The Official Battlefield 3 Thread

It is definitely a different series though I would like new versions of Panama Canal and some of the snow maps from BC2 in BF3 to see how different they play.

@Rabbit2k7 BF3 is a huge and great game and if its the worst thing that DICE have ever done then they must be doing something right with their games.

I have played a lot of games in my week off work and had MVP alot, SPM raced up, KD up, PTFO constantly, throwing ammo every time I see a support kit, reviving people all the time. I’ve done some heavy James Bond skills like landing an F-35 on the hotel in Oman, roadkilling a guy, ejecting and parachuting onto the roof, no scoping 2 people and turning around and double killed 2 others with my pistol all in about 10 seconds. Another one I shot a plane down with a T-90, turned and shot the chopper down with the very next shot before the plane kill went off my kill feed, reversed over a support guy and then killed a jihad jeep coming at me all while capturing a flag in the space of about 30 seconds. All this and still somehow I just cannot get a team to win.

W/L down from 2.78 to 2.7 :0(

870MCS got a stealth nerf in the form of the reduced spread on buckshot and flechette rounds.

Doesn’t that mean it shoots farther now or more likely to kill if the spread is tighter?

Shoots the same but less likely to kill in my experiences. For shotguns I see it like this:

-If you wanna be accurate use the 870 with slugs.
-Either DAO-12 or M1014 for Semi-Auto
-MK3A1 for Full Auto and just hip-fire people to death that thing is silly accurate and conserves more ammo than the USAS-12.

The SAIGA-12K is just kinda “there” the only advantage it has over the other Semi-Auto’s is that you reload the entire magazine at once instead of “per-shell”

So what is everyone’s Overall skill/weapons skill rating looking like?

My overall skill rating is in the top 7%. This i’m not surprised about since I think the game calculates this by your avg score per game, objectives, supporting teammates, kills, and possibly which players you kill (killing players with high skill rating increases yours).

Weapons wise i’m looking like this:
Name Top
M27 IAR 9%
RPK-74M 19%
SKS 16%
M4A1 55%
G36C 72%
AK-74M 77%

I’m mostly surprised about the SKS since I’ve only started using it for the last month or so (when i started playing again). Other than that i usually play support, since most of the team is either running off to some corner as recon trying to play sniper or they’re using the engineer to launch rockets all day.

My Weapon stats thingies:
AN-94 3%
M16A4 10%
M4A1 8%
QBB-95 1%(I use the M27 IAR now)
AEK-971 9%

Skill is @ 19%

Skill is just really erratic and goes up or down by nearly 60 sometimes, check your history graph on bf3stats and you will see how stupid it is. I can’t trust it at all but right now its 6% earlier it was 10% and yesterday it was 2% The best way to tell someones skill is by SPM, thats how you know what you are doing for your team and how much you play the objectives, do revives or give ammo.

Top Weapons

MG36 0% (I used to be at the very top but I dropped the game for a couple of months and then the current patch came and its pointless without the ext mag. I’m suprised after all this time that I am still near the top.)

M416 0% (dropped this after the 1st patch and still up there :P)

L85A2 2% (just started properly after this most recent patch)

G3A3 1% (higher % than L85 but I have less kills with it, shows how much people use this gun. My friend is number 1 and I don’t think I will catch him)

SKS 1% (another post patch starter)

Then my top pistol is 93R 1%

PKP Pecheneg 4%
MG36 5%
870MCS 3%
M4A1 13%
M1014 12%

Skill 2% Value is at 629.

Edit: Score per minute 7% 505.458 value

Cawi try using either:

M60 w/grip+Flash Suppressor or the M249 with the same things. Or just based MP7 =D

Skill is a useless stat imo, it goes up and down for no reason. There are nights where I won every match and got MVP in 2/3 of my games and my skill went down. Then there are nights where I play like shit and am barely breaking .500 K/D have problems getting 3rd mvp and it goes up. SPM can be misleading to, anyone who is good in aircrafts will have an awesome SPM without actually getting any objectives.

G36C 5 Pct - Suprising considering I got to a 1000 kills with it and pretty much quit using it
870 MCS 8 pct
M4A1 23 pct
USAS 40 pct
M16A4 34 pct

I use way to many different guns tbh, I have a 100 kills with each sniper rifle and have most of the attachments for the carbines and assault rifles.

Weird stats, my accuracy with Russian weapons is 3 pct better.

Conquest W/L is 7.6
Rush is 4
TDM is 3.46

fuck the other 2

I am in the top 1 pct in Objectives Per Min yet my skill is only 450, again a useless fucking stat.
Top 6 pct in MVP Ribbons as well

Akimbo and Cawi are beasts in aircraft and I can not fly one worth a shit. They usually hop in my tanks though lol.

Was going to get on this weekend Akimbo but Diablo III happened.

Ever play Metro with 64 players?

Unfortunately.

Well people who are good in aircrafts usually PTFO in choppers on conquest and they clear the mcoms off because good pilots are good at killing infantry so I can’t deny they should have good SPMs. I just started getting some consistency with killing infantry in the Flankers but it takes a lot of practice. The only inconsistency you have to be aware of with SPM is the boosters who set up private servers and also that your overall SPM doesn’t reflect your current operating skill because it includes your noob period at the start when your SPM was much lower. Your 2% is probably legit 1%.

Ha everyone in my platoon went off to play Diablo 3 this past week so I’ve been largely playing on my own. W/L dropped hard from 2.78 to 2.69 losing nearly every game even when I was going MVP consistently, SPM jumped up loads, k/d jumped and Ive spent all the time on objectives and basically just had totally ass team mates. You know its bad when you get to the end of the game and, instead of the good player leaving on the losing team like normal, I am the only one left with 10000+ score and 53 kills for 8 deaths. They just couldn’t take the shame of letting the mvp down so hard.

I forgot to mention my SPM. 625, but the past 2 months I’ve been running over 700 spm on the monthly charts so thats my current operating SPM range.

I PTFO when I’m in a Jet if I’m not getting raped by the enemies jets. Weather it’s being mostly AA or both and taking out tanks. Though I think Choppers do better at that then jets.

The AMTRAC is an underused vehicle.

Amtrac is awesome but its not often people want to drive you around in it because they get no points or kills so it leaves you a sitting target for Javelins and C4 just sitting in the turret. I’ve taken out my fair share of tanks using the Amtrac turret though.

Neat

Yeh even the mattress takes damage. People said they wanted destruction so here it is, literally everything gets torn to pieces. B2K was so long ago, its such a drag waiting for this DLC and patch. Really looking forward to it.

From what Jae tells me I think people want BC2 type destruction where you could blow up literally ANYTHING.

CQ maps means claymores galore in unsuspecting places ala canals.

Just about any building in BC2 that did not have a MCOM on it could be leveled with enough firepower.
