it appears so, i find this extremely silly as that rules out any showing off the stats to friends who don't have the game (yet) and so on.

They changed all the controls for every vehicle. I get in a chopper. Another dude jumps in. You know what happens? About four seconds after lifting off the carrier I put in the drink. Twice!
Omg that's what noobs do! I am not a noob but this makes me feel like one.
BC2 vehicles are a second skin for me. It is so ingrained that I don't even actually know what the controls are. It's just muscle memory. I realized this playing BF3 when I went into options trying to find the setup I use in BC2... I was having trouble even remembering what config I use. It was pretty funny (well now that I'm thinking about it after a few hours of sleep, but last night I was frustrated) I'm in the menus trying to get some config that lets me pilot a tank without popping smoke in my own goddamned face when I try to fire on a guy or going reverse every time I try to go forward. I mean it's almost comical how wrong I was every time I touched a vehicle. Every time. I weep for my passengers (if you guys are reading this I'm SO sorry. Blame DICE!)
I'm just left asking myself: why? Why change every damn thing about the game? I think I use "BC1 controls" for buttons in BC2 iirc and as far as I can tell this option is not available.
While they're at it they should have just force inverted my reg camera as well... I probably wouldn't do much worse!
lol.

I think you can set it to Alternate and inverted for BC1 controls....dont quote me on that.

damn, i used BC1 controls too. It was much more efficient to be able to use throttle on the L2 and L1 and weapons on R2 and R1 :/

Alternate is some other weird setting. I've tried most of their presets without much luck.
darkwing said:
They have a number of presets, it's just that I hate all of them. They didn't include one of the most popular configs from BC2.
And you can't customize... so you're stuck with what's there.

FACELESS or SEKS:
help me solve this riddle... lets say I want to fly a chopper in BF3 and want to use a config that mirrors my BC2 config (default everything, inverted vertical flight). What would I have to use on BF3 to achieve this?
Everything I try ends with me crashing ten seconds after taking off.
In BC2 "inverted" means "inverted", but in BF3 "inverted" is apparently "non-inverted" since it's inverted by default, and selecting "inverted" gets you "non inverted".
If you had trouble following that sentence, well welcome to the BF3 options menu! But for full effect try to figure this out in the middle of a hectic game! And crash ten vehicles in the process while your team loses flags and the brand new K/D tracker rubs it in!
lol... and of course for extra awesomeness the inverted stuff is opposite for planes. Makes total sense.

i have my PS3 copy, will check the PS3 Platoon status as soon as i'm home

Considering I don't have the game and probably won't have it until later today because I'm waiting for UPS shipping, I suggest you hold your bitching until I have the game in my hands and can honestly tell you some shit. :|

darkwing said:
Yeah, completely different. My one time in a jet, I'd say it felt kind of like the planes in 1943 but I can't be sure because my y axis was opposite of what I thought it'd be and I crashed in 5 seconds.
Choppers are some weird thing that I can't wrap my head around and there's no way to practice or mess around with options outside of a live game. So I feel really terrible wasting a vehicle. And I do waste it. Every time.
Between this and the aiming control I can't get used to

PS3 version should be locked and loaded tonight. EST. I have 2 squad mates and may be looking for one or two more.
My skill rating typically hovered in the 190's on BFBC2.

Just noticed this thread.
Was looking in the gaming section since the old BFBC2 thread was all PS3 users nearly lol.
Well I'm looking for people to play with on PS3, played with some of you during BFBC2 but not as much as I would have liked cause my RL friends would always drag me into there squads in other games.
But I really need skilled players. I'm not gonna toot my own horn but I'm not bad at the game and I really did to find good players like myself. I love my firends like brothers but after BFBC2 and last nights launch playing with them I'm tired of seeing myself in the top 3 scores and my buddies all filling out the last place spots.
Last straw was last night while I was dring the APC...
I pull up to a MCOM with my buddie in the gunners seat... MCOM is inside the building...so what does he do??
He jumps the fuck out...
I'm like "what are you doing!!" "He says, attacking the MCOM"
I think to myself..."whats an APC with no gunner??...A BIG METAL DEATH TRAP!
I have the option to sit and wait to die with no ability to attack back..the ability to drive off and not beable to attack back...or to jump in the gunners seat and become a stationary gun just waiting to be C4'd or AT smacked.
Well he dies inside the building and I get hit from 10 angles with rockets...I went to bed after that lol.

Evolved is correct in saying the heli's control like shit. I've been messing around with the control settings for helicopters and nothing feels right.

And we actually talk about the game. Well... Seks would probably say that I bitch. But you know what I mean.
edit: Make sure you guys post when you get the game. I need to play with some friends to help me through this difficult time. haha

Well, unless you give me pictures of the controls or text descriptions I can't help you just yet. Besides: I haven't even seen or played the game outside of those map gameplay leaks the past two days. I'm going in blind. Hold your horses, I can't ESP for you all of a sudden. >:|
Erm... you should've moved it and put it near a choke point and made it stationary, ya? Not being able to attack isn't an issue, so long as you are engineer. If you're not and you're going solo, you better be prepared to die in it and be giving the enemy hell until they take you out.

Yeah, everytime a game comes out for console and PC and it has just a big of a following, if not more players on PC, the thread is basically 2 post discussing the game followed by 150 post from PC users trying to get it to run, optimizing settings, etc...
I actually posted in the thread about where the console players are and meet ups moments before finding/posting here.
Being un-PC savvy that thread just makes my head hurt, once a game becomes more then "insert disc and play" I cant F with it.

Are you playing on PS3 again? If so add my, so I can jump in with you guys from time to time. I usually play Tues. Friday and Sat night, but I'll be splitting time between R3, WKC2 and BF3... Too many games, not enough time!
Cornbread78 said:
Hey cornbread, todahawk (PSNid) here, we've played BC2 and CoD together. Just got my PS3 copy delivered @ work and I'm trying hard not to bail and leave early to play.
Definitely taking Friday off.
Shit, BC2 PS3GAF nostalgia </tear drop>:

LOL, if I see you guys on, I may jump into a game with you all. I'll probably have the same problem as I did in BFBC2, where your squad's are always full, or I get put onto the other team and spend the whole game trying to hide or tank whore, lol.
RoboPlato said:
Yes, chat in here, and you can sign up on the unofficial roster in the OP. My PSN is the same as name here, so you can add me, but I'm not on as much as the others and I'm part of a large gaming clan as well, so I'm sure they will be harassing me constantly as well, lol. 'Dem my boys though, just like Blue. Speakign of Blue, I wonder if he is getting BF3.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Sure what the hell. I ordered on PS3 as a double dip, I couldn't turn down the Amazon deal.
I can't guarantee that I'm going to be playing PS3 version often but when I do it would be good to team up with GAF instead of randoms who think every game is TDM.

Awesome, I didn't realize the OP had been updated. Filled out the form. My ID is also the same as my username here. I have the game but I'm just waiting for UPS to come with the new PS3 stereo headphones before I start. It's torture but a Breaking Bad marathon is making the wait easier.Cornbread78 said:

Good to hear. I figured as much, but hadn't heard any actual Xbox impressions.

Shit, didn't catch that either. Form filled out.
MY GOD I REALLY NEED TO STAY @ WORK AND GET SOME SHIT DONE BUT THE DAMN GAME IS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO ME CALLING MY NAME AND TELLING ME TO BAIL AND GO HOME AND FIRE THAT BITCH UP.
sorry, bad day yesterday and I'm overcompensating with all caps
I really just want Seks to yell at me
