Had a squad of 4 on the other team earlier today on Kharg Island and they were spawning up on the hillside with a SOFLAM and Javelins and were blowing the shit out of everything, so me and a teammate flanked them and took them apart. They killed us sometimes, and we got them as they kept going back up there.
I decided it was time to bring out the mortats and shell the piss out of them :)

things that suck about the latest update:
• motar placement.
• randomizing conquest/rush/and that other shitty mode even though you chose only 1 mode.
• getting banned for kicking someones ass because that someone rented the server you never specifically asked to join anyway.
• all those stupid rules on private servers like "no snipers, no mines, no frag rounds" frag rounds suck anyway.is there a way to avoid those annoying rented servers?
- Yeah, I used to play Rush all the time, but Conquest is much more enjoyable. I don't like some rotations.Luda
- Search for -[DICE] that will bring up all the DICE owned servers with non crappy rules and 500% ticket gamesFallowDeer

no, there are less and less public servers from dice. they're pulling them so they can rent them. (instead of adding servers) I have a fave list of 5 servers I like to go in, including ours. I'll give you the names through psn later, or just join my session.

all those made up rules on a lot of those servers are getting ridiculous, yesterday I landed on this air maps server and their rules were "no stingers, no Soflams, no Javelins" basically no anything AA, so aircraft can kill you but your not allowed to kill them. haha, retards.

man I miss playing this game with you guys. it's been a months since I logged in. just as I was moving the new update came out for the famas. seems so long ago (February). and now there was another update across the board that I missed out on. anything worth while or are the updates just minor changes? I'll be heading out to china for 3 monthS n when I get back I'll be playing again. will you guys still play it? is there any new downloadable content? new maps, assignments. weapons?
what is this rent server thing? when did that happen?

The server issue is a joke. Just when you want a couple of quick games you're faced with a 1 million ticket game of conquest. Absolute bollocks if you ask me.
- with time, choose select servers and place them in your fave'svalente

The server search doesnt work, they have now given you a lot more options but there is now no way of filtering for these changes.
I just search -[DICE] to look for any remaining official servers
- try searching: dice (not[dice])valente
- I use [DICE] comes up with all the official serversFallowDeer

If you guys ever want to play with or against us(PS3) search "platoon of obvious noobs" or just search "platoon", you'll see it. East coast server, usually with conquest/conquest assault modes. If you get kicked out it's because we are either getting ready for a match or practice.
We are starting to play against each other, meaning it's not one sided or team stacked and make for pretty challenging matches. if we are all on one side it's because there's already enough competition on the other side. Only rules are not to use any dirty methods such as ramming air vehicles and using the dart/mass glitch.

I like this game a lot but my problem is that its going to take a few years of playing to truly be any good at it. The amount of weapons, loadouts, vehicles, maps, game modes etc make it pretty difficult for newcomers like me to the Battlefield series to compete with the seasoned Battlefield players. I'm still battling on nonetheless :)

@ Sandman - I get what you're saying but if you want to be good at this game I recommend to stick to one class you feel comfortable with. I like being all over the place (jets, chopper, tanks, infantry) but that's because because I've always been an FPS gamer. Except in tough matches then each member has their role. Other than that, stick to other people who are better than you. I learned like that by just being someone's shadow when I started playing a bit more "serious". You are always welcome to join my sessions, I never play alone so you'll see me with at least 2 other guys. The problem is our time zones, I don't know how one of our members does it(he's also from london).

Sandman, if you want to get good, follow valentes adivce. Think about what would be fun to do, if you like it in the thick of it then try assault, get the paddles on, and stick with your team. Let them take point, and learn when to revive, you'll start picking up when to shoot and covering and things like that. Personally I like to use the paddles and the m320, for pesky window snipers.
If you fancy taking on tanks, and or supporting vehicles go engineer, remember the weakest part of a vehicle is the back.
Support is for laying down covering fire and keeping your teams ammo up. The suppression perk is good for both attack and defence.
If you want to not support your team and sit in a corner then use a sniper, some people get good at close range with the rifles, but in all seriousness some multi class weapons like the p90 and the shotguns are good. The sniper equipment is good.
you have to remember that this game is massively about teamwork. Find your position in the team and you will have much more fun.

The sniper/recon class can be a very effective class if one uses it to its strenghts. Let's say your team keep getting pushed back, you can set down a spawn beacon close to the objective(s). The MAV is also very helpful specially in high traffic areas and more infantry based maps. also like this -->
It all depends on your play style and tactics you use such as flanking the enemy using a semi auto sniper rifle or pdw or if you have a god like aim then it's better to be far but close to the objective(contradicting, I know). There are ways to be effective as a recon specially an aggressive one and there are ways to not use the recon class which most noobs do it.
- been using sniper a lot lately just because of the spawn beacon and motion detectormoldero
- i used to use SoFlams a lot but my teams hardly use Javelins, and when I use Javs when i see someone is using to SoFlammoldero
- the Soflam, they dont operate them , just drop them with no aiming so their basically uselessmoldero
- i need to play with you guys, ill get on again next week and track you guys down for some gameplaymoldero
- we don't use soflam either, we use laser painter from the chopper and citv from the tanks.valente

Bump!
Picked up an Xbox again the other day so back on BF3 for a while. New rented servers are weird... Fucking cop out really from EA the cheeky cunts. Still as fun as ever though.
Who's still playing on Xbox? I'm MorningFox.
