[PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[Ray Gin]

What map? Dying to crack 1000m+.

 

[Gavin.]

Just nailed a 1080m snipe although it deducted 1m for some reason so it's now a 1079m headshot for Geordie ;-)

Balls, I was only 2m behind you! Best get on it again

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Gulf of oman but you need someone to bail out the chopper or jet and land on the construction site because you cant use the MAV anymore so they hardly get up there.

 

[imprezaworks]

Havent played for a couple of days. Is there an update to do when i go on later? Only ask as it seems to take forever to do with my ghey connection

 

[Gavin.]

Not for the Xbox yet, only ps3

 

[Christopher]

What size is the patch?

 

[Gavin.]

1080mb on ps3 and you have to dowload back to karkand again at 1320mb.

Im sure I read that all platforms will have to re-download back to karkand. Although I may be wrong.

 

[Ray Gin]

The fall damage still isn't correct and not all MAVs explode when you kill someone with it.

 

[Gavin.]

On this afternoon Liam?

 

[Scutch]

Wow. They've included "paid" shortcuts like they did with BC2. So you can pay for the best weapons etc. if you're new to the game and can't be bothered waiting to unlock them.

Didn't think they'd go down this route but money is money I guess.

Rumours that the PC and 360 patch will be delayed even further now. It was supposed to be tomorrow but now that's not guaranteed.

Most of the weapons and add-ons have changed since the patch anyway, according to a couple of mates on PS3. The USAS isn't as awesome, the Famas has far more recoil and the foregrip is pretty useless at anything further than mid-range.

 

[AK]

Good. That USAS was ridic.

 

[timuss]

God that update took ages to download!!

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

USAS is still lethal chaps! Been killed by it a lot! The paid short cuts annoy me tbh! I unlocked all my kits, weapons and vehicle unlocks without them .. took aaaaaaaggges to get attack chopper ones and then they release it so level 1 noobs can troll around with everything!! Neve rmind... they still lack experience!

Wish they would change the control on the TV guided missile though! its so slow!

 

[Kris86]

PC is updating now according to battlelog. Cant wait for everyone to be using the as val with extended mags, not. That will be the weapon of the month i reckon.

My longest headshot is just over 1900m on firestorm

 

[.Adam.]

Played this for the first time in literally weeks last night, and probably played the best I ever have!

Was a gunner in one of the choppers on Wake Island, and reined hell on the other team.

 

[Scutch]

Any news on the 360 patch yet?

 

[Christopher]

Early next week apparently.

 

[Scutch]

FFSnake. PS3 w*****s.

 

[AK]

FFSnake. PS3 w*****s.

+1.

 

[Gavin.]

1134m Headshot on Gulf of Oman last night

 

[.Adam.]

How the f**k do people get that sort of range!

 

[Gavin.]

I was on the aircraft carrier shooting at a guy on the tower block to the far right. A tiny bit over 2 clicks, it took me a fair few shots though.

 

[.Adam.]

Do you have the 12x zoom or whatever it is?

 

[Gavin.]

Yea that's the one, they are still just a dot on the screen though. You have to aim at the spot marker.

 

[.Adam.]

Ah, you're playing on barbie mode with spot markers.

 

[Christopher]

lol.

 

[Gavin.]

Lol @ barbie mode

 

[imprezaworks]

So the 360 patch is next week then? Only ask as a few of us are doing a drunken Xbox night on sat.

 

[AK]

Doesn't mean you can't play it.

 

[Ray Gin]

How did my 1130m headshot taste Geordie? :rasp:

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Not as good as my 1137m one ... Grasshopper.. Can't beat your master ;-)

 

[Ray Gin]

You went invisible when you were laying down lol....good job I had my shot lined up beforehand.

I know 1350m ish is possible on that map, I need to hit it.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Was my fault really, seen you climbing crane as I was starting to type message to Scotty saying its 2clicks for a headshot. Thought I had time tbh! Firestorm is the map tbh for long range on CQ!

 

[Spiezels]

Do you 2 line up and just shoot at each other to get the long shots?

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Nope, he got thrown on the other team when we joined a game.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Patch is alright, stingers are more effective now due to the lock on staying. Not really noticed much else. More rubble maybe on PC. doubtful on xbox. HHhhhhhrrghn

 

[Christopher]

Patch for the 360 will be up at 12pm EST, so 5pm GMT.
