Battlefield 3

Yeah, decent headset. Not wireless though. Chat and game volume plus mute switch and bass boost. Plugs into controller with 3.5mm jack from the volume control thingy. I swapped the one that came with the headset for a slightly longer one so the controller doesn't go flying onto the floor when I'm skinning up and then turn round to get a drink :D

Also, had a stonking game in the transport chopper (Venom) on Oman last night. Me, Kav and Lowsta didn't die the whole round and fucked the other teams shit up. If we would have had 2 guys with Javelins with us, we would have destroyed the opposing team.
 
Hmmm...not too sure about that. But then again, it's been said that "micro payments" will make up most of the games industry business. And that's been said for a few years now.

I doubt we'll see it with BF3. Maybe BC3.

If its done properly and ain't just an excuse to rip people off then I can't see a problem but this is EA we're talking about so don't really have much faith in them not trying to fleece us...

They sound good then, I might give them a blast. I think a lot of my problems is that the sound is just out of my tele, mounted on a wall at the other end of the room, so I cant ever hear people moving round me etc.... It might improve my game a little, although im still shit at aiming.

You should let me know when you're playing, I coulda javenlined it up last night, but instead I watched tripe on the telebox.
 
Fired it up today for the first time in a few weeks. I love it, but can't help wondering if the FAMAS is a little unbalanced in close quarter combat.
 
:(

I better hurry and get the next service star for it then before it happens. Unlocked the F2000 today, but not started the tedious process of getting decent sites for it yet.

Team Deathmatch is a great way to quickly get any unlocks for a weapon.

Ah yeah me too, haven't had a good team game since I last played with the ODD brethren.

Speaking of ODD brethren, Lowsta is coming down to London on Friday. Me and Kav are meeting him around Euston to get smashed. Have I planted the seed....? :D
 
So those x12's literally just have a connection straight to the controller. I don't really want to run wires to my xbox, as its quite a way from where i sit.
 
Any tips for getting going with the fighter jets? I've spent hours accumulating 46 points so far, I've just about got used to flying the things but everyone else has heat seekers.

Have you got the flares yet?? Heatseekers you can normally lose by going straight up as you'll go out of range quickly.

The trick is to see what's around you by flying third person and switch to the cockpit when attacking.

Just get quite a Long way from choppers hovering and fly straight at them whilst letting the gattling canons rip!!

Ah, no. The amp is powered by the USB port on the xbox.

Attack ground targets like tanks. You may not be able to destroy them but you will get any destroy assist points. This is the way I managed to get the heatseekers fairly quickly. And as Sim says, go after the choppers.

Of the new assignments, been stuck on 'scarred veteran' for weeks. Any ideas anyone?

Well it depends which criteria you need to complete!

No.10) To unlock MK3A1 in Scarred Veteran assignment Require 10 kills with PP-19 Require 5 kills in DPC Jeep 10 kills with BTR-90 IFV Play 2 hours on Sharqi Peninsula

I've done everything there except the 5 kills with the Desert Patrol Vehicle. I've got 3 but everytime I try to run someone over they kill me :mad: :D
 
Bugger, it seems that I have to choose between 5.1 and wireless. I ca afford the combination of the 2 :( (all about £130).

I cant work out whether the giotek ex-05 are 5.1 or not, some places say they are, some places say they're stereo.
 
I might be coming round to the idea of cans. Need to decide if it's best to go with a pair that use 3.5mm jack to use my sound cards headphone amp or the USB jobs with a built in soundboard.

Anyone know how to switch between the two if I go the USB option?
 
ok bit of a muppet question - the other day i was pinned down by a tank in a building as Support, then i spoted an Engineer kit dropped, so picked it up, got the RPG going popped up to fire at tank and nothing - i haven't progressed very far except on Support and it didn't fire with R1 - i guess something about lock on to a target??? but yep i popped up, nothing and was shot by the tank in about 1 second - doh !

That kit could have had an Anti Air rocket or Javelin equipped. With the Javelin you have to lock onto the vehicle before you fire.
 
There's some turtle beach x41's on ebay (i think they're refurbished ones)...... It says they're 'grade b'..... what does that mean?

3 month warranty, £68.50..... might be worth getting a pair?
