How to Melee Kill in battlefield 3 using a Xbox 360 Controller on PC

Finally figured out how to melee kill using controller :D this is what works for me.

Q: How to Melee Kill in battlefield 3 using a Xbox 360 Controller on PC
A: Hold Right Bumper (RB) to select Knife, hit the Right Trigger(RT) near the enemy. This will cause Melee kill ..

A: Go behind the enemy and hit Right Bumper(RB).

No wonder I have only two kills till now :p

EDIT: Tapping the Right Bumper does take out the knife, but I have never achieved a Melee kill that way.

Eh , not for me. I played BF3 last night (after a long duration..explained below), my pings were pretty normal.

I managed to (FINALLY) update the game using the manual patch method (skip to end of post). Origin kept pushing me back a few GB each time I shutdown the PC and restarted (Several users had this issue).

For instance, I would d/l till 3.4 GB and then shutdown the pc. On the next restart, Origin would resume from 2.2 GB :O , and in one instance it actually started from 144 MB :\ . Well, this **** continued for quite some time, until I finally managed to find a user who had hosted the entire patch on his private server. Used his instructions to do a manual update.

EA should really fix Origin, it's a broken piece of s**t.

For those with trouble updating using Origin , here's the godsend :

^^ yep, it's removed :

On direct request from Bioware.

I have been requested to remove the content relating to their game. I did state initially I would always remove this content if requested directly.

Apologies to all the people who rely on me to provide patch updates manually. However you will now be forced to deal with the Customer Support and Bioware technical support for your patching woes.

I would rather not have any legal ramifications to my work and support of the Bioware product.

Kind Regards,

Holeh! Anyway, It's been like 4 months, my pre'd copy of BF3 is sittin' idle. I haven't even opened the cover of it, of course I couldn't 'cause I was far away from my beloved. But since I've pre'd it, I must have B2K, rite? There'll no "0H SH1Z!" moments when I try to enable B2K? I mean, I haven't activated my copy of BF3 for 4 months...... you know, the key might have vanished or somethin' like that. It's totally fine, ye?

I use M16 in big maps and F2000 in close quarters for assault.Famas is also decent for mid range fighting.Red dot scope and foregrip on all of them.

M4A1 and G36C for engineer.
L96 for sniper
M249 for Support

I am only satisfied with my assault combinations though, still experimenting with other classes in the little time I give to them.Maybe because I am flying a jet or driving a tank all the time :p

Or doing what you used to have stated under "interests" in your profile.
