Re: Battlefield 3

Dear Assault squad mate,

I appreciate your efforts in trying to help us capture the objectives as easily as possible. However, in a match that takes about 10 minutes to complete do you think it is possible, just once, that you can drop a med kit? I know you see me standing next to you with the cross above my head. I am not praying that I survive to objective B. No, I simply want you to drop the pill box so I can heal. When the ammo appears above your head I kindly drop ammo so you can resupply. Another thing, why is someone from another squad reviving me while you just fire random bullets into a crowd, knowing you're not hitting anybody?? Just help a brothe out, please?

Sincerley,

Not all assault carry health packs. I usually carry the grenade launcher instead. Health pack is only really useful when you are being suppressed. Why heal you, when I wait 3 seconds and revive you? I know that sounds bad but 1) I get more points doing this, and 2) it's overall more beneficial for me to have the grenade launcher than it is the health pack.

If i see my guys stuck under heavy fire i'll change my loadout for health packs, and spawn in on them. Otherwise I never use it.

This guy didn't have a grenade launcher. He was just firing his rifle and running around doing nothing. There were,at least 8 of us stuck in that alley on Grand Bazaar, with 2 assaults. Only one was dropping med kits and trying to revive.

When will people learn not to drive into the middle of a crowded area or just recklessly drive into the opponents zone with a ground vehicle. They think the are just going to go in and wreck everything around.

For PC guys, Tactical gamer's servers are awesome.

By far the best experience I've had with the game. They use TeamSync(Teamspeak plugin) which basically adds Squad VOIP to the game (as well as Squad Leader to Squad Leader comms). When you join their server make sure you're on their TeamSpeak server as well. Whenever you join a squad TeamSync will automatically switch you to the appropriate squad channel on the TeamSpeak server.

Try it out when you get the chance.

Re: Battlefield 3

Posted on BF3's facebook page. A lot of these kill streaks are from people not watching the 6...or communicating....

(and in one case @1:30 not watching the 9 or 3 either....the tunnel vision on those guys...wow).

Back to Karkand set to release December 14th: http://bf3blog.com/2011/11/back-to-k...r-december-14/

There’s a lot of anticipation for the upcoming and first Battlefield 3 DLC/expansion, called Back to Karkand. While EA has teased us with several trailers and lots of screenshots, they’ve yet to confirm the release date for Back To Karkand. But according to a Sony page, the release date has finally been revealed.

Sony’s Asia PlayStation Store lists Battlefield 3 Back To Karkand with a release date on December 7, 2011. Since PlayStation 3 owners will get Back to Karkand (and all other DLC) one week earlier, that means that Back To Karkand will hit the PC and Xbox 360 platforms on December 14.

For more on the expansion, check out our Back to Karkand page, which has all the vehicles, maps, weapons and everything you need to know about Back to Karkand.

Re: Battlefield 3

Question for PS3ers:

A game I played today was literally the first time I heard any voice chat since release. I haven't been using a mic myself because as far as I knew, voice chat did not work on PS3 for whatever reason. Has this been fixed? I had one guy on my squad using a mic and our squad was able to cooperate so much easier, but it's been since release day since that I have heard anyone's voice in this game.

That said, I've hit some bad luck recently in losing. I'd prefer to play some more coordinated events, as that is so much more enjoyable than just relying on randoms--most guys seem clueless or simply don't care about certain aspects of the game.

And another question: does this game "prestige" like the MW series? I ask because I see players with those Eagle emblems and am unsure what it means, other than they rape me. For whatever reason I cannot kill those players, even if I unload full clips into them. I'm hardly a high level myself (17) so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Re: Battlefield 3

Personally I enjoyed the MW3 campaign over BF3's. BF3 felt like a chore to me and even though MW3 was heavily scripted it kept me on the edge of my seat.

I was able to beat the campaign for MW3 during my Thanksgiving break thanks to my brother who bought it over. I never touched multi though since I just can't get into it like I used to....

Re: Battlefield 3

INRV scope nerf gameplay...I see no difference so I'm going to keep on abusing that scope

Re: Battlefield 3

I'm thinking about picking up BF3... Do I need to play BF1 & BF2 before I play this? Will I be lost in the campaign?

Nope. Bad Company series of games have nothing to do with BF3 campaign. The campaign isn't all that impressive, still good, but the multiplayer is what you want to be jumping into!
