Raping! Joe, baetze and mostly me (:p) completely turned around a metro round there lol

Bad netcode or strange goings on?


I'm all for bad netcode doing strange things and I know there are way less hackers than people think but this one something weird was going on. Opinions?

BF3 maps were designed around 12vs12 consoles. 8vs8 goes back to BF2 and beyond as far as I am aware. It means you have to be very tactical and while there are different skill levels, you have to be on top of your game at all times, no easy kills. Rogue Transmission Sml plays much better than Cnq Lge IMO

32vs32 battles also happen between communities eg Symthic vs FIST but the logistics of 32 players isn't easy. At Level Battlefield we put on a weekly 32vs32 tournament with some of the best players in the world, while some maps didn't work too well most played out really good. 32vs32 Karkand was possibly my favourite LVLBF map as the initial breakout / push is one hell of a rush.

That's not entirely correct, yes 8v8 was suggested in BF2 at the time due to map size and the game type.

The fact is, these days e-sports is more recognised as 5v5 and 6v6. Why you ask? To make it into 'mainstream', these would be sponsored events at LAN etc. Quite frankly it's cheaper to send 5 people instead of 8 / 12 / 32...it's always about the money.
 
3 days BF4 clean, doing well, I have stopped shaking now but do sit around at work normslly around 10pm and think how much fun I am missing out on!
 
RPG is much more usable in BF4, so if you take on of the guided (Soflam-responsive) weapons, you're sometimes going to be less effective if there doesn't happen to be a recon using it.

If you infantry guys think Inf is bad and you have gotten into vehicles just think how bad it's been for Atk chopper hoes...beep beep beep

Quoted from Labby on the Symthic forum talking about the difference between BF3 and BF4 Stingers

"reload time 3.6s for both.

initial speed 16m/s -> 20m/s

max speed 200m/s -> 250m/s

relatively minor differences...

annnnnddd this is where it starts getting insane.

acceleration 35m/s^2 -> 100m/s^2

maxturn angle 155 degrees/s -> 3600 degrees/s"

I rarely use attack choppers for this very reason. You are so vulnerable and get killed within a minute, even quicker if an AA is about. But Stingers are just far too powerful...got on Storm and there are frequently Little Birds or transport choppers, easy prey.

:(

Shame about those ****ing jets last night though! :mad:

Overall I do still much prefer BF 4 to BF 3, but BF 3 for infantry play is just so much better! <3 aek, m16, rex, mag :cool: Helps when the net code is actually relatively good in bf 3 compared to bf 4 though :p

Main things that let BF 3 down big time compared to bf 4 imo:

- UI sucks so much
- "artistic filter", my eyes still get strained with bf 3!!! Also a lot harder to spot people
- vehicle balance, mainly the aircraft (I forgot just how much the AA in bf 3 sucks lol............)
- suppression

Replaying caspian, metro, bazaar and fire storm has got me in the mood for second assault DLC pack! Hopefully we get it soon.....
