In other news, i completed my 1 enemy vehicle destroy for my assignment last night.

Did it properly too, snuck up behind a russian T90 that was in a firefight with an american abrahams and crouched down at the rear and got the repair tool out. Because they were trying to get that last shell in to finish off the american tank, they stayed in even when the tank only had like 5 % health. Double kill and vehicle destroy :D Just need my 50 AT kills to complete my "It goes boom!" assignment.

I'm doing well on my Scarred Veteran assignment too. I've got my BTR kills, DPV kills and PP19 kills. Just need to put the time in on Gulf of Oman and Sharqui

Anyone else noticed this?

When you go to point E on Strike at Karkand, there's a few cars around that point. Whenever I stand behind one of them my screen has an orange effect applied to it, as if its like playing the BF2 version of it, then is removed when you move away again.

If this was intended it's pretty cool!
 
Have to say I find most of the Maps lack the character of many of Bad Company 2's maps

also Wake?

more like Weak Island, it looks like a half baked version of 1943's wake island

it's a disgrace to the classic the other wakes have become.
 
OMG just played this, SP is amazing the graphics and sound and ragdoll is epic, feel like you are in the firefight had a quick go on MP and loving it.

Blows MW3 out the water

Hmm, wouldn't agree on the SP thing (and I'm a big BF fan) but yes the MP is awesome :) and yes, for me, it blows MW3 away
 
I know what you mean about the character of the maps, odd isn't it? And it does not feel like destructions plays a big part in it any more, there are no houses to demolish as such, just wall to blow out, hopefully they bring harvest day into it :D

yup and one of the things dice creamed about was increased destruction. just don't see it.

they have tried to be clever with the classic bf2 maps and update them, when they should have left them alone
 
Well, while I am enjoying this on PC, as it looks lush on my system, I just have not gotten the social aspect of mp pc gaming down, so feel kinda like I am playing solo....

So got this coming for PS3!

Not sure why I went for that over 360, but oh well!

In couple of days I should be joining in the fun :)

Stats for, not bad considering I am running around like headless chicken and using basic gun with no adds
 
Hammering Saints Row 3 so I can sell it then will be on BF3

Need some more friends to play it with only a couple play it, rest are on fifa/cod all the time
 
I've been really trying to force myself to like this game, but I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that it's probably just a bit naff. It's irritating since it was once of the few games I forked out for at full price when it was released (mainly because it needed codes to play online), but when I play it I just get annoyed about how clunky it feels. I think it would have really benefited from another 6 months of development. You can sort of see what it was trying to achieve, but I don't think it pulls it off.

I hate myself for preferring MW3, but I'm ashamed to say I do.
 
I like both games, but the fact you say BF3 feels clunky, while completely ignoring the massive game breaking flaws in MW3, says to me that theres nothing wrong with the game at all, you just don't like it.

Which is fair enough. Nobody is forcing you to like it, but take your MW3 rose tinted spectacles off.
 
not until they fix it no.

The semi auto shotguns have a glitch that means it doesnt stack up your button presses. If you jam the fire button as fast as you can... say 5 times. Your gun won't queue up the presses and fire 5 times. It might be that the 2nd button press was whilst it was still firing, so it doesn't register, but then the 3rd press does.

Or alternatively you can press the button at about the same sort of speed as it fires, then it doesnt "jam"

Its on the list of things due to be fixed. Until then its ok, but nowhere near as good as the auto shotguns like the jackhammer and usas
