Needs a CITV station, I want it badly!!!

My mate and fellow PHer Blue Oyster has one of these. Maybe we should recreate a scene from BF3

Was blue Oyster the chap who went to scotland to get it? Remember a great thread on here about it with udates on the motorway/services about progress.

If I won the lottery I would have to have one of these in the garage with the ferarri's etc.

also what sensitivity settings do people use on the PS3? Might have to hop on the PH server when its empty and experiment. The dual shock seems to not behave linearly... the first few mm of travel translate to quite a slow movement, then you reach a point where your cross hairs are whizzing about without control. I wish I'd kept my 360... controllers were much better and much more predictable. Are there any good third party controllers that are good with FPS games? (I've found the aiming similar on lots of other FPS style games like Fallout 3 and Resistance 3. On the Xbox I could manually run and gun quite well in fallout, on the PS3 I have to VATS most of the time because I can't control the sticks)

The PS3 suffers from major input lag with BF3. That is probably what you are experiencing. It is all over the EA BF forums.

If anything it is too twitchy on the Xbox.

Just seen the Katy perry "part of me" music video. Watch it - the second half will remind you of BF3.

Some great games on the PS3 server this afternoon...only jumped on to play for half an hour, but 4 hours later and I've only just switched it off.

[Doofus]

So is there a PH server on PS3? If so, where do I find it, and am I allowed on?

Yes, go to search and look up Pistonheads. Anyone can join

I've added it as a favourite so it's easier to find.

How do you unlock the CITV station? is it one of the tank unlocks?

Last tank unlock, but its a perm item you don't equip it. It's just on by default if you have it.

[A.J.M]

Yeah, some good matches this afternoon, seine in my tank was dominating the russians at times.

Oh and i stole the US apache on firestorm. Killed 1 guy and roadkilled a 2nd just before it with my jet.

I'll have a look later, thanks!

I expect it'll be full though...

[Joyrider1]

And join the [PH] platoon at Battlelog too...

[Doofus]

What's Battlelog?

[Acehood]

Been running around with a tactical light and getting way more kills in close quarters. Feel like a tt for doing it but why not

[anonymous-user]

Finally unlocked the MK3A1 shotgun today and it's quite a giggle It's like the socially-acceptable brother of the USAS, you can mow down entire rooms full of people but without feeling guilty about it.

Go to battlelog.battlefield.com and sign up, you can then view all your stats / unlocks etc and joing the Pistonheads Platoon which gives you the [PH] in front of your PSN name

Couple good games this eve. Just finished a long metro game - was great to begin with until everyone got the shotguns out. Kind of ruined it - pesky kids sat in the dark waiting for you to run past.

Pexy cleaned up as usual, however I suspect he had an auto shotgun out aswell!!

Just noticed I cannot seem to select any of the B2K maps whether I go to server browser, quick match etc. The only B2K map showing is Gulf of Oman....Odd.

Anyone else having the same issue? I'm on Xbox.

[youngsyr]

How good a weapon is the 93R post patch?!

I've been trying the to unlock the sniper medal past few hours of gaming and I've made some assault and support guys look very silly with it when they've tried to storm my position.

My handgun ribbons are now racking up faster than my sniper ones!

I've even taken out a helicopter's mini-gunner with it!

So you're a PH'er as well! You got me good a couple of times on Sharqi last night ([PH]almason86).

Had a wicked game though. Was so much fun.

Highlights include:

Killing PeXy a couple of times (think I got him once or twice on Gulf of Oman).

Finding myself in the little bird at the start of the sharqi round. I promptly crash landed it at MCOM A and got it stuck right in the ground floor! haha The other team tried to take it after I bailed, but it wasn't going anywhere.

Pexy got in the little bird at one point. This I know is a bad thing because he's bloody excellent with it. Me n my Squad then camped on the crane to try take him out. Which I think we did.

I think it was Flank_Shank, but not sure, who later on tried to get the little bird out of the building where the second set of MCOM's were. It was at A which was being well defended (I managed about 4 kills just pot shotting the area! and people were playing silly buggers with the RPGs) and I saw it sandwiched on the ground floor and someone got in it and tried to get it out. I had a clear shot when I switched to the RPG and then had to reload it by which time he'd sorta got it out. By now the little bird was obscured from view by some trees. I aimed up a little (was a fair distance) and fired, pot luck. Took the bd out!!! was very happy with that.

Managed to actually climb that building on Gulf of Oman, with the swimming pool, to find a lone sniper..... got him with the knife. Shoulda moved though because he spawned across the map and took me out about 30 seconds later.

Managed plenty of sneak up attacks and I think switching to a hand gun with a torch does wonders for you. I've had it done to me (even in the bright desert day light) and those torches practically obscure 80% or so of your FoV. Thats ridiculous! And I love hiding from tanks, only for the tank to blow away whatever it is you were hiding behind, leaving you standing there like a lemon, with nowt to do but take the next round in the face.
