Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion
Very happy with the squad
.. Gunner and s18 we usually get Ace Squad a couple of times in a day .. yesterday was not too great.. we did manage some wins but most of the time the opposite team was too good for us.
okay.. tried to fly a heli in a empty server.. I was ok with the maneuvering, but it was a empty server.. dono what will happen when others are engaged in battle :s
couple of things I want to know. ( I use Xbox 360 controller )
1. hovering.
2. initial lift/speed is low is it like this or should I use sprint?
when engaging a tank/infantry, should I hover or engage while moving?? it will take a lot of time to get used to it.
I did manage to maneuver on roads in kargh island and pretty much ok with it.. now for the real battle .. I hope the other pilot is not LVL100

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion
To hover, just pull the stick back slightly and level the nose when you come to a halt. Make sure you are not too close to the ground while hovering.
I think the chopper flies faster if it is closer to the ground.
Definitely keep moving, with a competent gunner you can eliminate targets quickly. The biggest threat is not the enemy chopper but a tank putting a shell through your chopper, so fly at a decent height while engaging targets. Also stay away from the enemy base if their AA is active.

@RCuber
there is no sprint in helis. btw refer to my post about helis in the other forum Battlefield 3 - Discussion Thread - Page 139
the thumb rule is:
flying jets = understand velocity
flying choppers = understand momentum.

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion
a small pictorial for BF3 SERVER FILTER SETTINGS for newbies
Step 1 : Test your PINGS to various region/countries. Use Pingtest.net - The Global Broadband Quality Test for that.
Step 2 : Set that country in "Region" filter, now you'll get severs with best ping.
*i.imgur.com/GX9cy.jpg
Tip: 1. Click the "Ping" tab to sort the pings (low to high)
2. Try the other filters, if you want to play Conquest ONLY, then 'check' the Conquest option.

Both get an attack chopper each in Sharqi CQ, however it doesn't spawn for RU if the TV station is lost.
Attackers get Scout chopper in Sharqi Rush.

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion
i received BF3 as a gift yesterday evening. the update, the HUGE update, of 5118.85MB took me exactly 6 hours (2mbps broadband connection), it was totally hassle-free, i paused it once and it resumed without trouble. i was anxious about this part but it was all smooth.
now some help please! the multiplayer part is kinda confusing. i used the quick match feature, and i think i experienced what people here refer to as lag (sorry, first time playing MP), i kept shooting at a guy, he didn't die, then he shot me once and i died
i went to "browse servers" and another match i joined, same thing happened 
i managed to kill a guy though! 
on the servers page, every match i saw had ping over 200! i don't think this is due to my internet connection because according to pingtest.net my ping is 81ms.
so i'll be really grateful if someone can please guide me how to recognize a good lag-free match, and how to look for one. thanks a lot.

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion
^^^ just a few posts back s18000rpm posted an image explaining 'server browser' settings. btw tell where do you live what is your ISP and post your id here.
check these servers *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/gamerz/156391-battlefield-3-multiplayer-discussion-17.html#post1692049 and *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/article-drafts/157309-draft-battlefield-3-low-latency-servers-list.html. BF3 is very good in the range of 30ms to 120ms ping. and is very much playable till 200ms ping. and pingtest.net pings your nearby server only.
the game has a steep learning curve esp for a player new to online games. so do prepare to brace the brutal battle
and btw this will help you The Christmas noob's resource guide : battlefield3
