hah isnt the mortar shooting guy camping too? didnt see him move in the vid at all..

servers are predictably mobbed and more or less down

thing is it is already lag city on Bad company 2 servers with 32 players, how do they think having 64 is going to be any better

the knifing animations on this are kinda extravagant but awesome.. have yet to experience a greater joy than creeping up on an engineer repairing a tank and knifing him in the chest.

bah it didn't arrive today like i was promised.

got mine

installed with HD pack

now to play some 5s first then it's shooting all night long

amazon sent me a code to unlock some equipment, which was nice of them.

what do you think of it then cozen?

+ it's battlefield
- lots of HUD

stats!

seem to be loads of lag problems

i get a lot of horrible flickering graphic things, is this the game or my pc buckling under the load

Watched some multiplayer last night. The jet stuff is pretty sweet.

killing machine

only been able to have an hour or so so far, when do we get rush modes? not that big a fan of deathmatch on this.

Scratch that, found 'em

I'm v v poor at this game

yeah, i'm pretty terrible at this. did OK w/ BF2, but that was on a PC and several years ago. is there any easy way to practice flying?

never was in BC2, you just had to suffer the humiliation from your team mates fury as you crash (yet another) chopper

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=R-Rv9X-TqMg

idgi, did he grab that helicopter after bailing out of the jet?

yeah, and became the gunner of the chopper

and my copy still hasn't arrived even though i pre ordered around June.

ffs

1. kills jet
2. takes fire to near death
3. bails
4. gets into heli
5. kills aggressor from 2
6. ????
7. profit

well still no sign of this in the post, i guess will give it another week before I assign it an MIA status. But fucked if i'm going to fork out another 30 quid for this again, besides the gta5 news kinda overshadowed the excitement anyway. i'll buy it in about a year when the price comes down.

ah well, BC2 here i come.

got this for ps3. BLIFIL is my psn

my lmg/c4 game is pretty tight these days

anyone who's on the fence about this, you can get it from the EU PSN as part of a PS3 gameshare (before the party ends on the 18th) for like $17ish

postman pricks

should i get this or skyrim?

I've been playing BF games since BF 1942, and have been playing this one for about a week. Without offering any opinion on whether or not this is a good game, I had a moment after playing a few rounds Saturday night, where I realized I have not really had any fun with this game yet.

- The grind for weapons is miserable: I've picked up enough of other people's kits to know what I am missing. With the weapons I have no, I can't hit anybody more than once or twice from a distance. When I do mange to hit someone, it rarely seems to kill them; most of the time they turn right around and kill me while I am reloading. Yet, I am constantly getting sniped by people I can't see - who aren't even using sniper rifles to do it! I am positive that this is related to body armor, heavy barrels, etc. I am trying to be patient. Experience with BF2 and BFBC2 tells me that it will get better with equipment.

- I hate that these BF games have turned into such long range affairs. I get that this is a byproduct of trying to simulate modern warfare, but it makes me long for the simple days of shitty WWII rifles. Most of the time I don't even see who kills me until the death camera (if the server has it enabled).

- There is absolutely no teamwork. I thought the same thing the first time I played BFBC2: Man, this would be fun with a clan, but it is total chaos without any organization. Both the spotting mechanic, and the ability to spawn on squad members help to some degree, but for the most part it is total chaos with a bunch of angry nerds predictably insulting each others' sexual gender preferences.

I am so over big multiplayer games. I will keep ramming my face against the wall playing this game until I gets fun (if it ever does), just like I did with BC2, but this is the last Battlefield game I intend to buy unless they make some major changes next time around. Bring on Skyrim.

rockapads are you on 360 (and in UK)?

only ask cos I usually play in games with 6/7 others, working as a team

welcome to join us

On PC in the US, but I appreciate the invite!

yeah big problem with BF is public servers where you just have no idea who you're playing with, in a game where team work is pretty much essential.

that and fucking retarded post men

battlefield seems like a stressful game for people that like succeeding at stuff

maybe, but if you mean people who like a 'quick win' then yes.

I really like this game but those criticisms are fair. Matches can be miserable if you're on with a bunch of retards. But I still prefer the team/objective based play compared to the c/d ratio competition that's cod.

well guess what just dropped through the letter box, as well as my new vacuum cleaner which wasn't due until thursday.

so my day off today, and plans arranged, just became filled.

i'm not hardcore enough to make friends and have a headset and form a team and work together to complete objectives, which all sounds super fun. i just log on and play with pubbies and get instasniped 10k times and occasionally shoot a dude. it's entertaining enough for me but for people that give a shit (but not so much of a shit that they do all the hardcore player dude things) it must be really frustrating.

yeah i agree with that.

i seem to do okay with crap guns and few addons though. in fact in bc2 i mostly use pins insread of all those scope shit. apart from sniper.

anyway this isnt bad. its got many problems. really dont like the tactical light addition. bbl

supposedly the tactical light is getting fixed in the next patch, which is good

I guess two of the main things to always keep in mind of this game is where youre at in an open position and to not blindly rush out into a situation.. sometimes you cant help it, but once I decided to slow my roll I started to do a hell of a lot better.. learning the maps is a big part of this as well.. I also learned to love the support class and the bipod. If you cant straight up kill anyone the +50 suppression bonus is a nice consolation prize.

how's the 1p on this? i enjoy military shooters but don't have much time for the multi grind

i was highly confused by the gun upgrades in this one at first, i didn't realise they'd returned to providing the two different weapons types for Russia and USA. So I was like 'where the heck has my RPG gone to?'

this has 1p?

all about the multi grind

sound on this game is class leading

seach & replace "BF" with "boyfriend" in this thread if u want lols

- I hate that these boyfriend games have turned into such long range affairs.

omg lol

yeah big problem with BF is public servers where you just have no idea who you're playing with, in a game where team work is pretty much essential.

oh i thought it meant 1:4 ration. you got 1.4 ? that's amazing.

Mines actually 0.5 or something awful, 500 kills, over a thousands deaths

ratio, even.

also, i call bullshit on some of the stats. it says i have 0 repairs - which is utter nonsense.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/FozzieLad/stats/353733115/

also, on pc, this looks miles better for me at the 1400x720 or whatever it is screen size. only because at full 1920x1080 the menu parts make up a tiny part in the middle of the screen.

And why did they make it so that the chat windows closes right at the end of a game? Now we don't get to call each other noobs, fags and campers when we lose. ah well.

this game was amazing
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/8308743/2/179257062/

was 7 vs 1, about 190 tickets vs 100. I was in the 7 with 4 other squad mates. decided to switch teams unilaterally so threw a grenade at feet and switched. was then 8 vs 3. we were down to 120/130 tickets vs 60/70 at one point when a squad of level 21, level 13 and level 7 colonels joined at which point we BOSSED it and eventually won by about 20 tickets

this game man

haha. i had a moment yesterday with a sniper on those tall cranes. I was trying to snipe him but he was prone and was hidden from my bullets. But in my attempts, his squad members kept spawning on him and so they took my flak. which was nice

Had my best session before, after a trying night of failures, finished with a 20 :5 kd ration. My secret weapon? IR scope, seems like my new favourite toy for finding those sneaky campers.

battlefield 4 pc? anyone?

battlefield 1 is fun as far as these things go

next stop a 19th century fps. battlefield borodino.

choose class:

cavalry man. vehicle - horse. weapon - sword.
cannon guy. weapon - like 3 of you are needed to fire a cannon in a pretty unpredictable trajectory.
musket man. weapon - musket

new class added in update: horse

go check out lets play videos for mount and blade napoleonic wars.. shit looks insanely boring and riveting at the same time.

its like a run around in formation and reloading simulator

haha doh i didn't figure that that such a thing actually existed

i played for like 5 hours last night! and i suck a fps but this has been a blast
