the only problem I have is that I'm unable to log in on the Battlelog. I keep getting the message I don't have the game even though I'm already level 8 and cleared the co-op

Is shotgun sniping OP in this?


Are you referring to the fact that the shotguns actually have a range further than the COD standard of 5 feet? If so, then I'll just say this. I've been chopping fuckers in half with the 870. I think you can probably kill somebody a good 15(?) yards with a couple of well placed shots. But yeah, shotguns are actually a viable weapon category in this game. I've never gotten the chance to experiment much with them as I'm usually busy trying to unlock attachments to make my new guns usable in a firefight.

As a sidenote, I've found that all my time playing Rage has paid off for me in multiplayer as I'm a wicked awesome driver for the jeep/humvee. I'm only so-so with the tank and helicopter, and I'll need some practice with the jet before I'll be anywhere near effective at flying it.


Yeah that's what I meant. I tried the beta and thought the 870 + 12g slugs and scope was like the best thing ever. I mean giving shotgun realistic range is awesome but I couldn't tell if this was always in the BF series and is this considered OP or a norm. I know shotguns can reach at least 150 yards. Has it been nerfed or typically the same still?

So I noticed on the attack helicopter loadouts, the pilot and gunner have individual loadouts. So can I, as a gunner, take stealth and it will benefit the helicopter while the pilot takes autoloader and gets the benefit from that?

Also how does a gunner fire his IR flares (Xbox)? The usual gadget button did not seem to work for me. Lastly, if we each use IR flares, do they work on separate cooldowns?

Thanks for any info.

Edit: Someone else has told me that the gunner can only use his flares if the pilot doesn't have them. Haven't had a chance to try it out.

The shotguns in Bad Company 2 had similar range, so it's not anything new. With their given range and power, they're about on par with some of the SMGs on average. However, at near point blank range, they're powerhouses.

Anyone wanna squad up on Xbox live :D

Anyone want to trade a Dr. Pepper code for a Physical Warfare code?

Just pm me about it and I can trade you one.
0
That trade sounds pretty one sided, considering that you're only offering a code that anybody can get by drinking a soda. A code, might I add, which only unlocks dogtags. In contrast, the Physical Warfare pack, which unlocks multiplayer guns, can only be obtained by pre-ordering the game and is pretty much no longer available until DICE decides to put them out as a most likely purchasable download.

Why would I trade for a Dr.Pepper code? Just wait until it become DLC.

you know the psychical warfare pack will be a free DLC eventually due to massiv outrage from the BF3 community on all consoles. just google it

What outrage? I don't see any real problem from the game other than the occasional lag and server connections dropping. Even then, that can be fixed in good time.

Oh sorry I worded it wrong..

I have the physical warfare pack code. All I want for it is a Dr. pepper code.

The store gave me an extra code so I pretty much have no use for it.

I believe that we don't have the dr. pepper code here in canada and thats why I want one.

Also, the code I have is for pc

Wish the TV-guided missiles wouldn't bounce off from tanks / helicopters / jets / trees.. Would have so many more kills. Or then sometimes it'll detonate but give you no credit on kill / disabling a vehicle.
But those few times when it works right and you blast the other side's attack helicopter from other side of the map... It's just great.

Heck, getting called a hacker by those you just shot down, for having the missile unlocked isn't that rare.

Anyone come across that horrible bug where you become invincible (in most ways)? Happened to me a few days ago. After getting a few kills I realized people were shooting me and nothing was happening. I stood in-place trying to let them kill me, trying to show them it was not my intention to be unkillable. Tried to nade myself, then eventually committed suicide from the menu.

Recently had an enemy take full advantage of it, camping our spawn. Jerk.

I never had that happen to me. However, one of my friends and I had an enemy attack chopper take four stinger missiles up the ass (back to back) from the both of us and we didn't get so much as a puff of smoke out of it. Guy didn't deploy flares and we watched as the missiles made contact. To add to this, the guy seemed like a newbie pilot as he looked to be having trouble flying the thing around in the first place as the chopper kept dropping a little too low to the ground and he eventually crashed into one of the buildings. Only reason we bothered to shoot him down was that he apparently knew how to use the choppers missile pods.

besides the occasional Server issues I'm having a blast with this game. Still got to learn how to fly the yet and chopper
