I have no clue why it's taken me years to do this but binding middle mouse to the grenade slot is convenient as gently caress.

So is it just me or is the G3A3 from Conquest the sexiest assault gun at long range? It really doesn't have that much kick and becomes better when you put a 4x Acog and a Heavy Barrel. Which just happen to be the first two unlocks for it. It's basically the Assault's sniper rifle, and it hits hard enough it's good at close range. Or you could always carry something like an M320 DART, the MASS or an insane pistol like the 93R you also get from Co-Op.

Anyone else noticing that at least some of the time the hit indicators (as in, someone is hitting you) are in the wrong direction? Seems most often when running. Maybe related to the instadeath-when-running bug in the beta? Most obvious when you're firing at someone who's firing back and they appear in the position most usually reserved for being shot from behind. Either way, its pretty irritating since its already often confusing where you're being shot form...

Tunga posted:After eventually getting it to install, I figured I'd try single player. It's impossible to unbind a key, and saving any change to keybindings crashes the entire game. It says right when you click on it to hold down escape to remove the binding. I had to do it so that my joystick and steering wheel stopped trying to control me in everything.

I had one idiot this last few games who would drive off the map and kill you both. Jokes on him, I just respawned at base and got a tank for myself. Battlefield Pubbies. Seriously I don't know what it is about this game that attracts so many brain-dead morons.

WolfhoundFC posted:When you say 'with us' I'm not sure what you mean; the OP kinda bowled me over, there are a ton of different servers listed and I have no clue what this battlelog poo poo is at all. Maybe I'm a dummy but If you or someone else could tell me what to do to get up to some silly poo poo with goons as though I were a mildly retarded 2nd grader, I'd appreciate it. I didn't see anyone answer this yet. You should go ask to be invited to the Battlefield Goons Steam group. Once you're in go to BFGoons.com and sign up for the VIP list. Then install Mumble so that you can do group voice chat. Even if you don't have a mic it's helpful to coordinate teamwork. What I just did was search in the server browser for the name of each server listed in the OP, then on the right side you can click a button to save it as a favorite. Finally apply to one of the Platoons in Battlelog and friend everyone in the platoon. Once people accept your friend request you can see them in the Comm Center and click the play button to immediately join their game.

Wow, so you know how everyone thought Mortars on the first stage of Metro would make it even worse? You are so loving right. I decided to try out some of the Rush maps (Kharg, Caspian, and Damavand are actually good, and the first two allow for actual loving flanking), and Metro is just... god drat. We had four Supports spamming Mortars on pretty much everything, and the attackers just couldn't move an inch. You could tell when one of them got spotted because their entire world exploded. It was both glorious, and very, very sad.

I just did this, again, on Metro Rush. I had three Russian mortar dudes screaming at me and calling me a hacker because I would wait for them to show up on the map, and then drop a round on their face. They got mad at me because I had the indignity to move after I fired. I proceeded to do this for the majority of the round.

Everyone bitches about mortars, but they don't realize that mortars are big loving targets for other mortars. It's delightful to join a server, pull out my support kit, drop a mortar and then get "Enemy killed, enemy equipment destroyed, killstreak stopped" without even trying.

I actually had the most fun with BF3 yet on October Station tonight, because it wasn't 64-player full. It was half full, and it was more enjoyable. It was little more slower, a little more manageable. If you run a Goon server that doesn't get as much attention as the Wook family or KFS, then drop the max player count down a bit. It'd be nice to have some 32 or 40-some servers.

I wouldn't have a problem with mortars if they didn't have unlimited ammo. As they are now, they're really obnoxious on maps with bottlenecks. Also it makes Rush defense significantly more difficult.

My team was getting absolutely pummelled by mortar fire on Seine Crossing so I just thought "gently caress it" and snuck/sprinted towards their first deployment point. Managed to kill all three of them before I died from 'leaving the combat area'. It was pretty hard aiming with the screen all black and white and fuzzy with the giant text right in the middle but I pulled it off.

There needs to be a server filter checkbox for "Has friendly fire only so that dickheads can TK you if they think you're going to steal their jet even though you're heading the other direction of the map when you spawn". Besides "Custom", that is.

I don't understand why the US side on metro conquest doesn't head for the second set of escalators rather than the first set and those stairs to the side. The Russians barely defend it and once you get through you're behind their entire team. I've only seen them push through there once and the Russian team simply collapsed afterwards. Terrible map regardless.

Srebrenica Surprise posted:Yeah, if you're getting frustrated with 64p Conquest definitely hit up a 24-32p Hardcore Rush/CQ server. Rush is actually balanced with this number of players, some of the rush maps like Tehran are amazing, you won't shoot a guy three times and have him turn around and shoot you, and there's more teamwork (esp with squads). After the initial BF3  , TukTuk is going to get cranked down to 32p and the CQ/Rush "feel" will improve dramatically. TukTuk wasn't going to ever be 64p, but at the last minute I realized how insanely popular BF3 was going to be compared to the backwater that was BC2 and decided to go with 64p for launch.Also, as soon as they let us change ticket counts, 64p rush might be feasible. Majestic Bear Song posted:I cant stand normal mode. HC all the way. (i hate shooting people without them dying) Cantaloupe Island is going to skew hardcore as things move forward. Right now it's got "spawn on squad leader only" turned on

AceSnyp3r posted:When do you get extended mags? I have almost 200 kills with my RPK now and I don't have it yet. Also yeah, bipods are pretty nice, but you're kind of a sitting duck while using it. I've had better luck with the foregrip just popping out from cover, letting of a few bursts, and hiding again before I get shot in the face by a sniper. First 2 default machine guns have no extended ammo options.

The jet server was a good idea in theory, but it's just dominated by goons who want to "practice" by making GBS threads all over people who are actually new to jets and trying to learn. You can't practice when you get shot down every time within 10 seconds of being airborn.

Hadlock posted:After the initial BF3 This is great drat news. I just don't find 64p for any of the modes to be balanced or fun in anyway. It's utter chaos constantly, and the rubberbanding as well as general stutter is atrocious on all the maps. I think we should make a hard line with all the goon servers and keep them 32p maps just for sanity's sake.

The Russians barely defend it and once you get through you're behind their entire team. I've only seen them push through there once and the Russian team simply collapsed afterwards. I was on a pretty lovely team that decided to stack up on the stairs to the right, leaving the escalators mostly undefended. When we went Russian they then stacked up on the front escalator. I like the metro meatgrinder server, makes it easy to level up.
