When I first started playing, I thought that was the medic and the emblem with the bullets was the assault.. Was very surprised when I fount out I was playing support :eek:

Lol

Engineer is the best class imo. Plenty of RPGs :p:D

Assault, Support and Engineer can all be used as a frontline attacking unit tbh.

Just played that for the first time. Absolutely painful. The only way you can break past deployed LMGs is with RPGs and nades. I hate that part of metro on rush, let alone the centre point of conquest!
 
I'm sorry, but there have been more than enough times over the past 48 hours where I have dived for cover only to have the wall, pallet, fence, car, truck, pipes etc etc get blown apart or whittled away.

If it was any more pronounced it would be game breaking, you have to have some cover availabe in a game like this or the tickets woulkd bleed away in a couple of minutes.

I think I've used the Engineer all day on conquest maps, having to hide and nuke tanks all the time. Also fun healing your tank in a tank war and getting lots of repair points :D
 
The destruction is there, but it's extremely limited compared to BC2. There are far more walls than not that you simply can't blow down.
It seems to be a lot more cosmetic in nature, but what effects there are, is more realistic still. I quite like it.
When you fight indoors, you are reminded of the lobby scene in The Matrix - devastation everywhere, with chunks knocked away from the walls and the pillars, and the rubble stays on the floor all the way through the match.
 
That stealth upgrade for jets is getting annoying, it already takes a good while to lock stingers onto them, with that it takes roughly double the time. Couple that with the stupidly fast countermeasure reload and even if you wait till they pop their flares by the time you reacquire the target and fire your stinger (which barely potters along) they already have flares ready to get rid of it.. You pretty much need a rocket equipped tunguska or rocket equipped lav to deal with jets that have stealth, the cannons on them barely qualify as laughable and are only of use when a helicopters is playing teabag the AA vehicle.

Finally had an uninterrupted blast at BF3 with no crashes :) love being the medic or what ever it is called now. One thing, I feel like I'm a great medic ;) and usually am at the top, however no one else is and they all suck at it lol Medic's should hang back revive people, dish out their med-packs and get the occasional kill.
Another thing, I think people really under estimate how much of a team game BF is, the amount of times I spawn at a base and see others drive off on their own, even though you are running towards them! It's just common sense, to wait, load up, then move in as a team.
Oh well, still all good fun (once it is working)

I'm finding assault is the best class for me also.

Kitted out with:

Underslung Grenade launcher
Defib
Flack perk

Best class for US on Metro as well, gives you chance to fight back properly.
 
I need some tips people! I haven't played any of the previous BF's but have played all of the UT and Quake games to a fairly decent level for a number of years so I'm no FPS nub. However, I'm shockingly bad at BF3. I can't tell where the enemies are (should I be using my map?) and I'm not really clear on what the 4 different roles do, or rather how they should be played.

Anywayone have advice for me? Cheers.

The bad guys are the ones in a different uniform to the one you are wearing.

Assault can kill and revive but is ineffective against armor.

Support resupplies ammo, delivers suppressing fire and morter support after a while.

Recon, spots, and offers long range support and counter sniper work.

Enginer has medium range assault weapons, and is anti armor.

If you just want to get stuck in, and cant get your head around each classes support roles, just pla as an engineer and get stuck in to everything.
