[Battlefield 3]Moaning & Bitching

cherryghost

Just thought I'd start this because I have too peeve at DeKrieg. Three defuses in 3 minutes on Caspian Border Rush.

I'll get my revenge Krieg! I'm onto you. :mad:

Shaggin mortars, i hate the feckin things!

Why does lag only work against me? I run behind a wall and suddenly appear 2-foot back in the open and a sniper hits me at that exact moment. I know that EA are doing this on purpose because they hate me!

The complete nuking of recon. It's so bad that nerf would be a step up.

2142 had a tasty unlock that would allow recon spots to stay on screen longer.
A decent rifle and that would make up for a lot.

Give the SVD/MOD11 more power and more recoil and you'd be laughing.

Wouldn really help on HC but I'd be ok with it.

Juice up the M98b I say, supposed to be crazy powerful but it's not.

I hate to say it but if they do not release a decent Rifle for the class with the dlc pack I might just trade it in as if I wanted to run and gun I'd play cod. I play this to get behind the enemy and cover whatever charges/flags my team mates have planted/captured

suck it up noob..


I think a lot of people are so used now to snipers with claymores and **** that they've forgotten how the role actually works.
I've had to adapt myself and hated it as the start but now it's spot players for my team mates , cover them as they take the flags etc and use the SOFLAM if there's a jet with guided missiles to take out tanks and other armour.
Another thing is if you've an engineer in your squad/team with classical you can also lock onto jets and choppers with the SOFLAM so the engineer can take them down with the javelin.
If you've all 4 classes within your squad you'll kick some serious áss

ComeraghBlue

I hid in a stairwell in one of the maps as there was sniper trying to take me out from long range and even though I was completely in cover he managed to kill me? Are some people able to see and shoot through walls/buildings?

Oh and get this- was playing on caspian border and using the base on the hill and EVERYTIME me or someone else got into the helicopter we were shot dead by a sniper just as we started it up.

Was quite funny seeing fellas rushing to get into and and the blades moving ever so slightly then stopping.

The fecker got me 5-6 times until I managed to fly away before he shot me and then I put a rain of rockets and killed him. If there was killstreaks in bf3 then this guy probably would have had the atomic bomb!!!

Mwahahahaha

That's what you get for ganging up on me. All the boardsies on ts were on the other team so I had to 1-up all of you

TheFairy

Honestly lads take a step back and look what a good game we have! The more whining goes on on forums the more the game will be ripped to bits by Dice trying to keep everyone happy.

The only thing that really annoys me at the moment is the spawning on a team m8 at the exact moment they die, back to main grrrr! Also if more people would stop playing to KDR and look whats going on around them teamwise the game would be a whole lot better!

iColdFusion

I think my only gripes are the spawn points for the tunnel team on Metro conquest, silencers and IR scopes being a bit too good, javelin being useless and I think one heatseeker would have been enough for planes and choppers.

Troll fail.


I'd like to see penalties brought back in for team killing/destoying own equipment. It encourages boosting that there is no penalties but you get the reward for reviving/repairing

ShadowHearth

On which server you play the most lads? I newer can bump in to you maybe you play late nights etc.

Boards.ie server is always empty

No team kill penalties for me please, I may have gotten a few for bouncing the odd chopper off something more solid than said chopper :rolleyes:

BlitzKrieg

biggest team mistake i keep repeating is shooting friendly mines when I'm in a tank with thermal vision on. they only show up as friendly on the minimap.

Krieg

Here is what every game has been like for me in the last 5 days

- Join 64 player conquest game
- Get put on **** team
- Team is only able to capture 1 flag
- Opposition captures the other 4
- My team can barely hold the flag

EVERY ****ING GAME!!!!



Oh and random death/suicide with no explanation = "bad luck"

that happens in all games.

your put onto the bad team because when you join an almost full server, its always the side thats losing that leaves first.

I have to agree with the troll BF3 is not great for me. Never can find a server with a space if I want to define my searches, give up, go into Quick match, get shot to **** for 20 minutes or so, maybe maybe get one or two kills... is this supposed to be fun? Then I got MW3, and remembered that online is actually fun and that you should actually be able to find and shoot other players. I'm not enough of a nerd to know when a feature has been nerfed in a game :pac: I just play games for fun at the end of the day. If you do start noticing when the devs have changed the shotguns strength by .25 units from BC2, I suggest you spend less time with your computer!

You have to change your approach to the game if you keep getting killed. I was crap at BC2 starting off, as I was used to Blops online.

Realised running off on your own is pointless, but sticking with your team, you can be really effective, ie Ammo, med-kits revives etc. Working as a team and winning a match by a few points is the most rewarding!

But keeping in line with the thread, yea the bad luck mystery death is a balls!

You'll have to put a lot more effort into your trolling to be even worth the three clicks to ban you.

ShadowHearth

I know I had "bad luck" death when I was killed by biulding debtors or biulding it self. Are you sure you were not near collapsing structures when that would happen?

Riamfada

I do miss the COD death cam. It would be handy to see how someone got you and what you did wrong.

I was flying a chopper in pretty much a straight line from the spawn and it just blew up. No enemy jet or heli in sight and "bad luck" appears. WTF?

Change your approach to the game, this isn't COD where you'll run around a small map on your own racking up kills with ease. Run around BF3 on your own and you'll get killed, fairly easily at that. Find a clan / 3 friends to form a squad with and play a teamwork orientated game as a team, you'll rack up plenty of points and kills.

I wouldn't waste your own time m8. Some people just hate bf3, because it's not mw3 and they hate mw3, because it did not met theyr expectations.

Those are both different games and for different play styles. I had few games of bf3 today and it was fun, but I was too tired to concentrate so it went down hill after in last game, so I went for some mw3 with spas12 **** and giggle deathmatch. Mindless fun.

Some people are just newer happy bud.

Zomg Okay

I love the realism in this game - I've never played a multiplayer game before where my character gets so stressed out that he has a heart attack and keels over!

gutted tbh

desaparecidos

Have to say I'm liking this. Like ARMA II but a million times more refined, actiony and fun.

Things to moan about would be always and forever being on the losing team, sometimes so bad that you can't even get out of your deployment area. Even if my team have a good start, they always loose in the end.

AnCapaillMor

Seriously its like 10 times in a row now that i've been yank on metro. Really need to sort the map out on conquest.

Shiminay

I had my rant about the broken menus and interfaces on another thread, so I'll reserve this for actual gameplay issues.

F2000 :mad: Especially AnCapaillMor's F2000 :mad: I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Sniping: I think being a sniper is T3H GH3Y! I really don't like playing it, I think anyone who does play as a sniper is a big girls blouse too afraid to face their enemy head on like a man. On the odd occasion I pop into Recon Class to indulge in a bit of levelling up and so on, I have to switch to the PP-2000 because despite having had stationary targets in my sights on a sniper rifle and laying down, holding my breath and trying numerous times to adjust for distance and bullet drop and all that, I have not hit a single thing. Now, tbh, I can live with this because sniping is, as I have said, for big girls blouses who're too afraid and dishonourable to face their enemy like men, but something appears to have gone sideways here.

Sniping really is brutal for me at long range.
I must have took 10 shots or more at some lad at a good distance away and adjusted every time,still couldn't get near him and he never moved so I must have been missing by a good bit.

Spunge

I've been noticing the mouse movement is kind of weird. It's not like straight up move here etc. I googled and some people said it is negative mouse acceleration hard-coded into the game.

Is it just me ??

Take the scope off the likes of the SVD for short range engagements, turns it into a very effective semi auto rifle.

Sniping is a man's game sonny ....you need to anticipate their movement, allow for bullet drop etc so only the manliest man can become a sniper...
And I'm not talking about those nooby SVD/MK11/SKS rifles either...a proper bolt action is the only job
There's no better feeling that taking out a guy miles away with a sniper rifle and watch bemusedly as he takes it completely personal and then stalks you during the game to his team's detriment. Then you shoot him again and it pisses him off bigtime
Any fool and spray and pray but sniping is an art..some can do it..the majority can't and whine about how ghey snipers are
It's even better when they're in vent with you

Properly used a sniper can be devastating to the other team.
Spot targets for your squad/team as they cap flags, shoot them in the back etc so they're engaging your team with low health etc.
Use the soflam to mark tanks/jets/choppers etc for engineers with javelin and also for pilots with guided missiles.
I absolutely guarantee you that you'll kick the enemies @ss easily

Please god do somthing with those idiotic flash lights

I put the infrared scope on the SVD and use it as a lethally powerful medium/short range rifle. People get so confused with a recon sniper charging around at close range.

Although I then discovered that doing the same thing except with the scar-h as an engineer is even more fun, plus you can blow up tanks. I do find it interesting that we have some people saying snipers are too powerful, and others saying the class is crippled. Methinks it is perhaps not the class that is to blame.

up close with an svd it's grand, if you were actually to go sniping with a bolt action it's crippled.

I can't snipe for **** in this game at long range.I never had any problems with it in BC2.

I'm on ps3 by the way so maybe it is different on pc/xbox.

ShadowHearth

I fecking hate mortar pricks...

Played on senna crossing infantry only. Fecking bastard was sitting in his own base and pew pew pew us all game! He got me 5-0 times FFs!!! I couldn't even get close to bastard!

TheDoc

Mortars are outragous and need a nerf, longer cooldown or be removed, no skill, ludicrous.

Alot of weapons and classes need balance too. i'm confident that it will, this isnt MW3, Dice balance their games.

But at the moment there is literally no reason to play Assault. Engineer weapons are as powerful as assault plus they have rockets.


Rockets doing less dmg to players, and engi weapons doing less dmg would be a big bonus for me.

Might not be realistic, but its a game, and engineer is a specialised support class and should be the beefcake of a FPS game.

Arawn

Assault players revive team mates...thats the reson to play as one.

Mortars are not really as powerful as you seem to believe.

They can be excellent from time to time depending on the situation, but, to get a kill you need to almost hit right on top of the enemy player, splash damage isn't too extreme at all.
