Mumble is still available, I was there last night but I played all by myself Had a ton of fun though, this game is still great to play.
There's also the PURE Reddit server, that has it's own TS3 that puts you in squad-specific channels automatically. It's cool, except when you're not on the same team or squad as other PA dudes.
The best was when we had the 360 Dome on Close Quarters. If there was someone on the other team being a jerk and we were on split across the teams, we would all get on them. We... We weren't very mature back then.
PUT MY BALLS IN YOUR MOUTH. It would get so bad that I wouldn't even pay attention to anything other then finding that one guy. Or having our whole squad run up and teabag as soon as one of us got them. Totally Mature.
I haven't played this in forever and you've actually been on XBL lately...We must remedy this.
That seemed to be a problem with BC2 in general. If one team had a good chopper pilot and the other didn't, you might as well quit right away.
@desc, is this your first Battlefield game? If it is, try to stick with your squad, mark any enemies you see, stay in cover, and focus on supporting the better players (revive, throw down healing/ammo, provide covering fire), letting them take point. Since BF maps are more open with fewer defined paths, moving from cover to cover is a lot more important as compared to COD or Quake.
@fearsomepirate I played battlefield 1942 a decade ago and other than Mass Effect, that was the end of my Quake-Jedi Knight era first personing career. I haven't played any of the subsequent BFs.
So far that's what I've been doing mostly -- I got the defibrillator so I try to sprint from place to place with a group and res people when they go down (also it's 100 points!). I noticed right away you get credit for suppression fire kill assists which is cool.
I got frustrated last night because we played on a "real war" server with no group cohesion and I got killed a dozen times per kill. Also I'm just not that good.
Some YouTube video kept stressing Spotting so I mash the Q button whenever I see something. Poppin little orange icons on dudes erryday.

Sounds like my experience. Enjoyable, frustrating, and fun on many levels.
Quick tip, mash Q even if you don't see something, you'll start seeing things you didn't before.

Oh yeah! I actually started doing that a a bit last night because I ran to a wall and sort of peeked out
And then I was like WAS THAT A GLINT FROM A SCOPE FOR A SPLIT SECOND OR WAS IT NOTHING
And then I hit "q" and my guy was all "enemy sniper spotted" and the little orange thin popped up
And I avatarfaced

I have adopted a strategy in every game I play now called "Quitting if my team is fucking terrible." If I join a BF game and all the CPs are red, I stay just long enough to figure out if it's just a transient state or if my team is brain-damaged. If it's the latter, I quit. If just being careful and sticking with your squad mates isn't enough to keep you from getting a 0.1 KDR for the match, then your team is probably horrible. I don't stick around to have a miserable time.
For example, last night I joined on a game with 4 out 4 CPs controlled by the enemy. There was a tank parked by the entrance of our base just annihilating everyone. Now I'm actually a relatively good FPSer on the console, so I hopped in a tank, lined up a shot, hit the enemy once, then skedaddled on a long flanking route where I could maintain zero visibility between me and him, popped out from behind a building, and kicked his ass before he realized where I was. Our base was near D, so of course the enemy were spawning there...so I beat it to B, capped it, waited to ambush the tank that inevitably came from their base, and then capped C. I did all this with no one helping me except a gunner in my tank.
Okay, so with two CPs capped, my team should start spawning outside of the base to start giving the enemy hell, right? Wrong. They kept spawning in the base, and despite my most valiant efforts, a lone tanker trying to defend two CPs is no match for a squad of engineers. And even with four or five fewer guys attacking our base (big deal when teams are limited to 12), no one on my team managed to get out.
And that's when I decided it was time to quit.
Nobody makes me bleed my own blood...nobody.

But with how BF3 points are setup, it really seems it could work if you reward players for following these orders. Assignments that could be "Follow 5,000 commander orders"

The host could also have an option like with how he can auto-kick players who are idle after a number of seconds, except to kick players who do fuck all to follow the orders after a number of seconds. Like if you get orders to defend/assault a flag, you have 120 seconds to either shoot, tag, or suppress someone or something that's near the flag, get your ass over near the flag, lock onto/tag/shoot at something that's shooting at friendlies near the flag, or shoot something that's been tagged by someone near the flag.

Hells yeah, dude! The other day I was single handedly stomping people on scavenger, got my 10 kills without dying for the Rambo tag, and I have knifed so many people. So, so many people. Unfortunately, I only just got to level 95 Col. Five more levels until I become the shitbucket.

I have a feeling that server would never fill up.
Well, the six of us who don't want to snipe from the base or practice doing tricks in the jets would be able to find each other.

We're getting close to 100 pages, who will create the new thread?
I saw the End game trailer on my tiny phone screen so I couldn't pick out much detail. The dirtbikes and AA Humvees tells me they're going to be large maps.
