Re: Battlefield 3

I would agree with comfortablylomb about the health packs. I could just set one at my feet, pop out around te corner and shoot anyone I see. If I'm getting shot at I get back into cover and wait a few seconds to patch up. I would pop out again with full health and the enemy would still be at whatever he was left at, easy kill. You can keep constant fire with medkits opposed to the m320 especially when you're left with about 10% health.

I never even thought of that

Mike has spoken.

That about settles it. Health packs it is. lol

Seeing as how Mikenoob and ComfortablyLomb are the 2 best players on my friends list, I trust their word

I usually like the M320 better, but the assignments reminded me how useful health packs are. Ironically they both are great on the same levels...those narrow pathway levels like Metro and the tunnel on Damavand Peak and the hallway at grand bazaar. Those are all great places to use the health packs and the grenade launcher. I think defense warrants the grenade launcher, and offense you need the health packs....it always depends though

Re: Battlefield 3

Here's how I think: If my teammate gets shot, giving him a healthpack doesn't help kill the guy that shot him, while the grenade launcher does, and if my teammate goes down I can revive him

The grenades just don't do enough damage to justify carrying them. They're great for blowing down a wall but they don't kill unless you're really precise with them.

Re: Battlefield 3

I noticed last night that there were assignments listed after the match was over. Those like challenges?

I do pretty well with the grenade launcher. Just like in BC2, it helps if a) someone is behind a wall or cover, b), in a corridor, or c) higher or lower than your current position. Aiming grenade launcher in an open flatland is pretty difficult....same as a RPG....

This is a great place to use RPG/Grenade Launcher..... (13:20)

Also if you want to see foliage made of kevlar go to 13:10 and 15:10

Re: Battlefield 3

Has anyone else had this problem. Just fired up a game and went online. However, I can't do anything. I can't see or fire my gun, all I see is the reticle. When I go to My Soldier I can't see the dog tags. The tank I was driving didn't make any sounds. Any idea as to what is going on?

I also use the grenade launcher and I LOVE it. I switched back to Health Kits in order to unlock the FAMAS and I just missed the grenades so much. They are so useful to knock people out of buildings (Seine crossing especially), or entryways. You can shoot them at the ceilings above where people are and the "splash" effect will kill people, or you can shoot them next to building corners when you know someone is hiding there, you don't have to get headshots with your grenades, lol. I can't count the # of times I have engaged with someone and then they hide behind something and I switch over to grenade launcher and shoot near where they are hiding and they die. Plus grenades are better for long range kills when people are in buildings or enclosed areas. I like the health kits and in certain situations they are valuable, but for the way i play the grenade laucher is more useful. Unfortunately I'm not as patient as I should be and I tend to take a lot of risks running out into fire, so the med kits option is not as good for me. Maybe I should change the way I play, but I know I won't.

Nothing wrong with some offensive purity, Koolie It's fun chasing you around, throwing ammo packs at your backside LOL

Re: Battlefield 3

I busted the myth of the CITV.

Engineers with a Javelin can use the target designation. On Wake island I was in the CITV, my brother was next to me with a javelin. I lased the chopper and he fired his javelin. No more chopper.

We had control of the air from the ground the entire match.

The CITV is cool but it seems like very few carry the Javelin instead of an RPG/SMAW.
