I've decided that the next time I play BF3 I need to get a good buzz on, I seem to do better when I am slightly inebriated. :D

Reminds me of the Guitar Hero days... :P
=( Encountered my first aimbot today! a guy named GameSharking__Bf3 magically managed to go 42 and 2 with nothing but headshots and 100% accuracy. Using an sv98... to give you an idea how ridiculous this was, i walked around a corner, saw him hit him with a shotgun, and he had time to turn and headshot me before i get a 2nd shot off. not really... no lag btw...
Pb Fail :(

I played around for a bit on it last night... has a pretty good ping so I will try to play on it more often. There was only 5 of us on the server lol.
Maybe my times are a little off lol but for the most part most of us get on at night. We've actually been having some trouble with the server keeping our settings saved so EA has been classifying our server as "custom" instead of "hardcore" which I think partly contributes to why no one joining our server.
I don't know why I thought I would enjoy this. When you get a good game its great, but most of the time its just lame. Nothing but people sitting in random corners of buildings waiting for that one person to run by. I can put 6 hitmarkers into a guy with my gun, but he turns around and two shots and I'm dead. Suppressed assault rifles killing in less shots from long range than the starter sniper rifle. Bleh.
When it's good it's good. Otherwise its frustrating as hell.
life gets much better when you get the sv98. trust me
That's why you stick to mowing everyone down from the comfort of a helicopter.Quote:

Honestly, I don't enjoy the game as much as I was hoping I would. Battlefield 2 is like my all time favorite battlefield game, and possibly my favorite shooter, but I just felt kinda let down by BF3 and I can't really pinpoint why, however one thing I can say is I don't like it the overall feel to the game. I hate to say this, but it really feels like Bad Company 2.0. BC2 isn't a bad game, and I did enjoy a good amount, but it never felt like a true BF game to me. Now with BF3, it kinda feels like they took BC2 and threw on the large landscapes from BF2 and called it good. And yes, I know I simplified things quite a bit by just saying they increased map size, but that's what it feels like to me in. As a successor to BF3, I don't think it's that great, but as itself, I guess it's not that bad. Hopefully Karkand and some of the other older BF2 maps they bring over will make me want to play more, but until then...... meh
yea battlefield 2/3 helicopters fly more like airplanes suspended from a string then a actual helicopter.Quote:

oh if you want the absolute best MMO war simulator, check out Battleground europe, There is no larger simulator in the industry, and i've been playing for about 11 years now since the very start of it.
horrible horrible graphics, but the trade off is awesome awesome awesome gameplay and stupendous physics.
www.battlegroundeurope.com (free 14 day trial, but ill warn you...the learning curve is great, well because if you can drive a Panzer II-c in Battleground, you could probably successfully drive a PZ-II-c in reality as well)
That was probably the 1st game ever to put multiplayer airplanes in with multiplayer infantry and tanks and ATG's and trucks and ships and sappers and grenediers and blah blah.. all into the same game, on the same map, with the ability to shoot and kill each other (i've ONE TIME ONLY shot a stuka down with a rifle while we was swooping)
its probably one of the only games where every time is unique and everything shooting back at you is a person, not a computer.
did i mention the map takes 43 days to cross by foot and its a 1/2 scale map of europe with no loading screens while in the world? i think its still the largest map for a MMO ever made. but don't hold me to that these days. (little under 19,583 sq mi)
they are also soon planning to add the japanese and africa campaigns which will put the world map at over 50,000 sq miles.
Played some BF3 with the boss tonight... and we got spanked. lol Squad DM is not our forte I think, OvRiDe :D Plus I am waaay rusty, damn elder scrolls games for taking up all my time lately.
LOL, I was doing just fine until you got there! JK .. For some reason I just have a hell of a time in Squad DM. I can hold my own in Team DM, but SQDM just kicks my butt. Still alot of fun either way! :D
The sad thing is you are probably right, haha that was the first time I have played that.
whats your Origin name BG? Mines same as here :)
He is in the TBCS Platoon..
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...5391304063836/
mine is same on here as well sir william :)
So I have to say origin sucks... Totally. I know its a dead horse, but really? my computer has been on and idle for 4 days and it didn't bother to try to download the 4GB patch to my ONE GAME that it has to manage? what a pile of utter crap. Hope ea gets off this horse and takes an arrow to the knee. Steam FTW...
