"Hide on hide"
The way he explains it is exactly how I feel CoD plays. Spawn, get shot from someone camping, spawn, get shot again. I think it just boils down to BF and CoD being very different games, which is why DICE trying to make it more CoD like is all the more confusing.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
So did anyone else die because they didn't know the M4 unlock is burst only? I ran over a hill on Damavand Peak and met face to face with any enemy so I clicked and held for the easy kill. It fired once and I just ended up staring at him as he shot me to death.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
You see, spawnkills drive me insane in CoD and Halo and the like, but in this, I feel like everyone has an equal chance of biting the bullet that way. It's kind of chaotically fair, so I don't mind as much. It's not like there's some douchebag who ordered an autokill helicopter right over your only spawn point.

So I'm playing some more through the campaign and I notice three things. Quite a bit of bulletproof glass, very limited destruction, and worst of all endlessly spawning enemies. In my Battlefield? Its more common than you think...
This might be my single player disappointment of the generation. As a visual tour de force it gets high marks, but as a game? Man. Talk about cribbing from the worst parts of modern shooters.

Don't get too much hope. DICE will probably cut the maps down and decrease the space between flags.

Both games are definitely different, and each should focus on its own strenghts. DICE's attempt at TDM is a joke. If you spend an hour playing it you will see the worst spawning system in any game, and exactly what he describes about insane camping. It's why I'm confused about DICE even focusing on adding it, doing it poorly, and constructing maps for this game type that wasn't handled well, and now we are left with shittier maps for the other game types as well.

I jokingly said ages ago that I would love to see BF CTF and I think it would have been better than the TDM they actually added.
Will be interesting to see the stats in a few months time and see how many games of Conquest Vs games of TDM.

I can tell you that this is the case with me, at least when manning the gunner seat of a tank.

The BF2 play 4 free version of karkland might be a good indicator as to how the BF3 B2k map pack might be.

That was only meant for 32 players. If they screw up the 64p version I will rage very much. This game will pretty much be finished in that case because the stock 5 flag maps suck.
I just looked at the minimap for the play4free version and they totally screwed karkand, the entire area past the bridge is gone and its just a linear set of flags. DICE is getting stupider each day.

Ok, What is this ? I don't even ...
Prone is awesome sauce. If you're a sniper, prone people = easy headshots. If you're an engineer, prone = perfect for sneaking up on tanks. If you play as assault prone is perfect for throwing down medpacks under fire. Finally, if you're playing support, prone is the bipod's BFF.
EDIT: Also, I REALLY REALLY liked the campaign. Beat it on hard, and it felt really easy, especially if you listen to your AI buddies. Rock and a hard place was such a good mission.

How far are you? It gets better. Nothing amazing but I enjoyed it for what it was. The first two missions suck but once you get past those it's much better until the final level. It's still the best campaign in the series.

If it is, they need to stick to what they know, because it's the antithesis of what makes a good CoD map. CoD maps work when they have excellent flow, multiple flanking routes to any position, and quick traversal.
Metro is a fucking line, the worst sort of DM map. Damavand has this issue as well, to a lesser extent.

If this were GameFAQS, I'd tell you to "get better noob !"
But this is NeoGAF, so ... "Open your eyes chap !"
Prone is not as bad as you make it out to be.
AngelSoldier said:
actually prone kinda sucks sometimes, when it enables/enhances abusing some collision bugs. I've seen guys in corners with nothing but their upper half of the body in the playfield, and people prone diving and shooting with amazing accuracy.
Its not rampant but it is funny how much I asked for prone and now it's like..."damn".
But as you imply, it might just take some adjustment (and bug fixing).

Yea I don't know why they don't do this. They could sell MP as a service more when it's the entire product.
EA needs to just release a multi only game for BF4. The single was atrocius, and I kinda feel like an idiot paying $60 for a game half of which I will never touch.
Anyway the multi is awesome when it works. I keep on getting connection errors. kicked out by admin, lost connection to server, blah blah blah

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
People complain too much...in beta everyone was bitching about dying too fast. now people are complaining they can't kill fast enough.
Love the new maps.
Now some complaining
- the rose needs to be fixed, can't tell whats highlighted.
- squad management needs to be streamlined
- flashlight is still too bright
- map is a little comfusing, everything has similar looking icons and colors.

Okay, I don't think I'll be flying helicopters anytime soon
Even with using the 360 controller on PC, I'm having some trouble controlling it (BC2 flying was definitely much better IMO). And as for flying the jet, it seems the controller makes me feel like a decent player, but I feel I can do better
I'll wait for joystick support before I fly another one

Don't laugh but I am playing the PC version with the 360 pad.
Pros
It's a pad and confortable.
Cons
On screen tips for button presses such as reloading and throwing grenades only shows keyboard controls.
Can't use pad for QTEs like in the opening mission. When being told to press [SPACE] which is infact jump I cannot press A (jump on the pad) and have to manually press the kb. Same for that first QTE where you are told to press Primary Fire (Left Mouse button). What's the point of supporting the pad if I have to stay close to my keyboard?

DICE removed it from BC2 for a reason. They were very vocal about their dislike for prone.

Co-op was better than singleplayer, so much better. Hopefully they add content there.
