The Official Battlefield 3 Thread

Am i the only one who encounters a bug where your trying to disarm the objective and the wheel keeps getting reset even though your holding down the E or “use” button the whole time?

And the little radio box wins/loses games imo.

oh and how come you cant prime nades =(

Shotgun in the subway station is just too awesome. The game is tight, can’t wait for the full game to come out.

^this. If you’re not enjoying the 870, you’re doing it wrong.

You can cook grenades, but you have to select it as currently handled weapon, or kb button 5 for default, I believe. Having to select it as a handled weapon forces you to strategically select it, as it obviously leaves you open for two to the chest.

Thanks for all the work guys and actually reporting stuff to dice :smiley:

any Ak-47s? how are they?

Yup.

  • Playing a GTX580 on an i7 2600K and old ass Phenom II x4 965 has like 1-2 frame difference (ignorable since my real-life gameplay is not consistent throughout)
  • Even stock HD5770 is playable on HIGH at around ~28-34 fps in Metro.

Caspian was glorious, too bad I couldnt stay long enough for a screencap/videocap (too busy playing).

The right click/down view bug is annoying. lol It always happens when I need it the most.

I’m gonna overclock my gpu. I’m having to scale down the res to 12x7 in order to play at 60fps on my card on med-high settings.

There has got to be a better way to design the menu. Menus just seem so unintuitive for gamepads. I shouldn’t need a freaking FAQ to know how the game menus work, it’s like they tried to simply the many options but instead they’ve just over complicated it. Game still feels like it designed for the PC, but at least they sorted out character movement.

So they patched the console versions foe the beta, but are holding out pc patches until its gold?

Yeah I’m finding that the 870 his more consistent and killing stuff than the M1014

messed with the 870mcs or whatever…I LOVE IT

its kinda hard to explain, but it FEELS like youre really shooting a shotgun, the vibration and the noise and everything is perfect. i love the gun sounds in this game. not hollywood or fake at all

and dear fucking GOD, if youre playing assault, learn to throw out health packs and REVIVE REVIVE REVIVE! you get 100 points, and on top of that, you have backup! i literally saw 4 medics in the bathroom (mcom A in the subway) and about 5 dead bodies and no one revived anyone. i spent one round just running around reviving people and i went something like 10/15 with 5500 points and was 2nd highest on leaderboard.

i play for points sonsssss

Is the M416 better than the PP2000? I just barely gorbit yesterday but I don’t like it so far…

They’re both low recoil weapons. The M416 has a better ammo capacity(30 rounds) compared to the 20 that the PP2000 gets.

Wow. Thats fucked up. Sniper with iron site. Great Cod Kiddies have a great new weapon for there ‘montages’

Do you get more points for doing shit on the xbox version than on the pc version? Man I got level ups and mad weapon upgrades and shit on the xbox in no time but that shit goes so slow on the pc.

There was an update that changed the pace of level progression, i dunno if its applied to pc, or maybe it was applied in between the time you played the console version.

So… the UMP45, gg.

What level is the UMP45? Just discovered the F2000 was in this game, as I was getting dropped by it in 3 bullets.

I like the

Man, I try reviving but I think it bugs up or something…I’d be right over people with the defib…and they just lay there…Oh yeah, the PP200 is nice.

I got it at 16, if I’m not mistaken.
