Other General Battlefield 3 discussion thread

I'm crap with accuracy. If ever i recorded my sniping; You'd just see me taking a few guestimate shots, then walking the scope either up or down depending on if it went over or under. Sometimes firing at every increment. So the sniper usually notices because there's sorta the line of bullets leading from the original impact point to somewhere near them.

 

Wellcome in the club

 

Occasionally I'll guess at angles and manage a Lucky hit, but it's mostly just me being lucky, and usually i've sniped someone standing very close to where they'd just gotten hit anyway, so I can remember the angle needed.

 

I still need some helicopter destruction training. Those tank shots are oh so satsifying.

 

Go to Meadsy for that, he's ridiculous with those AA tank shells. I also won't forget the time he tempted me in with a low jet strafing run and I received an RPG in the face for my troubles.

 

I will be online this afternoon. Leading my girlfriends early as i am getting a lift home.

 

Where do you guys play?

 

Random servers and if you check my signature we have a community run server too.

 

I was just across the hill from you when that happened. Funniest thing I ever saw

 

Great video, anyone remember the original ad?

 

Ha ha looks like Ant and Decs Saturday night takeaway

 

I will ask again, just in case. Where is this game cheapest? Play seem to have it at £27

 

http://www.tescoentertainment.com/store/game/pc-battlefield-3/8:775273

£21.42 for standard edition.

IF you want the DLC's, go for premium to get all at once for cheaper

 

I assume you have to buy premium after you've bought the game?

 

Yeah.

Premium is simply a bundle of all the DLC's (Karkand, Close Quarters, Armored Kill, Aftermath and End Game).
At ~ £10 each, it is cheaper to get the bundle than buy individual, even if you only want 2 or 3 of them since the bundle is ~£30 (tesco is 33)

 

I got Karkland for free already - is CQ worth it? I logged on for the first time in ages last night but a little late, noticed a few map names I've not seen before so am curious about vfm?

 

CQ is has it sounds, more run and gun action, there's also a game mode called "gun master", where you start with a pistol and need two kills to move up to another gun, you work you why up through different types of guns, each one with two kills to progress.

It has its own set up assignments to unlock.
I guess its good if you want a change of game play style.

You can still work as team, but more fast paced game play.

 

Hmmm, tricky. As just a standalone expansion I would have to say that CQ is not worth it. Even with the new game modes and 4 maps it just doesn't offer enough to justify the standalone price, although after typing that and looking around it can be had for a tenner.

Even so I'd still look into premium myself, all the expansions and a couple of other bits and bobs (assignments and such). The gunmaster mode is quite fun though but it really separates the good players from the bad............i.e me.

 

Should be on tonight after a busy weekend, see you boys on the Battlefield!

 

I bit the bullet and bought a EU copy now just to download 20gb and I'll be more easy kills for you
