Is it me or the game run way more smoothly since the patch?

Because I just learned how to link properly

>>>/vg/2504442

Is the old thread.

>>2684665
patch makes this the best BF so far by far. still needs to fix some things, but its fun as fuck now. i can actually see and move around smoothly.

>>2684690
You dont need to link the board if you are already on that board
>>2504442

So is there a consensus yet?

Foregrip+Suppressor

vs

FlashSupp+Nothing

>>2684665
Definitely seems like it.

>>2684741
Welcome to /vg/ friend.

Why is it that all of the servers are dead? Can't find a match with more than 3 people

Have the patch hit PC? Suddenly i can change the map overlay and there is a fucking helicopter on sharqi rush.

>>2684743
Neither dipshit
Its different for each gun when will people figure this out

>>2684792
yes today you tard. have you been paying attantion at all?

They went a little overboard with the tank buff.

An unguided jav disables you in one hit.

>>2684754
Stop using quick match

>>2684823
>Buff.

*Nerf.

>my face when the US Assault has black arms now.

About fucking time, that shit seriously rustled my jimmies.

>>2684823
Tanks are made of paper now. I'd be certain the stationary rocket launchers will destroy your tank if hit in the back vent.

>>2684814

I've been busy with real life, No need to be hostile my friend.

Apparently KH2002 with flash suppressor is OP as shit currently.

DATS RACIST

>>2684961
I've had that happen twice

>>2684880
What I hate most is that the 1-hit kill aerial vehicle tank shell buff is useless, because if a helicopter decides to ruin your day, you will already be disabled before they've decended into your FoV.

>>2684937

Yeah, no recoil at all.

Also, rumour is IRNV is un nerfed for some reason

Any bro able to confirm?

>>2685065
Don't worry, you don't even need to see them. A TV missile already wrecks your shit so you had better not stop for more than 2 seconds. I would much rather deal with tanks the way they were before, or even with a very minor nerf of 10-15%. But this is an incredible difference.

When is the patch for 360 coming?

>>2685125
never

>>2685125

you don't want it

>>2685121
Tank gets TV missile.

Game balanced.

This should happen.

>>2685153
Yes I do.

>>2684937
>not playing engi master race

why would you medic when theres vehicles everywhere?

Is there any reason to even jump into a tank now?

Just tried hip firing with an SMG. I sprayed the wall surrounding my enemy very nicely.

>>2685338
I just started using reactive and don't see too much of a difference now. It's a bit harder and teh repair speed is fucking stupid but you can still rack up kills with it. Shot down 3 helicopters with main cannon since the patch dropped too. I always said tanks were too good in the hands of a good driver before this patch.

Apparently jets cant be hit by heat seekers fired from other jets, helis, and MAA.

>>2685421

Nah I've definitely been hit by a missile from a heli today.

>>2685417
tanks were OP. /vg/ just bitches because they suck at video games.

>>2685421
nope they work. just everyone uses flares man.

>>2685338
They're nerfed, but that just makes them a little less unstoppable.

I would say infantry has a fair chance now, chopper will cause buttpain though.

>>2685421

The other day me and a bro were chasing an enemy jet and we fired 8+ missiles and never died or get disabled. Fucking dice

>>2685529
>>2685476

This shit is buggy as fuck. Other people use their flare immediately after I launch it and the rocket misses by a mile. When I do it half the time I still get hit.

I'd only buy the infantry kits, since I hadn't unlocked all the vehicle ones. It's only like £15 for them all.

I need to find myself a bro that can fly so I can get my last 3 attack chopper unlocks too bad it's camped by retards who can't fly for shit so I don't even bother anymore and just go on foot all the time.

>RPK with extended mag has 200 rounds

>>2688129
I prefer the M240B because when I go support it's with bipod and 3.4x scope for covering fire (especially on damavand in one of the hallways in the tunnel and just mow down anyone who tries to enter)

>>2688076
Recently I've been getting better at flying, but I can't evade jets for shit. Jets are the only thing that makes this game unfun. Almost impossible to land a Stinger on them now so your only hope is soflam + javelin. And I'm pretty sure you can still outrun them which is dumb. Sure, you keep them out of the fight for a whole 10 seconds but so few people play support that you'll run out of rockets quickly.

>>2688248
>Jets are the only thing that makes this game unfun.
Just stop sucking.

>>2688315
Sure thing, boss. I'll make sure to remember that when you can do a single rocket pod pass on a tank and get a kill now since they are made of wet paper

>>2688373
Alright yeah, I have to agree that's kind of bullshit, but jets are definitely fun.
I'm sure with some maneuvering you can avoid being killed in one pass, since most jet pilots are shit.

i´m still stuck at work, how´s the new patch? air rape everywhere? i heard there´s a new radar hack now

>>2688248

Why hello there cannon fodder! Let me guess... you're the asshole that spends the entire round spinning around in circles spamming Stingers at jets in the futile hope that you score a kill. God forbid you actually use your kit for taking out armor or supporting friendly vehicles with repairs.

You disgust me.

>>2684961
this happened to me, i had a friend drive a jeep and push me into the enemy lines until someone killed me

>>2688527
Tanks - Worthless paper bags
Jets - Slighty better since tanks are worthless, otherwise virtually no change
Helicopters - Have time to react to jets hitting you now but you'll be at half health easily still

Infantry is where this game will turn to eventually but even then DICE added some very questionable changes.

>>2688527

Air radar hack?

[citation needed]

>>2688618

Trying to chase jets with javelins is retarded and ultimately pointless in 90% of cases, since even properly locked on javs almost never catch up to the jets. However, taking out choppers with javelins is invaluable, especially if the pilot is good enough to properly outmaneuver tank shells and stays out of range of IGLA/Stingers. Many an ass was ravaged on Sharqui when someone good gets into one of the helicopters.

>>2688618
>he doesn't know the stingers got buffed
>implying you know how I play
They lock on a target in 1.5 seconds and disable on hit.

>>2688787

>1.5 seconds

Woah, they are actually useful now? Considering flares can no longer break lockon, they are even better.

>>2688232
Yeah, I did the same thing, but decided to give the RPK a chance. I didn't think the extended mag would be over 100. I don't play support often so I don't know if this change will make it worth using though.

>>2688787

1.5 seconds.. oh shit. Time for more phantom locks from tones that I didn't even hear. And I'm not talking about random missile lock from already fired AA missiles meant for other aircraft, but guys on the ground that locked me up but I never heard the tone. Now THAT shit pisses me off.

For some reason it seems to happen with guys that have extremely low pings to me as well. Just happened to me last night. I was doing a run on a pair of tanks on Kharg near C and just flying past the beach when I heard the missile away tone. Now I'm running ECM but I managed to do the typical somersault just in time to dodge the missiles and lo and behold the smoke trails come off the LAV-AD..no other aircraft in sight so his missiles couldn't have changed direction. I just never heard his tone.

Goddamn the range on stingers is fucking terrible..

Also.. lolrandomloadouts..

Spawn in, leave m4a1 the same to see how bad the foregrip/suppressor is now.. Find I have the reflex instead of kobra and flashlight instead of suppressor
Also using the m9.

Guess the patch has just defaulted everything to first unlocks..

Xbro here.

Have some question for people with patch.

Are the Mobile AA's weak like regular tanks now?
Is the AN-94 better/worse?
If tanks are really weak now how many bricks of C4 does it take to blow them up?
For PS3 , does it have more VoiceOver lines/Full Russian voiceovers now?

Just dropped in to say that the F-35 is VERY close if not identical to the F-18 in terms of handling now. No more boat jet. The cannon "style" has been changed to the rest of the jets and the hover mode only engages at low altitudes and takes a while to engage.

>>2690242

>2012
>using attachments except bipod for LMG

I SHIGGIDY DIGGIDY

>>2690291
YES.

Is there any way of countering jets now unless you are in a jet yourself?

>>2690748

Heat-seekers seem terrible now, only laser-guided rockets seem to have hope.

>>2690838

And those can be disrupted with flares now...It's like BF2 jet domination all over.

>>2690838
It seems you're right. Hmm.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaYQiSG-71c

>>2690891

Great, so we're getting closer to BF2 with BF3 graphics one patch at a time, just what /v/ wanted.

>>2689491
It handles a lot better now, and it's no longer an achievement worth tooting your horn for when successfully climbing a curb (which previously was fucking horrible).

>drive EOD bot around to test its new maneuvers
>enemy tank
>new and improved EOD bot can keep up with its jerky movements
>"Me [EOD BOT] FagetInTank"

And oh my god repairs with the torch are slow as shit now. You are going to need to bro up with another Engineer to repair one tank if you wish it to last longer than, lets say, a nanosecond. Plus it feels like tanks burn for fucking ever now, and needs to be repaired to 100% to not burn until selfdestruct ... with the slow ass torch, it's ass.

>>2690963

I need to test it out, but I'm pretty sure the EOD bot repairs faster than the the repair torch (or rather, it originally repaired at the same speed and it didn't get the nerf). Probably another way to get people actually using the most neglected unlock in the game.

>>2691037
controlling it on console is just retarded , but well since they nerfed the mav i'll need to learn to use that bot

>>2690963

Tanks are pretty much transport vehicles now, one time use into the battle then bail out since there is no way you can keep up the repairs.

Enjoy your no mods, map packs for money and pay-to-win.

did they give the famas more damage or something? i seems rapey.

and i thought the g3 was gonna be good after this patch ;_;

support bros whom use lmg with foregrip, you guys notice a big difference in recoil?

(i only use P90 when support)

>dat feel when all PDW are now useless

Are there any prerequisites for joining the /v/ platoons?

I can see they have touched my beloved M249.
Haven't had the time to play it yet, but how is it handling now?

Considering the buff to the PKP and the M60, is it worth switching out the M249?

LMG changes:
>-M249: Added an initial recoil. The M249 is the fastest firing belt fed LMG, giving it superior suppressive and damage abilities. The initial recoil makes it a bit harder to run and gun, while making little overall impact on performance.

-Type-88: Slightly increased the initial recoil, reduced muzzle drift. The Type88 fires the slowest of the medium caliber LMGs, though what it lacks in rate of fire it makes up for in controllability.

>-PKP: Reduced recoil but added a slight initial recoil, increased damage at max range. The Pecheneg has a heavy vertical recoil with a hard hitting round and little drift, this makes it excellent at sustained fire.

-M60: Reduced the initial recoil, increased damage at all ranges. The M60 has a very low rate of fire that makes it the most controllable with the powerful 7.62x51mm round.

>-M240B: Added an initial recoil, increased damage at all ranges. The fastest firing medium MG, the M240 has a substantial muzzle kick and drift that makes all that power difficult to control.

>-Increased the Speed at which a bipod is deployed, allowing the user to obtain the bipod’s bonus sooner after the deploy has started and allowing the weapon to be aimed in a far shorter time. The speed has been increased 40-50%, depending on the weapon and animation.

>>2686593

I like that. LGA1155 right?

>>2691497
>Either pay money to get good equipment, or spend ten hours *grinding* in an FPS.

So instead of making the gameplay fun, they've hooked you by getting you addicted to unlocks. Sounds fun.

>>2690963
A tank that got disabled needed to be repaired to 100% to have full mobility before the patch as well. It isn't new. You can only repair about 70% of the tanks health in the ENTIRE duration of the repair tool though. That is retarded as fuck.

>>2691597
Welcome to modern FPS. Enjoy your stay.

>>2690963
It's always been that you have to repair to 100% if the tank drops below 50%.

Quick questions to those who have the patch

Are at-mine useful now? the patch notes said that they won't automatically appear unless spotted by an enemy and that they are only spotted for 15 seconds instead of 30. the only time I see someone die to at-mines is when they're in a jeep or when they get taken out by friendly mines being shot.

Are you still able to hide explosives under ammo/health boxes, which is to say, Did the icon tweaks make it so its obvious that there is an explosive under a box?

They say that Guided rockets will now only track ground vehicles, does that include the guided shell from tanks?

Is the havok actually flyable now or does it still fly like a bag of dick rolling down a hill of cunts?

Has anyone gotten a kill using any of the environments explosive containers? is the fix so you get the kill working?

They state they're fixing the amtrac's turret, does it no longer move with the vehicle's turn now? how did they fix this?

Does the IRV scope tweak make it usable again?

thanks if anyone answers these.

>instead of increasing the damage tank shells did to other tanks they simply reduced the armor tanks have

GOOD JOB DICE. I SURE LOVE JET AND HELI RAPE. BUT AT LEAST I MIGHT GET A SMALL CHANCE TO HIT YOUR FLYING VEHICLE WITH A TANK SHELL FOR A 1 HIT KNOCK OUT. OH WAIT, NOT EVERYONE IS STUPID ENOUGH TO TURN AROUND RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

YES I MAD

I really liked how they changed the asval. Still godly in cqc but now it's even better on medium range. Yeah, the new spread/recoil makes even little bursts useless but on single shot recoil is nonexistent, you can seriously use it like a very precise pistol.

I can't love a gun more than this.

>>2691695
They don't glow white under thermal vision like they did before, however they have a bright orange marker over them constantly once they've been spotted. Not sure if it's good or bad to be honest, they should be slightly more useful now, although the big spot marker over them looks kinda dumb. They'll be much better on HC servers due to 3d spotting being disabled.

FAMAS is now utter shit, I think AEK is now the best AR as far as I could tell.

Also, M60 is just unlocked for me since I barely touched support. Its fucking awesome, just the weapon I needed. Slow and delivers a punch.

Anyways, I think I'll go with AEK-M60-SCAR-L96 since my old set, FAMAS-M249-G36C got nerfed. Any better choices with the new patch? Also, does 870 still kill in one shot at 0 to close range?

>>2691695
>Is the havok actually flyable now or does it still fly like a bag of dick rolling down a hill of cunts?

It seems easier (I don't fly much, but I certainly didn't smash into the ground) and I think they changed the tail so it won't hit every single light post. Some faggot in a jet rammed me but I didn't die, instead the whole heli was sideways, but for some reason I instantly recovered it. Not sure if it was just lag/client mismatch or what (like when tanks run into each other and rubberband)

Don't know why everyone's crying about tank nerfs. A decent tank-driver with a team of engies was an unstoppable rape machine. Hopefully people start actually playing tanks like they're expensive pieces of machinery that can be destroyed than flying up and assfucking everyone. Probably not though since 99% of servers are instant vehicle respawn.

>>2691938
As a person who plays infantry most of the time as Assault, I can deal with playing against overpowered tanks and let the soflam/javelin or heli/jet take care of them. The way it is now, tanks are basically non-existant.

>>2691695
Havoc is a bit quicker now. It yaws better and generally moves faster, not quite as good as the US heli but it's not a pain to fly anymore.

>>2691893

M16 was the best AR pre-patch and it's still the best AR now.

Fucking bullshit. Fucking, utter complete fucktarded bullshit.

What the actual fuck is with some jet pilots? I consider myself to be fairly decent with it comes to the jet. but god damn, some people I joust couldn't fucking touch.

Like this last match I was in, this guy comes up behind me, I pull some maneuvers, keeping my speed at optimum so I'm pulling the tightest 9 G turns, using my pitch that is binded to a key for more consistent turning, and yer this fucker is still able to shoot me down after a little while? How the fuck is he able to line up shots if I'm pulling the tightest turns physically possible in the jets?

Goddamn, usually when i meet a skilled pilot we have some epic duels and it's pretty evenly matched in terms of score and kills. But this motherfucker was goddamn untouchable. And to boot, he has a goddamn youtube channel dedicated to his BF3 fukery.

Fuck.

>>2692085
They feel balanced now rather than OP. Tank drivers just need to l2p a bit now. You can't really just charge into a point and completely wipe out all the infantry there, it's better to start at range and wear them down through shelling as you approach.

I do agree with other comments that repairs are painfully slow now though: Repairing my tank from 10% health, my blowtorch overheated twice before fully repairing. Previously it would only overheat at around 90%.

>>2692335
Heavy brake. But maybe they finally fixed it.

>>2691695

Guided rockets is the attack helicopter pilot upgrade. This doesnt apply to guided missile or guided shell, those still track designated aircraft.

Guided rocket just helps the rocket pods hit a target. Doesnt require designation but gets assisted by it.

Havoc is pretty damn nice now.. just had a little fuck around with it. Cant say for sure if its as good as viper yet but its much much better than it was.

F35 is also not rubbish anymore. Still seems to try to fly downward a little bit sometimes and the targetting is still slightly wierd buts im probably going to be happy to fly them now

>>2692401


What do you mean? I've noticed the jet handles slightly different now but I just tap the S key until I hit about 310-315 MPH to turn better. But still, that fucker...

>>2692335
>>2692401

Heavy brake doesnt help turning fights at all

Guess he was just more optimal than you. You cant keep the speed perfect, and he started in a good position then everytime his speed goes perfect and yours is slightly out he'll probably be nicely lined up.

And "pull some maneuvers" makes it sound like your did something stupid

>>2692651


By "pull some maneuvers" I mean shit like fly close to the ground with afterburner to make him speed up to me, then bank hard with both upward pitch and sideways yaw to come about, I usually can get behind someone pretty quick that way. Didn't fool that fucker though.

I have a question about flying: does having your joystick throttle on full impede your ability to slow down and pull tight turns? I've been attempting to get into flying and I noticed that enemy jets always get behind me no matter what I do. Even if they pass me at 180 degrees and I "brake" into a turn, they still get behind me and take me out in one burst.

Any jet pilots want to do some investigative reporting? I know they said MAV elevators were patched but we now know they weren't. I want to know if it is still possible to dodge missiles.

New Comms Rose is lovely. New mini-map settings are nice, too. First game of the day bagged me 19k as an Assault. Whatever this patch did to the AEK-971 is great.

Jet to Jet dog-fighting is now useless. The cannon does so little damage against other jets that it takes almost 2 seconds of CONTINUOUS fire to kill them. Not disable, just kill. In the hour of flying I've done post patch I only managed to score 2 dogfight kills. Each one the guy was in the Su-35 giving me a bigger hitbox and he was flying sideways with his full profile showing to me. I fucking counted 27 bails during that hour. TWENTY FUCKING SEVEN BAILS! Many before I even got the disable, the pilot would just jump out.

Stingers also lock on almost instantly from a jets point of view. Get ready to ECM at the first sign of tone. No exceptions. Air radar is also full of XBOX HUEG icons that take up almost the entire map when you are flying over the battlefield. Prepare to be snuck up on by enemy jet or helo all the god damn time.

I'm fucking raging bro. This is not what I wanted air combat wise.

Good news though is that infantry now make up most of my kills. The jet cannon will now end a grunts life in almost half the time as before. Tanks are wet paper bags like most people have stated (unfortunately, I like tanking from time to time) which makes for easy double kills and you now more reliably hear when you are taking fire in a jet. F-35 is also god like.

>Pic releated. Going to take much longer now to breach the 10k kill mark.

This patch made my mind up, Not gonna get those expansion packs since they all will be infantry shit even the supposedly "vehicle ones"

Judging by this patch if this is how they treat vehicles in battlefield 3 then i'm not gonna take part in this COD infantry only clone.

>Game still has VO language setting in sound menu
>It's still locked to English.

>>2692786

While youre doing that he has a pretty sweet shot at the top of your jet, and then he can just do the identical move and you havent gained any ground on him.

Also, flipping battle > turning battles

Well as long as youre good at controlling your speed against gravity

>>2692856

>Finally a decent comrose
>Nobody will ever use it.

I've using that shit like a motherfucker to try to get people involved, no effect.

>>2692949

We are the only two who say "Thanks" and "Sorry", I guess.

>>2692978
The "Thanks" is so tsundre.

I think they also added the Issue Order for Squad Leaders, but that might have been in the game already. I just got back in because of the patch.

>>2692830

PADDLES?
http://youtu.be/V9AkvnSYO8s
PADDLES

>>2692842

You don't even have to dodge missiles anymore in a jet, jets and AA vehicle's missiles doesn't hit, They explode behind the jet and do no damage.

Stinger/IGLA has such a low range that they are only good at taking out choppers now leaving jets to dominate the battleground once more.

>>2693031
PADDLES!

>>2693015

They changed it so you have to select "Give Order" to mark an objective. I think this is so you don't mark an objective when you try to spot.

>russians apologising

Do russian soldier still curse after getting revive? Or is that intentional?

>>2693031
>>2693084

Oh my god that video was not long enough. I can't stop laughing.

>>2693224
it was when reviving. they fixed it weeks ago

>mfw the new AKS-74U
Dat complete lack of recoil after the initial jump.

>>2693135
As someone who taps Q constantly I was so happy to see this. fucking drove me nuts spotting as SL before:
>ATTACK HERE
>ATTACK THIS POSITION
>ATTACK THIS LOCATION

>>2693367
Also do Defibs still score a kill? I haven't managed to get close enough to do it yet. I'd like to practice before Ziba Tower, provided it's worth the effort.

>>2693367

DICE actually had them make a live-action TV ad for them.
http://youtu.be/BkHuUpGzOZs

As part of it the guys got to play with an actual tank, and so made this
http://youtu.be/7x2WQ6XLv_o

They're pretty good.

>>2693413
Of course they do. Remember how Medics would aggressive swear at their patient when reviving them? ZAP ZAP MOTHER FUCKER! and all that? Those were meant for Defib kills, not revives.

>you were killed by HairClub4Men

MY SIDES

>>2693573

I am excite now. I had more Defib kills than Knife kills in BC2.

>>2693413
>>2693573
unless they added it in the patch there is like a 3% to kill if you defib someone in the chest. Its stupid as shit and I miss zaping bitches.

360 user here.

If i rented a server and put the no fun allowed rules, would you guys be interested? Might rent a server for 1-7 days to judge the popularity of it.

For those who don't know, no fun allowed rules are:
>no infantry and vehicle health regen
>no 3rd person vehicles
>friendly fire on
>squad leader spawn only

Might be more but that's what it mostly has

>>2693838

God I'd love to see CoDkiddies playing on that server.

>that feel when not a single BF2 Settings server on PC

So what do you guys think of the patch? Personally I'm really liking it.

fuck it, im having BC2 flashbacks, time for some old greentext

(from a "last character you played with is your sitcom roomie: thread)
Medic from BFBC2

>Defibs me every time I go to sleep
>Hits me with med kits when I get a papercut or something
>He only speaks Russian
>keeps getting sniped every time he walks by the window of the apartment
>His respawn is in the shower
>medkits only contain vodka
> keeps tracer darting the ceiling fan
>His squad is always loitering around the house
>Russian assault shoots smoke grenades into the kitchen and steals beer
>Russian engineer constantly repairs my car but leave At mines in the front yard*
>Russian recon keeps leaving c4 around the house which I have been collecting and putting in the trunk of his car.
>an American Recon lives across the street and throws motion mines through our window at night to keep us up.
>No one bothers shooting me.

The first episode is about how uncomfortable it is to be in the apartment with each other as he doesn't respect me,
but he sees me in a new light after running over an American squad that had him and his squad pinned down while they were barhopping.

The plot for episode 9 Is both the American squad members and Russian squad members are invited to a war
and are embarrassed to find out they all chose recon! Hilarity ensues.


* In Ep. 7 we discover that AT mines can be set off by anything cat sized or larger.

>>2694102

Season one finale

>American engineer shows up with an Abrams tank
>It gets hit once with an rpg, he jumps out and runs into the American recons house
>Russian Assault hits the tank with a smoke grenade, Russian medic steals the tank and parks it in the front yard
>full scale firefight ensues, Russian engineer and assault hiding behind the tank with the recon in the attic window. Americans are shooting out of the American recons house.
>Russian assault fumbles a live grenade ("it was lag, I swear!") which rolls under the tank and sets off the AT mines littering the front year
>tank is propelled top first into the Recons house
>medic crawls out of tank hatch into the second story of the house. Leans himself against the wall
>Bloody and hurt, he pulls a bottle of vodka out of the medkit, go to take a swig
>The sound of a revolver cocked is heard, the medic pauses and looks up, the recon has a gun in his face
>The recon takes the bottle and tosses it away.
> The medic looks down, game over.
>
>
>..
>medic looks up, recon has holstered the revolver, has a bottle of tequila and shot glasses
>scene fades, Credits roll over a picture of both squads and me at a bar drinking

Season two starts with the COD Multiplayer characters moving into the apartment building on the other side of the park (which is next door, what a coincidence!)

>>2693838
So Hardcore mode?

>>2694225
BF3 support roomate
>Keeps putting claymores at the front door
>throws c4 on my car and tells me to drive into "something"
>Keeps setting up a mortar in the backyard
>keeps getting shot off the mortar
>Sets up a bipod in the window and shoots at the neighbor kids
>tried to make a "jihad Cat"
>killed my cat
>Keeps getting roadkilled by Mavs
>chases after cars with c4
>Steals my flashlights for his gun
>Taped all five onto his gun
>Shines said flashlights in assault's face
>His squad keeps leaving Tugs and Eod bots over at my house
>Converted the Eod Bot into a beer bot
>Engineer Lit My car on fire with a blow torch
>House has a No sniper rifle policy
>Recon puts a 12x scope on a shotgun
>recon is beaten savagely
>Patents the "Knifescope" while recovering at the hospital

So I recently replayed BC2. It's fun, but compared to BF3 it just feels like such codshit.

>Medic with run and gun LMG that has no deploy mechanic
>Knife animation is 1:1 copy of the one in CoD
>UAV feels like a killstreak where you activate it for a few seconds, shoot a rocket at someone and then it's shot down, with a cooldown

>No weapon sway anywhere
>Maps are either open field recon duck hunt or corridors
>Infantry focus

>>2694401

Vehicles were so easy to bust up, looking back.

Did they lower the requirement for suppression ribbons? I got 2 today and I'm not even really trying to suppress.

>>2694559
Yep. Those suppression-ribbons are just pouring in now.

>>2694629
Awesome. That's one of the few medals I don't have. So, is it 5 assists now? On Battlelog it still says 7.

>>2694559
>>2694629

I don't get it. Why even reward people at all if you're going to make it that easy to get. It's like achievements for beating the first level of a game.

I really like the changes to deplorables. Being able to throw run down and run away rather than have to rip the screen out of your face is a great feature.
And the changes to the actual deploying is great. I had a SOFLAM sitting on a window sill, and you can actually hide your Spawn Radio now.

>>2694559
They buffed suppression, so you are probably suppressing people enough to get Suppression Assists now.

>>2694401
I so don't see what you mean

>UAV feels like a killstreak where you activate it for a few seconds, shoot a rocket at someone and then it's shot down, with a cooldown

Use optics upgrade and learn to lead targets. I used to keep the same UAV from the first base throughout whole games while fucking every armored vehicle and AA gun.

>>2694702

The reward isn't the medal/dogtag, it's the number of X displayed on your dogtag when you equip it.

>>2694793

Oh god, I'm actually getting motion-sickness from watching those faggots zoom around like the predator, was it always like that or are the videos sped up?

It is still possible to roadkill with the MAV without destroying it, albeit much harder

>>2695067
exactly as it is

>>2694793

My god

>In jet on Kharg
>Strafe some shit on the floor but need to pull out
>Flare a lock-on and turn hard with afterburners out to sea from that large factory control point
>Locked on again like a second later but manage to dodge behind the tanker

What's with the lock-on times? Were they changed?

>>2694793

I'll think twice before making any sort of complaint about BF3 from now on. That just hurts to look at.

>>2695292

1.5 second lock on time. Just run ECM. Jet to Jet AA missiles are severely bugged and rarely hit. Ground stinger range against jets renders them useless past the control point the user is on. AA tanks and jet pilots good with their cannon are the only thing that can knock out a jet currently with any sort of consistency.

I'm starting to think that DICE breaks shit just to troll. How did they manage to fuck up jet heat seekers is beyond me considering they were perfectly fine since release.

>>2692862

Wait

F35 is usable now?

Actually, I just checked for the suppression ribbons. Brace your anus.

You only need 4 assists for a ribbon.

Battlelog will probably have that updated once Xbox gets the update.

F-18 maneuverability with the ability to hover. However you can only hover at certain heights so no hovering at 500 feet and taking pot shots at the ground. If you choose to hover you are at risk of RPG'S and tank shells.

Apparently that's a good one but I haven't tried it yet.

I'm on PS3 and I'm on my first 700 ticket match. Holy shit.

>>2695569

Yep all its bullshit hover problems are gone. The thing is actually decent to fly.

Note, when I had time to play around there were no gulk/wake servers with people up, so wasnt actually fighting so may be still UP compared to the flanker/hornet in terms of maneuverability but you wont rage just trying to turn it around fast.

The patch that broke the game, See you all at 2143.

>Conquest
>enemy team baserapes us
>top 2 MVPs are our team

BG&BM.

>>2696725
I don't want a 2143.

EA and DICE will casualize it to cather to the Halo AND CoD audience.

I'm hearing that the Xbox patch hasn't even entered certification yet, and it's going to be another month?

The fuck, man.

Before i buy bf3, IS ORIGIN SPYWARE?

Cool laser gun, guys.

So nobody else is getting "disconnected from EA Online" within 30 seconds on every server they join?

Seriously, this shit is ridiculous. I didn't use to be one of the people with this problem but since this morning I basically can't play. I don't understand.

>Come up against one of these jet whores who somehow turn 180 degrees in half a second

Just what is the point?

This shit is so fucking retarded.

Go at him head-on. We pass each other and start turning around at that sweet spot (like 310 which pulls 10g) to go agai--- Oh nevermind, he's already on your tail and you're dead.

And then you ask them how and they say "lol im good and u bad hehe" because flying jets with arcade physics is pretty hardcore.

>>2698430
>not using passing helicopters to rebound off

>>2698474

I think they fixed that

My jet blew up earlier when the tip of my right wing went through some leaves on a tree.

TDM Kharg was without a doubt the worst thing in BF3.

Then again.. I guess it kept some cod kiddies out of proper servers.. but theyll just stick with TDM anyway wont they?

Had a littlebird i possibly could not lock on with my stinger/IGLA on sharqi rush, dead nada nothing it was raping everyone including the children and we could do nothing.

>>2700368

Was it low to the ground? Below radar works against stingers/iglas now

Although in saying that.. god I had a game of firestorm to try out the aa launchers now.. could barely lock anything. Range is pathetic and had so many locks going wonky. Had a viper far off the ground and no obstacles between us and would start the lock then lose it half a second later then startback up and repeat. No countermeasures anywhere or anything to distract my lock..

>>2694401
>Maps are either open field recon duck hunt or corridors

Strangely enough I get that feeling more from BF3 than BC2

I find this news about cardboard tanks disturbing.

>>2695630
This is everything wrong with Battlefield.

>>2700570

>Below radar works against stingers/iglas

So what the fuck am i suppose to do against him? Defenders doesn't have any vehicles and boolets/rpgs are too slow to even get the little bird with

Basically it went from attackers struggling with getting bases to raping everything without stopping, The fuck is Dice even doing with "their" game?

>>2700368
just shot the cockpit on littlebirds

Is the patch out for PC now? Game just started updating.

>>2701194
It's been out for 12 hours now.

>>2700768

Little bird is easy to shoot the pilot out of
If theyre that low theyre either not doing much or theyre rpg fodder
Could soflam it also.

How is the new suppression?

Great. Really great. Now even more chopper fucknuts think they can be AA and do nothing else than trying to shoot down jets with their fucking missiles. And thanks to the nerfed jet cannon it gets even MORE tedious than before.
Fuck you DICE. Some changes are great but this is utter bullshit.

OP, thank you for posting platoon information.
Don't be scared to join and idle in raidcall. We all play BF3, and play Civ4: Beyond the Sword as well as many other games.

>>2703342
SOFLAM still gets bombed to hell as soon as it is planted.
On the rare occasion where this didn´t happen I recieved no passive points whatsoever. Seems like the thing is still incapable of painting targets on its own.

Meh, getting tired of being killed by people I shot 2-3 times while they walk away taking little to no damage. Maybe it's my shitty wi-fi but shots that would've been guaranteed kills in better games just don't seem to be enough in BF3.

I just had a moment where I knew a guy was coming around the corner and I had my sights lined up. He turns the corner running full speed, I light him up before he even realizes I'm there, then he starts shooting and kills me.

I was using a suppressed M4A1.

Those what-the-fuck moments like that ruin the game for me.

>>2703772

People seem to think it's a laser sight and just fucking ignore it. I've seen enemy SOFLAMs last entire god damn games because nobody bothers to clear it.

>>2704021
>people ignoring a laser sight

are they stupid?
My first reaction when a laser is shined in my face is to turn towards the laser, and unload a shot to see if I get a hit marker.

>>2703752
where are you from?

>>2704021
SOFLAMs seem to be items that have this "if the enemy has it, it rules. If I have it, it sucks" curse to it.
I always try to soflam vehicles when I play recon but most of the time it gets destroyed instantly. Especially enemies with guided shells / rockets seem to like those +20 points they get from destroying it a lot.
Fucking hell.

Well today is gonna be a long day.

>>2704616
Semi-autos seem to be bugged, especially the DAO-12. Some people report it has no RoF limit. I tried myself and it's definitely faster but it doesn't seem to be unlimited.
Also the M1014 is insanely good right now, I don't know if it's bugged as well, but I could fire it at some crazy speeds (whole extended mag in less than 2 seconds).

>>2704616

>>2705053

Shit. Though I suppose due to the bolt actions buff, it's okay.

But are they different? Or are they still more or less 1 gun with 4 different skins?

>>2705119
You've clearly not played CS:GO

>>2705018
Saiga is not much better than before, the larger Extended Mag really only helps when you spam it. And it still has the worst spread along with the USAS

>>2704578
I know that feel, bro.

Won't be able to sit down in front of my PC before saturday and I haven't even started to download the patch yet.

>faggot spawnkilling
>leave helicopter
>start repairing
>helicopter explodes without being hit while i repair it

>>2705168

thats the exception, while everyone on cs:go hacks and/or is 12, it has a 'super ultra pro hardmode difficulty' thing that attracted faggots back in the olden days of shooting games that results in a maintained, albeit the shittiest of all time, playerbase regardless of the games many faults.

bf3 is just a big game from a big name developer that still can't get rid of hackers and poor game design. spawncamping shouldn't be possible, let alone encouraged, and stolen vehicles should be either less effective or should self destruct shortly after being stolen, tanks aren't designed to be as accessible as possible to people from foreign nationales, shits just dumb.

also the US tank still has no distance notches in its ui, making it inferior to the RU tank, how sad, but a tiny problem compared to the absurd quantity of unpunished hackers and faggotry that runs rampant on the game.

I think that's a bug, happened to me earlier. Got in helicopter and waited a few seconds for a gunner to jump in, hit throttle up and instantly exploded with the 'bad luck' message. Felt like the Challenger or some shit.

Some of the dumbass rules some hosts have astound me.

>>2684812
Judging by those groupings the AN-94 and L85A with heavy barrell + foregrip are retarded accurate.

Has that been the case so far? Have these stood out as such, because those 2 guns I wouldn't mind being the best of the best.

>>2705427
>also the US tank still has no distance notches in its ui, making it inferior to the RU tank

try aiming at infantry close behind you in the US tank.

>>2705721
I've taken to using replacement words for swearing.

For instance, that hacker was a "pathetic hacking spitstain"

Any Eurobros up for a game?

>>2705817

also fun, but i enjoyed tank-sniping with my RU tank from the hill near RU spawn to E on caspian, and it wouldnt've been possible if i couldn't measure 3 'aiming' shots with the notches.

About flight school servers. Are you supposed to practice killing each other or just practice flying?

>>2706064
Why would you practice just flying?
It's not hard at all. The only time I crash from "just flying", is trying to run people over, because that's really effective.

>>2706064
Do you want to unlock flares or not?

>>2706184
With this patch, everyone on PC has flares.

>rpk 200 rounds

now its even better than before

although i will admit the base magazine with 200 rounds looks kinda silly

they should bring back the drums

>>2706379
seconding that motion. xbro here...it's just the regular box mag, same model, but magically has 200 bullets? that's silly

oh also, whoever is doing platoon copypasta:
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391553706576/

that's the 360 platoon

So when are flares compared to ECM useful now?

>>2706554
>it's just the regular box mag, same model, but magically has 200 bullets?

Yes. I feel like it's a glitch or something since it reloads as quick as before and the RPK is more accurate than most LMGs. This means you basically have a slow firing 200 round AR.

Anyhow I'm gonna use it

>>2706681

considering when you pop flares you just get relocked a second later I'd really just go for ECM at all times bro. It blocks locks for a few seconds.

Finaly they removed player names appearing on enemies when looking at them. Makes the game alot more fun since it's now not only about shooting orange(red triangles.

>>2706747
I'm guessing that it's a glitch cause M27 doesn't have ex mags

>>2706768
>>2706681
ECM on helis, flares on jets. ECM is currently all sorts of broken for jets.

my game isn't working, just a black screen whenever i start it. h-help....

I don't see why people were saying semi auto snipers were shit before the patch.

The SVD was and is still a fucking beast.

>>2707021
>broken for jets.

how so?

>>2706554
Ah, you are one of the forgotten, didn't notice that. whats your GT? care to link your battlelog?

Oh shit, this remind me of the old BF2 stats bug thing.

Ignore the massive amount of recon time, I spent most of it mavving for friends. I cant aim worth shit..

>>2707650
lol noticed the post date. Well, hopefully it works anyhow.

>>2707060
do you have a russian version?

>>2707558

Reinstall drivers, update punk buster, reinstall plugins,
repair installation via origin, make sure you don't have things like Peerblocker running. If none of these fixes your problem, I'm sorry.

>>2707773
er, yes

Anyone have link to a non-shit fxaa injector?

I just want to remove the BLUE/ORANGE FILTER.

I cant get it to update, sticks on 0.0%, any advice?

>>2708043
stop browsing 4chan and see if it starts, especially if you have a shit connection

>>2708125

Connection is fine, i uninstalled and now im re-installing it, downloading at 2.3 meg, not long to go, wondering if there is an actual fix to origin not patching it though.

Am I the only one who has never had a problem with MAVs?
Were people really getting killed all the time by them, or were they just mad that a recon was sitting at base doing fuck all?

Were these guys disrupting the game or something? Or do you guys kick people that suck?

>>2708360

>>2708470

Might have been an inactive solder. The /v/ platoons are very full.

>>2690257
>>2708360

>Mobile AA
Probably.
>AN-94
Much better. Heavy Barrel and it's a sniper rifle.
>C4
Still takes 2.
>PS3
Dunno, probably not.

>>2708470

Llama here,
no, alot of inactives were just cleaned up and some people that were in both platoons, were trying to accommodate space for more bros.

>>2708535
Ah okay, I was worried for a sec. Thanks.

So, now that the shitstorm has died down...

What really happened with the reddit match?

>>2708706
thanks.

>>2708582
>Takes 2
It took 3 to kill before. Otherwise you'd leave them with a sliver of health with which they could repair themselves with. Don't want that.
Postpatch, I'm entirely unsure of what guns to use now. AN94, G3, KH2002, L8, and M16 all seem great.
RPK now has 200 mag which makes it more viable.
One of the reasons I'm barely topping 500 with my top weapon was because I tried out every single weapon to pick the best one. Now it feels like I need to do it all over again

The battlelog forums are a mess.

/v/ seems pretty ok with the patch except for the jet buff. Or am I completely missing something?

>>2708793
Reddit cheated by banning players on the 4chan team on arbitrary rules that were never agreed upon like no swearing. They even banned the team leader before the game even started. Then they started gloating everywhere post game like they won fair and square.

4chan team was playing like complete retards either way. I was watching the stream, and he was doing all sorts of stupid shit like ignoring enemies and not looking before going out in the open. And he was in third place most of the match. That means everyone on our team was worse than a retard.

tl;dr both teams were despicable and should feel bad

I just applied for the /v/ platoon. Name is Wasdie in Battlelog. Just a heads up if the platoon leader is browsing.

>>2709034
Those forums, man.

I did play BC2 quite a bit, if that matters.

I've seen some stupid shit in my time, but THIS. Fuck that place.

>>2709173
I sit on it all day at work and it gives me a headache. Is this what PC gaming communities have become?

I almost feel sorry for DICE for having to put up with it, then I remember that they still haven't put an in-game VoiP in so I think it may just be karma.

>rpk
>200 rd extended mag
>mfw

That shit's rediculous

>>2709268
One of the developers even commented that it was a mistake.

Take advantage of it now.
