whats teh AT platoon?
whats teh AT platoon?
I think the platoon is full though. Someone could start an at2 or something.
Well ive come to a conclusion about the LMG's. M240B actually seems better at range, M249 will hit enemies more but wont kill them as much they will scurry off and hide whereas the M240B will actually kill them as long as you shoot 1 bullet at a time.
Also M240B + extended mag = fecking rambo when up close, dont even bother aiming down the sights sometimes :awe:
<3 support!
I see the new server filters are up, and infantry only is available. Playing on a 1k ticket infantry only 64 player server and it's like I am experiencing a whole new game. It owns.
Lol, last night I spawned at the Alley flag on that Market map.. in one of the side rooms. As l looked out into the alley itself all I saw was RPGs flying back and forth. At least 6 in the span of like 4 seconds.
I think this was it:Interesting...can you filter by tickets? If not can you link the server or list its name?
Oooo - this makes me look forward to the M240 then as you just described my two biggest gripes with the M249
Oh - and how do you shoot more than one bullet at a time? :sneaky:

Yeah - that hallway is always awash with rockets.
so, i noticed a while back that if you die and get a revive, but immediately die again before you can "accept" the revive or just respawn, you only get 1 death counted against you. that seems fair since you have to press E to reject the revive and it takes a few seconds. my question is, does the shooter just get 1 kill or two and does my teams ticket bleed 1 or 2. it was a busy game so i couldnt tell on the tickets. im assuming its just 1 kill credit and 1 ticket loss
Lol yea that was me. The entire round I was killed by nothing but SCARs. What really pissed me off was when it was me and someone else waiting ready for someone to come around a corner. The guy pops around the corner with his silenced SCAR and instant death for both of us. Couldn't get a single shot off and they weren't headshots either.Out of curiosity, on Tugboat are you the one who typed "f*** this broken infantry!" then bailed? :biggrin:

They probably need to limit the number of rockets you have like grenades. Also I saw someone mention the arm distance on those but I got hit by one last night from like 5 feet away. Seems like the minimum arm distance is just enough so you don't blow yourself up...

We hope that all of you are enjoying Battlefield 3! We believe it's the best Battlefield game to date and we're continuing to improve the online experience every day with the support of our DICE Operations team. We'd like to tell you more about the exciting future of Battlefield 3.
First off, here are the latest improvements we are rolling out to Battlefield 3 as we write this.
Squad Functionality: Improved!
Today, we rolled out a number of fixes that will improve squad functionality. Specifically these fixes will improve squad stability and lessen the risk of your squad getting split up when joining a game. Keep gaming, and keep sending us your feedback so we can hunt down any outstanding squad issues.
Default Server Region Setting: Improved!
In the manual server browser on Xbox 360, there was an issue where US players would sometimes be defaulted to European servers. We rolled out a fix for this today. You can still set your preferred region(s) in the server browser, and it's a great tool to find your favorite servers, game modes, and gamer friends. Check out this handy guide for everything you can do with the console server browser, and let us know what you think!
Game Stability: Improved!
Today, we rolled out fixes for several game crash issues. Let us know if this fixes any issues you have had.
Go Back to Karkand in December!
Our dedicated Back to Karkand team continues to make awesome progress on this expansion pack, which will be available in December at no extra charge to everyone who pre-ordered Battlefield 3. If you didn’t pre-order, you’ll be able to purchase it for $14.99, 1200 Microsoft Points, or the equivalent in your local currency, at the same date.
It contains four of the most loved Battlefield 2 maps boldly re-imagined in Frostbite 2: Gulf of Oman, Sharqi Peninsula, Strike at Karkand, and Wake Island. You'll also get to patrol the battlefield with your favorite Battlefield 2 vehicles and weapons, and the expansion pack also features the return of the exciting variation on Conquest called Conquest Assault (more on that later). And for those of you who love your persistence, you'll get new "Assignments" to complete for unlocks (we'll talk more about Assignments soon)!
Congratulations to Battlefield fan Simon W for naming and claiming our new control point!
We asked and you delivered! We asked our creative community to name one of the redesigned control points on the upcoming Back to Karkand map Gulf of Oman. We had over 18,000 submissions and tons of fantastic suggestions. However, there can only be one winner and that winner is Simon W. His control point name suggestion was Veteran's Retreat, which will be featured in the Gulf of Oman map in the Back to Karkand expansion pack in December. Back to Karkand Lead Designer Niklas Fegraeus calls it "a great suggestion that gives our veteran Battlefield fans a well-deserved nod while fitting perfectly with the map theme." Congratulations, Simon, and thanks for helping us out with the name!
Physical Warfare Pack for all
All of our players will be happy to know that Physical Warfare Pack will be available to everyone in the future! The Physical Warfare Pack contains the Type 88 LMG, DAO-12 Shotgun, SKS Sniper Rifle flash suppressor, and flechette ammunition for the DAO-12 Shotgun. Stay tuned to the Battlefield Blog for more information on exact timing for this.

Probably because there's so many people that have just the base weapons playing people with a bunch of unlocks. Should probably even out as the game ages.Is anyone else seeing a serious lack of good close rounds? Doesn't really seem to matter the server or time of day but I can't remember the last time a round ended and one team hadn't just completely dominated the other.
This actually seems on par with the BFBC2 Vietnam expansion. I'm wondering if classic conquest assault means actual BF2 style gameplay...
Conquest: Double Assault
Each team starts with at least one control point. All control points on the map are capturable and capturing more than half of the flags will inflict ticket bleed.
Conquest: Assault Lines
A new gamemode variant exclusive to the Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike booster pack, this gamemode is similar to Assault. The EU team begins with a single, uncapturable base, while the PAC team has all the remaining control points. However, the PAC home base cannot be captured unless the EU team controls all the other flags on the map, forcing more defense onto flags that have already been captured. If the PAC flag is captured, all players on the EU team receive an award. However, if the PAC manages to recapture a base, the round will continue. If they recapture their home base, the EU is eligible to receive the award again.
Conquest: Double Assault Lines
A new twist on a twist. This gamemode has only been seen following the Battlefield 2142 1.40 patch on the Highway Tampa map. The only difference to Assault Lines is that both teams now have a base that is uncapturable until all the other flags are taken.
- In Assault play in either of the Assault Lines modes.
- In Conquest Assault, which is identical to normal Assault in both its coding and function, the PAC starts with one uncapturable flag (an immobile titan), while the EU starts off with the rest of the flags and an immobile titan which can be captured by PAC.
LOL, yeah, i gotta stop raging at that but some habits are hard to breakso next time you say "you dumb shit stop reviving me when I am going to die again" it is probably me...
