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?

do note that Foregrip is good only for hip fire, for ADS (Aim Down Shight) there is a accuracy penalty . so if you are hip firing a lot then use Foregrip + Laser Sight.

BTW Reactive armor is bugged..

there was one more video where the producer (not xfactor) talks about the reactive armor vs heli rockets , I cant find that video.. it got bugged after the new patch.

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

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.

I guess it was a wifi problem as there were lots of other devices connected to it too and once i disconnected them it was fine

@all How is the M16A3/A4 as a gun i seem to like it a lot

My BF3 online is crashing quite often with the following 2 errors

M1A4 is one of the best gun. Almost everyone is a champ with it.

Try to increase your pagefile. That error is due to that reason.

you mean M4A1? :p

M4A1 is the carbine version of M16A3 Assault riffle. M16A3 is full auto M16A4 is has only burst fire.

M4 is the carbine version of M16A4. IMO M4 its the worst gun in the engineer class.

For those who don't know.. Carbine has a shorter barrel than a Assault riffle.

@Saumil996: RAM matters when it comes to loading. on a 4GB RAM it used to take me 4 mins to load a map, with 8GB its like 30 seconds or less.

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion

here's a little tip for anybody who gets stuck on "loading level" and doesn't already know this: the game will begin running in the taskbar even while it's changing statuses like connecting, loading level, etc. once the status is "loading level", just click on the game on the taskbar, it'll open and load, and won't even keep u waiting for long. works for me 100 percent of the times.

Yeah, it's pretty good but I am trying every gun now. It just takes getting a little used to the new gear except for few guns which are overpowered a bit.

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion

MP1st – Battlefield 3: Armored Kill – All Map Names Revealed, More On Gameplay and Level Design
Death Valley, Armored Shield, Bandar Desert and Alborz Mountain
Level design in Armored Kill will obviously differ from that of vanilla Battlefield 3 maps and, especially, Close Quarters maps. “Since you have to cover so much more area, you really have to use vehicles very tactically and squad play very tactically,” mentions Fegraeus. “You have to play defensive, and also, you have to really plan your attack because sometimes.. ‘okay, so we’re going to take that flag,’ and two tanks are guarding it, and that’s not something to take lightly. You need to really plan ahead and be really tactical about your approach:” words of wisdom to take with you as you enter the epic, vehicular-based expansion pack.

Fegraeus was also asked what type of influence the community had in creating this particular expansion pack. As it turns out, quite a lot. “Yeah, we always listen to the community,” he says. “We have lots and lots of feedback coming in and I think one example in Armored Kill, I saw on a forum, one person who actually had an example of what he thought, “you know, this would be an awesome idea for a big map,” and I think he was actually right. I think it was a really good idea. So, one of the maps in Armored Kill is heavily inspired by that. So, that’s just one example.”

Re: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Discussion

lets decide who keeps which squad perks,
1. Squad Explosives
2. Squad Flak
3. Squad Cover
4. Squad Sprint

1. Squad Sprint - Everyone gets faster running and longer running duration
2. Squad Ammo - Everyone gets extra magazines (generally +2 depending on weapon).
3. Squad Flak - Everyone gets more resistance vs. grenades, rockets, etc.
4. Squad Explosives - Everyone carries more rockets, etc.
5. Squad Suppression - Everyone generates more suppression when firing.
6. Squad Cover - Everyone resists suppression more.
7. Squad Frags - Everyone carries more frags, rifle grenades.

Usually i play as support or assault, so if i'm support, no problem for ammo.
So, I'll go with #1 (SQD EXPL).

I play medic + Medpack 80% of the time with Squad Flak as the perk. if my squad members are engaging a tank then I spawn as Engineer.
