I Ou maybe you just go into Auto matching .I never have any trouble find games in there.Always put me in one.
That's what I do. I then get "unable to connect to match" about 10 times before I'm able to join, and then when I finally get in a game, the lag is so bad there's no point in even playing.
I OU maybe it is your end of the deal,I dunno .Cause when I play online I have no problems what so ever on lag or finding a game.I played all day yesterday and today no problem.
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.
I didn't have any problems yesterday, either. All this stuff has started happening today. It takes 5 or 6 times to join a game and then it lags like crazy until the following match, and then it's fine.
I dunno some people can just aim on this dump game while shooting from long range and I can't hit for shit most of the time it gets annoying .Sadly I think I will be trading this back for MW3 , I just can't get a good k/d ration for crap.
That sentiment right there is why online shooters have gone to shit and why objective-based team MP is always a refreshing and so much more fun experience. Fucking kiddie kill count crap.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
If you can get a couple friends into a squad and actually play tactics and fields of fire angles, etc., the games are amazing. The run and spray crap is annoying as hell.
everyone run and sprays because of MW.People have no skills or can't aim.Just kill them and go on ha.
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.Quote:

I shoot down planes with my stinger F U guys nah jk lol.I tried the Jets once and it horrible controls IMO.I"ll stay away and shoot'em down .
Who all is playing on the PS3? We need to get a squad together. I'd like to see if we could get an Engineer, two Assault, and a Support personnel group.
It'd be great if we could get 3 squads together so we can have two fireteam's and an armor group or two fireteam's and a recon group.
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.Quote:

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.
Boy, that sounds REALLY ***. SO glad I didn't buy this piece of shit game...Quote:

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"?Quote:

Yea Battlefield does have some bad things going from them and why I won't be playing once MW3 drops.I agree about the dumb ass light attachment so annoying.Also this spawning system is just bad all around.Specially on small maps.You die like 3 times not even knowing it.
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 BC2Quote:

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.Quote:

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

just so frustrated with this online right now so not even funny.
Yeah, it went pretty quick. One of the few games that I've gone back to replay SP missions though. Haven't done that with CoD since MW1.Quote:

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.
Okay I'm a BF noob....do you have to be at a certain level to unlock the ability to use vehicles, or how does that work?
They are only in conquest or rush matches.Quote:

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.
