Infantry Tactics:

Movement and positioning.

In Battlefield 3 it is really importand how you move around. When standing behind a corner and you have to pop out do it really fast. Because if an enemy is holding that corner and you come around that corner and just ''stand'' there you will die, what you allso could do is prefire around that corner to get him supressed or get some bullets on him.

The patch was expected to drop earlier this month, but according to DICE’s community manager Daniel Matros, the patch was never given an official release date. Matros also went on twitter to further solidify the rumor:

“It was announced by someone who got the dates wrong”

When more tweets rained in on the issue, Matros went on to say

 “The date was never really correct anyway”.

In This year's Clanbase Nations cup, We more than welcome the battlefield series back with open arms.
It's always nice to see the battlefield series in the nations cup and this year it's the world's first for Battlefield 3.

There's some serious competition this year, with the likes of Russia and Spain doing well in the 8v8 ladders.

Im just glad were not against them in the qualifers :D

Martin ‘nKM’ Bowman takes a deep breath and jumps into the depths of eSports' latest emerging scene to ask the questions that matter.

Oh no, you’re writing about competitive Battlefield again!?

It’s been almost 18 months since I last took this heady trip, jumping into a game whose title was suggestively prefixed by the word Battlefield and finding out that times have changed - that word doesn’t mean what it used to mean. Gone were the frenetic 8v8 Conquest battles where it was common to see two of Europe’s top teams, supported by outstanding eSports organizations, duke it out on a well-balanced map using well-balanced weapons and vehicles, those players struggling to keep cool heads knowing that they were playing for prize money and a growing number of fans were tuning into live coverage beamed into their skulls through the wonders of the internet.
