Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

[Neil79]

There were some good games and both teams were pretty evenly balanced. Seem to remmeber quite a few which came down to 7 tickets or so abd the games could have gone either way.

Much fun was had destroying PyromaticTabby's tank as often as I could

Remember when I said Damn it Greebo?

I was going to knife FunkySpider and you took my kill, I was like NOoooooooooo

How would you know?, A guy might have 32/8 and you'd think he was in the tank or helicopter but no he was hacking. That's the point not all hackers/cheaters make it so obvious, if you've ever seen an aimbot/cheat/hack they have options with some you can see anyone on the screen others can kill a target without you doing anything.

If he is hacking and only has 32/8 then he sucks, and I don't care as the hacks obviously aren't doing anything to adversely affect the game.

Yeah i hate it when that happens. The other night i had run up to the mountains, the long way, to knife a sniper and just as I was coming up behind him, no more than 5m away, a heli killed him. Wasted what seemed like 5 mins on nothing.

The above either happens to me, or if I do manage to get to the enemy the knife animation will fail, I'll swing the knife and simply knock the enemy sideways and do no damage to them at all. This is usually followed by them realising something is amiss, turning round and shooting me whilst I flail around with what may as well be a butter knife in my hand.

The knife fails for me about 8 in 10 times as does arming / disarming mcoms (been like since beta and I cant fix it). It used to really frustrate me but I simply dont bother now, they just get an MP7 round to the head and I never bother arming / disarming mcoms at all either.

Wow, **** me. The BF3 SP in amazing when you play from start to finish and watch the cut scenes. Whoever said that BF3 SP sucks - or pales next to MW3 - needs shooting. Fantastic. Now that ATI have sorted their drivers out - only took 3 months - it plays amazingly in eyefinity!

renderdevice.forcerenderaheadlimit 1 - ***!

 

[Dj_Jestar]

Some people don't want to join a new match or server, most servers I play on I know most players and play against the regulars on there, why should they move just because some hacker wants to ruin it. Most people can't afford to buy their own server and collective payments never work.

Remove yourself from that high horse.

So you feel it necessary to come and whine on OcUK forum about it. Yeah, that'll show 'em.

I've had no problem whatsoever tonight

It gets a bit better as the game goes on. The early parts are just bilge of the highest order but it does improve later. Even compared to Modern Warfare it is ridiculously scripted though. There are very few situations where you have any choice whatsover about how to approach an objective.

 

[lewism]

How many people actually go round 1 shot killing from the hip ?

None. Since none of the sniper rifles can actually one shot kill to anything but the head. And the chances of you hip firing a shot to the head with the sniper rifle are so remote, i can guarantee you've possibly only seen it once, and now use it as an example to demonstrate why snipers are wrong.

Have you actually played as a sniper before ?

If so you'd know that the unzoom and re-zoom required on bolt action snipers, and the bullet drop on all but the top sniper rifle, make for very realistic sniping. Aiming standing up without any kind of support is hampered, and only a headshot will 1 shot kill.

The game rewards sniping the way it was intended - prone, up on a hill with a bipod, holding your breath and whilst spotting your enemies for your team.

Granted you can slap on Holographic or red dot scope, and go sniping at close range with it, But you still have to aim for the head

This. Sniping is much harder than people think. But I like it. If you have laser sight equiped it does make it easier to spam them automatic rifles when running to your next location but I hardly see anyone with the holo or 4x scopes unless its on a city map.

Seconded. Playing sniper properly can be challenging, especially now they don't have access to weapons like C4 which encourage them to get in close trying to take out tanks.

The class still attacts a lot of dickheads though. The ones who all think they are Bob Lee Swagger, yet sit in the same place and dont relocate (even on on servers with death cam enable...duh) and select an M98B with a 12x ballstic scope for maps like Metro

lol Greebo i dont even bother trying to displace your tank whorage these days!

They are easy to spot I find. They are always on the highest point trying to get a mile long kill but always fail because the bullet drops 10 feet in front of me. Nothing more satisfying than sticking a bullet down these guys scopes when they try to spawn camp on Khagar Island. I especially like hilltop on Caspian Border. That place is mine when that map is on.

One thing that annoyed me last night on some 64man server was getting teamkilled in the jets/helis so they could steal them. If I can get killed by my team mate on the ground why can't I fire a bullet into a scout chopper or havoc?

That's hilarious. On a Karkand game a week or two ago there were a few snipers who kept MAV exploiting to get on top of the towers. They might get a lovely view up there but it also leaves them horribly, horribly exposed if someone so much as glances at the skyline. I don't think I've ever had an easier time finding targets for counter sniping.

 

[Gregster]

wow there is a lot of hating at each other because of this game. If you join a solid server and a hacker comes in, he wont be on for long (i have seen a couple of hackers but not many). I play on a server that has very tight rules (no rpg on infantry no base rape) and if people break the rules then they get warned/kicked. This has made the game for me more enjoyable. I know we are all different but you will always find a server which suits your needs.
Also don't forget this is just a game and if it bothers peeps that much then surely stop playing?

 

[LOAM]

I never usually do this but just a heads of for the other admins;

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/Team_KFC/stats/382917756/

Apparently creates / sells cheats, he also changes his name almost daily to avoid GUID look ups etc etc. It took me some time to track him down after several name changes since he was on our Beer Drinkers when no admins were on.

anyway, details below if you do want to ban him as he uses UK servers (hes Canadian).

[04.01.2012 SAS ban ] b17b3229a6b9a0eb1ccc63531a5ab1a4 "Undigested" "24.65.121.152" known cheat

 

[Dj_Jestar]

^ or wait until he actually cheats your server before banning someone for hear-say.


P.S. Changing name doesn't affect GUID lookup.
