Last night i saw something funny. I was playing conquest on Damvand Peak and a guy on my team was using the mortar in the tunnel between B and C. The whole team made fun of him in the chat but he didnt realise. He was sitting there the whole match and probably asked himself why he didnt get a single kill.

Hey there,

I'm thinking of making a switch from CS:S to BF3 for a while. However, what I want to know is that how is the BF3 community? Half of my CS:S enjoyment comes from reading the chat and chatting with other people all throughout the game, just chilling and throwing jokes around et cetera (I play on the UKCS servers that have about 120 people playing on 3 servers during the peak time). I want to know if there are any servers like this in BF3, or are all the games just randomly matched? What I've seen so far of the 'Let's Play's is that the chat is virtually nonexistent.

I want to add to that list (because all of those thing happened to me last night). Strangers in team games:

- Drive transport vehicles into mines, even when specifically warned about those mines in advance
- Never pass out ammo/medkits or revive people near them, even when specifically requested of them
- Put spawn beacons in the dumbest, most uselss place imaginable
- Cannot fly helicopters, yet insist on piloting and subsequently crashing, especially if you are also in the helicopter
- Never deploy countermeasures in a helicopter
- Never spawn on a flag that is being capped by enemies to defend it
- Never spawn on you while you are capping a flag to help take it
- Never turn off their tac lights while in a group of friendlies, and insist on pointing it in your faces
- Are completely oblivious to their surroundings, where you get knifed while standing right next to them with a motion sensor going off like crazy, then they still get knifed also because they have no clue as to what's going on around them
- Think that machine gun bullets can kill a tank
- When driving vehicles under fire from other vehicles, they just stop moving and sit there
- Hop into your attempted jihad jeep as the gunner
- Launch explosives willy-nilly while you are trying to aim your shots, causing major ground shaking
- Blow up a piece of building above you, so it crashes down onto you and kills you (Sienne Crossing is bad for this)
- Flies his jet/heli into your jet/heli
- Sits in the anti-air gun at spawn not killing anything (or worse, blowing up friendly vehicles because they're bored)
- Robs you of your Ace Squad ribbon because one guy on the squad goes 2-14 the whole round while you and the rest of your squad all have a K/D ratio of 3.0+
- Revive you before killing the guy who killed you, thus getting you both killed
- Plants friendly mines in high friendly vehicle traffic areas, causing them all to go off from one stray grenade or rocket, killing only the friendlies in the area
- Crouch in hallways and stay there, blocking all traffic

Another question; is there some hidden difference between these 3 scopes like scope in time or magnification?

Reflex (RDS)
PKA-S (HOLO)
Holographic (HOLO)

the only differences I see are the outter red ring from rds to the holo(s) and beteen the two holos the scope frame (one is round one is squared).

Iron sights have fastest draw time right?

I don't think DICE straight out said it, ever, but I believe so.

On-topic of Iron Sights, certain guns appear to have less 'bounce' with Iron Sights. Specifically the AEK-971 is easier to aim without a sight.
