I would be cool with firestorm but with double tanks, 2 attack helicopters, 2 transport choppers and one plane each.
Also, I feel like I am the only one using the transport chopper. You get no vehicle points when you capture a point and a measly 20 point for vehicle assist kills when hovering and letting your gunners reign chain gun fire on the snipers on the roofs. More points when flying the transport helicopter would be nice.
Chokepoints aren't this homogenous entity some people paint them as. There are good and bad chokepoints. Good chokepoint maps focus the action but always allow alternate paths (Grand Bazaar/Seine Crossing) whereas bad chokepoint maps funnel players into an unavoidable firing squad (every single BC2: Vietnam map and OP Metro).Evolved1 said:
Another way I look at it is that good chokepoints allow a player to partake in immediate action if they choose to, whereas a bad chokepoint forces a player into action whether they want to or not.
I'm all for well designed vehicles maps, as long as every class has some measurable utility. Caspian border is a good example of this; Firestorm is not.

I'll have to disagree with you there my friend. I loved Operation Hastings and Phu Bai! Both were big, open maps that you could approach the objectives from various paths, specially on Conquest!

I think it might be a glitch, as I tried getting the Motion Assist Ribbon placing the tugs on Metro flag B.
On 2 games, I was the only one playing recon on my team, and my tugs detected enemies coming from the stairs in front and back of the B flag, and even some coming from the side stair. Those are the only 3 routes available for the team that spawns on the subway to get up, and I never got that Ribbon. Both those games basically revolved around who would control B, with little to no action on the other flags.
Then I played Seinne Crossing with the MAV and got 4 Motion Sensor ribbons in a single round...

The market is one of the worst maps ever because of HALLWAYS. Even sneaking around is a pain in the ass. How the hell can you say that's the best map (even with "LOL FLANKING ROUTES" reason which are just as much as a PITA as the hallways) in the game. Seriously!
Bruiserk said:
Oh, right. I forget you guys are wusses and can't deal with Rush. My bad.
Point is, the map is terrible all around. The only good thing it has in Conquest is opening the highway up. Otherwise it's two long hallways with a few cut-off points in Rush AND Conquest as well. People putting it up at the top and Metro at the bottom are a head scratcher since they're NEARLY the same damn thing.

RPG or Grenade at spawn point, problem solved.
TheSeks said:
Hey, I'll play rush, I don't complain about it. Whenever I have played rush with you or dream and farlanghn I've had fun for the most part. I'm as surprised as you when it comes to me not playing conquest. That's what we played exclusively in BC2, and once I reach a point it probably will be again, but right now I'm happy with my conquest games. Being able to do what I want (for the most part) and play at my own pace is enjoyable right now.
No. I don't play it because it's shit. I have 500 more games of Rush played on BC2 than I do Conquest because it was the better gametype. That is the only reason.TheSeks said:
Bazaar is amazing. Play that map errday.
Exactly. We didn't play w/GAF for BC2 so everything is out of context. We played Rush exclusively and we played the objective every single game. But, BF3 isn't BC2.Bruiserk said:
noire said:
If I know people are at a spawn point and there's a ton of them coming, generally the team will come and wipe them out. I'll find the spawn beacon and RPG it.
OH NO YOU LE DIDN'T @ Arica Harbor, Port Valadez, and Cold War.
Mike said:
L-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-L. Only in your and most of GAF's minds that can't accept that defense needed a buff thus no collapsing crates and crates are better protected with indestructible cover now.
Getting to the crate now is more fun than it was in BC2 because now you can't just throw rockets and tanks at the crate to win.

Hate to say it, but I'm bailing out of BF3 for the time being. Since other then playing with gaf people this game pisses me off to no end. I'm jumping over to MW3 since at least there I don't have to worry if my teammates are mentally retarded. I'll pick it up used later since I own the online pass.

I got that last night too, was really confusing at first had no idea if I was shooting friendlies or not. (although I have to say it was rather refreshing to have the entire HUD off the screen for a change. Wish they'd make that a permanent option just to mix things up now and then.)

Why didn't you stick around for that last game against that level 45 clan? Had to leave or afraid to mess your W/L? We were actually winning for a good portion until they called reinforcements and we were short by like 2 or 3 players at the end. We ended up losing by only 40 tickets. It would have been a sure win with one more gaffer on our side.

I'm talking about the game right after that Caspian Border borefest that we played alongside the level 45 clan. In the next match the game split us up and we were on the opposite team. The first thing I said over the mic when we deployed was "finally we have a good challenging game tonight, let's stick around and do this" and poof you were gone.
MuseManMike said:
I don't get hard-ons from that; apparently it's you that get those when you look at your W/L (you said it yourself a few posts back). It's just annoying that when we finally have some competent opposition we are left short and this is not the first time it happens with you. Perhaps it's just a coincidence and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but next time before you quit, check the scoreboard and see if your absence will have a negative impact on the team. At least that's what I do to try and help (unless I really have to go then I just quit).

In terms of speed/controls I don't think there is but I like the cannon sight for the T90 better. That, and the Abrams has a major flaw that when you try to shoot back and down (for example if you have somebody trying to plant C4 on the back of the tank) the cannon gets stuck with the rear part of the body and it's impossible to aim down!
I didn't hear that at all. You do know VoIP doesn't work right? I knew JJD was on mic and I couldn't make out a word he was saying (thus why I messaged the both of you on Battlelog before joining the games). I asked JJD if we were waiting on something, and I asked if you were there at all (not knowing if you were trying to talk to me).olimpia84 said:
I'll be sure to develop an algorithm to compare how hungry I am, with how cold my food is getting, and team imbalance before leaving. I think you need to stop investing so much in a video game that you have to consider "impact" on a team if something else comes up. And I've never left a game because of good players, I only leave if the teams don't have an even number of players or facing a GAF stack.

Everyone who wasn't in my squad that game needs to be sterilized so they can't reproduce. I don't think I've ever done so well and been so angry.

Am I the only one who still has it stuck in their head that left on the d-pad will bring up the C4?
"I'll just dispose of this tank...Uh-oh. Gonna die badly here. Runrunrun!"
Can't be the only one. Just can't. Why change that of all things. Same still goes for R3 bringing up third person in vehicles, specifically the choppers.
"Easy kills, just swoop down and line them up...OH GAWD third person view!"
That view is great for landing, but when it comes up unexpectedly it's pretty jarring.
So jarring. Also, Arica Harbor Rush was great until people figured out that they could camp miles away with the tanks and shell 5/10 of the crates.
Taking that nonsense out is great, but then they went completely the other way and made it so easy for defenders that Rush is poopy. Straight poopy.

Bad Company 2 had nothing but mediocre maps
Battlefield 3 has some pretty good maps with a few bad ones thrown in
Bad Company 1 has some of the best maps I've personally ever played. I think I'm gonna pick this up again tomorrow for old times sake.

I always thought the T90 was better because of the sights. What made the Abrams in BC2 the better tank?
Good games tonight Olimpia and Mickey, I tried to join Farlanghn later but his games were always full.
I actually had more fun on that game that we lost than on the others. The only thing that pissed me was that disconnect, I thought the server had crashed...
And as you said we only lost by 40 tickets...if we had 2 more gaffers on our side I think we could have won.
We did have a lvl. 36 on our side, but I felt like there was only the 2 of us trying to hold B against 4 lvl. 45 guys. I can't imagine what the rest of our team was doing the for most of the game.
It seems whenever Gaf plays together people just quit the server. I'm tired of playing little games. I guess I'll remove the clan tag from my name after all. I mean, it must be pretty discouraging to join a server just to see 6, 7 guys from a clan playing together right?
I also played a Rush game with randoms...I don't believe I'll be doing it again any time soon.
