for naval strike, but recently I've been using the M60, whilst not BC2 good, it feels powerful, it is powerful.
Enjoyed killing fools with it on Locker just now.

Don't know what's actually happening on my end, but I'm still getting the constant stuttering on PS4 in just about every single game.
Haven't played in a while and decided to jump in yesterday since so many were online.
Every 2 seconds at most my screen judders and even resets my aim as I'm turning. :-/
It seems to be getting worse instead of getting better with all these damn patches that don't do anything positive...
.
Gonna be playing today gotta get my last 4 helicopter kills for the air mines.
Just saw this on Symthic : Hidden changes from the latest patch
I couldn't help but feel something was off with the DAO12 last night...Now I know why. Good night sweet prince
Now I can't help but feel the AWS is too good and it's going to get hit with the nerfbat soon.

Vehicle Disable "buff" isn't enough. Disables should function like BF3. Not this auto-repair with no engineers around lolololol troll shit. >:| You shouldn't be able to auto-repair from a disable.
"B-B-BUT MOBILITY BONUS" which is an annoying thing but happens so little it's pointless to use as a counter to disables.
Disables were fine in BF3. Should go back to that system in 4. :/ So tired of disabling vehicles and having them able to run off like nothing happened.

What do you mean by auto-repair with no engineers? You mean the mobility hit stuff?
From the last pages of that thread, new values for the MBT canister shell :
Also I think it's time I played some with the Javelin.
Edit : Screw that, rocket launchers are for babies, I'm gonna get myself some http://youtu.be/b30BY5UXO9Q}anti-vehicular defibrilator action![/url

"VEHICLE DISABLED +50"
(Enemy trollface.jpg as they haul ass backwards behind a building/out-of-bounds for you)
Tank/LAV/whatever vehicle: Oh we aren't taking damage now? *auto-repairs*
Tank/LAV/whatever vehicle: There you go, back to 100% and you didn't have to get out despite being disabled!

SG553 is a beast
Just unlocked it today and had some amazing times. Never hear it talked about though. Is it considered bad?
In other news, pulling it together at last with the DMRs, a tiny bit anyway. Still not easy but having a bit more success. Also the later carbines are tons of fun so far.
Ah, Battlefield 3.
Man, now I want the complete BF3 experience, which I very stupidly missed out on.
Today I downloaded the BF3 demo for PS3, it makes me really want a decent gaming PC again.
I bought a Dell desktop PC in January 2011 from Best Buy with a Core i7 (had to have been a Nehalem model, not Sandy Bridge), 8 GB DDR3. It came with a Radeon HD 4770 but before I even bought this PC I picked the best graphics card they had in stock which happened to be what was considered even at that time to be midrange, a GTX 460 1 GB. That was a Fermi GPU, not Kepler.
Overall, that PC was a decent 2010 gaming rig, not highend even by 2010 standards.
So when BF3 came out in October of 2011, by no means did I have a highend PC, but still very capable of playing BF3 @ 1920 x 1080p with a mix of high and ultra settings and no AA. Got 60fps most of the time in SP, which is, stupidly, all I played. I think I tried MP two or three times for about 5 min each. I really regret not spending any time at all in MP. I was so busy with other things I did not have time. . I never got to see the original Operation Firestorm which I know was part of the core BF3 game, not DLC. I also of course never got to play any of the DLC maps or modes, like Tank Superiority.
Sold that PC in 2012. Really regret that too damnit
The PS3 version is obviously very limited in graphics, framerate, map size, number of players etc etc.
Yet, I was surprised at how decent BF3's SP campaign looks on PS3, considering the severe hardware / RAM limitations. Really surprised. While it's not even remotely close to what I remember playing on that midrange PC in 2011, it was better than I expected for PS3, hardware that was finalized in 2005.
There is no way I'm going to buy PS3 BF3 Premium Edition now, I've been spoiled by the PC version and more recently, BF4 on PS4. I'm also not even going to hope against hope that DICE/EA would remake the entirety of BF3 with all the additional content in the Frostbite 3 Engine for next gen consoles. That's not gonna happen.
So the only thing to do is, once again, get a decent rig. With the first lower-end 28nm Maxwell cards now out, by late this year we should see 20nm Maxwell with a lot more shaders, even if the biggest Maxwell GPUs aren't out til 2015.
I'd imagine though, that even a modestly higher-end 20nm Maxwell of 2014 would be able rip through BF3 easily and also provide an awesome BF4 experience at 1080p, right? We'll see. Especially with DirectX12 on the way (Microsoft's answer to Mantle) combined with Nvidia's solid drivers, I'm pretty optimistic about that.

I got nothing against BF4's mobility bonus. If they want that, then add it. But the stick in my craw is the disable mechanic. It was fine in BF3: Disable? You are now burning and can't move at 100% speed. Now? You can move at 100% speed, you don't burn unless you're at 10HP AND you can auto-repair damage provided you're above 10HP (read: Now 15HP) which is beyond moronic. There's no need to get engineers outside of a tank unless you're badly damaged and have breathing space now. It's stupid.

Really, no. Outside of vehicle balance, BF4 is superior in almost every way.

There you go, little fella.
Played a lot of China Rising today and figured I should upload a video just because hey why not. Just a little IFV spree at the very end of the game, thermal-optics represent.
