Hmmm, I was likely tired of regular Rush shenanigans and looking to play Squad Rush anyways.

Any rate, yes, there has been some side discussion during play of forming up for competition.

I've been doing some research and want to make things as easy as possible for everyone.  Give me another day or two and I will post on this again with more info and comments.

Standby for now.  In them meantime, play on!

A couple of quick notes:

1.  Team roster can include up to 24 players.  I don't think we have that many in the Xbox platoon that play regularly (at least, not on the ARFCOM leaderboard), so we should be good for some growth.
2.  The next ladder for gamebattles will begin immediately after March 31st @ 9pm EST.   So we have a little time to organize and practice, not much though.

For now, check out www.majorleaguegaming.com and get started reading.  Rules are long and there is a lot to learn.

And here I thought all the Arfcom regulars weren't playing anymore. We had a group on BC2, but a lot of those guys barely touch any game these days. I'm up for joining whatever you guys have planned, just know that most days I'm on late in the evening. BradC34 on X360.

Best thing to do to friend us up is go to the platoon page on Battlelog, click on a member, and send the friend request from our profiles.  Easier than doing it via the Xbox interface.  That's the way I did it, but to each their own.

Think I played a bit with some of you tonight, early.   Hopefully I'll get to join up with you fellas again.

I don't normally run a the AR15 clan tag any more,   During the COD4 days, we were kind of unstoppable, and everyone would drop out when they saw a whole team of arfcommers.   Haven't run it since.  We started running individual tags to confuse folks.

Yeah, that first match was golden.



Squadded up with Loki, and a couple of others who I can't remember right now (), and joined a Rush match.



I got spawned on the opposing side, and wound up in a squad with Guns. Thought I'd accidentally joined the wrong game, so I bailed, and joined in progress on Loki again.



Same thing happened.



Hilarity ensued.





Got Chevy's 'tags tonight.

Was playing in the CQ server last night.  Shot down someone in an F-35 with an RPG from a good distance on Wake Island.

I think the enemy had three helos up and possibly one or both of our jets as well.  Launching RPG's at low flying UH-1Y and AH-1Z and F-35's kinda made the ass whooping a little more enjoyable.

Finally started playing BF3 again this past week. Joined the platoon an eternity ago, but never really followed up (apologies to the arfcommer who added me on XBL and with whom I never played a single game of BF3 ). Is there a way to interact with the platoon from within BF3's interface, or is this just a convenient system for like... putting everyone's stats together, and figuring out who to add on xbl?

OK. Who here is [ARF]gun builder and WhoIsJohnGalt? I was in a game with those two earlier. Had to be ARFCOMers.



Also, is anyone else having issues with the double XP this weekend? Some servers I get additional points, some I don't.

Got booted and then banned from the server when I killed someone that jumped out of their attack heli into their spawn.  Then next map I get shot down over their spawn, bail out of the Flanker and launch an RPG at the AH-1Z when someone jumped in before I died from out of bounds....there was a max of maybe 5 players in the room at the time....

Not sure I quite understand your post, but the red part makes me believe you were in their spawn, is that correct? If so, all of our servers clearly state no Spawncamping/killing, I.E. hovering a heli over enemies spawn point, or doing continuous strafing runs on the enemy landing strip.

It sounded to me like in both cases he was in the spawn only incidentally. In the first, he wasted a guy who'd bailed out of his helicopter while over his own spawn (whatever, that guy hadn't just spawned, he was fair game. You can't run and touch a tree and call 'base!' in Battlefield.) and in the second instance, he just happened to be over the enemy spawn when he got shot down and, while descending, wasted an enemy helo that was about to take off.

ETA: Furthermore, all those base-rape rules are for crybabies. You only get 200 points for finishing a game, and a whole new server is less than 30 seconds away at any moment. Start -> quit -> multiplayer -> quick match -> find a server.

It was on Caspian and we were right outside of the RU spawn when he bailed out.  Battle started at Gas Station check point and ended over the edge of the spawn (close to the AA gun actually).  He bailed, and I gave chase.

Spot on.

The thing that really made me upset was that there wasn't anyone in the server.  Six people max.  When you don't have any targets and already control all the objectives, I tend to want to hunt something to shoot.

I'm not the type of player to ignore objectives and head straight to the enemy spawn.  Which I would have no problem being kicked/banned for.  

Also, doesn't the server rule indicate three kicks before a ban?

Sorry I didn't understand your post then. I'm not sure about the 3 kick/ban rule, some admins may follow it. What is your gamertag, I'll see if I can't pull you from the ban list.
