Apart from a serious issue with nipple envy this Swedish Viking is funny as hell. Watch as he Pew Pew Pew’s his way to domination.

Only In Battlefield 3 Competition Final Choices

Battle Co — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:07:56 +0000

The top 10 videos have now been selected for the EA/DICE “Only in Battlefield 3″ competition and I can honestly say I am a little disappointed as they haven’t picked any of the great videos done by birgirpall (the master of the C4). A couple of those picked are great but clearly staged team mate co operation which was originally thought to be outside of the competition rules. They have made their decision so I have picked my top 4 from their list and hope one of them wins:

Raptr Battlefield 3 Case Mod

Battle Co — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:26:01 +0000

Wow, what a case. Brian Carter the famed case modder has created the ultimate BF3 gaming case. In fact it’s just a great all round case. Fancy a little beverage during a scrim, well Brian has you covered with his handy drinks cooler built in. Fancy a quick spin up of the minigun, well hit up those great toggle switches.

For a bit of the step by step build see here:

Who created the Battlefield 3 music?

Looks like the guy who created the Battlefield 3 music took his inspiration from an unexpected source

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick Settings with Battlefield 3

Battle Co — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:34:12 +0000

I suck at flying with the keyboard and mouse, it is as simple as that, I cant keep the aircraft in the sky for more than 30 seconds. So to try and fix the situation I recently invested in a new joystick. Namely the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. This isn’t a review (though that may come in time) it’s a quick few steps you need to do when using a joystick with BF3 as by default the game goes a bit mental when you try and use the joystick until you get the settings ironed out.

Install drivers and plug in joystick
Open game in campaign mode or use a settings editor (not used one yet but this one is getting a lot of good reviews http://bf3.realmware.co.uk/settings-editor/)
Clear all joystick settings from Infrantry/Vehicle
Get a piece of paper handy and draw out the buttons on your joystick (there is practically no way you are going to remember all the controls the first time you set them) with enough space to be able to label them to the commands
Clear all joystick settings in the Jets/Helicopters, this stops you having duplicate actions for each key press
Bind your controls one by one and mark them down on your sheet of paper. This also helps you make sure you set the same controls for both Jets and Helicopters
Save settings

Enjoy.

Battlefield 3 Nations Cup

Battle Co — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:37:47 +0000

It is a big week on the competitive BF3 circuit with the first round of the Nations Cup over at ClanBase. The community is still calling out for more inbuilt tools (e.g VOIP. Battle Recorder) to help really push BF3 on to the competitive scene but hopefully with enough community interest DICE will step up and deliver the goods. Best of luck to all those involved.

More details over at ClanBase http://clanbase.ggl.com/news_league.php?lid=12516

Video: Little Bird Flying Like James Bond

Battle Co — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:56:51 +0000

Do you guys remember the opening scene from For Your Eyes Only? Well if you haven’t Blofeld is trying to kill James Bond once again, this time by remotely controlling a chopper while he is in it. During this sequence he flies the chopper inside a building and at the time I watched it, it was amazing. Well in this Battlefield 3 some badass is showing off some of the same chopper control in the Little Bird (which BTW is not on nearly enough maps for my liking). Anyway, enjoy.
