The Battlefield 3 - Armoured Kill trailer p281

Classic moment last night. A real watershed.

Metalgear2k2 used his super duper missiles from his T-90 tank to blow mine up so with revenge on my mind, I ported to Base A where his tank was and chucked on two explosives before he ran me over :roll:

and I respawned at B cos A was taken now. I saw him again and I could see that he has the explosives on his tank still from looking at my map.... so I press the detonator and his tank went bang!! so while I was busy texting him a message, he obviously hunted me down and I just came out of the message to see him come round the corner and I shot him to pieces again!! :lol:

We need more ppl to play this.

Just ordered this, should be here on Tuesday...will definitely be up for lots of games later this week!

Mr Yoshi AU is the XBL username.

I've had a bit of a break from this over the past week or 2. The usas/frag combo, famas and jet kamikazes were starting to get a little too frequent and annoying!

Played a bit over the weekend, and although the annoyances are still there, I had alot of fun and remembered why I love the game!

The highlight was on canals, in the z-11 and I was 15 or so for 1, and the opposition were gunning for me! No soflam/javelin combo in site, just lots of guys with stingers on the carrier. Shot many, in between reloads I dropped the helo on one guy for a road kill.... I wish I was recording!

Everytime I play I have a number of fun moments that are unique to battlefield! Best mp game since halo 2 for me!

Does the SOFLAM assist stinger missles or just the Javelin?

Both I think.

Cool. I unlocked the MAV last night and was getting mega points on Seine Crossing.

Just the javelin i believe! Drop a soflam and run away, hide, then pull the view finder out. Spot and mark the chopper, then hopefully at least one person on your team has a javelin. It can be fired from anywhere in the map for an almost guaranteed insta kill to the helo.

Decent Pilots can sometimes shoot the soflam, but with stinger spam and ground targets it's only a matter of time!

I love choppers, but it annoys me that people believe a single stinger should be a match! A co-ordinated squad, fair play... I'll stay on foot!

The soflam, citv and laser painter also help heat seekers fired from air vehicles. It's an almost guaranteed hit, regardless of flares.

Just plant and run, it's semi-autonomous and targets stuff by itself.

I'm getting quite good with the SV98 sniper rifle now as well

can't wait to get the big .338 rifle though

I find it a bit hit and miss, more miss if truth be told.

New? Old?

Upcoming Battlefield 3 patch: what we know

There have been many bits of information surrounding the upcoming Battlefield 3 patch, and we’ve taken to task to compile all the expected fixes and tweaks that DICE has confirmed will make their way into the new patch, which should be released in early February. The list of confirmed additions:

Commo Rose 2.0: a complete overhaul of the “Q”-button communications interface, with new commands, voice overs, and more.
Weapon specific accessory tweaks: accessories such as silencers, foregrips etc. will now be tweaked on a per weapon basis and not globally. All accessories are expected to be tweaked in this patch. For more, see a full list of accessory tweaks.
A fix for MAV riding will be applied
Random “Bad Luck” deaths will be fixed across all platforms.
PlayStation 3 users will see a VOIP fix
Drivers will now get 50 points for “vehicle assist kills”. Pilot assist points will be increased as well.
Sniper rifles will get increased accuracy after aiming-down with Red Dot or Holo sights.

And a few unconfirmed patch notes, but issues/features that DICE are looking into:

The USAS-12 with Frag rounds will be balanced (unconfirmed: DICE has said they are looking into it).
The resupply speed on the M320 grenade launcher might get increased, according to DICE.
Horn sounds will be added to Humvees and other transport vehicles.
Fall damage is being looked into as well.

They take their time with this patches don't they

At least that 'BAD LUCK' gooseberry fool is gone. Hopefully anyway :lol:

Yeah what's that about!? :lol:

just randomly dropping dead

BAD LUCK YOU DIED OF A STROKE

Not played this for afew weeks but will be getting back into it this week. On the patches note, have they patched out the "insta kill" MAV yet?

Dual wrote:Yeah what's that about!? just randomly dropping dead

It normally happens to me when I get in a jeep...

*gets in jeep* ... BAD LUCK

The MAV lifting and insta kill is still going on! The lift doesn't bother me, it normally results in the odd death but ultimately, your team winning the game. The mav kills are more annoying based on the drones being tough to kill. We had a knob doing it last night, so as a squad we invaded the spawn and tea bagged him... The least he deserves!

The off 'bad lucks' still occur, mildly frustrating. I've said all along, the amount of fun this game provides off sets the general minor frustrations. There was something about cod that meant I took very little joy from it, and ultimately, it wasn't fun!

Watching a mate in a jet smash air vehicles, followed by victory barrell rolls, while your painting them is so rewarding.

Usas and frag combo needs to be banned to anyone that is a colonel or above!

Why? It's total gooseberry fool now since they actually balanced it.

When was the tweak?! I've been playing this week and it still seems the number using it, especially on large maps is disproportionally high?!

I point blank refuse to use it, so wasn't aware it had been 'balanced'.

I'm waiting for the community to move onto the next OP gun, I suspect it will be my favourite, the L85A2.

Have been using the L85A2 loads recently really liking it but I can see it getting borked like other guns.

Have consoles had that patch yet?
