  Console Custom Servers Now Available! Check the 2P for a list of goon run console servers.This BF3 thread is for console players. If you are a mouse clicker, you should be in the PC thread instead. Feel free to post in either, but please leave platform supremacy flamewar bullshit out of both. Yes, we know that we are playing inferior versions. Some people can’t afford gaming PCs and others just prefer couches and TVs. If you’re here this far after release, you probably already know that this is a game about shooting mans, etc. So we’ll skip that level of information and use this OP to answer those questions which continue to be axed frequently.  How do I find goons to play with slash look at some numbers?No, there is no IRC channel, nerd. And please don’t make a whole post that just says, “I’m playing now if anyone is interested.” We have a system here for organizing goon games. First, register yourself at battlefieldgoons.com (if you’re a console player, that is; PC crew is at bfgoons.com). Your stats will be pulled from the API at the excellent Dominik Herbst site, bf3stats.com, and added to our goon database. Click on your XBL/PSN name in the leaderboard to view your individual record on the P-Stats network. You can also see some personal stats on EA’s Battlelog site. If you’re on PS3, you should next filter the leaderboard to PS3 and sort by hours played and send friend requests to a few of the top dudes. They will then work you into the PS3krew games. If you play on Xbox 360, we offer moderated metatags for your convenience. Registering at battlefieldgoons.com under the 360 platform will present you with an additional option to request an invite (completely optional). If you decide to join them later and didn’t request to do so when you first registered for the stats site (e.g. you didn’t know what a metatag was; see below), just PM me or post your gamertag in the thread and ask for an invite, but you must be registered for stats. The metatags are tied to the site’s database, which is constantly refreshed. Any players who have not played recently will be deactivated from the site and dropped from the metatags to make space for new players. This keeps the metatags as useful as possible by eliminating the noise that would otherwise be caused by players who move on to other games. If this happens to you and you wish to return to the community, simply redo self-registration to reactivate your record. Also, please check the metatag filtered 360 leaderboard before requesting an invite to ensure you are not already on one. It takes a nonzero amount of time for me to login to the metatags’ friends lists and pull up your gamertag only to see “Remove Friend” under it, and that just makes me cranky. There are a few different Battlelog platoons bouncing around (360, PS3, PS3), but they are pretty much worthless to console players.  How do I use a 360 metatag once I’m on it?This isn’t specific to this game, but it gets asked a lot in the thread so here is a brief explanation for the uninitiated. When you are ready to play Battlefield with us, boot the game and then press your controller’s guide button. Click Friends, and then click on your metatag. Hit RB to switch to the Friends-of-Friend tab. You can see a list of who is online and what they are playing. Find someone playing BF3 and click them. Wait for their status to update at the bottom right of your guide and see if it changes to “Online – Joinable”. If not repeat with another player. If so, back out to the list again, and then click on the same person a second time. The Guide runs in a very limited and tightly budgeted sliver of memory. It caches the current status (e.g. Ruin Runner is playing BF3; joinable) for your friends. But for friends-of-friends (i.e. metatag friends lists) it only tests the joinability of players if you click on them. The context menu will now include the “Join Session in Progress” option that was missing before (because the Guide had not yet polled that person’s status). If nobody is joinable, try starting a new squad and inviting people. You can usually feel free to invite anyone who isn’t playing another multiplayer game or watching Netflix. You could also sit around and wait for someone who needs players to invite you, but this may prove somewhat less effective. This may all seem loving complicated, but it clicks through pretty fast once you get the hang of it. Granted, it would be better if platform makers would just implement a clan system to handle this natively. How do I gain access to all the guns and stuff?Most weapons and gadgets are unlocked through normal multiplayer scoring, either overall or kit-specific. The last weapon unlocks at 1.6M total score, which at 350 SPM would take just over 75 hours. This time around there is also a two player co-operative mode through which more unique weapons can be unlocked for use in the competitive modes. The number of points needed here has thankfully been lowered to just 86,000 from the absurd level the game launched at. The Type 88 LMG can only be had as part of the Physical Warfare Pack, which was a retailer exclusive pre-order bonus at launch but is now available free to all players through the in-game store (or XBLM & PSN store). The M1911 pistol is available exclusively from EA’s Gun Club site. All you need to do to get it is register for the site and link your EA account. And finally, the Back to Karkand expansion pack introduced some additional new weapons which must be unlocked through “Assignments” that make you do things you don’t particularly want to do. This pack was free to owners of the game’s Limited Edition (first print run) and is available for purchase through XBLM and the PSN store for everyone who was late to the party or bought a second-hand copy. → Update: Scarf says, “You can now spend your hard-earned weekly allowance from your lovely parents to unlock every weapon/gadget in the game. This includes the T-88 from the physical warfare pack, and all the Co-Op guns. And I’m pretty sure it unlocks all of the Karkand weapons too. Not only that, but the ‘ultimate unlock bundle’ also contains every single vehicle upgrade. Who needs to play a game when you can just throw money at it? (Unsure if this applies to weapon attachments.)” ed. note: I’m not linking to the XBLM page for this poo poo because none of you should buy it.  This game is more about party palms than gun selection. OK, I have them all; now which one’s the best?They all feel practically identical in the context of normal gameplay. The attachments have more of an affect on handling characteristics than the base weapon you choose (see breakdown chart below). If the Caulidoody part of your brain compels you to look at spergy details about the minute differences, then our ol’ pal DenKirson will, of course, oblige you with his findings on the last xanga site in existence. And there is also this newcomer, Symthic, who provide some weird accuracy charts and such. Basically though they’re all pretty samey within a given class, in classic  fashion. There are a few that are actually better than the pack, which is to say broken. Until they are inevitably nerfed, you may have better-than-average luck using the top few weapons on this list. Build-a-bear to perfectly suit your play style, you unique snowflake, you. What does this “skill” rating mean, and how is it calculated?Often someone will notice their position on the skill leaderboard fluctuating wildly and ask in the thread what this even means. This number is an implementation of what the chess and backgammon communities refer to as an Elo rating, an algorithm for ranking player skill in head-to-head contexts named for physics professor Dr. Arpad Elo and having nothing to do with the musical geniuses behind Mr. Blue Sky. In Battlefield 3, this statistic is recomputed after every one-on-one shootout a player encounters. Consider: you turn down a corridor in Grand Bazaar and find yourself face-to-face with an enemy, and you both start shooting. Each of you has a particular Elo rating before the encounter. If yours is higher than your opponent’s, you are the favorite; otherwise you are the underdog. Bullets change hands and one of you dies (whichever of you forgot to bring your USAS, I guess). Both of your Elo ratings will now be recalculated, with the survivor’s rating increasing some (more if he was the underdog and less if he was the favorite) and the deceased’s rating decreasing. This statistic, therefore, has nothing to do with the extent to which you are helping your team win the match and everything to do with how good you are at aiming. The most skilled players are probably using FPS Freeks (well worth the  in the opinion of this OP and many others here) with their sensitivity jacked up high above the default. Smelly tells you how to adjust the Freeks. They may also be experienced Caulidoody players who’ve honed their twitch reflexes over the years to a razor-fine edge sharper than the devil himself. …or they may be MAV whores. Basically, this is just another number like all the other numbers. The leaderboard has more than one column for a reason. Pay attention to the ones you like, ignore the ones you don’t, and just have fun.Which advanced dog tag is the best, and how do I get it?It is obviously the six wolf moon one, and the only way to unlock it so far is through a US Dr. Pepper promotion. The caps with the codes ceased distribution at the end of 2011. Now that the promotion has ended it is unclear how or even if the tag will be unlocked. You might just have to use an inferior one. There is also a pretty good metal one to be had by sitting through some movie trailer and a not-too-shabby Tyrannosaurus rex one that came in a retailer specific pre-order bundle (from Amazon, in the US). No idea whether those will ever be available to everyone either.    Where in the menus do I set my awesome clan tag?You can’t find it in the in-game menus because it’s not in there. The only way to set a clan tag (i.e. make [LLJK] appear before your name on the scoreboard) is through EA’s Battlelog site. I suppose they are trying to incent console players to register there for some raisin, who knows. Which headset do you guys recommend for PS3 players?Most of our PS3krew here seem to use and recommend the official Sony wireless or bluetooth headsets whenever this question comes up. If I’m new to this game, what tips and strats would you suggest I keep in mind?
 …or go back to your haloes. I hear vehicles are important in Battlefield; how do I play them effectively?
  Learning the nuances of vehicle mobility can also help. Where can I go to practice flying a helo?So you don’t want to be this guy, but you have discovered that DICE once again failed to include a 1943 style local sandbox server option here. Your best bet is to load up the second cooperative mission, “Fire from the Sky”, and hope that you are randomly chosen as the pilot. If you can’t find any pubbies with enough patience to abide your learning, you can solicit experienced chopper pilots here to go out with you and offer helpful guidance. You should also check out a tutorial video or two on Youtube before you get started. You should also read Downfall’s ace guides to piloting scout helicopters and attack helicopters. Nashlogic points out, “It seems that a lot of people don’t know that in hardcore mode you can press down on the d-pad and look around with the right stick while flying. This helps with the lack of 3rd person view.” → Update: Scarf says, “Instead of firing up the Co-Op mission, you can now use your server browser to find an empty server running a vehicle/air map, and just gently caress around as long as they don’t have a spawn timer (most don’t). You won’t earn points for any unlocks, but you can fly/drive around until your heart’s content.” Where can I go to practice flying a jet?You’re out of luck on that one. You will just have to jump in and learn on the job. But first read through Rivarz’s Goon’s Guide to Piloting jets (and also GruntyThrst’s addendum) so you’re not totally clueless out there. → Update: See previous FAQ’s update. If I’m new to this whole franchise, how would you summarize it?…with battlefield.flv: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOaGhE_sejI  That was awesome! Apart from that, who makes the best BF3 videos?This guy right here. Unquestionably. I killed that guy who was C4 rushing my tank, so how did I blow up ten seconds later?In the last patch, DICE saw fit in their infinite wisdom to make C4 persist after death. If you’re killed between deploying your bricks and blowing them, all you have to do is respawn Support again and squeeze your detonator for sweet, sweet reincarnation points. There seems to be some effective radius or other factor causing it not to work 100% of the time, but nobody has nailed this down yet. It may just be buggy. (Note: this is due to be fixed in an upcoming patch.)  Now with two chances to make sacrifice to glorious Allah!  How do spawn beacons work? Or, Why did I spawn facing a wall and get shot in the back?The recon class has the ability to place down one spawn bacon in the field. Once it is placed, the recon’s squadmates can spawn on the bacon instead of its owner as long as it is in play. It is important to note that if they are not in a squad then any teammate can spawn on it (this is handy if you are grinding recon points or radio medals). If the recon respawns on his own bacon it will be destroyed (he can throw another one down in the same location, of course). It can also be destroyed by enemy fire or explosives. The most important and overlooked factor to note here is that players will spawn facing the same direction the recon was facing when the bacon was placed. So be courteous and back into a quiet corner before dropping your sizzling, crispy box of radio goodness. What exactly counts as an “MCOM defense kill” for this last ribbon I still need?First you must be on defense (in Rush, obviously). Second you must kill an enemy soldier between the time when he begins to arm and the time when his meter fills up and your alarm begins to sound. This is an incredibly small window, making these kills somewhat hard to come by. Hopefully DICE will eventually relax this to include kills within a small proximity of the objective, regardless of arm/defuse state, or at least credit attackers with analogous disarmer kills. But until that happens, the most effective method of achieving these kills discovered so far seems to be the following: surround your MCOM with C4, hide close enough nearby to listen for the distinct arming sound, and then blow your C4 the second you hear it. You need to do this four times in a single match for the ribbon though, and the enemy will eventually catch onto your ruse and start clearing your C4 with their own grenades and RPGs prior to going in for the arm. If this happens, other close range one-hit-kill weapons like 870 buckshot will also kill quickly enough for you to pop out of the closet like a gorilla out of loving nowhere. If you have the patience to grind out fifty of these for the medal, you should strongly consider a career as a dynamite fuse assembly line quality assurance inspector.  This is how GruntyThrst arms a drat MCOM. How in the hell are these people killing dudes with the medic shock paddles‽Mr Man demystifies the process for us through the judicious application of science!  How in the hell are these people killing dudes with the recon drone‽P.N.T.M. tells all in his excellent guide to becoming a MAV-avore, Doctor Beach Ball, or how I learned to stop sniping and love the MAV.  How in the hell are these people killing dudes with WALL-E™, the bomb squad robot‽Well… largely they aren’t. It’s pretty hard to do. But if you have your heart set on it, be sure to catch General_Failure’s excellent guide to “Using the Battlefield 3 EOD effectively”. UPDATE! The rent-a-server patch greatly improved the handling characteristics of the EOD bot thereby improving its efficacy as a killing machine. In light of these changes, SporkTSI offers an updated guide he calls “Call of Pelswick: Wheelchair Warfare” (reference).  Doin’ work, son! Why did my Xbox 360 just hard-lock?You probably made the foolish mistake of trying to get inside an abandoned vehicle near the Charlie flag on Nosehair Canals Conquest. Don’t do that. Where are the vehicles for the Jackhammer assignment found?For the final Back to Karkand assignment (to unlock the MK3A1 auto-shotgun) you need five kills with the DPV jeep and ten kills with the BTR-90 IFV. The jeeps are scattered around a few of the expansion maps. They are the ones with the big spare wheel above the cockpit (see link for picture). The infantry fighting vehicle you are looking for is rather rarer. It is only available in Conquest and CQA modes on the four-flag version of the Gulf of Oman map. One spawns at the back of the construction site (Charlie flag) when it is Russian controlled, and the other spawns at the Russian airfield. How do I quit back out to the menu from the post-match stats screen? Manatee Cannon posted:I like to think that DICE's motto is "if it ain't broke, break it."

It's pretty funny to me that I'm even in the top 10 recon list for kit leaders when all I did was go balls out with the PDW-R and G18 for however long it took to grind the class service star. That and I played with the MAV for like a day. That recon stint made me fall in love with the PDW-R though so I made it my main engineer weapon as well. Now I'm the biggest whore with it apparently. I should probably try to play with some carbines and shotguns for some fresh ribbons.

Great new Op. I think we should have a paragraph or two about not sucking as a newb. Like the other poster said. Explain spotting, Dropping ammo etc. A paragraph each on Air vehicles, Land etc. we could even have a pool of suggested strategies for each map on each mode. Or Points of interest, Secret spots.

I want to see who is consistently good at every gun/look at my name and wank. This comes up now and again, but I've still never figured out a good way to do it. Essentially I would have to scrape my own site or constantly re-materialize a view for each chart, both of which would utterly destroy the site's performance. If there are any other developers out there in the community who want to chat with me about this, I'm on SynIRC as Beelzebozo throughout the Eastern US work day. cats blood posted:Great new Op. Yes, these are all great ideas. (And thanks to muckswirl too even though I didn't quote his post.) If any of our better players wants to draft some copy for this stuff and PM it to me that would be appreciated. Otherwise I will take a stab at it, but I am not actually the best Battlefield player here. I'm better at running the community than the actual game itself.  edit: vvv I care.  I'm always interested in reading strat posts by our better players. Whenever I have the good fortune to squad up with dudes like TriangularDuck and willshark/Oiwoy I usually follow them around in awe, taking mental notes of everything from their routes to kits to engagement selection.

I'd do a write up about useless bush wookie game play, but  and you guys don't care anyway.

Sorry crew, my connection dropped me. Figured it's time to rummage up some more food. Being terrible at this game is exhausting.

Tips to not stinking at BF: -Play with your squad, shoot the same dudes they shoot. Hit back/select when you see an enemy dude you can't kill instantly, this marks them with the dorito of death for your dudes to see and shoot and give you points. -If you are support or assault hit left on your DPad a lot and drop ammo and health on friendly dudes. You get lots of points. -If you are an engineer hit right on your DPad when near a friendly vehicle and fix it for points. -If you are recon hit start and go to the menu option marked suicide. Press A/X and come back as a useful class that can get points.
