It's too bad theres no unlocks for the rocket launchers. It would have been cool to get a scope or two - maybe some anti personal rockets or something. They just seem so bland compared to the shittons of unlocks for your main rifles.

Hey what was that way to grind out Coop points? This thread moves way to fast and I can't find it.

Explosives perk also increases the amount of mines you can carry, and there is no limit to how many you can have out. So many random kills from mines just lay them everywhere vehicles spawn and chokepoints. Tunnels on Damavand or just about anywhere on Kharg is devastating to enemy armor.


Your making GBS threads us. Seriously unlimited mines? Here I was concerned about the 6 despawn like BC2 had.

Has anyone compared the accuracy between bipod and fore grip (especially for support) I've been figuring out good spots to bipod out until I get the grip but I *think* accuracy is much better bipoded. Is this true?

Only video I could find on youtube. No helicopter, sorry.

Nobody uses the thing, to be honest. I kinda lucked into discovering how loving ridiculous the frag shells are and now I don't use any other weapon. It kills more effectively at any range than a loving machinegun and you can aim at the floor and kill people with the splash damage alone, and it has amazing suppression on top of that. It's absolutely perfect and I hope they never change it.

Jesus christ that looks amazing

Yeah my AA stats are pretty pathetic as well. I really don't think they need a nerf at all.
Half the time if I get a hit it's just a disable and they fly out of range and either bail out or crash into the ground not granting me any kind of kill.

Igla: 95 Shots - 8 Kills
Stinger - 128 Shots - 4 kills (Bah!)

So the G3 now only takes 160,000 points (the other two being 17,000 and 120,000) instead of 460,000 points.... what were the good coop mission tricks to grind out the G3?

Well thats a welcome change. I had enough to automatically unlock for me.

Apparently the best way was the last mission first stage - Run until the bomb and fail it.

Quick question: These new assignments, can they only be completed on the new B2K maps or can they be done at anytime?

As fun as old maps would be i'd would much rather have them make new interesting maps (With older path design not the grinder of the current BF3 maps) The old maps are fun but just a rehash. I'd love to see new and more interesting maps.

Of course it might be easyish to convert old maps but I bet not considering we have to deal with 4 gig patches still.

If you're good enough with a tank it's basically a railgun at less than 100 metres.

Holy poo poo thats neat. Interesting to see his stats. He's literally never set foot outside of a vehicle except for a handful of times.

Do guided shells in tanks work at all without SOFLAM? I dicked around with it for a little while and wasn't able to even begin locking onto anything, regardless of whether it was airborne or on land.

They will eventually lock onto land targets but it takes forever

Speaking of smoke, when shooting a locked up vehicle does it drop a missile lock like it used to in BC2?

*edit* sorry meant the M320 smoke. You used to be able to smoke off tracers with the grenade smoke

Welp i'm done for a bit at least until they patch. Apparently theres some bug with hyperthreaded cpus that I just can't fix. Massive spikes, dropped fps every few minutes makes it unplayable.
Clean windows 7 install
clean Bf3 install
Latest ATI drivers
Even disabling hyperthreading in the bios, absolutley nothing running the background during the game.

I would use the bipod if they:

1. Cut out the buggy auto-deploy poo poo and just made a simple and reliable manual deploy button

2. Made it deploy instantly or nearly instantly


No kidding. It would be nice but probably overpowered to be able to slam against a car/wall/window and have the bipod already usable.

SQDM really is the worst thing in this game. It's that same frustrating feeling when you get shot in the rear end and killed, but constantly, and for 20 minutes.

No kidding, and they even made a weapon unlock around it. Really Dice?

One of the best parts of this patch is the removal of the Semi auto bug. you can spam away all you want.
Makes the Sniper semis with a RDS way more fun now.

If they are going to get rid of running and gunning for the LMGs it would make sense to keep mondo suppression for them, just not for all the guns. Also they should make mortars suppress a huge area to give them an actual use.

You know that makes way too much sense, something that Dice seems to lack.

But your right, if the point of the MG's is to suppress then give them an advantage and make the mortar slightly more useful.

I saw this guy on the leaderboard

Too bad he got a few kills with weapons, otherwise it's a hilarious gimmick.

This kind of poo poo is literally only possible if they made that change and did zero QA whatsoever. And of course, it won't be patched until July at the earliest.


No kidding. It sometimes feels like Dice just smashed the keyboard a few times in the source code and called it a day. How the hell can something like this change so drastically?

I don't suppose theres a new round of cheats or something out? I swear i'm just getting absolutely destroyed and i'm an above average player. Dudes instantly wasting me coming around corners even if i'm showing them very little. Either i've turned sucky, or the players got better.
