Battlefield 3

Bet d4i and Bisto would be up for it

I'll play if you fancy a try

This is a little highlight from the BF3 4 vs 4 league between BaT & TKO, TKO won the first two matches and this is the third.

I know they took it easy but surely we're a million times better? I'm sure i saw a rank 11 in the vid. (Has no bearing on players ability but greatly on unlocks)

We were in that league right up until the start, when they suddenly changed a bunch of rules to ones we disagreed with. Pretty sure we would have hammered them, only one of the teams had stats in the same league as our lot.

Word on the street is that they're planning on doing both regular and hardcore modes next time, so we'll be in on that if that's the case.

Yeah

4v4 seem so shit though. Especially on Rush

I'm sure we'd be fine

Wonder if they'll ever sort the servers for 12v12

4v4 sucks compared to normal modes, but it's a specific kind of Rush, not regular, obviously. Squad Rush. However, trying to get 16+ people into an empty public server is a logistical nightmare.

It pisses me off that DiCE hasn't even announced anything to do with private matches yet.

Was rocking the PKP Pecheneg, what a find.... Loving it after you get used to the recoil (with grip).

Stood on the stairs at the first set of M-Com, and seven people tried to rush up the stairs, one after another.... Dropping like dominos.

Been giving the Support class some time and really liking it.

Upcoming Battlefield 3 patch: what we know

There have been many bits of information surrounding the upcoming Battlefield 3 patch, and we’ve taken to task to compile all the expected fixes and tweaks that DICE has confirmed will make their way into the new patch, which should be released in early February. The list of confirmed additions:

    Commo Rose 2.0: a complete overhaul of the “Q”-button communications interface, with new commands, voice overs, and more.
    Weapon specific accessory tweaks: accessories such as silencers, foregrips etc. will now be tweaked on a per weapon basis and not globally. All accessories are expected to be tweaked in this patch. For more, see a full list of accessory tweaks.
    A fix for MAV riding will be applied
    Random “Bad Luck” deaths will be fixed across all platforms.
    PlayStation 3 users will see a VOIP fix
    Drivers will now get 50 points for “vehicle assist kills”. Pilot assist points will be increased as well.
    Sniper rifles will get increased accuracy after aiming-down with Red Dot or Holo sights.

And a few unconfirmed patch notes, but issues/features that DICE are looking into:

    The USAS-12 with Frag rounds will be balanced (unconfirmed: DICE has said they are looking into it).
    The resupply speed on the M320 grenade launcher might get increased, according to DICE.
    Horn sounds will be added to Humvees and other transport vehicles.
    Fall damage is being looked into as well.

mav riding and mav kills is a must as is the ussas frag rounds are plain over powered as well as the the range of them and the shotgun range is also stupid,also they need to fix the voice on xbox aswell as you can hear no one unless you in party chat or the odd peep in your squad....just plain pathetic....also they need to sort out the infa /heat scope and its different between variuos maps aswell..??

Awesome Squad Steamroller in action

Thoroghly enjoyed playing Squad Rush last night, it is a really good game mode if you have a squad communicating together.

4 vs 4 is very tight, tactical and compact.

[WHM Bistolegs]

yeah man was a great 4some last night.  well up for the comp, cant wait to bum other clans/ losers.

Be good to see how we fair against a team who we know will be communicating.

We were awesome.... Felt like i was actually there, in the heat of the battle

Looking forward to this now

We'd join in (again) and show you how things are done, but unfortunately they're sticking with easymode, AKA hardcore. Shame. Hopefully this one will expand their audience, and then they'll have other leagues in the future.

Also, this next DLC better allow them to patch in private matches. It's killing the potential of this game.

[WHM Jofftastic]

Didn't realise it's hardcore don't understand why the do that?

[XaiXo]

That's why we dropped out of the first ladder. It was normal mode until a few days before it was going to kick off, and they switched the rules.

Why they did it? Well, I can't really answer that as the responses I got were flimsy and senseless. The only "benefit" of HC is that you don't get marking arrows above your head, which in my opinion cuts teamwork a bit. They said they preferred friendly fire too, as it would make people more careful. However, that's a moot point since we don't have private matches with custom rules, so 5~ betrayals gets you kicked from a server (possibly less on Squad Rush).

The other ruling we disagreed with was they left the USAS-12/Frag Rounds and FAMAS (F2000 at the time, when it was more powerful) in while banning smoke grenades, one of the most important things in Rush and Squad Rush.

I have search their site and found nothing about smoke being banned  I agree it is a valid tactic that is silly to restrict . I can see some logic in having it HC as it would stop spamming with the USAS- 12/frag rounds or M320 but i would prefer Core as being kicked for Team Killing would make an impact on the end result as its only 4 vs 4.
