no it's just you

not me
in-fact im lucky if i press the right button on the D pad but that's another story

(if you don't get it)
im not having this problem so i don't understand why you are having it
maybe your mashing the D pad by accident (d pad are the arrow keys)

check your controller settings in the ps3 menu and in game
check its not JUST your ps3 that's doing it

then blame dust :P

No it's not just him.
I have this same problem also. Every now and then (too often, usually at least 1 time per match), I find looking at the map in middle of intense shootout and BAM. Dead.

This has been a new problem for me, starting last week.
At first I thought that maybe I press the buttons on the d-pad in my excitement.
Then I thought maybe my controller is failing.
Nope. It's the game.

Hey Random menu popping up, we had a good time together - the walks, the talks, the nights spent curled up on the couch in front of the TV. But listen, I'd like to say it's not you it's me, but this time, it's really you. I'd like you not to interrupt me and pop-up at random intervals in the middle of an intense firefight especially when the menu you show me is not related in ANY way to the button i'm pressing.... I know it can be funny sometimes to press L3 and suddenly be asked to call in a LAV, or to press the same button and throw off a grenade in the middle of nowhere just for the fun of it... but enough is enough!

So I thought, maybe you were related to one of my controllers, but loaning a controller from a friend, and using 3 different ones all resulted in you visiting again, it really is annoying, and I think I'm going to get a restraining order against you if you don't stop calling and visiting at odd hours.

It's not me, it's really you.

Actually OP its not the games fault. Its actually a design flaw in which the Left analog stick comes in contact with the ds3's button ribbon. take a look
DS3 button ribbon

dropping the ds3 can easily depostion this ribbon and pressing L3 will bend it, resulting to your symptoms, basically the left hand side functions going off....nades neocom vehicle request (look how close the button wirings are on that side)

further depositioning the ribbon will cause those copper stubs (which are held by a lousy rubber strip to connect to the mobo) to come in double contact with adjacent tiles making those occurrences more frequent if not fixed

so basically it is really you, and your friends lol

no it's just you

Thanks for all the feedback on this issue guys. I just want to make this perfectly clear though:


You are using standard Dualshock 3 controller?

Thank you.

I'm sorry, but this issue can't be just a whole bunch of people having "bad controllers."

I have have these instances:

Trying to spring brings up either the leaderboard, the map, or the calling in vehicle menus
Pressing L1 to zoom in with a sniper rifle brings up the neocom.

And yes, I do have an old DS3 controller but I have also recently purchased a brand spanking new one and guess what? I still have the same problem. So...it isn't the controller.

my suggestion if you have this problem, check your controller out in other games, see if the controller works as intended

It's a BUG that occurs whenever there is too much acvtivity/graphics onscreen. Unfortunately, it maily occurs during cqc. This has been present since closed Beta. To be honest, I don't think CCP knows what's causing it. This affects KBM users as well. This BUG has caused me to MCC camp more times than I can count. The only people who don't get this BUG are the ones who never really fight, like Snipers.
