i just played this again today after a very long while...

what exactly is the point of the IGLA/Stinger?

seems like the lock on range has been more than halved since i last used it and flares come back too fast, i counted around 3 flare drops per 2 missiles fired.

I can understand that with a team of people using them you may get some luck, but as a general player just joining games to have 'fun' i can't see it's use.

takes 2-3 missiles to destroy an aircraft and in that time most can drop 6-9 flares meaning every missile you fire is wasted as such.

just seems like a utterly useless weapon i find using tank shells easier to take out aircraft.

also what's the point of map packs if there is never any maps running from said packs? lol in particular wake island, i know the new maps are out and are more popular but still.

Battlefield is balanced on team work not on gun solo. You can be Chuck Norris and kill 3 people out of a squad but the last one will always kill you and revive all the others around him you just killed. All it takes is two engineers to work together or a sniper/javelin combo and any air threat can be quenched.

Wake Island just isn't very good in this iteration also. Don't know if it's specifically down to the 24 player limit or the three capture points on consoles, or the vehicle setup or something new in this version of Battlefield, but it just doesn't work as well as it has done before.

Wake Island from Battlefield 1943 was excellent. I am quite sure it was a lot smaller on consoles and therefore worked better. Always lots of action going on. The player count does hinder it a lot in BF3. Kharg, Wake, Firestorm are borefests on consoles for me.
 
the 5 flag version is called Wake Island Day 2.

Same thing with Sharqui Peninsula and Back to Karkand. All Conquest Assault, but with 3 flag and 5 flag versions.
 
Just had my first go on the OCUK server. 7 players from the clan HFS on the other team, roof bugging and camping :p shame as couple oc players left just before, still won but find the mav bug soo irritating now after we were promised a fix!

I was on their side for the last 15 minutes or so of the game, they all had locked squads and some were messing around in the main base for a bit. No idea what they were doing, and I think the server crashed after that match :(.
 
Yep played with them most of the game, god awful as I was running about trying to get a few bases but they just seemed to be doing absolutely nothing.

I was playing one round on the ps3 casbian border map, some dude had over 220 kills at the end with 2 deaths, adding up the kills on the other team there no where near enough, and he wasnt killing the same person over and over, it was completely random.

He was. They just fooled you because there was 4 of them in on it. Remember you still get a kill if the guy you kill gets revived, but the guy that got revived doesnt get a death. Hence his kills not matching the number of deaths of the entire team. Notice the nemesis ribbons ? notice the 51 % accuracy ? pretty easy to hit somebody who doesnt move ....

As for who he was shooting, well thats easy. He was shooting at Christian_0711, Daarlig-_-KD and aagaard2000. All of them have loads of points, from loads and loads of medical ribbons. Two of them lost over 500 skill despite only dieing one or two times. Christian_0711 initially spawned as support, and gave Kjoeller_0411 an ammo crate so they never ran out of ammo. So got loads of points from his multiple supply efficiency ribbons. Daarlig-_-KD is only rank 3 so has probably had his stats reset already, and is just boosting back up again.

They took it in turns to be shot at, and play the role of medic, so as to avoid suspicion. All 4 of them involved in the dirty boosting. Notice how the other guys in your team have a variety of medals, flag attacker, flag defender, vehicle disable etc.. Because they were playing the game, not hiding in a corner reviving and killing each other.


Caspian border is such an easy map to do it on as well, as there are loads of good places to hide out of sight.
