PS3 Battlefield 3 clan/people willing to play together?

aindriu80

is anyone else having problems with battlefield 3 freezing. It happens me regularly. It puts a good score to waste. I got the patch, re-downloaded back to karkand and redone the hard disk like someone suggested. Why would it freeze in the middle of a game ?

I got banned from a server yesterday for taking 2 little birds down. I was supposed to fly in the helicopter but decided to wait till it re spawned. Then a little bird came over to our heli spawn point. I got it in one shot (4 guys on the heli). Then the exact same thing happened again and I shot it down. I got banned, I couldn't believe it. It was legit, what do you think ??

Played with friendly fire last night and it was a chore. I had to leave the game, some settings are better than others

Was it a ranked game?

What do you mean you were supposed to wait.

Im not sure but someone rented out the server so i guess you could call it private.

It being rented does not make it private, having to enter a password or such would make it private.

If it was private or public and unranked then they can do what they like but if you look over your game history and see it was ranked then they can't enforce or ban for anything that EA does not do itself.

well he must have been a very bad loser. I got kicked from the same server before when I threw a grenade at a load of anti tank mines where our attack heli spawned. No one got hurt and no damage to vehicles. It just cleared the anti tank mines.
I sent a pm to the server owner explaining it to him. He just said "spawn killer" on the message. I was really pissed, battlefield still gives you the points but there are no rules about it.

Did you see if it was ranked, if it was and your bother or pissed enough report him.

You're going to find people setting games up like that and while it easy to just move on and avoid him if it's ranked then others are going to be getting unfairly banned by him.

It may not be there any more, could you find it on battlelog on your recent games.

Probably not much point in taking it future the guy may never rant a sever again or mess with people.

Glico Man

Get it while its hot... my server is online

If ye wanna join me, just jump on in

Glico Man

Sorry lads, EA really doesn't like me playing much lately. After I was kicked, I couldn't log back into EA online and then I get disconnected from PSN altogether. Something weird is going on...


Good craic in the server earlier with Spud and then Ade later on. Think I've finally mastered the Littlebird

F1ngers

Takes a lot of time to adjust unfortunately but once you do its not too bad. Give it another go

gazzamc

I'm starting to adjust to the changes of the patch.. it's not too bad now.. i'm loving the custom servers.. until you get killed my an admin for no reason...

What time is everyone usually on??

tok9

Would it be possible to get a list of the regular players? Just so we know roughly how many people play and maybe we could get a server of boardsies.

From what I know:

tok9 - SPUD_1231
aaronh007 - genesis87
-ade- - Ade_LFC_Alves
McMafia77 - mcmafia77
comeraghblue - comeraghblue
johnny_adidas - johnny_adidas
Varik - Dreadaxe
? - Klair88
Brian_Zeluz - Zeluz
aindriu80 - aindriu80
kensutz - kensutz
? - HadesChampion
Kag - KaG_25

I'm sure there is more but can't think of them at the moment. Add more if you can and we should try and arrange a game.

aindriu80

put me on that list but please turn off friendly fire. Its a pain in the neck.

KaG_25 is me on now for a bit.

Hygro

How in gods name can you activate the battle log? I've got the downloaded version of the game and I can't register :mad:

Nuri Sahin

Give us a shout here or on PSN if there is a squad going, in 15-20min time.

Tommy_NDX

Was trying to get on today but I cant download the patch this internet is so bad.

Nuri Sahin

Sorry about earlier lads, had to bail at the end of that game. Wasn't much point in me playing earlier if I feel I'm hindering the team. Aim was just completely off, compared to yesterday and day before where it was on mark. Should be on later for a couple of hours anyway!

aindriu80

i got a few request there and ignored them sorry guys, i was in operation metro getting even. i was banned from another server but i reckon its only because the admin is losing. if you want to add me on battlelog please do !

ComeraghBlue

Sorry Brian & Aaron for leaving abruptly.

The game froze so said I'd call it a night. Was a good laugh on that server tonight although Ade and his MAV isn't funny anymore and its worse than 'camping' & for some reason it wasn't being destroyed after a road kill.
Oh and for Ade and Ken: this is what camping is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhjIuTCOhrg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Iv 7000+ deaths so would love to know how I'm camping and if I am I'm not camping very well. I PTFO and don't worry about stats like some people that 'stat stalk' other people because like its so important isn't it? Flying a MAV around isn't playing the objective.

Big thanks to Aaron for renting the server!

Nuri Sahin

So when you were playing with regularly, you didn't mind me using the MAV? Based on comments back then that is.

You also gave the MAV a right proper go if I'm not mistaken. I'm not the only one to remember that too btw. You were seemingly mesmerized by MAV road kills for a good stretch that you didn't even bother to spot anyone or very rarely did. Something which I do first and foremost, then and only then do I go for kills. You just tried running people over.

It's a private game, who cares if it wasn't destroyed in all honesty I only got 3 kills with it during that match where it wouldn't be destroyed on impact. Twice, possibly three times yourself. Maybe make yourself a difficult target would help? Anyway, please report me to Dice if you find comfort in doing that. Be my guest.

As for the camping... you were in the corner, lying prone, ADS with a shotgun at the M-Com / doorway in a very dark confined space. I even said on Skype that I found it hilarious. Wasn't mad in the slightest. If anything at a push I was more baffled. The vid I'm not sure what you're point is, all I see is a bunch of idiotic players with absolutely little to no clue how to play Rush on Grand Bazaar

I've said it again, I'll say it a million times. If you or anyone for that matter want the MAV taken out. Do it yourself, or get someone else to help you with it. I'm very rarely MAV'ing (go with it) with a ammo crate. If someone leaves it there so be it. But for the most part, it's easy to take out. I have only ever had one problem in taking out a MAV. The rest were simple. It is very seldom to see people try and take out my MAV. Tis a fact. Likewise when Remi did, and Aaron. Unless I'm against them of course :pac:

So inclusion... I will continue to use the MAV. I will continue to spot enemies and help guide my teammates. I will continue to run people over if I think that is what is needed, thus sacrificing my MAV in the process.

W/L whore over and out.

I'm not going to make this thread turn into a argument but what I will say is that yes I did try the MAV and it was fun for a while but like you I was getting abusive messages so it's not worth it and I was spotting with it.

Me sitting in a dark corner with a shotgun protecting the M-Com shouldn't be a issue, i was playing the objective by defending and it was 3v6 so what would you do?

I don't know what your problem is with me and a few other BIE lads but look at the end of the day it's just a game and i don't see why a grown man would have a unnecessary grudge against people that he doesn't even know.

How about you and Kensutz putting this stupid vendetta to one side and stop all the bitching about people behind the mics and just play the game! Yeah?

Over and out, the PTFO Whore.

Go full pelt into someone's head or chest. Prior to the patch you could make mince meat out of a team, particularly on operation metro phase 1. But now you try it, you'll lose the MAV.

ComeraghBlue

Is anyone up for playing on one of those crazy 1750 ticket Operation metro servers? It's great for anyone looking to level up or unlock weapons. Myself and Klair are on it most nights and would be good to have a few more BIE lads on it

Notorioux

Hey lads if any of yous are on add me up psn Naughtix

Hygro

can anyone tell me why someone would kick another person (i.e. me) from a game. I wasn't camping or doing anything, though at the start the message said no usos or something, which I didn't understand.

I spent the majority of the game as a gunner on either a jeep or tank, next thing I know I'm booted. :mad:

How long are those games likely to last.

Just seeing that severs are being updated from 8am to 4pm so playing then you'll likely get kicked from games a lot.

They last about 60mins and it's very high tempo compared to the usual conquest matches we'd play. I usually join half way through but i see the top 3 people on each team easily get 100+ kills

If you're killing Admins a lot, then you'll probably be kicked. They don't like it when you kill them in their own server.

The message at the start probably said no USAS. A lot of servers now are stipulating what weapons you can/can't use. This against EAs terms.

I think that only applies to ranked games, but most of them are in any chase.

I've yet to see a public unranked server... they're all ranked or private matches.

Go into server browser then server filter (R3) and tick the box for CQ and only tick the box for Op Metro and untick the rest of the maps then save and refresh and scroll through until you see a server with 24/7 op metro or 1750 tickets metro etc etc and once you play one of those once then you access it again another time by going to 'history' in the server browser. It's the most action you'll ever have in a bf3 match

it happened me quite a few times, i think the admin is a loser is each occasion. I guess you really have to find reliable servers. The rules consist of a banner at the start of the game so if you see anything at all leave and find another server. Its not worth your while getting kicked or banned. Then whatever servers you had a good game add them to your favourite list.

I found a good dutch server. It plays operation metro, good for ranking up. I was coming first overall until the last 400 tickets where I just got unlucky and very tired ended up 3rd on the losing team, still a good game. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/39275110/4/229559080/

Yep, what's the point of abusing admin powers if you're not profiting from it.

Klair88

Loving the rent a servers, 1750 CQ Metro is all I'm playing. Myself and Comeragh have been ripping it up,PTFO style!! I got 159 kills last night! 1h 39mins of pure non stop action, thinking of renting my own server for 24/7 max tickets metro!! Been reading through this thread and for the record, MAV road killing is for n00bs. Best thing dice did with this patch was stop it, although I feel that any kills with the MAV should have been wiped out as it is talentless, skill-less cheating. Sitting in your spawn, untouchable, mowing down enemies is by far the worst thing about this game. I have been on amazing kill streaks only to be ended by a noob MAV camping. It is unfair to players like me who never used the MAV and to players that play objectively. Some may argue it spots enemies for team mates, but when the user is 35-0 and the top player on the other team it destroys any skill/ talent needed to beat a team and win the game. Good riddance.

aindriu80

good post klair88. I got killed by an idiot using the MAV yesterday and was pretty pissed off. There are still lots of people who don't know how to play the game. It should be about running in small groups to key locations on the map and forgetting things like MAV.

Just one question, does anyone have problems with the controls with battlefield ? When I engage an enemy I am forever getting up from a prone position or in the process of moving back down and thus getting shot. I find it very hard to move around while engaging an enemy without triggering get down/get back up. I still use default for the button selection ( right analogy stick).

Also on a 1 against 1 where the enemy and I see each other at the exact same time I always come off worst. I do aim for head shots but by the time i correct the aim its too late, any ideas ?
