But it's much easier to do US versus Russia because all you have to do is just palette swap the uniforms.

>>115268796
I got the MAV medal and dog tags the same day I got the MAV.

I fucking love that little bastard. Use it to scout for the whole team, or use it to find enemy snipers for you to counter snipe, either way it works pretty damn well.

>>115269018
But BF2 had chinese, yuropeans and middle eastern, and their development budget wasn't big...

>>115269204
It was a different world back then

Yo dudes. I highly recommend playing the co-op mission Fire From The Sky.

Before it I couldn't fly Helicopters to save my life (or the lives of my passengers) but since I was so worried about embarrassing myself in front of my teammate, I absolutely didn't want to fuck up. I played it a few times, getting a better and better handle on the controls each time.

Now I'm a goddamned Heli ace, flying that shit through Damavand Peak's tunnels and shit.

It can also help you become a better gunner, but that shouldn't be too hard for anybody anyway.

Seriously, I know the prospect of playing co-op with a (potentially retarded) stranger is a nightmarish one, but trust me. Play it on easy, then when you've got a handle on that, move up to normal, then graduate to hard. It is the best teacher you could possibly hope for.

>>115268815
You forgot the imminent Iranian-US backed Jewish war.

>>115269247
There was no cowa dooty influence?

>>115269371
Yes, and EA is even worse today.

Thank you sir for being one of those people who practice and learn how to do something with a reasonable amount of talent on their own, instead of HERPDERPING into it and killing all your teammates and setting your team back..

>>115269436
>>115269265

whoops.

>>115269179

Yeah i dont know whats with all the hate and people calling it useless when is not. Its easy to see the negatives when you compare it to the UAV of BC2 but the positives are more in my opinion.

The thing is portable and you can use it anywhere you want to. Its a lot more stealthy, hard to spot and is almost impossible to destroy it with bullets. Its better for spotting than the UAV because you can spot big groups at once. Plus you can road kill and barely anyone notices since its so silence.

The little thing is amazing for team deathmatch on the night city map. Its awesome to spot the entire enemy team and see your guys shoot at those directions. Its like i am playing a freaking RTS!

I've been playing since 1942 and BF 2.

What's the fucking deal with the maps, man? The cap points are literally like 200 metres away from each other, which results in the battle ending up in the middle of the map.

I really hope B2K isn't like this.

I mean I'm having fun and all, but fucking seriously? Bad Company 2 feels bigger in terms of scale. :\

>>115269420
I bet the Console Peasant did it.

>enter caspian server

>>115269265
>>115269436
>>115269461
My chopper skills came from BF2. It just took me a few tries to adapt them for BF3's slightly altered control scheme.

You are right though, Fire From the Sky is an amazing training aid and you only piss off one person if you fuck up, rather than 31 people, potentially.

Also, stealing the other team's helicopter on a Rush map is also useful for training. If you fly well, you deny the enemy air transport and kill them a few times. If you do bad, you denied the enemy air transport for a little bit.

I went 2-1 and 1500 points or so after hijacking the American's VENOM on a Caspian Border Rush round. Got into it in the first few minutes of the game and was in it until the game ended with our defeat. Didn't have an Engineer and just had IR Flares, so could only take ~2 Stingers before going down, so I had to evade, dodge, and bide time for repairs to kick in.

At least 1 person said I was "crazy skilled" when I was buzzing the ground at the second set of MCOMs to evade MANPAD's lock on.

So many Driver Assists and Spotting Assists.

>>115269784
Final Solution you say?

>>115269595
I've only been able to road kill one person so far. I've tried at least 20 times and it never works.

Also, there was a weapon attached to it that you probably haven't noticed, an equipment jammer. Aim at enemy equipment (Radio beacons and the ground radar are the only ones I've tested so far) and you can blow it up. If you spot it, it might lock on to them for an easy "jam", but it can be fired manually if you steady yourself and line up a shot. It looks like a small explosion, but it doesn't seem to do any damage.

I tried it on enemy Mortars, but it doesn't work. I haven't tested it vs. enemy explosives (C4, Claymores) or other unmanned vehicles (MAVs and EOD bots), but I'd be willing to bet you can jam the latter.

How the fuck do you avoid STINGers and shit being locked on you while in the heli? I mean I have flares but they are not unlimited. I have no problem flying the damn thing (I used to "main" it in BC2)

can i still pirate stuff with origin installed?

>>115267806
>>115267806

>>115270518
For Stingers, use your flares, and fly far out of range while reloading flares. Remember that you can go way outside the boundaries of infantry. For Heatseekers, I don't know, I guess pray to whatever deity you like.

I really hope they fix this

>>115270518
There are three noises for missile lock:
1. A beeping tone that means someone is locking on to you.
2. A steady tone that means you are locked on to.
3. A rapidly beeping tone, different from the first, that means a missile is approaching.

Release flares during the 3rd tone.

Fly low or around high objects to break the lock and/or get the missile to crash into something else.

If all else fails, try a crazy maneuver to dodge the missile or land and get out hoping the missile forgets it was targeting something.

>>115270815
>>115270712
Thanks bros, the amount of shit you get shot at you is fucking crazy compared to BC2, had to adjust to it.

>>115269600
This. If only they were further apart, it'd be so glorious ;_;

>>115270750

What, you really hope they fix a jets inability to stay alive indefinitely?

If so, you're a fucking idiot.

>>115271321

I'm talking about choppers. Learn2read

>>115271321

>Enter Chopper

Chopper != Jet

Jets with flares should have absolutely no problems with stingers unless the entire enemy team has stingers.

>>115271205
>>115269600
I don't know dudes. I played a ton of BF2, and while it will always have a special place in my heart, I prefer BF3's maps. Though they are smaller, they still offer a massive sense of scale. And the fact that they're smaller means a more focused fight. How much time in BF2 did you spend just driving from point to point with very few threats?

Do we know what the max level unlock is yet?

>>115267379
Just played on a server (PC), guy had aimbot,

1 shot headshotting everyone. 50-2 k/d 15 mins in

origin is so fucking good

>>115271509
>implying Origin has any advertised anti-cheat

step up nigga

Some of the maps are ok, could use some tweaking but are ultimately fun and playable. Others are just downright retarded though.

Conquest Damavand and Metro are perfect examples of this.

so, guys

given the idiocy where you can't enter the enemy's base territory in bf3 without dying 10 seconds later, how's the layout for wake possibly going to work? are they going to make an exception to that stupidity and make it possible to run through, or (gasp) cap the japanese base, or will they just keep on steaming at full retard?

>>115271515
>Same image with photoshopped elements
Durrrrr.

>>115269265
How did you get co-op to work? Every time I try it fails to connect.

>>115271397
>>115271419

Regardless, my words apply to helicopters as well.

>>115271724
I didn't do anything. I just went to the co-op page, clicked public matchmake and got into a game.

>>115271724
Are you using Chrome? I think there's a problem with that.

Check the Battlelog Forums, use the search function. You'll find answers.

>>115268156
thats retarded as hell.

>>115269265

Too bad it's impossible to keep one in the air in the MP.

so is battlelog supposed to intentionally not show the ping of servers?

>>115271809
Uh, no they don't. Choppers rarely stay in the air for more than a minute or two. Even with flares.

Anti-Air is crazy powerful in BF3. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, goes Engineer, and when you play Engineer, you will ignore the firefight on the ground that you're currently engaged in, for the mere chance to tag an air vehicle. Helis and Jets have huge targets painted on them, and Engies can't help but want to hit that target.

>>115271809

That's the thing though, is that it's skewed in one direction for helis, and the other for the jets.

Granted this is somewhat map specific, but as it stands right now, a jet with flares should never get stinger'ed while doing anything, while a chopper with flares will constantly get stinger'ed unless it's humping every little hill and building, and then a tank just shoots it down.

>>115272022

You're just making blanket generalizations because you have no fucking clue how to adapt to what BF3 has introduced.

>>115272208
Enlighten me then. How does one adapt to 4 dudes with weapons that will turn 180 degrees to hit them all firing on him at once?

>>115272034
there's a substantial delay for reloading flares, so it's easy to shoot down a plane if you fire a missile when it can't deploy flares. given that there are 2 planes max and up to 32 infantry with stingers, this tends to not go well for the plane.

Support here, I fucking hate engineers.

>>115272337
For why? They shoot all their rockets and then you resupply the bejesus out of them and get all the points.

>>115272337
Nah, engibros are great for when you run into tanks, there's a lot of times where it's next to impossible to get close enoughto use c4.

>>115272337
Friendly Engineer here, I fucking hate Supports who don't give me some GOD DAMN AMMO MOTHERFUCKER!

>>115271835

There will be Chinese weps though.

Type 88 sniper and ar, and pistol

>>115272472
>Type 88 Sniper
Unnffff. Love that fucking gun. Can't wait.

>>115272330

Except that flares will break all existing locks and throw the guidance of all missiles in the air off, not to mention that jets can flee to cover much quicker than choppers and/or run out of lock on range.

Also, saying "it easy to shoot missile when plaen no flare" or "32 missile one plane" is like saying it's easy to shoot at people who have no ammo, or stabbing a guy from behind is more effective than from the front; DUH, but that's only applicable in much less probable circumstances.

In almost every situation, a chopper is a much much easier target to stinger than a plane.

medic/nade spammer here, I hate supports with mortars and recon snipers who sit back like retards or go sniping on offense on rush.

>>115271594

>mfw using mortar at B on Grand Bazaar

That place is always crawling with enemies. Points galore!

What they really need to do is make jets more useful when it comes to influencing the ground battle. Currently, they don't do shit other than dogfight with each other endlessly.

>>115272798
They're pretty good vs tanks tough, provided your teammates spot the damned things.

>>115272798
Eh, once you get some unlocks you can tear shit up with the jets as long as people spot. The problem is it's hard to target shit on the ground when you're being chased by enemy jets

>>115272798
>mfw I have air to ground missiles
>mfw it now takes 3 missiles instead of 2
>mfw I dilly dally in the air because I already killed the other jets and theres no tanks around

I hate useless engineers who waste all their ammo on people and then stand around and get fucked by heli's and tanks.

>mfw I join a game and am immediately shown a YOUR TEAM LOST, IDIOT screen

It'd be fine with me if it wasn't a permanent goddamned black mark on my profile. I really hate that the game tracks Win/Loss ratio. Sometimes it's not up to you whether you win or lose. You can play like a hyperbadass, but a shitty team will always drag you down.

>>115272458

A THOUSAND TIMES THIS.

Can't tell you how many times I've followed supports around and asked in chat for ammo with absolutely NO response.

I've had to swap kits so many times in order to get more ammo.

>>115272913
>Grand Bazaar or Op Metro
>Engineer
Every corridor should have a sign that reads "Shoot an RPG down this tube for a free 500 points"

Also, every engie should roll with EXPL. 10 RPG rounds? There is literally no reason not to have that.

>>115268037
that explains why the runway is longer than half the island.

>>115273150

I personally think the explosives perk is hilarious. From like 3 rockets to TEN GODDAMN ROCKETS.

Do they even know what 10 RPG, let alone 10 SMAW rounds look like? That's a HUGE amount of weight to carry around.

>>115273264

'Nother NG here, who else fucking loves the amtrac?

any tips appreciated, i have gtx 570, i7 3.2ghz

Why did they remove the LAV from Operation Metro?

I thought it was just out for the beta because of some clipping issues or something, but now it just doesn't exist at all?

Anyone else notice how similar the American Engineer looks to the BF2 American Spec Ops?

And the Engineer gets the carbines the Spec Ops got, including the M4A1 and G36C.

I hope they add the M68 AimPoint Red Dot Sight attachment when they release Back to Karkand.

Unlocked the bipod and IR scope for the SCAR-H today. Jesus I love this fucking gun, it's fucking ridiculous.

Pfft, I'll stick to my G3 on singleshot thank you very much

I have a question;

If I have unlocked flares and seeker missiles, but my squadmate is the pilot in the helicopter and we change seats, will I still have access to my unlocks?

How do I get good?

>>115273619
works alright till they ramp it off a car and slam into a building freaking everyone the fuck out

>>115273528
Nope, in the Alpha, Attackers on Metro got the LAV for the first stage, then it could be driven down into the leftmost hole into the Metro. It would have to be abandoned after that, though.

Why would you buy a game using Origin? You are the cancer killing the industry.

>>115273702
>COMPETITION IS BAD FOR THE INDUSTRY GUYS IF STEAM DOESNT HAVE 100% OF THE DD MARKET EVERYTHING WILL DIE

Well fuck this shit. Fucking babbies and their cries for jet nerf.

Has anyone else been using thermal optics on vehicles? Shit is cash, no more playing cat and mouse with engineers. Guided shell doesn't seem that great though, though I guess if you've got a recon with the soflam it would be better.

>>115273643
You can have individual customizations for the gunner and pilot seats.

In the customization menu, hit the "Air" tab on a map with helis, and you can mess with them.

>>115273663
Oh, explains all the tracks in the beginning of that map then. I dunnno, maybe cause they're weren't good choke points for it in the first section of the map? It's basically an armored sniper with a giant rocket, with all that free room in the beginning I'd figure the first mcom's were just going down too fast.

>>115273643
As i understand it, whatever perks you select for a particular seat (gunner/pilot) will always apply based on the seat you're in. So yeah, you should have access to your unlocks.

It feels to me as if the helis and jets have been simplified, and I'm having a hard time flying as I'm used to bf2 aircraft.

I hate it.

>>115272635
you will thank me when I drop a mortar smoke shell on your ass on rush.

Can't count how many times I've saved my friends ass with the smoke shell.

>>115273854

Sweet, thanks.

>>115273780
Guided shells are infinitely better with a SOFLAM.

Too bad every Recon is too busy SNIPAN to use their gadgets.

>>115273776

You get 10 times the kills and points by just playing as infantry. Jets are garbage.

>>115273902

Wow, it's fucking nothing.

>>115273904
best damn thing is once you unlock the third seat in the tank, get a laser designator to guide shit for critical hits

>>115273776
I feel you bro.
The best time I've had on this game is grabbing one of those troop choppers, cranking up Flight of the Valkyries and being a good, stable gun platform for my team mates.
Even got two dedicated gunners that followed me as we transported troops to the objectives and covered them from the air.
So good.

>>115273860

They need to balance the aircraft closer to BC2 levels - still killable, but good pilots can dominate the battlefield.

Same support from before here, I've played nothing but support since release because I loved the lmgs in BF2 and BC2. At first it was great, I won very often and unlocked great stuff, but now it's getting kinda stale as other classes unlock their stuff and often defeat me. Also vehicles rape me. The game is getting kinda boring/shitty for me because of that. Am I missing much If I don't use the other classes and stick to support? I'm more the defensive kinda player and love the bipod.

BTW I hate engineers for rocketspamming against infantry like with Carl Gustav in BC.

so who else thinks tanking in this game is way more fun than anything else? in the ~6 hours i've played this game i barely did anything else, except some inf action. played the helicopters a little, was disappointed by the fact that they still are nowhere near as awesome as in BF2.

>>115274069
that's not balance, they work as is so long as armor is moving up effectively, most engineers are going to be sticking to ground targets cause holy balls tanks do not go down in one hit, a competent gunner up top will also wreck everyone's day

Sometimes I feel like I am the only medic on the map, surrounded by support who won't drop ammo.

>>115274092
You are a motherfucker for not going with other classes ever.

It is okay to have a preferred class, but sticking to one at all times is bad form. The team needs to have adaptation to survive. Be whatever your team needs.

>>115274092
Sounds like you just need some regular squad mates more than anything, people you can communicate and coordinate wiht

>>115273981
>And sending it anonymously

Except it doesn't say that at any point in the EULA.
Why would you think it's anonymously?

>>115274247

I know that feel.

Few people play as Assault, probably because there's no real anti-vehicle option and to get it you sacrifice your healing option.

>>115274092
>BTW I hate engineers for rocketspamming against infantry like with Carl Gustav in BC.
Guessing by a bipod you're a typical camper bitch, enjoy getting sniped by rockets.
How about you move your ass around?

>>115274429
Again, just sounds like you need to get some regulars to start playing with

>>115274247
The issue is that players do not play smart, and as a result, die in places where you can't reach them to revive them.

I have had people bitch at me in chat for not reviving them after they ran face first into a hallway with 6 LMG gunners on the other end.

>No Support: The Game

why does no one play support?

>>115274062
Work with your team. Ask if anyone has any laser guided vehicle specializations or if any of your Engineers have Javelins. If they do, ask if they want you to lase targets for them.
If they don't, pull out the MAV and go to town.

Because engineer master race is capable of dealing with everything in this game. Other classes are redundant.

No, I don't mind it.

It means I can be credit to team by playing my favourite class all the time.

It's interesting to note this poll, which doesn't reflect what people actually play as at all.

>>115274500
Because a lot of the maps are CQB based and the LMGs aren't very good at CQB.

If you want Supports in droves, play defense on Rush. There's a bajillion supports there.

What does the heavy calliber do ?
How can you increase the aimed accuracy. I don't understand.

>>115274788
Heavy Barrel? It makes aimed fire more accurate at the cost of higher recoil. You'll shoot straighter, but your aim will jump higher with each shot.

>>115274788

You mean heavy barrel?

Reduces sideways spread, increases muzzle climb.

>>115274788
It increases the range of the weapon, but also increases recoil. Heavy Barrel is good in conjunction with a foregrip or bipod, and a using the single shot setting for the weapon.

>>115274899
Your NG's need to rocket those posts right off the start, then you've got all dat height advantage, along with a jeep, the jeeps are fucking awesome in this game.

>>115274898
>M416

Uhh.. no. Sure, they can't take out vehicles and probably aren't the best at killing at impossibly long ranges, but they will rape you in the ass from the front at any other range.

And if they can't, they'll make it so you can't keep the fucker that can dead long enough for you to run.

>>115274500
No one plays support because it really is a lack of support.
Assault revive people, an important and useful ability.
Engineers repair vehicles and get toys to destroy enemy vehicles
Recon is for sniping, camping faggots

Support has it all. C4 to take out land vehicles, claymores to watch your back when you're using your bipod, mortar to flush out campers/smoke a point out, glorious LMGs and ammo packs. The only thing the support lacks is anti-air weapons, but theres enough engineers to take any jets/helis out.

Seriously, the mortar is awesome. It's got a fucking awesome range and if you know how to use it, it'll get you kills up the ass.

I like how you listed the US with a caveat, but not Europe.

Europe only appeared in Euro Force, a booster pack, and the SAS appeared in Special Forces.

US was one of the 3 main factions from the start.

Have you only played BF2 since the booster packs became free, or something?

>>115275979
>PATCH YOURSELF UP WITH THAT SHIT

I don't even know if that's what they actually yell when you drop medkits, but it seems like kind of a harsh thing to yell to someone when you are helping them with their wounds

Why do SMAWs and RPGs do less damage to a chopper than a stinger/IGLA? If your guided rocket hits, it disables usually, I hit it with my SMAW and it starts smoking a little.

>>115276171
>blaming the game for your shitty aim
>not playing god tier 200 round support

This game has fine hit detection. If I can hit people from 100+ meters with LMGs you should be able to do that too. Or you can stop using shitty carbines to try and kill long range.

>>115276301
>>115276142
>>115276129

Not him but some parts of hardcore are fun imo

I personally like servers that have everything from normal except 3d spotting turned on.

It feels more like 1942/bf2

Pure hardcore servers though are pretty fucking stupid.

>Ress someone as assault.

>>115276309
I personally do hold m1, it's fine if you control the recoil properly. I find it much more effective than bursts

Why is the dialogue about using them offensively only?

>>115276402
Every time I've been hit with and RPG in the chopper I've been killed outright.

I'm pretty sure the RPG has a higher chance of just killing the pilot/gunner

Please make a video killing someone with single shot in Non-HC then I'll admit I can't aim and you're superior. Till then, spew shit from ass.

>>115276554
Yeah, Stingers and such usually hit to the stern, chasing the chopper. At most you're going to disable it.

>>115276638
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJThk6EdXaA

>>115276537

They don't actually have any offensive capability either.

I've tried paddlin' people a few times and it doesn't nothing at all.

>>115276481
I headshot snipe with single shot mode SCAR quite regularly, I think you're just bad at aiming, HC was made for you.

>>115275594
I don't know why they put jets in that map, it's so fucking small that you can't do shit. I flew around for about 5 minutes of having nothing to shoot at and then I just bailed. I'm never touching a jet on that map again.

>>115276346
Ever listen to what they say when they are reviving? Something along the lines of, "FRY MOTHER FUCKER" and "TAKE THIS"

Also, accurate representation of Engineer Rocketfags in BF3.

>>115269600
You never played BF2 did you? Go back and take a look at how far apart the cap points are on say, Dalian Plant.
They aren't more than 200-300 meters apart.
The cap points were more spread out in BF2, but that lead to battles taking place on only a few caps.
Leaving other points completely barren (dragon valley, I'm looking at you).

In BF3, they fixed this by having fewer, more detailed and well-placed cap points.

>>115276638
A single shot or single shot mode?
Single shot mode is the best for killing long range.

>>115276638
Wh... Is this a real post? Are you for serious?

Have you ever seen somebody use the SKS? Or MOD 0?

Those guns are nothing BUT single shot, and they can tear shit up.

>>115276554
Maybe I just hit them in the wrong place then, I've only done it a few times.

>>115276716
>talking about assault rifles

>>115276638
typical tripfag retardism.avi

>>115276809
Yes it is but it takes a while for them to actually die. It's not my aim because 40 fucking hit markers pop up.

If you want to fly but haven't before don't even bother, You won't make even make it to that first rank to get flares since there are so many no life grinders that can take you down in seconds with their arsenal now.

>>115276851

>he can't kill people with single shot

Seriously? That's all I use for long range. AEK specially has almost no recoil, you just tap it and it's super accurate with heavy barrel.

>>115276917
You can drive a jet on the ground and cap a point which scores you enough points to get flares.

>>115276199
Or my personal favorate
"enemy shit fucker in the AO"
"oh did you see that i droped his ass"

>>115276977
That would be fucking hilarious to see.

>landing in the jet

Are you a wizard?

>>115276905
Hitreg works perfectly fine for me. It's even client side which means that YOU are just terrible.

I've had plenty of times in TF2 where I would shoot some faggot in the head and SEE the fucking blood and get no hit.I haven't had that happen to me even once in BF3 yet.

>>115276917

I started flying yesterday and have been doing just fine, don't be so pessimistic.

PS: If you want easy points just kamikaze stuff til you unlock the things you want, either that or try to drive-cap things. Both funny and entertaining.

>>115277054
>oh shit oh shit I'm damaged! better land!
>ok I got this perfectly lined up, time to try and land

>>115274500

>>115277054
You do realize that jets can drive on the ground if you don't pull up right?
>>115277131
>implying the jets do damage
I've landed on tanks and it took 0 damnage

>>115277055
It's not client side. The client can say it's a hit and do the hit animation but only the server can decide if it truly is a hit and calculate damage.

Professional Tip: Play Rush on Caspian. The Frogfoot and A-10 are so much easier to be effective in than the Flankers and Hornets, and There's only one other plane on the map to oppose you. Better odds than 2 dudes.

The A-10's cannon can take out a troop transport in like 3 seconds, netting you like 500 points easy. Instant flare unlock.

>>115277131
Yeah, all you need to do is find maybe a 32/64 server and just practice strafing runs. You'll NEVER find a jet, never mind stay alive, if you're in a full 64-player server.

You guys arguing with the tripfag just have to accept that he's actually this guy
