I held out for the longest time but have finally bitten the bullet. I was thinking of adding some of the names listed in the sticky above but I wanted to check to see if there were any guidelines. In other multi games SimHQ has a sticky for 'this is how we do things' does anything like this exist for BF3/SimHQ?

No, not really... since we don't have our own PC server anymore... can't enforce rules... basic rules apply to all SimHQ members when they play together. Play the objectives, play with basic tactics, play as a team... Tactics and Teamwork.

Is anyone using comms? For me so far there is to much stuff on the screen and I find it difficult to figure out what the heck is going on. Pretty much I've learned to stay out of the open and flashing objectives are changing (i know noob right). The squad icons are green but every squad ive been on so far just goes there own way. Conquest is my favorite map type...that i know.

SimHQ has a Teamspeak server or you can create
a party in Battlelog.

Tactics vs n00bs = mad n00bs.

its so much fun when a 3 or 4 man squad from SimHQ can get on a server, play tactics and walk out with 15-30,000 points a round.

If you're going to play BF3, Kelen, you cannot go wrong with these guys. Invite them as friends and when they're in a game, get in the game with them and switch squads until you're playing with them.

Is it possible to switch teams?

I was on a game the other night with a few SHQ members but I was on the other team and could never seem to find a way to do more than be killed by them biggrin and I admit with so much going on I have no time to look at the chat text so if anyone said anything to me and got no response, that was why, I checked TS and didn't see anyone on either.

BTW I played BF3 for about 14h that first week or two after initial release and parked it, but it sure is fun to get back to it now, having a lot of fun even being a noob amongst all the high ranking players.

i think you played vs me and my brother for a round, and I had to go after that round, he stayed on, i saw your message in the chatbox near the end, and replied, but i usually never look at the box, because its almost always not anything to do with the game.


from the deplay screen, press ESC, goto Squad and Team, click switch team, press ok.

some servers dont allow team switching, some servers may even boot/ban for it (depending on score.)

i need to setup team speak on my brother's system and my new one, we usually just use the party function on battle log.

I'm afraid I may not be as tactically skilled as ya'll. I hope someone can show me the ropes.
