The Official Battlefield 3 Thread

Yeah is huge problem, people often likes to rush instead of waiting for some recon data, you can see this more on deathmatch modes, people don’t know how to flank the enemy and take advantage of the environment, that’s the magic of battlefield, you can surprise the enemy from any position.

I play TDM now(ugh) cause I already have like 10 Conquest medals XD and It’s a nice distraction. Also a quick an easy way to get attachments/feels for each weapon. Some of those lobbies are VERY FREE.

I need THREE ribbons to have one of every ribbon in the game. o0

[Alenth]

The melee ribbon is a pain in the ass for me, unless they are so dumb to play getting 4 melee kills in one match is difficult sometimes this also depends of the map, also playing Squad Deathmatch is really fun if you are playing with FRIENDS otherwise is a waste of time imo, in Squad Rush people likes to camp in the base and no one attacks lol, i’ve attacked 4 MCOMS with no one guarding them.

Meh, anyways, playing with randoms = random results in any game.

Just 1 question: with how much sensibility are you guys playing?

[Amazing_Funbags]

I need:

-Squad Rush Winner
-SR Ribbon
-M-Comm Defender

I dunno what sensitivity I’m on cause BF3 doesn’t use numbers like CoD. Also props for Auto-Aim only kicking in when the guy is within knifing range and not being stupid like CoD where you can tell people are behind walls XD.

I only need Squad Rush Winner. I only played it once and I was in a squad of idiots vs a team.

Was gonna post this in the CoD thread but it makes more sense here:

EA Wants to Own The FPS Genre by 2014, Will Battlefield: Bad Company 3 Be the Knockout Punch?

[CStatic]

Yeah… EA might want to stop pissing off their customers before that happens. Has B3 come out of beta yet?

New details regarding the next Battlefield 3 expansion pack have been leaked.
Before we dive into this DLC rumor, let’s recap what we have been hearing about the next Battlefield 3 expansion pack so far. One rumor we reported on earlier is the possibilityof an All-American map pack, in which new maps would be set in American cities. DICE also commented on the possibility of a fan favorite, 2143 as well as snowy maps.
According to the Battlefieldo forums, an anonymous source has disclosed “some code” from what’s believed to be a “private Battlelog server,” which can only be accessed by DICE employees. The DLC is rumored to be titled “Close Quarters.”
Two weapons have been revealed:
[LIST]
[]CZ 75 Auto
[]CZ 750 Sniper Rifle
[/LIST]
Also, two vehicles were leaked:
[LIST]
[]UH-60 BlackHawk Helicopter
[]Bradley Infantry Vehicle
[/LIST]
Bare in mind, this is only a rumor at this point, so please take it with a grain of salt. We may hear more about the upcoming DLC in the next few hours during EA’s Game Changers event.
Update: Battlefield 3′s community manager, Ian Tornay, explained on the Battlefield 3 subreddit that tonight’s EA event isn’t “BF3 related.” However, we should expect ”big news at GDC,” and he also noted that the ”GDC news isn’t about the patch.”

DICE better make something that involves Dinosaurs after having them as Easter eggs in the game so damn much.

they REALLY need to get off the notion that they NEED to beat CoD. How many times has this happened already?

MoH is trying to beat Treyarch’s games while BF is trying to beat MW games. I’d respect this series more if they didn’t act like some jealous kid…or they make another future game like BF2143

Taken from: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/03/07/battlefield-3-close-quarters-announced.aspx

Following up its first download expansion Back to Karkand, DICE today revealed plans to bring three more expansions to Battlefield 3 starting this June.
Coming this June first to PlayStation 3, Close Quarters focuses on tight infantry battles with smaller maps and includes 10 more weapons.

The third expansion is called Armored Kill. DICE says its all about the vehicle experiences and it has the largest multiplayer map the developer has ever created.

The final expansion reveled is called End Game, but DICE is not talking about it at all right now. Pricing detailes for these expansions were not announced.

Where are the Dinosaurs DICE?

=E

[CStatic]

Let’s hope there’s some kind of Easter Egg! Man, people are already bitching like idiots about the Closed Quarters DLC, shit, am I the only person in the game who really enjoys tactical CQB?

[Amazing_Funbags]

It’s probably cause CoD(MW3 mostly) is filled with clusterfuck maps. OP Metro is “ok” cause in CQ or Rush you don’t have to worry about guys spawning behind you or P2P servers. I’m confident DICE won’t fuck it up. The only Infantry-based map I dislike is Seine Crossing cause people hardcore camp certain flags and don’t move at all -_-.

ACW-R - PDW
SPAS-12 - semi-auto shotgun
L86 - LMG
MTAR-21 - carbine
AUG - assault rifle
SCAR-L (5.56 variant) - Guessing assault rifle, since engineers already have the H

More good news:

Battlefield 3 Global community Manager, Daniel Matros, has updated fans on the status of the upcoming Battlefield 3 patch.
Daniel Matros has taken to Twitter revealing that the next Battlefield 3 patch is in its final stages. For console players, Matros confirmed that the patch is currently going through the certification process by Sony and Microsoft. He stated that the patch “is being tested at certification by MS and Sony…” Of course, a release date is in the hands of MS and Sony at this point, but Matros did say, “hopefully we can push updates out in the end of March but again, no ETA at all.” As for the PC update, Matros mentioned that “it’s in testing right now still.”
Remember, you can check out a number of tentative patch notes here.
It seems that Battlefield fans can look forward to a number of exciting things, including upcoming DLC, and private servers for consoles. In case you missed it, Back to Karkand was recently updated on the PS3 to fix some odd weapon glitches. You can read more about it here.

Hopefully we finally get a damned ETA

For some reason placing C4 on a jeep and driving into tanks is a viable strategy. I have maybe 42 C4 kills now and I rarely used them before.

I’ve seen the video of that guy doing it just I thought since he was trolling it wasn’t actually effective. I really never use the Jeeps and if I do its only to get somewhere quickly and hop out. My friend wanted me to troll so for about two hours I just went around driving into tanks. Placed C4 onto a helicopter and flew into a tank to detonate, but it didn’t work. Also tried to run my helicopter into snipers, but I either ended up missing cause they moved or flew too fast and ended up crashing.
