G36 recoil reduced?! I was tearing it up earlier with that weapon.

It’s a shame they have to nerf the M16 and the 93R. They aren’t exactly insta kill guns. I hate how they nerf things like this, why can’t they bring the other pistols up a notch instead?

I think the guy is right about the M417, it is amazing but I still think the SKS is better because of the mobility and seemingly lower recoil when firing quickly.

I was playing solo today and playing solo sucks. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/49513971/2/169715112/ What more can I do for my team to get a win?!

The Raffica was actually broken IIRC cause it had Assault Rifle/Carbine+the quick burst fire make it the go-to sidearm. The M4A1/M16A3 are only getting hit caue people bitched about them being "too good "

-__-

Well admittedly it is the go to gun but it frustrates me how the go to always has to be nerfed. If the others were buffed I would quite happily use them. Nerfing just ruins things and buffing makes things work. One thing there i do like is the MG36 buff :smiley: but I probably still won’t pick it up properly ever again.

Ziba Tower? Is a really fun map.

The SPAS-12 is AWESOME!

Ziba is ok but I rage at the spawns sometimes, 5 times yesterday I spawned in front of rockets, on top of C4 or with a whole squad around me. I prefer the larger small maps like Donyar and Operation 925.

I think PC players are allowed to play full capacity games on these maps, its a shame we aren’t allowed to play 24 players. I guess they want to keep the new maps out of the main circulation for now while people decide whether they want the DLC or not so keeping it as 16 player will keep it seperated as if it is its own game.

New weapons that are good:

AUG (almost no recoil)

SCAR-L ( looking at the stats for this gun doesn’t do it justice. It has a lower RoF than the AUG, a lower muzzle velocity and higher spread when firing from the hip. In fact almost everything about the AUG is better except the SCAR has even less recoil than the AUG and the recoil is completely balanced from left to right. Basically the low recoil and almost no deviation at all makes the gun insanely accurate, almost every bullet will hit the target.)

ACR (This beats the SCAR-H as the go to long range engy weapon, its 27 capacity when chambered up and it is just great for mid/long engagements.)

MTAR (The description on the assignment said this was long range but it isnt, its high rof will absolutely destroy everything up close but at long range the recoil can be too much)

L86A2 (Wow! a support weapon that puts bullets where they’re supposed to)

M417 (Its not quite as spamable as the SKS but it often 1 shot kills in the head so its damage makes up for it.)

New weapons I don’t like:

LSAT (This gun flies around everywhere. Your accuracy will go down to about 4%)
JNG (Better than the L96 because it seems to re-chamber faster but I’m not sure it really beats out the M98 for the range so I would stll choose the M98 if I really wanted long range)

It surprises me that they haven’t put a D.Eagle in this game yet or released other pistols.

as a PC player I can confirm that

lol at the 64 player servers too

SCAR-L is glitched right now cause when you slap a heavy barrel on it it gains no vertical recoil XD

Gun Master is fun.

Gun Master is fun for a change of pace. It can be pretty brutal so I may find unranked servers for that mode. I wish it would randomise the weapons a little so pistol levels etc changed gun each time.

60 more PDW kills and I get the MP5K.

Back to the 24/7 Norsharr Canals TDM server I go.

Why not just play the Close Quarters maps with MP7 ext mag laser sight hip fire? Or P90 laser hip? It kills everything. MP5K is pretty average damage and the ext mag only sends it up to something like 30 bullets. MP7 is better and gives you 41 when chambered so when you unlock it you probably won’t want to bother using it much past that.

Did you finish the other assignments?

I just need to unlock the MP5K and JNG-90.

I’m pretty close to finishing the Premium “Wrench Wielder” one. Jackasses won’t stay still and lemme repair their tanks -_-

BTW the new maps are garbage, all of them. There is not one that belongs in this game. If I wanted to play shitty ass small maps that are half the size of the house I am living in, I would be playing MW2. Keep Cod out of Battlefield.

I don’t think a Scrapyard, a Tower, a ruined fortress, and a office complex complete with a parking lot are half the size of your house.,

I like them it’s a nice chanage from the meat grinder CQC maps like OP Metro and to a lesser extent, Grand Bazar. If I had to chose one I did not like it would be Scrapyard cause it’s easy to get lost.

Its Call of Duty, keep Call of Duty out of fucking Battlefield. This is just another step closer to making everything more casual again. I can not be the only one who wants the huge maps from BC2 back.

I don’t like OP Firestorm mainly cause nobody captures flags and my team dicks around in Jets/Helicopters. The size of it doesn’t help either.

Kharg is great. Caspain Border is “ok”

Hopefully the maps in AK won’t be silly big. And have loads of vehicles to help us get around.

I wish people would STFU about CQ being like COD.

Who gives a fuck? It’s more content that adds nothing but variety. Instead of moaning like a bitch, Untick that shit on your server browser.

The name “Close quarters” pretty much shows it’s hand, bro. Deal with it. You have AK + End Game to look forward too.

PC Players have huge maps that are fun, console players don’t due to the cap, have some consideration.

I havent played this shit in a long time. I updated it a week or two ago with the intention of playing it, I just never got around to it. Anyhow, do I gotta buy new maps for it and shit?

I wish people would stfu about them making other games like COD when people play those other games to not play COD. And you should give a fuck if you like Battlefield this is EA we are talking about here. Do not think for a second they are not looking and if this goes well, expect everything about BF to start becoming even more COD centric then it already is.

I really need to start checking server info, going into 1000 ticket servers is ass.

I remember the days when CQ meant Conquest.

These CQC maps are really good fun and a nice change of pace from the usual game. They show just what the engine is capable of and even in CQC and it still has a lot more depth and requires a lot more skill in terms of gun handling than CoD. Its actually really helped improve my efficiency, reload timing and and ammo conservation back in the original game variants by playing this because of the few chances you get to reload.

DICE will never turn Battlefield into just another CoD clone, they clearly realise why people play their game and the next DLCs all show that.

You don’t HAVE to buy new maps and stuff but Premium will save you a lot of money and give you loads of awesome new guns and maps to play with. Definitely worth it.
