I wouldn't mind, I could join in. Though I can be pretty rubbish sometimes. I would have to add you then.

We all can be, except for Tzun of course.
I'm gogatrs, friend list may be full though.

And then it's that I get disconnected from EA Online every 10 minutes. If I'm lucky I might get an entire half hour before it disconnects.
 
If you are kicked from a server in the middle of the game will it show up in the recent servers? It said "admin removed you from game" or something like that. I went to recent servers and sent the host/admin a message after I was kicked, but he said he never kicked me.

Rumored: Battlefield 3 Premium Edition Listed By Retailer, Coming Next Month

Trendygamers
It looks like a newer version of Battlefield 3 is on the way as Amazon.ca (who previously revealed the Wii U box art) has posted a listing for a Battlefield 3 Premium Edition on Xbox 360 and PlayStation. There is currently no box art available and the game is listed as having a $69.99 price tag, but there is a date set for September 15th, meaning that we could see a revealing from EA at Gamescom 2012 next week.
 
So when is the Premium package drop? Or is it not revealed yet?

Not revealed yet, They will have to do something sharpish, As its the 12th already. I would put a fairly safe bet on an announcement this week for a release the week after.
 
I finally got BF3 for PC (found a limited edition copy for 30 bucks) and i have come to the conclusion... i f'n hate my small keyboard (OEM Dell keyboard i stole from work). I want a Steelseries, but the cheapest ive seen one is $75 dollars.

Until i get a keyboard thats actually comfortable, im just going to drive the tanks and shoot as many choppers down as possible. The cross team chat is funny when they are repeatedly shot down by a level 1. XD

I believe there's a driver around somewhere so you can use your DS3+USB cable. There might be some input lag though.
 
Would you rather I stripped it out, slapped a Honda badge on the front and shout "VTEC just kicked in yo" whenever I accelerated?

Had some fun rounds with Gaz last night, sniper finding at Kharg. Running around the hills trying to find them, great fun.

Even played a round at Metro, not been there in yonks!

Yea, idk if its the same as what your thinking but i have a program that i can use my DS3, but point and click is much easier XD

My problem is i have large hands and to press some of the keys i have to remove my hand. Ive also had a couple ghosting problems which ended up in me dieing... lol
 
I gave the SKS a go tonight after not having used the weapon remotely recently. The SKS is a fantastic weapon and it is a shame that I have not been using it more. The weapon is what I had hoped the M417 would be when it was announced that the M417 would be added.

MotioninJoy (DS3 Tool). Set the controller as XBox360 controller for best compatibility and you can even increase the power of the vibration, which adds significantly more immersion.

SKS and M417 each serve a different role. SKS has a higher Rate Of Fire, whereas the M417 has higher damage.

Stat comparison of the two:

So I was getting really pissed off with the 350m headshot.... so I decided to plop myself up on the mountainside on Kharg Conquest and wouldn't you know it; a sniper sitting on the roof at B.

I dont mind the lower ROF of the M417, As it makes up for it with higher max & min damage, Muzzle velocity and Suppression effect. The M417 does suffer more than the SKS when being suppressed though, wich for me more of a plus point than the ROF. I always end up choosing the M417 though, You cant go wrong with the sheer brute force.:drool:

I have had similar, I knew which server I had been kicked from (for no apparent reason) so contacted the server owner, who said I hadn't been kicked to his knowledge.

I still have no idea what went on!
I can confirm that your recent server doesnt actually show up in the recent server list. I tested it this weekend. I picked a server. Played to the end, left, and looked at my recent servers. It was not in there. I am not sure if there is a delay but your most recent servers do not show up right away. So the message I sent to the person, was the wrong person. oops. Oh well.

With that said I played BF3 all weekend long. Bought points for my nephew and my friend so they could play online with me. Had some great games and some terrible games. The most epic moment I had was on Caspian Border. I locked onto a helicopter and disabled it. And as usually the pilot landed the helicopter out on the ground to repair it. I ran out there and noticed that you can actually see the pilot and co-pilot in the cockpit. So I thought maybe I could just shoot them through the windshield. I put my rocket away and I pulled out my AK47 and holy crap it worked!!! I actually shot both of them through the windshield. Then the gunner jumped out and I shot him too. :lol:

I did run into something very frustrating last night. One of the helicopters had a bug or the host was cheating somehow. Could not get my rockets to lock onto this specific helicopter AT ALL. 3 of us in a squad and not a single person could lock onto the helicopter with our rocket. So I ended up just leaving the room and called it a night. :indiff:

I know the stats. I would have preferred the M417 had been put in to perform a similar role to the SKS. As it is now, the M417 is nothing more than a higher magazine capacity Mk 11 Mod 0 or M39 EMR with a bit less recoil. Recon did not need another higher recoil semi-auto; a NATO alternative to the SKS would have been a better choice. I like to use a variety of weapons and having another battle rifle to use for aggressive Recon would have been awesome.
 
So I join a server with the text 'No rules!' in the description. Got kicked right after throwing a grenade with reason 'kicked for using M67 grenade'. :crazy:
 
They're showing some Armoured Kill stuff at GamesCom, I'd be very surprised if they didn't end that press conference with a 'LOOK WHAT WE'VE JUST LAUNCHED RIGHT NOW' reveal of the Bonus Content Drop like they did with the BattleLog reskin and Premium at E3.
 
Some good ConDom rounds with Apok earlier. Rocking the Spas, G18 and Claymores. Got about 150 kills across 3 rounds with the Spas. It's a beast. A shame in that last round that someone was C4'ing the flags, I always throw a grenade on to the flag before taking it just to clear any explosives. Frustrating though.
 
I have been doing something I don't really like to do. I....I quickscoped with an M39 EMR with iron sights:guilty:. To make it worse I did that in a non-hardcore lobby. It helped me hold the objective since anyone that go even close was killed.

I had great fun too.
It sure made my mission to get mastery on as many weapons as I can a bit more fun with a good squad mate.

I've gotten mastery with the M416, AEK-971, PP-2000, F2000, KH2002, M4A1, 870MCS and SPAS-12 so far.
The last four I've achieved today, though the M4 needed only about 5 kills, the rest about 50-100. Have to say I'm enjoying myself doing it. M249 up next.

I prefer the M39, its the strongest of the semi auto rifles with faster bullet travel and longer range. But i mostly stick with Bolt actions anyways if i do use a long range rifle. lol

Iv'e been doing this to, Getting all mastery tags for the weapons. I cant bear just playing with one weapon & class, So doing this helps change things up and keep it fresh. Im also doing two of these things at once, Weapons over the 5 s/stars i aim for 10 s/stars and below 5 i just go for the mastery.

The weapons iv'e 10 star'd are - F2000, AEK, MP7, P90, MTAR, 93-R, L86A2, L85A2, M249, G3A3, AUG A3, USAS.

Next will be AN-94, FAMAS and M417.


By the way, The Double XP weekend will be 25-26 August. Just seen on Battlelog.
