The audio system for battlefield 3 is an external software called sonar, you have to join a channel with your mates for voice, and people who are not in that channel you wont hear, Kinda [censored] but removes the whiny children.

All ya gotta do is click da link, Colonel!

Only really played conquest mode and i have noticed that since i have been playing it with Microphone attached i have not heard one single voice,not even a squeak.

Surely that is a GOOD thing! Do you really want to hear the inane babblings of 14 year old Americans ?

Neither of which are suitable for work as they depict people playing violent games...

Im also confused with this battlelog that keeps flashing in the xbox menu,i am a member of EA origin and when i sign in it keeps telling me wrong email or password even though i just changed it.

It says in the menu screens sign up for battlelog but it aint having it.........so don't know if this is just a PC stats screen or what ?

I had exactly the same nonsense with the PS3 version.

Gave up.

How does that work on consoles then,i can see my microphone working on the menu screens and nothing else,kind of strange for a game as tactical as Battlefield 3.

I really don't understand when you join any COD server you get the usual rubbish and children which i don't want but nobody communicating in a game like this.

This is a game for big boys

I think the other posters have confused you by talking of PC version.

On 360 the mic is all handled by BF3, its rare to hear anyone. Have had games where a couple of clan members communicate, and through out hints/warnings. Usually have my headset unplugged.

Always play in squad, and try to stay as a squad when it works, e.g. medic close by and mobile respawn.

New maps are pretty hectic

Unfortunately unlike BF2 and BF2142 , BF3 does not have proper public VOIP / comms. In the previous games as soon as you joined a squad you could hear and also speak to everyone in the squad instantly. This meant there was good teamplay with people in a squad you may never have met or played with before.

Unfortunately the VOIP / Comms which is called party in BF3 does not do this. You can only talk to people who have accepted you invitation to be a friend in the game. This is pretty crazy as it ruins the team play inwhat would otherwise is a very good game.

Looks like i will be playing it for a lot longer than expected and i am now tempted to go back and try MW3 just to see what comparisons i now make.

Far Cry 3 my next proper purchase has now slipped from August/Sep Release date to November........How stupid of Ubisoft to release a game at exactly the same time Black ops 2 ships..........Seriously they would have done better delaying it until 2013 around January when nothing comes out.

Looking at the release schedule for the next 3/4 months its utter pants so i will have to get back into others i bought during the past 12 months to get my fix.
