>flash supressor on a supressor

What purpose does the flash supressor have on a supressor

I'm talking IRL, not in game, which is what this images purpose is I guess

Just changed the settings on Area B7R (360) some. Currently running a mix of Conquest/CQA/Rush on Oman and Karkand. You know, the good maps from B2K.

>>4769904
who gives a shit its going to end in disaster just like the last one

I don't own the game. I won't be part of the platoon. I apologize on my behalf.

>>4769945
To maximize the muzzle flash suppression (which can get you spotted and killed very easily IRL) in conjunction with sound suppression. Silencerco actually introduced a new flash suppressor that will allow you to suppress your muzzle flash while you suppress your shot reports while you suppress the enemy. Dawg.

http://www.ammoland.com/2012/01/20/silencerco-5-56-saker-suppressor/#axzz1ta5IIeGo

>>4770105

But most suppressors/silencers also works as a flash suppressor anyway.

>>4767750
That image is overused.
>That
Unless you were making a joke, entailing that a person of African descent can't spell, "that".

>>4770105
Don't supressors supress sound and muzzle flash?

>>4770483
They do, if memory serves correctly, though the fact that SilencerCo thought this was important enough to improve on suggests that it's not as good as you'd get from dedicated flash suppressors.

Then again, I have zero experience with Class III items, so take that with a grain of salt.

Yo guys, what's the deal. I'm getting a bunch of frameskips, does CPU mean that much to this game?

>>4771773
That should run it fine, BF3 does seem to rest a little more on the CPU than others so that might be limiting you, but it should at least play on Medium.

>>4771773
I don't know, this is weird.

Before today I got silky smooth everything with an i5 2400 and 6850. Now for some reason whenever I bring up the commarose it freezes for a second and freezes when I select something.

Fucking weird.

How to fix BF3

And it is suddenly 100x better

Also what the fuck is up with LMGs being so shit at close range? Hit a nigger several times in the chest with the fucking 240 and he 2 hits me with the M16a3 and still has 66% health remaining?

Pure horse shit

cheapest place to buy this for PC?

I'd rather have a physical copy of the PC version but I'll take a digital version.

>>4775771
>remove recon class from the game
Or how about making the recon somewhat useful like in BC2.

>>4775589
you would think less people would snipe on console since it's so bad.

>>4775846
cdkeyshere literally will give you a scan of the box's serial number that works with Origin instantly, they also have instructions for making it english (comes as Russian). Works with all DLC too.

sources: works for myself, and got it working for my friend just a moment ago.

>>4775872
wont stop 98% of recon players from just sitting back contributing fuck all to the team.

I'd rather see special forces make a comeback in place of recon

>>4776002
oh sweet, its only $20 too. Thanks.

>>4776132
Yeah, just follow the instructions they have and it'll work fine.

Any tips to get better with helicopters and jets?

Specifically, what server I should practice on and if I should tweak controls and sensitivity.

I appreciate any advice. As of this moment it's a choice of playing clusterfuck Team DM, playing Conquest and getting raped by air, or playing Rush only to have an attacking team of 80% snipers. I want to get good at flying so I can fight back on Conquest.

>>4776408
PC or console?

If console, switch your stick settings to Southpaw. 100% better. BF3 for some ungodly reason uses a stick setup that is completely backwards compared to pretty much every flight game on the market.

>>4775771

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/Quadruplestack/stats/289913527/xbox/

how about we settle for removing scopes higher than 4x and leave them in the game

fuck Valdez and I miss tracer darts.

>>4776506
you online right now?

>>4776567
Remove bolt actions entirely. Remove all optics with a zoom greater than 4x. Give C4 back to Recon.

Hey look, I fixed BF3's classes.

Hey man, it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n roll.

Get good with tanks. I went 55-7 on Seine and ravaged many anuses last night with a T-90...and we didn't even win.

>>4777515
Hi boomtackle, you having fun tonight?

Is a 0.8 KD ratio bad? >implying I give a fuck

>>4777831

Tanks are pretty much my only option. I was terrible at BF3 when I started playing, though I average around 2X-1X each match now. Im just amazing at dying

>>4777847

No fucking clue who that is

>>4778075
Here's how to answer that question:

Is your SPM over 400? Then it's not that bad. You're at least playing. Is it under 400? Then you're terrible and need to PTFO more often.

I'd say a "good" player by my standards would have about a 1.5-ish K/DR and 500 or better SPM. REALLY good players are 2.0+ K/DR and over 550 SPM.

Keep in mind that trying to raise one stat will usually make the other drop. I'm currently sitting at 3.06K/D, 558 SPM, but I have quite a few friends who have half my K/D but well over 600 SPM, and quite frankly I'd rather have them playing with me than some Recon fuck who has a 5+ K/DR since he never leaves deployment.

Any xbros wanna add me? I'm a very casual player. No mic, primarily just hop in the tank. Not competitive or anything, I just like shooting jeeps, but I am pretty good at it nonetheless. I usually win tank fights and can hit choppers every chance I get. My KDR is shit because I spent a good part of the time playing trying to use guns, but then I decided I hated that. OnLINEvirus666 (I was 13, give me a break). I'd love a gunner and/or driver for tanks. Gunner for choppers. Level 33.

>>4778234
To further elaborate - I'm a bit of a conservative player. I PTFO, but I usually wait to have at least one or two guys backing me up before charging at an objective/MCOM, and I'm very paranoid about getting flanked or throwing myself into the fire for absolutely no overall benefit to the team (see: arming MCOMs with nobody around to help you defend it).

My teammates on the other hand are a bit more reckless and will gladly throw themselves at the objective or the enemy either out of a hope that our team will pull their heads out of their asses long enough to help them or because they know I'm right behind them making sure all our "i"s are dotted and our "t"s are crossed.

All I'm saying is that you basically have to figure out what kind of player you are, and then set standards for yourself accordingly.

Unless you just snipe all day. In which case fuck you.

>>4778234
My actual objective score is low because I primarily play TDM.

>>4778564

>>4778634

>>4778518
What is SPM?

>>4778564
I'd say that's not bad at all, seeing as how you play TDM, which is a total clusterfuck on par with 64-player Metro Conquest every game.

>>4778741
Score per minute. It's a general indicator of how much you're actually doing in the game - getting kills, capping flags, arming MCOMs, repairing vehicles, resupplying/healing teammates, etc. Frankly, I think it's a better indicator of skill than the actual "Skill" stat by a long shot.

>>4778075
That's what I have. 250 SPM. Do I suck?

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/Aarrcc/stats/215013809/xbox/

Looking to get better with the heli, need a gunner that can communicate.

Does anyone else love defending on op metro as much as I do? anything past the first part is great for LMG bros like me

Anyone on Xbox feel like partying up? Tired of getting kicked from party chat because of hurt feelings.

does almost nobody use their mic on No Fun Allowed? or can I not even talk to people during the time between matches

>>4779252

Before the patch fucked up shotguns, I was an 870mcs recon and a MAVbro. When the rest of my friends quit playing BF3, CQ and Rush became an exercise in futility, so I primarily played TDM.

>>4779569
Oh god, I loved the 870 pre-patch, bumped my accuracy up by a lot too, but since then I haven't used any.

>the game has turned into COD
>or even worse

i recently came back to BF3. and found myself playing CoD. almost all the servers are empty. the ones that aren't empty,have a ridiculous amount of spawns or the map is small.then you have the servers with bullshit rules( NO RPG on jets/Heli,No Knifing,NO "X" weapon,No killing "Y" player) and douche bag mods.

>8.99 to unlock some weapon
>or forget leveling up !!! unlock all weapons for 39.99 !!!

not even Activision does this.

EA/Dice should just shut down the game.Dice has moved on to another game.the new CoD style DLC maps is the final nail in the coffin.

>>4779505
I'd play, but I got German class at 7 am, and it's 10:30pm now

Plus I have to think of a witty response to that bitch that rejected me, can't do that while playing

And why are you getting kicked from the party chat

>>4779569
I hate what they did to the 870 post-patch. It was fucking FINE.

Now the Saiga is a rape machine for no good reason. I dumped half my G3 mag into a guy's face earlier only for him to one-shot me with the Saiga and run off with 2% health.

Seriously, why did DICE have to fuck with the 870 and the unglitched M26? They're already used less often than the autoshotties just because they have a much lower ROF, why nerf them more? I don't even remember hearing anyone complain about the 870 pre-patch.

>that feel when the PS3 server is empty almost every time I want to play

>>4779819

I used to think it was because of the new suppression mechanics that made the 870's spread turn into something horrid, but even unsuppressed a 1 shot kill has turned into 3 or more.

Norshir used to be my favorite map for close quarters, now I loathe it.

>>4779718
Dunno, I just get kicked after ten or so minutes, I guess The party host didn't like listening to me. Oh well, I don't plan on playing with people If I cant talk to them.

>>4780018
My understanding is that while the 870 was perfectly fine and left unchanged by the update, its ammo got nerfed into oblivion along with all the other shotguns.

The problem is, by making the 870 do equal damage as the autoshotties, you give people ZERO reason to use the 870, especially considering its low ROF, low capacity, and slow reload. Give it back the full 12 pellets per shot like it had prior and bam, it's competitive again, but right now DICE did the exact opposite of what they did to ARs/carbines/LMGs to shotguns - they're now pretty much all the same, with ROF and reload speed making some clearly better than others. As a result, everyone runs the USAS-12, MK3A1, or Saiga 12K instead of any other shotgun. The SPAS-12 will likely be worthless too for the same reasons, assuming they don't un-nerf the pump shotties for Close Quarters.

Two steps forward, one step back...

>>4779819
M26 was always glitched but no one knew cause everyone was humping their foregrips to much to use underslung rail pre-patch.

>>4779985
It's close to full most of the times I check it, but I pretty much never see anyone from /v/ in there, so I don't bother joining.

And strangely enough, everytime I've squadded up with some guys from the /v/ platoon, we never play on the NFA server. Don't know what's up with that.

>ECM Jammer doesn't shake off jet rockets. Ever.

>Below Radar doesn't work. Ever.

What's the point of either of these if they don't do their fucking jobs?

>>4780375
some guy did join but I just watched him run around in my hiding spot, he eventually ran towards me and I killed him and found out it's unranked still so now I'm just fucking around in a little bird

>all my usual squaddies are offline
>join a friend and wind up on the wrong side of a pubstomp

>die twice to the M-26 glitch then get spawn knifed

Well fuck BF3 tonight

>>4779718
>>4780020
Wait, it may have been because I was on the opposite team. Do people still do that? All they were talking about was how their pilot sucked And they hoped he would get shot down, so its not like it gave away their strategy.

>>4780465

But ECM does.

But Below Radar does.

The ECM is broken in the jets. It works on the attack helis though.

Below radar is useless on jets unless you want to risk crashing. Below radar works fine on choppers.

>>4780719
Everytime I use the ECM Jammer, I still get hit with BOTH launched rockets. I have never had below radar work for me. I've been flying so low my fucking balls were on the ground, and I will still be targeted by any fucking jet or heli.

does anyone actually use the EOD bot?

or for that matter the MAV?

I've seen the MAV a handful of times but never seen an EOD bot...i hope DICE didn't waste too much time implementing them that could have spent fixing something that was genuinely derped.

also...i tried the M16A4 on burst yesterday...talk about easy mode, one burst will down pretty much anyone and it is very accurate even at range...found my new favourite gun

>>4780882
That's your problem. In my experience, ECM Jammer only breaks locks on heatseekers before they're launched, as well as all laser-guided missiles. Once they're in the air you better find somewhere to put down and repair or start screaming at your gunner to pop flares.

>>4780964
EOD bot I see a ton of during Rush, since it's actually useful there. MAV was fucking everywhere before the patch, since you could camp in your base and get 30+ kills with it.

looking for some bros with mics to play on PS3 with, PSN is Exile650.

>PS3

>>4780964
Only during Rush, which is the only time it's really useful.

I do like to see it though, if only because in the back of my head...
>la cucaracha, la cucaracha, no lo puede caminar...

>>4780247

DICE are fucking horrible at balancing weapons, i swear they don't even test it.

in BF2 one of the patches increases the accuracy and damage of the PKM, it was literally a full auto sniper rifle, you could go prone at one end of a map and literally no one could get past.

admittedly, that is how an LMG should be used, but compared to the rest of the guns, it was OP as fuck.

they'll do the same throughout BF3s life, try to buff one weapon slightly and make it a million times better than the others

>>4780970
go to bed

Also, its the same for me when Im using Ecm jammer. Its just generally better tu use flares since they have an 80% chance to actually work.

>>4781078
>camp in your base and get 30+ kills with it.
Yeah, pretty useless now, not that I would know or anything..

>>4780247
They had shotgun balance right in Bad Company 2. 12 pellets for pump or 6 pellets for semi/auto.

On a good day the pump shotguns where a single hit kill murder machine with a recycle time that made you pray you got the next round off before you died or with dumb luck you got a kill with each 4/8 shells.

That or you just used 100 damage at close range slugs.

I felt comfortable with just 6 shells of buckshot in Hardcore Bad Company 2 but the range feels incredibly nerfed in Battlefield 3. Flechette almost feels the same.

I've been using the M16A3 for Assault recently and I can't help but feel sorry for everyone who crosses my path.

Payday is taking too long to get here.

Am I the only one who simply prefers to put a suppressor on just about everything for that undercover feel?

That and I like it since it reduces a lot of the recoil half the time.

Oh, and I fucking love the PP19. With the Kobra, suppressor, and lasik lazer it's perfect for up close.

>>4782594
I agree that the suppressor is awesome since you don't show up on enemy minimap when you fire, but how in the world can you love the PP19?

>>4782594
>>4783220
I loved the PP-19 when I first started using it, just wrecked with it and it had lots of ammo.

Haven't used it much since and started using the MP7.

>caring about stats
>not just playing with someone to judge how good they are

>>4783220
Because it's got a big ass magazine and I'm quite accurate with it by bursting, that it's perfect for up close with the laser.

I use to like the MP7 (I still do) but the PP19 for me just works so much better, and it has a larger magazine along with the ability to equip the suppressor.

>>4780964
Since the Repair Tool is hilariously good against vehicles now, I'll use the EOD Bot on tanks, wait for the bad guy to get out, then drive under the tank. Guy is confused, either runs off or repairs tank, and if he gets in again I begin the cycle anew. Shit's hilarious, yo.

God I love fucking annoying chopper pilots up the ass.

Few things are as aggravating as a chopper that wants you dead and will spend the entire round trying to hunt you down, hovering at the height ceiling spamming heat-seekers. I'd fly around the edge of the map and just watch as he would turn in place to track me.

Good thing he couldn't help his team by knocking out armor during this time. Our tank bros and infantry pushed them all the way back to deployment and it was delicious base rape for almost half the round.

>>4783541
If you could easily control it worth a damn, it might be worth it.

>>4783653

Oh shit, I love when chopper pilots attempt revenge. On Wake, I C4'd a HAVOC when the pilot was stupid enough to come down super low. He constantly attempted to kill me via chopper getting killed by my team. He eventually jumped out above me and attempted to shoot down, then lost track of me and hid near one of the buggys in B. I defib'd him to death, and he wrote the this on chat and then left:

"defib you adn youre mothre"

Looking at the Battlefield Blog, it looks like everyone likes FG+FS with 33% of votes (6,383 votes), while FG+HBar is second with 31% of votes (6,062 votes).

I'm having a problem launching BF3 on PC. The application shows up in the task manager, but it hangs at around 3k memory usage, and doesn't launch.

I just bought BF3 on Origin and downloaded, installed, updated battlelog, updated punkbuster, updated chrome. When this didn't work I re-downloaded the whole game. Still doesn't work. Deleted all the files except data and the installer and did a repair from origin. Still nothing.

Why isn't it working?

>>4786394
I use the Recon to grind for stars for the shotguns/PDWs and I do this all the time. Only time I use sniper rifles is to shoot down bumblefuck snipers on cranes, and even then I use an ACOG because it's all I really need.

>>4792864
They have lots of cores but still perform worse at most applications. Consume lots of power, single core efficiency is shit. Etc.

>>4792864
The thing was in development for freaking forever and AMD promised an Intel Sandy Bridge killer.

What was eventually released was a CPU which high-end models were below average in performance and efficiency.
It is actually inferior to a slightly overclocked version of its direct predecessor, the Phenom.

As somebody who liked AMD for the previously very good performance/energy usage/costs ratio of their CPUs this was one hell of a dissapointment.
Especially considering the long wait.

Did it get harder to kill with the MAV? I used to roadkill prone snipers much easier, but now I can't hit shit.

>>4792864

sums it up

>>4786394
Because there's only one way to play recon, right? What's wrong with finding a good vantage point that covers a large area, then spotting/sniping everyone and forcing the enemy to keep their heads down.

>>4792864
bulldozer is fine but for most applications a phenom II performed better alot of that had to do with windows not being optimized for the new architecture

With all that being said bulldozer has more than enough power for 90% of people

Any Eurobros to play with? It's really fun to play with guys from /v/ but most of the time that means enduring horrible pings.

>>4796796
I see you like to assume things with no basis to them. I only play conquest actually, and I do capture points, although I'll prefer to defend them instead. Nobody who knows how to use a sniper rifle stands still for more than a few second to take a shot out in the open because not moving is the easiest way to get counter sniped.

Why is it so hard lately to find a decent conquest/cqassault map without any bullshit added on? I.E. Fast Respawn, Fast Vehicle respawn, 1500 tickets. All I want is a normal game with 500 tickets or so.

What is the diffrence between conquest and conquest assault?

>>4797721
conquest has an uncap for both teams
conquest assault has only one uncap

>>4797721
About $15

>That feel when you own BF3 on PC
>That feel when you are so shit at K+M you just cant do shit so your stuck with playing it on 360 because your better with a controller

Anyone else having a hard time shooting down choppers with your IGLA/Stingers? I thought they increased the power and nerfed the range. I heard it was supposed to be a 1 hit disable or some shit.

Also, I've only been playing for a little while, what is a good medium range set up for a carbine? or is this game more focused on like, personal preferences? it isn't like cod were the next thing you get is locked because they made it statistically better right?

>>4799731
>that feel when you've been using K + M for years, but still lose to people using the dart glitch

>>4799731
You can't seriously have both and prefer the xbawks version. some people...

>>4797589

Fast vehicle spawn fucks over balance on so many maps it's not even funny.

>>4785804

My Iranian overlord i'm using glorious KH2002 to kill filthy Amerikans.

so what's all this about "skill" being a stat or something? does score per minute really matter that much? I do pretty darn well and usually top the score boards, but I'm on >PS3, so I guess it's just lower due to the smaller max player count?

>>4800990
Disregard SPM and Skill. Acquire Dogtags.

>>4800640

I dont prefer the xbawks version i just suck ass at K+M im better with a controller

>>4800990
Skill rating doesn't mean anything. Hell, in BC2 it fluctuates so much that it changes if I so much as sneeze. It's Score Per Minute that really determines who's a good player.

>>4803510
SPM doesnt mean shit when there is TDM and Metro

>>4803510
Eh, I'm over focusing on being a "good player". I just want to have fun.

Fun involves playing the game the way you're supposed to, at least for me.

So I haven't played in months, is it just me or is the DAO the new USAS?

>>4800374


I hate the dart glitch to, but it does have its uses.

I prefer the game without it, but if it is used against me I will become one with the thing and wreck shit.

The day I shoot someone out of a jet with it is the day I campaign for its removal

>>4804884
the DAO has a extremely long reload time

>>4805109
Yes, but I've noticed it's ROF and DMG still piss people off extensively.

>>4804960

What the fuck is up with that dart thing anyway?

why is it so OP? when i shoot people with it, it takes forever but everyone can just 1 shot kill me

>>4805207
known glitch with it and a couple attachments that will cause each pellet to do the damage of the assault rifle

>>4805253

its the medic dart isn't it? like instead of a med kit you use that? didnt know it had attachments, im guessing its the 12 buck rounds?

aint played in awhile just noticed this gun

>>4805327
yeah, no, by attachments I mean attachments on the rifle

>>4805381

Ohh my bad thanks for clearing that up

>>4806571
DUDE. Just add people. Play with them. Ask them things, see how they play and learn from them. If you have it on PS3, add me. Gonna play for a few hours if you want to...[/spoiler]AND FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A MIC, GET ONE.[/spoiler]

>>4806648
I would, but I've been playing since launch. I usually always tread the top of the score board, if not in the top 6/5 most of the time, but I always come to the generals and see everyone post crazy SPM and "Skill"

>>4806792
'Skill' is jack shit. It can fluctuate "with a sneeze" as was posted on one of these generals before. SPM is where it's at, but those people probably play on PC where you HAVE to be great. There is no middle man. On consoles, there's various skill ranges. Hell, my SPM is 399. I'm not the best, but I can get shit done if need be.

Oh, and most of the time, SPM is inflated by playing 24/7 TDM Metro.

HEY CONSOLE PLEBS

>>4806792
Just post it, half the people I play with complain about how they have bad battlelogs then proceed to outscore me when we group up.
If you squad up more your battlelog will reflect that, you aint gonna make it as a one man army.

>>4806916
my SPM is 258

>>4807007
that means you are a sniper or just dont play the objective

a decent player that at least plays the objective will have at least 350 to 400 spm

>>4807007

Acceptable

Means your at least doing something.

I for the life of me can't get below 450.

Seriously. Assault and combat recon swims in points

>>4806953
You failed to mention the group name.

>>4807007
Lemme guess, you don't squad up with bros and no one uses a mic on your team? My SPM was around 250 till I started playing with people who knew what they were doing.

>>4807102
I almost NEVER play recon

>>4807007

My skill is 317 and my Score/Min is 312

My SPM is 500ish, but I can't get it past that now. Don't know what else to do really, I almost always get top 3 in every game I play properly too.

>>4807178
Exactly, I only have 1 guy who I personally know IRL who actually has the game and a ps3.

I go for the objective, but 8 time out of 10, I'm thrown onto a ridiculously derped out team.

We're talking kids who don't even assign objectives or know how to spot.

>>4805856
>That feel when you wrecked everybody's shit as part of a javeline crew
>mfw most tanks now roll with smoke for precisely that reason

All those battlefield moments.
Pulling off stuff like this was just glorious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFr2B2_61Mk&t=1m12s

My SPM is super high. Nonstop 24/7 metro. Eat it plebs. I am a statistically superior lifeform.

>>4807178
see >>4761792

>>4807238
see, my SPM might be 256, but my Skill is calculated at 361, whatever the hell that means.

Honestly I haven't played much recently, and when I have it hasn't been serious, just goofing off while I stream the game for a crowd or two. I don't know how much that effects it. I never really bothered to keep track of it until moot made /vg/ and that march patch came out.

>>4807324
Ive had mine at ~700 but this was while I was going USAS frag + M320 in 24/7 metro it would have kept climbing if I had continued using the M320 + USAS after I got 500 kills with both

So what FOV do you guys play with?

>>4807580
highest it can go with the slider I think 90

I know you can go higher but it seems like anything higher gives the fisheye effect at 1080p

>>4807580
120.

>>4807706
Yes, but some times it's uncomfortable to play with anything less

For some reason, my mic in Raidcall isn't working, but when I tested it, it responded. What the fuck?

>servers filled with semi automatic recons dominating every range with their railguns

Wanna hear a good joke?

Dice

What's better for sniping? Bolt or Semi?

Is there any difference in the two if just aiming for headshots?

looks like most of vg is from america... I would like to play with some vg bros, but i live n europe and the time difference and latency issues, hold me back. How many Europe bros are here? Oh, and would be nice if you could use voice chat.. Btw Im on xbox

>>4810243


Bolt for long range, semi for close-medium

Semi has higher fire rate, but terrible damage drop off at range, bolt can 2 shot head shot any range

>>4811824

Fuck sake guys

i played this from launch all the time it was amazing then the USAS 12 fags came along and started ruining it for me so i stopped, then i heard they patched it

so i thought i'll try it again now its some fucking Dart gun that one hit kills you

i fucking hate these fucking fags that care about there K/D and not actually play the game properly its all about K/D K/D so they can stroke there fucking e penis

>"HUFF HUFF I JUST WENT 40-10 U MAD GUYS?!?!"

just stop you arent cool no one thinks you're a big shot you are a pathetic faggot

yes im mad, my jimmies are rustled

>>4813526

Stop crying and fight fire with fire.

I can't wait for the creative mods! Right guys?. .. hello .. anyone?

Ok, how the fuck do I disable bloom and annoying lighting effects?

The .ini file is some jumbled shit.

>>4816970
You don't.
There are custom FXAA injectors to remove the gray-blue filter and add some actual color to this game.
The bloom and lightning settings on the other hand appear to be hard coded into the game files. Changing those would probably result in Punkbuster kicking you from every server and EA suing your ass.

Everybody has to deal with it. You might as well buy some strong sunglasses for playing this game.

>>4786090
I'll post it up on Battlelog later. Failing that, I know a couple of guys at EA, maybe they'll pass it on for me.

Anyway, I just found this a few minutes ago. Supports BF3+B2K. Will try it out tonight to see if it is at least marginally acceptable as a Commander Mode substitute for strategic planning.

http://www.gameplanlive.com/index.php

>>4819774
That is assfuckingly retarded.

I can't see shit half the the time and every light has a shaft I can't disable.

>>4820936
...or not. Reading the patch notes again, it appears that the 870/MASS still has the full 12 pellets while all other shotguns now have 9, though damage was dropped for buckshot/flechette ammo overall.

Makes me wonder what the actual fuck is going on with the 870 then. If it still has more firepower pellet-wise than the autoshotties, then why does the Saiga 12K seem to outshoot it at the same range no matter what? Maybe it's bugged and got a nerf intended for everything else instead of being left alone as the exception?

Really wish we can get a lot of bros on /v/'s BF server. Most I've seen online were like 10 players :(

what am I doing wrong?

I cannot into 400spm ;_;

Protip: Fly jets, you will suddenly have top 0% skill in bf3.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/brutalthem/stats/226617927/

http://bf3stats.com/stats_pc/brutalthem

So how is 526-540 SPM?

good job on dropping the ammo for me robot panda
you stupid fucker

>>4823562
It's good. As they said earlier, anything higher than 400 is good.

>>4823210

Looks good except for the blatant Flanker padding on Oman-Wake. Leave those poor F-35s alone..

basing you "skill" off spm is stupid, if you do this then you're stupid as well and really should go back to call of dooty. I can go to metro and spam nades and my 320 all day and get a high spm, I guess that would make me good huh?

There is no balance in this game
In the 300 hours I have played this game I dont remember any games that ended within 50 tickets of each other
There is no skill to this game the only time you are going to win is if join in on the stacked teams side or teamswitch over to it

Everybody is sooooo concerned with their stats that they do this bullshit 2142 was the last true battlefield game because most people actually played the objective and didn't tactical teamswitch to the winning team

>>4826267
That's not the game's problem so much as it's a result of modern gamers being incredibly fucking stupid.

Seriously, in a 12v12 game, I've pulled two other guys on my team into a squad while capped out and just completely buttfucked the "winning" team in a matter of minutes because we actually did shit like communicate and use our class equipment.

In BF2/2142, players had higher expectations of one another. I can't remember a single instance of people not actually playing the objective in large numbers while on either of those two games. BF3? Half of one team at any given time will be playing Recon with an M98B or sitting at deployment waiting for a helicopter. Guaranteed.

So....

Was that 2143 thing a joke?

are there any private servers? ones here random people can't pick quick match and join? I swear to god my whole team was getting raped from behind and I was the only one trying to kill the guys behind us

Had some odd moments on No Fun Allowed/ ps3 not long ago.

Conquest on Metro, our team conquered all the bases and proceeded to bleed out the enemy in their base after capturing A. Then shit got boring. Everyone else was pretty effective in pinning them down, and I usually don't enjoy base raping, so I headed back to check if there were some attempting to bypass us. Nope.

Returned and I cheaply shot a few souls who were running out in the open. Eventually, they just stayed in the starting area, mostly sniping, and I walked more and more forward with some others. Placed down an ammo crate - after which I noticed that there were several lying there already - and I lobbed a grenade towards the base. I Pressed the grenade-button again, and I threw one again. Pressed again, and I threw one again (?). Within a second of throwing one, I had one to my disposal.

So I guess I figured out that the ammo crates' recharge time stack with the amount of crates lying around. Suddenly, there were around four of us throwing grenades in continues session towards their base untill the round ended. The End.

>>4825239
Nah, padding hard in the F-35s too. Turn at 305-307 and it's exactly the same plane. Higher flanker score because of the venom. 5 free kills every time =)

>1 more ribbon away from another medal
>1 more kill away from another star on my AN-94

what am I doing on /vg/

>>4825239
As a matter of fact i find it somewhat easier to dogfight with the F-35 versus the Flanker. The flanker is a bigger jet, easier to hit, and the f-35 has a lower FOV and a somewhat "zoom" in its cockpit. good for long tricky shots!

can't wait for the dog DLC

>>4828117
>So I guess I figured out that the ammo crates' recharge time stack with the amount of crates lying around. Suddenly, there were around four of us throwing grenades in continues session towards their base untill the round ended. The End.

I'm getting mixed messages if med packs are cumulative in Battlefield 3 as they were in Bad Company 2. Boy it could get hilarious with 3 med packs down in that game on a squad.

>I'm a medic
>kill a medic
>I drop a med crate
>squad mate walks in and takes the enemy medic's kit
>he drops a med crate
>another squad mate drops a med crate too

Same with Assault/Support kits and ammo.

Does everyone on No Fun Allowed have a third god damn thumb? people are running, jumping aiming and shooting all at the same time

>>4828145
>Have 7 weps that are less than 5 kills away from another star.
>Don't give a fuck and use something else.

The G36c has been one kill away from a star for like 3 months already.

>>4825315

I hate the reload time on the DAO-12 and I've been working on the Saiga now. The DAO-12 just feels better in my hands and gets kills at just the range I want unlike the Saiga.

>>4830354
I think of myself as a decent player, but on NFA, I'm burning myself out to perform adequately. Even my ps3 had more than a few moments that it seemed to be choking, or some shit.

Why did they have to turn the F2000 to shit? It was the AR I could use on any map, and now I can't even fucking get 1 kill with it. And I'm a few kills away from my 5th service star with it. Fuck DICE! YOU COCKMONGLING RETARDED ASS SWEDISH NIGGERS, LEARN TO ACTUALLY NERF WHAT NEEDS TO BE NERFED YOU WHORES. YES I MAD! ALL CAPS INCOHERENT RAEG.

Not sure how serious you guys are being, but the only "news" I've read regarding End Game is a rumor that it'll take place in a jungle environment. Which I think would be kinda neat since it'd give me an excuse to try out the jungle camo.

I use the DAO-12 with Slight of Hand Pro. Really speeds up the reload.

>>4835867
>dat feel when no at single fucking kill
Shit like this makes me want to play hardcore.

>>4837183
It's not any better in hardcore.

Can someone explain this shit to me? Today I killed an engineer, then picked up his kit to deal with a tank, and used his javelin to disable it (someone else finished it off). Was the first and only time I ever used a javelin in this game. How did I end up with 200% accuracy?

Did splash damage hurt some guy next to the tank or something?

>>4836229
>Slight of Hand
>Slight

>>4839405
>Did splash damage hurt some guy next to the tank or something?

Likely, I've been killed a lot by Javelins while repairing vehicles.

Okay so I just bought a new laptop and it kicks fucking ass so far, I've been able to run everything I've wanted to play so far (ME3, Tribes, etc) and the only thing that's been kind of crappy so far (but still very playable) was Tribes. Do you think this thing could handle BF3 at least on lowest settings?

You know you're doing it right when the Admin gets so buttfrustrated over you capping him out that he switches you to his team, you switch back, he switches you over again, and you proceed to just say "fuck it" and undo all the work you spent the first 15 minutes doing. Sensor sweeps make shit stupidly easy if your team has a few brain cells to spare (most don't).

Knifed PiZzaTheHut14 too, so that was satisfying. I love that movie.

This baby is fueled by high ranked whiners who cry when something counters their flavor of the month weapon i love it.

The reason I like Metro so much is that it's fast paced. I spent a long time in BF2 and the maps in BF3 are too big. It's like you spend all your time on foot or in a buggy trying to get to place to place only to be picked off and repeating the step. All the good vehicles are taken or people waiting in base for them.

Please stop occupying the Battlefield demographic

>>4866307
Once the close quarters dlc comes out and it'll probably be a day 1 purchase. I hope they focus and cater to our type as well and head in this direction.

>>4866183
Stop trying to play a game mode that requires teamwork by yourself.

>that feel when getting smoke kills
>the feel when exponential rage from enemies

I'm riding the M26 DART like a $5 hooker. It's fucking glorious. I don't feel bad at all. Thank DICE, and thank the faggots that whined so much that DICE decided to "fix things". Now the game is insta-gib mode, and it's all about who can twitch with the MASS the best.

I'll continue my abuse until the next patch, then I'll move onto the next OP weapon that's virtually garanteed to occur.

>>4868078
the DART has been like that since release tard

just nobody knew about it because there wasnt any reason to use any attachments other than the foregrip + suppressor

>>4868167

Oh. Still don't feel bad at all.

The game needs a medium sized map with both outdoor and indoor elements for the console players. Something like a larger version of Vacant from CoD4 but with scout helos and light tanks. Close, mid, and long range engagements would all be common. Or maybe something like an airfield.

M16A3 is incredible. Love it.


Also, am I the only one that likes using iron sights on guns that they're actually decent on? AS-VAL, AK74M, M16A3/4, all pretty good with irons. And snipers, of course.

>>4869790
You are not alone.
I went back to iron sights on the M27 IAR yesterday after using it with holo since forever.
It instantly felt more comfortable and I got better results with it.
G3A3 and M39 also have very nice sights.

Am I the only one who cannot stand the default US iron sights (PDW, MK11, moster bolt action rifles), though?

>>4870205
they are alright but aren't made for fast paced gameplay.

>>4869790

The only irons I prefer are those on the AK series of rifles and the 870. Everything else gets a Kobra or the PK-A.

I'm still pissed about the 870 nerf. I miss my baby...

>>4770668
Redundant and stupid, the muzzle flash gets dissipated into the baffles along with the expanding gases.

It's literally a miniature car muffler for your gun. Barring extreme circumstances, there will never be flames shooting out the back of your exhaust nor out of the end of your suppressor.

I haven't played in awhile. Didn't the MG36 have an Extended mag?

>>4874970
I believe that it was put in permanently , and heavy barrel was added

>saddlesore Germans putting m26=ban on their servers

Where will i get my enjoyment of making krauts cry from now?

>ruining game by using a gun that ruins it
brilliant logic

>>4877975

>implying i'm not having the time of my life

Get on my level!

>>4878154
so basically you're one of the stereotypical morons that think using a broken gun is fair?

>>4878196

Yup, Does that frustrate you?

>>4878350
no, just makes me further hate the community, including you

>>4878196

>fair
>everyone has it

Something's wrong with that statement.

>>4880129
back to my original statement
>ruining a game further by using a broken gun that further ruins it
brilliant logic

>>4878196

nope, its just my way of showing my frustration with DICE. If enough ppl bitch theyll fix it and the game will be back to normal aka whichever other gun is OP mow

Is there any way to try bf3 on pc? I had a shit pc during the beta and interested to try it now. Is my only option to buy it?

>>4880234

Your tears, i cant hold all of them.

>>4880317
nope and yes

>>4880323
and thus bf3 gets shittier and shittier because of idiots like you

>>4880370

>opens general
>sees this

>bawwwwwww its not fair because i wanna show erryone how l337 i r with rifles

Griefing has been part of the bf community from the beginning, get over it

Does it rustle anyones jimmies when people don't use faction specific weapons?

Babbysitting 3.

Would anyone be interested in playing with me while using Skype or TeamSpeak or something? I hate playing alone and not having anyone to communicate with.

SunnyCokeZero is my Battlelog name.

>>4860729
But it can already shoot behind itself, making it way errrr than then Abrams.

>>4881167
No ones begging a crying babby to continue playing the game

>>4881331
It doesn't rustle my jimmies, but I make a point of it.

Looking for non idiots to play with. Got 580 SPM and a mic.
>Inb4 shitstorm

So are mods ever coming to this game?

>>4885624
nope

why would EA give mod tools to a game so people could make their own content when they can make shoddy maps and still rake in all the money?

>>4881331

OPERATORS don't use faction specific weapons. So no.

>>4885667

;_;7

But I really want them.

>>4885753
unfortunately it doesn't make sense business wise and EA is money grubbing so...

>be playing Gulf of Oman
>start off as Russians and notice (as usual) a bunch of US snipers on top of the construction buildings by our base.

>easy headshot on the guy standing up walking around with a sniper rifle

>rinse and repeat 10 more times
>he goes right back to the exact same floor in the exact same spot and tries to search for me.

Motherfucker, I just killed you 11 times in a row. How are you this fucking autistic? What makes you think that I won't shoot you a 12th time? This is why I hate your typical Recon faggot. They go to the fucking highest point in the map and shoot down on us like they're fucking Zeus with lightning and nobody can touch them. They never move. They never relocate after the shot. And to make matters worse, they're STANDING. Come the fuck on.
The first thing I do when I go in to a map is check the typical high-up sniper points. I usually find a place tucked in a building, some shadows, a little garden or something where nobody else goes and set up shop for a while. And I always move after my shot. I may stay in the same general area, but fuck...I don't stand still.

>sigh
>bring scope up and center crosshairs
>pop goes the weasel
>+100 points

Goddamn kids.

>>4885753
To bad that EA doesn't give a single fuck about their customers beyond getting as much of their money as fast as possible.

One DLC per quarter. By the time the average player is done with the content of one the hype-engine is going strong for the next one.
Why would they bother with free mod tools that would give rise to free quality content when they can just continue to immitate CoD and get all the money they care for?

>>4885667
The official word for not giving mod tools is that Frostbite 2 is too complex for modding. My brother's a programmer, and judging from how the engine works,even he thinks it would be a huge pain in the ass to mod.

Then again, I still think DICE should release mod tools just so people can at least TRY to do something with it. It'll show it's not just press talk. Mods also increase the longevity of the game; I have no doubt some people are still buying BF2 for Project Reality.

I'm dissapointed in /v/ and /vg/
for all the talk everyone spews, I'm better than most people that visit No Fun Allowed. I came from cawadooty expecting a decent learning curve and quality players, not having to grind out 2 factions and already being slightly above average in 6 hours of playing
The only thing I can't do is fly a jet or fly well in a heli

So my psu died today. Luckily I had a back up rig I traded for with my second 6870, that had a psu in it. Unluckily that psu can't work for my p6t deluxe motherboard. So I'm about to try running bf3 with a 6870, 2 gigs of ram, and a 2.2 ghz amd dual core cpu. This is going to be ugly.

>>4886363
The BF3 hype died about a month after the game was released.

The only people who play it are the ones in this thread and some Europeans.

>>4890083
I only play on the weekend when my friends are off of work. Ah the ravages of age.

>>4889576
Tell me about it.

>tfw 21st birthday, instead of going out, I'm going to be at home playing BF3

>implying I have any friends

Bitches and whores

Fucking hell, I always come into BF3 General when its damn near dead.

Well, if anyone wants to play, my PSN is Zakatus. I have a mic and SPM is 398. Message me or something, gonna play for an hour or two.

>>4890675
Happy Birthday

>i'm getting bf3 only in the end of the year because poorfag
>mfw everyone complaining about the gameplay, the community and how they dropped it after their 1st month...

This happens only here right?
Right?...

>>4891959
We complain a lot but we keep playing because we're here forever.

I really want an explanation as to why I'm CONSTANTLY placed on teams so spectacularly retarded that they often cannot score a SINGLE kill. I had a team that was literally populated with children earlier - two of my teammates spun around randomly while their microphones made all sorts of baby babble and their parents asked "are you having fun?" in the background.

Holy shit, I hope all of these fuckers's Xboxes/PS3s/NVIDIA cards explode and their houses burn down with them in it. If you are seriously this shit at such an easy game, you are not fit to populate this gene pool.

>>4891959

the game is still very active

>>4891274
Thanks bro

>>4892750
>>4892000
I see. My RL friends stopped playing it out of the blue, because they lost interest in it, so it kinda startled me I don't know..

A day in the life of an average BF3 player:

>"Hey look, what is that?"
>"It's a helicopter!"
>"I have a jet/Stinger/laser designated missile, should I shoot it down?"
>"Nah, they look cool! Check it out, it's making fireworks! Hey, do you want to go back to deployment and eat paste?"

>>4894891
>try to use stinger
>lol below radar blocks it all and once they are out of range and can't use it it gets away from your range
bullshit
>I try to use it
>never works, locked on constantly across the map, behind a mountain, underground you name it, they'll lock onto it

>>4885578
I remember you. I added you to my old PSN account, but then one day you disappeared from my friends list.

>>4891219
You ought to try posting on the platoon ahead of time, then I can log on at the same time. Been waiting for a chance to try out my new mic.

I honestly don't get what you guys see in this goddamn game. All I see is:
>CoDfags with no brain activity going on that don't understand how to cap a point/drop ammo/meds/or be useful in general
>DICE being retarded when it comes to "patching" shit
>Tanks with styrofoam armor even with Reactive Armor on
>Air vehicles that are OP/broken
>Having to "Rent a Server" because EA is a huge jew corp.

Not even Activision is this bad.

>>4895326
I don't bother with Stingers anymore. I just snipe them down with tank shells and RPGs. I'm actually getting better at it.

>>4896593
>I try to do this
>misses every time even though it's less than a foot away
bullshit as well I just commit suicide if a helicopter is on me

>>4897092
+ fucking suppression.

the only good jet for RU is the frogfoot

>on 360
>someone messages me if I want to join a gaming community
>asks which one
>oh fuck

What do i say? I consider you guys my community, but I don't think its a recognized "community"

i bought this game (for xbox) about a week ago and ive been playing it a lot.

its fun and all but i prefer bad company 2 (PC) a lot more.

anyone else?

>>4899704
1.well duh you have an xbox
2.bad company 2 was amazing but I also like bf3

Why the fuck is BF2 full of such faggots. the community is so fucking horrible.

>join server
>all day its been horribly imbalanced
>we lose every round at least 9 rounds 0-150ish
>type "the fucking teams need to be balanced"
>banned

don't even fucking get me started on dice being massive queefs and ignoring ATI/AMD card users getting massive black spots all over terrain forever, also the fact that EA still has a hardon for punk buster.

holy fuck, all of my rage. this game is so much fun, but it's just unplayable because of this shit. It's like finding a 10/10 girl but she has aids and a horrible contagious flu 24/7 365.

AND DONT EVEN FUCKING GET ME STARTED ON THE FUCKING BRS HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
sorry my post isn't about bf3.

>>4900330
Doesn't matter, we talk about all Battlefields a lot in here. Mostly about their pros over 3.
