Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

I have played the game for about 35 hours now and have unlocked various items. I don't know but it seems game is somehow lacking 'depth'. On the surface it seems a lot is happening action wise but deep down game seems to protrude a sense of hollowness.

I guess I may need to try skyrim and see how it is and then return to BF3 later on.


Edit: My excitement for this game has reduced quite a lot. :(

Linear maps get boring quick, game is still alive for me because I'm loving owning in the attack choppers with my pilot from BF2 days. Back to karkand should bring some of the depth back with flags that are well spaced out and there is up to seven of them :eek: :p I miss the advanced squad leader orders from BF2, where's the tactical depth in spamming q at at a flag:rolleyes: the squad management in BF3 is diabolical, so hopefully they fix it and the commo-rose for better communication on PUB servers with randoms.

I am looking forward to B2K maps.

I do feel this game needs more vehicles on 64 players matches and yes the flags need to be spaced out making use of more terrain.

Imo the main problem with this game so far is lack of communication amongst team members. I miss the commo-rose talk from Bf2142 and that made the game very lively and team orientated :)


Edit: Commo-rose needs to have a stylish design. the current design look like a dead icon lol

Hooked up with a friend, we went Mcom huntin'.. Him going in to arm them, me covering him with the M249 (which now, with the flashlight, flash hider and holo sight I can actually win 1V1's and see what I'm shooting at), got to 17/1 k/d and 3 Mcom's before getting kicked from the server. Epic fun though.

Really is all about the people you play with, my mate takes very few things seriously and some of the noises he was making in amazement when we were getting the **** shelled out of us were hilarious. Beats everyone talking like they're in Delta Force :D

Why the heck would you use a torch and then use the flash suppressor?
Why try to hide yourself with one hand and make yourself blatantly conspicuous with the other?

Turn it off in the open when the supressor will be most useful, turn it on indoors where the blinding effect is most useful.

Flash suppressor, different to the suppressor. Stops the muzzle flash from covering your line of sight so much when you're firing. However that and the flash light are both in the same category, so I was mistaken in having equipped them both.

Or the above reason is satisfactory also :p
 
What (if anything) do you guys use for voice comms? I miss the Steam Voice Call chatter that I had going on on BC2 with my mates (various reasons they're not on the same time as me any more)

Usually just the voice comms in Battlelog, it's handy enough.
 
The quality on battlelog seems okay, but I sometimes Skype with friends, Mumble and Teamspeak work well too. I'm usually skyping with friends though.
 
I am always on both TS3 and Mumble when playing, few mates on one and few on the other. (confusing at times, but they want to stick with what they know and don't want to change!)

I haven't played for the past 2 days now, will probably have a go again tomorrow been glued to the pc playing skyrim.
