The Official Battlefield 3 Thread

See, a lot of people complain about the L85A2 because of the ROF, but I really like it too, the accuracy over range is great.

Why people bitch about the Usas? -_-

Is a damn autoshotgun with frag rounds as an option i don’t see the problem here, Is a great weapon in close combat maps (conquest operation metro).

The famas is fine.

Also the hardcore servers are full of shit talkers whining “nerf this nerf that” bla bla bla lol.

That’s why the SCAR is worthless now and Stingers are nigh useless against aircraft now.

Stinger nerf so fucking dumb, Scar nerf was just unnecessary.

Not to mention making the G3A3 weak as hell and not remotely worth unlocking.

Yeah people are just stupid.

They don’t understand the relation between Weapons and maps, the Scar-H was really good on rush, and every weapon has special properties for specific maps, without the Usas some openers would be near impossible in some maps i don’t feel bad if someone kills me with it because is the function of the weapon and this game is all about risks.

Indeed.

That’s because of all the idiots who wanted to stay on vehicles instead of helping the team and reaching objectives, some people are just retarded when they use vehicles.

Last day i used all my 7 stinger charges on some random helicopter and: flare flare flare, out of LoS, repeat…

I really hate when devs likes to homogenize the games because of this new gen of players.

Yeap there’s a reason why I have 100-something kills with my Javelin and I run SOFLAM when I roll “conservative” Recon.

Nerfing Stingers then buffing Aircraft was really fucking dumb. Aircraft are super OP now and you will never take down a good pilot unless you have a good pilot on your team.

Wooooww really!? thats some dumb move to nerf stingers. They were fine as they was!

Stingers have been nerfed for a min. Again this is console side, it might be different for PC. I know in BC2 Helicopters were alot more of a problem in the console version then the PC version. Conquest really needs some AA vehicles in the console version.

Saying this again: When used correctly Choppers are the most deadly vehicle in the game.

I couldn’t agree more, I spend a lot of time in choppers and when I get a good gunner, we rule the map and I just love combat flying. Honestly, sometimes even I wonder how the fuck I haven’t been brought down yet. Stinger nerf was retarded, because attack choppers are deadly as hell.

The Z-11 or Little Bird can pretty much swing a game in their team’s favor on Norsharr Canals. Map is SO stupid on consoles -_-

It can on PC too, it’s amazing how people still haven’t switched on to the laser painter/guided missile combo. Scout choppers can be evil!

Its pretty funny, CStatic. I was reading Korynthyn’s post about silencers/suppressors and I was thinking to myself “well, could I call them mufflers?”, then you go on to educate this dude and let him know about that shit deriving from automotive shit and mufflers. hehe I just though it was silly.

Anyhow, I havent played this game in a while. I just cant get into anything online these days.

It was a stupid thing to even make an argument over.

I was going to say, I haven’t seen you around in a long while on B3. You’ll be pleased to know I’ve switched from jets to heli’s :wink:

There are no mobile AA on console conquest maps? Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn, you boys have it bad! Heli’s are already a huge pain in the ass, but a complete absence of mobile AA must be hard, especially in so-called ‘pub’ games where you can seldom rely on anyone looking beyond their own KDR and throwing down a SOFLAM or jumping in a CITV.

Are Jets also a pain on console conquest? I have to say, due to limited capabilities from the average pilot, I’ve found most maps with the presence of jets to be pretty inoccuous if you’re on the ground, very seldom do they do anything but engage enemy air or crash into the ground when they get a bit brave and try and strafe a vehicle/infantry.

The ONLY maps Mobile AA’s are on are Norsharr Canals on Rush and Wake Island on Conquest. Speaking of people padding their KDR me and jae played about 3 games against a group of guys that held down ONE flag the entire game and just camped.

Jets aren’t so bad, mostly cause they’re so focused on taking out anything in the sky that moves.I must be the ONLY person that uses Rocket Pods on Fighter Jets. Attack Jet’s are a different story. a good pilot can RAPE anything on a Rush map with jets.

Wow, then yeah, you get a lot less than on PC. We get mobile AA on every map with air vehicles on PC. That must really change the dynamic on certain maps.

I used to use rockets with cannon because the cannon is so much deadlier than heat seekers, and seekers are only good for letting the enemy know you’re there! Sneaking up behind, now that’s where it’s at! I don’t fly planes much any more though. Rush Jets are incredibly powerful in comparison to their conquest counterparts, but then I also think that has a lot to do with the area limitations on rush, the enemy are all having to stay in bounds sort of makes it like fish in a barrel.

Why are the pc and consoles versions so different any way with consoles getting less defensive options? I kept hearing dice be all “oh consoles will be the same experience” but it sounds like the metagame in eack version is totally different and thats stupid. You should never want a split between your fans like this imo.

It’s gonna be hard to eventually overtake MW when your own community is seperated and dealing with different things. I think they should at least try to thin the gap between them as much as they can so they have to patch as few things as possible. But hell I dunno how complicated this stuff is, and i’m likely way off.

I don’t understand that even if there were limitations on consoles with how many vehicles (or whatever the hell) could be on a map, why on earth would you remove something as fundamentally important to air defence as mobile AA when you could ditch some of the jeeps or something? They’re just giving air vehicles free kills, a decent heli pilot would never get shot down!
