Depends on the game I would say, grenade launchers in Black Ops were a really lame weapon.
In Black Ops? In Modern Warfare 2, sure. In Black Ops? Flak Jacket. If you don't use it, you're being countered. Sure... it sucks giving up Ghost, but if you don't and you get killed by something that counters you, it's not lame.
EDIT: Not to mention the guy using the GL is giving up Dual Mags/Suppressor/Optical Sight/Extended Mags etc...
Anyone able to get their battle feed working on consoles? 360 specifically
Yea mine works just fine. You need an EA account (free) enter the code that came with the game an have BF3 in your owned games list. Then go to the URL listed ingame
I have a EA account where do i put the code in at and how do i get there?
Anyone able to help with this? Their website actually works now thankfully since I can login now instead of getting the "You must purchase Battlefield 3" message
Yeah I put in the code that came on the sheet of paper for online access, but still no battlelog unfortunately. Would be great to be able to check my stats on the fly
Unlocked the M40A5 for my recon kit. Such a pain to use without the straight bolt.
I found Close to Midrange sniping/supporting is how I play recon best. Get in, plant beacon, set up MAV at a corner or a rooftop for motion detection and HEADSHOT ALL THE THINGS!
Had a 16 kill streak using SV98 defending a cap point from a US rush over 60 seconds. I eventually got overrun.. but it was a valiant stand! The M9 is an amazing pistol. It's also getting buffed next patch which will make it more amazing.

They are rather irrelevant in BO, it takes 1, maybe 2x being tubed to figure out who's doing it and where they are most of the match. After that, you can make them look rather pitiful.
Plan to use M40 whenever I get it. I think I got 1 star in M95 in BC2, rest of the time it was M24 (same weapon) Don't play sniper much though, too boring. I think if I played engi the whole time I'd be ~10 levels higher. It's seriously easy to get 3-7k points a match.

I only play Engi and Recon.
SV98 is a major step up from the Mk 11.
Also M24 was beast in BC2, but the GOL will always remain the best.
Assault and Recon here. Depends on the map really. I've been spamming Recon lately because I want to unlock the M98 but it's really hurting on some maps. I still have 0 points in engi and support.. one of these days I'll try it.
I always seem to do terrible on Firestorm (Conquest) Something about that map..
I love the SV98. So far it's by far my favorite weapon to use, it's just finding a good spot to set up and start using it that's seemed to be a problem for me lately.
The SKS is pretty good when you put a foregrip and a low-end scope (or even IRNV) and don't spend time trying to snipe, but using it more like an assault rifle. I use a suppressor on it as well.. What it lacks in rate of fire it makes up for in accuracy and damage. I've actually killed more people with it than I have with the A-91 or the UMP45, both of which I've used twice as long as the SKS.
I also love how in the description of the A-91 it says the design prevents mounting it with a foregrip, but foregrip is the 3rd unlock for it.

Probably has more to do with the people shooting at you than the map...
wow dude, 100% engineer? I was doing engineer 100% myself but started diversifying my kit. I'm trying to get even across the board. The weapon unlocks for all kits really allow you to put in 'time' to all your kits without losing your ability to effectively kill
So far I can't tell any difference between the M40 and the SV98.. they almost seem identical. Maybe it's there for 400+ shots but under that? It feels like the same gun.
Personally people who play recon piss me off lol. You need like 2-3/ out of 16 to play Recon, that's it. Then 1 medic/support per squad, 1 mortar and the rest engineer. The class is a beast and handles infantry, buildings, vehicles, whatever like a boss

Depends on the Recon. When I actually try and use the SKS set up I mentioned above, I can be on-par or better than the other classes in kills, captures, whatever. If we're fighting hard for a flag, and the enemy is defending it heavily, I can just put down the mobile spawn and keep coming back, no need to run from one flag to the one we're trying to capture and waste time letting them set up defenses again.
Yes but more than 2-3 people doing that and everyone else as medics for lolpoints = lose. In 60s one engi and support rearming him can put up enough mines that enemy tanks will never breach an area.
Assault recon is different than sit on the boat playing sniper wars recon (and I don't play a lot of CQ)
I was at a 2:1 win ratio and I've been overloaded with teams that want to snipe and lose lol
I play recon very aggressive. I'm up on the frontlines trying to get angle shots on people and scouting with my MAV. (MAV is f'ing amazing)
On maps like Highway I use my MAV 100% of the time and get between 120(bad team) and 180+(Good team) Surveillance assists by mass marking everything for the guys on the ground.
Meanwhile we have 5 recons perched on the cliffside of our base taking potshots and going 2-0 the entire map.
May have already been brought up, but to lazy to read threw all the pages.
When I try to update and install "Browser Plugin" in battle log, it never downloads, just keeps saying "installing". Anyone have similar problem / solution?

Never had that problem. My guess would be any anti-virus programs or firewalls that could be preventing the install. If you have windows 7, check your UAC settings. (just start->run-> UAC)
From what my brother is telling me (he has both versions) there is aim assist but it's infinitely less accurate than the PC version. Moreso than BFBC2 which I thought was great.

I didn't realize there was an aim assist on pc version
Decided to go ahead and make a thread on it since there isn't one yet, and wanted to see who all is getting it?
Well PC version anyways, I hate playing FPS on console, it's one of the few (maybe the only?) genre where playing on PC actually makes the most sense (due to keyboard/mouse rather than controller. Mouse makes for far better reaction times, using a keyboard takes some getting used to though). If you plan on getting it on PC we should hook up in game and pop some heads. :).
I will be pre-ordering it, nothing could stand in my way of getting it.. I'm a huge Battlefield fan, and have been since 1942.
I was actually in a state of shock when I saw that 3 was on it's way.. I hadn't actually kept up on the next/newest installments, and while I love BC and BC2, there's just no Battlefield on console that compares to BF2 (and arguably, no FPS on console period that does).
