I haven't gotten it with L3, but I've had moments where pressing L1 brings up the neocom. That was happening in or out of vehicles, though. Certainly made it hard to take off in my dropship, though. |

Did you want to try and sprint in your tank?

I thought the [L1] = Neocom one was a software bug, but I'm not so sure anymore; since performing the below-linked fix, I don't think I've seen this once. Of course, this might just be me not really noting the occurence of it, or might be that it's been, if not fixed outright, "partly fixed" in some way that reduced its frequency. But, I do think that it is probably the same issue, only instead of [up], it's sending [start]. Whatever. Moving on...
The thing where [L3] triggers a D-pad (or other) button is usually a result of the connection between the controller's board and the ribbon cable from the buttons themselves being wonky. You press [L3] or [R3], and it shifts the board a bit, and the connection on one or more of the contacts breaks and connects again, and the controller sends the wrong signals to the PS3.
This might help you fix it.
The problem can also be triggered by gripping the controller tightly, or twisting it a bit between your hands, (this is why some people have noticed that, e.g. "it always seems to happen when I'm getting shot at") and will get worse with time. I had one that would just send all sorts of garbage phantom presses of the D-pad, [X], [circle] etc buttons, even the PS button, JUST FROM PICKING IT UP! 
I did pretty much exactly what the guy in the video shows, and that controller is now as good as new.
I hope this helps. Good luck! |

I'v got it several times while on feet. I really must look stupid standing still, practically screaming SHOOT ME I AM HERE!, while "this" happens 
All you can do is to press O button as fast as you can...
Unfortunately it is some very durable bug I hope CCP Devs have some wunderfaffe against it. It can really ruin your gameplay...

i think it happens because the controls in this game are waaaaaay too sensitive (nearly all the buttons on the controller are pressure sensitive). the game should be able to tolerate small movements and brushes against the buttons better. |

Hey, anybody with "Dropsuit Command V" gets this? Maybe it depends on that skill?  It makes sense... |

Oooo-kay. So, this part is me lying, apparently. 
I was playing earlier this afternoon, and got my ass killed because of the player list popping up (apparently I need to fix my newer controller, too. sheesh.) and had one or two other little indications of the same phantom-button-press thing. So I shut that controller off, and grab the older one, which I fixed a few weeks or maybe a month ago as in the video I linked, and keep playing.
I think it was in the next game, I got the [L1] Neocom bug. So, yeah, I'm calling bullshit on myself. :P That's totally a real software bug. My apologies for spreading scurrilous lies.
The player list or OMS menu thing really is from this poor design aspect of the DS3 controller, though.
The "hope it helps, good luck" part was sincere.
Oh, and I think JJ's onto something ^ there, about the control sensitivity. Completely making up numbers, if Dust is registering the button-press at 1% when most other games have a threshold of 10% or something, it could explain how the controller could be at fault when the behavior isn't seen in other games. |

Exactly, my unpronouncable friend! Y'see, when you're hauling clone-ass to get out of the way of that HMG or whatever, you're more likely to be tense and gripping your controller very tightly, and it can shift the bits inside a little, enough to cause this obnoxious behavior. I really suggest at least looking at that video. It's not a particularly difficult "surgery" to perform, and it honestly did help me with a completely unusable DualShock3.

I figure that five minutes and couple of inches of e-tape saved me $50. |
