I would like to play hardcore but in its current state i just can't, half the time i do not see any indication above enemies so would kills so many team members.
In a game earlier there was a guy laying prone with his name in green(squad member!!!) so i ran past him, next thing i know i am dead and he has killed me!:mad:

i think it helps me, as i now have to know where my team mates are - then i can find a spot not being used to it's maximum go there.

this is easily the slowest and most cumbersome game to launch. Take about 5 minutes to get started

Takes me about 2 minutes from clicking "Join Server" to be playing, takes a lot longer if I don't close everything else before that.
 
Whats with the AAV-7A1 AMTRAC?

I don't get it, I spawned in one right next to an enemy control point and managed to kill 7 people. Eventually it was captured but not one enemy shot at me and two tanks just drove past me. Seemed like people only shot when someone was driving :confused:
 
Being plagued by server lag on every damn server I go on. It is like it is timed at exactly every second, I get a blip and move to where I was a nano second beforehand. Not happy.
 
Absolutely loving this game. Just spent a good 3 hours on the Bronken 64 cq normal server. Had a truly epic match on Metro where we won as Americans. Real team effort.

I haven't had many issues and certainly not enough to rage about, just wish i could afford a new graphics card.

Quick of question tho:

Do at mines and claymores work the same as in BF2? I refer to the way they would stay active after death but be replaced if you placed new ones.

Yep, sometimes they even stack up(which must be a bug). I was feeling slightly bad as i got so many kills with AT mines in the last few games, but tbh they are SO easy to counter!
 
Claymores in the buildings of Seine Crossing are pretty savage. If you get to the top floor of the building that overlooks the bridge just place two on top of each other by the stairs. Worse that happens is someone knows that the stairs are booby-trapped so lobs a grenade to denote them. I usually just lob a grenade down the stairs and lay some more as the enemy covers from the grenade. I killed some dude about fives times in one game doing that. Brace yourself for RPG rage from the streets below though :D
 
Just played Hardcore for the first time. It's fantastic, so bloody easy to kill people and level up! haha. But you gotta have your whits about ya, or it's easy to be killed.

Hardcore + Metro = Win :)

Lol I do this, it's great when the same person keeps coming back for you. Then they come back with a buddy. Pure lulzzzzzzzzz
 
Finally had a great game of BF3 tonight, a squad that actually was a squad and I even got revived a few times! Great comeback to win from about 100 tickets behind, really enjoyable game, when bf3's good it's really good.

But there was an awful lot of raging and frustration on the way - I was the king of the assists before that - always the kill assist instead of the kill. So annoying when you shoot someone 4 or 5 times and they hit you once or twice and you're dead. Repeatedly. So sick of shooting people first, them killing me and seeing they're on 2 health - I got a 98 kill assist and a 99 kill assist tonight, then once I just tried to empty the clip of automatic, I died (as usual) and after I was dead it came up in white: "100 kill assist"! WTF is a 100 kill assist? I can see them in Dice HQ: 'he 100% killed someone there, but let's just mess with him some more' :)

People tend to ignore it for some reason, it is pretty heavily armoured and takes quite a few hits before blowing up.

Yeah, i actually enjoyed that metro CQ for once. I rallied over team chat to get people to rush up the escalators, for once people listened and lo and behold we walked away with victory!

Get enough people up that 1st set of escalators against the wall with people reviving the nade spam victims and its a guaranteed win once its capped.

Mines stay after death, claymores disappear from what i have been told, haven't used them yet.

Haha, that was you at the start then? Great game. Jolly good show by our boys.
It's definitely becoming my favourite 64 player server.

Yeah I haven't unlocked claymores because Engi is just too much fun.
