I've been getting shot behind cover through rocks and walls a lot today, more than usual.

Try being killed by someone who hasn't even appeared in front of you yet, Happened to me I was walking towards a doorway. I got killed, showed the killcam and the player hadn't even entered the doorway yet then he did

Had such a bad session.

Almost all the team was noob. Didn't even last the first part of the map lol !!

Yep, was a pretty bad round that one.

Has anyone noticed that sometimes players seem to be running in a lean position, as if they will be falling to either to left or right.

Another way to imagine this is as if they are running on a steep diagonal slope

Yeah ive noticed that mainly in the spawn menu, they always seem to be keeled over in one direction, once you spawn they straighten up right away.

Yeah, i got in for a quick round before dining, managed to get a few kills. Gonna have another blast in a bit.

I found this pretty amusing. Seems like DICE's intentions were good once upon a time. Maybe because this was written before EA bought them out.

Neil79 · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:22

Good spot

Fr0dders · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:24

to be fair to DICE

Conquest mode isn't a tunnel game.

Some like the tunnel game, which is why metro and other rush maps will be there. But you don't have to play rush if you don't want to.

This is also my first proper BF game where my interest has surged a lot!!

This game is definitely very different from the likes of cod or cs source in that it requires strategy to complete objectives and you can't just run in the open.

It is a objective + team play based game like how it should be anyway.

K/D is in the game but more emphasis is on completing the objectives and that is where satisfaction and fun is gained.

Caspian border is where we felt the essence of this game while op metro is more of a infantry fighting based map and doesn't reflect the core of this game.

Mines the best it been for any online MP game ever.

There are so many prone campers, supposedly attacking, in that first area that once you've taken out a couple in the bushes around the circular wall near mcom A and the two snipers behind the big rocks. You only have to move forward as far the game allows and kill them as they respawn. Or move down the lefthand side of the map from the defenders side and mop them up from behind as they all look at both mcom sites waiting for someone else to arm it.

This is why, noob shooting in BF3, no recoil full auto. The gun mechanics are laughable at best.

Snipers, as always, need to die in a fire. Pathetic nabs.

I just crawl in the bushes, and pop out when I see a few scrubs camping on a rock, a number of time I have actually banged heads with the enemy as they are crawling in that same bush, funny as ****.

You might want to check your dates, EA have been in charge of Dice for a long while... they own the BF series.

They finally bought them out in 2005.
