I used to feel the same way until I tried sniping myself. There's definitely a skill to it.
TBH I get killed much more by the other three classes then by snipers.

Assault. After so many kills with the M320GL you'll unlock smoke rounds

And this is something that happens on all 1st person shooters because they keep putting the player's camera on top of the character head.
But what really gets to me is the models laying down on a corner with half the body inside the wall...
I might switch back to Recon once I get a decent universal unlock for a weapon, I don't really have much of a desire to play as a sniper. In bf2142 I almost exclusively rolled with that SMG they got, and in BFBC2 I always used the semi-auto snipers so I could be up front tossing motion mines.
But apparently I've run into some sort of bug... anyone have any idea why I'd be getting horrific mouse input lag? Like, my view will literally lag behind my mouse movements sometimes, its awful.
I've turned down all my graphical detail to no avail and turned on/off raw mouse input, neither seem to work. Any ideas?
Here is an awesome video of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XCY7QL7YOU&feature=related
And yes I've tried switching Raw on/off

Is there a 360 friends list for BF3? I know most of you guys are master racing it up but I only got it on 360 and no one ever uses a mic. This is totally a game I want to play with a full squad, all with mics, getting shit done.

Internet went from 3.5mb to 37mb today.
To celebrate, I whored the tank on Peak.

The Killcam is fine... what is your problem with it?

Why would a support not be using one of their awesome weapons like the M249?

I guess I'll mess with vsync and raw input settings when I get home. From looking around the net on different forums, it looks like this has been an issue since Alpha.
I really want that PDW-R, looks badass. Too bad you don't get it till like level 30 (not a fan of how they did these new rank unlocks...)
I can't believe you PC people are complaining. I had some amazing games on 360 today, many people spotting, reviving, health packs, ammo and so much teamwork. it was actually probably the best time i had playing bf3. the IRNV didn't even seem that imbalanced as i thought before. only complaint as that spotting is too easy with the IRNV i was doing loads basically felt like recon when playing assault. and too many rockets.
rush btw. rush was designed for consoles and thats why theres some really good console rush matches.

There are so many empty servers right now. Just about every server in my favs list is empty
or not even half way full. They are usually filled up all day/every day....
I guess people were able to get MW3 early or something?
Edit: Jesus...I just did a search for NA Conquest with no other options selected and man are there a BUNCH of empty servers and not many people playing. wtf

Depends on where the server/playerbase is located, some places of the world are already getting MW3, plus it's monday, lot of us stuck at work.

I've been playing full matches on the console all morning long. Taking a break now actually.

Maybe some folks actually work during the day
I definitely expect a bunch of folks to go over to MW3 - it only makes sense. I also expect a bunch of them will return eventually. Not that BF3 is better - haven't played MW3 yet -but because BF3 offers a different experience.

Only the 2nd week of the game being out, it's hard to judge how things will be normally for it. And with most games, lot of servers die off after initial release as players find new servers they like to play on, and the launch week rush is done as players start to play less and in some cases move onto other games. Tons of servers are up and full up
Exactly how many week days have we had since bf3 released? It's not like I dont know what a work day is.commish said:Maybe some folks actually work during the day

They will be back of course. There is this weird mentality that MW3 will launch perfectly balanced with zero issues but that wake up call will ring soon enough for them. Some folks just want to be dolphin diving camping snipers and thankfully, they won't be back. But I will miss their easy kills.
Just a little weak. I prefer the M39 with suppressor, foregrip, and holosight. Shoots just a bit slow for my taste, but still pretty boss.njean777 said:
The G3A3 is pretty damned boss once you get the suppressor for it. Before it kicked like a mule, even if you could get enough punch into it, but with the suppressor it's soooo much smoother. Only downside is that you can't do much about longer range engagements. I'm 25 kills til the 6x scope, so I'm gonna get to that, throw on the heavy barrel and bipod, and start sniping peeps. :3

Yup, BF3 will get better starting Tuesday. As a BF3 player, I'm seriously stoked and welcome MW3's release.

On the topic of the MAV, can anyone fill me in on a peculiar function I've noticed it has. I understand that you can see enemy equipment lit up white (spawn beacons, T-UGS, etc), however I found that -- against some, not all -- of the enemy equipment, if I keep the centre of the crosshair fixed on it for a short duration, a flashing 'lock-on' square appears, accompanied by some beeping. If I then keep locking on, eventually it switches to a fixed (ie. non-flashing) square lock-on and shortly afterwards the equipment explodes! And I get points for destroying enemy gadgetry.
Question then: for practical purposes, is there a restriction on what sorts of enemy equipment this works against, or are the few times I've not been able to target a white box simply a kicker from the game's little quirky bugs? (Or, could it be that I'm unwittingly targeting a friendly, say, T-UGS?) And for simply curious purposes, what the fuck is my MAV actually doing to the equipment from several dozen metres in the air to make it go pop?
Oh, and on the topic of nothing in particular, I'm struggling to figure out what the warriors&wizards-esque fantasy game equivalent of the Support class is. Assault is a Cleric I suppose. Engineers I feel are sort of Wizards (or should be, except their primary weapons are too effective at mid-range). Recon are Rangers. Support are.... dunno. I'm buggered if I can think of a reasonable archetype that fits their resupply / suppressing fire role.

On non-hardcore i want to see the actual stand off, something like the 5 seconds before your death. What is the point of showing your opponent just sit there or just running around after they killed you, its not like this game has viewable customization of your character other than the basic skins you unlock.
Battle recorder cant come soon enough.

It's meant to show off where he is to try and reduce camping if hes going to just stay in one spot and not move after killing a person. That is the point of killcams. You want an instant replay that you get with COD.
