Battlefield 3 |OT| My Body is Advised

It really sucks getting in a jet when there's either a better pilot on the other team, or a AA somewhere constantly shooting at you. I have yet to make a single kill in a jet, but every time I take off (min you, I'm also not a really good pilot yet) I get locked on as soon as I approach the battlefield. And I have no flares, so I immediately have to bail out. 
I probably should join a more empty server sometime.

It took me...*sobs* 20 jet sessions to reach 300 points for the flares. While you all were on the ground blowing shit up and having fun I was jumping into a jet and getting shot down ad naseum.
got 150ish kills already with the UMP45 but it does feel very weak at a distance, especially against the assault rifles (i.e. I hit them 4 times, they turn around and insta shoot me goddamn F2000 )
IR vision is crazy good though on rifles/machine guns ( <3 Pecheneg <3 ), but it lacks zoom for the bolt-action sniper. I'll see how it does on the SKS sniper once I unlock it (70 kills to go)

If the engine permits, it'd just be best to make it only work in dimly lit areas. If not, I reckon it'd be better to add crazy recoil and sway to it so it's almost useless in full auto. Like the thermal scope in MW2. Also, even longer to go into and come out of aimed view.
Make it more of a spotting tool that's very difficult to shoot with.

The UMP takes 8 bullets at long distance which is fair enough I reckon considering it's an SMG. It just needs to be buffed back to 3 bullets at point blank range, as does the PP2000. The PP2000 needs a slight range damage increase too I think. 10 bullets is a bit extreme, 8-9 would be fairer taking into account the 20 mag size as standard.

I've got an early flight to Canada tomorrow morning. May just stay up all night playing

That's it, that was the last crash for me. Also it was a crash to desktop with the "bf3 has stopped working " error, the last fucking time that happened after 40min of playing and scores and points and shit that just vanish after the crashes. Ain't touching this anymore until it's fixed. God damn irony, RO2 is more stable than this.
Can't believe it has gotten worse after the supposed "fixes" they made.

I can't believe how awful the singleplayer campaign is. Like, you can't be serious with this shit. AI squadmates stand there shooting endlessly at bad guys they cannot hit, not getting shot at, and the moment I raise my head every enemy on screen targets me. You aren't allowed to take out enemies in an area until you progress forward enough to trigger something that allows you to kill enemies in that structure, etc. I've lost count of the number of times I look through my scope and see an AI squadmate and bad guy standing five feet away from each other, shooting at each other, not doing any damage, waiting for me to kill that bad guy.

i've not noticed that, I thought the campaign was pretty sweet so far. are you playing on console? maybe i just got lucky and didnt see anything like that yet.
i mean if we're talking modern FPS games, with the exception of Halo the campaign in BF3 seems pretty much standard compared to CoD, bad company etc
edit: infact thinking about it the campaigns in MoH and BF3 are better than most

Destruction 2.0 feels more like D-0.5.
Major step back from BC2. Is just a cosmetic thing now.
I get stuck with a tank in Grand Bazar because I can't destroy a pile of blankets and house carpets. Pathetic.

If the game wasn't broken for me and I had bc2 installed aswell, I would make an objective comparison showing that if anything the destruction is a step up from bc2. But alas the game chokes and dies instead and I can only sit here and sob.

Yeah a video would be cool.
I know the D2.0 looks better and has more detail and fragmentation but it seems to play less of a roll on game play.
And, has I pointed out, there are a lot of object that are not destructible, that don't even react.
This isn't game breaking by any means. I just feel a little cheated after all the PR about D2.0.
I was expecting more.
dino1980 said:So frustrating when you get constant "Battlefield 3 stopped working" message. The game in this state for me is unplayable?
Have you guys got access to the Karkland expansion maps? I havent yet and I bought the LE version.
I think the Karkland maps come out in december?
SilverBullet said:
I also get the feel that it might play lesser role, but as I've said before I don't think this is inherently because of the new system being worse, rather that the massive maps don't rely on CQC as much as bc2 with its smaller maps.
Yea this is annoying
I agree, I too was expecting abit more.

None of those fixes address "bf3.exe has stopped responding", nor do any of them appear to make it happen more often. You shouldn't be losing anything you gained during that period, although it won't remember changes you've made to your loadouts. When I crash out like that I still get a battle report from the map/server I was on.
As far as destruction goes I think they've made the right decisions. On maps where the landscape directs the flow of an engagement you can level most buildings. On maps where the buildings themselves direct the flow you can only bring down facades. I don't believe people who want more are really thinking about what that would do to the gameplay, or simply don't care.

I played it on the PS3 too and what you said is simply not true. Sure there are a couple of occasions where it seems like your squadmates do nothing at all but more often than not they are taking most of the fire from the enemies and are killing them at a good rate (except maybe for those scenarios where you are supposed to support them by flanking the enemies). But even than it's not that bad. I played through the campaign on hard and during the whole playthrough there were only around 3 moments where i thought that the game was unfair.

TheNamelessOne said:
Wow. I think this might have worked for me. 1 for 1 on not crashing when loading into a new server. I'll keep an eye on it and update later.
I hope this is the fix I've been looking for. This is the only problem I've had with the game so far. Something simple like changing to run as Admin does the trick that will be great.

I could deal with what seemingly feels less destruction if so many of those smaller objects that don't react weren't so frequent. I've been stopped in a tank a few times by poles etc that should crumble beneath you.SilverBullet said:

THIS sucks.
Try RUSH on Operation Firestorm. It's 1 Frogfoot agains 1 A-10. I got my first unlocks there.

Battlelog is stuck on "Joining Server" no matter which server I pick after the update.
Closing and opening my browser fixed it, seemingly.

While im enjoying all the new maps, they still lack distiction to keep it interesting. For example in BC2 each map had totally different look and feel with jungle, desert and snow settings.
And the LAV should be used more as a vehicle. I've only noticed it in Seine crossing and Kharg

Agreed. It really makes me want to put some of my ideas on the Get Satisfaction site, if they really do listen to the feedback. We should have/track a list of GAF requests so we can rep them.
As a server browser, Battlelog is already miles ahead of anything DICE has put out in the past. And then you have the stat tracking/social aspect...
MrOogieBoogie said:
Really depends on your playstyle. For close range, absolutely. I don't even think accuracy decreases (at all), just bullet speed, and the damage only decreases at long range. For med-long range, can depend on the weapon. M4A1 at long range with suppressor is basically useless, can take 6-8 shots to kill someone.

God I hate how most servers have you play two rounds of every map. That's like 40 minutes on one map.
It annoyed me in BC2, but I only played that casually so not too much. After 24hrs already invested in this game I just want to get on to the next map.
What's the mentality behind it? Most maps are balanced in such a way that you don't gain an advantage from spawning on one side of the map as apposed to the other. BF is the only franchise I've ever played where they repeat maps in such a way.
