Battlefield 3

I believe he meant chrome/firefox/internet explorer?

Anyone notice how gun game completely wrecks your loadouts?

On the whole close quarters thing, I think it brings a nice balance to the game... I usually start off with some close quarters then move onto some regular conquest.

as for hit reg, I find it is always the same guys who tank my shots... now I don't wanna call hacks but there is definitely some tweaking going on...
Thanks scooby. Ive been saying the same for a while now. Guys on the frontline in metro getting kd ratios of 100+ for 20 deaths? I call BS!!!! Pale as MF's that dont see sunlight.

I think the maps look great and the damage is very nice but agreed on the trapped rat syndrome. I can't see the teamplay element in it when you hardly even have time to throw meds or ammo, let alone say two words on VOIP to your teamies about the guy who spawn knobbed you from the place you'd just cleared 10 seconds before.

The other thing is that, while I have nothing against close combat like CQ (I was a long time Q2 player and loved it), BF3's game engine doesn't really excel in these close, close encounters and I think it's partially due to the client side hit detection. Incredibly frustrating when your shotgun at point blank mysteriously misses its target on occasion. Because of this, I find it hard to get into even just for the satisfaction factor alone because it aint there IMO. Sucks because I wanted it to be good but I just don't see myself around there for long unless they bring in vanilla conquest without random spawns etc.

Yeah teamplay element means just sticking together so you can get the next shot in after your teamie falls. Forget about reviving him unless you are absolutely sure its safe (although mostly I do revive and then get killed). Ammo packs /med kits rarely get a chance to use those

I've played a couple of days now since the launch and I think I'm already bored of the maps and gameplay. Must say I prefer the more expansive maps with vehicles which gives you 100 different ways to kill someone

Gunmaster is still fun - although I havent won yet.

The one major difference I have notices in CQ, compared to other maps, is the teams are generally more balanced. In the original maps (and B2K) you normally always find a server where teams are hugely unbalanced, or the top guys gang up on the noobs.
It must be because most premium players seem to have reached the colonel rank?

You are just upset because you cant repeatedly kill me (mostly because I dont have CQ :p)
I didnt think that map size would lend itself to the game though, it never really worked too well in a confined space.
 
Is close quarters worth it?

I'm winkyhead btw :P

Winkyhead...haha! There are some pearler wtf names in this game. Peed myself the other night at 'Crumpledwingskin'. :D

My opinion on CQ is that no, it's not worth it but having said that I don't know that buying premium wasn't worth it. Still got lots of content coming.


Rocket-boy, is that your in-game nick?

Can login but I get a message saying Origin offline :/

Yeah thats what happens on my main pc as well but i wanna install it on my sisters laptop but i cant login to origin on the laptop bec its my 1st time trying to login.
Im guessing they dont warn us about downtime etc...
 
Hey have you guys played on the MWEB server? Its amazing how many hackers get banned while playing, the other night it banned around 10 and that was just on one map. Their PB is obviously doing something right

Makes you wonder how many there are when playing on other servers..sigh

It might not be cheating bans, if your punkbuster is outdated or isn't working correctly it will kick you for punkbuster violations. The people might have been banned for cheating but they could have just been having punkbuster issues.
