Battlefield 3

It's overpowered

I was going 30 - 4 and then the server cut off... why have they been so crappy today?

The SA80 family is hammer-fired and has a trigger mechanism with a fire-control selector that enables semi-automatic fire and fully automatic fire (the fire selector lever is located at the left side of the receiver, just aft of the magazine). A cross bolt type safety prevents accidental firing and is located above the trigger; the "safe" setting blocks the movement of the trigger.

The FAMAS is a bit ridiculous. The stock sight is horrendous, so you do better by just firing from the hip until you get the first sight. I have the L85 now (the SA80) and I'm enjoying that. It starts off with the 12x sniper scope as its stock one, so it's "interesting" using that to get the others.

EDIT: Also, as I thought, it mistakenly has a burst mode. It should only have full-auto and single shot:

12x stock scope for the L85? That's insane.

Finally won 5 squad deathmatches, just need 60 more assault rifle kills -_-

burst fire is capable on the newer variants, they have a 3 stage trigger when full auto is selected.

Do microphones work on the 360? I haven't heard a single person talk during the time I've played Battlefield. Not a single mutter. It's frustrating when you compare it with the level of communication you get in less team centric games such as Halo.

Also, we need to get a TSR 360 team together for some casual play.

Hows everyone doing on it so far?
After a long time of playing it on and off and not being convinced because of my poor performance It's starting to finally click and I'm starting to finally get the hang of it.

I'm even starting to get the hang of flying the helicopters. The Jets, not quite so much although I have certainly tried.

Anyone else playing it on the Xbox 360?



I'm not really sure. Most of the time I'm in a private party with a few friends. I think that when I am in public chat not many people speak. It's different in that way from MW3.
One of my friends described BF3 as being a lot more grown up than MW3 in many ways, that being just one of them.

I've got the hang of it but I'm not amazing. Really enjoy it all the same. Showed it to my mate the other day he was very impressed by how easy it is to annoy other players lol.

I find it took a while to get used to. For example it takes a while to learn that you really need to move from cover to cover, a lot more than other games, and that you generally have to move pretty quickly.
Before the game came out I played the Beta and was awful so I was really put off, but it does grow on you.

And yeah it can be easy to annoy other players. I haven't but a friend of mine is really good, he's gotten a few people to "rage quit" once or twice.

I love this about the game.

Also I used that MAV (I think) and a friend stood on it and I just went up really high and he jumped off it onto a building, was so cool. :P

QFA

Hows this for jet skills?




Oh and btw, that is the map with the tall red and white poll. You can see it in the background in the beginning.

Aye I've seen this, have ya seen the video of his failed attempts lol?

How do these people at the top of the leaderboards get around 1500 points per minute?

Oh man I wish people could learn to fly choppers better, it really isn't hard. Would be great if people would not use the helicopters as their own personal taxi so I'm not left in the gunner seat not realizing they bailed out so they could go snipe somewhere!

Played a few of the DLC maps. Not really liking Wake Island for some reason, the new weapons are ace though.
