BF3 Discussion - 8.5 on GS Keep it Here

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"]

im proboly late to the party here but I saw a vid called shotgun sniper. Are they going to fix that?

seanmcloughlin

Run around with a shotgun and you will realise you can't hit anything and kill it from more than a few feet away. Shotguns got hugely nerfed for BF3 and rightly so

That's what I mean. In BC2 they were deadly from halfway across the map. In BF3 they are short range and lethal like they should be. They were unbalanced before. An 870 on Metro is easy win :P

I beat the campaign last night ... Um, I liked it more than MW3s *shrugs*

W1NGMAN-

I finished the SP last night. I'm definately disappointed. The tank/jet missions weren't fun at all to me and overall I just didn't feel all that immersed. Eventhough it was short, I still remember how intense the MW2 SP was the whole way through for me. Even Black Ops was more intense in my opinion. I can't really put my finger on what I didn't like, but overall I just didn't feel like I was a lot of fun playing through it.

I have played over 10 games and no crashes with these new drivers...

With slug rounds there is nothing unrealistic about sniper shotgun.

I'm getting really annoyed at this game. Seens like it is the will of the gods that I get all of the sudden insane amounts of rubberbanding. It either lags or crashes.

[QUOTE="Icarian"]

[QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"] It was the same in BC2, and trust me, those vids take it way over the top. It is in no way a good strategy to get kills at all, the videos have just fired a million shots and only played the ones that got kills. Although yeah it is quite unrealistic obviously....mitu123

Effective range of a slug round is over 100 meters (over 330 feet). I've watched those videos and I haven't seen them shooting farther than that.

Anyone else love getting kills with the little sniper drone? So far the most number of kills I've gotten with them is 2 in a match. I just love f***ing with players while I try to run them over with it. :lol:

RAGE!!

Wrote out some things but Glitchspot lost it!

Very briefly

1) I like shotgun sniping

2) Engineer needs serious nerf in either rocket damage/amount carried and/or, most importantly, damage of carbine weapons. All main Engineer weapons need to be nerfed because right now it's a master of all trades

3) IRNV needs a nerf badly. Way too nooby

My problem is how effective they are against infantry when the Engineer ****ought to be out****d when it comes to infantry battle

fun/balance >>>> realism

I will hold my judgement till i get to try them out, but my hype for the B2K DLC is pretty much dead at this point.

I`m also extremely annoyed by the fact that Dice decided to avoid the PC-centric questions, and the ones that they did bother to answer were vague as ****.

Consoles also have a 5 flags mode according to the live stream.Dante2710

I've been playing more matches on the latest drivers and I haven't even crashed.

Must be my 460s or something.

This game still needs VOIP. When are they going to bring it?

BF3 hit detection problems.

Me too. And the ones where you go from 100% to 0% instantly are still there along with shooting through walls or getting killed in cover. Very annoying

DICE can never perfect this, and it doesn't make any damn sense, 2012 will be the 10th year since BF1942, and they can't get something like this right when many games like Halo, Killzone, Resistance, Team Fortress and more do.

This could be explained by bullet penetration.

The_Capitalist

A DICE employee said they would not bring VOIP into the game because "they" were "satisfied" with VOIP in Battlelog only. :|

BF3 is getting a huge update/patch, read this everyone:

mitu123

This could be explained by bullet penetration.

While true that in that video's situation bullet wouldn't probably go through solid steel dumpster, but normal walls do break under fire. Assault rifle or machine gun bullet can penetrate most normal walls. Even solid steel could be penetrated with heavy enough armor piercing round with good velocity. Generally 1 inch of solid steel is enough to stop anything less than an anti tank weapon.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="Ace6301"] If you slow down any online FPS (or really any online game) these sort of things become pretty obvious. It's still crappy to deal with but for the most part I think BF3 is probably one of the better games when it comes to crap like that. Certainly better than BFBC2 and Blops at least.Ace6301

Halo is the king of it.
