Battlefield 3 - PC Players Thread

Anyone worked out how to recall the chat box so you can see any convos you've missed? BC2 it used to be the ¬ key.

Also, is there a list of gun attributes? Used to be able to compare guns for power etc, cant find it (admittedly I haven't looked very hard)

Great fun, but I'm still struggling to find my feet on the infantry maps. At least I'm getting further up the leader board, 'though I still cant catch you and your mate for kills if not points. Finally realised I can actually hit things with my big feck off support LMG if I'm lying down. Standing up the thing waves around in the air like a willy at a strip club

Just played with a couple of PH faces for the first time since getting BF3 (Foobes and Boulderpaul.)

I'm still chuckling at Foobes and I approaching a T90 that had stopped to repair...I managed to get in the tank (whilst the guy was still repairing it) and Foobes went in for the knife kill. Which I stole with an AP shell

Was much more fun playing with a full squad of like minded people.

I ran like a loon, knife glinting in the sunlight...a nano second from feeling his flesh rip apart by my fair hand and steel....BOOOM...he was gone

I presume that, even though I don't have a mic, if I logged onto the Teamspeak too, I can hear what you are all jabbering on about? Might save me from a knifing I guess.

Jets are being reworked. For speed etc.

Typical, just as I start to get the hang of them (I say that as I managed my 2nd unlock and first true kill air to air...kamakazee take out excepted )

That's good news about the SMGs if true. I already find the UMP a bit of a beast.....with more damage I could probably blow up tanks with it

Late to the party, as ever, I've just swapped to the SCAR as the weapons database shows it easily the most power engineer gun. Just need to unlock the extended mag as I keep running outta bullets

FYI: Game update today, after which I was constantly getting launch error messages. Only way I could fix this was to 'repair' the game via Origin, then log off and close down Origin, then fire it all back up

[FUBAR]

Already added

Just had an epic with Russell on Firestorm. We swapped sides with all bases taken, counter ticking down against us 500 vs 300 tickets left. Awesome turnaround. PHers FTW

And I unlocked my TV guided missile thing at the end, but not had a chance to use it yet.

[FUBAR]

I'm guessing it was on that the last time a game was played and wont rotate to a new game until that one has been played?

[FUBAR]

Done

Perhaps a dumb question...

Do you have to manually add the [PH] tag before your in-game name or does it automatically do it when you join the Platoon?

You have to edit your Battlelog profile/clan id with 'PH' then it will do it for you for every game automatically

[FUBAR]

OK guys, have added a couple more of you. For those of you missing, or wanting to be added, you can do it yourselves

Quote the post, remove all unwanted text (like this babble) and remove the [quote] and

OH, and most importantly, remember to add all/any you want on Battlelog too and wait for them to accept the buddy invite

Among things I don't like. That mines will now disappear 20s after you die. Shame, I used to get some good points out of those.

Although I'm not a fan of that particular update, it was the same in BC2 and I got plenty of mine kills in there

Just played my first few games on Back to Karkand.

Last game was on Wake Island and I have a new favourite way of playing the game.

Squad up with 3 fellow PHers (In this case Foobes, RusselGrant and Danny X360) then get a soflam up (or a CITV station in a tank) one guy dropping ammo crates and the others firing off javelins from cover at targets they cant even see... flares wont help you now, heli buggers

epic

that was my first go in the citv as I'd only just unlocked it, sooooo much fun aggro'ing the enemy. Amazing how they all scuttle off when you start locking on.

I love that, pilots strutting their stuff, smashing everyone, suddenly beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeep...then watch them dive behind a hill with their tail between their legs
