lapal_fan Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 good man. They should never have released BF3 on consoles, its the entire reason they're making small maps, because the console players are moaning the maps are too big and there isn't enough action.. EA pressured DICE into making it multi platform, DICE's intention was to make the Bad Company series for the consoles and keeping the Battlefields on PC. So who do we blame? DICE for selling out to EA (who made a few people alot of money), or EA for making DICE do things they didn't want to do initially - to maximise profit.. Makes my blood boil.

PieFacE Posted April 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2012 So the big patch has been released, thoughts? I had 20minutes on it and it felt better, though quite bored of it at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think the patch for Xbox comes out Tuesday. Not sure how true, but i see alot of them going on about it on the forums. I really like the idea of the rented servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The patch HAS improved things. You can now one shot kill choppers/planes with unguided rpgs.. I cry with happiness getting double kills with my trusty RPG. Also, they've nearly (I.e 99%) fixed the thing where on your screen it looks like you get 1 hit killed with some guns (FAMAS etc), meaning you do have more of a chance to react. I'm pleased with it so far (played about 3 hours with the patch) - its starting to become what it should have been at release. p.s. Custom servers are good for practicing with jets/choppers if you're not brilliant at them. happy hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I've given it some more hours since my post above and it's now as good as it should be until further patches. The weapons now have character, they all act differently and perform well in different situations. People aren't running around with foregrips and silencers and it creates a much more varied game play. Suppression is the hot topic currently. Basically, when you are under fire, your screen becomes blurred and the game adds random deviation to the bullets. Tests have been taken to test the severity of it and basically, if you have a 'bead' on the enemy head and shoot whilst suppressed, your bullets are very unlikely to hit where your cross hair is pointing. Some people are saying this takes the skill out of the game, but some people are saying it helps to incread team work and the complexity of fire fights over different ranges. Personally, if someone is shooting at me and I end up being suppressed, on the way down to prone I always fire a few shots to try and counter the suppression. I don't think it seems overly unfair, in real life, if you're being shot at, you duck your head down and wait for team mates to flank, or an oppertunity to return fire. I'm going to stick my neck on the block and say it's ok for now. Also worthy of a mention that different guns put differing amounts of suppression. I.e Machine guns heavily suppress you for a prolonged period, sniper rifles are shirt but strong suppression and normal assault rifles are medium suppression for a medium amount of time. RPG's which are unguided are 1 hit kills to choppers, planes etc, which I always thought should be the case anyway. People seem to be more involved in team work now and last night I had some absolutely awesome RUSH games (don't usually play RUSH). Again though, it's much, MUCH better when you are playing with a few friends with mics'. Co-ordinating tactics and routes and planning flanks is really good fun. So yeah, I'm really pleased so far - DICE yet again demonstrate that although it's been 6 months coming, they're starting to get their act together.

packoman Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Also I love the longer rounds that people are making, I played a 58min round the other day. Great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBM Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Custom servers make the biggest difference for me. The larger ticket games just have a better flow. Also I never used USAS with Frags, but I cant stop using M26 with dart, heavy barrel etc. Its cheap and feels wrong but that thing is a battle cannon post patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 On conquest sure, but people are increasing the ticket count on Rush now.. and Rush is already very finely balanced.. Increased ticket counts on Rush just means the attackers always win, but i dont play Rush anyway Yea, i'm having a lot more fun on this now the patch is out.

Rino8 Posted April 19, 2012 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2012 The only problem seems to be map variation, since I didn't get the special edition and I'm cheap, I've never bothered with the map pack so I end up playing the same 4 or 5 maps. I'd rather play those than Operation Metro and that one that's in the streets with tanks, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 ? Also, M26 dart is 'the' cheat gun at the moment, it shouldn't do half the damage is does at range, it will be getting nerfed in the next patch. Rush is getting a little bit better too, had some good rounds on that recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted May 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2012 I've completely given up on this game now. I had a go yesterday for the first time in a few months and just got raped. Every game seems to be so one sided. Havent had a decent game in so long. Guess that's a consequence of playing alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 yea it is PieFace (I feel so mean calling you that.. I'll call you Rupert ) What I've done is, play on my own, with my headset and get people on there to put their mics on. It does happen, if you speak, you'll often see people sparking their mics up. Then if you gain a rapport with some of them, ask them to add you as a friend. I've got enough now to play all day and night if i wanted... Its great. Check out some of my 'better friends' who are in the top 200/300 people in the world on PS3; philigoro peacemakire kilcs83 & here's mine to show you how far behind those guys I am!; me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted June 9, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2012 I can't believe the knife is your 4th best weapon :|... I think i've only knifed about 20 people... in about 150hours of game play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's a bit easier on consoles because it takes a little longer to turn around. If i see someone lying prone I will run at them head on knowing their fingers can't physicall turn that quickly and stab them. Happens a lot and will happen more now I bought Premium.

VBM Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I am enjoying CQ at the moment. Stumpted up for premium and it is worth it I would say. Scap metal is a very fun map. Still looking forward to Armored Kill far more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted June 14, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm purchasing the Premium thing now, I buy all the expansions so I might as well as it will work out cheaper. Anyone on Xbox want to party up? All my friends are COD gayboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
