Wish they had more servers, i only have seen the same 10 servers since release, and most them are always full with 7+ wait lines to play. :/

Been refreshing for the last 5min and the same 2 show up with stupid servers settings for 100 tickets. sigh

Spread is spread, it is independent of range. It is called Solid Angle.

yea, but I would like to know how far out before the shots stop hitting due to the spread. If the first shot circle is smaller than the torso/head, then the spread doesn't matter too much. I would like to know the range in which that wouldn't be true anymore.
 
Hmm, after reading some of the comments in this thread I'm thinking about going back to the M416 when I play Assault. Got very used to it, but switched to something that unlocked later under the assumption that later unlocks = better guns. Maybe not quite true?

I've been switching guns just to get a service star with them. Don't think I'll do it will all though (especially the Type 88).

set and save your filters, then press the down arrow for a while. more servers will be added to the list. then scroll back up and sort by players, ping, whatever. don't refresh unless you want to lose the current list.

imo, pretty lame.
 
Is it me or is the ECM jammer for choppers ridiculously long? I was playing on a map last night and getting butt raped by a chopper pilot and his gunner...these guys were very very good...and since I haven't gotten anything unlocked for the chopper I am not sure how their setup worked...but they had an ECM Jammer that FFS would jam my stinger for what felt like 10 seconds...

Well by then they have either gunned me down or flown away so I lost my tag...

I bet I got killed by them a dozen times easy...

The ONLY time I got them (OH was it sweet vengeance)...

they were rollin' around and just destroying everyone...I got around to a Enemy tank that was near by the chopper and the driver hopped out...he noticed me...we got into a FF and I won (Yippee) and then I jump in this busted tank...and that chopper comes floating by about about 30 feet in the air...and I put a tank round straight in the tailpipe with the tank...ended their kill streak, avenger bonus, double kill...ended up being close to a 1000 points for a single tank round...

After that I really didn't care if I got another kill 🙂



Any setting that helps with the feeling like you are running around with Blinders on?

I hate getting killed with people that appear just out of my peripheral line of sight

Pretty sad.

Yeah helis are still way overpowered. AA missile range should be doubled, and they should drop in health much faster. Also flares should be nerfed more. Of course I hate the things and think the people that fly those things are usually cowards who can't do crap in a real matchup (checking stats this usually proves true).

I don't know, the game has just been really pissing me off lately. I see constant blatant team-stacking, and the the stats thing I think makes people play like douches more than anything else. Too worried about K/D ratio to have balanced teams (I see this ALL the time, I'll be the only high-ranking guy on a team, while the other team has 8-12 Colonel and above).

While I haven't been playing all that long...I have noticed you are either rolling the other team or getting butt raped...there seems to be no in-between...


That while being lone wolf most of the time because of no VoIP and coordination I am getting gunned down running most of the time by people that seem like they are out of my peripheral vision

Turn the FOV all the way up. I think in graphics settings? Might be game settings.

If teams are really shitty on the other side, I'll switch (example, all flags capped, my teammates fagging it up by baseraping) .. the best times are when a conquest match comes down to the last 50 points or so.

But yeah, waaaaaay too many players just wait to stack the teams and buff their precious stats. Lame.

I played a bit of BC2 last night maybe about 10 mins worth i got base raped by a mortar strike..i punished the guy then within like a few mins i jump in a copter as gunner some guy flys us into the restricted area and stays there till we are killed for not returning

I jump on a second server some recon douche does the same exact thing with his copter so i say screw BC2.

I jump into my first round of BF3 for the evening and within 10 seconds of jumping on a fresh round i get roadkilled by a member of my own team i was like wow what a shitty night for gaming.

I flipped out lol i was destroying friendly copters and vehicles for 5 mins...funny thing we still won and i was like the 5th best player still on my team....

Something's wrong with your server browser, there are tons of servers in North America playing everything from Large Conquest to Squad TDM.

lame indeed. I hate this shit.

Worse, I don't dare to scroll for more servers for too long. After awhile, I lose pings. And at that point, I can't refresh. I just have to hope the ping is consistently around the previous mark. Usually the servers are consistent, as I've noticed I'm going to the same servers for the low ping (and putting up with queues, and oh... so glad those are back).

It seems that for some determined period of time, I cannot ping through the browser after a certain number of times.
I've never noticed this is games before, but I can't find anything in any settings that will make it work for the browser.
Definitely annoying, because I can't put up with going into servers blind, to find the server frequently has laggy moments. After so many such servers I'd be liable to give up unless I can get into a low-ping server (but like I said, I have a few servers saved that are reliably low-ping).
 
Experienced my first ram with a jet tonight ever in the game.

Jumped into a copter as a gunner and i hit a jet passing by he turned around charged the copter i got some solid hits he never fired back but just rammed his jet killing me and the pilot.

Would people call that a legitimate kill?

Can't really help but think its freaking stupid is it people being lazy about aimiing ?
 
At least the ramming idiots get no credit for killing who they hit. It'd definitely be nice if they could do something about that.
 
Been finding myself avoiding the copters more often now...if i don't got a lousy pilot you get a lock on as soon as you take off from the base or like tonight for me a ram.

Jets really own the skys maybe i got bad luck with pilots or most of you buddy up together but a good pilot is a rare gem and really discouraging with all lthe stupid shit i put up with most the time.

I have tried flying with kb+ms and it doesn't work out for me i just crash whatever i fly is a joystick gonna make that world of difference and anyone having issues with them?
 
Joystick is 100x better than mouse and keyboard, especially easy if it twists so you can easily yaw just by rotating the stick.

Half of the battle is proper tools (joystick), the other half is skill and knowing when to duck and avoid.
 
Are the BTK unlocks usable in regular BF3? Like on Op Metro...etc.? And can you unlock BTK weapons on the regular BF3 maps? Just curious... 🙂

The weapons are usable on any map. You can unlock SOME weapons outside of B2K, but some assignments require a certain amount of time spent in specific maps.

Any one else having a bug/issue that when the black loading screen pops up in between maps/rounds it seems to get stuck and not load the map? I am having this issue and it its dmn nearly killing my desire to play this game...
