This is a neat idea for a reality show.

Muwha. Fate is a cruel bastard, I go to buy a BF3 copy today and my free copy comes through also. Of course, he decided to go Newegg, since they still have Limited Edition. He shipped it to himself...even though billing & shipping address can be different...said he wanted a physical copy for his game...kinda annoyed me, but I'll still get the Key in the end. So an extra Key...either going to give it to my cousin when I get it, or see what I can trade it for.

Why the hell does it say hooah on the battlelog?

 

[Z Power]

Like and Thumbs up are used too much apparently.

 

[Zeonix]

Hooah isn't even the right goddamn branch.

You know what's awesome about this game? Spawning in the middle of a firefight every. *******. Time.

Oh common man, just spawn at the base, get a vehicle and drive the enemies outside.
Also prone works good when laying in the grass but remember that killcam always reveals where you are so be prepared to get back stabbed.

Protip:
Don't play at 64 servers (way to many spots where players could be and you'll often get shot before you can make the kill).
Get on a 16/24 or maybe 32 server max and you'll have a better killing position (more vehicles that are just standing there for you ect).

Edit:
I could use some friends on battlefield 3. Add me if you want a co-op partner or someone to chat to: 'Measuring'
Or view my battlelog page and add me through that

WOW MAN THANKS FOR THE TIPS IVE BEEN PRONING OUT ON TOP OF VEHICLES THE ENTIRE TIME LOL

Killcam only works when the server has it activated. I prefer servers that don't, as half the fun for me is counter-sniping.

Can't really say people are too many in 64 player maps. If you're able to spot a lot of small things before your enemy, then you're a long way down the road. This is probably one of the reasons I'm usually among the best players on the map.

You don't even need to know the maps. Just know wich direction the flag is and shoot anyone that stops you.

Also, my soldier's name is "Didgy". I am a team player, my squad is the best help I give and get. I'd love to get more people to play with.
