BF3 first day review

Well i can say BF3 is totally a different beast. Way more realistic in terms of FPS'. I'm going to have to agree with Cod being an arcade version of FPS'. I got a few kills a died alot. Got in a jet and immediately blew it the fuck up and crashed. Got in a tank and ran into a wall. Got a sniper kill, snipers are alot harder to use in BF3 over CoD.

Im gonna stick this one out, as its much more exciting to play than MW3, everytime I put in Mw3 I am looking for excuses to log out. Aside from the occassional bullshit session with a few clannies on MW3 and hosting the WC Kotw's and playing FF13-2, Ill be on BF3. BF3 is kind of boring solo though.

BF3 is tough solo, especially if everyone else wants to go fly jets, helos, sniper or generally not play the friggin objective. A full squad of people who know what they are doing can completely change the course of the game.

Glad to hear you are sticking it out. Looking forward to running with more 30s as our quest for BF3 domination continues.

A couple of things I didnt like was getting put on the wrong squad and the time of conquest games are pretty long. Also there is no back out feature, games just continously run over and over. To back out you have to quit and reinvite. Good note tho, I bought a set of the P11's turtle beaches and man the comms were awesome on BF3 switched to mw3 and loled at how bad mw3 chat is.

With 2 and maybe 3 in the squad, comms are usually quite clear (black ops-like). A 4th seems to hose up the comms for some reason. They've posted about correcting that, but I haven't seen a resolution quite yet.

Getting spilt up can be remedied by browsing the servers and finding a game with enough room to hold your squad. We've had more success that way.

BF3 is not perfect, but IMHO, it's heads and shoulders above MW3.

Just don't let Vegas drive.He gave me whiplash bouncing off shit in the tank.LMAO

On a serious note....I think I'm gonna like it.Battlelog is giving me shit by not letting me sign in,but I figured that I don't care that much for shit like that.If I fly I die.One thing I will say, I haven't informally quit on BF3 yet.LOL It doesn't matter how much I die, because 8'mI too busy. Laughing at everyone else blowing shit up around me.I will never have a kd over 1, but as long as there is some clannies there laughing at me, I'll continue to play.

Oh you're gonna play everyday!

I had no problems getting in with you guys last night. Then you all left me alone after a few minutes. That was a shitty game though, had us basically spawn trapped.

That was some good games yesterday that we had. I had a very good time playing BF3 and i'm getting into the game and how it works. I love the tanks i think i took fireman on a joy ride and he was just laughing at how i can drive the tank so good.

Glad to hear you enjoy it Vegas.

Don't forget that you can switch teams and squads in game from the pause menu. You can switch teams if there are less than 12 players on a side and you can always simply switch squads by first choosing to "leave squad" and then just pick a new one to join.

Look for Hotel Squad as that is usually the one we try to get in and it's never populated.

Good point Carl.

I tried to switch to join Vegas & Fireman but their team was full.

K/D means nothing in this game. I' be had plenty of games with negative and be on top of the board.

Truth... KD is NOTHING. The point is to win the battle. With that said however, I would really like to kill more people than I do right now.

Yup KD is nothing compared to SPM. My advise if you want to kill more people when on foot make sure you are running a suppressor and look for any kind of flanking routes. Obviously though some maps are so big that gun kills will be less. Ive had no problem killing people but my SPM was lower till i started capping more flags and killing more tanks/ifv's/jeeps/buggys.

Glad that you are liking and sticking with it Vegas. Hopefully i can get some matches with ya coming up. Ill run solo sometimes but you're right its not nearly as fun as running with clannies. Think we actually had 7 on one team a few nights ago and that was a blast.

Leaderboards are ranked according to SPM and not KDR. Even a neg KDR game can be rewarding since there are so many things you can do to work for the win that earn XP. 1 nade/rocket can blow up 3 tightly packed AT Mines. Blow up 3 mines and you get a Anti Explosive Ribbon for 200 XP. Destroying Equip is 20 XP for a total of 260. 2 kills is worth 200 XP.

I don’t use a suppressor as I prefer to engage people at range. Suppressor increases the amount of bullet drop so aiming at the chest leads to a lot of lag shots/hitting the cover the guy is hiding behind. BUT, Nixon’s KDR is better than mine so maybe I need to be paying attention…

Flank Flank and more flank. Avoid head to head gunfights as 1) most people are a better aim than you right now and 2) Chances are he has a buddy close buy so if you do happen to win the fight you will be at 10 health and get creamed by his squad mate in one pistol shot.

If I'm on tonight, don't forget I'm always willing to help out and play some Coop even though I've already unlocked all the coop weapons for multiplayer.

Missing out on some decent weapons though if you dont do the coop missions.

Granted to unlock all the weapons you need to grind. There are 8 coop missions but you will need to do about a total of 40 missions to get enough points. (40 total, not the entire 8 missions 40 times).

How many peeps can we get into co-op? Only 2?

Unfortunately only 2. Wish you could do 4. That would be the shizznit.

If you play with me you may wish wehad 4. I have yet to comlete a mission...

you at least have to do a co-op so you can get acess to assignments to start unlocking the 8 guns available there. I really like the second assault rifle available.

I have unlocked the revolver from co-op and it has nice power- 2 shot kill which makes it a real threat instead of the pop guns available as secondaries.

When your on winicott hit me up man. I really got the game just so I could play with you and the other guys. So far only me and fireman have been sucking it up as a duo.

I will try to get on in the next few days to hold your hands, pat you on the ass, and say good game. Little hectic around my house right now so it may be a bit until I get on. I will help with the CO-OP. I really want to get that SIG 553 unlocked for the engineer class. It is like the assault class HK416, but for the engineers so it is totally worth it.

I should have some time this weekend between work to hop on. I need to finish the co-op as well.

Will do Vegas, glad to have you aboard. I was not on last night and only for a bit the night before. RL has demands apparently that if you ignore have RL repercussions.

I should be on this weekend and will look for you.

If you can hook up wtih Crossfire, he's a great guide through the game. Carl, Nate, Wini et al will treat you right (cue Manic).

Yeah, had a great game started last night with Nixon and Crossfire, but all of a sudden crossfire
disappeared.

Im not looking for people to "Hold my Hand" <--- Sarcasm font!As it was so eloquently put. Im not gonna play solo in bf3 cuz I just die repeatedly.
