AT's Dedicated BF3 Server and Origin List

[ArchAngel777]

Oh hey Gabe!
Yep, great games tonight!!!

Hey, I have seen you on quite a few times, normally owning me, lol.

A lot of people played last night, but we seem to be on a conquest only rotation with Tugboat. I felt like there was only a need to play engineer or maybe support (necessary to deal with vehicles).

Are the rush maps just causing lag for people or are they disliked?

Hey "Zakhail", good squadding up with you last night. Too bad we were getting pwned!

We've had rush in the rotation in the past, and we get a lot of complaints about it. Also, I don't think you can do a rush rotation on a 48-player server (others might know better). The server administrator JScmuck2 had set it to 32 players for a few days, allowing a conquest/rush mix.

I personally like rush more in theory, although there are quite a few bottlenecks in some of the maps that lead to a tide of death for one team. Not fun...might need to be tweaked by DICE a bit.

I agree that in most of the maps yesterday (other than Grand Bazaar), it's pretty much an engineer fest.

BTW, and this is to everyone who played yesterday - did people feel the teams got a bit stacked eventually? I think my team had five losses in a row. I was wondering if it might help to either do a scrambling of teams (on the admin side), or else ATOT members can voluntarily switch places on teams to mix things up.

Had great time playing with all of you guys yesterday. My username is Busyman333. I was in a good squad with Whoopy and Roadkill. Please add me to the Platoon. Looking forward to more fun tonight!

I love the mobile AA . So much fun.

Also the RPK machine gun is pretty sick. It has like no recoil.

Looking at battlog battlereports, I went 6-5 last night. There were 4 losses in a row though, as this clan [qt] came on with 3 or 4 colonels, and they were really good with vehicles. They also had some of the more troublesome ATers *Ahem* Roadkill, w00py, Xzit. :biggrin: Eventually Grand Bazaar came up and we ran them off, in probably one of the biggest comebacks I've ever played in. Down 120-270, and ended up winning something like 30-0.

But anyways, I'm not sure if scrambling is a good idea. If you come in as a party you should stay in the party. If someone asks me to switch I'll switch...in the next game.

Ok - I didn't stick around to see any wins! I certainly didn't think anyone was playing dirty - there were just some folks who were clearly pretty experienced on one side.

I agree that scrambling would be the nuclear option. Not one to use lightly. Maybe a bit of ATOTer flip-flopping would help in the future.

Also, while odds are this won't happen, we should be careful about having a matchup where most or all ATOTers are on one side. Doesn't look good on the AT server.

 

[Childs]

Well, there were at least 3 ATers on my side. Niz, who was in beast mode (44-14), myself, and Zak. So it looked even clan tag wise. A couple times I have come in where most of the ATers are on one side, but it evens out after a game or two.

 

[akahoovy]

Hey Termie, it was good playing with you. I admit I got frustrated at that series of losses, so I quit and rejoined about two hours later. At that time it still seemed stacked, but there were only two or three ATers playing.

I was just wondering about the maps because I get burned out trying to do vehicle control by placing all my mines every time I respawn and continuously firing rockets to try and down other vehicles. I didn't have anyone to coordinate with so it was very tough. I really wish there was easy voice chat in-game.

Next time I'll try to remember to set up a party for voice chat. It's worked before - even if just two people are on it, that's better than nothing.

I agree about the vehicle control - I was getting wiped out trying to take out tanks. I also saw tanks go over or right next to my mines several times without taking damage. Frustrating...I wonder if the treads actually have to hit the mines. I've definitely hit plenty of tanks before with mines, but these I actually saw in the kill cam. Also, I almost never get kills with mines. It's always a disable, unless I've put two mines right next to each other.

Edit: the BF3 mythbusters video that was linked in the other thread showed that you could actually prone under a tank but not under a jeep. I wonder if that means the tank model actually has empty space underneath it, which could allow it to roll over not only people, but mines...

I only played a couple games but we were pretty much getting spawn camped in both so it was really one sided for a bit. It really sucks when this happens on some maps once the mortars get setup.

I thought we had fun last night... That was the reason why I stayed on the opposing team against most of the ATers so it didn't seem stacked - if I recalled WacoJohnnie, Nizley, Bill and other ATers had monster scores in Grand Bazaar... I don't remember our team winning 4 in a row - but I did remembered that monster comeback on Grand Bazaar... ovearall I thought most of the games were pretty close and could have gone either way...

I had a fun squad last night with woopy and busyman... On heavy vehicle maps I spent a majority of my time as cannon fodder drawing fire from opposing tanks so our tank would win the tank fight (I actually jumped out of the tank gunner position and was trying to C4 the tanks but Zakhail and others killed me before I could), trying to sneak up to Zakhail to C4 his AA to keep him off our air vehicles but he catches me most of the time... if I did managed to get the C4 on somehow I managed to kill myself too because I would run away and the vehicle move towards me when I activate the C4...

 

[Childs]

Oh, it was fun. But it did feel one sided for a bit. It might not have been 4 in a row. It looks like the reports may not be sorted by the actual time, just the general hour it was played. Oh look....here is the game in question. Destiny, you keep messing with my stats bro. lol You had me 4-1 in this game. But the next time on Bazaar I get payback. :biggrin:

I think Bazaar is the next Karkand. Total bloodbath with few vehicles. Reminds me of the 24/7 Karkand Infantry only servers I used to play on back in the day.

 

[akahoovy]

I've watched several vehicles trying to figure out how mines behaved in BF3. I've concluded that the body of the vehicle must go over the mine. A single mine I think will destroy a regular jeep, getting a kill. Everything else though will need two mines to disable and destroy.

In BC2, vehicles only had to go near mines to set them off, like within a two or three meter radius. I could hide mines very well because of that. Now its a little more difficult as I'm having to really study where vehicles will have blind spots.

The best places are where there are piles of debris, like the bricks, paper, pipes or in small patches of grass in the middle of a road. Another option is at the inside of a sharp turn, its a blind spot for a fast moving vehicle or one that is chasing someone, the mines need to be out of LoS on one side of the barrier. My best trick is to hide them in the shadows of trees on the road.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

What I found works the best is placing about 3 mines together in paths towards the flags. Or if there's a vehicle spawn I'll drop 3 in front of it lol so enemies will sometimes hop in and drive right into the mines. Usually with my mine loadout I'll use the explosives perk.

That Grand Bazaar match was pretty awesome. I think our downfall was we got a little hung up on the Alley halfway through and your armored players controlled some of the other points really well.

No one on the Tugboat tonight? I can't really play, but I'll help it get started.

Would have done it earlier except I was riding a win streak on one of the infantry servers I've been trying to grind guns on. Finally unlocked IR on assault, gack. Also learned that taking the middle objective first basically assures victory in a lot of these maps, because there isn't enough heavy punch to take out a fortified bottleneck. The vehicle versions are more fun.

You have a better shot joining a friend than just popping in.

My apologies QuantomPion... I promise next time I am on your team I will turn on beast mode - and not trying to fly jets and crashing/suicide..:$
