Because that always works. You can be assured to hear one other person who can hear 1 other person to which the next person can hear all but no one can hear him. We go that route though it could make me look a little better. I'd just say, "christ I swear I heard you say blow it up"

SP is getting blasted, so not sure if this is a release day buy for me anymore. Might wait a while and get it cheaper. Haven't decided yet. Not as big into MP versus as most people around here, as I prefer MP co-op type of stuff.

I played SP last night mainly to get used to the controls since I've been playing Black Ops all year and i enjoyed it. Admittedly I'm more of a MP person which I've played around with today and the biggest difference between Black Ops and BF3 is that it's much harder to spot opposing players. It's not that they aren't around, but in COD as soon as you target a player their name lights up in red or green. In BF3 that doesn't happen, so a lot of my death's right now are a result of figuring out who is who. I hope now that I have an ACOG targeting opposing players will become a little easier.

Only reason SP is getting blasted is because people expect way to much.I haven't touched it either just be doing MP.The controls are the only are the one main complaints I've notice people will get used to those.I'll play SP later this winter when I move.The graphics look great to me.I think people just expected it be like MW for some reason and realize it is a completely different game so I dunno either.But I love the game so far.

AustinWolv
10-25-2011, 03:50 PM
Well, the funny thing is that the complaints about SP is that it is too close to MW, being scripted and basically on rails without any freedom.

Two more games and I'll unlock my harbinger of death. :clap:

The maps on this game are fun as hell. I sincerely doubt I would like them with vehicles on them, but they play so well on Team Deathmatch that I probably wont even try the other game modes. I've played on them all so far and they all have a really nice flow to them. Also, great job to EA for fixing the health and the hit detection. They were by far my biggest two complaints and they're both right where they should be.

I love my M416. I used it virtually the entire time while playing Bad Company 2, and considering I just unlocked it and it's just as good, if not better, in BF3, I'm probably just going to max out it's attachments and not worry about any of the other weapons. Once I get the suppressor for it, I'll be content.

These damn servers have caused me to unlock stuff twice for my class. That is the exact gun I am going for as well, but on bad company I was loved my M416, but the AUG stole my heart later on, so I cant wait to see what it has for me this game.

The stupid rubber banding lag is really starting to get on my nerves. This shit should not be happening with dedicated servers that were already beta tested. It takes me 10 attempts just to even get in a game, and when I do, I can barely move 10 feet without falling back 5 feet. So lame.

On a campain note.It is pretty fun and very enjoyable IMO.Just got done doing the Jet mission.Glad I wasn't flying just doing the firing etc.It was hell a fun. I the graphics are killer A+ on the story mode for me.

What's your loadout look like? I know I've been tearing people to shreds with my M416(Reflex sight, grip, and suppressor). It's a little weak at long range, but it's deadly up close. I'm close to unlocking the F2000, which I think will work even better with the way I play because of it's firing rate.

K/D ratio doesn't mean anything on this game unless you're playing TDM, which is all I play(but that's because I HATE, HATE, HATE online shooters with vehicles). If you're playing Conquest or Rush, k/d ratio should be the last thing on your mind. I mean, it is a video game after all. As long as you're having fun, why does it matter what your ratio is?

I completely agree. That's why I DESPERATELY miss America's Army 2.0-2.5 for the PC. It was fun as hell to play the escort map Hospital where you had to escort the VIP out to the helipad that was guaranteed to be covered in all angles by the other team. I was REALLY good at playing the escort on those missions because I wouldn't give a shit about kill ratio or any of that other shit. I'd go straight for trying to escape as quickly as possible.

God damn it I miss that game so much...

Ew, Engineer class. That's your problem right there. If you're using SMGs, you have to get right up close to someone. At medium to long range, you might as well not even fire your gun.

I love to use the IAR light machine gun, its a modded version of the M416 with more stopping power. It can kick like a mule sometimes, but it is a very effective weapon from long distance and can even win in medium range battles. The M416 with the stands and a silencer is super deadly even at long range with the burst fire. I love it.

These flashlights are irritating as shit not only do they completely blind the shit out of you but even your teammates flashlights blind you. Honestly I don't know why everyone won't use them they are just that effective on 90% of the maps at lease at one point or another because they are close quarters, I have even had times where me and another guy are just blinding each other. I think the width of the blindness is to big, like it blinds your entire screen, not only a specific point.

I understand the thought process I just don't agree with it.

In testing out my Surefire X300 tac light when I got it a year ago, it's pretty blinding at night. That being said I hope that everyone on the opposing team has tac lights, you can see them coming a mile away.

Yeah it is really useful when spotting at distance, but when you are in a gunbattle its frustrating as hell. I think what pisses me off more than the actual light though is when teammates blind you. Its like seriously dude why are you looking at me I know you see my name above my head.

I have my light on my pistol, but shit when someone blinds you you really don't have a chance, I have gotten lucky a few times by just strafing left and right but by majority they kill me. I am not saying it unrealistic by any means.

Let me say mors it only blinds you while they are looking at you, kinda literally like looking into a light you can see, but you only see the light. Again just my personal opinion they should have left it out the game. Maybe if they only allowed it to blind if they pulled the gun up, or something to that effect would help.

I will say snipers are complete idiots when they have laser sights and falashlights on their guns, you can literally see them across a map, and all I play is conquest so much of the maps are huge.

I OU a Beatn
10-30-2011, 11:14 AM
The light is the dumbest fucking shit ever. I wouldn't mind if it happened on dark maps, but it blinds you on the maps that are as bright as can be. What the fuck? It needs toned down so that it only works on night maps(which actually makes sense) or they need to get rid of it entirely. There's nothing more annoying than getting into a close quarters combat situation with someone and you lose because you can't even see the fucker.

The spawn system is also laughable. Hands down the worst spawn system ever implemented in any game. I said this on Utopia, but the other day while the countdown timer was running down to start the game, I happened to look to my right and see a guy without his name above his head. I figured there's no way it hell it would be THAT shitty, but it was. The game started, I blew his head off, and I had a kill within the first half second of the game. It's not always this bad, but there's numerous times where the spawn system fucks someone over every single game. It definitely needs tweaked a bit.

Other than those issues and the annoying play style of most BF players, I'm having fun with the game. I was looking forward to unlocking the UMP45, but I've heard it was nerfed so bad it's not even worth using. Go figure.

That's what REALLY pisses me off about shooters right now. Instead of using the real gun's stats, they nerf them so that everyone doesn't use anything but the "best" gun because what's the point in using anything else besides wanting to challenge yourself or to be "different"?

It's annoying. Either give me a gun that acts like how the fuckin' gun should really act or don't include the damn thing. :fp:

For the sake of enjoyment I will say I am glad that they tone down guns, because more times than not if everyone is using a particualr weapon that means its simply overpowered versus every other gun ie. the 1911 pistol on BC2 or even the auto shotgun on BC2

Personally, I'm loving the game. But I also like Rush mode & I know several of you have made it clear how you feel about that so... :D To each his own... I will say that I was wholly unimpressed with the campaign. Too linear & repetitive, especially the airplane level. Here's hoping MW3 is much better in that area, MW2 was also disappointing in that respect.

MW3 is going to be the exact same as MW2 campaign wise. As linear as it gets, tons of explosions, a lot of different locales, and a story no one cares about. World at War was the closest Call of Duty ever came to having a good campaign, and even that was just decent.

I'm sure you pay more attention to it that I do & that you're right. I think what I'm hoping for is more of a return to the original modern warfare type campaign. I just found the one in MW2 to be just ridiculously unrealistic. I understand it's going to be somewhat sensationalized but when the final scene is me chasing down a helicopter in a rubber zodiac it's a bit of a stretch for me. Again, I realize even MW1 wasn't completely realistic but to me it was a bit more plausible.

Well, the other joke of a thing about the MW campaign is that BF3 campaign basically went the same route........ridiculous story twists and "shocking" moral stuff........with linear gameplay that funnels you through one area without the ability to problem-solve a smarter way.

If you want at least somewhat plausible gameplay and less Hollywood-ridiculous action scenes, play Medal of Honor.

Finally got online with this last night. Played about 5 rounds of Rush.

Before that my ol' shooting group of Violator and H8 got on Call of Duty Black Ops as we're trying to prestige for a bonus on MW3 (I barely played online, maybe a few rounds with CDJ and CCC, so I was level 11.)

Coming off a few rounds of Black Ops, holy cow does a death not feel as cheap on Battlefield 3 as it does on Black Ops.

I had a pretty good time on it last night. Connection was perfect for me too.

Is there some bullshit rank-up thing that makes gun better or something? That is the lame shit that CoD MP is infamous for and why I don't play MP in CoD.
Otherwise, the graphics and vehicle stuff is pretty fun. Good times riding around on the skid of a Little Bird, harassing people.

Lame. Go figure.

Why is it so fucking hard for game devs to model hits and damage based on the gun in use? C'mon, if I pop a guy with a couple 7.62 rounds from an AK, they aren't to be feeling "fine" as they respond with a shoulder-held M240 and be able to put accurate full-auto fire on me. Hell, I have yet to see any real-world soldier shoulder-fire a M240 in combat employment, much less run around with it and be accurate with it off the shoulder.

Both of those things are what drives me nuts about these MP games. And why Op: Flashpoint is much better done.

I COMPLETELY agree and that's why I loved America's Army so much. To shoot it with any accuracy at all, you had to do VERY short bursts or lay down, and put out the stand to have a prayer of being accurate. Sadly, with the 3.0 update, they have ruined that by following the idiot FPS masses...

Lame. Go figure.

Why is it so fucking hard for game devs to model hits and damage based on the gun in use? C'mon, if I pop a guy with a couple 7.62 rounds from an AK, they aren't to be feeling "fine" as they respond with a shoulder-held M240 and be able to put accurate full-auto fire on me. Hell, I have yet to see any real-world soldier shoulder-fire a M240 in combat employment, much less run around with it and be accurate with it off the shoulder.

I'm going to assume that most of your issues came whenever your opponent was moving and you were trying to shoot him? If so, that's the lovely hit detection that has been fucked up since the beta, and was even an issue on Bad Company 2. As retarded as it sounds, you have to lead them. If they're running to the right, you want to direct your bullets directly where they're headed by a tad. It sounds stupid considering how fast the bullets should be moving, but it works.

OU, I understand what you are saying. One guy was standing still though, as I came up on his 7 o'clock. You are right that the other guys were moving though IIRC.

The shooting is modeled for shit compared to shooting real guns.

Beat the campaign tonight and while it's woefully short, it was a fairly enjoyable experience. The story was cliche and what virtually every shooter is doing nowadays, but I still had fun with it. Hard mode is a lot harder than what it was in Bad Company 2, but it was nothing too bad. Now I just have to finish up the specific mission achievements, level up some more in online, and 1000G. :easy:

I don't see the "tactical" play that everyone on the internet is eluding to. I mean, I guess it would be tactical if you had a full clan to run around with, but with randoms in the mix, it will never be tactical. It's more tactical than MW3, yes, but so is Hannah Montana, Dance Central, and just about every game on the planet.

Dead Island was okay, but I see it as more of a "great concept with failed execution." The game gets really repetitive and dull the more you play it. I thought it needed more side missions that allowed you to do a variety of things, rather than the same old "fetch this" style of mission.

Uncharted 3 is really good if you haven't played that. Starhawk and Twisted Metal are both coming out over the next 2 or 3 months, so it may be best to just save it if you're interested in either of those.

Even with three people it can be tactical at times, though randoms certainly mess things up that will never go away till you can dominate a squad.

:sf: and I are the only people that can be gunned down in a group of 4 with us trailing the first 2 without anyone else getting shot or seeing the enemy I swear.

This is my first shooter so I started off really bad, my k/d was .27 (lower the first couple of weeks) but I have improved that to .39. It is a slow process though because I really like the game and play a ton.

I'm also like JB, there is no messing around. We have a goal and we go for it each and every time! I really have a blast when we are all on. We conference call each other so that we don't have to deal with the crappy reception on PS3.

If it's snoop, JB, and I who find someone, it usually plays out like this:

1. :sf: shoots a wall, a box, or the ground, then passes away.

2. snoop empties a clip into the enemy and passes away.

3. JB gets the kill, finds 4 more enemies and kills 3, then passes away.

4. snoop gets a 97 kill assist for the original enemy.

Well I knew it was a matter of time before the cheese came along, apparently it is the USAS-12 with frag rounds. It has crazy distance, and while it also has distance it has sniper rifle style supression. It is just crazy unfortuanly I don't think they will do anything about it as the auto shooty was overpowered in BC2 and they never fixed it and even on their forums people are saying leave it alone, apparently they havent been in a room yet where most people are using it.

It absolutely would but this isn't real life and also an auto shot can't shoot further than an assault rifle.

I would post some youtube videos but I am at work. So just youtube it and you will see how far off that gun can shoot, with the frag rounds in the game. Its not gun its the attachment of frag rounds that makes it crazy.

I think they have, but I don't know why...it fits their games so well. I stopped playing a few weeks ago, and like a few people on my friend's list, I'm not playing again until the shit is patched. There's absolutely no excuse for me getting killed from long distances by a stupid shotgun. I'd expect shit like that in Modern Warfare 3, not something made by Dice.

You shouldn't come across that AT ALL. That's beyond ridiculous. There's another video showing a dude shooting at someone from a good 200 feet away, across a river from one hill to the other. It's ridiculous the range that fuckin' gun has. With how incredibly overpowered it is, why would you use anything else?

I quit playing about three weeks ago and I was seeing it every other game or so. From what I've heard, that's when people first started finding out about it, so I can imagine it's only that much more prevalent now, especially since it's even on Youtube for everyone to see.

Besides, as mors said, it doesn't matter if it only happens once every 50 games, that's one time too many. To have something that overpowered in a game is inexcusable. As I said, I was getting picked off halfway across the map. From a shotgun. A shotgun. That's just unacceptable. It's not even like it's the only thing wrong with the game. Between the spawn system, several overpowered weapons, the voice chat on PS3, and the glitches that STILL exist from the beta, this game is a mess. I'm just hopeful they can fix it before I lose interest. I played the shit out of Bad Company 2 and loved it and I've been nothing but disappointed so far with BF3.

The shotguns + frag rounds have just about made it their for me, some of the glitches are irritating but not necessarily game killers. I can't think of any other gun that is so overpowered that I don't want to play the game.

The thing is you really won't see it that much until one idiot comes into a room which is just about every other match and then it totally fucks up the room, but anytime you go to Seine Crossing( which was one the best maps on the game), Operation Metro ( never liked it anyway), Grand Bazar (also a pretty good map), or any of the B2K maps these things start flying out and the room just became unplayable. It pretty makes everyone either use the shogun or snipe.

I have played noticeably more matches than 200 and I really have just started seeing this on a consistent basis about 2 weeks ago but this past week has been worse.

I have seen it a few times but nothing that would push me away from this game. It would be hard pressed for to many people to have logged the amount of time I've spent in my really first shooter game. I play the hell out of this game and enjoy it each and every time.

I noticed that once I unlocked the shotgun M1O1 I think it is, that I was able to really destroy some people (this coming from someone with a .44 k/d) and quickly got away from it. I now use the FAMAS but it is way overpowered as well.

Just got done doing 4 hours of BF3 with Snoop. psuexv and cdj were in for a bit as well....only ran into the USAS12 once, and it was some idiot that didn't understand the concept of Rush :D he was sitting on a roof (like he probably saw on YouTube) and was trying to shoot, but little did he know we took out both initial MCOMs ... I ended up grabbing 4 or 5 in that round, and we breezed through Strike at Karkand in about 9 minutes.

I think Rush is the key to not seeing so much of the shotgun. TDM is full of K-D R-ers. Mountain Dew Code Red motherfuckers.

I didn't know people even played Rush. Rush is such a horrible game mode I just assumed people playing BF3 were doing so in Conquest or Team Deathmatch. But yes, I'd find most any shotgun to be completely worthless on Rush, simply because long range weapons are going to be so much more effective. If you want a dosage of the shotgun bullshit, load up a few games of Conquest or Team Deathmatch.

Conquest is cool, in theory, but falls short (imo) because there just aren't enough players to justify 5 bases. If it were 24 vs 24, I'd play it all the time.

Yeah, I don't know why they limited the player numbers on consoles like they did. On PC, it supports up to 32 vs 32 for Conquest, which is the perfect number. It's kind of baffling they cited technical reasons when MAG had 256 players playing at the same time with virtually no noticeable lag.

To be fair, I haven't even tried Rush on BF3 yet. It was so bad on Bad Company 2 that I'll never try it again. There is nothing more infuriating than trying to attack a team's objective, only to look back at your spawn and see half your team sniping. It's probably fun if you can get 4+ people that will consistently push for the objective, but I've never had that. It's definitely a game mode designed for those playing with full squads and communicating.

How? They still haven't fix their fucked up VoIP that's been messed up since the beta. Even regardless of that, it's a super shitty mode simply because it's not even fair. If you go through and plant all the bombs, it's over. If they stop you on one, it's over. It should be set up where one team attacks, then they switch. After that, whichever team destroyed more objectives wins, and if they were even, the team that did it the quickest wins.

Conquest was the shit in Bad Company 2, but I don't find that enjoyable at all in BF3. So far, in the little time that I have played, I've been sticking to Team Deathmatch, which aside from the absolutely laughable spawn system, is mildly fun. I just have a hard time playing it. I don't know if it's because of the boring gun battles or what, but I don't even think I've played 20 hours yet. :D

When it's like $10, it's not going to drop much more, if any. Just a few weeks ago I got Warhammer 40K: Space Marine for $5. It'll never get that low in price again.
