So after 4 years of a personal boycott against EAGames (they treat their customers worse than dirt), I decided to buy Battlefield 3 so I could play it with friends.
My god, this game is terrible. Sure its pretty, but the entire thing felt half-ass (even more half-ass than this post). Going through the campaign, every gun fight was EXACTLY THE SAME. AI was a complete joke. Now I know this isn't a single player game, but I was still disappointed.
And the multiplayer, I can't stand it. The combination of amazing full auto accuracy at 200m out, a tagging system that makes it difficult to hide/play sneakily, you can't play competitively or even make a difference on the battlefield unless you have 20+ hours of in-game play time (and this isn't from experience, but because of the unlocks you need).
I still think Battlefield 2 is a better game. BF3 just doesn't feel right, and I should have known better.... |

BF3 is ok, I have it, I had a good bit of fun redecorating a building (read, blowing up) with a tank. I do 100% understand your complaint with it though, I noticed the stink of EA on it the second I opened it up on my ps3 and had to fill out a bunch of stuff to get access to the multiplayer, and the singleplayer is a steaming pile of crap (not to mention the fact that it doesn't work if you're not connected to the internet).
But yeah, good rule of thumb, don't buy EA games unless you hear it's fantastic. I don't even plan on buying mass effect 3 until I hear that the game is actually a 10/10. |

The single player is there to get you used to the controls for multiplayer, as that's what the entire BF series is |

I didn't think BF2 or BF2142 had single player options even available..
Theres just nothing impressive with the game. |

i think the single player in Bad Company 1 was more compelling. I mean it was a mix of the Italian job, Oceans 11 and The Longest Day. How to build a PC for EVE thread (by Akita T) http://eve-search.com/thread/1559734-0/page/1

BF3 is amazing, sorry you prob suck at it thus coming to the forums to single it out and moan.
All the guns in the game have their uses and feel, it depends how you use them. This is not a game of run and gun CoD or whoever has the first draw wins.
Epic game that has lots of lols and fun, takes skill, I recommend for PC. [img]http://www.imgbox.de/users/S7AR/star.png[/img] |

I have years (and years) of CS dating from 1.3, time spent playing DOD, FA mod(the original, new one is bad), BF 2, etc. I'm reasonably good.
But when an M4 is going full auto (which in RL mine wasn't full auto) just spraying away at me with utmost accuracy 50-100m away? CCQ courses are quick reaction courses, most ranges between 3-10m within buildings, and nailing them quickly isn't too hard. But BF3 the guns are way too accurate, and being spammed with rocket launchers inside buildings- I didn't think BF3=TF2, (assuming B does not equal (2T/3). |

and that probably comes down to personal taste. You should try a Hardcore server without 3D tagging, crosshairs and first person view for vehicles only. completly different experience |

lmfao, I thought the same thing. In real life, if you try launch an RPG inside a building, you die along with your target.
Not to mention that I heard they nerfed the noob tube in BF3. They totally didn't. Noob tube is alive and well. |

Funny cause in Bf2 I thought the guns weren't accurate for ****. Sounds like you're just more of a counter strike guy. (And I could complain all day about CS) As for sneaking... prone helps, or not going head long into battle rather flanking and using "hard" cover. Sounds like you're getting your ass kicked... which is to be expected for any new game.
Furthermore the first weapons you get are actually rather good. M16 is accurate, m27iar is way faster, and more accurate than the other heavier MG's. MK11 I find to be more useful unless it's super long sniping. I suppose some of the Russian starting guns aren't as great...Or just their optics suck (SVD, ak 74)
But meh maybe it's just not your thing /shrug |

Well, played a few infantry maps and found those to be a whole lot better, but I'm still having an issue with keeping people pinned down as support. |

No wonder. BF3 was made just so they could make money of off the not too bright people. Make some light shows and some pretty explosions, and you make easy money.
FPS games is in a sad state right now, though I have tried a few indie ones that hold some promise. |

multiplayer is fun for a while issue = maps are either too big, or they are the right size but no flanking is possible
the single player is a let down, but anyone who gets BF for single player should just quit games.
its not a bad game, its just not as good as its predecessors, it is better then the last 4 iterations of COD though. |

Back to Karkand fixed a lot of the issues for me. The remakes of Sharqi, Gulf and Karkand are amazing and finally get a little of that BF2 feel back into the game i missed with the other maps which pretty much just felt uninspired. |

I can agree with this. For sabotage, in a few of the maps it boils down to who can get to the targets the fastest instead of any strategy or fancy gun work, since they're often in areas where the enemy can simply camp and you can't do anything to kill them, whether it be go around or whatever. I could honestly just sit and camp in some rooms with those targets in them and defend the target completely on my own against 20 guys. This is game breaking, it does need to be redone... |

None of the shoulder fired launchers have enough blow back to kill you when fired from inside a building. |

If they made the rockets realistic the shoulder launched anti air would have a range of 10 miles and travel at mach 5, the Javelin would one shot any armor and never miss, the RPG would randomly choose a direction to go, and the SMAW would be 20% cooler |

Thank you. I've have felt the same way since I bought the game, and I only paid $30.
Who the **** thought it would be a good idea to include unlockable weapons in a competitive multiplayer shooter? Seriously, just give me all the damn weapons. Like Halo, Counterstrike, or Day of Defeat.
And who the hell works for Dice? BF3 is a buggy mess. |
