I just wanted to pop in and say that this game on 360 runs great! I play about 3 hours a night without any issues.
So freaking fun!
that is all.
edit: i guess that is not true, 3 or 4 times it kicked me back to the main screen while searching for a sever, other then that I have never once been kicked from a game I was already in.

Ah I see. Yeah in Rush it makes sense, like switching sides in Search and Destroy when playing CoD.
On CQ it's simply annoying. No reason to have it there.

Cant remember the last time I got so frustrated and angry while playing a game.
I think im done with the recon, I dont like playing "sniper", I like moving around and spotting for my friends, between the ridiculous screen shake, not being able to stayed scoped because of the scope flair, eveyone using IRNV and killing me before i even see them, the inability to do anything against vehicles, etc.
Also why is the SV98 so underpowered, 75% damage, are you kidding?, even at short range it does the same damage, you get killed before you can pull out your gun to finish the job, thats how i used to do it in BC2 and it worked great.
End of rant, sorry

Finally getting into the multiplayer now that I have power again.
Stupid Noob Question: How do I change factions on the character customization screen? (360) I tried pressing basically every button, I'm obviously missing something huge.

You seriously need to be able to customize loadouts outside of a match. The current set up is ridiculous.

I would like to know this as well! I cannot find it and the only way I can customize my Russian character is in game if I am on that team.
seems weird.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Making the BF3.exe run as admin and making Origin run as Admin has fixed the issue of Battlefield has stopped working for me.
Before doing this I also timed the load time to get in Caspian Large Conquest at 63 seconds. After doing this I loaded Caspian in 25 seconds!!

Yea I meant in the my soldier menu. Seems stupid that I wouldn't be able to change my russian loadout. I'll try like holding Y when I'm back home.

I guess thinking back to bc2 on 360 you couldn't customize loadouts outside of the match, but there weren't three attachments per weapon and both sides had all weapons.

ITT: Shitty snipers admit to being shitty snipers.
Why are you firing the SV98 in close range when you should be using your pistol? Why are you sitting in a spot for the whole round when you should be moving?

What is the best way to practice jets and helicopters? Find an empty server? Also, can you use 360 controller to control these on PC but still use m/kb for everythign else?
Foliorum Viridum said:
I was mostly kidding, but you can't tell me you haven't played in a match where the majority of your team lays around in the upper floors of Seine while you and 2-3 of your teammates try and take zones or set mcoms.
That exact scenario played out in the example video posted.

Camping is going to happen no matter what equipment is in or out of the game. Odds are they're using the same scopes which only makes it easier to pick off people.belvedere said:
The scope takes out 90% of the skill in shooting - eg actually identifying a target. It should be heavily nerfed, if not removed.

Hmm, did you even read my post?, I mentioned I dont like camping, thats my issue, the recon class in this game feels like its designed to encourage camping, in BC2 i was able to run around and kill people at close range with the SV98 whenever i ran into someone during my runs. Now, the speed it takes to draw my pistol out is so slow that by the time its done with the animation, Im already dead, again, seems that I should be camping, thats why im giving up the Recon class.
Believe me, i gave it a chance, but eventually i just realized im not having fun with it.
Game just wants you to play with the overpowered Engineer, like everyone else is doing

I think I've used it twice after first unlocking it, so maybe I need to go back and play with it again, but it didn't seem like it instantly transformed me into super god like some suggest. I don't see how the attachment is useful other than looking for people hidden away. You're sure as hell not using it in the middle of a close quarters firefight, or in the heat of the moment. As far as it being used to unfairly identify targets, the same can be accomplished by spamming the spot button as far as I can tell. I realize there's campers, but there are those deadlock matches where nothing gets done because the majority of each team is hiding out in a corner, waiting for someone to walk by. If this sort of thing helps motivate those people to at least move around a bit, leave it in and give them a counter ability or something if they're that offended by it.

I'd say I get 50% more kills since I've started using it. I zoom in, look around a corner slowly and just pick off all of the orange that glows on my screen. These are people that, for the most part, would've had to fire a few shots or move for me to have seen them with any other scope.belvedere said:
It has nothing to do with people camping/defending or moving about - in EVERY instance it makes you 100% easier to spot. It's like if you were using a normal scope there was a big red flashing arrow pointing over your head. I only started using it because I was getting picked off too easily compared to the first week when barely anyone used it.

They (thankfully) removed one-hit body kills with the sniper rifles, whereas they were possible in BC2. Game is better for it.

There is always "hardcore", hehe, i think when i feel like playing as a sniper i will just play hardcore, i tried it yesterday and it is a 1 hit kill with the SV98 even at long long range, when I want to play conquest normal i will just stick with the engineer.
Maybe I will come back to normal as a recon once i unlock the IRNV for the SV98.
You don't see the benefits of having all the graphical distractions removed when you're aiming, and having the enemy stick out far more than they do otherwise. IRNV is so OP and needs to be nerfed.derFeef said:

You don't need zoom when you can see everyone perfectly fine, and the FOV makes no difference as you don't need to be perma-scoped.
This is what it looked like in beta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyYNAldXmP4

For me it's not so much about being overpowered as the fact it changes the dynamic of the game. It becomes a twitch thing, whereas before I was a player who enjoyed going prone and sneaking around etc. That's not possible now.Raide said:It looks like an FPS where players remove all the textures etc to make players stand out.
The more players try it out, the more it will get used, so it feeling OP should lessen with time.

Well I like to hide in bushes in Caspian and I've been picked off easily which should be impossible unless someone is right on top of me or I get a shot off, so yeah, it impacts the bigger maps too.Raide said:
The range on it isn't infinite so there is a limit, but the range is too much.
