Most Epic Battlefield 3 Moments

Red is bail-out and about the most important button you will have early on.

But yeah, jump in, die, die again, die again lol. Tip for turning, learn how to tilt the plane sideways then pull back on the stick. Takes practice but an essential technique as it forms the basis for other moves.

So from this (plane level and neutral): ^
To this (banked left): <

Then pull back to go "up" and you go left instead.

EDIT - Ooops missed you post ZH. XBox Controller makes a world of difference. The downside is they added vibration support but no option to disable it. So when I swap back to infantry, BUZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Yes!!!! I have the same annoyance with vibrate! Soooooo annoying when.on foot. It vibrates even when you jump! If anyone finds a hack to disable it, please share!!!!

@LosOjos - How are you getting on with the 360 controller? Become the next Maverick yet?

Does anyone know if you can change the sensitivity of the 360 controller sticks? Turning with the mouse seems to be a lot tighter then with the 360 controller so I want to up the sensitivity but can't see anywhere to do it.

Ha! I wish! No unfortunately I was so busy this weekend I only got 30mins of Battlefield in and decided I wanted to spend as few of those as possible alive so I wimped out on the flying! I'll give it a go later though!

Don't know about tuning sensitivity, but have you seen these pads, they look awesome and I have to have one: Razer Onza Tournament Edition Xbox 360 Controller - RZ06-00470100-R3G1 - Scan.co.uk

I found that the default settings for jets were fine, just bind space bar to pitch up and tap your afterburners during turns.

Have to love the frostbite engine.

Battlefield 3 – 1000 Mines Video | EGMNOW

1000 mines in a domino effect with the end result being a tank flying through the sky.

[nephilim]

2 tanks

My epic moment...in 1 round...4 medals + engineer service star + 3 weapon service stars, 26 ribbons....ranked up from 25 to 28 in 1 hit!

[nephilim]

Right...got the Back to Karkand DLC....hardest xbox/ps3 achievement = Complete warrior...in 1 life get a kill with the jet,tank and assault rifle...absolute beast, however a mate of mine did it on Kharg Island so it is doable ...however you MUST have the DLC to get the achievements.

[captaincharisma]

I had better learn to fly then!

[nephilim]

Yeah...I NEARLY did it, but got taken out after I got the jet and tank kill! Was knifed from behind, was so gutted! lol

[CAM]

I haven't had a chance to try multi yet (was polishng off co-op) but the guns looks nice. Q series of guns are just strange, but L96 I want. Wonder if it's reputation will carry over from CS in it's other guise of AWP.

That G53 SAS is strange mind you. It's meant to be a short barrel version of the G3 but it looks like an MP5 with a chunkier magazine!

[nephilim]

Its a mix between the both to be fair....

[CAM]

Had fun last night. On one of the new maps I was on a skyscraper with a sniper rifle. Incoming heli "Get your SOFLAM on that thing!" After three attempts at locking on due to LOS or IR Flares we Jevelin'd it. Just before it fired rockets to hose the rooftop.

Didn't get lucky second time round mind you.

If a plane or chopper is laser designated then their flares are worthless as the javalin is laser guided not heat guided, thats why the soflam + javalin are under used and under appreciated, one hit kills on aircraft
