I am always open to changing my opinion based on experiences of playing:) I never disliked the game at all, I just found it a tad unbalanced mainly due to the unlocking which favours people who play it more and unbalances the game too much imo and the maps(i still don't like a few of them, but some have grown on me)


It can still get very frustrating though, the unlocks are ridiculous and i do think they are generally a really bad thing in shooters but if you work through it you can start to hold your own against the massively overpowered unlocks. I still rage when i see people with much more powerful weapons/unlocks. And there is no point even trying to fly as i don't have any unlocks for it!


Playing with more teamwork and slightly adapting my playstyle has helped me to enjoy the game a lot more.
It has also helped that i tweaked it a bit to get much better FPS as well, I was happy with around 30:eek: but now i have tweaked it a bit to get around 50-60 most of the time;)
Also 32-player servers are MUCH better than 64!

Yeah, I totally agree about the unlocks but it seems to be the way of things these days. :(

The upcoming DLC will probably make it even worse if they start selling people overpowered weapons as well.
 
Really can't seem to play this, I die like 500 times a minute, everyone seems to have guns with supreme accuracy that **** me up within seconds, I always lose 1v1's and I keep spawning in front of gunfire. It's actually making me agitated.
 
If i get stopped in my tracks buy a few tiny rocks anymore my head will explode. They are about 2-3 inches high. Cant remember how many times i have been killed because of these.

It sucks but tbh until they fix the spawning it might be better to spawn at deployment more often than not. Or really check before you spawn that there is no one around, i almost never try to spawn at capture points as the amount of times i have spawn with an enemy looking straight at me is ridiculous.

As for the unbalanced weapons, again i don't like it but you will just have to work through it, you will start getting better weapons eventually, it might be worth sticking with one class and focusing on unlocking everything for a single weapon whilst you get used to the game. Also you can pick up dead players kits and hope they have better gear:)
 
All I've played is Engineer with the SCAR as it was my main class in BC2, it's just this game for whatever reason I can't seem to play well at. I certainly wasn't this bad at any other Battlefield game, I don't know what it is.

The rubber banding doesn't help much either, Half the time I think I'm behind cover only for me to leap back in the middle of a field and have a bullet in my skull. I guess I will just have to grind away at the weapons and maps until I have picked up the pace of the game.

Wonder if the Javelin will get an upgrade soon, currently it has 2 rockets and seems to do a minimal amount of damage. No real point to using it at present as the smaw has about 5 rounds with it.

Javelin is fine, remember to aim quite high up in the air after you get the lock, the missile comes down onto the softer top part of the armoured vehicle. Always have explosive spec for my engineer class, anything else would be quite daft.

Make sure you change your weapons up for close quarter maps. 1 v 1's coming across someone with a higher rate of fire weapon than you will 9 times outta 10 mean your death unless they have slower reactions.

Do you guys really play Normal over Hardcore?

lol read the sentence back then think :p

only reason hc was made was so avg joe could kill easier. it came round from mods making damage higher so people could get kills easier.

in the end if you play it regular you become reliant on the damage being so high that " normal " feels wrong ;) . what you should do is play normal more then hc occasionally that way youll ruin the hc nabs .

people will always argue over hc and normal but the simple fact is hc was made on purpose to kill easier. its not even a arguement.

this is why you never see any pros big lan prizes playing the world series for hc :p
 
During a round, the enemy chopper kept on pounding us on the hill in caspian. Our chopper was nowhere to be seen and no body even tried to distract the enemy chopper with stinger lock-ons etc :mad:
 
It wasn't for people to kill easier at all, quite the opposite (although the result is the same) it is that you die a lot easier, no soaking up bullets. It used to make the hardcore type servers play more tactical because of this, at the moment though they are being played pretty much the same as normal servers. Things will hopefully settle down though...
 
it is made for on average its easier to kill

that way anyone person has a hance or greater chance in hc cause the damage is so high

why you think its so popular ;)

it gives random publics the chance to take down better players with that one shot regardless of where they aim .

anyway enough hc debate as it always starts crap . ggs tonight
 
Been tonking it around tonight! Got into a pretty good squad and stayed together working as a team. Got some really good scores + unlocked tons of stuff!

Shame that battlelog is only showing 4 games from today. I've played at least 12! Anyone else get this?

And also, does anyone have problems with script errors/browser hangs when navigating BL in FF?
 
Um ok, why have they given tanks guided shells?? I know there isnt a great deal of realism in the game but guided tank shells??
Hoping to unlock my Robocop armour soon looking at some of the unlocks i am seeing now :)
 
me and my IRL mate just completely turned around a Caspian game! he was in the AA gun and i was in a plane with beam scanning! proper owned everyone i finally got shot down after about 25 mins of flying survived and got into attack heli killed a few tanks took few points and then both went in a tank zooming from cap point to cap point killing everything was such awesome team play! am halfway thru rank 45 now and its such a big jump up for XP from 44 to 45!
