High ticket games are popular, plus when you're trying to fill a server the worst thing that can happen is a round end because then half the players leave.

I'm not around enough to enforce a no base rape rule, i saw you getting upset about that when i looked at the chat logs this morning.

It was quite boring with that guy in the heli just circling our base destroying the heli and jets within seconds of them spawning.
 
Isnt there an autokill feature that can be turned on if you attack uncaps ? Think there was in BFBC2.

Normally if you all penned in the uncaps and are getting repeatedly wasted its not too good.

This happened the other night on karkand I managed to get out and cap the furthest flag away but my idiotic team didnt bother to spawn on it and make a go of the game so I left.lol

If there was an effective way other than me being there to check all the time i would probably implement it, but theres not so its best to go with a free for all man up and deal with attitude.

When i tried to enforce no base raping, no rpg on inf etc it was no fun playing anymore. Instead i spent the whole time sorting arguments between 12 year olds.

I'd agree. I've been on too many servers where the game is very unbalanced with one team in total domination and the other team quitting in frustration to be replaced by new members who then quit shortly after unless they can switch teams.

To me it's exactly the same mentality as hacking. If someone is quite willing to completely ruin another teams game through base rape then tough on them and their team if one of the vic's comes back with a mass murder hack or perhaps just max damage with enhanced range targeting on Javelin, ground to air missile or pilot snipe enabled. It's all available for the price of a couple of beers each month.

What's the difference ... one is within the 'non rules' published by EA/Dice and the other requires a tweak to the code. The both have the same outcome... game ruined.

Why is it cool to completely trash the game for the other team in total domination and base rape .... 'look how cool we are' and 'ethically' unacceptable to the same individual that someone comes back and sticks it to them through a back door.

It's human nature and the internet is a nice place to hide and be a total ******

I've virtually given up on the game now, between hacking and ******* there's little fun in it.

total rounds?

I think at least 10% of mine is down to greebo and his mother******* USAS12 :eek:

Mine is down to " one hit kills " and " taking entire rounds to kill someone that is at arms length ". Never happened before the DLC or after Patch!.

Last night on matt's server was fun though, it's so sporadic!
 
I think I need to steer clear of HC for a while, fed up of running around with 6 - 7 other guys around me and being the only one who gets shot. It's basically hide and seek, who sees who first.

/I love hardcore mode.
 
I've been giving the game a massive rest having got to rank 26, i completed infamous2 in the meantime (great game btw). I do sympathise with the base rape experience but it only takes 1 person manning the AA opportunistically to take out vehicle spawn rapers or a couple of engineers with stingers.

As far as team balance goes I never personally switch teams unless its to be with a buddy, i will often find myself on the losing team, and depending on how bad it is, i will stay and fight, try to shout a few orders at the team to squad up and flank etc, or just quit out if its that bad, try another server.

There is always something you can do in bf3 to be helping the battle and having fun at the same time, just running mindlessly into enemy positions solo and getting repeatedly one shotted is only going to make you fustrated if you take it too seriously, remember its a game and yes you are going to lose badly sometimes, but then you also get some brilliant moments like when you kill half a dozen snipers base raping your team after u sneak up behind them with your trusty DAO locked and loaded - ba-boom-chik! ;D
 
I just cant see what the fuss is about with this game, i've given it 20 hours now and whilst it's enjoyable at times, it is just totally uninspiring, particularly the unlock tree and explosions. To me it feels like COD with vehicles - although some maps are large they are pointless as the flags are so close together, the graphics of some things are good, of others are bad. Gameplay pales in comparison to BC2 and BF2 - I was really hoping for a combination of those two and have been left disappointed and as my gaming time is limited these days I think I'll mostly be on BC2 until I miss flying the choppers (one thing DICE may have gotten right...). Real shame I wanted to be playing this for years to come but the depth just isn't there to give it any sort of longevity for me :(

I was about to say the same. Stingers are pretty effective at deterring choppers, especially if they're floating around in the same general area. Doesn't make the person destroying empty jets any less of a prat though.
