Rather play conquest then team death match. Then at least you can choose where to spawn and take some time getting your bearings before going into battle. It will be easier to learn the maps like that as well.

Team death match is way more chaotic then conquest.

Hmmm, hadn't considered that. Will give it a go, thanks.
 
its way kaaker, my game no longer crashes mid game, it now BOD and shuts down my pc. On top of all that it now also black screens on every game change.

Such a poorly tested game, I think I'll stick to supporting blizzard! Come on D3!
 
Okay, Conquest is miles harder than DM haha. I was like some poor slob home on his couch suddenly transported into a war.

Since the patch after I exit the game I need to reboot the PC in order to start it again without the EA server disconnect error. Pretty damn annoying.
 
Patch hasn't fixed my random freeze issue :(

Tried 3 different graphic driver versions as well.
 
What a horrible evening, lagged so badly. Boy i hope they patch those server ASAP :eek:.

Otherwise the changes are good.

I'm not even thinking about flying yet. I've only tried Team DM as is, just to keep it simple for the moment.

Thanks for the map link. Are there any general tips for bindings? A couple times I've died hitting f when I wanted to throw a grenade, so I'm thinking of maybe using the back mouse button for going prone and the forward button for grenade. Also, what is the default button for handing out meds and ammo. Is it q?

Game is a hell of a lot of fun, even if I'm constantly the weak link for my team.

Well its best to set your key bindings to whatever suits you most. I've kept everything standard except making knife attack the middle mouse button, and grenade the forward button on the side of my mouse. Some people change all their buttons-ive got a friend who has a razer naga mouse(which has 13 extra buttons) and has programmed pretty much everything to his mouse except WASD!

I agree with the comment made that playing conquest is the best mode to play as a beginner.

To throw ammo packs/med kits/other items, you simply select them and then click the left mouse button. They are all catagorised as weapons. So you select it the same way you woulf select a weapon (number buttons or scrolling the mouse wheel) and then clicking.

Check on youtube for some 'how to not be a noob" videos. If you can't find anything which is battlefield 3 specific, check out the bad company 2 videos as alot of the gameplay is very similar to bf3.

well then glad I didn't try play yet, as I would have surely thrown my pc out the window if all the issues mentioned happened.

will prepare myself for it for tomorrow.

Well just based on those post death hints at who killed you, prone seems to be a good position. Will mess around with some things tomorrow and will definitely seek out some help via youtube.

In the conquest game I tried, I picked up a gun off the ground which had an infared sight. I could straight away see the guy who kept nailing me from a second story blown out building. Man, no wonder I'm being destroyed. Of course before I could use the damn gun he had killed me again, but it definitely fires me up to improve so I can at least compete on an even playing field as far as weapons are concerned.

In conquest, where do the tanks come from? How many people can get inside?

Yeah the addons do make a huge difference. Keep playing and you'll soon be unlocking them.

Tanks,helicopters,jets,jeeps, etc are all provided at your teams deployment point (the place everyone spawns when the round starts). There are however a limited number of vehicles, and the vehicle selection differs per map. Two people can get into a tank, one person is the driver and controls the main tank cannon, the second person controls the extra gun on the tank. Also, when your team captures certain control points in conquest mode (A,B,C etc), extra vehicles are sometimes supplied once your team captures it. If you have a look at those maps, it actually indicates all the vehicles for each map and where they are situated.

actually if you level up your tanks all the way you unlock a citv station which allows three people. Its sort of like a tank commander seat with thermal vision and lock on.
 
The issue of n00bs is tricky... people need to learn but it sucks that they have to learn in game, nothing worse than a vehicle being wasted. A few days ago on caspian one guy was just cruising around our base in a tank, shooting at a building while his buddy was running around shooting random rpgs. two more dudes were waiting for the chopper to spawn and when it finally did the dude in the tank blew it up, when it spawned again one of the dudes got in and promptly crashed nose first about 3 seconds later.

Needless to say, we lost the match.
 
yeah, BF2's "BOT CAMPAIGN" was good for learning the in's and out's of how the game works.

as you say Fader, now unfortunately you have to watch them do it in-game and it never turns out positive.
 
Thought they fixed the spawning problems. I spawned right infront of a tank countless times last night.

Dude i somehow doubt they can get it right, what they mean i think is they will try not to spawn you in front of enemy and honestly dude where would you like to spawn, if you don't want to get shot then don't spawn on a flag that is under attack? I keep getting a fright because people spawn in the oddest places now, seems like they drop out of the sky hahaha

If you spawn on a flag then i guess there is a chance you will get pomped :D. At least they have fixed the davand peak issue. Spawning on the flag is fixed finally. It was so funny watching oke after oke spawn and die on that flag.
 
Caspian boarder - gas station flag. Now you know how many places there are to spawn there but I spawn right at the flag by the tank. It's easy if there is someone at the flag spawn the player at that flag spawn farthest away from that player but NO I get planted right next to them
 
Yoh lag is terrible! Hardly had a round last night where it was OK. Stopped playing after a few 'You were disconnected from EA Online' messages :/
It also feels like it takes longer to load into a game.

TDM is less frantic than before, I kinda miss the WTF IS GOING ON feeling :(
