Re: Battlefield 3

I'm officially done with this game. The hit detection has to be the worst I've seen. I'm truly disappointed cause this is a quality game. I prefer TDM mode and to me this is not the strength of this game. I also don't like how your forced to use Defender/Attacker gun classes, when the clear objective is to kill more members of there team then yours.

Yeah, TDM is definitely an after thought in this game. Can't blame you for shelving it if that's the main mode you play. For me, the objective modes are the core of the game, and the reason I play it.

I've seen the phrase used as an insult but I absolutely don't mean it in that way - You will probably enjoy COD's multiplayer more if that's your style of game.

Yeah, I've been a closet COD fan due to the fast pace and TDM being main selling points to the COD game. Black Ops was a letdown due to inconsistent hit detection issues at least for me. Hopefully that is fix in MW3. I'm not the greatest player but enjoy the fast pace action COD brings.

Man this guy can fly. He has to be using a joystick.

When flying a jet or helicopter do you use the flares as soon as you are locked on, or do you wait until the lock on signal is steady and you are about to get hit?

When the lock on signal changes to indicate that they have fired. That's when you should use them.

Countermeasures should have been unlocked from the start. When I launch my stinger or heatsinker I can immediately tell if the pilot has them. I start to laugh when they don't because you start seeing them do barrel roles and loops. Its hard enough to earn points as a pilot, but its a huge disadvantage for new players to have to earn flares.

Which is why I still suck with jets. I already can't shoot any missles which is limiting, but trying to earn the flares so I can stay in the sky longer is frustrating, especially since I haven't been getting assist points at least when I shoot up a tank and it gets blown up. Shooting down some jet pilots is hard with a gun as well.

Helicopters are much easier to earn them in.

Heck of a shot. Makes my 99.76m one look completely worthless.

Re: Battlefield 3

I actually got my 160m headshot with a tank shell! I seem to get alot of headshots with the tanks in BF3 than I ever had in both Bad Companies combined.

Re: Battlefield 3

Interesting video, and I agree with the thoughts in it... for the most part. BF3 has been a very fun, and immersive game, and when played with the right people can result in a very enjoyful gaming experience. However the game definitely has a few issues, that some people might be willing to overlook right now because of how new the game is.

- First off the TDM spawns. They are way too erratic, and random. They flip constantly, and you'll end up spawning in random areas of the map sometimes right next to, or in front of enemies. There's been so many instances where I've spawned and within 5 seconds instantly died because the game spawned me in direct view of an enemy. I've also killed people that spawn right in my view.. cheap, but what can you do give him 10 seconds to run away in Deathmatch? Heck no. Maybe they feel this isn't a big issue because the Objective modes have and will be the bigger focus in the BF series but I definitely feel they need to balance the spawns and make the Spawn propensity Stronger toward one side of the map where your team is more populated, and make it harder to flip.

- The Tactical Flashlight, yes this has been much talked about here. I don't know exactly how realistic it is, but it is definitely frustrating. Can you honestly say you've died to someone using this on their gun and sat back and said "Wow that was extremely realistic, if I was facing this guy in real life I'd be completely blinded and wouldn't know where to fire at him". Eh I don't think so.

It feels like the range and radius of the blinding effect is too drastic. Even for a strong flashlight... So many times I've ran into a guy in a Shipping container, or under a dark staircase... Been flashed, sprayed my entire clip in the general direction, Died, and came out saying WTF just happened? I've also used it myself in situations where I'm losing a Gun Fight, I whip out my secondary Tac. Light pistol... and proceed to win the gun fight. Sorry I just think it's cheap the way it is now, and needs to be toned down a bit. Make it effective in the darkest areas but not in well lit, or outdoors in day light.

- Being able to use Mortars while Out of Bounds does seem cheap and I hope they look into this as well.

- Randoms doing their own things in Objective game modes, is definitely an issue, but I don't think there's much to change that. There is a TDM and there are still Lonewolfers in Rush/Conquest. He suggest adding more Sandbox type game modes, maybe I would like to see that... but I definitely would have liked a Private match mode to practice in Jets, and other Vehicles. Feels like if people learn the flight controls they would be more of a help to their team, instead of learning on the job in live games where they might waste a Vehicle that could have helped their team.

Overall despite these issues the game is still loads of fun, and some might not even consider them major issues or game breaking. I feel Dice will definitely look into and address some of these going forward.

Re: Battlefield 3

I'm sorry PS3 guys, I had to bail.

I wish I had a way of recording some things. I was just flying a jet and doing a little bit of work (im not that great with one) and I get hit and have to eject. I drop out and pull the chute and whip out my rpg and take out a tank directly below me.. pretty cool stuff.
