Introduction

A step by step guide to tools, techniques, automobiles, and generally being a much better person

With Battlefield 3 having actually offered even more copies at launch than all of the other games in the series combined, there are certainly going to be a great deal of new members getting involved in the legendary BF multiplayer for the first time right about now. This is a good thing. New blood and new individuals with whom to share the rich tapestry of incendiary wonders that is Battlefield.

However Battlefield can be puzzling at first. Over-awing, in reality. There are lots of things you need to find out to do, and many thing to have to find out to never do ever. It isn't really like additional multiplayer shooters, but its rewards are much greater. So I've compiled here a refresher course of strategies, tricks, rules and fundamental great Battlefield manners to ensure that you're both beneficial and favored in the battle. It'll make you much better at Battlefield, and it'll make you a better human being general.

Don't Do the Following Ever!

1. Don't fly the chopper if you cannot fly the chopper

Seriously, do not do it. I know it's attractive to sprint from your base implementation directly to that huge shiny whirly-bird ahead of you the very first time you play Battlefield 3 online. You wish to be the cool one. You wish to be the rising, unseen killer. You want to be the man raining flame and death from above in your nigh-impervious, vengeful sky-chariot. You wish to be the guy who gets the chirpy salutes and earnest, purposeful, slow-moving responds from your team, as you fly away into the sundown knowing that once again it was your safe transport that got your men where they had to go, and got them there safe. But seriously, those things are to control at first, and if you do not get some solo practice in prior to you set yourself up as the bus driver of the paradises you'll simply plough your whole squad down into a barbeque of twisted metal and disappointment within seconds of lifting off. And that's going to offer the team respawn an actually bloody awkward ambience.

2. Don't drive off in the jeep if it isn't full

There's an explanation it has several seats. If you hear gunfire coming from behind you as you speed from your base the 2nd after your battle-eager arse hits the driver's seat, it's not since the adversary have all of a sudden appeared. It's because you have actually accelerated an empty car far from a couple of potential wing-men who do not have head-sets, simply as they got close sufficient to see the 'Get in auto' button prompt. And they're now actually, actually pissed off with you. And they're right to be. You're a twat.

Oh yeah, treat a jeep as a unique personal transport meant just for you if you wish to. But great luck when an unforeseen hail of gunfire causes a flaming radiator and you recognize that you left your vehicle-fixing Engineer jogging along in your dust three quarters of a mile back.

3. Do not mess with a tank unless you have heavy explosives
