10 tips and tricks to become a better Battlefield 3 player

Battlefield is back. Veterans and newcomers alike are flocking to DICE’s trademark take on combined arms warfare, and already the digital body count is greater than any war in the history of mankind. It’s a lot of fun, but it can also be overwhelming: there are dozens of weapons and class abilities, a healthy assortment of vehicles, intricately detailed maps, and ten times as many unlocks as Bad Company 2. There’s a good chance you’ll be biting the dust a lot when you first log on, so here are ten tips to help you out.

My tips from a BF2 vet to a BFBC2 player

1. Be an effective squad leader:
When you become squad lead, mark the objectives. You will rack up points for kills in each area you designate an objective. It also helps you win, and rank up faster.

2. Use the jeeps!
The jeeps may seem pointless, but they are much more effective than most think. Use it to sneak around the enemy, transport troops, and use the MG to provide suppressive fire <- important.

3. Learn to fly effectively.
When in a heli, hover over an area to give the gunner time to line up shots. Also, it is a spawn point for other teammates, so hover over an objective and drop them off.

4. Stay alive!
You are much more valuable alive than dead!

im not good at bf3 #there fixed for u

1.) Learn to revive your team mate
2.) Don't be a wookie
3.) Supply your team with your class specialty as much as possible.

There's one thing I wish though in Battlefield, and that is a flight simulator tutorial :|.

I can't tell you guys how much I flew my jet over the enemies territory and fail miserably.

Tip for easier flight control:

For jets, switch button layout to "Legacy" and invert Flight Look.

For helicopters, same as above.

I promise you'll be a perfectly fine pilot after doing so.

mike_d_4583d ago

I got my stick layout for jets on southpaw,to me it just feels more natural for most of the jet's controls to be on the left joystick,but then again everyone has their preference.

Drjft4583d ago

Hopefully some of the fucking retards in the game will play properly now.

Sick of CoD fuckwits running around playing Deathmatch when we have objectives to destroy.

Tachyon_Nova4583d ago

This happened in every BF to date, don't just blame CoD for peoples lack of a brain.

Drjft4583d ago

Bad Company 2 players even without VoIP have more brains than the majority of BF3 idiots.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai5d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga5d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole2d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville2d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens525d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_5d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville2d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM5d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka4d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_5d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

badboyz098d ago (Edited 8d ago )

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
