For those of you playing on PC, I wanted to do a shameless plug really quick for an upstart clan I've developed for Battlefield 3. I'll keep this brief by just listing the following basic information.

Name: Red Cell Clan

Tag: [.red|cell.]

Website: www.redcellclan.com

Country/Timezone: US/Canada

Perks so far:

32-man Battlefield 3 Ranked server

32-man Mumble VOIP server

Clan forum

Free training by me. lol

Requirements:

16+

Headset/mic

STEAM

Origin (EA's Origin game client is required to run the game anyway)

Teamwork

That's about all, guys. The clan itself is currently North American based. I'm not opposed to European members, but you're going to have a hard time in our servers due to the high ping you'd get trying to send & receive data overseas. If there's enough of you who want to be a part of the clan, you can do what our starting members did and buy your own server by each putting in a little bit of money via PayPal and having one of you rent the server out in the name of the clan. That would be kind of neat to have a far-reaching clan with a US and a Euro server. We have plans for expansion into Call of Duty MW3 and Counterstrike: GO, but that will come later on.

Hope to see some of you guys later on, and no; this will not take away any major time I dedicate to LCPD:FR. :yes:

Downloaded BF3 beta while ago, went in game, got my ass kicked (1/12). Rage uninstall. :thumbsup:

BF isn't about K/D. It's about teamplay! :biggrin:

I felt like rage-uninstalling when everyone was prone camping in corners with machineguns.

I know what you mean :D

But as already said it's all about teamplay and of course also getting used to the map. Just throw a grenade to the campers and then rush with flashlight activated - they won't even know what hit em :D

And if you have some good (team-playing) squad members in your back it's even easier...

Please, please try it in a team (over teamspeak maybe) and give it at least 1 hour - you will be surely surprised!

Lol I do that. But just for the sake of my team and to cover them.

Rage un-installing for getting owned? You need to learn some patience. lol Also remember that Punkbuster is currently disabled, shot registration is poor due to bad ping and character model animations aren't tight yet. But like .95, this beta changes every day, but only for official testers and the devs. ;) We get to play with an outdated build.

Lol nevermind I still had it installed and played a bit, kicked some ass by backreaping everyone. :happy:

The damage feels too high and so everyone is camping. I personally think they should lower the damage a bit. Somewhere between BFBC2 and the current BF3 damage system.

It depends on what mode you played in BFBC2, man. I played hardcore, since softcore wouldn't let sniper rifles kill people in one shot unless you hit their forehead. I haven't earned a proper sniper rifle in BF3 yet so I have no idea how they'll react, but currently the damage feels appropriate to me. I will say that the automatically regenerating health doesn't point to hardcore. So hardcore damage may be even more dramatic.

In BFBC2 - Hardcore is appropriate, realistic damage.

In Black Ops - Hardcore is one bullet, anywhere on the body death. Softcore is more appropriate.

Battlefield 3 - TBA for now.
