BF3 favourite loadout (and best Battlefield moments)

[kilésengati]

"what was it?

says alot about you as a person tbh"

Even though I played BF3 with friends from school for hundreds of hours and got really gud at it (to a point of being accused of cheating and getting kicked for having too good of a KD, one of my friends was better at it still), I can barely remember my loadout.

Almost always played medic.
Loved the Cobra sight and AKs.
Later switched to quick-scoping with bolt action rifles.
Loved that noob revolver as a sidearm, but a Glock was fine, too.
And as a medic, running around shocking everyone was a must.

Such a shame I can't really remember my loadout. But I think BF3 is more about the experience anyway.
My best was stealing an enemy helicopter in Damavand Peak.

What was your favourite loadout and best Battlefield moment in BF3?

Scoped .44

Yes, I'm the guy that runs around with a shotgun 90% of the time and no I will not stop doing it.

I see, one of those, or as we profanely called them: Spas Spacken. ;)

I'll wear it as a badge of honor

I guess it depends on the situation and if I were trying to have fun or win. M16A3, G3A3 was fun, MTAR was golden, M5K, the list goes on.

M16A3. I'm a Medic Main.

I only crashed aerial vehicles with random teammates in them

Or I would just hover over a death zone and take tons of damage and yell at my teammates to do better

I have like 1 hour in all battlefield games.

I remember one time I tried to do sniping.

I went all the way behind everyone, got to a very high position, and slowly snuck up to where I could be perched, but almost completely non visible. I got killed instantly

Not a fan of BF games. Same with CoD. I think Insurgency or Hell Let Loose will be my next game similar to those

I really wish Firearms Source was still being worked on and updated

same
CQC and almost 1 shot 1 kill if you aim it right

best moment was when 2 guys duking it out on mic and everyone went shotgun just to mess with each other and you'd see people just spamming it from close range to long range lmao.

It's been a long time since I played that.

I have always really enjoyed vehicular warfare, myself and my colleagues would work together in tanks and IFVs to keep each other fully supported and fully repaired constantly.

In Rush game modes, we'd usually end up stealing the tanks and IFVs that are normally used by the opposite team to bolster our vehicular army and form impenetrable defences or attacks.

In the larger game modes, we'd usually cruise around the map in all the armoured vehicles we could get our hands on and crush all opposition we came across.

I particularly liked the 2K22 Tunguska-M1 even though the capability of it was severely reduced in comparison to titles like Arma. I would usually always have the Air Radar enabled to keep the entire map surveilled so I could position and respond to any aircraft. The mobile AA vehicles got nerfed quite a bit if I remember right, just like the Mortar that the Support class could use.


Like with Call of Duty, I moved away from Battlefield when I found more realistic titles that didn't bother me so much which such blatant unrealistic disregard for how weapons and vehicles work. Using the 2K22 Tunguska-M1 in Arma 2 with the Mando vehicle realism mod and the Arma 3 reworks from the Community Upgrade Project (I think that is what it called), the Tunguska has the two radars, the J-Band tracking radar (On the turret face) which tracks the target and can pivot independently of the turret to allow the guns to lead the target and the E-band search radar on the top to detect targets. The missiles are guided via radio using the tracking radar using data from either the electro-optical system or the radar itself. This grants the missile total immunity to most countermeasures carried by aircraft as flares are ineffective due to the lack of an infrared seeker (Most modern IR missiles are capable of filtering out flares anyway) and chaff could be defeated by using the semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) functions in the electro-optical system, though I am not sure how chaff would effect a short range tracking radar anyway but you could just manually re-lock the computer to the plane anyway if the lock was broken. The 2A38 quad 30mm cannons are also extremely devastating against almost any target including armoured ones due to the explosive payload combined with the insane rate of fire (Up to 5000rpm) being able to shatter optical sights and smash any other external sensors and weapons the vehicle may have. Aircraft, infantry and light vehicles are ripped apart by these kinds of shells.

Yeah, if you had good team mates that knew how to play medic and engineer, you had a pretty much invincible tank crew. I remember we've stormed the antenna in Caspian Border this way once. Literally an uphill battle that took forever though since half of the server wanted to kill us.

Same goes for me, first of all, online games are only half as fun without people you know in real life and them of course I also got a taste of tac shooters and combat sims starting with Red Orchestra 2. Now that ArmA 3 even has community-made game modes like Battlefield's and decently competent A.I. (most of the time anyway), I'm not sure if I'd want to go back.

Red Orchestra 2, that was a key turning point in my preference for realistic combat games.

The tanks in that could indestructible rolling fortresses of doom when manned with a full crew of competent and communicating team mates. Full-sized rifle rounds being a one-hit kill was a bit refresher when moving out of the arcade military games too, a bit of a shock at the beginning when you find out that rambo, run & gun and solo play styles don't work in that but rewarding in the end. My best shot in that game in which I was proud of is when I shot an enemy from objective C on Mamayev Kurgan all the way to objective E, 203 metres.

True, I also liked that it didn't sanatised the war. At first, I got sick from seeing characters getting disintegrated.

Yeah, the game was quite confronting when I first started.

i enjoyed every minute of it (except air support, infinite chaff and self repair made vehicles stupidly overpowered) people always try to retaliate but then the real fun of trying to track me down begins
