Yeah i do, seems to have more gear some of which you use to accompany another person e.g sniper can use the SOFLAM laser targeted for the troop with the JAVelin missile and also Jets with laser bombs to help guide them in etc. Just feels more warlike than COD. COD to me seemed more CQB combat than full scale war in a large area. |

Hm.. This is probably better than MAG its similar in a sense of large scale maps... in fact, probably similar overall except better if you like more 2011 warfare type weapons and graphical realism. Im not overly fond of futuristic weapons, not that MAG was, it just wasn't accurate in weapon design and armour etc etc. Up to you, I don't have this on xbox anyway so you'd be playing it with Necris and Marcus I guess or whoever else has it. |

Now that I've got my belkin pad set up and the controls sussed, not to mention starting to get used to the maps, I'm really starting to like it. Even starting to enjoy the city based maps (I think I'll always hate the subway one though, but sienna crossing is cool) Jams, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said its more "war like". It's pretty cool when you're assaulting a map point on foot with a bunch of other infantry, while choppers buzz overhead and then a tank rumbles past. And being stuck in a building that's slowly bing shot to pieces, knowing if you move you're dead and just praying for an engineer or a friendly tank comes saves you is a feeling you don't get with COD. Is it just me and you on PC Jams? I thought blitz was getting it on PC s well but haven't seen him about... |

Blitz plays more at night like 11pm onwards since he's got the baby and that to contend with. I thought there was more ppl on PC for this but looks like they all got it on console. Better playing with friends anyway like when I join your game and play along side you. Most of the maps we've played have been a clusterfuck of riots though in tight hallways so its tough to work progressively taking points as a squad when you're being pinappled at every chance. |

BF3 FTW! love it. Feel like such an idiot still with the maps and not knowing them and my beloved chopper is tricky to fly still with the new controls yet again lol. It's the fourth time they have changed the controls on xbox battlefield games.

Not sure what you're problem could be, do you get it with browsing the net as well? Timeouts might be high pings in the game and disconnecting you due to that but you said you get disconnects playing other games as well. Might be related to your internet or perhaps your hardware you're using. Maybe speak to your ISP as much as that probably won't get you far, they might be able to see if you're disconnecting from the net. Might have to do some googling to see if theres something you can do. |

The 24 man limit on 360 puts me off. I know what you mean about the tight hallways, Jams. Gets a bit boring after a while, metro is particularly bad for that and also that map with the choke point leading to the markets. Just ends up with each team at either end trading RPG's. with a good team it's not to bad as people push forward. Needs a good mix of engineers, support and medics though. We should try and squad up more Jams, not sure how to do that though... From the in game chat it seems like its a hassle to squad with someone specific ones the match has started... It always cracks me up when two people start bickering because one of them wants the other one to leave so a mate can join the squad... Addit - I haven't had a connection timeout myself either. This may sound obvious, but have you tried power cycling your router? Which ISP are you with? Do you notice anything else before you get the timeout eg connection drops off, or does it just boot you? Only other thing I can suggest is maybe try port forwarding... If you google bf3 port forwarding or search for it on the bf3 forums (search on the games launch browser) it should come up with a post listing the ports - I saw it when I was searching for something else, apparently there are a fuck load of ports it requires open. If your router supports uPnP it should have picked them up, but may be worth trying. And you need to start plays at a reasonable hour so you, jams and me can squad up

Worst thing about PC game - in game chat.. people are stupid its like they rage for nothing. Im covering my corner, almost hugging a corner, about 1mtr away say, i start shooting at a guy running round the corner with my pistol and another teammate runs through my view cutting my line of sight shots so i TK him. He starts flaming me for killing him, I just said well you ran into my LOS so its your fault.. then he goes on claiming there was no one there etc etc. I just said, look i killed you, i lost points, i don't care, its on me for tk'ing you so deal with it. but some people feel the need to keep rambling on about team killing and all that shit. what amazes me is people just run wild through in front of someone rather than around, i can understand if I'm in the middle of the area and people do it but when you're tucked to the side its almost stupid. But anyway, not sure how the SOFLAM sniper laser thing will come into play, i think you'll need someone who's an engineer with a Javelin missile or a bomber jet to actually get to use it and coordinate a decent use of it. Since its almost pointless in random groups that someone will actually use it as it should. I've a feeling they'll probably patch the SOFLAM laser designator for the sniper so he actually launches a missiles from somewhere as I don't see it being used as it should, not many people would coordinate like that other than the pro gamer types. |

I've tried partying with my uncle in it, it does put you in different squads in game, but doesn't take long to sort out, you can setup a party in that crappy web battle log first before joining. Its still buggy as though. Specially when the server goes down it wouldn't let us join a party again after that. |

I wondered about the laser designator as well. I think the devs are hoping each squad will have one person playing each class (there are four classes right, or I'm I forgetting one). Fat chance if you're playing with randoms. |

Actually just read about the SOFLAM it auto-designates targets as required. Basically I put it on the ground its like a box on a tripod and you get a wifi transmitter to use with it if you want to manually spot shit yourself, but if i left it on a hilltop and ran off in the distance it would automatically find and assign designation locks for anyone using Javelin or jet/chopper missiles, basically making them easier to lock from afar and fire without line of sight. At least having it auto-designate makes it much easier than having to sit watching through it manually. Im sorta levelling 3 classes up, Engineer, Medic and Sniper up in that order of preference to get the gear from those. I've used the javelin missile same as standard RPG's but they seem to do little to no damage to the tanks.. guessing the rear is the best point to do the most damage? |

Until cod comes out, yeah. If it becomes a forum regular I'll pick it up for 360. The first online game I played on console was BF:MC back at the start of 360. Had a lot of fun with that. For playing with randoms I'll stick with PC though. 64 players dilutes the douchebag ratio a bit. Oh and Jams, I've had issues with servers today as well, I noticed everyone got kicked from the server I was on. (player count on the server was showing as 0 after I dropped out). Had the game lock up once today as well, so far. Gonna jump back on in a minute, will try joining the server you're on now. |
