[PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[Racingblue182]

What platform are you running it on m8? The graphics on the aircraft part of the SP campaign were impressive, but the rest has just been average, imo.

Good, but by no means drenched in wow-factor...

On my newly built PC fella. GTX 560ti, overclocked i5, 8gm ram.

It does surprise me a little that God's Platform is in 2nd place.....

Will be interesting to see what it's like in a few weeks. Strange how the Msoft Bookend is the last of the three? It was top on BC2....

What is it with all this I are be b****cks. Do you talk like that in real life? My nephew speaks like that he is 15....

Aren't sure what you mean bro? Lul.

 

[J0sh]

Why do you have moot as your avatar as well? Serial question.

I think that its estimated time based on your average score per minute with that particular weapon.

Ah. Kinda makes sense.

[Geddes]

[AK]

Just gone and bought a turtle beach x12. Just need to buy an optic audio cable because it's just plugged in the headphone socket of the tv, the sound is awesome though.

 

[AK]

Servers back up now according to their FB.

 

[SharkyUK]

Rofl, if you say so. Three that spring to mind would be; lowest, common & denominator. Some nice console porting, too. id take note...

Yeah, I do say so... a friend gave a recent overview of the technology at an nVidia LAN event. You can see the five-part series on the link below:

http://www.shacknews.com/article/70772/dice-shows-battlefield-series-visual-evolution

I don't think that their technology is held back by console technology at all. Quite the opposite. Of course they cater for consoles, but then you have Medium, High and Ultra settings so that those with moderate and better PC's get the full monty. Looks stunning on Ultra I reckon.

Quite an interesting watch (the 5 videos in the link above) for anyone who cares/has an interest just what goes on per frame in a cutting-edge game boasting some of the latest tech...

 

[iain187]

yea seems ok to me...


i sussed out the problem i had earlier... when you die if you press start to check your score it wont let you spawn, to sort it you have to wait til it will let you back to the pause menu, press resume game THEN it will let you deploy... stupid glitch

 

[iain187]

Tank + no aircraft = so so easy

 

[J0sh]

I got a 42-5 earlier on Theran Rush. No vehicles used what so ever, purely using the M27 IAR.

I've now increased this to 562 metres :clap:

 

[Silent_Scone]

sorry guys

Longest Headshot 733 m

 

[Geddes]

just seen something dodgy, i saw a enemy starting shooting at him then he ran into this jeep, he got out and i starting shooting again all i got was hit markers 2 metres away from me got my pistol out starting using that still now knifed him still nowt 4 or 5 full clips point blanc either it was a hack or a glitch as there was no name in RED or BLUE. i died of this other bloke and then my screen froze all dark in 3rd person view i could use my PSN controls but not in game controls so i had to turn power off from the unit.

Also sorry GMAN for getting your Dog Tags i wanted that other guy was hoping for 2 tags but that other guy next to you noticed you died and i got shot

 

[.Ben.]

The Single Player looks good but FML it's not fun.

Haha! Quit showing off Mark :rasp:

 

[sneeks]

I played this online for the first time last night and as feared I am s**t.

Kills	7
Deaths	15
K/D Ratio	0.467
Kill assists	3
Score/Min	43

Longest Headshot	38 m
Kill Streak Bonus	1
Skill	-57

 

[AK]

That's not bad.

Takes me about 5-6 hours to get decent at any new FPS.

 

[Rhino172]

Popped it in for the first time last night o) mainly just to install the HD stuff, activate the online pass, download my special dog tags, install the update, get my free pistol for joining the gun club.

Joined a game of conquest that was already half way through, 6 deaths and 3 kills then turned it off so I could sign into the battlelog jobbie.

So I'm now on there so feel free to add me into any platoons/freinds list jobs on there - Rhino16v

 

[sneeks]

I had 2 online games last night in order to activate the Battlelog. I must learn to shoot the enemy and not spray bullets all around them. It amazes me how talented I am that not one bullet hits them!

 

[AK]

Lol. Are you playing hardcore or normal, mate?

 

[sneeks]

Lol. Are you playing hardcore or normal, mate?

Normal mode. I have more success shooting people in Campaign mode than I do online.

 

[Rhino172]

Does Aim Assist only work for the campaign or does it effect online as well?

 

[iain187]

I had a look through peoples stats I think the only 1 I'm best at is Accuracy, got a K/D > 1 though too

[sneeks]

I'm sure I will improve the more time I spend playing this game. Last night I jumped out on a opponent, emptied a entire clip of ammo missing him with every shot. He took one shot and I was dead. Super!

I've also got to decide on a online strategy. Last night I experimented with either sneaking around or a balls out method of running at enemy positions. Usually running at them resulted in me running directly into the path of a tank and managing to say Oh s**t before getting blown up.

 

[AK]

Haha. Tanks are a pain.

You should come on when we're all playing mate. Much better with a full squad / team party game.

 

[iain187]

I need to get in on some of that. invite me if you see me playing.

tanks rock

 

[sneeks]

I'll do that. I've just ordered the new Microsoft Wireless & Bluetooth headset via Amazon for £29.99

 

[sneeks]

I've been reading that the sound quality from that headset is crap so I've now cancelled my order. Any recommendations for a good alternative?

 

[tyranical]

FFS!

I just finished the singleplayer, epic story and then the end is just like when you've watched an epic porno and then the cumshot is s**t. A complete letdown!
