Any GHers playing BF3?
« on: Mon, 09 January 2012, 23:01:42 »
I'm sure there are a bunch of you playing. What do y'all think of it? Personally I'm having trouble deciding whether I prefer this or BF:BC2.

Currently its driving me mad that they're making me play modes I don't like to get unlocks I want. Rush mode just seems broken to me.
Every MCOM is surrounded by claymores, with defenders camping prone nearby spamming the point with automatic shotguns fitted with extended mags and frag rounds as soon as any potential attackers show up to arm.
Unless you manage to roll in there before they set their camp up, you're prettymuch guaranteed to lose.
If you do manage to get in first, you automatically win because they seem to rather setting up camp on the next point than try and defuse the current one.

I was so glad when I got my 10 MCOM arms, and could go back to having fun with conquest and conquest assault modes.

Anyway, discuss. Favourite weapons?
Personally, I LOVE the AEK-971. Burst fire with the appropriate optics absolutely dominates hardcore mode.

BF1942 was best. Every Battlefield game since then has been downhill.
Notable Switches I have tried:
black cherry, blue cherry, brown cherry, clear cherry, cherry M84, white alps, black alps, cream alps, Monterey blue alps, Fujitsu Peerless, Gateway2000 rubber dome, Keytronic rubber dome, Model M buckling spring, Model F buckling spring, futaba, black space invader

I'm playing BF3.

I'm not really that big into Battle Field so I usually just do TDM and play it like I used to play COD.

Heh. I haven't seriously played any of the CoD games since the first Modern Warfare. I played that online quite a bit when it came out, and it was pretty fun.
Watching my brother play MW2 looked horrible. I played the campaign on X360 and didn't have the desire to take it any further than that. I might do the same for MW3, at some stage.

Personally I love playing as a close squad with two or three friends.
BC2 was great for that reason. It was definitely a slower game than CoD, and I can see how that might turn some people off, but personally I much prefer it that way.
I prefer slow, intense games (my favourite FPS is STALKER: SoC), where tactical and intelligent play is rewarded.
BF3 has definitely started to go in the run-and-gun direction, though. There seems to be less of an emphasis on squad-based play, which is disappointing.
I'm definitely not enjoying BF3 as much as I had hoped before release.

I like playing BF3, on occasion, gets boring after a while due to the lack of teamwork. For that reason I probably think I prefer BFBC2. Best weapon probably M16A4 although I like to have correlating weapons when we change team i.e. use US weapons when playing US, and use Russian weapons when playing Russia then I like the AN-94. I prefer Rush Hardcore.

After lost interest I stopped playing COD after MW2, did not agree with the DLC and have not bought a COD since.

I love that game BTW (in case you couldn't tell from the previous post). I mostly play TDM, but all other modes are fun too (except squad deathmatch -- why did they put vehicles in there?)

BF3 is a good game, I find it more fun than BF BC2 now. But in the beginning beta made me skeptical. In the end it all came around and end up being a fun game.

I love it. In BC2 I loved rush and hated conquest, in BF3 I love conquest and hate rush. I wish they would add some BC2 maps so I could enjoy rush again. Overall I love the game and the clan I play with. TDM is my guilty pleasure since no one else in my clan likes it

****, some of you guys have played for ages.

I'm at 30 hours or so?

Also, good call about bringing in some BC2 maps. I'd love to play White Pass, Panama Canal or Atacama Desert some more. The maps in BF3 are too big.

Oops. I didn't see that thread.

I bought it on release day, but didn't play for a while because of exams.
And then I didn't play for a while because of Skyrim.

So, even though I've had it for ages, I'm only just starting to get into it properly now.

lol
I can't stand the shotties in BF3. It might just be because I haven't unlocked the right combo of shotgun/ammo/optics/etc. yet.
The people who abuse the automatic shotgun/extended mags/frag rounds combo make me so angry, I feel morally obligated not to do it myself.
I'm much more about well placed bursts from an assault rifle.
Probably why I keep getting hammered at Metro, lol.

Also, @ dimoniy, loving the Adventure Time avatar. Such a good show, that.

Yup, most of those shotgun kills where in Metro, I won't even lie about it. Metro 64 CQ can be fun, but it gets old fast. The sad thing is that shotguns are pretty much useless outside of Metro or certain TDM maps.


Right now I'm focusing on getting all unlocks for all the guns on the Assault kit. I'm halfway done, I just have the AK-74(very close to done), G3(close), L85, AN-94 and HK2002 left to do.

I just got the last unlock for my AEK-971.
Going to do the M416 next, and the Abakan when I unlock it.
I loved me my Abakan in STALKER and BC2. Hope its as good in BF3.

All the burst weapons shine at mid-to-long range (as they should) but really suffer in CQC. The reason I use the AN-94 over the M16A4 is that it can be changed to full auto, the M16A4 can't be so it suffers in CQC. IMO all the burst weapons feel "sticky" when used in CQC.

Agreed. I either change to auto, if I've got it, or to my Grach when I get too close.

God, I love that pistol.
Its less OP in BF3 than it was in BC2, though. It was ridiculous in BC2.

Shiiit. Thats heaps. I've got ~150, maybe?
Thats my main pistol. I like playing around with the silenced G17 and M1911 when I'm on a hardcore server, just for fun.
Can't wait until I get the .44 Magnum revolver, or whatever that is. I've got the Rex, but thats pretty crap. There's just something about revolvers that makes them awesome, no matter how impractical they are.

They looks boss as hell and are fun when you're messing around (especially with the scoped mag.) but I truly think the MP443 is the best handgun. The M1911 does slightly more damage but has alot of recoil, a slow reload time and the damage chart looks really bad. The mag is OHK up close in hardcore, but again high recoil, terrible damage chart meaning at range it sucks. G18 rapes face yup close but is less than useless at anything med to long range. The M9 is the exactly the same except it has 2 less bullets and the bullet goes 60 m/s faster (same reload time). So if you need a gun that does kinda good up close (I've bet G18 users that get scared) and excels at mid to long range the MP443 is the man.


Statically the G17 is better due to it having a faster bullet speed (that's the only difference between the G17 and the MP443) but bullet speed doesn't really make that huge of a difference anyways (in handguns that is).

BF1942 was best. Every Battlefield game since then has been downhill.

Quoted for MFing truth. :hat: More specifically, I could not play enough Desert Combat, though the Pirates and Forgotten Hope mods where also excellent. DC was still so strong when BF:V came out that everyone I knew skipped it. BF2 was... irritating... but I played it because that's where all the clan players where. I dropped back to the hold out DC servers after I couldn't stand BF2 any more. The old DC clan is reassembling in BF3, so I'm playing it. It's better then BF2, but there's still mechanics that bug the crap out of me. How many times have you gotten killed because you got stuck on a teammate when trying to run past them? In general though, BF1942 and it's mods really caught my fancy because there where no unlocks. Everyone had the same gear. We where all on the same playing field and the only thing that seperated the good from the bad was skill and team work. Now you get one shotted from across the map by a guy with an M60 and a 12x scope.

Hate to say it but the "starter" weapons are my favorite. The M16A3 and Ak74 are both boss in all situations, the M4A1 is a beast, the IAR and RPK are both monsters. The only thing that sucks about them is that they are faction specific until you get a service star for that class. And because of that the unlocks for them take twice as long to get something good for each of them. That's why you see so many lower level players stick with the first non- faction specific weapon they get, because the unlocks for them are easier/less time to get the "better" unlocks for them.


BTW the M60 can equip the 12x, justsayin'

Like I mentioned before, I'm all about the AEK-971. So much fun with that weapon, and it just looks beautiful with the right optics on it.

I'm trying to do the assignments for the Support class, which means I need to unlock myself the mortar. I'm not even half way there yet. I don't really like the LMGs in BF3, which is weird because I loved Medic in BC2.
I've been using PDWs to help get my score up quicker, but I haven't figured out which one I like yet.
I've lost count of how many times I've died because the clip in the MP7 is too small, and the enemy has been left on <10% health and killed me while I was reloading/switching to pistol.

In BC2 I loved assault because of the ammo boxes, in BF3 I love support for the amm boxes :)


MP7: High ROF (950), lowish damage (20 max, 10 min), low ammo count until you get extended mags

PP-2000: Medium ROF (600), good close damage bad damage at range (25 max, 10 min), another one where extended mags is a good option

UMP: Medium ROF (600), good close damage meh damage at range (25 max, 13 min), low recoil/ROF makes it good at any range, good to use with suppressor since it doesn't have extended mags

PDR-R: Medium ROF (750), good close damage meh damage at range (25 max, 13 min), extended mags not a must but I always equip them if I can

P90: High ROF (900), lowish damage (20 max, 10 min), large magazine, no extended mags makes this another one that's good to use a suppressor with

AS Val: High ROF (900), good damage chart (22 max, 17 min), integrated suppressor but no extended mags, very very tight spread compared to the other PDWs, small magizine (20 rounds)

PP-19: High ROF (900), lowest damage (17 max, 9 min), large mag, no extended mags so another one to use a suppressor with, high recoil and spread



My personal favorites: AS VAL if you can make you shots count/headshots, P90 CQC spray and pray, UMP long range engagements, PDW-R medium or close range engagements
Vendor Status: Sadly, not taking any orders/pre-orders at this time

I played BF3 until I figured out how easy it was to cheat and level fast (score points on empty servers, or farm points on meat grinders).  That kind of killed the fun for me.

Filco 104 MX Brown (Otaku) - FKBN104M/NPEK 黒い空
Ducky TKL MX Brown/Blue 80% (White) - 1087-F 白の空

Played the most broken game ever the other night.

It was a three-point conquest assault game at Sharqi Peninsula. I got sniped in the head as soon as the game started because we all spawned within view of the defending team. My team go hammered, because they managed to steal our tank, and spawn-camped s**t out of us with two tanks. I never made it out of the spawn area for the duration of the game. Died about 12 times to the tank drivers, because I'd spawned within view of one of them. Our team never even set foot within a control point, let alone capturing one, and the mixture of ticket bleed and base-rape meant the game was over in like two minutes. Sharqi works great as a large conquest assault, but this three-point one was absolutely ridiculous. It made me wonder what the f**k DICE were thinking when they designed that map.

There's been a few times I've thought that lately. Its a pain in the arse, because I'm still having fun with the game overall - I just find that, now and then when games like this come up, I wonder why I'm still playing.

I've been getting pretty good with my Assault kit now.
Got all the unlocks with the AEK-971, M416 and F2000. Probably going to finish off the two starting weapons now.

Was loving the F2000 towards the end there.
Once I got my eye in for how long to hold the trigger down, I put a burst in a guy and bail, knowing that the last bullet I fired would drop him, even though I'd already moved on to the next target or bailed.
I got somethilike 70 kills with that gun in a nearly full 64-player TDM at Grand Bazaar. Pretty sure it was 300 tickets, but thats still a bit more than my fair share. Gotta love getting the full haul of Ace Squad, MVP and Match Winner ribbons, with a bunch of nemesis and squad wipe ribbons to come with it.
