[Megathread] Battlefield 3

[Sackman]

you misunderstand, not score as in experience/point score for doing things (100 for revive, 110 for squad revives etc), i mean skill score, http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...2/1/363588975/

2nd MVP, highest scorer for our team, 1 kill 16 deaths, but if you scroll down to stats (just below the scoreboard) it says: Skill level
-63.04

Probs something to do with the skill level of the people you are playing, aswell as all the things you did in game.

It's kinda fun when you go on a 10+ killing spree with a tank, but then run Into a mine and blow up. Has happened many many times to me.

Skill level afaik is based on people you've killed, so if you kill someone higher rank or higher skill then you your skill will go up but if you get killed by someone lower rank then you it goes down

I had a negative skill level in the game where I went 0-2 for 4500 points. It's based on kills, not points earned.

[Rixis]

meh, kinda weird how skill level is based on only 1 element of the game, explains why even though i contribute rather highly to our prevention of ticket loss and pushing for objectives, i still have shit in the ground minus skill scores though i suppose

Kinda noob question, but how can I enable the platoon tag before my nickname ingame?

go to your profile, click "Edit Profile", then put in a clan tag

[McNeil]

I guess I should take some time updating my Origin account... was just finished updating my Facebook account >.<

[Nebthet]

So I can't use my platoon's default tag, which is [XYZ] (3 letters between brackets)? Because it's too long :|

[Mega Gengar]

Don't input the brackets, it auto does it

Aha thanks! It did sound just too weird lol

Ive seen people ask for servers where they can practice your flying skills etc.

My clans server has the player limit removed and the server is most of the time empty in the night (from 0:00am - 12:00pm) if the server has a jet map you can practice your flying on him if you want.

Just search for Clanvertigo and you will find him.

Really wish they would ditch the retarded ass rank system and use real ranks, not a fan of sticking a star under a rank and calling it private 1star. Dunno what that gold colonel shit is that i keep seeing. They need to just pick a branchs rank system and use it because their system looks retarded.

[wombinator04]

I'll probably not even ever play recon. Can you say boring and useless for the team? (excluding a few unlockables)

If the SCAR would carry more bullets, I'd be at 25+ kills every game. That gun Is goooooooooooooooood.
Also, does anyone else have a glitch on the SCAR where you reload It only puts 20 bullets Instead of 21? On Xbox It keeps doing this.

If you don't like it piss off? All I see you do is complain about every single aspect of the game, if you don't like it stop playing. It's annoying seeing you make posts like that all the time.

[Rixis]

i never minded the rank system, nothign special about it, it just never stuck me as a bad thing

i loooooooooove conquest, and 64 man just gives me so many more chances to get levels up and shit, still hating the skill level thing, my latest game: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...6/1/363588975/ but apparantly my skill level is in the minus 40s >.>

and thanks for the clanvertigo link, favourited it so i can practice my jet/helicopter flying some time

Sorry but i dont enjoy made up ranks in a game thats trying to simulate military combat. Its not hard to make a decent rank system, they did it in BF2, there wasnt any of thise private 1 star, private 2 star, private 3 star shit. Its stupid to be high 20s rank wise only to realize oh im some made up NCO rank that doesnt really exist, and trust me tuesday i wont be playing this much longer untill the map pack comes out.

Im pretty sure it will only put an extra round in if you have ammo left when it realods, the Scar H normal sized Mag only holds 20 rounds, in order to have 21 it would have to have one in the chamber with a full clip. Doing this from a dry rifle is impractical in combat since you would have to put the bolt back and slot a round into the chamber by hand.

[Mega Gengar]

Not just talking about ranks, you complain about everything. Never mind though, found the ignore user button.

[rol3x]

Names of a ranks is the last thing I even noticed in BF3, the rest of the game must be pretty damn amazing for such a minor thing to be worth posting about.
