EA Battlefield 3 - Part 2

[ProjectPat2280]

I haven't played this game in like a week. I'm at my parents house for the holidays and their Internet connection blows. Gonna have to head back to my condo at school early so I can get some good, uninterrupted games of BF3 in.

The back to karkand weapons are much more effective than many of the standard weapons. The Famas especially

 

[Balthus Dire]

Yeah, they're pretty awesome. Some of them were so frustrating to unlock, though (IMO). I absolutely hated having to win 5 SQDM matches for one of them. Worst game mode ever.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea that sucks u have to play diff game modes to unlock some of the weapons. That means I'll prob never unlock any of them as I don't venture outside of rush and cq. I don't care enough about unlocking anything anyway, I'm content with what I have now.

squad deathmatch and team death match should just be tossed.....toss squad rush too....

if they used it for scrims and stuff great, but the games squad feature is so bad, you can go into a empty room and end up on 4 different teams.....or go into a 8 vs 2 match and end up on the 8 person team for no reason. makes no sense to me.

heavens, this thread needs a bump. Anybody having issues with their loadouts not saving?

that was my life yesterday....clocking in the longest battlefield match i ever had....exciting.

edit: Im Maddocks976 in case anyone was wondering. Reason it took so long was because we would widdle it down to 10-5 tickets left and they would take a remaining M-Com station. But I finally said you know what, im going to camp a M-Com and protect it, and it worked.

 

[Balthus Dire]

I hate when that happens, and you can almost always tell when it's gonna happen, too. Usually it's when your team is completely dominating so everyone starts to try to camp the enemy spawn, so all it takes is ONE dude to get by them and suddenly BAM the MCOM station is toast. Drives me crazy.

I'm usually the guy going "Guys get back to the MCOM someone got through!" and nobody cares.

 

[Quasimod0]

Its great to be that guy who sneaks in and plants the bomb though. But I know how you feel, it sucks when your team mates arent even protecting the crate

 

[Clu]

Im not one to complain but man, USAS frag users are getting out of hand. I seen a team full of them and not only that, i see the stars by the gun....15...19....highest i seen was 78...

i normally dont care about frag rounds, say its just a part of the game. But the secret is out and its turning the game into a who can kill you from longer ranges with a shotgun fest.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Im certain NO one at EA/DICE has ever actually fired a shotgun. If they have they would know how poorly designed their shotguns are. I was killed by a shotgun and as soon as i died i thought to myself, 'oh i must of not seen him'. Well the killcam popped up and i realized how damn far away he was. It was ridiculous. Im not surprised tho, the shotguns were horribly designed in BC2 as well.

But yea, the USAS users are getting out of hand. DICE HAS to do something about it. That could be the most ridiculous weapon iv ever seen in a fps

 

[Balthus Dire]

They're too busy nerfing attachments because "too many people use them." IMO DICE has made themselves look like they don't have a clue with some of their patch mentality.

Yea id agree with that. The game wasn't even out long enough before they started "nerfing" stuff. They nerfed the tac light so bad its become absolutely useless, they might as well just remove it.

 

[SWAT]

One assignment left... Feels like I'm never gonna get it.

 

[Quasimod0]

You'll get it!

Hahah yeah I hate how DICE are listening to people who can't lone wolf. They might even nerf the javelin coz pilot choppers don't like how it takes them down in one shot. HAVE A BUDDY KILL THE SOFLAM! Idiots.

They're making all these nerfs but they still haven't fixed the intrusive HUD. I've died so many times because enemies are hiding behind a row of flag markers, especially on Op Firestorm. Whoever made that design choice and whoever allowed it should be fired.

Which one?

Oh lord, I couldn't agree more.

I HATE that. I don't think it's ever really caused me to miss or aided in my death but damn it's annoying.

Which one?

It Goes Boom!

It's the worst on Firestorm coz all the flags are lined up lol.

Spawn beacons count as vehicles buddy. :]

Thank you.

I've finally learned how to fly a damn helicopter. I wish DICE threw in a tutorial for the different control schemes; that way I wouldn't have to die every time I tried to fly. Ah well, at least I got it now.

 

[Quasimod0]

It's not too hard to pick up once you've tried it a few times. It's the getting to the helicopter before anyone else that gets me

 

[-Arya-]

Yeah that's also a problem. There were times during conquest where I spawed too late and there were no helis or jets available. I had to wait forever until another one came.

 

[Master Chief]

Thank you.

Anytime.

I think every aspiring pilot should work with the Venom, it's the most forgiving... but be sure to tell your passengers they might die lol.

I HAAAATE pilots who jump when s**t goes south though. There have been a couple times where I could switch to the pilot seat and get back in the air before crashing... as cool as that is, I HATE THEM.

I had a golden helicopter vs helicopter moment though. They managed to hit me with a rocket and a jet shot at me at the same time, knocked me down to 9% and set me on fire... Going down in flames with very little control, I managed to lock on, fired both heatseekers and took them down just as I blew up. Feeels good man.

Yea i agree. That was really stupid of them to not put in some kind of tutorial. I mean as mad as i want to get at garbage pilots, i can't because i know they have no option to learn outside of actually playing the MP. I learned to fly the helo's in Bad Company 2 by watching YouTube videos and the jets by playing BF 1943.


What i hate tho are people who will team kill you before you can take off so they can steal your jet/helo, or as MC said, people who will bail out before its really necessary.
