Re: Battlefield 3

I'm striving for a Rex service star. We were playing Rush on Metro and I had a 5 kill streak with it. We were rolling through the locker room and I rushed out to defend, while we planted. I shot smoke in the ticket booth and whipped out the Rex and started bustin heads with it.. funny stuff.

Re: Battlefield 3

In a little while I will have a service star for 19 different weapons

Re: Battlefield 3

The most service stars I have for a weapon is 4 I believe, I can't play much without being called a hacker right away on the PC... -sigh-'

Also went on a hot streak the past 8 days, rank 36 to 45 now I think..

Battlefield 3 – Armored Kill Map Sizes, Consoles Will Not Get Commo Rose, No More Specialized Assignments and More

33 David Veselka March 26, 2012 Armored Kill, Battlefield, Battlefield 3, News, Uncategorized

Over at the Battlefield 3 UK forums, DICE Senior Designer Gustav Halling was kind enough to answer a number of questions regarding both Battlefield 3 and the future, vehicle heavy DLC, Armored Kill. Here, he spoke of upcoming changes to the Commo Rose, unlocks, assignments and everyone’s favorite topic, map sizes.
First on the cutting block was the topic of the Commo Rose, an important feature of the PC version of Battlefield 3. Obviously, DICE has been working to improve the Commo Rose since launch, something made apparent by the recent images found in the recently released patch notes. Halling revealed that “the final goal is to make it closer to the BF2/2142 one.” He also made it clear that there “no plans to add it on consoles where other automated systems are in place.”
Speaking of unlocks. Halling stated that DICE will not be adding (or removing) vehicle unlocks in the future, although this is contrary to what Senior Designer Alan Kertz recently hinted at regarding vehicle unlocks. “Its a really important gameplay balance between choosing if you want to be an aggressive tanker against infantry or against vehicles. Selecting coax etc.,” mentioned Halling.
Fans worried about having to unbearably trudge through another number of squad deathmatches in order to complete an assignment in future DLC need have no worries. Halling agrees with many fans, stating, “I do agree on that the squad deathmatch [assignment in B2K] wasn’t the best one and I will make sure we do not add ‘win x times’ to such a specialized game mode to it again.”
Halling also mentioned that the artillery system being used in Armored Kill is still a work in progress and couldn’t say how it would end up. He did aks for suggestions, however, keeping these three guidelines in mind: “Needs to be fully effective without help from others. How would the aiming screen look like? camera / minimap? How would team mates be able to help?”
Lastly: Map sizes. By now, most everyone has heard that Armored Kill will feature “the best vehicle experience” and will boast the largest map in BF history. To get a better picture of what the maps might generally look and feel like, Halling mentioned, “I would compare them against Fusshe Pass, Dragon valley and Wetlands,” for those who are familiar with those maps. He also clarified that “flags will also be less clustered in general in AK, giving more room for vehicles but at the same time we can’t forget about infantry also.” He admits that “it’s a hard balance that we are working on all the time.” Halling truly believes “that the maps AK delivers will offer 4 different styles from the biggest most spread out flags and size to the more normal size more comparable to caspian border.”
Is that enough to get your mouth watering? If it was’t, Halling also told the UK forums, “many of the questions I know people been asking and wants include things I can’t answer yet, but it may come as a surprise the coming weeks.” Also, “PS3 players will probably notice some of the things that aren’t in the patch notes on tuesday.”

I have Thursday-Sunday off. Going to get some serious playing time in. Hopefully they don't mess anything up in this patch.

Tonight it seemed like everyone was getting their last chance to use the USAS. I can't wait for them to nerf it and be able to kill those clowns.

I'll hopefully be on at about 11 EST so I should be able to play for a bit. I just hope this patch doesn't mess anything up.

Here's what I'm looking forward to the most

I just can't wait to try out the M60E and G3A3, two guns that were literally like handicaps. Also I always use foregrip/suppressor, so I'm curious to see that nerf as well

Can't wait to be able to jump off a one story building and not go down to 12% health

Want to try out IRNV scopes now (never used it pre-last-patch)

Tank battles will be tougher now, as the shells will do more damage, making reactive armor super helpful. But seeing as how proximity scan is a must for me, it'll be different

**** helicopters. Can't wait until an unguided shell one hit kills them, but flares distract guided missiles? I envision a lot of cursing out good pilots and maybe even not even playing maps with attack choppers. Funny thing is, outside of Chizz, I have the most attack heli kills of anyone I play with in less time. I don't always get to the choppa, but when I do, I run train as a gunner. Won't catch me piloting though unless the pilot gets killed or bails out and I save it

My trusty M98B will no longer outclass the L96, so I might give the L96 a try

I really wished they made it so when you shoot a USAS-12 or MK3A1 with frag rounds, it blows up in your face and instead of "bad luck" it says "MAN UP, USE A REAL GUN, AND STOP RUINING THE GAME FOR OTHER PEOPLE". But sadly we will still see people spamming it in CQC, and I don't think their nerf will be enough. More "**** YOU!" 's to come

Claymores will now damage buggys and maybe even kill you if you drive over it. That will be interesting

NO MORE ZOMBIE C4. Cannot wait until I get rewarded for saving my tank from getting blown up only for the dude to detonate from his deployment when he respawns

No more snipers on Tehran Highway or over the one flag on Gulf of Oman or on the tower thing on Kharg Island or on any tall building with no means of getting them down

Finally, "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEP" *roadkill*

Reading Battlelog forums, guys are saying the following things:

- 5 flag Wake Island
- Can quit in between matches
- Only 4 suppression assists needed for ribbon

But who knows

Re: Battlefield 3

Pricing for renting your own server is $1.49 / $6.99 / $24.99 / $64.99 (for 1, 7, 30, and 90 days). Something I saw on battlelog.

Honestly I see no need for doing the long term servers. Whenever we have a practice/clan battle planned then we can rent a server but doing something like 90 or 30 seems silly unless you paln on having CB's every day or practices every day.

The 90 days servers would be excellent for like guys that host tourneys and ladders but not for guys like us IMO.

We will talk in the PS3 BF3 discussion though about what everyone wants to do.

You could rent your own server? Nice.

That's weak. After all the time I spent in a Jet just trying to get my first unlock
