How Do I get Those Cool Custom Dog Tags for Battlefield 3?
Jan 8th
You might be wondering how to get those cool custom dog tags you see everyone using each time you get killed in game.First of all, make sure when you are looking at your dog tags you SCROLL DOWN the list even though most or all of the dog tags you see are blacked out.
Check out the link below for more details … but you can watch the Act of Valor movie trailer (about 3 mins, 17 sec long) and afterward you are prompted for Xbox, PS3 or PC. Click your choice. For the Xbox I can tell you after you’ve seen the screen telling you that you’ve redeemed the dog tags sucessfully, the next time you log in to BF3 you will see a notification of new dog tags.
Here’s the post with links for free BF3 dog tags (ignore the Dr Pepper expiration date, just go to their website).
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT NOTE: ADVANCED DOG TAGS (RIGHT SIDE)
If you want to use the Advanced Dog tags, from game unlocks, you must have 50 kills with the knife (assassinations) first. The dog tags above, and possibly others that are given away, are not subject to the 50 knife kills rule.
I Keep Dying in Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Games
Jan 8th
You might be wondering “Why do I keep dying in BF3, do I suck?”
Well, if you’ve just started, you are a) still getting used to the controls and the game, b) getting used to the weapons and c) you don’t know the maps well. Additionally, d) you’ve got weaker weapons.
BF3 is a progression-based FPS game, so you need to level up to earn increases for your firepower and lethality. This is more realistic and increases game replay value since you play for hours and hours and don’t unlock everything during your first couple of hours of play. Gameinformer.com reported:
Compared to these progression systems, Bad Company 2 fell short. When we visited DICE’s Stockholm, Sweden offices during our Battlefield 3 cover story, executive producer Patrick Bach told us the studio was surprised by how quickly players rose through the ranks in the game. After reaching level 22, there was scarcely anything left to unlock.
AND
Though the designers didn’t mention the total number of ranks, they said their approach is “similar to Battlefield: Bad Company 2,” which capped at level 50. DICE didn’t explicitly rule out a prestige style system, but in saying “even if you hit the max rank, there is always more glory to strive for with the new concept of Service Stars,” it sounds like the team has other plans for keeping players engaged.
As you can see, progression was decided on before BF3 even began development. Many games lately give you progressive power while playing, like Crysis 2, so its not a new concept.
Battlefield 3/BF3 What Button?
Jan 8th
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
Battlefield 3 First Impressions: 5 Stars

What is Battlefield 3? What is BF3?
Well, Wikipedia goes in more detail about Battlefield 3, but BF3 is EA/Dice’s latest in the Bad Company video game series, starring you, Staff Sergeant (SSG) Henry “Black” Blackburn picking up where Battlefield 2′s storyline left off. If you use Google as any indicator, then Battlefield 3 was THE most popular video game of 2011 (FPS or otherwise), and was also the only video game in Google’s top 10 most googled things of 2011. Although billed and thought of as an FPS, there is 3rd person action in vehicles.
Battlefield 3, My Impressions
Battlefield 3 hits the ground running, literally. Staff Sergeant Henry Blackburn makes his way through the narrow corridor of a passenger train in New York in gunfight after gunfight in the opening action of the game.
Battlefield 3′s story is told through the interrogation of marine SSG Blackburn by typical good cop/bad cop CIA agents in New York asking questions about terrorists. As the interrogation progresses Blackburn recounts information to the interrogators and you get to play through the screnarios.
The graphics are fantastic, the recreation of environments and sound are all very detailed. If you like first person shooters (FPS), and especially military based FPS video games you probably will not be disappointed.
Battlefield 3 developed by DICE and published by EA is available for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and will cost about $60 + tax. If you want to play multiplayer, you might want to buy new since trying to play multiplayer online with a used game requires purchase of an additional online pass (about $10 for Xbox LIVE) and the savings of used + the online pass may not justify missing out on a brand new game disk.
DOWNLOAD: BF3 MANUALS
Since the manual did not come with Battlefield 3 (on Xbox at least) I’ve downloaded them and you can get them here if you can’t find your Battlefield 3 Manual.
