@OverlordGunnar The air vehincles take some work I agree, but what platform are you playing on? On the consoles the legacy stick layout seems to be the easiest for choppers but then once you get a kill in it you have 6 Stinger missles coming your way lol. I end up playing engineer the most too, that and support, using mortars in Rush mode is too hard to resist.
@jasonzilla11 It's related to Battlefield and I'm expressing my opinion, is that illegal? The lag is awful and there is no official HC mode, the quickmatch issues are currently being fixed. No, GS can't do anything about it but posting it on Battlefield hasen't done any good either as did posting anything else on other game's sites did. Look at the majority of these comments, they have nothing to do with a game guide either but I don't see you replying to them. Go sit in the corner.
I could care less about all of this I just want them to fix the lag problems and issues with the quickmatch. Also, why is there not an official hardcore game mode like in BC2? There are ranked hardcore servers but they are a pain to get in andthey vary in settings. Hardcore with a minimap is not hardcore.
oflow@ I don't know, there is alot of hype but I can't see BF3 having glitches so bad that it will cause players to stop playing like the Care Package glitch in MW2 did. From BF2 to BFBC2 I haven't seen many glitches, in fact I remember seeing very few (Rush mode Cold War Map and a few other maps where attackers could fuse the objective through the walls of a house), but nothing like COD has.
@crazimax I am the complete opposite. I hate killcams and thats why I only play hardcore mode. If you are so prone to not use a headset and listen and pay very close attention to your surroundings why are you playing softcore? The headset is iffy. I've played with teams that made very good use of thier headsets and I love playing with those guys but 90% or more of the people I run into that use headsets while playing random games have no idea how to strategize and/or effectively spot and call out enemy positions. What I usually hear is some stupid BS like "C'mon guys.... We need to push them back, we need to kill them off"...... Great strategy Einstein. The others don't even talk about anything related to the game they just use thier headset to socialize. BF with killstreaks..... Ever play Medal of Honor? Unsuccessfull COD/BF gameplay crossover. If you want to learn the maps better play on hardcore mode, you'll get your ass beat at first but then you'll notice your playing with a bunch of guysthat don't use radar, fluro-triangles, and killcams to locate enemies, instead it's done by intense observation of your surroundings and learning the kill spots on the map. You will observe what higher scoring players do and learn, and you'll come across great camping spots and the fastest routes to the objectives with least resistance on your own sometimes. Mics do help and I suggest you start to use one but most people have no idea how to use them in a helpful manner. Happy hunting!
Sergeant_ I recently saw someone trying to make the case that BF3 was really BFBC2.5, meaning there is little that has evolved from BC2. After playing the beta on my PS3 I could only laugh when thinking of that comment. On the consoles BF3 will look good but I knew not to expect a major, drastic change as the consoles are reaching thier lifes end, but graphical changes were substantial. The implementation of new weapon attachments such as the flashlight, the glare from an enemy sniper's scope and the massive impact that suppressive fire had was amazing, true game changers. A plethora of all new tactics open up with these additions to the game. Not to mention I only played Operation Metro, which had no vehicles. I can't imagine what lies ahead when I learn of the new ways to use vehicles, will exploding tanks shells suppress players, etc? Like you said COD players can stick to thier guns- and that gun's pointless dual scopes- while I lay down supressive fire with my M249 w/bipod from a 3rd floor window preventing a objective from being disarmed only to be killed by an rpg and then the building debris from that killing blast falls down upon my teammates who are rushing to protect the objective, killing them too, all while listening to Five Finger Death Punch! Thats how it's done!
@retsmot Very true. NV upon launch was a buggy mess that may not have been as buggy as Mercenaries 2 but had more technical problems overall, at least Mercs 2 never froze my PS3 4 times in an hour as I got near the end of the game. I know on consoles the larger your save file gets the worse its going to play. At least Fallout 3 and Oblivion were playable for sometime, NV was practically unplayable past 9MB.
