Lol, Raven whines on every page in this thread about 3D spotting and get paranoid about people stalking him.

LOL

He is, he tracked me down on EAUK forums.

Look I'm passionate about all things BF and I'm concerned with what I'm seeing, I'm simply discussing a feature of the game that really does spoil gameplay.

That's your explanation sorry but other alpha players on other forums ' and as seen in vids ' say it's exactly the same, again if it is not the same tell me how.

Go back in the thread and LOOK, its been explained MULTIPLE times. ffs.

Tracked you down? Because seeing a person with the name raven1001 whining about the same things you are took an awful lot of detective work.

What do people think of Origin?

Its like steam with less games? It works and does what it says on the tin but it's just another icon in your task bar

We the community have looked in depth at BF3 spotting and concluded it's the same as BC2 after an in depth analysis, I have seen nothing in this thread to show otherwise.

Well then you're obviously blind or just ignore what people that have actually PLAYED the thing are telling you.

well played it abit more and its growing on me . spotting is less of an issue now but can be a pain .. the apc is way to fast and powerfull . most matches dont progress past the first 2 points . the stand on the suport gun is a pain .. just turn it off in the options . will play some more and give my opinions!!

RavenXXX2 · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:55

From our analysis we have concluded that the 3D spot follows the spotted player through all cover and does not go static or go away when the enemy takes cover. This is reports from players and checking alpha footage leaked on youtube. I can't see how anyone can claim it's different when there is visual proof showing otherwise.

Care to explain why it is less of an issue?

But we get the point?

Why do you feel a need to destroy this thread because DICE is not bending to your requests?

If you really care, do something about it. Form a group that will be pursuing a change, write a petition to DICE/EA, be an activist who does and not only talks.

But, please, leave this monotonic ******** out of this thread because it's simply boring and doesn't add anything new to the discussion or solve any problems.

And if you REALY feel like persuading other Forum members to change their stance on this issue, create your own thread about it so that those that want to discuss, will have a chance to do it outside of the general thread.

Getting a few freezes while playing now, bc2 has a few issues with punk buster and afterburner, possibly the same here.

Update PB and disable Afterburner, then?

Where exactly are you quoting this from?

House · 24 Jul 2011 at 15:01

Getting past the first 2 mcoms is hard as attackers, the apc and using it right is the factor, if you push hard and fast it's doable but if your team camp up and go for kills 2 or 3 people attacking will just get there k/d slaughtered.
By the way win loss needs to be on battle log it's the only stat I really care about and people like me who hit the objectives obviously die more than somebody laying in a bush

Gerard · 24 Jul 2011 at 15:02

Its a very hard map to win as Attacker, i think ive only been in the end battle in the City 3 times so far.

Got something better to discuss? We got conflicting reports about a feature in BF3, that not worth discussing in the BF3 thread. Really I'm not seeing many enthusiastic BF fans in here, there is far better debate on other BF3 forums with community that actually care to debate things, just saying.

Edit out the swear, you got bad language privileges or something.

So because you're the only one here raging about a feature that isn't yet finalised, nobody else cares? I think most are prepared to wait and see what comes in the beta, its not like 3d spotting is some cast in stone feature that couldn't be easily changed.

RavenXXX2 · 24 Jul 2011 at 15:17

Fair enough you don't want to discuss I'll take it elsewhere.

I like 3d spotting..

Dont see anything wrong with it.. Helps you work as a team together pointing out enemies and vehicles

The hardcore option is already there in bc2 with no spotting/ 1 shot kills (which i dont like and prefer vanilla)

Im sure they have server options for 3d spotting? Simply find a server with this feature off..

mountaincow · 24 Jul 2011 at 15:26

What is the server browser like? I suppose there are ways of filtering servers by specific options that are turned on/off?

BC2 only has filters for hardcore, full/empty and game mode, which makes it a pain to find servers with spotting turned off that are not hardcore.
