BF3: My First Impressions....as promised

Ok, where do I begin. The only thing similar to MW3 might be the button controls. I had a blast playing with the crew last night even though the learning curve is much higher than a COD game. ON one single game I crashed 3 choppers and died and laughed each time, I also flew a jet out of the map and died, ran a boat into a concrete structure and died, etc.....

The only slightly frustrating things were the brutal recoil on the support POS gun and getting shot without even seeing the enemy (which happened alot). On a positive note I did have 4 total sniper kills and one was across the map and was a headshot.

All in all I had a great time and was a GREAT change of pace from MW3, I plan on playing both games equally. Alot to learn and I know it will take time, meanwhile I will be the NOOB and provide some laughs for everyone including myself.

we can squad up and make an oops reel...

It's a fun game. A guy I work with suggested getting in an unranked match that's near empty or empty to learn the art of flying choppers/jets. Also, I play a lot of TDM which has helped me level up some guns.

As it stands now, even playing solo most of the time, I like this game A LOT better than MW3.

Unlocking attachments will help alot with weapons, especially if you set up shop with your LMG and the bipod attachment. There is like zero recoil then!

Jamie,if you wanna laugh like we all did in private matches the other night ,all you gotta do is jump in a chopper with me.We will have wonderful take off, and a deadly crash.I remind you that this all happens in about ooooooo 10 seconds.LOL. I was so tired last night, that I just couldn't play but 2 or 3 games.I'm starting to get used to everything,but I am still a NOOB.I'm going to start spending more time with BF3, since it's easier to find a squad to join.MW3 is getting so over populated that it's just frustrating.

there are Private Matches on BF3? cause I would love to learn to fly a freaking chopper

Only real place to learn is the 2nd co-op mission. Sometimes you will fly, sometimes the other guy will fly.

If you're in with a friend and want practice, you can just keep quitting the mission and restarting until you are flying.

How many times did you mean to melee and went prone?

@ Grumpy none.....I run tatical on MW3 so that part of the transition was fine.

I switched the melee and prone so I would quit doing that lol

2nd impression being spawned trapped 5 games in a row sucks and makes VERY unfun to play.

If I get spawn trapped 2 games in a row (only happened to me on Terahn Highway and Metro), I will leave the lobby. Since they don't mix up the lobbies between games, you end up playing with the same useless teammates and also against the same very good players.

I haven't experienced a much spawn trapping, but I don't think I've played more than a couple games of TDM. I usually play conquest or rush. I can't say I prefer one game over the other.

@ Stream-I noticed that after you unlock a few different gun it becomes more fun to play because you are at least competitive. Watch some of the challenges to unlock other things as well.
