Battlefield 3 - Page 248

Anyone hopping on tonight? I'm good for a couple hours and I'm ready to spawn kill

Platoon invite worked.

I want to but I'm beat from travelling all day/week. Tomorrow for sure.

My copy will be here tomorrow

I really miss playing BC2 with you all.

I'm on now but can't get into anyone's games

Holy Hell, that last 5 seconds damn near made me piss myself!

Wow, that wakeup call video was beautiful; gave me goosebumps. I'm not sure about the Carl Sagan though. The guy was a legend but I don't know if it fit. The cheap fun-poking at the end of something so epic seemed a little odd too. Would have preferred to be left thinking "awesome" and not "heh."

Brilliantly made though, no denying it.

Ya know, after I posted that there was this little voice in the back of my head warning me of the possible repercussions that might result from it, but I thought "surely, nobody is really gonna..."

Henceforth, I shall be paying more attention to said voice...

Yeah I basically find it worthless to use rpg against them as well. But the USAS with frag rounds is an excellent weapon against them. Especially if you can get a feel for bullet drop, it can work from quite a long range.

Tuesday night we were playing a guy that flew the little bird straight thru the Damand Peak tunnel during conquest over to our spawn, where I had just spawned. I didn't see it, but people were shocked, saying they had never seen anything like that.

Needless to say, the guy was very good with the little bird.

So I spawned in the middle of this, with him arriving at out spawn. I fire off a stinger. He whips around, locates me, comes right at me and kills me immediately. He whipped around so quick and came right at me so fast, frankly it kind freaked me out and completely impressed me at the same time. Just kind of funny, really.

So I spawned back in with the USAS (frag rounds), fired off my stinger and here he comes. Whip out the USAS, and kill in like two shots to the front end, with the Little Bird landing right in front of me.

To prove a point, so that he could see me, I hurried up jumped in it and took off. Only I hit one of those conveyor belts, crashed and died before I really even got off the ground. Doh. Didn't realize the LB was right underneath it honestly. He must of got a chuckle from it.

The time before on Canals conquest at C, I was blasting away at the Z-11. It seemed to almost flip him over. I mean, he basically almost lost control of it. I'm pretty sure I killed one if his repairers. I'm always getting them, from a pretty good distance. It's a little harder to get the pilot. But at least you can always inflict pretty good damage. And the best results usually occur when the are being overly aggressive.

Hoooooooooooooly sheet! Just played by far the most one sided match I've ever played. Check out the report:

Link

I was in the A-10 and the only thing I did was keep their Frogfoot busy, the top two are buddies and at a combined 85-0 for the game... It was absolutely ridiculous. I had to check their stats, Elijah Zee has nearly 6500 attack heli kills, Dark has nearly 6400. They were freaking unstoppable.

Wow, 69 - 0. Also notice a lot of players on the losing team went 0-fer. What a game!

Had fun playing with people last night. Hopefully the BC2 Zath was present, though rockin' a FAMAS

frickin' awesome games last night.
great teamwork on all levels.
started with 3 of us, grew to 8 by the end of my run.
good times.

who was the guy we were up against on Bazaar that had all the FAMAS kills?
that was a tight match when they planted both A&B with under 10 tickets left.

The one rocking the FAMAS dogtag? iTrid or something like that.

As usual, we get a bunch of people going, finally all 8 people on the same team, and then boom - autobalance mallet splits us up 5-3. Needles got in, too, which was cool!

Yeah, it was that Triffl dude or whatever, he wasn't bad. GG's last night.

I took it back. Tebow isn't capable of dominating anyone.

69-0? htskinner would have easily obliterated those chopper guys with a single RPG.

LOL, I was waiting for some sweet explosion or something the last 5 seconds, but that was way better.

Dude deserves an Oscar for editing.

yawn. footinmouth is a bad disease.

Or with a tank

And RPG's take out REAL helo's all the time, I think they should do more damage *IF* you can hit them lol

Still from launch have yet to see a single chopper not get disabled by an rpg. Especially the scouts.
Still don't understand the confusion with how hard people think rpgs are. Apparently they don't remember BC2. Or any other game in the series..

I just don't get how people are so deathly accurate with RPGs. Do they just spam them like crazy or somethin?! My guess is they're not ADSing and just hipfiring. But maybe I'm wrong...

I dunno exactly but its not anywhere near as rare as this thread would make it sound. Anything that happens 2-3-4 times a round isn't exactly rare.
It's perfectly conceivable to them that they can hit a moving tank from 100m, but not a chopper moving the same speed from 25 m..

Dude, just... dude. Seriously? First of all, noone made that analogy. And B, hitting a moving chopper isn't remotely the same as a moving tank. Not the same ballpark, not the same game! The tank is moving in a linear fashion at a relatively static speed. The chopper is generally moving in an erratic pattern at differing speeds with the ability to move in many different directions.

The times I've hit a chopper with an RPG/SMAW I've approached it like sniping - ADS, lead the target, and hope they continue on their course of direction and speed. The success rate for me has been relatively low, for the reasons Dude stated above, but I have managed to do it a handful of times.

Speaking of one-sided games kabob983....

Last night I jumped into a Rush match with a few AVS guys, then the game ends everyone quits and I'm left as the only attacker in a new game on Tehran Hwy.... it's me vs 5, and 4 of them are a squad of Colonels. The game lasted over an hour, and at least half that time I was the only player on my team!

Needless to say they spawn raped the **** out of me before I finally got some help. Ended up being 5 vs 7, they won, but we did manage to destroy 5 mcoms. Fun.

Hahaha no worries man, I thought it was pretty damned funny actually


I don't know Snake, imho it is exponentially more difficult to be effective with the RPG in BF3 vs. helo's than it was in BC2. I was pretty damned good at rocketing choppers in BC2 (both ADS and hipfiring), but I'm not even sure I've managed to do it once in BF3. I can't put my finger on exactly why that is, all I know is that it sure is a much different weapon in this game. Same goes with the mounted rocket launchers...I used to love those things in BC2, yet in BF3 I find them almost completely useless, save for perhaps the one on Tehran Highway.

I'm not trying to call you out, but since you're the one that's repeatedly said it is so common/easy, then SHOW US. Let's all hop into a match and we'll do nothing other than feed you ammo and watch as you blow chopper after chopper after chopper from the sky with nothing but a single RPG every time. Since it happens 2-4 times per round, this shouldn't be a problem on any map or against any pilot whatsoever, right? (This is asked not in a mocking or chiding tone, but quite sincerely, given the "it's easy, it's common" statements leading up to this post.) I know that pretty much everyone here would love to see just how it's done. Personally, I'm always ready to learn, so how about it? You name the time, we'll be there.

Or is this another one of those statements like Zath's "Just use the AA gun. It works wonders!" words of "wisdom?" (Despite the fact that he follows up with the fact that he's only barely disabled 2 planes ever with it and I've only been personally downed by one 3-4 times ever.) Sorry, Zath, but that's like me telling people to simply blow up tanks with nothing but grenades or to just jump into the air and throw C4 onto jets as they pass by. The AA gun is good for showering confetti on Zath's birthday parties and that's about it.
