Other General Battlefield 3 discussion thread

That is my point, I never dump a server because the round is a loss, I can still increase my kills even if I'm capped back to the uncap, I just switch to sniper and start popping heads.

I still think the auto balance should be more balanced, ie it stops trying to balance once less than 100 tickets is reached.

 

Some good games tonight. Hardcore TDM is quite fun. ZiipMicJules took my tags but i got them back.

Lots of death and knife kills. And a random grenade kill. Wish I had recorded it

Oh and my girl changed her mind about the weekend so won't be online Saturday as planned.

 

While I would like to agree with you, I really just feel that if your team is absolutely dog crap, then what's the point in finishing a round where the enemy team will essentially be shooting fish in a barrel??

 

That's when being a ninja is the most fun. Although yeah sometimes spawn rape is annoying.

 

It's not just spawn rape, it's the fact that you spend an entire round, be it 600 tickets or 1000, trying to get out of your spawn using a jeep buggy whatever, only to get javalin'd, attack heli'd, tanked, etc, you start to cap one point, and the entire enemy team spawns on that one point. You essentially stay on the server to try and attack those that aren't aware you're there, and completely ignore the possibility of capping any points.

 

Had one of those amazing Battlefield moments in a game just now. On Davamand Rush on the third checkpoint defending. Enemy is pounding us with mortars and the attack chopper is flying around strafing us constantly. I respawn as engi with the hopeless idea of RPG'ing the chopper.

I run towards the opening of a building, spin around, launch my RPG at the chopper which is a good 150 yards away, then turn to run away figuring I only managed to attract attention...


Vehicle Destroyed!

HOOOLY CRAP. I wish I had that recorded. I didn't even see the hit. Was too busy booking it in the other direction.

 

Autobalance should only ever kick in between rounds, but unfortunately most server admins aren't capable of striking a balance between uninterrupted ranked gameplay and player-made rules.

 

I disagree, auto balance should be set to move last players joined. Or lowest scoring players. To make the game as even as possible.

And also scramble teams of ticket difference is too high.

That is how the CPC server ostensibly setup.

 

I guess i could live with the first option although there is still a chance that you work towards a win but nobody joins after you and then you end up losing to yourself because the other team started to ragequit.

The second option makes more sense in terms of not screwing people out of their well deserved win, however i question the usefulness of giving your worst players to the losing team.

 

Big congrats! What was your play time exactly? 800 something, right?

Awww... you on tonight though?

 

Yeah was fun last night, even if Lassar *did* threaten to ram my gun up my rectum.

 

I will be on tonight for sure Digi! Lassar does that at times. We all do to be honest.

 

Oh I know, I was only jesting... Or was I... *glares at Lassar*

On a plus note, L96 progress going well. 3 stars down, 2 to go. I also managed to nail all the more difficult assignments for Premium last night, so now it's just a case of getting kills with C4/SMAW/AT Mines.

That's all assignments done then!

 

I have the kills with specific kits to work through. C4 and AT Mines left. C4 is getting harder and harder to slap down. Or Im just off my game when it comes to anti vehicle warfare.

Jeehad jeeps are still fun though!

 

I just went on a Gulf of Oman 24/7 server and got them all in 2 games. Parachuting out of heli's and dropping it from the air on to vechiles or landing on them or beside them. Plenty of opportunity for Jihad jeeps as well on there.

I need the Claymore and AT mine kills and that's it for all assignments. I still hate claymores..

 

I did that to a transport heli but with a tank shell last night, got something like five kills, was so satisfying

Yeah something like that. Seems I might have become a greater target for people trying to knife me heh. Kind wish my rank was stuck at 99 LOL. Oh well, at least I've still got my tank dog tags and not the colonel one xD

You just need someone with you to be the decoy. Join on me once in a while if you feel up to it. I'll run around in front of it so you can get the plant.

Join me on some Metro TDM if you want Entrances on either side of the buildings at A mean lots of opportunities for claymores, trust me, I have 834 kills with them

 

As i said last night HC TDM Noshahr for clays so easy to get them.

 

Still doesn't beat my "look out from behind the container, sh**, there is an attack helicopter coming here, pull out M320, randomly shoot in direction of the helicopter, run away like a hell fearing the mayhem of shots from the attack helicopter and then i notice "ENEMY KILLED. ENEMY KILLED. VEHICLE DESTROYED" at bottom of screen" moment. RPG is flying relatively direct, but hitting a helicopter with M320, that is something .

 

Impressive I'll never forget the first time I ever went on the CPC server. Kharg Island, RU deployment, jump in a tank and take out Doms chopper before even moving and he was over E! I've never had a tank shell like it before or since. If only I had a time machine to record it Literally the best shot of any kind I've ever done.

Been struggling a lot recently, I have no idea what it is. I was never a great player but for some reason I'm just getting owned all the time. Meh.

 

Been playing quite a bit on a Gulf of Oman server and it has pretty much gotten to the point that any vehicles on the team I'm on are instantly being lit up, simply because if I get in a tank, everything gets blown out the sky
