Battlefield 3

[A.J.M]

I got accused of not being a team player last night.

Guy says, "why aren't the scottish team playing?"
My response of "listen ya bawbag, im above you flying their borrowed helicopter shooting the tanks that are trying to kill you" Didn't have the effect i wanted.



I LOVE the spaz shotgun on bazaar though. Such a good weapon now i have unlocked a few attachments for it.

Pretty sure you can't on the humvee. I got pretty frustrated yesterday up next to a humvee with no driver in just someone sat in the back on the gun. I tried shooting with a pistol and rifle and no death for the occupant and I got leathered by the 50cal (?) as I ran off.

I think you can shoot the driver of the Vodnik though as I'm sure I ahve been done like that.

Is anyone likely to be on the xbox PH server tonight? I should be on for a couple of hours this evening, 6-8ish I think. I'll try and join in with anybody on the PH server after as I've not had a good run of it recently, having to finish games early just as people are arriving due to the missus ear aching me. As Sheets quite rightly pointed out, I need to MTFU

I'll be on!

Bought the premium pack the other day. Really enjoying gun master. Also really enjoying the F2000. Managed to hammer Rush last night and unlock the PP-19(?). Seems a fun little gun.

I weakened and bought the Premium aswell and I actually think it's worth it. The Camos are a bit meh and early access to DLC isn't a game maker for me. But I love the assignments and Gun Master is quite fun. Not sure what the point of Double XP is though, nothing above 45?

Anyone on the 360 fancy some Squad Death match tonight? I really need to win a few for a assignment but joining randoms makes it impossible against a well organised squad. JimmyB206 is my gamer tag.

[youngsyr]

Not sure about the new assignments - I think a lot of people won't bother with them. I'm a bit OCD about unlocking all the achievements and even I think they're a bit of a stretch:

100 kills with the L96, including a 350m headshot?
50 MAV team spot assists?
25 AT Mine kills?
25 aircraft kills with a rocket launcher (note: not vehicle destroys, kills)?

Even getting 25 claymore kills now is difficult since they nerfed/bugged the claymores.

Seems a bit repetitive too, using the same weapons as the dogtag assignments.

The final assignment also needs around 1,200 kills spread across the classes!

[Shinobi]

I hadn't actually looked at them but they sound a bit repetitive, I quite like the ones where you have to get say 10 kills with a gun I don't use. Aircraft kills will happen eventually I guess...

25 aircraft kills with AT rocket launchers will take me for ever - if there's a lot of air traffic then I take a SAM, not a rocket launcher! It's only the scout helicopters that are even a one-shot-kill with the rocket launchers too, isn't it?

100 kills with the L96 on top of the 50 for the last assignment is going to be dull too, I've already got the 350m headshot (which I had to go well out of my way for as there aren't many maps/places where it's possible), but it is just such an average rifle. The M98B is better at range and the SVD/semi-autos are better up close.

[anonymous-user]

All that work for some fking weapon camo's?! Forget it.

They could at least offer them for different weapons, rather than the same four that already have camos to start with!

Then again, in all the time that I've played this game I haven't once looked at my soldier or weapon camo.

It'll warp people's in game behaviour for months too, I've already adapted my playing style to work towards the assignments and it will be a long time before I've finished them.

I bet you'll hardly see an engineer use a SAM or repair torch for months, they'll be too busy laying mines and firing AT rockets at passing jets!

Best keep your eyes peeled for claymores on Grand Bazaar and Metro too!

[colonel c]

Two minor rants.
If mines are still in place after you are dead, why not claymores too.
Helicopters are hard enough to destroy without having engineers on board constantly repairing them. They should be only repairable on the ground.

[Shinobi]

I will never get the sniper rifle ones, I don't like sniping so I don't do it. Shame though I am a bit of a completionist. Maybe no scoping and use it as a shotgun haha.

[DanB7290]

I'm really starting to get into the game now, MW3 has not been touched in a while!

I do have one gripe with the squad death matches though. Just playing a game now, and 2 of the other squads had 2 players in, one had a full squad of 4, and my squad consisted of just me. WTF?

Agreed, its pretty much impossible to shoot down a helicopter now. You need 3 people with SAMs targeting the same chopper!

Or 1 soflam working wookie (not just set up and left, actively searching and following helis) and a Jav user. A 3rd squad/team mate chucking down ammo is a bonus.

The warm glow of nailing a heli with a Jav is only surpassed by operating a soflam and making the pilot crash and die trying to break the lock.

PS it seems the assignments differ some between pc and console?

I think it's the same across all platforms, for Premium users. I can't seem to track progress on my Battlelog for some reason though, only in game?

[FUBAR]

Aha, I was getting the original Premium/CQ assignments confused with these new camo assignments. That's cool, I've done the others so I've got new targets to aim for (excuse the pun )

Tbh I get more hung up on trying to get all the unlocks or all the guns, to the detriment of my k/d ratio

My little rants for the evening:

First up, why in the fking fk are the Squad Deathmatch teams always unbalanced? Makes no sense to have a squad of 4 people, then 3 squads of 1 or 2 people. I'm only playing this mode to get the L85A2, much prefer conquest.

Secondly, some admins of servers are complete and utter bellends. They said no C4 or Javelin, then sat in the vehicle raping everyone. If they want an easy game, they should fk off and play Barney the fking ing dinosaur

I feel your pain. I have just got the SQDM Medal (50 wins) and it was a fking grind to say the least.

Your best bet is to get admin on a server and then you can set the tickets to around 25, balance the teams and put on some decent maps.
