CoD has crappy shooting mechanics, what are you smoking?

oldbag · 6 Nov 2011 at 16:44

I'm sure i unlock stuff on this game and go back and I no longer have it.

I'm talking about the aiming/firing of guns, I guess you disagree but it just feels better in CoD, and tbh that is the reason it's so popular.

Shooting mechanics are decent, but then not as good as CoDs (sorry but it's true).

Lolwut. CoDs just go in a straight line with no recoil. I, for one, love all the unlocks. It is addicting

Feels better for people with no control maybe.

Classic, gotta love dem fanbois.

Unlocks might be cool when your 12, but I'd rather just play the game without playing it like an RPG for the first 100hours.

I HATE the tac light! Drives me mad! lol

I cant get my 360 Wireless pad working, its just dosn't work, i turn it on before i launch the game and still nothing...

Anyone got any ideas?

Have you downloaded and installed this Thats the first thing.

I'm assuming you have the reciever you can't use a plug and charge. Have you used the pad before or is it new? I'm not implying you dont know any of this just starting at the basics.

someone posting quick leveling on TDM, I find the same, much quicker to rack up points on TDM.

Have changed my mind on what jostick i will get. Going to go for the Cyborg Fly 5 instead of the logitech 3d pro. Hopefully it is in argos tomorrow when i go, if not it will probably take a week

Can someone tell me why I cant spawn on squad members?

Im sure I used to be able to, but the last few matches I've played I haven't been able to spawn on my squad. I thought maybe it might be a server option, but other people were spawning on me?!

Is this a bug, or can you only spawn on others in certain situations?

happens to me sometimes, really annoying!

I think some servers have spawn on squad leader only enabled.

Gzero · 6 Nov 2011 at 17:13

Classic mode?

Deific · 6 Nov 2011 at 17:13

Getting really peed off with the netcode. It is the single worst I have ever experienced in any game.

Efour · 6 Nov 2011 at 17:13

Getting pretty boring now... looking forward to MW3

Speedy Pete · 6 Nov 2011 at 17:14

netcode seems fine for me, then again ive normally got a heavy and shoot atleast 50+ bullets at a single person

I couldn't do that either.

Weirdly, when I set down a radio beacon, I could spawn on it, and then on one of the other squad. Im guessing its a bug.

Are you telling me you haven't run a good distance around a corner only to be killed a second later by the person who was shooting at you a moment ago and could not have hit you if it wasn't for the POS netcode? Because it happens to me plenty of times every game.

I've done it to loads of people myself, they've ran a good 2-3 meters around a corner and I've stopped firing, and they still get killed.

(and no it's not my ping as I'm always in the low 20's)

I played as recon in bc2 with assault rifles all the time, m1, m14 and the daddy of them all, the g3. Much more useful than lying back on a hill with a scoped rifle. You were able to get right in the action and use motion sensors to a better advantage covering the advance.

Recons are not supposed to get into the action. They are supposed to provide reconnaissance and only use their weapons when absolutely neccessary. The recon kit in BF3 is a very useful asset to a team working together, just not to the guy who wants to get kills.

This and the fact it often takes an entire magazine of directly hitting a target before they die . . . its really ******* me off. I nailed a guy in the head which was just above cover, all I got was the hitmarker and his head jutting to one side but he carried on regardless.

True, but sadly too many are just worried about getting kills, and 9 times out of 10, they cant hit a barn door.
