Battlefield 3 Discussion Thread

Holy crap. I didn't even know those options did anything. I swear I tried all the console commands. Oh well, deleting the files and using their user.cfg FPS is > 30 for the most part at 1080p. Looks phenomenal now. WOO HOO! Thanks R3D +1.

 

did you guys know you have airbreak , light break and hover buttons to tweak ?

 

More nerfing on the way
MP1st – Incoming Battlefield 3 Updates – Red Dot/Holo Fix, M320 Tweak, and Javelin Nerf

 

They should stop nerfing and start fixing the game instead, and their first priority should be the (censored) cheating!

Listening too much to the community can also kill off a game, just saying.

 

Uhh way to nerf the frag rounds again ... It was already pretty difficult to get a direct shot in the first place in order to get 1 hit kill. I found it still 3 hit kill with 3 sec delay for it for me against a single person instead of before I could take down 4 blind people.

Nerf the AA effectiveness against air?

Why nerf the M320? The only map that I found really really effective was Metro and in TDM .

Not so much use in conquest mode in other maps beside the smoke.

 

They want to change the game from Battlefield 3 to Bad Company 3...

 

That boat sailed a long time ago... imo.

 

Note to self: Don't try to knife someone while they are in the process of knifing someone ><

 

LOL. Also, don't try to knife an engineer when they're targeting with a javelin. Tried like three times in a row and nothing. Just ended up shooting him in the head with a G18.

So I see MW3 has the same issues as BF3. I actually wish BF3 had a kill cam, because then I could at least see from their perspective when I get shot from an impossible vantage point.

Earlier today I was playing Karkand. I was prone on hill. Somehow the dude at the top of the hill, he was on a flat surface a good distance away, yet he was still able to shoot me. I couldn't see him at all, not sure how he could see me let alone shoot me.

 

I think I know what spot you are trying to say.

Odds of it, he went slightly out of the map. Enough to snipe out but no one can counter back in.

 

So many bugs and issues with the game but the thing that bothers me the most is the LACK of teamwork and in-game VOIP. Most games people are just lonewolfing. I get bored very quickly.

 

^ hopefully they'll do something about the VoIP in the upcoming patch in february. a workaround is to use TeamSpeak client and play on TeamSync-enabled servers.

 

I think we're all aware of third party VOIP, but it doesn't address the fact that if you jump on a server you should be able to communicate with your squad and team.

 

If they add a in game VOIP, I hope they add an option to turn it off. The last thing I want to hear while playing is a bunch of kids calling each other noobs all day.

 

Mute button / option would be fine. I honestly would like a better Commo-rose though, which would suffice as opposed to VOIP. Although VOIP you can easily call out enemy locations after you've been shot instead of just watching your squad/teammates die as you fervently try to type.

 

Every game that has had VOIP in my experience also had an option/slider to mute it. So that should be the least of your concerns. I just believe there should be a better way to communicate with your team than just text. People give more weight to audible communication versus textual communication which requires you to stop playing and type. It's useless on a fast moving battlefield.

 

Not only type, but getting them to actually READ. I ignore the chat box during intense firefights, but someone yelling at me enemy to your left I'm going to take notice.

 

i meant no offense. i was not aware of this third-party solution until i read about it in another forum, so i thought maybe i should share it.

 

This game is so flawed! I was going for my last assignment, 5 DPV jeep kills. I had two, needed three more. Well I got on a Wake Island map and someone else was driving the jeep, I mowed down five guys as gunner and it only gave me two DPV kills on the assignment.

 

Just don't give up, it's not American.

 

Never give up, never surrender!

?? ... I looked at your account. You got 7 dpv kills.

You should have it unlocked by now.

 

Meh, guess I just have to work harder, lol. I've also had the game not give me kills when it says "enemy killed 100". I don't know how often because I don't always keep track, but sometimes you know you checked it a second before the kill, then after, and still same number of kills.

 

I have just been disconnected from about every game I played so far with "You have been disconnected from EA Online (1)" $)%@#$%#$@%

 

try this m8 http://forum.notebookreview.com/8209456-post4554.html

 

The scoreboard doesn't update until after you hit tab.

It is an optimization issue that might take awhile to update.

-------------------------------------------
Yeah, the game has the most weirdest and double standard network handling.

I can't believe they still haven't supported NAT, out of the box.

 

A treat for the BF2 vets.

Had a pretty funny altercation with another playing on Metro.

*We're pushing B, I'm on the 2nd floor firing RPGs down the locker corridor, getting many kills*

Random QQer- "Wow dude L2usearealgun lol"

Me- "Okay"

*Switches to m320 and resumes dominating the lockers*

Random QQer- " not another m320 nooobbb dude you suck!!!"

Me- "Okay"

*Switches to support and plants a claymore around a corner. Random QQer eventually builds up the courage to sprint down the hall, turns that corner, and dies*

Random QQer- "WOW *#@$#$ HATE CLAYMORE DUDDE L2USE GUNS NOOB OMG!"

He eventually leaves. Good times.

 

The russian voices sounded wierd, but having the chinese voices from the actual BF2 intro would make it wierder. :3
BF2 forever!, but BF3 can still make it if they just kept out the cheaters.

Hahahaha.
He knew what was comming anyways, since every Metro fight ends up like that if the US team doesent coordinate the attack properly.

 

When I first saw the trailer, I was excited that we could drag players to safety but it was only in the campaign and in a linear way. It would have been fun if it was in the MP too so that people could drag fallen soldiers to safety and revive them instead of reviving them infront of gunfire and grenades. Its just some extra kills and extra revive points.

 

I agree lol but yeah the chinese voices would be totally odd...Great remake though!

 

Sniff, sniff. Makes me miss the "good ol' days." :cry:

Especially after watching this:

Dammit DICEA. As much as I've had fun with BF3, there was so much that was better, more fun about BF2.

 

You know, it makes me more sad when my computer couldn't run BF2 with its Nvidia Geforce 440 MX 64MB VRAM, back in the day. But whenever I get the chance to play BF2 at a friends', I TAKE that chance.

 

I was even more sad back when BF2 couldn't run on a Nvidia Geforce 4600Ti 128MB.

I ended up playing it on a Geforce FX Go 5200 64MB for like a year till I got myself a 7600GT.

I miss the fun times in BF2 where stats didn't mean much and the map was easier to see.

 

im in tears right now, it was so epic.

and they need to make an in game film capture thing like in halo 3

 

I wonder what so big in the upcoming announcement today?

WOOOO please be dino mode with new map pack... lol

 

So in addition to not being able to knife someone while they're knifing your teammate, or while they're using a javelin, you can't knife someone while they're using mortars.

Also, has anyone been able to knife someone from the front? The other day I was face to face (2 inches apart ^^ ) from the guy, swung my knife, but didn't get the animation (just the "hit" symbol, I wonder how much damage it actually did).

 

Knifing from the front is not supposed to be an instant kill, thank god. It takes either two or three swipes to do enough damage to kill, I forget which. Knifing is only an instant assassination from behind. You also don't get dog tags for frontal knifing.

 

I'm able to knife people that are using mortars just fine.

Also, I'm able to trigger knife animation on people from the front side of them but not directly in front of them. Way too hard to trigger in front of them without getting blasted away.

Without the animation, you deal very little damage unless it was a headshot.

There's a visual cue that you can be really be sure that you trigger the knife animation.

 

Care to enlighten us?

 

The knife tilts from the regular position when you're in execution range.

So far ...
Only the Server side Fix posted
--------------------------------------

They "fixed" the black loading screen after the map rotation

Also, which a player stuck in black loading screen can also crash the server if that player stay stuck in loading screen for a long time.

Now it just kicks you out if you happen to stuck in that state for far too long as a preventive measure.


Extended Ban list sizes.

 

I came through a guy who was aimbotting in a weird way.
He was throwing ammo box to kill everyone.
Take a look at this guy.
Battle Report - Battlelog / Battlefield 3

Level 33 in 1.3 hrs.

 

That remade intro was nice to watch. Chuckled at the "artillery" haha

 

You can kill someone with an ammo box? LOL I love that!

 

You can be also killed by radio beacons, med kits, tugs, mortar smokes, m320 smokes

 

Yeah, I just got off a map with someone killing me with the radio beacon, He got me like three times before I could get FRAPS up and start recording.

Name is [Iam]JustBetterThanU. Kinda funny name but complete idiot. Here's three kills against me before he got banned from the server, and hopefully from the game for good.

I think one issue is once people get all the unlocks they get bored and have nothing to lose so they just go out and hack and don't care if they get banned.
