    To my demise when I was on the roof I forgot to put a tug down and you ripped me a new one with a knife lol

    Everyone bar the people on my time felt the wrath of my knife...

    Any chance you ***** can run HC - no map B2k or the original maps on rush or conquest.

    I'm feeling a need to get my rape on. [Anytime after six-ish]


    Hardcore isnt played anymore for the most part.


    The server will just empty and nobody will join so it stays on softcore tbh.

    Try softcore with a weapon other than a sniper and you'll have a great laugh to be honest.

    Takes a bit of getting used to but its worth it.

    I have, I quite like the G36, that said, if I wanted to play close combat I would fire in COD.

    You haven't tried it until you have at least 1 service star in another class other than recon.

    You could always bring a soflam and light up targets for us playing the objective.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,133 ✭✭✭GottaGetGatt


    Recon is a fairly worthless class on the new maps tbh .A guy in the 3rd seat of the tank would be just as effective.

    You do realise an M16 is good up to 400-500 metres?

    The game doesn't hold my attention like BFBC2 did or either black ops (before the removal of HCTF). The only thing that would lure me back is HC on any game type with people I know. Im not fussed or scores or kills. COD I'm all about run and gun and in bf3 I like to camp it out, nothing wrong with it I can keep enemies off an objective call out positions or remove other recons, thats just how I play.

    In softcore I find some people are hitting targets only possible with a rifle which often leaves my 2 hits to kill unless its a headshot leaving me outgunned over burst fire.of a supposedly mid range weapon.

    So for me, softcore is a no no.

    Sure if you were good enough you'd be getting a headshot every time anyway :D

    The age old argument, alas I won't be sucked into a troll-war.

    I'm a fairly decent shot, my fortee however is with COD, I'm much better at it than BF3. Just pointing out that BF3 is a sham of a game compared to it previous installments, so if I'm to play this pile of **** I'll at least play it how I like it, hardcore.

    The sniping was alot better on BC2. Two good snipers could win a game of rush by taking up positions looking over the m-comms but the map designs on BF3 pretty much scrapped that and there are very few maps with good spots to defend the objective on rush in BF3 so that basically renders the recon class completely useless, with the exception of the spawn beacon.

    Using nothing but the recon class and the m98b?.Im sorry but you dont have the right to call it a sham of a game.

    Back down before i send a TV missile down your scope:cool:

    Although in saying that if,i did nothing but the same thing over and over again in every game i joined.Then i'd probably call the game a sham too.

    For what?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,885 ✭✭✭SherlockWatson


    Its one thing to say you don't like it, that's fair enough, but that's because you're not good at the game, not that the game isn't good.


    I mean you can't even say you've played bf3 if you've less than 200 kills with all weapons bar a sniper/pistol.

    He's got the most headshots in my friend leaderboards which includes most of the clan.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 586 ✭✭✭mlindsay215


    I don't like it because its not like previous installments. Sales wise it did plenty worse than blops 1 and 2. I'm plenty good at COD, probably ranked highest in every game-mode compared to those in the clan and I still think its piss poor.

    So just because I'm not good at it doesn't mean that's why I don't like it. I could say equally you are as good at COD as I was at battlefield yet you seemed to enjoy it plenty.

    Also we can all pull out stats from our asses Ath. I think I have the top accuracy in the clan admittedly to using sniper rifles, but everyones got their own style of play. I've sniped in any BF installment I've played, it's just what I prefer.

    You could say that bit you'd be talking out your japs eye.


    Your only good at COD due to your connection, you hipfire every kill which takes no skill.

    Sorry but maybe if you learned to ADS you may enjoy a game that takes skill.

    Tone down the competitiveness and try have a bit of craic. The game is still frustrating at the best of times but CTF is a great mode, the new maps are spot on and suit everyone from bus wookies to suicide bombers.
    Just avoid the original choke point maps and its fairly enjoyable, ill only play karkand and end game anyway


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 586 ✭✭✭mlindsay215


    DOC - images-7.jpg

    Why you mad bro? I think that's a fairly loose statement at best, "Only good because of my connection?" I guess that's why I was decent at BlOps1 as well.

    WJ - The craic is 90, slekkid put downs don't bother me. I like CTF, I enjoyed the new maps even as a sniper I felt they accommodated the class very well.

    Theres no real ADS on Counterstrike (unless you are using specific weapons) and that is considered one of the most if not the most skillful FPS


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,401 ✭✭✭Royal Irish


    GottaGetGatt is the best player in the clan. He once took down a chopper with his knife. He once ran at a tank leaving the enemy spawn and it retreated back into its spawn and the driver then left the server. He doesn't teabag enemies one by one. He does it squad by squad. The stats don't lie.

    Was there even an ADS shooter out at the time of counterstrike?

    no the COD franchise was grown off the original counterstrike imo. But nowadays there is no real ADS in the latest CS (Global Offensive) and it still leagues ahead of every other FPS in terms of skill. (I like all FPS games btw as I know the above makes me sound like a CS fanboy)

    I never said it was the most skillful, just that it takes skill, have never played CS but I have seen a guy called AthboyAce87's videos and it makes it look like good fun, you should check him out.

    Also a buddy of mine has convinced me to start PC gaming so I'll check the game out.

    haters-gonna-hate18.jpg

    You do realise you're the one posting on a BF3 thread hating on BF3? Choosing that picture is quite stupid and ironic.


    Also, considering your clear dislike of BF3, it really does suggest an ulterior motive for you posting here a lot recently despite;

    (a)Having your own forum to arrange games with your clan members.

    (b) Not even liking the game.


    Considering you bumped the thread after Royals sig was deleted, and that you only started posting here after me royal and Kev did (excluding one post in the battlefield forum in 6 months), Its not entirely difficult to see what your intentions are.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 586 ✭✭✭mlindsay215


    I fail to see where your comming from. I posted that picture as a few appear to have an issue with my style of play therefore those that clearly disagree with it are free to hate away it's hardly my fault they detest being killed by a camping sniper. What can I say, I aim to displease.

    As for ab ulterior motive I think you need to wind down from the conspiracy therioes I've been postinf on boards long before you albeit not frequently. Any post I've made in this thread has generally been constructive, yes we have our own site but I am free to post where and when I wish.

    Problem?

    Deal with it.

    I do dislike the game but that doesn't mean I wont play it. I'll play what the majority plays and my opinion or insight to the game matters no less than anyone else's contrary to what you might think.

    So heres an idea DOC, I'll contribute, how and when I like and you attempt the impossible, ignore me. It can't be that hard right?

    On topic however, lets not get bogged down in bull****. Hip firing in COD takes no skill at all. However those with some degree of skill and better reactions often prove to be the better pplayer battlefield 3 does take more skill however in softcore, for me, its not skill that seperates thenplayers but who has the best layout, for example a sniper should easily one hit kill from the waist up, I mean its simple logisitics, yet if I shoot someone first, in core, with a rifle, they sustain heavy damage, yet are still able to shoot me from 400m+ and because of the reload time per shot they manage to kill me before I can get a shot off.

    We could sit and argue the core/hardcore thing all morning, but the short and sweet is that core just isn't for me. I won't play it on any game so its not about the weapons just pure and simple personal preference.

    Incorrect.

    It appears then that I completely misinterpreted this post

    I'm not sure you understand the concept of a discussion board there chief, it's for, ummmm... discussions.

    On topic however, lets not get bogged down in bull****. Hip firing in COD takes no skill at all.

    I'm not sure you understand the term "On topic" either, discussing the skill level of a COD player is not exactly on topic for the Xbox Battlefield servers thread, also, as a person who almost completely hip fires, are you saying you're not skillful?
    However those with some degree of skill and better reactions often prove to be the better pplayer battlefield 3 does take more skill however in softcore, for me, its not skill that seperates thenplayers but who has the best layout, for example a sniper should easily one hit kill from the waist up, I mean its simple logisitics, yet if I shoot someone first, in core, with a rifle, they sustain heavy damage, yet are still able to shoot me from 400m+ and because of the reload time per shot they manage to kill me before I can get a shot off.


    You see, it is skill that separates the player there, a skillful sniper would either get a headshot, or not take the shot in the first place.

    And if we're going down the logistics road, an assault rifle bullet to the head should be a one hit kill, you should only have one life, and you wouldn't get ammo out of a little magical box on the ground, nor would you be able to revive someone who's been shot full of bullets, with paddles (as a murse, you should know that's true).

    We could sit and argue the core/hardcore thing all morning, but the short and sweet is that core just isn't for me. I won't play it on any game so its not about the weapons just pure and simple personal preference.

    We weren't arguing the core/hardcore thing, all I said was nobody played it anymore, I never said either was better, so dunno where your getting that from.



    P.S, did you make that post from a rocking chair? There's a fúck ton of extra letters in there all over the place.

    Do you remember the game on Nebadanananan flats the other day when I got 5 head shots from distance in quick succession with only 5 shots fired, and one of those victims was you? That there is skillful sniping.

    My streak was then brought to an end by some skillful chopper piloting by you :(

    The shock I had when I turned around to see what all that racket was only to see the nose of a chopper right in front of me then splat, road killed.

    Jesus that guy is seriously quick at aiming and picking people off. Plus his position in parts was first class!! Would love to be able to play the game like that :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,054 ✭✭✭NORTH1


    A PC, mouse and keyboard is a big help. He had a lovely seven head shot streak going followed by a miss, then an eighth head shot. Unlike most sniper videos this guy seems to spend a lot of time right up in the action. Nice video.

    Off to google to do a quick search :)

    its a double edged sword. theres no aim assist which means shooting is a lot harder. on the upside when you get good you will always be better with a mouse and keyboard

    Plus a sad fact of the matter is when someone is cracking off headshots like that on the PC more often than not its a hack

    Stuck this on the server there this evening.

    There's not always an IRL server running but there's a group of us who would always be playing on the same servers!

    Add DOC09UNAM and if ya see me on playing BF feel free to join the party and the game!

    No it was running for a months and wasn't getting used so i stopped leasing it.

    I also went back to PS3 because of the whole xbox one crap and intend to get a BF3/BF4 PS3/PS4 Irish server running for Irish Gamers.

    I set up a poll http://www.irishgamers.ie/topic/8669-bf3bf4-irish-ps3ps4-server-poll/ which you can show your interest if you think it's a good idea.

    Stay frosty people :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,188 ✭✭✭circadian


    Cool, thanks!

    I'll probably be giving next gen a miss for a while, probably move to PC gaming for the meantime. Hopefully get some servers there :D
