Re: Battlefield 3

When you try to revive a team mate and all you hear is swearing does that mean they chose not to be revived?

They should add a Do Not Resuscitate button when you die. So at least medics won't go across the battlefield to revive someone that is just going to curse at them.

Spotting doesn't seem to be as effective as BC2. Or not many people are doing it.

I like having the option of respawning or not though. I have been revived in the worse possible places, so being able to deny being revived is pretty awesome.


I have been spotting like crazy, I just think people are not doing it much

I haven't gotten into SP yet. I have been really busy and haven't gotten to play much. Just a few times on MP.

I keep seeing negative things about SP, but no one really says why it's garbage. What is so bad about it?

Nothing is wrong with it. Maybe cause it's not that crap CoD calls a campaign. It's a good SP so far. Very realistic and true to life. The Jet level is fantastic.

Re: Battlefield 3

Can you spot as a class other than recon? If so, what should I press?

Pardon the newbie question.

It would be nice if people would spot players, but most do not seem to use that feature. I'm not sure why as you get points for spotting if that player ends up being killed by someone else.

Console or PC?

There is nothing but spotting on the PC and plenty of suppression teamwork.

Console, most have to break out of the CoD type game mechanic. Once they do that, things will open up to them more.

How do I make a battlelog account?

Just register an EA account if you don't have one already. Use the same email as the one that your gamertag is on.

I create my EA account with Dragon Age or Mass Effect, I can't remember, but that it the one that works.

You can "accept" or "decline" a resurrect.

I mean, literally have a sign over your head telling a medic don't worry about me. Don't risk your life saving me because I am going to deny your request.

I like the option of choosing it, but it would be nice if there was a way to know someone is not going to accept it revival before you try to save them.

Exactly. Most people who think they "suck" is due to them not being a run and gun kill machine.

The beauty of this game, is that it offers rewards for suppression, spotting, and support. So while you may "think" you suck, cause we are stuck in the K/D mentality the FPS genre has shaped over the years, you may actually rock at other aspects!

Gotcha! Just have to post this on the Battlelog site. So maybe it can be added to the game they said they want to "evolve based on feedback".

Would be a cool feature. Though I never run across out in the open to revive someone that won't essentially effect the battle at hand. I will only revive within reason if it is safe and near the battle. They are better off spawning on a squad mate or me if I say in cover.

Select (ps3) or back (360). Not sure about PC.

All classes can spot. Just aim and spam the spot button.

Q on the PC as default mapping.

The changes they made from BC2 in terms of the point difference between kills and objective points is massive. I'm loving it and have yet to play Rush, where I hear the points for planting and exploding are huge. 500-600 points or something like that?

Re: Battlefield 3

Is there a guide somewhere that details the benefits/differences between assault, recon, etc?
