[PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[Scutch]

That's interesting. I'm enjoying them more than BC2, lol.

Yes, the maps are better, but the mechanics and fun factor is more on BC2. I never got bored or frustrated with BC2. The match making on BF3 is mental. Being pitted against guys who have clearly been born in Oman or Siene in-game is very unfair. I don't even recognise their rank medal, it's that high.

Saying that, I've hardly played this one yet and Skyrim has f*cked my gaming life up. It'll take a while to settle back in :clown:

Thats too true Scutch, one game you can be totally dominating and the other you can be getting owned. There's never any "middle ground" even games. Wait until you come across a full team of USAS 12ers with frag ammo! :dead: impossible to play against lol

 

[.Adam.]

I need a bigger tv!

Was killing it on my mates 50".

Couldn't do s**t tonight. 19" and only 720 just don't cut it.

May spunk £200 and get a 20" 1080 if I can. Purely for this game... Ffsnake!

Did you realise I was in a game with you for a while last night?

 

[Spiezels]

Did you realise I was in a game with you for a while last night?

Yeah, we got each other a few times too. Pretty sure you got me more though.

I hate being s**t!

AK I could never get a 32" rooms too small and I need the portability.

22" is prob my max. Looking at 19/20" really.

More so as an upgrade as my current one is old and only 720.

Yea I got you a few times, but every time I died it seemed that it was you that killed me lol!

I really like Wake Island, that was only the second or third time i've played it since owning the game, and really enjoyed it.

 

[Clart]

I think wake island is the best map tbh.

 

[Spiezels]

Aye that was the first time i'd played me too. Really like the new ones.

Be on tonight about 8.30

 

[.Adam.]

Cool, I should be on again tonight but won't be until about 10ish as have football first.

 

[Scott™]

Gulf of Oman what a f**king epic map.

 

[Scutch]

Gulf of Oman what a f**king epic map.

Yeah that is pretty neat.

 

[Marc.]

If you xBox guys are on, I might jump on with you lot, I've noticed a lot of you have been on BF3, but I've been on B/Ops or Skyrim...Need to carry on with BF3!

 

[Scott™]

995m Head shot. Epic. He was a spec on the screen lol!

 

[.Adam.]

995m Head shot. Epic. He was a spec on the screen lol!

What gun are you using for that mate?

 

[Scott™]

What gun are you using for that mate?

SV98 mate. On Firestorm.

 

[.Adam.]

Nice one. I am hopeless with the sniper rifles.

 

[Scott™]

Yea I wasn't great. Practice makes perfect mate.

 

[.Adam.]

I will have a go tonight and see how I do.

 

[Ray Gin]

Impressive! Highest on CS surely?

Still getting use to the bullet drop above 700m. My highest is 750m.

 

[.Adam.]

As I have barely used the Scout class, is the standard sniper rifle actually any good?

And can things like scopes with more zoom be unlocked?

/noob.

 

[Gavin.]

995m Head shot. Epic. He was a spec on the screen lol!

Nice! I managed a 962m on caspian border the other day with the M98b

 

[Dunc.]

Does anyone play on PS3?

I've never really played it but thinking of getting into it now.

Should I get this map pack you are speaking about?

 

[Gavin.]

Fair few of us do mate, we just had a retirement too so we need replacements lol

 

[ChrisR]

I'm a Billy no mates on ps3

 

[James28]

The standard recon rifle is actually quite good with no scope on it.

 

[Gavin.]

I'm a Billy no mates on ps3

Get me added, I'm on most nights.

 

[Dredz06]

all you ps3'ers playing alone feel free to add me and Gman we are on most evenings!

 

[Gavin.]

Agreed

 

[Pearcy]

I can't get to grips with this s**t, aiming the gun feels terrible, i spawn in different points with no idea where i am, my guns keep changing, i can't find any vehicles... You need 3 shots at someone with a sniper rifle ffs.

 

[AK]

Play hardcore.

I don't see why anyone doesn't. You even get a map on this hardcore.

 

[Silent_Scone]

HC damage with normal prefs = win


HC only really worked properly on BF2.

 

[Scutch]

Play hardcore.

I don't see why anyone doesn't. You even get a map on this hardcore.

It's hardly even hardcore, TBF. On BC2 you didn't get a map, you didn't get a stupid little kill cam of the culprit and it took less shots to die or kill someone. This one seems like normal mode but slightly harder to stay alive. Get rid of that map and kill cam.

Played SDM last night with Spiezels. Tried to enter the same team as Gally but got put on the opposing team. Meh. Was the first time I've played Death Match and it was pretty good. Bloody hectic though. Instant random respawns are good too.

 

[.Adam.]

So I tried the sniper rifle for a little bit last night. I found it massively difficult to actually kill anyone. I was hitting guys 2/3 times, for them just to run away and not die. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[Scutch]

No. The first gun on Sniper rank is very poor.

 

[imprezaworks]

Getting more in to this, if i break even im doing well lol. Best headshot, 400metres. Great game tbf

 

[Spiezels]

Anyone wanna do coop tonight I want the G3!

Be on about 7.

 

[.Adam.]

I should be on this tonight mate, might not be until a bit later on though, like half 8/9.

 

[Spiezels]

Sound well a few of us should be on by then

 

[.Adam.]

Nice one. Hopefully we can all get in a game together.

 

[Scott™]

I haven't played with you boys yet! Fancy a goosey gander tonight! Hit me up! And Adam, the first sniper rifle is s**t! Just go for head shots tbh!

 

[.Adam.]

That's what I was trying, but I can never get my crosshairs to sit still, even when holding breath lol.

I'll add you tonight Scott and you can show me how it's done
