Battlefield 3 - Xbox Thread, Player Lists and that

[toffee]

BF games work best as part of a friendly squad, and banter on the mic makes it more fun.

How This Works
1. Add your name to the list of players by posting in this thread
2. Send Xbox Friend Request to those people who are already on the list
3. Join the "Platoon" if you like, and add the "favourite servers" . That's just a bit of "fluff" though. The Friends request is the important bit.

BF3 Players who welcome Friend Requests.
If you want adding to this list, let me know, I won't add anybody without their explicit permission, even if I know you play a lot!
I have added a link to their xbox account, so it makes it easy to send a friend request from your browser, just click on the Gamertag

Favourite Servers

I picked a few servers at random - the idea here is you add these to your favourite server lists and start there.

Find these servers in the server browser list. To do this:
Go into Filter (press right stick)
Turn on Europe only for region
Include servers that are full
Turn off Official EA servers (so only DICE appear)
Then search for each game type ONE AT A TIME. So start with COnquest, make sure that is only type picked. You should then only have several screens to scroll through to find the ones listed below.
Then select the server with "A" and add to your Favourites.

The idea is to try these servers first for a random game. They are DICE servers so you can always Queue if needs be.

-[DICE]- Normal Server 1999 : CONQUEST
-[DICE]- Normal Server 2222 : CONQUEST
-[DICE]- Normal Server 2500 : RUSH
-[DICE]- Normal Server 2470 : RUSH
-[DICE]- Normal Server 2780 : TDM

[WeaselFierce]

Please add me. :thumbs:

Good to see a lot of the forum folks on this.

[MrLee]

I've joined the platoon. I'm in the US so might not be on much at the same time as you guys but would much prefer not to play with randoms.

Can you add me please :)

Nice one Toffee.

[arsenalfc]

Xbox player here tag is g4rrrrrr
Will request to join the platoon now.

Edit: battlelog is down at the moment.

[reecie]

Add me please. I'm in the platoon already

Should be fun. xbl = khasar

[MR_MAN]

Gamertag CoolStew will be on tonight not tried co-op yet so if you fancy a game.

[platty]

In the platoon already , add me please

xbl= mysteron64

[toffee]

OK, all added to list and platoon!

[rh67]

I wanna play!

XBL: Rustmonster1982

[DSG]

Add me to the list mate :)

[toffee]

OK done. Just an idea though, if you want to play with the others, just joining the platoon is not enough.

You need to:

1. Send Friend Requests to others already on the list in post 1 via Xbox live
2. Join the Platoon
3. Send Friend Requests within the battlelog to others in the platoon.

its a shame 1. and 3. are not integrated, but there you go.
Also the Platoon stuff is really just a bit of "fluff". The FR is the important bit if you want to actually play with others.

[slh]

sorry, I'm playing on PC not 360. when MW3 comes out I'll see u on the console :)

[toffee]

Well I don't plan on buying MW3, so maybe not.

I added some stats graphics.

[WeaselFierce]

Good games last night. :thumbs: Only dampened by the fact I was violated by a fellow platoon member who slit my throat like a kipper and nabbed my dog tags. :(

[toffee]

couldn't join last night, but will be on tonight at some point, after bonfire night party.

The fireworks going on will add to the realism.

[Out for Justice]

I was a little drunk last night so appologies for any drunken ramblings.

I got a few dvdf dogtags though but I didn't get yours though (I don't think)


Edit: Is there an easy way to find those servers (first post)? There are 1000 of them and in no particular order. There is a search on the Battlelog site but they seem to be PC ones.

[WeaselFierce]

That would have doubled the outrage! :p

[RichB]

I joined late, got into the game but was on the other side to all you guys
One guy I knew on my squad left and joined your team as we began operation Metro

I was way too stoned to deal with that debacle again, so promptly quit

[Out for Justice]

There were so many of us, it was hard to all get on the same team especially if that team were spanking the other. Both sides had TDF members on them all night.

[toffee]

Filter em, with the right stick button press thing. so to find the CQ maps, turn on only CQ, turn off the "official EA" servers, and there should only be several pages to scroll through to find em, of 90% DICE servers.

[richie-t]

Add me up please :(

Will give that a try. After scrolling through 88 pages yesterday I only found one.

Hmmm...

Any idea why my player stats haven't updated after my online session on Sunday night with mostly and RichB?

I was hoping my 5 kills and 800 deaths would be there! ;-)

I think you might need to click on the graphic to update it. I just did that for you.

[Blokie]

Cheers! Stats are horrific, but not as bad as I thought, and I had fun (and some bad luck, obviously!!).

[Out for Justice]

Thank god I don't have the highest 'played for' time. ;)

[WeaselFierce]

Thank god I don't have the highest 'played for' time. ;)

Who's got that then? :suspect:

[cedge]

You, going by the stats although they are a little out of date, but still that's quite impressive :eek:

[WeaselFierce]

And not one top player spot for all that hard work! The outrage!!! :razz:

I'd would love to play more, tonight's session was a blast even if I embarrassed myself ;-)

xbl: killeribe

Yay I now know how to deploy parachutes .. (thanks toffee)

can i be added to the list too plz?

[toffee]

hey, thanks for the games! Shame you did not learn how to open your parachute *before* the base jump level, ha!

[amkhan]

Shut up :D

[toffee]

oh - and you were asking about the defib - i see you unlocked that now, it was 4,000 assault score. but you may need to equip it. some of these things don't auto equip when you unlock, can't remember if that one does.

[amkhan]

looking forward to using that ghost buster style on the bad guys if the game permits :lol:

unlocked it yesterday whilst playing; was as happy as a pig in **** :thumbs:

[RichB]

CLEAR!

[hardtofin]

hardtofin - hardtofin

[The-Colonel]

Add me to list please
dre evan gamertag

[MR_MAN]

anyone up for a co-op mission tonight. want to get the helicopter one done.

[hardtofin]

Do you guys use voice and therefore team work?

I've added every player on the list, no ones been on all day though. Do you guys play a lot?

hardtofin.

[toffee]

ok - accepted your FR. Generally people use voice, yes. Personally, I play a few nights a week, from around 8pm.

[RichB]

Got your friend's request but haven't been on the xbox over the weekend
TBH I haven't played BF3 for a while now, it needs patching and so much stuff came out close to its release it's hard to find the time to get to it (and I'm a lazy sod!)

I will return to it in the future, just not sure when

That's the nice thing about the Batlefield games, they have a very loyal community

[SGP_Mustang]

Just bought this, anyone feel free to add me!

[Out for Justice]

I'm being leaned on to play this tonight. Anyone around?

Anyone ever read this thread?

[WeaselFierce]

I'm being leaned on to play this tonight. Anyone around?

I was on with Rich and Geebeevee last night - as you well know trying to guilt trip me for abandoning Skyrim!

Be on late tonight if anyone's up for a game. ;)

[Out for Justice]

I am rubbish at COD now - It's as if my hand-eye coordination has been lobotomized.

At least with BF3, nobody will notice any difference.

[Ghost Dog]

Got this from Gamestation yesterday as they have reduced it to £29.99 and they ahd a few copies of the limited edition left too (took a while to download the updates lol), so add me to the list in the first post.

[toffee]

Anyone ever read this thread?

i actually missed this yesterday!

But I will be playing this tonight, and I fully intend to bring da ruckus.

[Out for Justice]

The new maps aren't bad at all. Might have to play it a little bit more this week.
