Ok so wait... If you use both hands on the keyboard how do you shoot?

Spacebar.

Small rant but want to make sure its just not me....

Is it just me or has bullet registration on close quarters been bad?

That aside Im loving it (playing since prerelease) but there are a lot of spawn issues that get annoying. My biggest issue with spawns are when Im clearing a room and suddenly someone spawns in front of me (i dont spawn camp), I start unloading and can go through a WHOLE magazine, they dont die and instead their character moves around like he is getting shot but no damage, then im empty and they kill me. Its frustrating since at this point I can just run away since they will get me and in the end they dont die and still kill me.

You get 2 seconds of spawn protection when you spawn. You can turn or aim, but if you actually move or shoot then the spawn protection goes away.

I think what is happening is that I see the person and instantly shoot causing the protection to stay enabled for the person Im shooting. I hate spawn killing someone but In those cases it happens its either shoot them or they shoot me. I have noticed if I wait for them to move then I can kill them so you must be right about that protection. I dont want to get flamed for this cause I literally only do it when its a kill or be killed situation. I dont spawn camp people.

Thanks for the info +rep

I was playing on Firestorm last night using the US AA. I went 17-1, (16 vehicles destroyed, got another anti-vehicle medal and 8th AA star so it was a good round) and then when the return round started I sprinted for the Tunguska. Then it all went white, and I was kicked. I think one of the jet pilots must have been an admin. First time I was kicked for being good.

Here is my new battlefield 3 adventure a tank battle this time:

That movie just made me want to play tonight. Been so busy lately with work and family stuff lately

I think I just experienced the weirdest thing/bug ever. Suddenly the menu that is activated by Q showed up and started flashing, fast on and off. I couldn't stop it. I tried alt tab and my mouse was also moving really weird, fast on the left side fast on the right side like it went nuts. Thought I have virus which is nearly impossible cuz I'm kinda of an expert on that field and no infection for 4 years. It stopped immediately after quitting bf3. Please tell me I'm not alone.

That spawn protection really sucks, if you're not the one spawning in. Just have to learn if someone is standing in a spot/spawn motionless it means they are probably deploying, and don't even bother firing until they move. This also means it is smart to NOT move when you are spawning in, so that someone watching you spawn in can unload and you have 2 seconds of invincibility to then return fire.


Nice, wish I could record sometimes. I've done some ownage in tanks, love taking the choppers out. I usually run with autoloader, smoke and guided shell. If I can get a soflam or 3rd tank seat/gunner then I can kill loads of choppers with the guided shell, or even the main tank cannon when I'm doing particularly well.
