What are /r/ps3bf3's favorite Products & Services?

There are several, most are region based. See this doc for info on which to join. If you are a VOIP user you are welcome at our new one. Good luck.

The best way to get new people to play with is to join your region's platoon and friend its members, especially the RGLs. You'll find links to these on the sidebar.

In addition, go ahead and read this for more info on getting involved with rdt clan.

Try this out a la the side bar.

Here is a list of tips submitted by fellow Redditors. It can be found --> on the sidebar

Also on the sidebar is a platoon listing that you can join fellow Redditors in your geographical location

Feel free to add me regardless of location T-Rizz45. Welcome aboard!

Awesome, I made into the video! Good job on the editing.

This was my first time playing with a group from reddit, between the Bacon Battle and Wrecked Reddit I had a lot of fun.

For anyone who hasn't taken part in these community events the calendar is posted with the resources on the left, and has several more events planned. I would also recommend using Teamspeak3, it's a great way to find fellow redditors looking for a game, and it gives you a reliable way to communicate. You can read the post by Shane_solo on where to get Teamspeak3 and how to find the reddit server.

you can also view who is already on the list here.

Just a FYI, both the form and doc are accessible on the side bar ------>

Just so you know, this is a great tool for finding/adding people in your region. If you havent already you should add yourself to the list with this form.

If it's just general game-play and controlls you are having trouble with I would just keep playing. I played Bad Company 2 a ton (and was pretty good in my opinion haha) and the Beta for BF3 but when I first got this game I sucked so much. It took me about 3 minutes before I got my first kill. I'm not sure what it is but begining this game just seems to be really hard and takes some getting used to. So my suggestion is just keep playing and get lots of practice. Even the best players I know get killed in situations where they had the upper hand.

You can always check out the tips in the sidebar too

Please look at the sidebar on the right:

You can use Teamspeak 3 voice chat to connect with redditors playing at the moment. Our teamspeak server, kindly hosted by WhyUNoCompile and managed by shane_solo is at ps3bf3ts.dyndns.org. Consult the guide for more info

Guide is at https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1sxEWQG5iAoSo4fdT2npUaXMyBzxq9y5eBKGdMTZ6kdE

Server is: ps3bf3ts.dyndns.org Password: redditisfun

HTH

Try this link here half way down should have the details, let me know if you need any help, also you can add your PSN name and region in your flair to help connect to other players

Welcome! If you haven't already, have a look at this document https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1sxEWQG5iAoSo4fdT2npUaXMyBzxq9y5eBKGdMTZ6kdE and see about maybe joining a platoon or getting set up on teamspeak. It's a great way to hook up with folks to play with :D

You need to add the group leader from your region. They ensure you get into the games you want to be in.

find the leader in your region at this link

Usually, group leader's PSN names are full. If they are, send them a PM and more often than not they can create some space for you.

Any questions, PM me.

Another benefit is that you can tell who is online and sometimes it will identify specifically who in your region is online. To do this go HERE

Of course, you can search in the server browser for ps3bf3 and the servers should show up. There is also a list of them here.

We have platoons in battlelog, check out the sidebar >>>>

Or here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Atws_ujVnGoXdGRvbW5LT0o1MzE2Vkx6VVg0Ql8wWFE#gid=1

In battlelog, add [rdt] to your clan tag, and hop on Teamspeak. When other redditors see you in their games they will normally want to squad up.

Check this out: Players List & Platoons List

yes...more jetty jet nummy nom noms.........come to me......

EDIT: ahem...yes why

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Ap7RntrmbXZJdEgteUVGYV93U3ZmdU4wQzZNTWRkelE&f=0&rm=full#gid=0

go there....read my jet thingy....people..tend..to let me fly...

Yeah, they are always on sale in one spot or another too. Last I saw them on Newegg for ~$70ish. Sony is releasing a new headset in the fall, so look for the price on these to drop.

and HERE is the link to join the list

The link for the player list that GodAmoungMen gives is filterable. If you only want to see players in your area then choose your region in the pull down menu at the top of the list. IF you want to alphabetize by PSN name then click that header.

The form will remain active at this link until the full version is released so you can still submit suggestions.

I would add you, but my list is full after I flushed and added some people in my region. I would suggest just friending region leaders and jumping in their games. Also hop on the teamspeak channel (if you can) and just tell them I sent you. People know me around here... most because I have pissed them off on occasion :). You will be surprised how a little teamwork goes a long way.

If you go to the middle of this web page, there is an app that will show who is on using teamspeak and what rooms (games) they are using. You'll probably have to reload the page to get it to work.

I've had this one for a while and am happy enough with it. If you have larger hands it is actually pretty good.

There have been a few people with this problem. Here is a link to the information I was able to find. Clan Info

there is a list of all the different regional platoons that r/ps3bf3 has to offer. it's also in the sidebar along with all of the other info you'll need to get started with the rdt crew. there is usually always someone online.

i have a turtle beach headset that just plugs into the ps3. it has separate controls for game volume and voice volume. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Turtle+Beach+-+Ear+Force+PLa+Amplified+Stereo+Gaming+Headset+for+PlayStation+3/6365987.p?id=1218732821911&skuId=6365987

Hi bf3stats link:

http://bf3stats.com/server/ps3_2709a6da-8fc2-424d-b4fa-d430f4bf58a6

No B2K at the moment, but I can add if requested.

btw, all our servers are linked here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvyaWfCOnEqedE9wZ010V25HbmRDZ09GWkJrSlhEZnc#gid=0

Hi there and thanks for stepping up. I'm not totally clear by your comment if you are volunteering to sign up as a coordinator, but if you are, could you please fill out this form https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dGRvbW5LT0o1MzE2Vkx6VVg0Ql8wWFE6MQ#gid=1 to get yourself added to the list? I couldn't find your name there. Then I can indicate you are a coordinator and folks will know to send you friend requests to get tapped into our matches :D Thanks!

Well, the VOIP crew is always looking for new places to play. We're pretty open to anything, but here's an idea of what's already out there:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvyaWfCOnEqedE9wZ010V25HbmRDZ09GWkJrSlhEZnc#gid=0

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Where will we ever find another expired server(according to the server list)!!

Hmmm... that's rough no matter how you slice it. I know there are European players around to play with, but I couldn't tell you which ones they were. Have you checked out the list of redditors to see if anyone outside the platoon would be able to meet up? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Atws_ujVnGoXdGRvbW5LT0o1MzE2Vkx6VVg0Ql8wWFE

I'll see if we can get a shoutout for you later tonight.

"Teamspeak is a voice chat system in use by many /r/ps3bf3/ players" Scroll down to the "Teamspeak Voice Chat" section

Hey noob. Check out everything on the right side of the subreddit THE GENERAL GUIDE

Teamspeak is the fastest way to play with others. Most people on there are pretty vocal (often it is just nonsense, but in smaller groups there tends to be more tactical talk). As long as you have a computer near where you play and a mic, you should be good to go. Even if you don't have a mic, you can still type in the teamspeak channels. It is the best way to find players who are playing the moment you want to play.

Funny, I see it exactly the same way, just reversed. :)

I would like to not have to exempt myself and divide this subcommunity any more than it already is by creating a separate platoon. I think the best place to start is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Atws_ujVnGoXdGRvbW5LT0o1MzE2Vkx6VVg0Ql8wWFE#gid=1

All the registered redditors that don't have TS are already listed, I'd just like a place for us to meet up and organize without having to use TS. I'd like to include TS users, too, if possible...

For instance, how difficult it would be to develop an application or tool (smartphone, PC-based, or maybe in IRC?) that would allow all PS3 redditors into a single app using a login? Once in, you can then select settings such as PS3 mic/TS availability, list the schedule of when you plan to be online and playing BF3, show your PSN name, link to your stats, group up and launch TeamSpeak, have simple text chat, etc.

I think the smartphone app and windows app would be the most difficult to develop, but could one write a script for the IRC chan that does some of this? I remember many years ago looking into developing scripts for IRC but that was back when we had to use phones to get on the internet. (The kind that use wires, mind you.)

No. Reddit matches are just a bunch of people from the same group playing together.

>Sport - Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively

>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport

>Sport is all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical fitness and provide entertainment to participants

If there is one theme that ties together all definitions of a sport, its physical activity. Sitting down with a controller in your hand is not a sport.

Tonight at 2100 hours is a Euro round in rdt.

You wanna play at 2100 hours, German time?

In the sidebar there's a link to a list of our Platoons. Join one for your Region. PSN friend the Leaders of the Platoon and then some of the regular players from your Region. Use our Teamspeak server. Info here

I come to this forum over others in part because we are a tolerant community. Please don't use homophobic slurs it's very easy to make your point without them: https://sites.google.com/site/ps3bf3reddit/r-ps3bf3-rules

the password problem is strange indeed. The virtual memory being too low more than likely refers to your ram usage. You probably have some processes running in the background that are eating up resources. First things first hit ctrl + shift + esc, go to processes, check and see if anything suspicious is running. Also check under performance to see what your total physical memory and your free + cached memory is. If nothing seems to out of the ordinary here, head over to trend micro house call and run their free web based virus scanner. It can be slow but do the most thorough scan option. I would highly recommend doing a google search and getting something like Spy Bot to search for spyware programs as well. Let me know what kind of results you get here. Why did you uninstall norton? If it was a trial period ending or if you don't want to renew it try using avg free version.

Hit me up.

You can get Dxtory for free from here, which you can use to record.

If you want to use the same origin account for BF3 you just log in with it when you are booting up the game, and it will automatically sync.

Lastly join our PS3BF3 PC platoon. It is on my page. Shat about to get real.

Oh, also be prepared to suck at first, unless you have considerable experience with the M&K. Everything you have learned from PS3 will be extremely useful though (map knowledge, situation awareness, etc...)

We already are trying to find other clans to Battle with informally and could use help with the research. We did this a little for BC2 and had a great time. Anyone wanting to put some effort into making that happen for us can volunteer using this form

Add 2 region leaders for your region on psn first, and join the platoon so others may add you. If you use teamspeak then you can see who is on there and add them so you can join in their matches and have awesome fun times. Or just add as many people from your platoon as you want so you can jump in anytime (protip is to add those who battlelog is saying are currently playing bf3 as they are more likely to be playing at the same time as you).

Sorry gorlok, it needs to go through our group to be rdt clan. We are working to solve these problems. If you want to help us make more platoons volunteer by using this form

What times do do play? You'll have to convert your times to match North American times, for e.g. a bunch of us usually play from around 7-11:30 EST so that's 11AM - 3PM AUS time (Sydney), if my calculations are correct. According to this site they are.

I use this guy http://www.amazon.com/PS3AC-EX-01-Wireless-Headset-Playstation-3/dp/B00111SFEU/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1320199200&sr=1-4

it's not bad, but you will hear random static once in a while for a sec, works up to 15 feet without getting too scratchy for me

I have the v2 of the PS3 bluetooth earpiece. It does the HQ audio and has a mute button with indicator that you see on your TV when you toggle mute on and off. The value therein is just unmeasurable. Fair warning, if you have tiny ears like me, it may be a weird fit... but if earbuds stay in your ears well enough, you can pop off the ear loop and it works just fine.

Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Bluetooth-Headset-Playstation-3/dp/B0042R81XU/

Get a PVR recorder, it'll record anything your playing/watching. They really arent that expensive. Last I researched the Hauppauge brand one was pretty solid (few friends have it and it had the best reviews) and came in around $150-200 (if i remember correctly). Another good use for these other than cutting gaming footage is to get a Netflix account and whatever you stream and like you can record and burn to DVD thereby creating your own private DVD collection of awesome shows/movies. PLUS you can record your BF3 battles.
