Battlefield 3 Mythbusting
I'm not a fan, but I get killed by it a lot.
Fav weapons so far:
M4A1 w/holo, foregrip, and heavy barrel or suppressor (depending on situation): great ROF, absolutely destroys at close-mid range. Seems to lose a lot of power at long range--~6 shots to kill
SCAR-H w/holo, foregrip, and heavy barrel or suppressor: beast at close range and heavy barrel is manageable at close/mid. Never been a fan of using SCAR at range, so it's not an issue for me
A-91 is getting up there--I feel like it's just a step away from being OP because of ROF and decent damage, but it's not the beta UMP or anything. Can't wait to try out the SG553, need to tear myself away from MP.
Not really seeing the point of the flash suppressor. Hides your flash, but decreases accuracy in single and auto fire? They really should have just made it so it hides your flash, because it doesn't have enough advantages over a regular suppressor, which increases bullet drop and has slight damage decrease at range, but also decreases recoil.

Has anyone experimented with the video settings to see whether toning down the settings to low would give an edge in multiplayer? For example, I read somewhere that lowering smoke to low helps with visibility which is interesting because smoke is one of those things that always obstructs my view. Or has the game been programmed in such a way as to be fair regardless of what settings you use?
So far, I've tried toning down the terrain decoration from high to low and it doesn't seem to have much of an effect. I could be wrong on this but I'm too lazy to try to do some kind of direct A/B comparison.
Anyone?

You can probably turn down effects quality to improve your visibility, terrain stuff doesn't change though.

I usually play as Recon with an 870 while on the smaller maps, using the beacon to keep the squad close to objectives and the motion sensor mainly for defensive purposes.
This tactic works great for defending the first B mcom on Seine Crossing. You can play this with a sniper rifle as well, placing the beacon in the garage across from B and the motion sensor at the door near the attackers spawn and go prone on the container above B and snipe through the hallway.

Got my first Squad Wipe ribbon. The first squad i wiped out were trying to cap B on Damavand, and i got the drop on all of them. ran out of ammo by the 4th guy (SCAR-H clip :<) so managed to shank the Assault before he could revive his friends.
The second wipe was funny shit. I mined the tunnel entrance and a tank comes rolling in, stops short of the mines, clearly noticing them. I fire off a rocket at it just as a jeep decides to drive past the stationary tank, setting off my mines as the rocket hits the tank. 2 disables, 2 vehicle kills, 6 actual kills. Battlefield moment!
Fucking loving engineer. The SCAR-H is beast and options for both ground and air vehicle countermeasures.

Its pretty clear that what they wanted out of the Recon class was for it to camp and just camp, at that point they should have just called it a sniper. It was way easier to be more productive to your team as a recon in BC2, i miss the radar balls so bad, why does it have to be such a pain in the ass to deploy the T-UGS and once its deployed its almost useless, faint beep and target appear for like .10 of a second.

I guess. I personally like it but I do more dm stuff..may not be the best for conquest or rush if that's what you are primarily playing. It is a relatively low damage gun I think.

Dont worry about KD. Worry about points and doing goals, arming/disarming, defending and taking flags. KD is unimportant in this game, and you can get far more points and have far more fun doing side stuff as well. The only thing about kills is that they are needed to unlock weapon addons.

If they gave recons back the throwable motion sensors it would be far better. tugs is pretty weak by comparison.

The A-91 is great, but it looks so ugly that I don't really want to use it. Even worse with that cobra sight on top. I hope the G36 is just as good, that thing is a beauty.

I just bought the game, so I don't know a lot about it. But why the fuck is it that when I just take off with my jet, I hear something cracking and I can't control it anymore. Or barely. What causes this? (When I wait 10 sec, I can control it again though.)

I've had a fair number of WTF I DEPLOYED IT deaths, but I think half of these are me thinking that I'm still playing BC2 and that I can not only insta-deploy my chute, but a three story jump won't kill me.
AFAIK, there's a longer "minimum fall distance" before it deploys, and it's not an instant safety blanket--it takes a moment for the chute to fully deploy, so if you jump three stories and "deploy" five feet from the ground, you're still going to be fucked up. Whereas in BC2, it would just instantly pop out and save you.
I use the stairs a lot more now.
post here and +1 the post so it bumps the priority

Yeah, it is pretty fucking ugly.
Not a fan of the G36 in this compared to alpha/beta. Feels a bit nerfed. Something just feels "off". I went back to the M4/SCAR after trying it out.

Like I posted earlier, I think the A-91 feels far too light and under-powered compared to the SCAR-H. Takes more shots to down enemies. Not a fan.
I spent a few hours yesterday on the Canal map .. and it's actually really good. One of my favorites actually.
It's actually awesome. Especially 3 round burst. With the 3 round, once you get the clicking rhythm down it's really deadly. Except for long ranges, my god it takes a lot to kill someone at 100m+. They really need to buff the assault class to have less damage drop off with distance.

All the other guns are terrible compared to the M416/AEK971 Master Race.... : /

I'd also like to know the answer to this. It doesn't happen right when I take off. My jet will shudder a little bit like it's been hit by a rocket. I can rotate but I can't nose up or down so I can't turn at all. I'm still at 100% health and everything goes back to normal after 5-10 seconds...eravulgaris said:

Interesting, I'll have to give the M4 a shot. All I'd heard from people until you was that it was useless.

The problem is, when I pull the trigger like 2-3 times, it seems like it's shooting full auto... I think it's due to lag or something?

Yeah the SCAR has treated me good thus far so I'll probably stick with it for a while.
Another thing that annoys me is that when you have the AEK with the underslung grenade launcher the hand of the player wont grip the gun, it's floating slightly underneath and it looks pretty bad. Hopefully they can patch that.

Really need to grind co-op, so jealous right now.
Anyone notice the DICE-employee only stuff? So far it looks like:
-Ballistic scopes for assault/carbines/shotguns
-Suppressor for shotguns
-Flash hider for sniper rifles
-M1911 w/tac light and suppressor
eravulgaris said:
Yeah, I've noticed that too. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's annoying.
And I never knew people considered the M4 to be useless... maybe I'd do even better with a different weapon? I don't think I'll change though. I'm in love.

They plan on buffing pistols? Why?
I've found myself tearing shit up with just pistols.
