Battlefield 3

Skill level explained


• You gain/loose SL based on every confrontation with another player
• Killing a highly skilled enemy gives you more points than killing someone less skilled
• Points are not transferred from a player to another, they are simply added/subtracted based on the encounter and the SL of both parts (thus, after an encounter, one part may go up 50 points while the other loses only 20)
• The SL is used for matchmaking

Shot! Was wondering how the skill level worked... I'm somehow on -20 or something...
 
How do you guys judge the quality of a server? Simply by how smooth and lagless it is? I just jump into any server that has between 1 and 5 spots open...

Yebo yes :D. I haven't played rush 64 but it sounds like it could be insane.

Chartie have you played metro on that 1000 ticket server? OMG that gets hectic for that middle flag

HELL NO I WON'T GO!!!

played 1, but the other team decimated us because bunch of noobs, but also spawn raped the crap out of us.
they would just spam the suppression fire from the flag at the bottom, never stood a chance.

well I got my sniper kills, but still couldn't help team cause take 2 down, 3 spawn behind them.

well had some bad lag on the Crak server earlier, but just came from, think it was HOOD, and it was pretty smooth.

@killa hate you and that T-90 on Damavand.
 
Ya that damavand is epic, i hate operation firestorm :eek:, i wish it would be removed from the map list. We rotate servers all night to avoid it :D.

How many peeps dig that map? It's pretty decent on rush though.

We must organize a night and we all jam on a 64 player server :D.
 
Finally getting better. The trick was to print out the maps for reference. I kept on getting disorientated because I didn't know the maps well enough. Now I know where I am and are heading, makes a massive difference. Last night I was consistently in the top lot and often with 2:1 KD. Brilliant. So much more fun when you're not getting killed all the time!
 
I have a weakness, when some sniper or dude who is hiding somewhere potting off everyone I make it my mission to kill him, the problem is I die 4/5 times trying to achieve that task. Last night there was some dude camping above one of our flags in a building so everytime we spawned he would shoot us. It took me a few deaths but I nailed his ass...

nothing more exhilarating. especially when it is some camping dude thinking he is invincible. and not to mention when it is a sniper and you either 1) snipe back, or 2) AT his azz.

still bugging me the inconsistency with weapon damage. last night on Caspian we had a sniper sitting right at the top of Antenna, think the 2nd level from the top. I SMAW'd and got the hit and there should have been a kill, yet other times I find that I have to either hit a guy twice and then other times amazingly actually get a kill from hitting them in the face.

A bit like me, follow 2 team mates around a corner I am always the one that seems to get the bullet in the head

who else always seems to be the only 1 to take the route that the enemy was also thinking of? not those "commonly travelled" paths, the "out of the way" secret ones??

I always find myself getting that "bad luck" and being Rambo can get quite messy when up against full squads.

@bio on maps like that Tehran Highway, I would always get so confused and I would end up spawning at the flag closest to the enemy spawn, then would wonder WTF do I get killed so quickly yet never realizing I am actually spawning on the front lines.

took a few rounds but now I sort of have my bearings :D

btw killa, on the A-91 now and it is just like with the SCAR... I had my doubts but now it is my little puppy :) still has some getting used to on longer range and the bit more recoil, but otherwise I like it mowing down squads.

waiting for my IRNV but must say, the thing looks fugly with that PKA-S Holo (from a 1st person view... haven't looked at it yet from 3rd person)

The a-91 is awesome, distance is a bit of an issue. I have been using the heavy barrel which is helping a bit but i suffer close up.

Perhaps it's just the engineer guns but i get pooned almost instantly from distance while i can barely kill the guy haha, although maybe when i kill a guy from distance he also thinkS it was instant. I have not really used another kit but there must be guns with high damage and low recoil from distance.

Irnv with a91 is insane. The only thing is i find myself always in irnv scope which limits my view range close up but i are liking to be working on it :D

Boring :D. Can never find anything to shoot.

I see there are some IO servers popping up as well.

Operation Firestorm is my favourite map!

Yeah dude, played an IO server a few days ago. The thing that sucks is not enough vehicles! Played on Firestorm and the guys who didn't get into a vehicle (like half the team) had a 600m run to the nearest objective. IO needs more buggies, or a transport heli at least.

Man I feel your pain... this happens to me a lot. I think of it as taking one for the team :p
 
Well I checked my skill again last night after playing and its up at just under 200 if memory serves :D

I also had some fun sniping with the M4OA5. In one round I actually got 5 headshots in a row! Helps when the enemy is crawling though :p

I even had someone calling me a hacker with aim bots! Love it!!! Hehehe

You playing with 64 players? Then there is always something to shoot. I can see anything less being irritating though, the map is pretty big
