[ALL] Battlefield 3

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I've done that a few times. Usually it happens when i throw the C4, they get out because they realize what I am doing, I panic and blow all of us up :hs:

Spot and hide on the rare occasion that I use one of those two classes.

I'm kamikaze as fuck when I play support though haha. Chase down the tanks with C4. Half the time I wind up committing suicide when I blow up the tank cause I'm afraid they'll see me before I get a chance to get away and blow it so I just plant and blow.

Exactly, I absolutely LOVE using C4, a lot of people aren't good enough with the tank turrets to hit you when you're running up on them. Also with the Medic class you have the grenade-launcher (M290 or something like that) which doesn't do a whole lot of damage but you can at least disable them and then shoot the guys when they jump out.

offtopic is reporting that PS3 users already have the maps downloaded, that is why our patch was 768mb vs 360's much smaller one :coold:

Oh, and what do you guys do if you aren't playing engineer and have to deal with enemy vehicles? Run?

I can't stand not being able to do anything about vehicles in my way.

I can see if you are support, but assault/recon is screwed.

I swap to an underslung grenade launcher as Assault, fire 3 times and cry like a baby in a corner usually.

There's no better feeling than the thrill of hunting tanks with C4.

 

[kyhadley]

Yeah as assault I try to make sure they don't see me and just sneak around them.

This is interesting: you do 50% damage on MBTs with the Javelin if it's been marked with the SOFLAM as opposed to 34% without being marked.

I guess I'll start leveling up my Recon class.

There was some weird shit going on last night while playing with Wings and my other buddy on xbox. There seemed to be an invincible player on each team and it was risky random because one time my buddy was invincible. He went like 39 and 4. About halfway through one of the matches he said the audio went out. Then I noticed that his name wasn't appearing above his player. He couldn't be killed. Wings and I noticed at last one guy on the other team was invincible as well. We just kept shooting him and he wouldn't go down.

It seemed to happen in every match.

I've played with the recon class more than any other class and rarely use the SOFLAM since nobody takes advantage of me using it for them. I'll target a vehicle with it and wait and wait for somebody to take it out...never happens though.

I wish more people would use it. I run around with the Javelin unless there is air support currently on the map. You also don't need to have line of sight on your target either.

I haven't played this all that much since my time over the last month has been spent constantly working. I'm hoping once the karkand pack is fully released I can get back into it fully.

On a side note Dice has been getting grilled bad almost everywhere I've seen about releasing the new content on PS3 first and not the PC. It'll be interesting to see how that sways their decision making process from here on out since everything has been coming out PS3 first since the beta.

If that's true, then DICE hasn't unlocked the new maps for everyone who has a LE copy. I just tried to join conquest matches on Sharqi Peninsula and Gulf of Oman to no avail getting an error that said I didn't have the content yet.

Their twitter says it will be unlocked between 2 and 6 pm Pacific

So we have to download something when the Store updates. Probably just a 200 kB unlock too . Just another reminder of how annoying it is to have Sony updating their marketplace at the end of the day.

Also, new Wake Island gameplay.

[JayDizzle]

If they have as many flags as they did for Conquest on '43, the "new" Wake is going to be a bloody affair.

Especially when you consider that there's more vehicles that can kill the fuck out of you this time instead of a tank/P-40/called in bombing run...

Can't wait.

Addendum: I like how the new trophy/Cheevo requirements are somewhat of a challenge.

-Complete Warrior: Get a kill with an Assault Rifle, in a Jet and in a Tank all within a single life/ticket

-Third Tour: Get a kill with the BTR-90, DPV and F-35

-Gunslinger: Get 10 kills with each of the ten Back to Karkand weapons

-Like a Boss: Get a kill with the skid loader

-Jaws: Take a swim in the Oman Hotel swimming pool

I would assume to get to the pool would require a lot of stair climbing or a short lift using air support.

 

[padman59]

I really want to try out Conquest Assault.

Also, to follow up on something I posted when the PS3 patch hit, the required co-op score to unlock everything has been lowered to 160k per Battlelog. It is no longer 440k. Also, if you had over 160k before the patch but didn't unlock all of the guns, all you have to do start a game of co-op to unlock the trophy/achievement.

:bowrofl: What purpose does the skidloader serve besides hilarious roadkills?

Hilarious roadkills now with the added bonus of C4? :dunno:

If I can drive it off a tall building, I plan on doing it as soon as the DLC's available.
