Other General Battlefield 3 discussion thread

We had a few issues with the 2nd server but it has been sorted.

In the coming weeks we will be going to just one server though, running a mixed mode but with more slots, depending on if rush can play with them.

 

Just unlocked the MAV (never play sniper class tbh) I have found it easier to fly a chopper than fly the little thing, now thats saying something

 

A bit of practice and you'll be roadkilling with it in no time

 

Considering I unlocked it within the first week of release and have only just managed to get my 1st MAV kill this weekend>?

Yeah...


Now go to Engineer class and unlock the EOD bot... You thought FLYING was hard? Try keep this sunofa-bleep in a straight line

 

I have a new love in my life, its called the G53 with a red dot sight.

 

I have 27 kills with the little EOD bot, i love the thing, but yeah trying a straight line is not easy, i do find going 3rd person to drive it helps me though

Also the Enemy have become wise to the EOD and scatter when they see it, very handy to arm or disarm M-com stations

 

Try the DAO 12 or the USAS in close quarter, what a pair of animal weapons

 

i feel like such a noob using the usas i cant bring myself to use it. besides i massacred **** tonnes of them last night.

 

Wait... You are level 43 already? I've been playing this on and off (mostly off admittedly due to work) since release and am only ~ 35

EDIT: Err, make that 28

I do like it though when I am normally at the top of the scoreboard and everyone else is a colonel with god knows how many service stars

 

First time I used it, I killed a guy with it, armed a Mcomm and attacked another EOD BOT xD

 

What exactly is the point of the MAV?

 

In theory it lets you scout for your well rounded squad, around corners and stuff.

In practice you use it as an elevator or you try and roadkill people with it.

 

Lolz for truth

 

I see, this is how people get to those hard to reach areas! Although using the MAV as a lift would be classed as hacks?

 

it would be classed as exploit. something i would only do for fun, on an empty server with friends.

MAV is great for your team's mortar squad. SOFLAM is great for your team's javalin squad. it's just a shame the amount of points you get for both is minimal.

 

Spotting. How else do you think i made my 618 surveillance ribbons (and 12 surveillance medals) ?

Easy way of boosting such things, is going on a 64 slot Op Metro and droppiung either TUGS or MAV down. Easy points lol but thats kinda besides the point. A good player doesnt use such maps to get medals etc

And I have tried the elevator drink a few times. Kinda fun when you get it right. Dropped myself on a high building an sniped lots and lots lol

Though if you fall off you may die xD

 

This. I've had a good few practice sessions on these .

 

Metro, never . I got it on standard maps (Caspian, Firestorm, Tehran, Kharg, Noshahr), with standard MAV in air and spotting like hell all the time using Q button tactics. Without the MAV, my recon stats would be maybe somehwere in 1/3rd of the current level (in other words, i am very bad at sniping, and i reached the skill needed for MAV using shotguns).
