Battlefield 3 Discussion Thread

I get that alot too now, especially when i shoot my M320 then die the instant it fires off, then I get to kill the guy that killed me. XP

 

I haven't really figured out a way to detect macros beside using a fixed value which is a rather retarded solution.
The best one so far I believe was making the weapon have a cooldown for each shot, which drive people insane.

So, it wasn't just me

I posted issues about that a couple of weeks ago.

 

Am I the only one to find it ironic that PS3 users get to see this first?

 

LOL, such hypocrites.

 

Not much you can do when you get EA'd.

 

Speaking of which:

Back in COD4 I made a macro with my G15 to make semi auto guns fire basically full auto, because unlike in BF3 you could fire pretty much as fast as you could click. Basically I went around with the M82 semi auto 50 caliber sniper rifle and dumped the entire 10 round clip in under a second. I usually didn't hit anything, but when I did get a kill and people saw the killcam they were like "...?"

In BF3 macros don't really help much, since the guns have maximum semi auto fire rates.

 

And makes pistols useless.
But at least it adds to the humiliation to be killed with a pistol. xD

Hehe, back when I played COD4, I assigned the fire button to my mouse wheel. Great for semi, not so much when I'm trying to sneak up behind someone and melee.

 

Less forum posting more jet practicing!

Also macros are for noobs!!!!!!!

 

Are you saying pistols in BF3 are useless? If so this is not true; I have over 370 kills with the .44 magnum and I basically use it as a primary weapon. It has a ridiculously slow fire rate and only 6 rounds, but does a TON of damage. It does take a lot of practice to actually get kills with it though.

 

There is a difference between a pistol and the most epic handgun ever to grace Battlefield 3.
.44 Magnum pretty much blows the head off anyone.

 

I prefer to to make swiss cheese out of my victims, Robocop style, with the M93R. How cool it would be if the model could be replaced with this

 

Is that a modded M93R??? Damn straight son!

 

That sounds like you've just played a certain amount of time, but it doesn't really signify whether the pistols are any good.

 

Even the M93R is limited on its fire rate.
But yeah if they replaced it RoboCop style i would always take it.

EA should hire RoboCop to track down the cheaters. xD

 

DEagleson

What res and setting do you runn the BF3 on?

Takk på forhånd-

 

Haha, that would be a great addition. In game you see robocop walking around, no hindrance to anyone. But if a cheater is detected, Robocop hunts them down and takes them out. "Robocop destroyed and permanently eliminated /loser/ for using an aimbot".

 

I actually just made a FRAPS recording yesterday.
Its uploaded to YouTube now. :3

[1080p] PERFORMANCE VIDEO - Battlefield 3: Semper Fidelis, AMD Radeon HD 6970m

But on multiplayer i use either medium or low preset depending on my mood, and i get stable 60fps with VSync on.

 

That would be sweet

This video has so much win.

I just love it when a plan comes together.

 

I agree, most win i ever seen with a RPG.
Now this is a proper n00btube.

 

LOL. Excellent!

I'm surprised he didn't get a "return to battlefield" message (or whatever the out of bounds message is) when he ejected. Usually if I'm in the air I get that message if I bail until I get below a certain altitude.

(Reminds me of one thing that bugs me about the jet (among many) is the attitude indicator only goes to 45 degrees, not 90...)

 

He is within bound of the main map.

If a mav can fly that high, he can eject without the warning.
Kinda stupid that the mav is limited to ground map border.

 

Hmm, because on several occasions I've ejected at altitude and said I was out of bounds, with the timer until I got below a certain altitude, then I was good. Even died once because I ejected and chuted too high.

In any case awesome vid. I've ejected accidentally from a chopper on several occasions (damn 'R' key right next to 'E') and successfully re-entered the chopper, lol. It's kinda like Wile E. Coyote Super Genius hovering above the ground for ten seconds before he falls. Reminds me I gotta watch the A-team movie again. I saw it in theaters and quite enjoyed it. Will have to watch it on Blu-Ray.

 

Back to Karkand review from IGN

Back to Karkand Revitalizes Familiar Roads - PlayStation 3 Feature at IGN

 

I played Wake Island on my brother's ps3. I have to say, it's very much like all the other versions of Wake Islands since '42. Pretty much, everything is left the same except for a "mini" hanger in the middle of the map, and I'm not talking about the jet hangar.

 

I guess he was within bounds, I too get that message when I go eject too high.

 

You get that message if you eject while above the stall ceiling.

I hate that different maps have different ceilings.

Some I understand why .. ie prevent parachuting on some maps.
And some I simply don't get.


BTW ... Light poles are getting nerfed. Darn things killed me more than stingers.

One thing I don't get. Why do you lose control completely when you hit the ceiling? Why doesn't the jet actually stall, nose down, and recover?

 

Finally! Woot!

Yeah those indestructible light poles and towers are annoying. Sure it should damage me a bit, but let it break too and not destroy me.

 

BF3 vs. MW3... votes are IN.

Everything was on the Battlefield side except the sales.
A lot of MW3 fanboys out there.

 

So I'm noticing tons of people that don't even join squads. Like 1/3 of a 32 man team. You have to manually join a squad and many guys just don't care to. Is this a server issue or what?

 

Server R12 patch next Tuesday confirmed!

BF3 PC Server R12 is - Forums - Battlelog / Battlefield 3

Changelog
* General crashfixes
* Fixed problem where kits would remain on the level for a long time (>10 minutes); this would eventually make the server keel over
* The Back to Karkand maps are included


Notice that there are two variations on the Conquest gamemode. The differences are mainly to do with the flags. You will see a "#2" after the map name for a server that runs the second Conquest variation.

Game servers can mix and match B2K and non-B2K maps. Players who have not purchased B2K will be warned if they attempt to join a server with B2K maps in the rotation. Quickmatch will not send those players to servers with B2K maps in the rotation either. The guiding principle here is: if possible, avoid having people get kicked from servers.

 

^^ I thought B2K was already included in that 4gb patch.

 

These are server side patches which will allows admins to add Karkand maps into the rotation.

 

Just love people's creativity:

EDIT: NVM, the youtube video I wanted to post might be against rules.

 

Just had my best match yet.

Battle Report - Battlelog / Battlefield 3

 

added you on battlelog valkerie, names wailofbanshee

 

Gotcha man.

 

Congratulations.

My best run. :3

 

Yeah, I've got a ways to go still.

 

I don't even know what my best is. I did go at least two rounds without dying, but only had like 13 or 15 kills or something like that, but MVP.

 

My best run Did that a couple of days ago.

 

Better sharper custom FXAA injector! - Electronic Arts UK Community

seems like a interesting thread for those annoyed with the color grading of BF3

 

Notice i did play with fewer players than you, and it was Rush.
Combine that with pure luck and INRV.

YEAH!!!, thats right it does make you nearly unstoppable when used correctly.
Glad they nerfed it.

 

i've read in that thread that PB has kicked some people out because of the dll injector. i don't know if they were using other things besides the FXAA injector or not.

 

The bullet spread seems so much more wider and random now. I tend to switch weapons a lot to unlock all the gadgets. The P90 looked like a fun gun, but any time I'd shoot someone even 20m away, I'd see the bullets go every direction but straight. I'd unload with sights on someone, run out of bullets, then they'd shoot me dead in no time flat. My G18 seems to have better accuracy at distance than that stupid P90.

 

Ok many thanks
