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.

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.

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.

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.

maybe, but if you mean people who like a 'quick win' then yes.
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 00:10 (twelve years ago) link
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.

― Summer Slam! (Ste), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 12:14 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― adam, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
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
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
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
― goole, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
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?'
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 23:01 (twelve years ago) link

― Summer Slam! (Ste), Wednesday, 9 November 2011 23:32 (twelve years ago) link
okay so it behaved itself for the past few hours. got to rank 10 but not without a KD ratio of something quite ridiculous
additions i'm not keen on - prone, tactical light, mortars, hud stuff, maybe a bit too many add ons and kit stuff as i'm totally lost.
but i'll get used to most of those changes i'm sure.
also got this running with the gfx all on high (not ultra) and everything else switched on, and the highest res, and it runs fine.

this game was amazinghttp://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.
