Wake Islands always been hit-and-miss.

I fucking LOVE that virtually every building in Oman/Karkand/Sharqi is enterable, its fucking awesome.

Not unlocked any of the new weapons other than the Mp5 lookalike, the name of which I cant remember. G53?
Either way, its fucking brilliant.


Im finding it damned hard to find the older maps on any rotations, which is annoying since I want to try and practice jet flight on empty servers.

>>120776198
HK53.

>defending the tv station on sharqi with SOFLAM, claymores and javelins

this is what BF3 should have been

>>120776198

G53 yeah, it's pretty nice.

Also, I was surprised there were as many buildings to enter myself. I assumed they would just copy/paste shit all over and not really give a shit, but it feels like they actually worked pretty hard on these.

There's usually a lot of 1-player-start servers though, I used those a while back to level jets for flares by taxi'ing my jet / heli / scout chopper to points for xp.

My only big gripe right now is the empty servers. There's barely any servers that aren't completely full or absolutely dead right now, and the ones with 7 or 8 people are either really slow and full of boosters, or if you're on HC, full of idiot admins who make up rules everytime you do anything, or they just kick you or ban you.

need colorblind support on the 360 still

Fuck yeah, Publix subs!

The F35 gets raped hard by the Russian jet.

Conquest Assault mode is kind of hit and miss. Gulf of Oman is horrific if the US loses the shore bases.

2 boats which can't even get near the shore when the entire enemy team is stacked on the coast and a transport heli that will probably get shot down due to Russian air superiority. There aren't even enough seats for the whole team, so the majority just go recon and ignore ever reclaiming land.

>>120776759

I just want a damn B2K Rush playlist

>>120777127
are you on 360? enjoy it while you can. seriously, use irnv as much as possible
you might be able to see about 20 meters after the patch

>>120777127

As OP and funny as it is to use it, I wish they'd just remove the fucking thing. It's such a game-breaking piece of shit metaphorically. I was also amused at how the IRNV is broken on the regular maps, but not on the B2K maps. How the fuck does that even happen?

>go recon, join the squad, and parachute myself onto the tallest crane at Construction
>kicked for destroying team heli and for attacking already capped points

What the fuck?

>>120776914

Well shit, as far as I'm concerned it looks like an MP5, so i can pretend to be SG1 before I get the P90.

can you still blow up mcom stations with explosives or did they remove this option?

>>120777598

Removed it. You have to hold E and actually arm it, then try to defend it.

>>120777462
Oh, I guess they nerfed it for 360 when they released B2K. PS3 and PC got nerfed first. You used to be able to see really far with it; now you see a lot of green unless a guy is about 10 meters away.

>>120777782

hmm
>>120777290
is right.

It was pretty shit on Damavand, but on the B2K maps (which is all i've been playing lately) it works just fine...weird!

>>120777734
uhhh wtf dice....
i cant win games within 10 mins anymore....
thanks brah

hey guys should I get this game?

I'm waiting for planetside 2 really

why did they break my IRNV scope?
I know it was OP as fuckall
but I pretty much suck at games due to my vision problems and now they took away the only thing that made me even remotely decent

that music

>>120777046

>mfw I camped on that crane and went 24 - 1 and got called a hacker because nobody could find me

Only reason I died was because some analpained heli driver who I happened to cockpit-snipe while he was landing came and crashed into me out of anger. Fucking hilarious.

Did they implement voice functions? I updated origin or some shit and said something about voice channnels

either way,
>that feel when no teamwork on pubs

>Takes me 5 minutes just to join a match
>Join the match, forced to join losing team, have 7 tickets to the enemy's 148
>Switch teams
>Get automatically switched back because autobalance swaps the last player to join instead of someone at random

Other than that the maps are a blast. Except for that one where the US can never push past the train station because the russians can attack from all sides and steal our vehicles

>>120777893
I was playing Karkand earlier with it and no one glowed and this was just across the street from one building to another. I think they overnerfed it.

>>120777958

Because it's basically like DICE added hacks to the game and called it a legit mechanic.

They honestly shouldn't have even broken it the way they did. All they need to do is limit it to under 100 yds or so, but keep the NV lines and dust pickup. They literally made it so it doesn't even detect heat signatures. They may as well have just fucking took it out of the game with the way they broke it.

Not that I'm complaining. I wish they'd just remove it and add something else.

>>120778310

I would say NVG but that would make no fucking sense at all considering the only night map is Tehran, and it's not even dark. The way IRNV currntly is though they may as well just remove the IR from IRNV and just call it NV.

Anybody else liking the the L85, the recoil is very manageable so its good for longer ranges.

>>120778310
>>120778310

loved it, how you could see through fire with the IRNV

fucking piece of shit, should have never been included

>>120778574

They should add like, a point system for sticking with your squad. Every 10 seconds you're with your squad, you gain +10 points or something.

Right now, nobody even fucking JOINS squads, and when they do, they just fuck off and run into enemy fire and then cry when you refuse to revive them in the middle of an open field with fire coming from all directions.

>>120778608
>>120778608
I haven't it unlocked because I can't be arsed to play blood SQDM..

I want to play Battlefield, which means Conquest. Period.

>>120778310
coming from someone who uses exclusively the red dot i can tell you that if you're any good it's all you need. the only people defending the IRNV are shitters who crutch on things lighting up bright orange for ya so you can point and click. completely takes looking AND thinking out of the game. im glad they broke it :3

tldr irnv is for shitters, stop going negative in games (even while using it), hone your aim and stop using crutches. i guess that makes me a condescending elitist asshole huh?

Does anybody else hardly notice the difference between automatic guns besides a little recoil and range? They feel pretty similar and killing people only takes a few shots.

>>120778662
i don't know what kind of irnv but things like fire and smoke blocked the fuck out of mine

>>120778608

Haven't gotten it yet due to not being able to find a single SQDM match at all on PC at least with my current filters. I'm loving the FAMAS though. It has a bit of recoil, but once you get a feel for it you have next to no problem downing people in 2 or 3 quick bursts. I've even sniped people with it a few times and got called a bullshitter.

>>120778310

I can't stand IRNV, but if there's a chance some asshole is gonna use it on me, I'm gonna use it on them. At least on the B2K maps.

I'd love for it to just get removed and have them add like, a 1x scope or something that throws a box around your target when aiming at them down your sight, but only if they're in plain sight. Not some broken "I can box your target even if hes behind walls" bullshit. That'd be pretty neat.

>>120779155
that's because most of the guns are so similar. ALL guns that shoot 5.56 NATO do 25 damage, etc.

http://denkirson.xanga.com/756891604/bf3/

>>120779232
LOL easily the stupidest thing i've read all day, how about you look around and check your surroundings instead of being instantly notified of where an enemy is?

>>120778095
No voip at all outside of your personal friends in battlelog, which sucks if they aren't online or if you just want to play a pub match.
Basically the only hope you have of winning a pub match is if your team is stacked with eagles or if the enemy team is just shit.

>>120779128

No, I totally agree with you. Mose my guns are Holo/RDS + Heavy Barrel/Silencer + Foregrip. I refuse to rely on shitty crutches to carry me through matches. I feel positively good knowing I can go 25 - 12 or less deaths on a match without using cheap mechanics.

>>120779155
all the 5.56 guns do 25 damage max
all the 7.62 guns do 34 max
pistols something like 20
smgs vary the most, go figure

the only real difference between guns is the rof

>>120779221

Flames and fire weren't as "colourful" as human bodies, they actually just made the picture a little blurry.
I noticed that on Metro and Caspian Border (gas station).

>that feel when killed by xXMetalxGearXx

>FUCK YEAH KARKAND MAPS

>everybody is spamming rockets at infantry because of achievement weapons

I think I'll lay low for a while and play on the regular maps, this is getting out of hand.

>>120779380
He's talking about a replacement for the IRNV you dope. There's no replacement for checking your surroundings but instead of having a useless dud of a scope in your inventory, he's suggesting alternatives.

>>120779380

Putting a thin red box around a spotted enemy =/= highlighting your enemy in bright ass red behind a dark green background.

it's still a shitty crutch, yeah, but it's better than the bullshit IRNV is if you ask me. Call it what you want, I don't even use IRNV. I'm just throwing my opinion out there of what a better "super magic see-for-you" sight should be.

huehuehuehue

>>120779232

STALKER had that in CoP. You could upgrade it into the FN F2000, and all it did was put a thin ass box around enemies in clear sight.

I honestly wouldn't mind having that over IRNV.

Link to the /v/ platoon?

>>120779460
There's slight differences in recoil and accuracy. Using the chart that guy posted you can see that there are differences besides the ROF, even though the ROF does dictate a lot of what the weapon's stats are.

>>120779602
here's where you're missing my point:

why replace a completely fucked up mechanic that literally notifies you of where an enemy is to ANOTHER (maybe less fucked up, but equally as fucking STUPID) mechanic that hold on.. notifies you of where an enemy is lol... shouldnt of even existed in the game in the first place.

>>120779504
I despise names with too many "x" or "1337 speak" or numbers.. or names that are ONLY numbers..

Silencer +foregrip are just as bad imo. Everyone uses them. There's not enough variety in game. Shit, why did they even put IRNV at 100 kills? The reason most people weren't using it for a while was because they were all on their unlock gun treadmill and you could go less than 100 kills before getting a new gun. Should have put it at the end of the tree, something like 500 kills or 1000 kills.

I like the maps, lots of sniping, good urban flags for close squad shootouts, better damage. Pretty much what they promised.

>>120779848

You mean Gulf Of Oman. But yeah, nice habit.

>>120779848
Gulf of Oman.

Any one else find the QBB-95 weak? I figure the 5.8 round would have more power to it but it feels like I'm firing spitwads at people.

>>120779949
they're not gigantic differences between them though. the biggest difference is the reload time. spread/deviation isn't that huge between them.

>>120779897

I remember that. Dude that's not too bad of an idea. Its still cheap, yeah, but it's nowhere near as broken as the IRNV is.

Too bad DICE would never do this, since there are so many screaming and crying babies on the forums who's life completely revolves around IRNV because they're so bad.

>>120779953
There's a place for it, though. It might not make sense to you but more variation in scopes is a good thing, even if it's somewhat more or less useful. Spotting is no less different than being automatically notified of where an enemy is without seeing them.I understood your point.

>>120780335
enjoy your 25 damage, same as all the other lower caliber LMGs.

>>120780137
Once I get the final unlocks for Support, which seems really fucking early (only 20 hours) I feel like I won't be motivated to play it anymore and just max out Engineer also, they should've added more general scopes and accessories for your guns, and more cool shit like the EOD bot/MAV/Mortar for leveling your role.

>>120780335
Fuck no, It's the best.

I mean shit I can spray at fags that would need to tapfire to even harm me a bit

>>120780335

I find LMGs in general pretty weird. I understand they're more of a suppressive weapon, but I run around with a foregrip and acog anyways. But too many times have I turned a corner or came up behind someone and tried to spray them dead with half my mag only to have them spin around and kill me in a couple shots, and noticing they have either full HP or 50+ hp left.

Shit's pretty silly imo. I heard it had something entirely to do with the Time to Kill stat of the weapons, but that's bullshit if you ask me.

Best weapons for each class?

>>120780609

I wish the unlocks would be more weapon specific, not just Holo, Red Dot, Silencer, etc. for every gun.

>>120780708
time to kill is just damage and rof calculated

>>120780335
I felt the same way. I was all excited to use it and I thought the big-ass scope would make it into a low fire rate, long range type of thing but it took 3 times as many bullets to kill the guys shooting at me. So, I went back to using the rpk.

I cant play bf3 anymore.
Only way to play without complete crash/ sound loop is to turn off my on board sound through the bios.

>>120780335
I feel like I have to get lucky to get 30 kills with that just so it doesn't have a fucking huge spread (laser sight + foregrip) when I try to kill some guy as I come around a corner at him

I'm trying to get the recon unlocks just because but I can't kill a damn thing with the sniper rifles. Suppression and kill assists everywhere.

>>120780901
I remember that the sound quality in the windows mixer has something to do with it, basically it's too high for BF3 and all you have to do is lower it to 44khz or something like that.

Famas is the new f2000
servers are always stacked (at least the ones i seem to visit)
Aircraft can rape how long they want unless i get a buddy to do javelin/SOFLAM combo
12xzoom on close/medium weapons
Biggest fucking ironsight made in China on the semiautomatic sniper

Did i miss anything?

>>120781077
Use the shotgun and be a team player by spamming your spawn beacon at mcoms and capture points

>vanilla
>Before release: YOU CAN DESTROY AAAANYTHING!
>Release: You can't destroy anything.

B2K has learned from BC2 and BF2. Buildings can be entered as well as destroyed and they're not just for show like in vanilla maps.

>>120781159
You forgot "SDM is the worst mode ever."

>>120780708

Use laser sight. It'll give you away at times, but I feel you. I can't stand turning a corner and firing right at someones face and watching my bullets land in a perfect silhouette around them as they burst me down, or firing 10 rounds at their back and watching the jump around and shotgun me. It's infuriating.

>M27 IAR w/ Foregrip, Holo, Laser Sight

Oh yes.

What's everyone's longest sniping head shot? 513m reporting in.

>>120781159
Is the Soflam+Javelin combo better than a regular stinger?

>>120781159
>Famas is the new f2000
Yeah fuuuuuck that, some fucking niglet doesn't see you, you start shooting at them and get them to like 56% hp and then they all of a sudden notice they're getting shot and turn and kill you in 2 seconds

On the topic of weapons:
What is the general opinion on the best shotgun?

>>120781159
All guns have had their recoil increased
source:
http://denkirson.xanga.com/756891604/bf3/

>>120781191
I meant the first B2K unlock. You need 20 kills with sniper rifles. I managed to get about 150 kills combined with the SKS and M39 but that was before the deviation patch. I haven't gotten a single one since B2K came out.

I hate sniper rifles.

>>120781380
870MCS is the best shotgun, 1 shot kill.

>>120781380
870 with flechet ammo.

>>120780335
That and the MG36 are shit-tier.

It's not like you can win against a competent run-and-gun medic or engie anyway, unless you're set up somewhere.

Though I have to admit that putting the ballsitic scope as standard on that thing is hilarious.

>>120781285
676m but I actually suck at sniping, I never got another headshot that far. I like the SKS with HOLO and supressor.

The Chinese LMG is godlike with the Foregrip

>>120781441
You could always...find a 1 person start server and have a friend or a bro from /v/ and just get kill him,.

But then you must think what is the purpose of the sniper rifle you unlocked if you can't get kills with one right now anyway?

Dear DICE.
Please put the 400m fog of war from BF2 back in the game.
Being able to see the entire map sucks for 2 reasons: 1, I can see almost everything and everyone and it removes almost all tension from the game. 2, Your company seems incapable of making an engine that can render at long range properly, and it is fucking ugly.

I dont think it's that wake isand is a bad map, it just isn't NEARLY as good of a map as the other 3. (remake wise, that is)

Also, im ashamed to admit i have been recon whoring. But god damn, that L98. Why cant i hold all these fucking headshots. It's especially good on Peninsula where you know there will always be faggot recon on the crane/tv station. if i loot at one of those places when im running between flag, i pretty much guaranteed to get a headshot.

Anyone else think Heli's are OP? A good Heli driver rapes tanks and ground troops.

>>120781380
870mcs.
Tightest spread, highest slug damage, lowest innate inaccuracy and lowest recoil. Great with all types of ammo, especially slugs, even if they aren't as good as they were in BC2.

>>120781285

OP here. 370m, got it while sniping with the M98B on the unreachable crane in Oman. Felt a lot further than that though.... as it was all the way out on the beach.

Fucking love the M98B.

>mfw dat long ass time it takes until bullet drop hits.
>mfw I've used it so much that I basically already know where my bullet will probably land

Javelins are the greatest weapons ever because flares/smoke don't apply to the rocket, just the soflam.

>>120781590
>SKS
>Holo

>>120775918

how can you say Wake is bad OP? It's where all the dinosaurs r

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUhrQyf-kec

Is the suppressor worth it? feel the damage reduction is so much more and people can hear you shoot anyway, Flash suppressor works decently enough since it only fucks up your aim a bit but you don't show up on radar while firing.

>>120781634
Like I said, "just because"

>>120781776
Javelins with out Soflam are complete shit though, and I rarely find anyone that puts them up.

>>120781652
Heli's aren't OP, there just aren't enough good players. 2 engies firing IGLAs or Javs in intervals can take one down fairly quickly, but only if they work together, which never happens, which is why choppers might seem OP.

>>120781771
I'd argue A91 is only better than the M4A1 in CQC. For longer ranges M4A1 > A91 because of recoil and bullet velocity.

what does everybody think about the tank engine sounds?
I find them way too quiet, no?

>Origin

Nope

>>120781814
on hardcore it's less of a problem but on normal suppressor is required so you don't show up on the minimap. apparently the suppressors don't even affect your damage, just how far your bullet goes.

>>120781634
You know I swear I was getting one shot kills in the xbox beta, I was just going on a tear at close to medium range with the bolt actions.

>>120781771
Why isn't the M27 IAR better then the QBB-95? It has a higher ROF and higher caliber bullets.

>>120782023
I've never had any problem with them.

>>120782107
Me neither

>>120781943

I toss a soflam up whenever I play recon every time. I even go out of my way to place it somewhere up high but sort of hidden a bit between shit so it can catch vehicles but also stay safe from being sniped while I head down below and help my team.

It almost always gets sniped by a recon or tank shell though. I hate babysitting the fucking thing though, so oh well.

>>120782037

You sure it doesn't lower damage? This would change everything since i run around usually with general weapons and such that suck at range anyway.

>3 middle eastern maps
>fucking Tehran

>fighting Russians instead of middle eastern soldiers

THEY COULD HAVE USED THE MODELS FROM SP

This game has some of the worst server admins I have ever seen.

>>120781788
Yeah, so what?

>>120782106
It just is better.

You can spray as much as you want at middle ranges plus more rounds

>>120782257
according to those guys who make the charts they do nothing

>>120782098

In beta EVERYBODY was getting 1 shot kills. Damage was scaled retardedly and certain calibers destroyed you, plus there was a bug where sprinting caused you to take massive damage when hit.

UMP45 was fucking RIDICULOUS in beta.

>>120782295
>he didn't play battlefield 2

Those admins where worse

>>120781943
People are putting SOFLAMS up now to get the recon achievements, which is kinda nice, but without any kind of voip, even just with your own squad, getting a competent recon and an engie with the jav is pretty difficult.

When are they going to fix the minimap?

Will bf3 ever get voip

suppressor lowers damage longer ranges, because it uses subsonic ammo to work

it says on the fucking description

Anyone with voice want together and play a bit? Trying to unlock the jackhammer right now

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/user/LeonTalon/

>>120782295

I agree. I always get kicked for the most retarded shit, such as using my pistol exclusively, knifing too much, or just doing pretty damn good (got kicked because I was 44 - 2, which is hilarious because I'm usually awful and usually do 25 - 12 or 2.0 or so).

>>120782295

So far i've been kicked for
C4 an admin
Shoot down one with AA gun while he was chasing my friend
Knifing one
Doing the SOFLAM/Javelin combo to take out several air vehicles

Admins in this game are truly power tripping children

>>120782459
Is the SOFLAM like some laser thing that tells "rockets" from like the ship you spawn on to nuke a vehicle in it's sight or is it just something that auto spots vehicles?

I only have like 5 minutes played as recon.

>>120782546
I doubt that they will. Which is a shame.
It's so useless the zooming isn't optimal and I have trouble to recognize anything.

>>120782579

No. EA told DICE to drop the project because it would cost too much. not surprised considering EA doesn't give two shits about what the community wants anyways. Anything DICE has done to help the community has been out of them, and not EA. If it were up to EA NOTHING would ever get done properly.

Hows the Usas with slugs? Is it still 1 hit to head and 2 to the chest with 3 at longer ranges?
