You Ever Gotten Your Ass Kicked More Online Than In Battlefield 3?

playing this on pc and am getting ****ing destroyed...i'm a console guy usually, but the level on competition on here is brutal; these guys don't mess around. half the time i don't even know where death is coming from. it can be frustrating, but i don't think i've ever got my ass kicked so bad in a game, yet came back for more.

First week I was absolute crap, took me a while to get decent.

Welcome to the actual gaming world.

Yes, i've seen much worse then BF3. CS 1.6 remains legendary in getting asses kicked, couldn't even get a single kill for quite some rounds.

Well it's not easy. There are quite a few BF veterans and rather hardcore BF3 players. I saw one at max rank already.
And with the weapons and vehicles it matters a lot whether you got some upgrades unlocked.
So the first bit is extra rough.

^^Unreal Tournament was a worse experience for me than CS.

PC games tend to be highly competitive. Not to mention the mouse is brutal for FPS ;)

Be patient, creep around, make sure you always have cover - you will start dominating.

I have had some problems but I'm over 1. K/D most games now

I destroy tanks in this game. and mow down my foes. All shall fear me :P

no one cares about K/D in BF

Its called CSS.

EDIT: Or if you want extreme, CS 1.6

I did pretty dam well in the Beta. 1.5 KDR, 2.7 W/L

The most skill-driven FPS is Counter Strike...
.
Concerning Battlefield, I've always found them boring.

I own all at BF3 online! Apart from that one hacker last night :( Although I was 2nd best that time. :P

yes every MP game I play

Nothing will compare to how bad I get my ass kicked in Quake Live/CSS :(

I think I was doing pretty well in BF3 mp on the PC actually... for someone who rarely plays competitive MP (FPSs) these days.Most of the time I've had positive K/D ratio (lv 10 atm).

Still tho, I do have well over 10 years of expiriance with FPSs on the keyboard and mouse.I can imagine console exclusive gamers having a lot of troble with K&M.Its so different then a controller.

Palying Uncharted 3 atm and just reminded myself how inaccurate and inprecise the controller is.K&M all the way if you get used to it (for shooters).

PS. Also I do you razer K&M with only 1ms lag and a monitor with 2 ms lag.That sure helps. If you use laggy Monitor/TV it can really hurt you in these games.

Quake and TFC probably had the toughest communities. Guilty Gear was the same, just not online.

Thing is that BF3 or COD or even the original Counterstrike are not niche communities like the ones above. They have large communities and therefore plenty of terrible players.

Pfft, I am usually among the top players ;). It is not uncommon for me to receive an MVP medal...just saying lol.

Its been awful. I never had this much of a learning curve for a video game before.

Lol go play quake and you'll get destroyed even worse.

I've been getting my ass handed to me quite regularly in BF3. Even though I'm no pro I do still hold my own on occasion, it kind of depends on the map and the group I'm playing with and against. I remember it being much worse in CS:S, now that game was rough...

I do fairly decently at it. Both my win/lose and kill/death are above 1.25 and my SPM is about 385. Not great but not bad either.

This. 32--player matches comprise probably 90% of the matches I've played. 64 players seems too much for the size of the maps.

Nah, Battlefield 3 isn't that tough. As others have mentioned if you really want competative multiplayer then Counter-Strike 1.6 is where its at.

[QUOTE="Am_Confucius"][QUOTE="silversix_"]Same here. Mainly console guy who is just getting into pc gaming and i did got destroyed the first 4 days of playing. It pisses me off so much because i was pretty good in BC2 but on 360 so going on pc may improve your accuracy but rusty as hell for the rest... Getting better but still get ****d 1/4 od the time. Love the game and i will be playing this for years so i'm not really worried. Skillz will come by themselves :)

W/L is all that really matters in BF. K/D is for CoD kids that are on BF3 until that expansion called MW3 is released for their MW2.silversix_

On another note, does anyone else feel like kills in Battlefield 3 (or pretty much any military shooter) feel unsatisfying? I mean almost every time you're behind them, you win the fight. Compare that to a game like quake where you can whip around and beat them, it just feels so much better when you kill someone.

Counter Strike. I feel like most CS players only play that game.

A lot of players on PC tend to customize settings and things just perfect for competition. Keeping display where they can have at least 60fps, using a nice keyboard with keys mapped just where they like, and a mouse with a high DPI and instant response time for speed and accuracy. Some players even connect a joystick or controller for switching to aircraft.
