Wow youre being a total dick. Check my battlelog and tell me I lack knowledge of the game, I clearly dont. I stopped playing for a couple of months to practice up some SCV but Im back in full swing on BF3 now as Im now at the point where I can use my main character well and I can learn quickly off an hour a night. I was 850th in the leaderboards on BF3 before I quit and I was 500th in the support class leaderboards and I was also the number 1 killer with the MG36, Ive taken out a large amount of vehicles so I know exactly what Im doing and I dont need to justify myself to you. You probably have a 0.3 kd with an SPM of 300 or something shit like that.
So unless you want to show me your battlelog to prove you dont have just a 300 spm and 0.3kd maybe you should move on to the other subject that myself and everyone else has which is the issue with suppression.
Just went on and tried out the patch, Squad Cover is really vital now and even that doesnt really do enough. The blur comes very fast and theyve made the aim of your guy very inaccurate when you are being suppressed. I think they should have done 1 thing or the other but both blur and aim is far too much. I am getting a lot more suppression assists now though I still think all they needed to do was lower the amount you needed for the ribbon from 7 to 5 and left the suppression the same because it was well balanced before.
A hotfix in the next months maybe, it would be great before the CQ expansion.
I see a lot of people complaining is some gaming sites about the “rent a server” feature (the typical comments of “ea is greedy” bla bla bla), is not hard to rent your server if you have a clan of 25 people, you pay 1$, is really simple.
I can’t believe I am getting kicked from servers for just occupying a helicopter seat. It isn’t like they need to unlock anything they both are level 100 Colonels anyway. Oh and another room I got banned cause I was in a helicopter and I wasn’t even the pilot. Host is probably mad not a single tank got past the first flag.
Ha yeh its a bit messed up in some servers. Our platoon were playing a 2000 ticket server of conquest last night and towards the end all our consoles started freezing up 1 by 1. Not sure it could cope with the 32,000 point scores and things, we went on another server with 1000 and it was fine.
GGs with Akimbo and Cawi, I wish they would quit buffing air vehicles. I know they supposedly got nerfed but they really did not. Stingers will never hit them as long as they fly lower then a certain altitude, or they can just run from them(including Choppers now). Heli’s can now outrun Javelin missiles as well, it is more of a pain in the ass to take down aircraft now then it was pre patch.
In a lot of gaming sites i see a lot of people bitching about that you can pay now for unlocking attachments and perks in game, after 6 months this kind of DLC has zero impact on the core gameplay imo, is cool to hate EA now because of ME lol even if these people don’t play this game at all -_-
I dont have any problem with shortcut packs at all. If someone is coming into a game like BF3 late then it can be very difficult for them early on to really get into it because they have none of the equipment available that everyone else does and they already have a lot to contend with because they dont know how to use the vehicles or have map knowledge and things like that. Some of the stuff to unlock can take what feels like a very long and painfully un fun time to get if you are one of those players coming in late (I didnt get Bad Company 1 until it was an XBClassic title). Shortcut packs only give people what everyone else has already so it doesnt ruin the balance of the game and give new players an unfair advantage, theyre still going to get killed alot, crash vehicles all over the place and hide somewhere out of the way because theyre scared of objective combat so if it helps new players without making the game mechanics noobish or without changing the balance of the game then why should people care? They have access to the stuff already and they earned it without spending money. Shortcut packs just help keep the game and new players more competitive which keeps it fun. I think its good they at least offer the choice even if I would never buy it.
im in favor of the shortcuts. im totally uninterested in grinding the co-op missions
i also like the supression effect post patch. i get a lot of my kills from run and gun, and it forces me to play a bit smarter from behind cover more often
I took out two choppers with my AA missiles. Most of them had ECM jammer equipped though =/ shit’s annoying. I like the buffs to Heat-Seekers as they are a viable option at tacking down a jet/chopper cause the lock-on time and damage has been buffed. Tanks are squishy now but I still managed to rape an enemy tank/IFV with two shots from the main cannon o0.
I was testing some PDWs tonight as I never really used them enough before and I heard theyve had a few buffs. I tried the P90 and PP19 which both received buffs and I tried the MP7 which had no changes. I found the best one of those was the MP7 with the extended mag, if youre playing CQ its really great but it seems to have a really good mid range compared to the other PDW’s too. PP19 and P90 seemed just as good as each other but PP-19 doesnt need the attachment slot used up with extended mag as it already has 55 capacity raw which, for me, gives it the edge over the P90. Overall though, the MP7 still seems to be much more effective out of those 3 even with no changes to it.
Yeah, i tested my typical “run and gun” style this week but right now is incredibly risky.
I had some TDM games this week with more emphasis on cover, teamwork and spot assists, and i had amazing results, if you play this game like COD right now is complete suicide, these new changes are a great concept but it needs a little nerf.
Can someone explain to me why sometimes i can’t kill people in less than 10 meters of distance with my bolt action rifles? -_-
Haha yeh its impossible to play like its CoD because about 80% of CoD is sitting inside a building waiting for someones killstreak to expire after someone in your team just kept running in to them through the same doorway over and over again.
Im finding the MP7 is so accurate and with the extended mag and firing just as you start to turn the corner where you know theres enemies puts some early suppression fire on which helps alot. Its not all about just run at people and spray the gun with the PDWs. The real point in there being next to no recoil is you can just unload on people pretty much with out having to control your bursts a lot and if you get them in the head then they drop quickly. The reason for having the extended 41 mag is so you can utilise suppression and also take out more than 1 person, theyre much more about ducking in and out of corner cover and places. I dont think Id ever use it on somewhere like Kharg as its too open but Op Met and Bazaar they work very well with the tight infantry combat and I think that now the frags are done people may turn to PDWs a lot more.
I don’t know i haven’t tried the MP7 i will do it tonight :), i feel cool with other PDW’s like the AS-VAL and the PP2000
Edit: there is a LOT of custom servers with metro 24/7 and 500/1000 tickets lol, people are trying to boost their stats and is very hard to find a DICE/EA server now
OMG the AN-94 is a fucking death laser kinda sad I grinded out 500+ kills with it when it was ass on console. I use that for med/long-range maps along with the L85A2(Why was this buffed?). I’m still trying to get the right attachment combo on the AK-74M.
Playing Gulf of Oman with 600 tickets on CQ was kinda fun. Too bad the F-35 is still ass.
Ha yeh theres a lot of those “BETA MAP” servers. People only seem to want to play those so we leave our platoon one on that rotation when none of us are on just to keep the server full and then we put a 2nd rotation in with all the maps. Grinding out Op Met just gets so boring, I dont know how people can keep playing it especially when they play an hour just to lose against us.
@Funbags.
They increased the damage of the L85 to counter the very low RoF compared to the other assault rifles. Before it just wasnt that great over distance and thats really what the gun is for. It did need a buff before and I think theyve managed to keep it around the mid tier really. Doesnt seem like everyone is favouring it quite like the FAMAS so its a sensible choice for DICE this time.
