I love this game.
Also, my new favorite kit on larger maps is recon, running with SKS, foregrip and silencer, strategically placing spawn beacons behind enemy lines. It's a blast.

If you guys can get 3 people, then hop on my server. 3 people are all you need to begin the round. http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/8.17.250.201:19567/
Also if GAF server is full, you guys are welcome to hop on to my sever. 32player 16v16.

You just have to restart the level you are on so you will lose maybe 20-30 minutes progress tops if you do lower it.alr1ghtstart said:
It doesn't appear that you can increase back though once you have lowered it.

Well, just spent three hours playing the PS3 version even though I swore I wouldn't buy this game after the craptastic beta... Anyway, the single player campaign is pretty boring stuff so far. The game couldn't be anymore linear and you really can't deviate much from the route without getting that five seconds to get back to the combat area warning. On the plus side, the graphics are fairly good and so are the sounds.
The multiplayer is definitely improved from the beta. I personally didn't notice any big problems with sluggish controls like some people have reported. The graphics are not that great but at least the screen tearing isn't as annoying as it was in the beta and the framerate seems to be decent most of the time.
And big fucking surprise I was on the losing team every single time even though I did fairly well myself. I always have the worst team mates when I play with randoms... Arghhhh..

I'd like to try that out, especially need to work on helicopter flying. It makes no sense to me on the controller.(not using kbm for flying stuff)

Final thoughts on SP:
We all know SP is pretty awful, but even so, I wanted to give some thoughts about it, in general I think is a better experience than BC2 SP, but I have been thinking: why?, it dosn't makes anything in the gameplay department that puts it above BC2:
- AI is equally bad on both (I'm almost sure is basically the same).
- Level design is really bad, they almost share the same awful setpieces (boring tank mission, boring sniping section, boring turret sections, etc...)
So I think the reason why is..., presentation, BF3 is truly a decent ride, while BC2 was quite dull in that department, yeah plot is incredible idiotic, but it manages to be fun to look at, it also helps a lot the visual department, BF3 graphics manages to create from mediocre gunfights a thing to behold, for example, Paris mission with all the particles and destruction added with incredible lightning is an spectacle.(It's not like there are much more moments like this, most of the time graphics can't help the game at all)
It's a shame, beacuse with proper effort could have been an amazing experience, right now is painful to play, but fun to watch.
The good:
- Jet mission when BF3 theme kicks in, DAT GRAPHICS!.
- Jumping from a plane, then BF3 theme kicks in, DAT GRAPHICS!.
Note that neither of those two, the player has a direct input of what's happening, but still the best moments of the game.
The Bad:
- Level design, IA,.....well almost all the SP is pretty bad.
- A QTE to open a FUCKING DOOR!?, really DICE?!

Yeah the more realistic graphics do a good job of blending character and environment. Making it somewhat difficult to identify enemies. It slows down the pace of the game a bit since running and gunning is made less effective for that reason. You really have to observe and be aware of your surroundings.

Don't squad leaders get air strikes too? Haven't heard much about that feature.outsida said:

Try using spot. A lot. If there's someone out there, you can spot them even if you can't really see them, if you're aimed at their general area. Sometimes, I'll scan an area back and forth and spam the spot button to see if anyone is lurking.zero margin said:
What is realistic about a blue filter, constant shit in your eyes, completely black shadows, completely white objects in the sun, and huge lens flare from a 40 watt bulb? Functioning in everyday life would be impossible with BF3's lighting.iam220 said:
I do that too, but I shouldn't have to to see someone from 50 meters away. Don't want to miss the black speck in the completely black shadow or the glowing white blob mixed in with the other glowing white blobs.Union Carbine said:

Yep, that's me. Thanks Snrub.
Is anyone else disappointed with the destruction? DICE touted destruction as being this huge leap forward in BF3, and yet it feels almost like a direct copy of BC2's destruction.
I remember DICE saying they limited building destruction in order to keep gameplay balanced, which might be true, but I wish they would create a server-side option that allows server admins to allow the entire level (buildings included) to be completely destroyable.

Enjoy it while it lasts. That's gotta be getting nerfed sometime in the near future.DMeisterJ said:

The one thing that is there now that was not before is debris damage. Before you could be hit by flying debris and no harm. Now you actually can get hurt by small chips of stuff flying around.
But I agree with you somewhat. While they toned it down for balance I guess, that was one of the viable strategies before, level a building so defenders cant use it, or level a building so offense can't use it. Or level a whole area of trees to deprive the attackers of cover.
I remember in BC2 the snow map where you come down the hill to the refinery, it was always a race to make it down and take the first point using the trees before the defenders flattened the trees and you were widely exposed.
Or Arica Harbor first attack point, leveling those two buildings in the middle from which the defenders could easily spot and destroy tanks.
If nothing else it seems inconsistent. On one map a type of building (like a small shack) is destroyable, then on the next map, the same geometry building is not. I feel like they picked destroyables more on location on map than on actual appearance/structure which is weird.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
The graphics look like they went through a bleach pass. I hate them, and it ruins the fun atmosphere that the BF games used to have. It's a major reason I haven't bought the game yet.Cobra84 said:
