Anyone want to join small BF3 group?

I enjoyed the game on scrap metal, I did pretty well. It's a bit pathetic all the moaning about different guns and I saw 1 person getting kicked from a game because they used a smaw.

Actually, on that server c4, smaw's and rpg's are banned. Its a nightmare with guys spamming grenades never mind smaw's and rpg's too.

I just ignore the comments myself, let people get on with it.

I don't care how many times I die (sometimes it does pee me off if I keep getting picked off at spawn points) I just want to have a laugh, obviously I'd prefer more kills than deaths but there you go. I thought that text stuff would get on my nerves but it genuinely does add more enjoyment to the game seeing the 'pros' getting so vexed at actually being killed. Great stuff!

Grenades are my bugbear for CQ matches, that's one thing that does annoy me. You're trying to make ground or defend a point and they just hide and lob grenades and hope for the best, often getting multiple jammy kills. When everybody's packed in so tight it's rare you can run away too, loads of times last night I went to run from a grenade but my own teammates were blocking my way so I died.

I like the CQ conquest maps (Ziba Tower, Donya Fortress, Operation 925, Scrapmetal), especially full with 64 players. It gets a bit chaotic but it can be good fun. I'm also getting back into CTF games, mainly as a sniper defending the flag, and enjoy the 64 player TDM maps as well. Need to play more on Rush however!

yeah the nades are quite annoying. But we can use them too :) I always find that my team keeps continually running into defending VA/VP's instead of letting them (defenders) come to you! Cause your going to survive sprinting into grenades then a few guys lying prone waiting...

Anyone know of any other Infantry type maps? that aint busting with tanks? I would quite like Seine Crossing if the tanks were not included.

There should only be 1 light tank on Seine Crossing so it's not too dominating to be fair. Only takes a few rpg's to bring it down and then they normally give up.

Depends on the game mode to be honest! Damavand peak is a pretty good map on conquest. Grand Bazaar is a good conquest one as well. Haven't played properly in ages so can't remember half the new maps!

GG last night lads, I knew we was going to win the ziba Tower match!

I was rocking the spas 12, with a grip, holo sight and slug rounds! The thing is deadly!

Im out for part of this evening but might be on later at night.

Is that the best set up for the shotty if im a run around kind of player?

I unlocked the PWDR or somthing its pretty sweet.

The DAO-12 is quite good, but you have to be up real close for any kind of accuracy. It also has a distinct sound too and slow to reload.

The Saiga, is quite good too, but im not so much of a fan, I seem to end up firing so fast, then having to reload before i've killed the guy im trying to kill. OR say, if there was two guys, I'd kill the first and wound the second.

But I find the Spas, pretty good. Hold 5 shells as standard increased to 7 when you get the extended mag. The grip and extended clip is a must for me. Then play about with the differing types of shells till you get the slugs.

I do find that the shotguns are only useful when on Ziba tower, for real close up stuff. Nothing worse than a guy running around with a shotgun, so ya may as well join in :)

If you're not going to go with a shotgun I'd recommend the UMP-45 for close quarters games. Great damage, fast fire and good mag capacity.

I like the 870 for a shotgun, makes me feel manly.

I was using the M16A3 or AK all last night though. For some reason I really can't find a class I enjoy, there's no distinct assault class... Yes, I use assault rifles but I'm technically a medic, which means I die all the time from feeling guilty about needing to revive people and doing things I wouldn't normally do. Engineer is good but slightly pointless on servers were RPG's are banned. Support is good until you need to reload plus it's hard to run around and a Recon on CQC maps is just daft.

I hope they bring back an out and out assault class :(

yeah I loved that in BF2. Assault was assault, not assault and heal yourself medic! I suggested they should have an all out medic class during the Alpha and Beta, and suggested it in their forums, but it got flamed to hell lol.

I found another CQ server with 40players max, not sure if rpg's/smaw's are banned though.

Yea I wouldn't mind a Medic class if it was more medic-like... Not a main attacking class with the ability to self-heal. Plus they really need to sort of revives, I'm not a doctor but I'm fairly sure defibs aren't magical. It's far too easy to practically 'snipe' revive people from miles away with no consequences. There should at least be a couple of seconds to do it so that there's more risk involved.

And sweet man :) Me and Smoke played one last night which was rotating all of the expansions but was switching between rush and conquest and it was really good in my opinion. Was on slightly bigger infantry maps. Would have been even better if DM wasn't pestering me on Steam to buy games that he'll never play with me.

One of the annoyances I have with being revived is you have no say in the matter. You can be revived and then killed again by the same enemy and there is nothing you can do about it! I've heard rumours that BF4 will have changes such as a charge time on the defibs before you can use them and the ability to properly decline revives.

You can turn them down can't you? You have to press space to accept it or something else to go to the spawn menu I think. I keep accepting it then getting shot again.
