Patch looks pretty good so far. Like the fixes to AA. Not sure how I feel about the shotgun tweaks. The Saiga is already pretty drat accurate. The reduced pellet count on the USAS doesn't seem so great. The 870 prob needs to be faster. I'd like it if the Defib paddles could kill, but that's prob never gonna happen. Just a few days till it's live. I'm sure something else will now be ridiculously broken.

Colorblind mode!!! and lotsa shotgun buffs. Interesting... Look out for the 1014.

Also what the gently caress is a commorose?

The Commorose is in the PC version, where you hold down a button and a menu pops up where you can select a command like "need ammo" and stuff.

So, after a few weeks hiatus, fired up BF3 again. And I think I realised why I took a break. I'm bored.

First game I join, my team is being spawncamped. After being killed soon after spawning a few times, it gets boring. Quit.

Second game I join, seems pretty balanced. But 5-10 minutes in, our team spawnlocks them. After a few minutes, come to the conclusion this isn't gonna change anytime soon, and again, it's gonna be a boring grind 'til the tickets empty. Quit.

Try some rush for a change. Play for maybe 30 minutes before getting tired of having a team of ineffective snipers as the attacking team. The name of the server? Play The loving Objective!

Without goons, the current game just gets boring/frustrating too quickly. Dunno whether I'm gonna bother with the DLC at the moment, might wait and see what the activity for it's like on the metatags before hand.

Did any non-crybabies have a problem with the level of suppression we have now? I doubt it. If anything it made support more effective. Feels good to break a spawn lock by throwing hot lead down the choke point. Besides we have squad perks for a reason.

Otherwise no complaints and I eagerly await the next unforseen game breaking bug.

So I read up that FAMAS thing and apparently if one person uses it on the server it negates everyone's stats? That would explain why they kicked me. I had no idea. I was just using it because I don't have many options on assault unlocked.

My bad. Though there's actually something hilarious about negating everyone's stats on a 300% ticket server heheh...

My recommendation is to steer clear of private servers. On PS3 I've come across a few official [] servers, I don't know how it looks on 360, but I just search for normal in the browser. There's still gonna be a poo poo list of private servers from everywhere, but so far my experience has been far better on them. That's not to say it doesn't happen, but it seems like its happening less. That said, playing with goons or people who communicate effectively CAN make all the difference, providing your team isn't woefully incompetent.

I'll be back on when the patch hits, I was sick of the DIRTY DART and am having more fun playing Gotham City Impostors at the moment. I can't stay mad at Battlefield forever though.

Added to leaderboards. The "non-goon friend" functionality got ported over from the BFBC2 leaderboards but then didn't get used because self-registration didn't allow it. But it's still there so I can add dudes you all roll with and wanna compare with.

I was enjoying my last day of skill cannons with bluedragon and Dehatsty. Then during a round of Metro, Dehatsty and I tried C4 rush all these Frenchmen clustered around the side entrance to B. I managed to pull it off but it was at the end of the round so I didn't see how many I took with me.

A trap on my server killed him once and I was so happy. He is the worst, and one of the only people that I've ever wanted to kick from my minecraft server. He got banned from our BF3 server already, I really should have kicked him.

At least 3 of them went down with you but the score screen came up so fast. That was fantastic.

Also, I don't know if it's new but the three story buildings at A on metro? You know how you can only access a small section of the third floor on each side? Well apparently once the building is blown out you can jump your way over into some otherwise inaccessible parts of the third floor and camp to your heart's content. I got myself lost in a rage filled sniper battle with some of those campers long after Begotten and Gaseous had given up on trying to break our team out of spawn lock and quit.

It comes up in the feed and everything.

Edit: I just checked in my BF3Stats.com profile and it does actually count them. If you mouse over Defibrillator it tells you I've made 45 kills with it.

Yes. The humiliation kills leaderboard includes defib kills, and I use bf3stats.com's API to feed the goon leaderboard. Obviously I cannot just magick up a stat that isn't tracked on the master servers. The only thing there that sadly is not tracked is load differentiation for the M36 and M320. So smoke launcher kills and dart kills just get lumped in with the less exciting noobtubes and masterkey kills.

Dudley's friends and goons don't cross over quite as much anymore as they did in BC2. At least I think he's fed up with us and does not join any games.

He has a long history of antagonism. The problem is some of his non-goon friends are great players and people so he joins up a lot on them.


Also to the dude's credit, he's a good player. I never lose a round on his team. He's just a very unpleasant person.

He was banned for joining the party and being a complete and utter rear end in a top hat. He was flying a chopper. Not impressed.

He even managed to be an rear end in a top hat on MINECRAFT. How the gently caress can you be an rear end in a top hat on Minecraft?

The last time I accepted a goon invite, which was probably two months ago, he turned into a raging lunatic as soon as I joined the party. He just kept yelling "Nobody wants you here! You suck! You're terrible! NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE!! WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?! WHY?!?" until the party leader finally said "Sorry guy, we've got a good team going and I can't stand listening to him" and I got kicked.

I just mute him most of the time. When he started yelling at me when I once suggested that Homefront may not end up being a very good multiplayer game, I realized that mute was the way to go.

I'll still play with him if he's on though, even if he hates you he'll still revive you/give you health.

But yes, I find it strange that he has anyone on his friends list at all.

Call it E-Triple, Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3. We’re going there, and we’re bringing both Close Quarters and Armored Kill in playable form!

This is the crew from DICE who are packing right now to bring the best of Battlefield 3 to the LA Convention Center for one week of gaming goodness.

Don’t miss the EA press conference
The E3 showfloor officially opens up on Tuesday June 5th, but Electronic Arts is giving its press conference the day before, Monday June 4th. If you’re a Battlefield fan, you don’t want to miss the EA press conference at SPIKE TV on Monday, June 4 at 4:00 PM ET/1:00 PM PT or streamed at http://www.ea.com/e3.

Don’t miss our daily E3 coverage direct from the show
You can find DICE and EA at booth #1601. If you are staying at home, you can watch the press conference, then tune in to the Battlefield Blog, our Facebook channel and @battlefield on Twitter for daily coverage straight from the show.

Hopefuly the AK gameplay will restore my faith that Dice can release some good, new content in the future.

I think you can do that if you damage a vehicle that then catches fire and slowly takes damage until it explodes and kills the player inside. If you're holding your med-kit it'll associate the kill at that time to it.

Same with setting up mines and hopping into a jet and the mine kills XP ends up attributed to the jet and possibly the kills too.
