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

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion

^in Pingtest.net - The Global Broadband Quality Test site, select a Asian server (Malaysia, Singapore) & test.

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion

@s18000rpm - i really appreciate u being so helpful
i had already done that, the ping i'm getting on Asian servers is almost the same as Mumbai server. that's why i posted a screenshot of my server browser with region filter set to the Asian countries Hong Kong and Singapore. there too i'm unable to find good servers. that's why i asked for help

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion

^from pingtest, i get 130-150ms ping to Malaysia & Singapore, battlelog shows the same, sometimes pings dont show up, at that time you need to refresh the page till pings show, if they are high; 180+, then restart the modem.

btw, didint notice your laptop , i have the same laptop with gt540m , i get min. fps of 30 in bf3
i upgraded the RAM to 8GB recently, it has made BF3 & other games perform really good, + less load on HDD now, when i had 4GB ram, if i alt-tab bf3 to opera, it would require some time for HDD light to start blinking (it would just stay ON), but now HDD LED doesnt even blink when alt-tab'n, thanks to RAM

1. while playing, check the pings in score card ('Tab' key).
2. is anyone else using the wifi connection while you play?
3. is the HDD LED blinking erratically while playing - if yes, then update PunkBuster
PunkBuster Online Countermeasures

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion

@s18000rpm - the ping situation has improved since the first day. now i can find several servers with pings below 200. still none at par with my internet connection ping, but at least i'm able to play!
i also have decided to upgrade my RAM to 8GB, which i'll do in a couple of months. my laptop is relatively new (been a month), so i'll wait a little before investing on it further.

i have a question regarding the game. as one levels up, does he get better weapons? because so many times it has happened that i'll be face to face with an enemy, i'd shoot at him, he'd shoot at me, and i'd die! i'm not bad at aiming, get headshot bonuses all the time, also i take burst shooting into consideration, still this happens. so is this because the enemy (who is mostly much higher ranked than me) has a more advanced weapon with deadlier bullets?

the base weapons are the most versatile and almost the best weapons in the game all weapons have =ves/-ves and are mostly balanced. sometimes it may be the weapons like if you have an AK74m and the other guy has an AEK(fast rate of fire), he has advantage in close encounters. sometimes lag plays spoilsport. burst fire may not help you when in close situation where time is important. your accuracy will be low for a second when you run-stop-fire.. so dont always be running esp towards engagement zones. scoping in takes time, so in close encounters it's better to hip fire (laser attachment will increase accuracy while hip firing)

btw there are so many things that decide who gets killed in a standoff like suppression etc. all these nuances can be picked up slowly as you put in more hours into the game.

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion

attach these to your guns (when unlocked)
HOLO or KOBRA (scope) - for extremely fast aiming
Foregrip - more stability = better hits
Heavy Barrel (more range) in open maps, Suppressor (you location not given away) in close rounds or maps.
btw, its good to start as Assault (which you have) & Engy.
----------------------------------------
for three straight days, I havent used a gun, just tank
sometimes vs other tank, my 'reactive armor' is intact but still the tank gets 'disabled', does the turret take damage?

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion

I prefer a Holo and no other attachments. Works like a charm. Use extended magazines only for weapons with short magazines.

Best weapon for close encounters are PDWs, notably F2000 and P90 (one can get more than 2 kills with that easily). Spare the last strike for a quick swipe with knife.

It can a server problem too. Try other servers.
