You've been playing to much battlefield when...

AnCapaillMor

You send the kids to bed by looking in the general direction of their room and mimic pressing Q.

When driving you regularly check your sat nav looking out for mines or awesome trying to C4 your car.

You phone beeps and you imediately jump out of the car thinking someone has a solfam\citv lock on you.

Any bit of glare has you diving to the ground.

You claim to be so drunk that you cannot walk and can only crawl when in actually fact you're trying not to set off any claymores.

MR DAZ

Guilty as charged!

You see somebody in the window of the office across the road and instantly think to scope!

You see a bright glint in the distance and instantly thing "SNIPER"

5uspect

Going to work on the tube and wondering should I use RPG or m320..

5dollakarl

When you see a helicopter hovering you think, noob, and reach for a stinger

PHEW, I dont feel as bad now. I only have 60 hours un under 2 weeks. (since 27th)

Joeface

when someone annoys you at work and you attempt to take their tags .....in real life they don't find the animation quiet so funny .

Cormic

You keep seeing those four little scope lines when walking anywhere.

iColdFusion

When walking down the street you randomly turn around. Just in case.

You only wear Spec Ops black.

When stopped at traffic lights you leave the car in reverse, C4 ninjas beware.

You try to SOFLAM that tailgater with your rear fog light.

You could totally bounce a frag around that corner and down those stairs.

When stuck in traffic you wonder if this counts towards your vehicle or stationary medals.

You've typed MAV into ebay.

You always leave room in your backpack for some C4 and a G18 supp.

You always take the flanking route instead of that long narrow corridor.

You've typed T-UGS into the app store.

Elevators are for n00bs.

MR DAZ

You spend your time in the market ... hiding behind crates :-)

5uspect

Q...Q....Q

jyou start every sentence with j.

i124Q

LoL you too :P

EIREHotspur

....you go prone for 8 hours in bed after a session as a sniper.
....you suddenly think your slr lens is a stinger missle.
....when you throw your backpack down after a long day you say...."heres your ammo"

Aimhere

You drop a claymore behind you as you enter a room
You think blowing up a side of a building to get out is a good idea
Staying next to a empty parking space hopeing a IFV will appear
Shouting cover me as you dash across the street

da_hambo

Whenever you see a tall building in the movies or in real life, you're visually scanning the smoothest side . . . So you can mav up it!

patethic. Hopefully take out of the game with the next patch, it's so stupid

dreamers75

In a meeting with a potential customer and your phone rings with the BF3 ringtone and the customer nods approvingly

SeantheMan

- Friend gets in the passenger seat of car , stops engine
"Have you got Thermal vision ?"
"...No..?!? "
"Get out !"

- In club with Friend
"I can't find you, where are ye ?"
"PRESS M FOR MAP !!!"

whats pathetic? If you dont like them snipers, morter the sh$t out of them! I only unlocked the mav last week and I like it. I also like the easy kill when you morter those on the tall buildings.give and take my friend.

SeantheMan

Congrats on liking the MAV, and enjoying being a sniper.
But I'm sure that's not what it's intended for and is wholly unrealistic to float on the thing to 200ft so as to access areas that generally are unaccessible in standard play.
To me it's glitching.
On PC you get kicked off a lot of servers for such play

Zomg Okay

SeantheMan wrote: »

That's a stupid argument... nothing in Battlefield is completely realistic and nothing ever will be. If it was, you'd be sat on the runway for half an hour doing pre-flight checks with choppers and jets. When you reloaded, the leftover rounds from two magazines wouldn't magically combine to make one full magazine. There isn't a Sergeant roaring abuse at you because you aren't cleaning your rifle between games. :pac:

I could go on and on but the point stands that you aren't going to get much realism in gaming - that's boring. If I wanted realism, I'd be in a recruitment centre, not my living room.

5uspect

It's clearly an exploit. Jets are for flying in, you can take a passenger on the back. MAVs aren't in any sense meant to be magic carpet rides to headshotland.

I never said it wasn't an exploit. :rolleyes: I said you can't argue unrealistic when you're playing a video game.

DapperGent

I dunno if something breaks your immersion (and something as silly as MAV riding does for me anyway) then it can make the whole thing less fun.

iColdFusion

I don't really mind the whole MAV riding business as most snipers on 360 are useless plus its usually pretty easy to counter-snipe them should the need arise.
However having a co-ordinated squad use said sniper as a spawn point can be a complete pain in the ass :mad:

AnCapaillMor

Put a soflam up there with him and the enemies vehicles are pretty much locked down. Played oman the other night with 3 soflam up on top the big building on E and we got hammered, get in a vehicle and you were javelin'd straight away.

As opposed to respawning?
It's a game, things regarded as "exploits" evolve into widely accepted mechanics in online games all the time. It's how online games like this stay fresh.

Besides, when was the last time you saw someone use MAV riding to dominate?
They get to a vantage point where they can easily be shot down once seen and get maybe 3 or 4 kills all round.

dreamers75

When someone gets shot in the park outside you think its the sounds from the game. Until your wife tells you the next day, someone was shot in the park last night

SpannerMonkey

Was sitting at a set of traffic lights tonight , there was no traffic around me and all was quiet and suddenly for an instant a thought popped into my head

"Holy **** it's too quiet and I've been sitting still for too long , I'm gonna be C4'd by awesome "

I really need take a break from this game

SeantheMan

You've been playing too much battlefield when... "you move house and have no interent for 2 weeks and go to bed at 10.30pm as opposed to 1am because you realise Battlefieldand PC gaming without INET is crap"

Jaysus and there was me thinking you had been murdered or something :P you just disappeared off the face of the earth
I know what you mean the odd time I go home to parents for the night I'm lost with what to do for the night without broadband . Usually head out on the piss which i suppose is a decent second

SeantheMan

Hahah, yeah..still alive...trying to hang in there.
Don't even have RTE in the gaff yet.
Neighbours won't know what happened when I get back online next week and start screaming the place down in fury :P

antodeco

Driving earlier and saw a helicopter in the air in the distance. Was thinking, would a smaw reach from where I was!

stephendevlin

You jump when the bin lorry passes the house cos it sounds like a TANK

4200fps

Flying around in the egg all night blowing everything up/stealing enemy choppers and nothing will take me down,not even a guided rocket kills clocking over 1250:cool:
