I run BF3 on my laptop just fine. It's a little slow to load maps but other than that it's fine. Huh, when I tried to apply again it says I cannot apply with my currently selected soldier.

Well guess what? I finally got this working[:)] It's got something to do with the wrong drivers and now I'm happy thank god for that[lol]

Well,I'm pretty good with the mortar and after finishing the assault class I'll return to support class.Farther on I'd need a good helicopter pilot or gunner cause I want to proceed in the coop modus.Its always the second mission that love me up.

I havent even started those. Im pretty good in the air. I grew up on flight sims.

Though some of these guys can evade missiles like they have another pair of eyes to know JUST when to cut. Its really...frustrating.

Yeah, I tend to stay away from piloting air vehicles unless I not only want to kill myself but others around me as well lol. I've always been more of a tank guy. Get me in an Abrams on top of a hill or bluff with good coverage of the map and I'll be plenty happy.

Yeah,I guess that will have to do it.What really pisses me of is the fact that I have been flying jets for around 20 mins and I still got no kill with them.I would wish that they'd be equiped with Air to Air Missles and IR-Flares by default.

When I first read that, I thought it was legit. Then realized it was boosting. Dont try that with me. I will camp your spot. lol. Its not that hard to do without boosting. All you need to do is get things sorted so that you can spawn-camp their planes. Soon as it spawns, blow it up. Chances are, someone is spawned in it and dies. Great for the lulz.

lol I wish I could boost a little on consoles haha. I just need some actual unlocks for some vehicles! Helicopters are terrible without IR Flares. I can fly them fine, but I don't have flares for either type of heli and every time I try to fly I die while I rhyme.

Spawn camping is lame though. :/

If no ones gotten into it and taken off by the time I see it, its dead. Its sort of the rules of the air, or so Ive gathered. I dont like to spawn camp with a gun though in someones base.

Through making the platoon we could bring in some nice tactics.What do you think of this:
I could use the mortar while Real gets the MAV to spot enemies for me and another person guards our position while someobody else takes out incoming dangers and hostile mortars (in this case another skilled Recon would probably the best solution).
On maps like Teheran Highway mortars work excellent.And with this method it would probably be deadly effective.

whaattt? Tehran might be the worst map. B is completely covered by the highway. Sure its small and you can get from A to C but B is really the one that wins you the game there.

When I work the mav Im constantly watching my AO so we wouldnt need someone else to watch us. We would only need to watch because if someone else sets up mortar, that first shell and you are gone unless you position every time.

Tehran Highway is sometimes pretty fun to play Rush on.

I love Tehran in Conquest. Just not a mortar map. I tend to just DESTROY people from the US side or looking up to US Snipers.

Yeah I see,forgot about the damn highway,but I love spawning in the enemies area and going for dogtag harvest on recons.But as alternative mortar map caspian border,which is probably my favorite map.But I prefer to play TDM to get the best attachments,and then proceed to Rush and Conquest.

Tehran highway Conquest is excellent compared to the abomination that is Operation Metro and Damavand Peak on Conquest. Not sure why it didn't occur to them to test those maps on that game mode instead of simply plopping control points down. At the very least though, those maps are pretty good for Rush. (Though that figures being that they were specifically and exclusively designed for Rush; quite unfortunate that they didn't figure out a way to use the entire maps for Conquest effectively though)

I really like Damavand Peak for Conquest. It's a different kind of Conquest...more like CoD's Domination (which I always found fun). More frantic than the other maps. I don't know why they didn't include the whole map though, that would have been cool. I guess because it's too linear.

What!? Operation metro on conquest is THE BOMB. You just dont play it right. I love that map. Total points farming. Its fast paced like cod but still in bf fashion. I can destroy with any kit on metro conquest.

The trick is one person with squad sprint. Everyone but one move up to B. I think the strategy on Metro is simple but as good as any map. Then holding B can be a chore. And if the americans can slip behind and get to A with a couple moboile spawn points, theres tons of spots to hide it. Buildings. Alleys. Etc.

Metro is one of my faves.

Operation Metro Conquest in a nutshell: Switch to RU team and nade spam the living love out of the U.S. as they struggle for the high ground. If starting as U.S., just don't even bother. Sometimes the U.S. breaks through and gets control of B, but quickly loses control of it due to RU's superior positions.

Damavand Peak is debatable, but it would be much better if they opened up the top of the mountain to infantry at least. (Not necessarily to any ground vehicles, just open it up to infantry or at least include more transport choppers.) Otherwise the whole game is a boring struggle for the control point in the middle of the tunnel.

Or put on squad sprint, everyone (though 5-6 will work) make a mad dash for the elevators, a couple go around to the right in the lockeroom but mostly everyone set up camp behind the wall and hold it. I have had just as many good games on US as RU. Yes, US has a slight disadvantage but I have SEVERAL times as the US side held all 3 and pinned the RU into their base.

Just takes a team with half a brain.

When I joined that game, I was on US and we had NO POINTS controlled. First thing I hear is "Weve lost control of all the points!"

We preceded to push up and DESTROY them.

My game wasnt too bad either.

17-4. 4 handgun kills, 12 HS with M98. Multiple spot bonus from TUGS. I made sure no one got through our middle line. I think I had a streak in there of a HS every 2 seconds for 6-8 seconds in there.

love Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3 is were it's at. But for the time being , I'll have to settle with Skyrim and Skyward Sword.

DICE announced to nerf the IRNV. Another fun object that gets nerfed cause of whiners. Its always the same with the internet game community: As soon as those crybabies got killed trice in a row by a certain weapon they go to the forums and bitch about OP of this and that until it gets nerfed.Why not nerfing the whole game?
