Battlefield 3

nah, I see way too many of those to make me start wondering.

I am more concerned when I have to empty clips or SMAW guys twice to get a kill, but they come and handgun me with a suppressed weapon 1 or 2 shots.

This is starting to kill the game for me tbh.

Last night I played around with the Engineering kit a bit. I hit 2 guys, one repeatedly over the course of the match and they just run around the corner and shoot me in the face. I hit them with the SMAW in the face or at their feet it explodes and they just come back and mow me down. I gave up and let my laaitjie play. He took a Jet and didn't know how to fly, people where screaming and shooting the jet as it was just standing there :D

Agreed. Happened to me last night as well. Emptied a clip of my F2000 into a dude's back/head about 10m in front of me to have him turn around and shoot me what seemed like once in the head with a silenced M1911 :(

The other thing that is confusing the hell out of me is hit registering. I shoot at an enemy, git hit confirmation, yet when he kills me (it is the same guy I'm shooting at), he has 100% health?? Is my ping shocking or a hack? The guy did have deaths against his name, but a really good KD ratio....
 
Played against a few of you dudes last night for a couple of rounds on the RFH server! There were some awesome, hard fought battles. Operation Firestorm sticks out as one. I don't think I've done that much running between flags before! :D Take A, move to B, take B. A has been taken by the enemy. Run to A, take A. Run to D, gun fight, die. Spawn. Repeat :D
 
Really enjoyed my games yesterday afternoon!

Also agree with the hit reg being out. Like a shoot at a guy 10m away from me, I know for a fact I've hit, yet I die and it shows him on 100%?

Also agree with SMAW not being effective, I mean I've landed shots on people/right next to them and in reality the explosion would/should blow them to shres but yea. Otherwise fun game!
 
I have on a few occasion experienced some weird behaviours but I wont put this down to hacks. Maybe just bugs in the game. It happens too inconsistently to be a hack...unless I just haven't experienced it.

I've survived RPGs with 0% health twice now :p
 
Too many people call hacks when people well. It can take a few rounds to get up to speed.

I have noticed of late it can take an epic amount of bullets to kill people while they can turn 180 and headshot me in an instant, whether this is hacks or just lag I am sure but I reckon lag plays a big part

I wish I could put it down to hacks, I think its just me being really bad.

I've shot guys in the back only to have them do a 180 and kill me :(

I'm always playing with some lag. It's not the server though my line has been shyte for the past 2 weeks.

I don't care though I just play through it.

Playing this type of games online for a while and one can clearly see when something is done which just doesn't make any sense.

Lag, happens and you will see blood spatter but no hit register and so on. You can just see when something is off. I'm not saying look at scores as very good players can go 25-0 in a round. I'm talking about actual gun fights where you can see a person making a 180 deg turn and bam shoot you in the head one shot. Hidding in a spot no one ever knows. Person comes running straight at you from miles away and bam shoot you in the head. People shooting through walls as in they are in a building shooting out the back wall of the room to people on the other side of it and so on. You can spot these things, rarely but you will spot them when they happen.

Skill is one thing and no harm in that, even skilled people like Killa misses now and again :p

Meh.... I've never accused anyone ingame of hacking, and probably will never. There are definitely those that are though and I think we've possibly all had our encounters.... Sadly nothing unique and nothing else to do but just move on and keep playing :)

I keep trying to tell myself "it's just a game" :D
 
something I need to get over as Engineer is, when a tank rolls by me, don't just go and rocket the thing asap.

get the distance for the whole "arming" thing because I think that is where I always lose out.

last few times I have used my rockets now have been met with much success.
 
I'm sure that a lot of these weird "bugs" will get sorted out in due time.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to giving my A91 a good run, I haven't played in a few days and am starting to suffer withdrawal symptoms :D

Yup it has taken a good few bad rounds to figure out the limits and what i can get away with. Basically bf 2 style rocket attacks will fail so you need to be a bit different and find cover, it's very rare to catch tank on his own. I repair many tanks and i always see this one dude shooting all his rockets while i repair then it goes silent and we nail him running away because has no ammo left :D i also find hitting the tank head on is a little pointless unless you know others are hitting it.

One of the most important things i use is squad ammo because it gives you 8 plus 1 rockets. That depends on the squad though sometimes i use flak where possible. Does help when those bastard tanks find you :D

yeah most definitely... that one round of Grand Bazaar that we played the other day, I took out the APC quite nicely with well ranged attacks.

from there on I decided to try do that with tanks as well.

it does suck though for a TOW, because if you fire at a tank he will most likely see you, but ofc you can always let him pass and then fire :p

I am now trying to do that SOFLAM+Javelin+Jet thing cause that looks fun, but now to find a sniper that can SOFLAM for me :(
