I mean, I just got it and the SP is so bad and a black ops rip off

The MP is a camp fest, I played rush and TDM

No leaning still?

Reg is still kinda iffy

Lacks the cooolness of BF2

Oh and did I mention it's a camp fest? Like in CSS camping while it kindove works depending on the situation won't let you win. Quake obviously it won't work, you won't have control of the map.

So why you guys play this? Much better games like CSS, CS, Quake Live are there. And well obviously BF2.

C4 + Tanks + Unsuspecting individuals = fun, fun. IMO the only way to go with BF3 is to play Conquest Large on Caspian, Kharg, Canals and Firestorm 32 or 64 players. 32 is the sweet spot for me but 64 players is also really fun. The design of the rush maps sucks tbh, BFBC2 had great maps for Rush IMO. And TDM well its Deathmatch in battlefield not exactly what it was designed for but its ok to run around for a quick game and get some of the unlocks for the guns. Difficult but find a good squad that PTFO and Battlefield becomes a whole other game.

Conquest is fun because it's huge maps with a lot of stuff happening and that makes it feel like a war zone (not that I've experienced one, but you know what I mean). There's air vehicles and many different kinds of gameplay (jet dogfighting, tanks, infantry combat...). Also, you can prone and stay hidden from a tank's view and shoot its rear when it passes by. :D

I don't. Waiting for B2K to give it another try.

I wish they'd port some BC2 maps too.

It's just good old fashioned fun! And quite satisfying,like when you place M15 mines before a tank kills you and then the said tank rolls over your laid mines and booom! hehhe! lovely stuff!

I personally like it much more than CS/S. The great audio/visuals make it really immersive, some of the maps are great, and it allows for a good variety of play styles.

Try conquest, its the best mode in this game.

It certainly has its issues, but overall its a great multiplayer shooter.

You only played rush and team deathmatch in BF game... serious? go try conquest..

I like BF3 because it has amazing sound, great graphics, Fantastic controls, improved animations/movement, the multiplayer has a very high fun factor and most of the level design in multiplayer is great (minus one level).

The campaign is MEH, I will agree with you on that, but the multiplayer is hte best multiplayer shooter since TF2 imo.

I have never boguht a BF game for campaign so that does not bother me much to be honest.

IMO the only decent game mode in BF3 is conquest. The rest aren't all the fun. Conquest is real the only way I spend my time in BF.

I haven't played with the new patch installed, but I agree that it has it's problems. There is no flashlight in the world that will completely blind me in full sunlight DICE.. Oo... And how can a game that claims to be realistic allow people to run away after being shot in the head with a sniper rifle?? I'll make my final verdict after the new patch...

While I didn't find BF3 (beta) much fun either, we get it; you only like Quake. Must every post of yours be about Quake?

You're a competitive gamer, and are quite skilled in general as your Sonic Generation videos have shown, but that doesn't mean everyone is the same. In Battlefield 3 there are a lot of fun tactics to use like mortars + MAVs with your squad on VOIP, two-manning vehicles with a good friend, C4 rigging jeeps to blow up tanks, and well, if you get good at flanking you can have fun with shotguns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zesdXj0oLQQ&hd=1 Or with knifing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKKUsjxwH90&hd=1 Or with repair tooling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aaa6yuIx3E&hd=1 BF3 does a good job of giving players options for how they can go about playing the game and enjoy doing it even if they're not using the most efficient tactics.

In terms of maps, Caspian Border > Kharg Island > Noshahr Canals > Damavand Peak > Operation Firestorm > Operation Metro > Seine Crossing > Tehran Highway > Grand Bazaar.

That was directed at the people saying which maps suck and which are good.

Because it's not a campfest. It requires skill and strategy(most of the time). It has attack helicopters, tanks and jets. And I'm awesome at it?

But that assumes you get in the jets. Usually half team waiting outside the jet.

I don't use jets. I wait for the helicopter, and 8/10 times I get it. If I don't get it I just go and do something else.

I've never even seen that.....because jets are a spawn point, waiting outside a jet spawn is a waste of time because somebody will spawn inside it.

I am still convinced QL is way better, new video just uploaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLJBd0-xV3c :)

I played normal mode and like while it's better, still pretty campsy and getting exploded while driving car simulator. AT mine hell. Still I can see the apeal if you got a group of friends all in one squad throwing c4 at people, sounds like fun BF2. I just don't think without friends it's very fun.

I don't play TDM and rush. I play on a server that uses Teamsync VOIP through Teamspeak and thus, I get my teamwork goodness :) Something that is extremely rare in modern shooters.

Why? Because the conquest games are still the good old battlefield nostalgia to me. Biggest problem for me though is the maps. They aren't as big as the ones we had on BF2 but the B2K maps look huge, so faith is restored in humanity.

Why do we like it? Because its a good game. People's complaints are usually wafer thin and are either down to petty things or them sucking at it. The only people I feel for are the ones who the game just doesn't work for like always crashing and never finsing games

Am_Confucius

Did you even see the video I posted above? 20x more thinking at least. Also how is it not a camp fest? You can just camp and get a bunch of kills by sitting in a bush or building. Alternatively spam at mines everywhere, stuff like that.

Also I did not really come to debate QL/Q3A/CPMA/RA3 vs BF3. I just wanted to ask why its fun compared to like a better game BF2 is available or CSS. I mean you could easily say BF2 has the same issues, I am just saying BF2 is the better version even though it has the same problems.

Does BF3 let you spam ENEMY BOAT SPOTTED on karkland? I didn't think so.

Karkland comes out in a week or two, find out then.

1st off, It is Karkand not Karkland. Not that it matters, but I am a fan of anything Battlefield so that stuff gets to me. And how the hell is anyone playing BF games and not playing conquest? That is what the whole MP and maps are based upon. Also, BF2 had it's share of flaws. Spamming Enemy boat spotted on a landlocked map was the least of them. But BF2 has patch after patch to fix the MP and it took a long time to get it close to right. Anyone remember being able to drop supply crates and buggies on the enemy for a kill when playing as commander? As for BF3, yea the game is not BF2. I do not get the same "feeling" I used to get when playing BF2. The only time I get that feeling is when flying a jet and owning everyone in sight like I still do :) Matter of fact, the jets feel even better now than before. But BF3 will be refined and near perfect soon enough. It took BF2 until patch 1.41 before it was taken care of. As for you JW, it will never be good enough for you until it is Quake or Quake like, which it will never be. It is Battlefield, and yes people love it and it is awesome.

Why should it be like another game. Its fine how it is. TDM doesn't work in BF anyway. They just added it to keep the CoD crowd happy.I for one find no fun to be had in TDM in BF3. The games mechanics aren't built for it

The detail, the scope, the amount of things that happen, and of course - the manshoots. Shame it's a whole lot dumber in terms of team work, tactics and strategy compared to BF2 and 2142, there's just zero tools to do so; really feels like 'my first Call of Battlefield'.

I agree with this, with the 15 or so conquest matches I have played so far, I rarely see people on squad chat, though that isn't the game itself to blame for that obviously. Also the map feels pretty convuluted, like there is too much not important stuff on the huds and stuff and way too big stuff that is obvious.

Nah, it is the games fault tbh. There's zero tools there for squad communication and teamwork. You can only voice talk in an out of game party - which means you're not going to be interacting with the rest of your team. If not, then you have your Q contextual commands, which are janky and ignorable at best for your squad - otherwise you have text chat, which no one pays attention to - because well, it's little text. Compared to BF2 for instance, it's an utter joke, and extremely disappointing. There's just no tools for team coordination compared to those games, there's no camaraderie; it's literally a rabble of men with guns all doing their own thing, with no real teamwork, other than following general objectives and shooting dudes. In short, wow it's bad, and that's DICE's fault to be honest, the previous games did a good job building it up from 1942, and now it has not only been bought back, but been made worse - then a game released in 2002. Ugh. And yeah, there's some horrible maps. A good deal of 64 player conquest maps just don't work, and examples like Metro are quite frankly astounding that it's actually there. HUD has its issues as well. Really is an inconsistent and at the moment, pretty shallow game. Shame because the combat is damn good, and the detail and action is grand.

^^great post, you just summed up the entire game's multiplayer, and its relation to previous BF's.

I have seen some instances of 'organic' teamwork where players see what each other are doing and support them, but this is haphazard compared to the coordination in previous BF games.

I still have a lot of fun with elaborate lone-wolf manouvering, which can actually be very effective, such as back capping with a humvee or van where you jump into the gunner seat and stay totally still while capping the point so that if an enemy spawns and starts looking around they think the vehicle is empty then you shoot them before they can react.

I've also played in a squad with friends using voice chat and such, and its amazing how a single coordinated squad can turn the tide of battle. If this level of teamwork was present by default, this game would be so much more interesting.

Did the final product turn out better than the Operation Metro beta, which i found to be a horrid campfest among other things?

No its far more polished. It has its problems sure but its nowhere near as glitchy and messed up as the beta was. Also its a lot more fun

^^great post, you just summed up the entire game's multiplayer, and its relation to previous BF's.

I have seen some instances of 'organic' teamwork where players see what each other are doing and support them, but this is haphazard compared to the coordination in previous BF games.

I still have a lot of fun with elaborate lone-wolf manouvering, which can actually be very effective, such as back capping with a humvee or van where you jump into the gunner seat and stay totally still while capping the point so that if an enemy spawns and starts looking around they think the vehicle is empty then you shoot them before they can react.

I've also played in a squad with friends using voice chat and such, and its amazing how a single coordinated squad can turn the tide of battle. If this level of teamwork was present by default, this game would be so much more interesting.

Yeah it is fun being a lone wolf in BF3, and I imagine being in a squad like that could be great, but it really speaks volumes of the lack of teamplay and how it affects the gameplay. Having squads actually making an impact was vital in previous two games; it was all about units being mobile groups actually tackling objectives.

In the grand scheme of things everything in BF3 is just messy, and it really boils down to just hoping your team is likeminded and knows what they could doing - but that's all solitary thinking, or a few players communicating amoungst themselves. There's no commander to tie it together or chain of command to allocate roles.

It's all very empty and hollow; it's not really like a 'battlefield' at all in these respects. Which is why I'm looking forward to Planetside 2, the first did the whole chain of command thing outstandingly.
