Battlefield 3

[Kanda]

I thought you were on my server last night, dude. Some bloke called Kaneda. They drove a tank straight into the river on Seine Crossing. Fucking idiots.

I'm DireKanda, on Xbox.

- By which time your space has already gone so you have to close the game

I agree witi everything except that point once a connection to the server is established, your slot is reserved.

I agree witi everything except that point once a connection to the server is established, your slot is reserved.

Not if someone is still loading the game. It shows up as an empty slot in BL.

Although they may have since fixed that.

Then once you have done all that you have (everytime you want to play) to:

- Login to Origin

- Launch Chrome

- Login to Battlelog

The later steps can be tedious but I don't have to do these three, I just double-click the battlefield 3 icon on the desktop and all these other steps happen automatically, quickly & without the need for user interaction.

Plus it means I don't need to turn my xbox on to see if anyone is playing or not.

Ah I do this with an iPhone app.

Does DICE expose an API?

Does DICE expose an API?

Ah no idea it shows Xbox live data, basically it's a buddy list showing what people are playing like you see on your friends list.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

I'd love a proper official battlelog app though!

 

[Picadilly Commando]

I Don't think it is something I'd use. If I am at my computer I'll just look to see who is online and if I am not then well it is because I don't wish to play the game. I can see the advantage for you consolers though.

Had an awesome few games last night, my ridiculously crap k/d and w/l ratio's are always improving (yet still dire).

Yes I know it's about teamwork, I played recon last night and was having so many spot assists, helping my team mates destroy the other team (withoug getting many points myself).

 

[Picadilly Commando]

It is all about team work and all that jazz but you feel much better with a decent k/d

My skill level is -23 after I got my "shit pushed in" last night.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

My skill is -211 although dont know if that's getting booted of so many servers before I got the router sorted. On the plus side my accuracy is up to 8.9%

I still suck I know, but I'm defiantly getting better.

I'm practicing on sniping...
getting pretty good.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I fucking hate snipers. But not as much as twats with tactical lights. I've got a few few friendly fire kills now as the moment one is in my face I start shooting at it.

Red dot sights though I'm starting to dislike less, if the player ain't that great they give me warning to move and kill them

 

[Picadilly Commando]

Shine a light in my face and you get kicked from the server and lose all your points / ribbons and unlocks for that round.

If it's accidental or can't be helped fine but when it is down to simple foolishness they get a kick. If they're trolling with it they get banned.

Recon players: handy
Snipers: selfish waste of skin

So you shoot straight away at tactical lights.

As for sniping, I can't seem to get head shots on first shoot.
Practice I guess.

 

[Picadilly Commando]

Bullet drop, dude. Aim above their head, well above their head. I still haven't beaten my longest head shot of 330m but I mostly recon instead of sit and snipe.

Am in love with my SOFLAM <3

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Yup...just sometimes the wrong side. Thing is if I don't and it's the enemy I'm dead before I figured it out. I still think they are way way to bright when used outside.

 

[grit]

My gut reaction is to fire off a few rounds at a close combat tacical light (dont think I've ever played on a server that has friendly fire though), I find it amusing when snipers use them, as its just a big sign that says, I'm here shoot me!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Played B3 on a mates PS3 tonight, was watching closely to see if it was especially better looking than the 360 version and tbh I couldn't see anything dramatically different. Think their might have been less jaggies but apart from that not much different in terms of graphical detail or frame-rate (frame-rate being the main thing given graphical detail doesn't HUGE bearing on how a game plays).

Did he have all the settings cranked up and at 1080p

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Coudn't say, will ask.

Have to say, I got so bored of there being three snow maps on BC2 but now I miss them! Would love a good snow map for B3...

Actually ignore my post, I misread that as PC. Sorry.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I misread it that you saw it being on PC. PS3 and Xbox have default graphical settings, the difference between the graphics on BF3 on PC with everything on ultra and full anti aliasing is a huge leap from the standard settings of a mid range card.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Oh right, heh did think 'blimey, didn't know PS3 had graphical settings!' too.

I've been slightly sidetracked with F1 2001 and GT5 and the racing chair!!
