Without others spotting you it can be said that it is easier to move around the map without being seen.

I saw a "platoon " coming in and they died within a split of a second, then everyone started crawling the rest of the game.

I found this the other day if you place 3 c4 on the back of the Abrams or the side of the Bt-90 (good luck with that, if Crazy is in it.. damn took me 5 min the other night to blow him up)They seem the weakest points to me,If you go from the side on them the gunner will get you every time.

Also today I was in a rush server and using the AA tanks to take out Aircraft...Got the guys flying peed off, that one of em asked me "Do you enjoy taking us out or something ,the game is to go for the m-coms" I replied...it is a Anti Aircraft tank right ?

What. Did somebody hear something?

List is in the OP, google spreadsheet. Add you name there, re-apply. Was an effort to keep TPU'ers only on the platoon ranks, so we can actually compare stats with playing TPU members, and not members that are playing with other clans, or what-have-you.

I think most people treat the platoon as more of a fan page to join up and nothing to serious, we join the group to represent and then head off to other random servers. It was the same with Steam, we'd have group pages and what not, but we would rarely actually play together. (which personally was never a concern for me)

when ever i get on to play i always check whose online because i have about 10 friends who are all in the TPU Platoon and from TPU and if they are all playing in the same server or if any of them are playing i will join them

[H82LUZ73]

I`m off for the night,I usually play early mornings late afternoons say 2 am to 7am then 11 or 12 to 6 pm,I was hoping some of the uk members would be on the server at those times but 2 hours on the server is better then none,Good games Rayeth(chased me around canals with the chopper) and Digibuc about 20 mins ago,Oh and thank`s Diggi for the tags

Not too much of a surprise, just to finish the game up. What matters the most is they got it on the engine and framework they had planned on PC, which would have been work they did at the beginning.

It's totally lame IMO to be able to see whats going on around your vehicle at all times. I don't like friendly fire with the normal mode either. if I shoot a team mate I expect them to die (not that I would on purpose). I prefer killing and being killed more quickly. Pumping a clip into someone to kill them is not my idea of fun. I feel that to do well in hardcore mode one must learn to be more tatical. I think it takes a bit more skill to be good in hardcore Vs normal. (Not implying that I'm that good though). There are more reasons I'm sure that I'm just not thinking about right now...

I'll play normal mode from time to time. I don't mind really I just wouldn't play it full time.

I personally like Normal for the things you hate. If I want real war, I will sign up as a bullet catcher in the Army. BF has always been a decent mix of realism and "fakeism". Defibs, Health Packs, and Ammo Box's are just too unreal.

Spotting simulates being there. Think of it like playing on TS with people vs being in the same room as people. On TS it's hard to know exactly how to describe something, "to your left, down that alley". But at that moment they might be facing a different direction then you think, and "that alley" isn't the best description. Where as being in the same room, they can look right at your screen, see what you see, kind of like being in war together. Spotting allows you to say "look down that alley, at the guy I spotted". Now "that alley" + the guy you spotted is good enough info for your Squad members to make a judgement on their next move. It's all about teamwork, and allowing people to communicate things that aren't easily said when you aren't side by side. And spotting helps so much when your squad isn't in voice chat, typing is far too slow, so it's your only way to convey directions to people you don't know.

I can see how 3rd person cameras bother you, not much I can say there except it's not mean to be completely realistic. It bothers me not having that view, but if I was after complete realism, I would play with it off as you do. Friendly Fire though, this just isn't real war, it doesn't work like real war. In real war, you work as a team, you support your fellow soldiers. In BF, your running to the jet, some asshole grabs it, you headshot him out. I see TKing used more to get vehicles you want than anything else. So many times I'm running to a tank and I just get gunned down then watch the guy hop in it and take off. FF On is suppose to make you be careful, but it just seems up in the thick of the shit it doesn't matter as much as it does in your base where the real TKing happens.

Personally though, in BF3 I don't feel a huge difference between Core and HC. I didn't like HC because it had minimap off and crap, but if I land on an HC server with Assists on, thats fine by me, I've had that happen before and not even realized it till someone gets TK'ed next to me.

Meh, since HC promotes camping from a harsher damage model, bullets still ping the map with your nice red triangle that says I want a mortar shell shoved where the sun doesn't shine.

**EDIT**
Which brings me to a point. The Suppressor is easily the best weapon attachment. Right after I attached that to my M60, it just became beast. I would like the bigger clips, but when people come around the corner and have no idea I am there, it's much more advantageous for me. And it hides you from mortars.

oh lord!

Not sure if BF3 is a port, or if they decided to try and get the best experience on all platforms and not just make the console version PC ports.

http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...d-development/

And its not even DICE's fault. EA did the same thing to Crytek with Crysis 2. Forced them to release it early and which resulted in the consoles being lead development.

Done and done.

The thing is, I'm not particularly livid that a company will say something in order to garner support or consumer loyalty, and then do something completely different behind closed doors in order to meet pragmatic realities. Corporations aren't alone in speaking of things as they wish them to be believed, and not as they actually are. That sort of lie has passed through all of our lips.

My only issue with this 'revelation' arises when they now don't allocate the freed resources to back up their original claims. I know personally the terrors of Game Dev Crunch Time and I'm sure DICE staff are relatively exhausted. After a well deserved break however, it is hoped that they will get on with the business of properly supporting their creation as they intended... and I'm not talking about server patches. I'm talking about a working, in-game VOIP system that uses their excellent sound technology to dampen the RATHER LOUD ambient noise BF3 battles produce automatically when people transmit in order to convey squad voices into the ears of players in a way that's still immersive. I'm talking about properly implementing Joystick, Throttle, Knob and Slider support. I'm talking about tweaking whatever Vault Over Stuff parameters they need to in order to have a soldier actually vault through a window they just destroyed the glass of, instead of just bunny hopping infront of it with the Vault animation being worthless begging to be shot during a high intensity Rush game.

Yes, I am bitter. I totally had that MCOM with only 16 tickets left and that window RUINED IT DAMMIT!

What exactly matters here?

[f22a4bandit]

Woah...okay just got d/c'd from the server, and now it's not showing up in my favorites.

[MxPhenom 216]

did anyone else get disconnected from the TPU server? and its not even showing up anymore

Okay its back up, and 0 players

[CDdude55]

I'm guessing the TPU server is down, i was having a good match but then got disconnected and can't find the server anymore.

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah got disconnected too, this happens quite often, they need to fix that
