Got a lot to learn, but living long enough to get the odd kill in deathmatch.
Been disconnected twice now though, losing stats.

360 servers seem to be OK now. Got into a game right away last night.

so then - haven't bought BF3 yet, shall I get it on 360 or PS3 is what I'm wondering..have previously played only the 360 versions, I'm inclined to stick with the same platform, unless there's good reason to do otherwise?

360 and join TSB' platoon!

More 360 players here than PS3.
On that note.. on PC how do you add 'friends'. I'm ChrisFilter on Battlefield 3 on the PC - feel free to add me, any PC players off here.

No idea...I found you, but the option was greyed out.
Starting to get to grips with it, although prefer the smaller more enclosed maps. I even did a level with more kills then deaths! Number of timeouts are doing my head in though, ping is fine until and then just thrown off. Still at least it's connecting as it should which is better then last night.

Yeah my KD is shit too but then I focus on points more than ratios to boast about.

I like playing it like I did quake. Are you sticking to a class to try and level it up or just playing what suits your fancy? Think it's a bit annoying that when you get a site for a weapon for one side, you don't get the equiverlent for the other as they're almost the same weapons.

I haven't had any issues. Are you on wi-fi?
How does voice work ok PC? I've never bothered to look.

That might be it.
I've not looked either, this is the first time I've played anything online in ages! Be different in I knew other people playing it.

Some top tips. I cannot be arsed to go into massive detail
Always learn the maps. Then you will know how that sneaky bastard who killed you managed to be so sneaky.
Always join a squad. It's better to have 3 mobile spawn points than none. Plus you can earn mega points by healing/reviving/resupplying.
If playing in a random squad, check what loadout the others have. If there is no medic for instance, be the medic.
If you are going to be the medic, think before you revive. Someone killed the person you are reviving. If you're not careful, they'll do the same to you. Then it will be 2 tickets lost rather than potentially just one.
As above, reviving gives you that ticket back. The team with the most tickets at the end wins. Self explanatory
When you hear gunfire, check the minimap. Enemies will show as a red dot.
Go for the objective. That's what the game's about and it will earn you points.
When arming an m-com/capturing a flag, always have fully loaded weapons. If you had to fight your way in, draw your pistol. Better to have a full clip rather than not. Don't take the chance of reloading unless you have cover with you. The bad guy WILL show up midway through the animation. They will then maybe disarm/recapture the flag you fought for.
When in a vehicle, always find a spot that you can get away from quickly. If you start taking fire, you should know that you can back out and get repaired. It also makes sure your engineer stays alive if you give them a good spot to repair in.
Always play around with your load out. See which guns and perk combos work best for you.
Remember, you can change the fire rate on some weapons. Go semi automatic for longer range kills, burst for medium range (if available) and full auto for close.
Be flexible, if you need to change kit to deal with a problem, do it.
Always go after the biggest threat. If a tank is being a pain, take it out above everything else. If that tank stays, infantry can push up.
Remember, if someone is hiding behind something you can probably destroy it and reveal them.

Had a great game tonight. Finished 5th out of 16 and had a KD ratio of 1. That's good for me!
Caspian border is by far my favourite map, thus far.

I'm with the K/D rejectors here. Fuck K/D ratios. It's all about the team score for me.
Caspian is fantastic on conquest and Rush. I'm really liking Operation Firestorm conquest also. And Grand Bazaar, that's a sweet map for epic teamwork.

The server connection seems ok no more kicks but I'm seeing some odd and in two cases alarming bugs. Came around a corner saw a team mate (blue name) he turned and shot me dead. Turned out he wasn't on myself despite what the name colour suggested. Later in another game everyone's names disappeared and everyone started firing at everyone, I'm guessing they had no clue who was who either!

Which one is it then?, racist, homophobic or just general abuse? or perhaps some grooming maybe?
