The Official Battlefield 3 Thread

I am on XBL.

press up on d-pad.

Wait, I thought the Beta was over yesterday? They extended it?

I clearly shot this guy who was proned for 5 secs straight and did not take no damage. I died btw.

Seriously we are talking stats? Eh I’ll post mine anyway.

I have 10 M-Com station ribbons. Which means I destoyed 3 coms in a single round. So I die a lot running to the objective. For some reason my dog tag I unlocked for it isn’t visible on the site.

The dead body glitch is why they did not want to put prone in the game. It was like that in BC2 as well and why it was removed in the retail version.

Oh snap. I guess some coding problems needs to be fix then?

Idk what is is exactly, it was also giving people invincibility to bullets while dropping into prone ala MW2.

MW2? I thought it was because people didn’t know how to aim.

Nah dropping shoting as it is called is done because you got like 4 or 5 frames of invincibility in MW2 from going prone. I remember Dice saying BC2 had similar problems with prone so they just took it out entirely.

Enough people bitched about it that they put it in Battlefield 3.

Not having prone in BC2 is part of the reason why i stopped playing it for a long time.

I have no idea why they didn’t make caspian border the mp map for console beta, it’s way better than operation metro and gives people not used to BF gameplay a chance to see what it’s like. My only gripes with the game are the flashlights working outside, and the gleam from sniper rifles. It’s like they just arbitrarily put it in the game to nerf snipers, but it looks really dumb when someone is in a dark area and the scope is shining. I just think EA is very lazy when it comes to balance. Although i hate playing console shooters at 30 fps, i’ll probably buy bf3 since i’m getting rid of gears.

so… I was gettin destroyed by the UMP and I had the m16 with acog… fuckin went to gears, :smiley:

Just not feeling the aek–maybe because I didnt have any secondary on it. Had to fall back to my carbine setup. God I love that gun.

why would they even do that? people are gonna go to the army thinking they can drop shot for free. lol. i think going prone should be in fps shooters and think they can fix this problem if they REALLY wanted to.

I had a really hard time seeing enemies during the beta.

welcome to battlefield!

i didn’t realize that the manage squad was not functioning properly until i search the web.

Edit: No one on PS3? Sniffle…

Support cannot refill anything but ammo =/ Oh well Frag seems to only give you ONE extra grenade.

For those that played extensively on the PC and console version, which did you prefer? When I played BFBC2 on the 360, I had way more fun than when I tried it on my PC…

I enjoyed it more on the 360 myself. I think that’s mostly because I prefer the controller over the mouse and keyboard. Some shit was easier with the mouse and keyboard though, like Spotting enemies for instance. The graphics are better on the PC and that helps with seeing bad dudes off in the distance.
