Ok, I'm either gonna show my age or my lack of gamer knowledge here but... How the hell do we find guys in the platoon (online) to team up? Do I have to "friend" everyone in the platoon? Help a non gamer out!
I only play NCAA football, tiger woods and the Bad Company series so don't make fun of me too much.

Just for clarification...we need to add each other in the Battle log website, or through the console as friends? Which one?
Kind of slow doing it through the console. |

No problem. I don't think you do. As far as I can tell, the whole platoon thing is just for fun. I don't see anything having to do with the platoon, actually effecting anything in-game when you're playing. Originally Posted By RePp:

How do I change optics?
Also, it's pretty annoying spawning right next to an enemy. So far I have about a 2/5 survival ratio in that situation. ETA: it would also be nice to be able to see what position the selector switch is in. And it seems as though engineer is the way to go. I really like the mines also, even though one won't take out a tank entirely. |

You can see what fire mode you have your gun on; it's in the bottom right of the HUD. 1 dot is single-fire. 2 dots is burst fire (not all guns have this) and 3 dots is full-auto. I agree, the Engineer class is hard to beat. For the mines, line all 3 up in a row at a high traffic choke point and the enemy vehicle will normally blow up and you'll get the kill(s). |

Thanks, now I have a suppressor and acog on my scar-h. I play on hardcore so it doesn't show the selector info or ammo amount. It would be nice to have the ammo amount as well on hardcore, or at least the amount of magazines you have. I've been using that strategy with the mines, and it's worked well. I am a helicopter pilot and could not fly the helicopters in bfbc2, the helicopters in BF3 are quite a bit easier and IMO more realistic to fly. ETA: Every time I join a new game on hardcore, the first round I have a kill cam for some reason. After the first round it is no longer active. |

Is it me, or does BF3 have some of the stupidest unlocks?
The Flash Hider reduces muzzle flash but decreases aimed and automatic fire accuracy. The Heavy Barrel increases aimed fire accuracy but increases muzzle rise. It claimes increased accuracy from match grade ammo but does not increase bullet damage. The US/Russian default weapon unlocked last for each class? ALL the specializations. |

I couldn't fly them in BC2. Can't fly them now. On the other hand my 11 year old son caught on to flying them and the jets in less than an hour. |

I hate to say it, but so far, the 2 things I've been excited about unlocking.......quickly turned to disappointment. Those 2 things were the EOD Bot and the Javelin. The EOD Bot is ridiculously clumsy and slow (not that I was expecting anything super easy, as it would be overpowered if it was). The Javelin only has 2 shots (maybe there is a specialization that allows you to carry more rockets? Not sure). I've yet to be able to actually blow up a tank with those 2 shots, only disable them. Also, it's vehicle-lock only. You can't free-fire it. But I will say, I watched a YouTube video that showed a guy doing something that might help. After he got a lock on a tank, he would quickly aim skyward and immediately fire. So it would come down onto the top of the tank. |

I have to lay into someone with the m4. So far it's been the H&K M416 I been laying it down with. Sometimes I use the M4A1, and it does gets the job done. |

I still think it's weird that you can make/edit your clan tag while actually playing the game.

I was in a game last night and was playing opposite of a squad that had over a dozen of the same clan tags. (PLS) I think? Anyway, these guys were kicking the shit outa the team I was on. We really need to figure out how we can all join a game together to do the same. I know it's been asked but I didn't get a real clear answer. Do I need to add all u guys individually on my console? The few I added on the Battle-log didn't show up as friends on the console so I am beyond confused.

That's the last launcher you unlock. I've maxed out the Engineer class as of last night. After the javelin, you unlock the G36 (which I love, BTW), and then you unlock the "acquired" M4A1 and 74U. Meaning, you can then use them no matter what country you're playing for. The very last thing for the Engineer class is some rifle that you can only unlock with a shit-ton of Co-Op points. Doubt I'll be getting that one. |

I however don't like unloading a mag on someone and then it seems like I get one shotted all the time. |

I however don't like unloading a mag on someone and then it seems like I get one shotted all the time. Why play TDM in BF anyways? There is only one mode - CONQUEST. RUSH is a distant second. Rush I feel I have an objective to complete while putting my foot up the ass of others. Conquest I feel like a dog chasing my tail, but I suppose it's okay. TDM I agree. Spawned and pwned is not fun to me. |
