Which LMG+attachments is the best?

holy shit, you like EA so much you have to write ™?

>>4429290

>>4429209
I'm all about that IAR or whatever it's called.

Just got my joystick. Now I'm really jetin'.

>Enemy PP-2000 has zero spread
>Your M16 shoots sideways

>>4429391
And the US Holo sight.

I love the prox. scan on tanks. Combine it with the canister, and you just start racking up the headshots on rushing support.

>>4429336
Wouldn't the ™ go after the EA? Not endorsed?

Is it just me or does BF3 feel... off? Like it's delayed or something?

It could be that I've gotten back into Quake Live recently and have something to compare it to now, because whenever I play BF3 I feel like my mouse inputs are delayed ever so slightly. It's not accel or anything, but rather like it's just not true 1:1. In Quake it feels perfect.

I know the PS3 has a 200ms delay on inputs. Does PC have that delay as well? Is this a known thing. Are there .ini or .cfg settings somewhere I need to change?
...or am I crazy?

>>4429990
If you're gay maybe.

>>4429736

i forget what it was, but there's something funky about sights like that

use the iron sights instead

>>4430364
Blocks a lot of the screen for me, some iron sights do that and I'll preferably go for the Kobra, but whatever is unlocked first, RDS, Holo is what I'll use until then.

Tank loadouts and why please. I just got all the unlocks, and I'm not sure how to balance myself well.

Ay, anyone on 360 that plays fairly regularly, feel free to shoot me a friend request on Battlelog so I can get an idea of who is playing and can join up with you. Trying to extend my networks on there beyond just my Platoon guys.

Does anyone feel as though they're doing nothing but being a useless piece of shit all day? No matter how many points I cap or how many times I make it out of those entraces to the Metro, I can never seem to secure victory. It always gets to the point where I can't cap the last flag and I feel awful.

Holy shit, I looked at the platoon stats for /vg/ 360 2, me and my friend pretty much have all the slots covered.

>>4430837
I prefer:
Autoloader to fire more quicker.
IR Smoke since Javelins get annoying really quick.
Canister shell, since it actually will fuck up people and aircraft fairly well.

>>4430924
Hmm, I may have to switch to canister shell. Right now I think I'm running Proxy Scan, IR Smoke and LMG

>>4430924
>>4431195
I have to try out proximity scan though, but I probably wouldn't find it useful since I keep tabs on my tank's ass fairly well.

>>4430924
Don't you get C-4'd a lot?

>>4431307
That's what the gunner is for. If solo though, it can happen quite a bit if you aren't paying attention.

>>4431307
Not really. It happens once in awhile, but either I can hear them or predict them trying to do it and can run them over or my friend will take care of them.

>>4431285
Personally I hate when other people are using it, but when I have it, its a life saver. However, I think it should work like the TUG-S. If you're crouched/prone or just staying still, it shouldn't pick you up. If I'm laying down on the 3rd floor of a building and you drive by in your tank, you shouldn't automatically know that I'm there.

>>4431363
Xbro. Nobody wants to be my gunner. They just want to wait for the attack chopper at the spawn.

>>4430837
Proximity Scan, to spot infantry around me.
IR Smoke, cause fuck anything guided.
Guided Shell only when playing with people on voice and who are sitting in my 3rd seat.
or
Coaxial LMG to pick off infantry, Canister is pretty good too but this is just a personal preference of mine. I was raised in the series with Coxial always as my second that I'm just used to it, Canister is new however so I don't have as much experience with it.

>>4431427
Speaking as someone that uses the prox scan a lot, I'll agree. I get way too many easy kills with it because they can't hide. But I also use the thermal optics.

I wish they would undo the mine changes back to the way it was in 1.00, that way people will have to choose between thermal optics to easier spot mines or choose IR smoke to dodge Javs.
It seems that every patch Dice nerfs mines; whether it be having them show up on the minimap, have them show up on screen as an indicator, stay spotted for a full 30 seconds, and have them be limited to 6 mines per map regardless of map size. This is ridiculous, I have no reason to go mines over repair tool. I haven't seen anyone in the community ever complain about these so what is Dice's problem with these?

is anyone in /vg/ a good sniper?

the only weapons i have left to get mastery tags with are snipers and handguns. i cannot use the sks or any bolt action rifles

i use the m14/svd/mk11 like battle rifles

Are there any differences in how the shot spreads on the DAO-12, Saiga, and USAS? I used to use the Saiga as my primary shotgun, and I switched over the USAS-12 when I unlocked it, but it seems harder to get kills with when I fire in semi auto. And does the DAO-12 have any advantages over the other two? It has one extra shot, but is slow as fuck to reload, yet I see people kicking ass with it all the time.

Btw, Ball So Hard is up and running right now. Looks like its about full, but look for an opening if you can.

>>4432123
The SKS is probably the best recon weapon because it's only slightly weaker than the Mk.11, SVD, and M39 at long range, but at close range the damage is practically the same, and it has a magazine twice as large. Put a red dot optic on it and its really good.

Haha one I remember is I was reloading my AN and run straight into a guy in a closed space in one of the buildings in Metro. We both start trying to knife each other for a few seconds until I whip out my G18 and kill him.

>>4436253

>that feel when I actually take something down with a stinger

>>4436391
Just unlocked the .44 and forgot I had it so I haven't used it yet.

I didn't like it at first but paired with the AN it's pretty good, I knew a guy was chasing me so I ran up stairs and waiting for him with the G18 since it can kill a lot faster than the AN at close range.

I joined a /v/ game today and they're a bunch of base raping shitheads.

My team still one despite the other teams fuckery.

Jesus christ guess I have to take that server off my favorites list.

>>4433723
I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

>>4436391
>.44 or go home

Steal a sqaud mates kit. Walk up on a support that is completely unaware. Put...TWO shots into his back (two hit indicators) to kill him with the .44. Why? I should have stabbed him but I normally roll with the 93R.

>>4436639
>Not aiming for the head
also the .44 has the supressive capabilities of a sniper rifle. One shot wizzing past their head, they'll shoot sideways.

>>4436779
By the way it was in hardcore...

>>4433808
You seem... Rustled.

I'm truly sorry. I only use the prox scan because of faggot support. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have it.

>>4436832
What the shit then. CHest shot does something like 40ish damage, and if you're that close, just use the knife.

but 93R is godly.

>>4437192
60 damage out to 12m. You only have 60 health in hardcore. The 93R does 25 per bullet. A successful burst is 75 damage.

Fucking Ball So Hard right now, holy shit lmao

I'm trying to get into jetting, but I just don't get it. I practiced in maneuvering and shit in an empty server for awhile. Now when I try to actually play, I don't understand how to hit anything because it all goes by so fast. And for some reason, my heatseekers don't lock onto any aircraft at all.

>>4430837
>Proximity Scan
To hunt hidden enemies hiding from you and to avoid C4 bumrushes, probably your biggest threat.
>IR Smoke
To fire off as soon as you hear tone, because the amount of people with guided shells and Javelins is ridiculous.
>Coaxial LMG
To shoot dudes.

My thoughts on other popular accessories:
>Reactive Armor
I find the protection to be buggy, as it often softens a rocket blow, but it doesn't nullify it completely. You shouldn't be sitting still to get shot at anyway, and it's useless against C4.
>Thermal Optics
The Prox Scan should be enough to know where the enemy is. If you find yourself dying to mines a lot, then use it, but more likely than not it's Javelins you're going to deal with more often.
>Canister Shell
People swear by it, but you only get one shot before the slow reload kicks in, and enemies will rush you between shots of the Canister Shell and the main cannon.

>>4439259

reactive armor is incredibly OP because it's glitched. just get in and out of the tank, and the armor will replace itself infinitely

also, it often lets you take hits from javelins and mines, and makes a TV missiles a 3-4 hit kill

get in the server you niggers

>>4439793
As opposed to killing nobody with the LMG because it's so piss weak. In my experience, it gives them too much of a chance to escape. The canister is wonderful because it's an instant kill at most any range. I got a 125m double headshot earlier today. If you can keep them in front of you (which admittedly can be problematic at some flags), toggling between it and the main cannon will leave a huge pile of engie and support bodies just because your tank is faster than infantry, and the reload time between the two is pretty small for two things that are guaranteed kills with a well placed shot. The LMG has the suppression advantage, but 5 seconds of sustained fire for a 5 body shot kill is a ridiculous trade off for the canister, which just outright kills.

>>4439259

>>4440080
Which one?

I thought I was going to blow a fucking fuse at how ridiculously annoying the other team was, we won, but dear god if I could strangle them in person I probably would.

Whats the best attachment to use on the G3A3? Im conflicted.

Acog
Bipod
None or Hbar?

FYI If I see anybody using thr M26 dart shit on Ball So Hard, you will be banned. And don't try and act like a hardass sending me messages about "huurrr ur mad bro lol im better than u haha fuck u" and all that. You know what you did. Yu know the glitch. Don't be an idiot.

I mentioned it to my friends around here but why does /vg/ love the bipod for ARs?

I'm lucky to be able to get the damn thing to deploy even when prone.

>>4447885

Also, which Ball so Hard is it? Theres two of them.

>>4447993
Ball So Hard University. OPS Server. Owner is JDubbs1313

>>4447914
On PC you can bind a key to deploy it, which means it never gets in the way.

The reasoning for using it is that there are no downsides for bringing it. If you don't use it, no problem, but it's there should you need it.

Grip was nerfed, so quite often, you don't really need it. Post patch, it's really quite good statistically once deployed. Prepatch it was shit.

>>4447993
University.

>>4447484
FUCK, I think I used it on like 8 people in that server today

It's a reflex, been using it since before patch, really hard to give it up

>>4448062
>On PC you can bind a key to deploy it, which means it never gets in the way.

I didn't know what.

On a minor note....how many shells does the DAO-12 have when you have the extended magazine?

>>4447885

Vertical foregrip

I forget not everyone knows these terms

>>4448080
Well, if you got banned on it, let me know and I'll take you off? I just had to put the hammer down on 3 or 4 spamming it in metro a little bit ago.

Everything out (outside of excessive spawncamping, jet ramming, the usual) is cool. You can sit and spam 320's all day if you want. Just using a known glitch isn't cool.

Symthic just updated his site.

>>4448480
You're probably right. I didn't see any [V] tags anywhere (I don't even use one myself in all honesty), and the last couple of times that I've visited the server, it's been empty.

In saying that, a whole bunch of guys from some platoon were all in there, and they all had the same tag. I don't know, it just seemed too organised on their part to be a bunch of random quick match fellas.

>>4448558
Was also not using it at long range, only up close

Was also fucking everyones shit up in the jet

>that fucking feel when everyone was using Heat seekers instead of cannon to kill me

I'm used to the rush jets, so I'm not that used to having two jets and an attacker chopper spamming heat seekers at me, still killed most of them though

And fuck the guy camping with stinger in caspian border on the American base, could not get near A with getting locked on

Alot of people swear by by the canister shell, same with Lmg. The most inportant thing when you're choosing is your playstyle.

Do you stay near the outskirts of an objective and get to useful angles to take enemies out?
>use the Lmg, its good to have a bit of distance and if you're more stationary its easier to hose down enemies

Do you hurtle full speed through an objective so as to displace your enemies and get an advantage against enemy armor?
>use canister shells, since you are constantly moving its harder to keep sustained fire on an enemy and due to the spread the shell is a bit more forgiving.
>In addition to its lethality, it also runs on Lolphysics and can be shot directly after a tank round, allowing you to easily finish off groups of enemies or get a second chance on the support who just vaulted a wall to get you.


Has anyone noticed alot of pilots have stopped being careful when they're doing flybys on tanks? I've shot down a dozen of these idiots this weekend alone. Has the patch really fucked up ground vs air so badly they think they're invincible?

>On a minor note....how many shells does the DAO-12 have when you have the extended magazine?

Pretty sure it's 12. Haven't used it in a while though, I've mostly been using the Saiga lately.

>>4449206
It is easier to destroy tanks with rocket pods, takes one strafe run

Probably get to overzealous and misjudge distance and don't get kill, letting you kill them

>>4449573
yeah, was just running it and it is twelve, my bad.

>>4449206
>>4449573
I'm starting to work on the Saiga and USAS-12 now. Though the USAS-12 flies wild compared to what it was like in Bad Company 2.

In Bad Company 2 they were UT99 Flak cannons, even from the hip.

I just have a fondness for how the DAO-12 feels.

>>4448480
what the fuck? People use quickmatch?

>>4450149
yes, I used it, and pretty much still use it since it was launched on the 360

>>4449752
I actually really like the DAO-12 as well, probably more than any of the other semiauto shotguns. However, I love how quickly I can reload the Saiga, and so I've been using that one quite a bit.

Eventually I'll try out the USAS and (if I ever unlock it) the Jackhammer, but I wouldn't be surprised if Close Quarters comes out before I decide to use them and I wind up using the SPAS-12 as my main shotgun for a while.

On that note, I am curious if the SPAS will be pump action or semiauto in the game. IIRC the real life model lets you choose between the two, but games seem to always portray it as pump action only.

>>4450149
I only use it to play TDM or other modes, since I don't want to mess with my filter settings for the server browser.

>>4446903
Flash suppressor
The G3 is already accurate as fuck without the heavy barrel

>>4450595
The down time to reload is a pain. I'll just keep working on the Saiga but if I need to lay down the law it will be with the DAO-12.

Anyone interested in some chopper play on 360? Add me: ll exhale ll

Been running G3+Flash Suppressor+Bipod+ACOG a lot lately. Must have gotten 300 kills in a few days with it, easy.

>>4451973
I wish there were more maps that actually made the acog a viable option for assault rifles

I really dont see the point to put anything more than a HOLO scope on them
maybe a 3.4x scope on the burst fire ones though

>>4452150
Oddly enough, I've been using it on Metro the most. Lots of mid-ranged corridors where nobody will expect me to be set up with a bipod watching a door. The area between the second stairwell and the right side doors (facing towards RU spawn from B) seems to work amazingly well for me.

Then again, I'm sort of an ACOG whore. Used it on all my ARs in BC2, regardless of whether I was planning on CQB or long-range engagements. For BF3 I use it on my ARs, PKP, and DMRs, with EOTechs on everything else save the L85A2, which I use a M145 on.

Anyone actually playing on the PS3 server?

>>4454337
But...but...my K/D...

>>4453457
>he doesn't tactical teamswitch

all platoons are full, wat do?

>>4454484
that's unfortunate my friend..


also, I just checked my k/d for the first time, fuck you for making me look.

>>4454708
Oh no, a 2+ K/D...you poor thing

Hey guys, i have a question:

I want to get battlefield 3, but i've been putting it off because im conflicted on getting it for PC or PS3.

I've yet to buy a decent PC, so i'm wondering if the game holds up on consoles or if i should wait until i have a PC to play it. Cheers guys

>>4455402
I'd rather have the 2+ W/L

also we need to have a pistols and knives night, I thirst for tags.

>>4455475

battlefield is only good on consoles. It sucks ass on PC for soo many reasons

>>4455741
>Not being a part of the master race

Anyone else stop using the supressor because it's fucking fun to hear yourself shoot?

>>4455741

>>4455827
the game is really fucking unbalanced on PC. After playing PC for a while I quit and started playing it on ps3 and it's definitely a better game balance wise.
>jets aren't the end all-be all top of the food chain assholes
>no getting instantly killed by assault with m16's or AEKs while sprinting from cover to cover.
>suppression and recoil actually effect the gameplay
>heli's don't get constantly shot down by tanks.
>snipers are minimal because of how hard it is with a controller.
>tanks don't instantly turn their turrets 90 degrees and kill you when you pop your head out.

>>4456645
None of those sound like balance issues and more about you being unable to stand toe to toe with PC players.

>>4455475
As someone who has played both in the past week - get PC. It's an entirely different game. I can't believe the difference. Metro is unplayable on PC though. OH LOOK, WE'VE ONLY GOT ONE FLAG BUT THEY'RE GOT TWO - BETTER CREATE A 64 PLAYER BOTTLENECK WHERE NOBODY PUSHES.

>>4456727
not really. the mouse has such a high skill cap that when you get towards the cap you break the balance . Recoil is nothing for PC so they increased spread on suppression and recoil just for them. I think it should stay the way it is on PC and reduce duration but set it to pre-patch on console.

>>4456890
He's in the corner as you back into the room. You pass him because you panicked and turned too quickly.

>>4456926
Yeah I realized as I watched it again here which I somehow missed, watching the preview in my editor thing makes it all weird and skippy so I don't see it until it's finished and my software uploads it directly to youtube.

>>4456645

>its harder with the controller so the game is easier, and im a faggot

>>4454575

mah nigga

also havent played since 1 month ago

anyone care enough to give me weps analysis or any youtube links? my subscriptions doesnt offer any weapon reviews

what happend to my As-Val? or Ak74M?

>>4459657
Val is dead, AK is nearly as good as the M16 now.

>>4459657
AS-VAL is just as good as ever, you can unlock extended mag for it increasing the ammunition to 30.

>>4459657
All the fast-firing guns have retarded amounts of spread and recoil now, so the AK is actually a good choice for accurate medium-range shooting instead of a Russian dildo that gets your face raped off against the FAMAS.

Do you guys recommend Back to Karkand? I never did play BF2 much. I played 1942 but didn't really have a very capable PC until 2142 was out.

>>4463883
It has the best BF3 maps so yes.

>>4464323
Neato. I'll do that then. I don't suppose anyone has a -25% code? It's actually cheaper on Origin than it is on the key site where I bought BF3, oddly.

>>4464356
Get it on Amazon dont give EA money directly make it go through a third party

So, is there any info on what conq domination is exactly?

No base spawn point? Would be cool if it was the end caps were MCOMs so both teams were trying to push forward for a bomb plant, but seems to not be the case as teams were holding A and C in the video.

>fhat teel when you'll never have fun with MAV again

Oh well...

>>4465358
Looks horrible, gonna skip this one.

>>4466330
Yeah if it weren't for DICE's net code it would look fine to me.

Might do it just for the weapons.

>>4465358
Looks like something made by Michael bay

Bad Company 2 is better.

>>4432961
I prefer the DAO since it got more bullets and it's quicker to reload if you don't use all the bullets

what weapon should i use for engineer and assault?
also what attachments! i just started playing again

New Close Quarters map
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD8HF-AL2yY

>>4465358
What is this and why does it always fuck up my youtube videos when I try to buffer and then go into fullscreen

I want the AUG but I'm not giving DICE and EA another cent for this pile.

Almost certainly still be worse than the M16A3 anyway.

>MFW m26 climbed to my number one weapon and will sit there for a long time

Best setup for midrange SKS? I keep forgetting what goes in each attachment slot.

What is the recon holding in his left hand? Is it a camera or a device to control his gadgets?

>>4469836
He's taking a picture because he's a useless faggot that doesn't do anything important

>>4455741
It's great on consoles.

>>4456645
>tanks don't instantly turn their turrets 90 degrees and kill you when you pop your head out.

This was an issue I thought was completely retarded on the computer.

In BC2 it was fair since everyone had the same sensitivity for moving the turret, in BF3 all you have to do is crank up that sensitivity and you're doing 360 noscopes with a fucking tank. Unfair as fuck.

>>4469967
You could do that in BC2 too
I used the DPI settings on my mouse to do it

>>4470057
I'm just saying it's not as easy to do it in BC2 as it is BF3.

I just find it unfair as the speed of the tank's turret should be fixed,

Clientside hit detection that ruins the game general?

Clientside hit detection that ruins the game general.

>>4470163
Just one of many, many things that ruin the game.

>>4470163

Actually it's a hybrid of client and server hit detection system, A horrible one at that.

>>4470273
Whatever it is, it's god awful. I can't play the game anymore.

>>4470273

Posted the wrong image but the first one is pretty good description of BF3 hit detection as well.

>>4470409

I rented a server for seven days on the 360, but nobody's joining it. It's been around twenty minutes or so. I live on the East Coast, so it's only 11:25 here. Maybe it's just that everybody's at school or work.

If anybody's interested in playing on it, I'll post the information.

>>4471237
lol half the rented servers are always empty. get used to it.

Story of most infuriating match I have played in BF3
>Playing Sharqi Pennisula Rush omn the attacking side
>First minutes in our tank drives middle of russian engineers and gets disabled, the driver jumps out and gets killed
>Defenders repair the tank and the their driver actually knows what the hell he is doing and basically rapes our team
>Our side finally manages to take out the tank and we manage to take out 1 of the MCOMs but then we run out tickets.
>We lost the match due to one dudes dumbfuckery

>>4455958

This a thousand times over. BF1942 was godly! BF3 is pretty but it plays like shit and isn't fun because FUCKING MURRICANS!!! Why the shit would I want to fight in a virtual version of an unjustified war?

>>4465358

Dice are good at making trailers but when it comes to the actual games...

>Implying hit detection won't have you raging
>Implying animations look even half as good ingame because of lag
>Implying you won't be suppressed 90% of the time when playing on this map

The only saving grace this DLC might have will be the new weapons.

>Implying they will have a unique feel to them and not end up as M16A3 reskins
>Implying they won't be nerfed to shit within 10min because of babbis crying

Yeah, no thanks. I'll keep my money.

>>4472451
>unjustified war
you are fighting RUSSIANS in IRAN

Is there a 4th /v/ platoon? If not, I can start one up. I don't even know if I should.

>>4472353
Goddammit i hate when teammates do that shit. If you don't have any nearby support then you should just fucking die with your vehicle instead of getting out like a pussy and letting them kill you and steal the vehicle.
It's bad enough I see enemies constantly trying to airdrop into our base to steal aircraft, but when you deliver them a goddamn tank... how can anyone be THAT fucking retarded?

>>4474309
The most effective way to take down a tank isn't RPG fire, not another tank, not even an helicopter. Just run straight at the tank and the driver will freak out because he's a pussy who is scared of dying and he'll jump out. No matter what kit you have, Recon, Assault or even Support clearly carrying a mortar on your back, the driver will be completely convinced you have C4. Everybody in this game is a little bitch and they're scared of being killed so they'll do whatever they can to survive and keep their precious K/D. They'll even hand over a tank to the enemy.

>>4475170
I typically die with my tank, but yeah, you're right, most people will just get out and run away or try to kill you, and the moment they do, you can grab their tank and run off.

>>4475370
I'd rather die in my tank once than be killed by it five times. I can't tell you how many tanks I've hijacked because the driver bails. I normally keep mine until it hits maybe 5% health or so. At least then I know its on fire, close to being destroyed.

>>4429120
I haven't played since the patch...

and suggestions for loadouts?..

>>4475625

Is it just me or do you think the tac light and laser should be in the second tier for ARs and carbines

>>4475625

>assault

-G3A3 red dot, grip, heavy barrel/flash suppressor: great for defending good for attacking. High power but more difficult to sustain fire

-M16A3 red dot/holo, grip, silencer: great for attacking good but outperformed by support and G3A3 defending. Easily the most balanced gun in game.

Always have 93R or .44

>support

-M60 acog, bipod, extended mags: great mid-long range capabilities, hip fire close range and hip fire at medium range when bipod is down. Enjoy being broken.

-pp19 red dot laser sight: gotta go fast class, hip fire with this is laser accurate great for mid range encounters, but lacking in both close and long range

C4 if attacking or fighting tanks, claymores if defending.

Any side arm will do

Both other classes are for most purposes useless outside of conquest

Weapons are preference based.

so did 1943 for PC get completely scrapped?

I would buy it

New gay quarters map
Straight from the official EA™ DICE™ website
http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3/1/close-quarters
Name is Donya Fortress™
Features HD destruction™
™™

On a non marketer note, at least DICE are trying to make their trailers look cool. The one where he zooms in with a spas and then zooms out through a sniper scope was cool

>>4477969
its a decent game
not great
only has 3 maps

and yet theyre all much better than BF3's maps

>>4478923
There are 4 maps Coral Sea, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Wake Island

or at least thats what it says on the 1943 website

hell sell it as a expansion of BF3 on PC

>that feel when you encounter a youtube pubstar and realize they're not better than you

They should have released the Armored kill one first though there are already enough close quarters maps (every single TDM map)

If you had messaged me, I would have dealt with it.

>>4481946
That's pretty damn neato.

Hopefully whoever was responsible for outsourcing battlelog is mad as fuck when seeing how a random dude can improve it above and beyond the call.

>>4483313
I dont really know if battlelog was outsourced however I do know that the in game UI was

I really do like battlelog it has the best server browser out of all of the battlefields and where its browser based people can customize it with extensions and userscripts
I dont understand all of the hate about it

>>4479121
coral sea is only for air superiority mode
it has virtually no land
all you do is fly planes

it doesnt count much as a map

>>4483654
While it is true that having the entire server browser, player profile and stats concentrated on a website makes it easy to change and add features, that is not what people complain about with Battlelog.

You cannot change game settings without joining a server or launching the single player.
You cannot change soldier loadouts unless you have joined a server.
You cannot make map-specific soldier loadouts.
You cannot use VOIP with random players ingame on PC. You have to do that through battlelog and it only works with people you are friends with on battlelog.
Chances are you are already using a better VOIP solution to communicate with them.
It is slow and takes rather long to load sub-pages.

Lastly, it feels cheap.
The singleplayer ingame menu is atmospheric as fuck and shows what Dice is capable of when they bother to try.

Ok, since theres only three people in the IRC Im going to assume people don't know how to join

1. Get an Irc program
>I have chatzilla, plugin for firefox. Find one that you like and get it.

2. Type in "/attach Irc.rizon.net"
3. After you connect type "/join #/vg/bf3"

This assumes that the commands are universal, I don't fucking know I can barely into computers anyway.

GEE BILL, TWO BIPODS?

New weapons-

SPAS-12
JNG-90
MTAR-21
AUG A3
ACW-R

That's all I saw. According to a post on another chan, there's also the LSAT LMG and H&K417.

>still no G36 to complete the G36 trifecta

>remove recon
>replace with Special Forces
>SF gets C4 + Soflam + spawn beacon
>use PDWs and Special Purpose rifles
>remove all bolt action rifles
>soflam can now be used without placing it

Suddenly the game becomes good because half the team isn't camping

>>4486141
Technically the "MG36" is just a G36 with a Beta-C magazine.

JNG90 is the only new one to be revealed from this video.

SPAS-12
ACW-R
L86
MTAR-21
AUG
LSAT
SCAR-L

>>4486340
I'm ok with this as long as SVD and M39 EMR get moved to all class weapons, maybe the SKS too.

>>4486706
No, the last thing I want is a medic camping a health pack with a sniper rifle, fuck that.

Also what the fuck is with recon not giving a single fuck about suppression?

I was chewing away at one earlier with a 249+suppression and he manages to get a headshot from ~100m while standing.

This game makes me fucking rage. Anything beyond a 4x scope and suppression should be fucking tripled.

I've noticed that most games only have 2 good pilots and they always immediately join the same team so they don't have to fight each other and just rape the other team. I usually quit those matches because it takes too much effort to take them down. I'm not the only one that leaves. 2 good jet pilots on 1 team are like a cancer to the game. Slowly getting everyone to leave until they are forced to join another match or fight each other.

>>4475170
>nope

I used to be that noob. Now i just back up, keep my cool, and fire a canister at their head.

>>4487420
Because dogfights are currently stupid and bad points/min.

It takes like 20 rounds to disable a plane which is hard to pull off when facing another opponent of similar skill. It happens, but it is a SLOW process.

Lots more points just to gang up on shit pilots and then rape everything else on the ground.

Stinger needs to be better, it is worthless right now. ECM needs to go, especially on choppers, as it makes laser designating WORTHLESS.

I love how LMG's are lasers when deployed.

Slap a 3,5x sight on one and you can outsnipe snipers at almost any range.

>>4475170
>forgot I left claymore on instead of c4
>shit enemy tank trying to cap point
>run at him full retard with claymore
>he jumps out
>jump in and run him over

I love it

>>4487685
That's because LMGs are anti-sniper weapons. Snipers get fucked IRL by anything with sustained automatic fire like an LMG.

I give zero fucks, recon players are worthless cunts and deserve to get shit on.

>>4487420

That's the only thing that ruins my good time.
Jets shouldn't have the free time to strafe individual solders.
If I were good enough, I'd get in a jet and do something about it.
However, pic related.

>>4487620
I'd be fine if they kept the ECM, but this below radar shit needs to go. Pilot deploys ECM, gunner pops flares and dives...stay down for 5 seconds, rinse and repeat. Fuck below radar.

>>4487689
why do these fuckwits always hop out of their tanks?

>>4487979

It needs to only work against air to air missiles.

Stopping stingers and IGLA's is bullshit of massive proportions.

>>4479121
the map you want is Midway from BF1942 complete with movable ships so we can troll

>>4487979
yeah, gunner shouldn't get that flare/etc slot.

A good chopper pilot never gets shot down except by maybe a lucky dumb rocket or another good chopper pilot.

>remove ECM
>remove below radar
>increase flare cooldown by 1/3
>put stingers back to pre-patch range and post-patch damage

suddenly air is fixed

>>4487620

What will I defend against javs? This game sucks ass because all you faggots do is whine about this or that then DICE decides to take your advice and fucks up a game that was kinda good.

>>4488192

I always tried to use the submarine but it was taken every round.

>>4487790
I like your opinion, good sir.

>>4488292
i just grabbed a battleship and rammed everything, i dont know why trolling was so fun in that game

>>4486852
Having COVR might explain a bit

But hot fucking damn. I can't get a shot in for SHIT as a recon if I'm suppressed by so much as a goddamn fruit fly

>>4488258

To add to that, a good team can fuck over a chopper and make him unable to really do shit other than run and hide over and over. Sure he'll get the passing kills but there won't be "Oh fuck well he's just circling me and taking his time to ruin my fucking life"

>>4488047

>cap point
>proceed on foot

>>4488258
Flares distract laser-guided missiles, you fuckhead.

>>4488328
Yeah pre-patch I even had a german server that banned sniper rifles. Made the game fun because I could rely on my team to do shit like heal/supply and recon players still used soflam/etc but had PDWs and actually contributed instead of camping and waiting to shoot someone WHILE WE WERE ATTACKING.

It actually made Rush fun.

>>4488258
Against a laser lock on and a JAV? Nothing because fuck you and your plane/chopper for sticking around enough to get lased. Deploy flares and run like a plane/chopper would actually have to.

MANPADS fuck helicopters sideways in real life, in BF3 they are so worthless no one even takes them.

>>4488446

Never fucking works for me. Oh wait, that's because DICE broke everything post patch.

>hit flares
>all missiles continue to smoke me

>>4488446
Which is fucking retarded since its a laser-guided missile. Not heat-seeking. Fuck you, chopper-jocks

>>4488436

While oh so satisfying when it works, this tactic is
wasteful and will get you killed more often than not.

dem points nigga

>>4488774
I don't want completely realistic, but this is the other end of the spectrum right now. Choppers are next to impossible to hit with a stinger and even if you do, they will just slink off and repair before you can get another shot in with your 100m range lockon.

This is bullshit and needs to end.

Quick question /vg/ I haven't been able to find an answer online... when i'm playing (on PC) my guy will randomly stop sprinting, or change stances without me pushing the buttons to do so. Anyone else have this problem?

>>4491061
Is the SCAR-L for engies? *fingers crossed*

Alright, reposting greentext gold from battle-bros.

>>4491171

I dunno what's wrong but when I stop moving its usually because I've hit too many keys at once and reached the limits of my keyboard. As for the stance changing, double tapping forward activates sprint and that could have something to do with it. Probably not though.

>>4491225
I think it is. I'd imagine the ACW-R and AUG A3 are Assault Kit weapons. So I'm guessing the SCAR-L would be going to the Engineer. Looks like I'll have to put some time in with that now.

I started up Origin + Battlelog today for the first time in a month or so expecting to see a patch start downloading. I saw no such thing. Am I right to assume they have not yet fixed the recent patch the broke everything? Mortars are next to impossible to deploy, jets are invincible to AA missiles, shotguns got nerfed, etc etc bullshit.

Man everyone on the ps3 must have just discovered the HB + M26 shit because EVERYBODY is using it. Annoying as shit to die at any range in one hit, but at least not as bad as the blur from the USAS-12 fag rounds.

>Quick question /vg/ I haven't been able to find an answer online... when i'm playing (on PC) my guy will randomly stop sprinting, or change stances without me pushing the buttons to do so. Anyone else have this problem?

The sprinting thing happens to me too on PC. I have 20-key rollover so I have no idea what is causing it.

>>4492489
Oh nice find! Was looking at that in the video but I don't think the quality was good enough for me to see what it was.

Also, is it me or does it look like that Recon guy is using an HK417? The rail system looks very similar...

>>4492489
Wait, what gun is the recon in the foreground holding?

Is that the H&K 417?

>>4492498

I'm trying to pick the game back up but this is a deal breaker. I didn't have this problem at release... took a month break and came back and it was doing it. It's really hard on me during a fire fight as my guy will randomly stand up in cover or when I'm prone waiting to ambush people he will just stand up. I'm concentrating more on making sure my dude is doing what the fuck I want him to do instead of completing objectives/contributing to my team.

>>4492489
With a laser, no less. What do you bet it'll end up being another DICE-exclusive unlock?

Anyway, Xbros - I've just set up a server for the next week. It's primarily for another site I'm active on but you're welcome to use it if you want. Server name is Area B7R - 200% Mixed Rotation CQ/Rush. Server rules are standard BF3, though I may run it as a Pistol/Knife only once in a while.

If you have any questions, complaints or suggestions, shoot me a message on XBL.

Yes, I'm aware of the irony in having only two jet maps on an ACZ-themed server. I just hate how most jet maps become fucking "musical flags" because one team inevitably refuses to cap points.

>>4492909

Well, there you go, ladies and gents. HK417 confirmed.

My next and last suggestion is check your key bindings
and make sure you don't have any double-bound keys.

If that doesn't help, I feel bad for you son.

>>4492498
I get this too on the pee ess trippel. Except along with that sometimes R2 will switch my weapons and L2 will pull out a grenade but not throw it until I hit R1 or R2.

>>4494490
I hate the guided shell. It basically incentivizes people to not aim. This guy is a good shot, but that shell does too much damage to require no aiming.

>>4494965
>making an expansion of an expansion

>>4495160
takes longer to lock on than to fire a regular shell plus you have to stay out in the open unless you have someone laser designating it with a soflam. Which means that it's actually taking 2 people to aim it.

>>4495267
It's not like it's hard to catch a something with its pants down though, and it does twice as much a normal shell. One guided, quick switch to the AP, and you win because you got a lock. When you get locked, finding where it's coming from with your tank can be difficult because of the turret turning speed vs the speed of lock, so really it's a you see, you win weapon.

Check out the kill feed. M417 confirmed.

>>4495267

You realize you fire your regular shot, then lock and fire the guided shell while your regular is reloading, then fire off your regular again straight after the guided. You get three shots when your canister opponent gets two. Of course waiting for the guided to then reload is a bad idea, so your fourth shot should be regular HEAT, with your fifth being guided.

Regardless, only retarded players don't run IR smoke, which like against javelins, make the guided shell completely useless. Fun way to take care of those pesky jeeps way out in the desert on firestorm however.

Guided shell was amazing, even with low numbers of laser designators, however its getting less use by myself now for a few reasons..

1. Flares distracting guided stuff means less soflams/citv users, and its pretty much never going to take out helis anymore.
2. People are finally realizing how good smoke is. Although eventually everyone will realize how crap javs and guideds are due to everyone having smoke and the cycle will go around most likely.
3. Reduced vehicle armor and not having an anti infantry secondary means you cant really approach any occupied territory.

I used to run reactive/smoke/guided on the vehicle heavy maps, and prox/smoke/canister on the more infantry based maps, but canister is getting much more use now, and prox is just too sweet, even if it means giving up the extra armor.

>>4495716
>because one guy is using a guided weapon like the jab or guided shell, everybody has to have smoke

K. Thanks, Dice. Good idea. Now armored kill gets to be the gigantic circle jerk that air combat is now!

>>4495716
>run Reactive/Zoom/Canister
>have situational awareness
>still go on 30+ kill rampages in tanks because I can typically find the guy with a Javelin while he locks on/flank enemy tanks/watch for Support players/outshoot enemy players at range/kill enemy helos who think they can fly low since they're not being locked

Meh, to each his own. Considering switching over to smoke though just because getting in a tank these days seems to be like setting off a car alarm as far as beeping goes. It's just annoying.

Even if they make 2143, it will probably be shit. This thought makes me sad.

So is every Expansion pack getting new weapons? I would like to see the AT-4 from BC2 back even though it wasn't realistic.

>>4497010
Yes, or so it seems.

Otherwise, DICE can't say "we never charged for maps." Right now they're getting off on a technicality by adding new guns/assignments/game modes, sort of like they did with Euro Force/Armored Fury.

Thoughts? I personally agree with him 100 percent.

>>4486852
You'll love all the recon fags who bitch about being suppressed on the battle log forums.

"I CAN'T HIT SUPPORTS WITH THIS BULLSHIT SUPPRESSION FUCK THIS GAY EARTH."

Recon is a babby training wheel class... and now sniping just got a tiny bit harder from suppression and instantly they soil their goddamn pants...

>>4496156
Its not a case of because one person has it. Hell pre-patch half the team would generally be hauling the javs around.
The fact that smoke completely neutralizes it is what makes it so good. It doesnt give some protection. It doesnt reduce some incoming damage. Proper use makes you completely immune to guided weapons.

>>4496582
Zooms pretty unnecessary when you just learn to adjust with the regular sight. Unless you like to stroll out into the desert and not play the objective.. Also enjoy when 3 engis in different locations start locking you.. and when aircraft take guided missile.. and all the tanks with guided shell..

>>4497010

>>4497956
>The class I do worst with
Really? Each time I play it my mind just boggles from how easy they have it. Sway is a non-issue, 1-2 shot kills on any distance, you can pretty much engage from anywhere... not so with other classes.

>>4497506
Agreed wholeheartedly. The way I look at it, the best way to balance it would be to make Flares distract missiles but not break locks (i.e., if you have a second guy on the ground you'll hit him), while ECM just breaks locks but doesn't distract missiles (meaning once a missile is in flight you better evade like crazy). It's really the only way to make it work, especially since right now it's pretty much impossible to do anything in a helo without ECM without getting slapped down by someone running Laser Painter/Guided Missile/ECM or a team that runs Javelins and laser painters of any sort.

>>4497920
I use Zoom more for defense at range, as well as precision shots on small targets (I regularly kill IFVs who drove behind a bus thinking I couldn't arc the shot through the windows). Plus, I play on 360, so the visual quality unzoomed can be pretty terrible and cause me to miss more often than I would playing PC on Ultra.

Still, I'm thinking certain maps will just require IR Smoke instead like Noshahr Canals. I'm still experimenting even though I've gotten well in excess of 4000 kills in MBTs. The best players are those who can adapt, after all.

>>4494965
>adding more weapons that will never get properly balanced

This is what pisses me off the most. I was happy to get the P90 that I wanted in Bad Company 2. I miss the AUG but I could live without it since we have every other gun on Earth.

I still think Bad Company 2 had just enough guns. Some were even just clones!

>demize in charge of bala-
OH WAIT. He's not in charge any more... JUST WHEN HE FINALLY HAD THE RIGHT IDEA ABOUT BALANCING, HE GETS REPLACED.

I'm not totally happy with the patch, but overall he had the right idea, balance attachments and shit on a per weapon basis and try to make everything viable.

>>4498393

I just want my MG3 back. The sound of 7.62x51 being fired at 1000 RPM was just orgasmic...

>>4497506
He's right, but BF3 was specifically designed to be basically a party game like CoD. That's why suppression is the way it is now.

>>4498616
>JUST WHEN HE FINALLY HAD THE RIGHT IDEA ABOUT BALANCING

What? This most recent patch was just as fucking awful for balance as everything else he has done.

It'd be really cool if Dice released 1942 as freeware. We could have a maximum baller /vg/ server and everything. Too bad that'll never happen.

>>4499394
Considering that other patches/balance tweaks has been him picking his nose and nerfing whatever the forums were bitching about at the time into obscurity, then yeah, this patch has been pretty good.

It's not the end all best thing ever, but it's a step in the right direction.

Its bad enough on consoles when this happens, but I can't imagine what its like with that many people.

I just cant get into this game

>play 1942 when it came out
>played BF2/2142 alot, ALOT
>bad company 2 was pretty cool, blowing shit up

>>4499875
It's one of the worst Battlefield games of all time. But I still play it since it's Battlefield and it's more difficult to find servers for the older games. I've been playing 2142 again recently, but I've only been able to hop onto one active server.

>>4499875
It's not surprising. BF3 is the worst Battlefield game by far and the fucking terrible unlock system puts you at a huge disadvantage relative to everyone else if you didn't start playing early.

>>4499956
The visuals are what kills me, if there wasn't suppression, flash lights and the sun, I would enjoy it so much more

>>4500098
>Ok I have to keep my eye on that door way
