its one way to handle campers, people who does not play for the team.
BF3 is a team based get objectives, defend and attack, to support the other player.
I played a few and saw 3 tanks owning my team due to none was actually trying to kill them, just playing around with their own way, so I left the server. Noobs I dont play with, ruins the game experience.

Camping is a MW3 and cod game, a more realistic approach is cover, supress and advance as Battlefield 3 is about.
if the squad does that, you move over any team.

Handling campers, people either lazy, with such playstyle, shouldnt play Bf3, so some game mechanics has to be there, mortar is such one, see people complain about them as they cant lie down and snipe or camp, well mortars are good then, and easy to counter also if needed.

I find most who complain and whine, isnt able to adjust their playstyle to the game design. can counter anything. but if all are noobs, well not so much.

Actually it finds everyone, more so than the campers, it finds the people who are moving from camouflage to camouflage point and in camouflage positions which is in line of sight but hard to see which is good tactics and in not considered camping.

But that choice of play is out of the window now for new players and for people who have not unlocked the counter to it= less choice of play style which is the last thing the game needs as it harder to get into than MW in the first place but now you start with a big disadvantage with BF3, unlike MW which could put off new players even more.

People are not moaning much yet because not enough people have it and want to try it out for themselves, but the amusement will wear off when 90% of players have it and the only scope being used is the IRNV.

Quick scoping is a none issue as a good Quick scoper will have the target within scope view as soon as he brings it up to his eye, i have my hold breath button on the same key as Aim so it all happens at once, if its out side of it and in the peripheral then its fail and is normal aiming acquisition.

I have taken on snipers with my Saiga, IRNV with 12G Frag rounds.

Personally i have no problem using it at snipe distance or close quarters, the viewing area through the scope is bigger then all the rest.

It will get to the point that all the other scopes were just a means to end of having to use them until IRNV unlock for that particular weapon.

So less choice of people willing to use other scopes once they have the IRNV, less choice of people willing to use other camouflage outfits once they get the anti IRNV camouflage.

The IRNV usage may drop off when enough people have the IRNV camouflage and will negate the IRNV to usage a against new players who have neither, what a welcome.

As for adapting playing style, i have indeed and i do the thing that i don't like really doing unless I'm a sniper which I'm not 90% of the time, i like to move around allot but use cover when its wise to do so, but now on some maps i find a good camping spot with no line of sight behind solid objects, silencer and claymore and wait for them to come to me, so basically IRNV encourages camping more than any other BF game.

PC is hardlocking now, so confusing because I only changed the realtek drivers to the xfi modded ones, decided I didn't like them and went back to my previous drivers. Hardlock = pc freeze with sound loop, full power off only solution.

Even went back to windows 7 default driver and that still hardlocked, it's not time related, can be first round or the 7th round.

I'm using the realtek drivers from that modded set, unmodded so to speak :p

Not hardlocking, but BF3 has crashed with app crash however that seems to be origin chat related. Try playing the game and going offline in origin
 
Tried so many things, still hardlocking, at a loss as to what has changed causing it to fail.

Sound, video ati 11.11, and other various drivers are up to date. PB is up to date.

:< Can't play. :'(
 
Think some maps need more AA def, think it was Caspian border rush and I spent 2 rounds with the sky as my personal playground, enemy pilots were either absent in presence or IQ and the Frogfoot/A-10 made absolute mincemeat of their armour. Their only hope were stingers and through diving attacks and flares I didn't get hit once.
I've seen this on a few maps, think it's mainly the 1's with the Frogfoot/A-10, but unless your team pilots are up to the job, your kinda at their mercy.

I don't know a solution and I'd hate to see all the maps full of mobile AA's, least the plane rape isn't nowhere near as bad as BF2/1942 :p
 
I'm absolutely blown away with BF3's graphics. I haven't played any of these games since BF2. What a game.

BF3 doesn't seem to like Fraps when you change any in game settings.

One thing I'm glad I do not miss was the long map loads from BF2.

I only play conquest so I'm not sure about Rush, however IMO AA is about right. It only takes one guy who knows what he's doing + unlocks and you can almost rule out half the map as a no fly zone. When I'm a Pilot I actually try and use the AA as a defensive tactic to get someone off my tail - works well.

While we are on the subject of flying I'm finding beam scanning to be the best unlock for me given that you reload and lock-on so quickly.

What is everyone else using?

Full 32 slot server. It's just messed up though. 5 flags, 4 tanks each, AA each, 2 jets each and 2 helis each. That's min 13 people on each side in the air or in a tank. This leaves it 3 v 3 going round in a circle capping flags.

Granted its rare when it goes so bad but Crikey when it does its bad.

thats why you play on a server with small conquest versions. MUch more happening. less tanks/etc.

more compact more fun go on mumble tonight on ocuk mumble & they will take you to my server and have the time of your bf3 life :p:D

I'd agree with that, the AA is pretty lethal as it is.

I normally fly with flares, rocket pods and air radar. I don't use heatseekers (gives the game away to soon!) and the guided missile is rubbish, so although beam scanning is handy I'm not so keen on the unlocks which go with it.

I was on your server yesterday, i can't say 32 slot servers takes my fancy over 64 slot servers, it just doesn't suit my tastes, but it was a stable, smooth server nonetheless and would be an ideal choice for gamers who enjoy 32 slot games.

well yes 64 players with 64 maps is cool as long its stable & have people doing team based attacks. (btw they fixed the issues on 64man servers yet?) bad lag,constant crashing etc?

however 32 players as he was playing on with 64 maps is terriblly boring.:(
