Battlefield 3 - Page 292

ha nice video mph

never tried TV missiles and rarely if ever see people using them... I'd imagine unless you get really good with the tv missle it would put you at a disadvantage against a good chopper pilot?

One or the other.

Either let me shoot at anything and everything with a clear line of sight for 1/3 of the distance of the map from my airbase on ALL maps...

OR...

Lower the range to a few hundred yards and give the AA gun; 300% gun strength, AA missles, Guided Shell, and a TV Missle. Want to come into my camp? Eat s#!t, spawncamper!

The first would make air battles far more intense by forcing the mjority of the action into the center of the map. The latter would completely the spawnraping issue entirely. Neither is going to happen, but still...

Thanks for the compliments fellas. Actually I've watched the video a bunch, for some reason I'm fascinated with tv missiles, lol.

Actually, yeah I think the joust that can be helicopter battles where you have tv and the other has guided missile, the advantage swings to the guided missile. But honestly I think the idea that both helicopters must fly straight at each other is kind of a weird thing. You see it all the time, and I did it for a long time. But frankly it is probably too risky. I think one should either sneak up on the chopper, or now one could fire tv missiles.

Basically, one will see the other first. Lately I like to lead them on a chase and then pop up under them or something. It puts the ball in your court. You have a game plan and you know exactly when you are going to ECM, because in the meantime you can be below radar.

Using the tv missile also allows the pilot to use something other than laser painter. I like air radar. Knowing where the other air vehicles are is nice, especially if they have good jets.

I've found the guided shell seems to take a while. But I'll use whatever, it is no big deal.

I haven't played since they were supposed to nerf the tv, so it may be pointless now, idk.

I don't know. I think the most important thing in the choppers is to find a rhythm. I really do. I think things go wrong with distractions that get you hovering. Though sometimes the temptation is too strong. But I just think that a game plan of bobbing and weaving, not stopping, coming up with a gameplan in your head and sticking to it is the best plan.

But yeah, I wish you could change out your vehicle weapons a little easier, so that you can adapt to a case by case situation a little easier.

A couple of my clips I showed my tv destroying their chopper for the first ticket loses of the match. That is absolutely one advantage that was there. You can definitely open up a match like gang busters, really helping your team set the tide right out of the gate. I hope that hasn't changed.

hey guys I'm on AVS server now and its empty

I like the map rotation, but server description mentions 70% tickets... dont see where to change that or how to change the description, but I'd say if it 100% maybe it would fill up?

Also not crazy about the adverting of exactly how to get here... surprised we didnt already get some trolls joining the forum based on this lol

Yeah sorry I can't get on right now to help.

If it is the same for you as it is for me, here is how I access it.

Go to multiplayer, then my servers. Click on the avs server and I think maybe RT over to manage server. There should be two different options like manage maps and manage settings. I've not changed any settings so far. Hopefully this helps you find the area to where you can change things around. Good luck.

I'm not sure when I will be able to get back on. I've got too many things that need done around the house, and I have been playing this game too much and playing with videos, LOLZ.

after not playing for a couple of months (ME3) i played last night and i sucked it up, it is like a different game (not saying in a bad way, just different) the patches really changed stuff around... noticed the FAMAS was not the same gun it used to be... what type of guns "improved" since the patch.. sorry for the dumb question, just been out of the BF3 loop

I've been using:
Support- RPK74M with extended mag Kobra sight
Assault- AEK971, m16a3
Engineer-m4 burst fire with Kobra sight
Recon-M40a5 with straight pull and 8x scope, SKS,

Got to C4 a choppa from the ground!!!!!! On Davamand some idiot tried dying down the tube on rush and I happened to spawn right behind him. Two packs and boom goes the dynamite!!!!

Nexus I see you are ranked 12th overall with C4 kills on BF3stats.com, nice. I see there is another nexus ranked higher than you. It must be in your all's blood.

Yea I've blown a thing or two up...hehe Thanks!!!

I think biggest change is what they did with attachments so you should focus on that to make guns feel better depending how you want to play. Used to be before foregrip+supressor was a no brainer since it greatly reduced recoil and kept you off mini map. Now they made it foregrip only reduces horizontal recoil and makes your ADS at long range WORSE. Now, if you want to reduce vertical recoil you can use flash suppressor. If you want increase long range accuracy use the heavy barrel. Regular Suppressor still keeps you off map but doesn't reduce recoil that much anymore.

They also did tweak the guns to 'balance' them. I haven't used FAMAS post patch but from what I heard it will be only good on CQC now and even if you burst will not be good a range. If you want a good transition gun for all around that you got used to with the FAMAS you should check out the AEK since it also has high rate of fire. Post patch I found grip+heavy barrel a good combo.

I also used love F2000 which is also similar but have gotten around to trying it post patch yet because I've working on the M16 which is good all around but definitely a different style than the high ROF guns.


Ha figured it would be high but not that high nice work nexus

that is stupid.. thanks for the advice..

FAMAS & F2000=on the junk heap of Battlefield history. Back to 'ol faithful, the trusty M16. For LMG's, I've gone w/ the QBB-95, grip, heavy barrel, holographic. It's ridiculously accurate post-patch!

Btw, if anyone was having trouble getting battlelog to show your stats(mine always got stuck showing "loading"), you must disable private browsing when using Safari. It was driving me crazy!

I just got this game 4 day's ago. I been hearing a lot gamers are pissed off with "rent your own" server update. I haven't downloaded bc it's gb file!.
But what's with the respawn feature? i respawn and all of sudden pow i m dead lol.

Ok, not to whine but I ran into something weird: There was a guy who was like 80-10 on Metro, and every time he killed me/others, it just said killed by (his gamer tag). The spot where they show his load out was BLANK. I'd sneak up on him shoot him in the back w/ the M16, get the hit marker, and boom-I'm dead in one shot. Also, even though I got the hit marker several times he ALWAYS had 100% health...

I had the same issue the other night. Same map also. Couldn't quite figure it out

Was he an assault class with Dart rounds by chance?

Speaking of Dart rounds, guy on Metro last night had like 160 dart kills, he probably killed me 10 times.

I had 80 some kills, all SKS. My final setup for SKS is flash suppressor, foregrip, and either HOLO red dot site or ACOG. I like HOLO because of the wider field of view, ACOG for slight magnification. I just unlocked the last attachment which is the standard RDS but haven't used it yet. I don't know what it is about this gun, but I seem to win most one on one gun fights. The suppression seems to be off the charts with this gun as well, I'm getting suppression ribbons like crazy now. I know they buffed the suppression of all guns with the last patch but I only noticed the effectiveness with this gun.

I think the big advantage of this gun is the range of effectiveness. Most assault rifles, LMG's, and carbines are only effective to a certain range, and the SKS basically doubles that in my opinion. With the foregrip and flash suppressor you can spam the trigger button and it basically stays on target even at range. It does drift upwards to a degree but with the SKS I'm not going for headshots, just pumping lead. So I can start low torso and by the time it's drifted up I've already got 3-4 bullets in them and they are dead. I hope they don't patch this gun going forward, this will be my mainstay for a LONG time. Since it is recon I just need to get better at laying good spawn points and placing my TUGS in an opportune spot and I've got a good setup for lots of points.

In my game, I dont know. You know it says the 'player who shot (weapon) your name' when you get shot, well it doesnt say a weapon. It was just both players names in their colors with no weapon. In the kill cam, the weapon and attachments are all blank. Going to try and find the game on battlelog.






I started using this setup and I must say I love it. What a great powerful weapon. I wish I could use it with any class.

Is it possible to access my older games through battlelog? Or is it only the last 5 games? Never tried to look up an older game before and cant seem to find how, if possible.

The only way I've found to access older games is thru bf3stats.

That's just it, the load out screen was blank. You couldn't tell what he was using...

Anyone having issues with the sound cutting in and out on xbox? Before the patch I would loose vehicle sounds and footsteps on occasions. Now after the patch I loose all sound more frequently . Checked tv on different sources and test xbox with another game, everything worked fine. So has to be battlefield.

Yup no real change post patch maybe a bit worse.

I finally played a few matches in the avs server. I was on the team with some familiar names. Their squad was full up until the last game then I left.

I have the same issue with the sound as I did before. Dont notice it any different.

Liking the DAO-12 with extended mag and flecettet round. Good firing speed with distance.

So did MPH ever get around to giving us his paypal info? MPH you can PM me and I'll glady donate some money for the server rental.

Last night I modified the map rotation to Metro, Seine, and Bazaar on CQ only 100% tix. It filled up and stayed filled up while I played last night. If anybody wants to change the maps feel free, it's not very hard to switch around once you know how to do it. Had a mixed bag of games last night, at times I couldn't get any kills for some reason. My last match was especially atrocious.

RaZoR sent me a message yesterday about getting together some sort of clan tournament between his BAT and our AVS. What do you guys think?

I'm in depending on the time of course.
