Battlefield 3/BF3 What Button?
BF3 WHAT BUTTON TO SPOT/COMMUNICATE?
While aiming at an enemy (LT) you press (not hold) the Scoreboard (BACK) button. The Squad Leader can use Spot/Communicate to set objectives.
BATTLEFIELD 3 WHAT BUTTON TO OPEN A PARACHUTE?
Press A while falling high enough for a parachute to open. If you do this from the second story of a building you won’t get a parachute, but you WILL be prompted with A Parachute when you land. Weird.
BF3 BUTTONS FOR HELOs AND JETS
IGN’s Flight Control page has a great page with screenshots for Xbox, PS and PC along with descriptions of yaw, pitch and other great info. This is one of the best I’ve seen, and saves you the trouble of going into your settings. Click the images for a larger view of the setup.
I STILL CAN’T FIND A BUTTON I NEED
If you still don’t find the button you need:
- GET HELP: leave a comment. At my discretion, if this post isn’t too old I’ll research and answer, then add your button to this page
- SELF HELP: from BF3′s main menu go to Options > Controls (the first tab after clicking Options). Scroll down to the related control “platform“. If you need to know something about helicopter buttons scroll down and check Heli Buttons and Heli Sticks. If your question is about soldier controls then check Soldier Buttons and Soldier Sticks. Simply look to the right at the Xbox 360 controller for your answer. You can view AND change control options from here.
Also, you can go into Options > Controler

After my first night online in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 I would have said Battlefield 3 was the winner hands down. However, after playing more I am not so sure I can so quickly judge. I will look more in-depth at comparing their campaign modes with one another, an their multiplayer modes as

Assignment (Assault Class): Professional Russian – 20 kills with Underslung Grenade Launcher How do I use, find equip or arm the underslung grenade launcher? First off, there is no weapon called the underslung grenade launcher. You need to unlock the M320 grenade launcher, so you may have already used it and didn’t realize it. After

You would think the M16A4 would be more advanced than the M16A3 due to it being the newer version, and in real life this is likely the case. In Battlefield 3, the 2 weapons are almost identical except for their fire modes (see below). Although the Wikia page for the M16 mentions that the M16A3

I was playing Conquest on Tehran Highway tonight and got sandwiched by a squad on 2 or 3 up laying prone against the wall at the edge of the map and 1 guy on overwatch on the overpass. I drove in there in a BMP feeling all safe from being sniped or ambushed trying to
