I it the new fad for the US team to try to steal the RU scout helicopter on noshahr canals conquest? Every time I play that map there's always a helicopter camping the RU spawn, giving zero fucks about the rest of the game.

frag shotguns are perfect for weeding out campers

>>442258
I'm not sure which is frowned upon more in the BF community.

>>442472

Neither since camping is part of objective-based games and the frag rounds only make you want to kill the guy more.

>>442472
Evil begets evil, my friend.

>>442258
Defending an mcom is not camping.

You know what's bullshit?

Two things:

1. Canister shot and the HEAT round not sharing a single cooldown

2. FUCKING FRAG ROUNDS FOR SHOTGUNS HOLY SHIT. Feels like you're being attacked by a fucking attack helicopter.

>>447287
They're not retarded enough to put this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkor_MGL
in the game, makes me wonder why the hell they thought explosive rounds for the shotgun would be a good idea when EVERYONE bitched about the USAS in BC2

>>442208
stealing vehicles and camping spawns with the helicopter is a bitch move

Played MW3 on steam during the free weekend, spent more time downloading it then playing it, went right back to bf3.

If u want to see great objective oriented teammates never for the love of god play domination on mw3

>>448979
shit son, I could have told you that

objective game modes on CoD have always been a joke.

>>448354
They are? Doesn't it get higher damage and an extended mag?

so, was there a patch yesterday?
because I saw a thread about it but origin won't update the game and there are no official news anywhere.

was it a troll thread?

guys!

>>453985

its probably just gossip, those were proposed changes awhile back.

>>442208
Hah.
Nope me and my bros been doing since day one.

>>453554
I smell bullshit.
Your teammates can't steal your shit from you.
Are you 9 years old?

>>454149
Friendly fire is on in hardcore servers.They shoot you out of the cockpit and take your vehicle.

I've clocked 3 service stars on recon, 1 on every other class, and now I can't decide which class I actually want to spend my time playing.

I'll change around to fill gaps in my squad, but even still, I just can't make up my mind.

I really wish they'd bring back Spec Ops.

>>454196

This. I'm not going to lie, I've done it to scrubs who shit up the skies and can't fly. Especially when I spawn on top of a jet from the spawn screen, you just shoot down and tax their jet.

>>452987
Every fucking game

I join and the first thing I do is ask people to squad up so I'm not in a squad by myself

And people wonder why they are always getting steamrolled

someone has the video with the glitch, where someone's lying at the ground and shoots, but the gun is coming out of his ass?

>mfw I still play BC2

>>454215
Support with M27/MG36 is spec ops.

Ignoring that enemy bases are out of bounds now for some fucking retarded reason.

>>454389

There are a lot of good servers that auto assign new joins to squads. The only problem with this is if you end up in a shit squad, most of the good squads will lock. But a good squad is better than none.

>>454452
You're not missing much tbh. I went back to BC2 after ~200 hours of BF3. In the thousands in BC2 now

>>454958

That's like complaining that a game which required XP wouldn't support Windows 95.

>>454958
Are you seriously wondering why a game released last year doesn't support a now 11 year old OS?

Noob question: can you destroy MCOM's with weapons/explosives like in BC, or do you have to arm them?

>>457060

No you can't, you have to arm them. You can't destroy them by dropping a building on them anymore either. It's really shitty.

>>457551

It's shitty, but at the same time it's better when defending because the attackers actually have to go in and arm it instead of going all jihad and using all the c4 they can to blow it up.

Probably your CPU as it the weakest part of your rig.

It lags like hell on some maps though, especially seine crossing when looking in certain directions.

Your CPU is fine contrary to what others are saying. I'd guess you have your GPU overclocked. I'd try running it at stock settings to see if that's a problem. If that doesn't work, try installing older drivers, the new ones may not be stable. Your CPU definitely isn't the problem.

Happened to me just an hour ago on Firestorm...

That's the fucking worst. The community in this game is fucking shit. That's what ruins this game for the most part. Hopefully a year from now, most of the retards will be gone and the userbase will no how to play the game.

Back then in Beta everything ran verywell. Maybe crashed once per 1-6 hours
I tried every driver for GTX560Ti that exist in this universe and only last one helps with green artifacts but now i get something like lagging, maybe it's HT?
Also I tried to overclok/underclock GPU, flash new BIOS, overvolt GPU but nothing helps.
I'm gonna try with different setting. Will see what happens :)

>>468979
your CPU is only 2 cores.
a 100 dollar quad core Phenom would run Bf3 better.
I would suggest you buy an I5. Cheapest one you can find.

>>473664

The CPU is fine.

I'm running with an i5 650 (2 cores) and a gigabyte 560ti with mostly 45 - 50 frames at 1080p.

Although, I had lots of trouble with the 560 and the game refused to play until I flashed the GPU's bios. It was flawless after that.

>>473664
I have a quad core phenom :D, runs the game brilliantly along with my XFX 6850

>>473853
People don't seem to understand that 2 cores doesn't mean bad performance. The i3 2100 is one of the best CPUs you can get on a budget <$150.

>>474008
yea, maybe if the game is optimized for it's hyper-threading but if not. It's just your average dual core.

>>474772

Are you retarded?

I have a dual core and BF3 runs fine on high at 1080p. HT or not.

>>475229

either that or you genuienly think '1080p' is a good monitor resolution, which is just as funny

>>475329

>>475329

You sound mad.

Are you really that ignorant?

It's nothing to do with 1080 being a good resolution, I'm merely implying that a dual core i3 can still run it flawlessly at those settings which you believe only a quad core could achieve.

>>475747
that wasn't me.
I just can't believe that you can play the game at medium settings at 50 fps. especially in a fight.

>>475583

>1080p is console tier

Consoles don't support native 1080, shithead.

Sounds too good to be true, what's the catch?

>>476087
You're a retard, both the 360 slim and the PS3 slim are 1080p native.

Both the Xbox and PS3 upscale which isn't the same as native.

Hey guys quick question

What kind of performance can I expect with

i5 2500k
8 GB RAM
560 ti

>>477049
you're fine.

>>477049

>>476752
I don't have a problem. Used it myself couple of times to boost myself on the roofs @ first Russian spawn on Metro. DICE fix it in the next patch because some 12year old kids cried about it

I usually hate FPS games.
The only one that I considered to be decent was CS.

My friend gave me a copy, and I guess I tried it out. It still feels like a generic FPS, but then...

I discovered the MAV.
That is when I instantly regained my hope for FPS games. Why the FUCK do people always argue with 'hurr realism' or 'hurr better graphics' fuck, nobody gives a shit.
What you want to be able to do is decapitate enemies with your helicopter slice-and-dicer. That in my opinion is what makes an FPS. Shit that makes me laugh and have fun again.

Are there any servers that have jets turned off.

I dont mind the maps that have jets on them, its just the jets are annoying as fuck when all it takes is one person that's decent with them to ruin everyone's fun on the ground.

>>476895
Get in here. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391485686486/

Played for first 4 weeks.
Best game I have ever played, regardless of squads.
People start unlocking cheap shit and game gets unplayable.

Seriously I played the game for one match and It was people using the mortar in the back and others camping stair wells with frag round shot guns.

Is there an update to the Origin workaround patch?

>>478947

Sweet

I applied, would be nice to play with a full squad of bro's for once.

showing your KDR on screen is what ruined this games community

in other battlefield games people wouldn't give a fuck about KDR because there was no way to see it on the scoreboard, only points.

People would either 1. go for the objective, actually play 2. sit back and snipe or 3. fuck around with vehicles/vehicle whore (i.e. using AT mines to fly quad-bikes in BC2)

now the community is fucked beyond redemption

The MAV is useful. If you use it well, you can get as much points as sniping people. For some reason I'm able to kill enemy MAV's without them, knowing because I usually stay in one spot and press the q button every five to ten seconds.

>>484125

c4 is really the most fun thing in bf now. i hit max rank so now i just entertain myself with c4 kills...my squad held down the russian base on oman just by hiding in the rocks by hotel and c4ing the shit out of their main road.

Fuck this shit.

Check Serega1311 on the Russian team

I lost count how many times I killed that guy. Poor fella never gave up trying to shoot my jet down, nor did he rage.

What the fuck happened to this game in the month of January?

My brother bought me Skyrim for Christmas, so I'd been playing that a ton and BF3 sparsely. Tired of Skyrim, so I go to play a few matches and get FUCKING STEAMROLLED every time.

Everyone has semi auto shotguns with frag rounds.

My teammates are worthless.

Even with a >1 k/d I'm still near the top of my team every time. Before January, playing the FUCKING objectives, I had a k/d of about 1.6. That's plummeted to 1.4.

I feel like I have to do fucking everything. Tank? Well better go Engineer. Whoops, got sniped. Gotta countersnipe because that guy's been sitting there for like a minute. Whoops, got killed by the tank again that's also been sitting in the same god damn spot spamming canister rounds at us.

Before, it was fun even when I lost. Now, all I do is lose, and it sucks.

Tags time, bitches. Throw em' up.

>mfw MAV is my top vehicle with 270 kills
There is nothing better than going around fucking people (primarily recons that used the MAV to get to a normally inaccessible building) up with it.
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/30357098/4/224860891/
I was top with it up until the last 2 MCOMs that are situated near the RU spawn. It started with me using it just to get a general view of the RU spawn and evolved into every RU trying to shoot down the MAV whenever they saw it. They did shoot it down a few times but luckily someone always left an ammo pack nearby. Last and only death came from someone killing me at the last moment of the match when I decided to just snipe people.

>>499404
meant rape chopper

>>498525

>>455000

no no don't... i love you tank commander

>>499521
Forgot to ask something; what does the MAV dogtag count? It says kills but as I mentioned, I've only 270 kills with it but the dogtag says I have 5xx "kills."

>>500092

Pretty sure it's just motion assists

The jet cockpit is a god damn clusterfuck compared to views from BF2. The only alternative view from cockpit is 3rd person.. what the fuck? I want it like BF2 where you can remove cockpit and only have the crosshair.

>>500167
In that case, what's the Surveillance dogtag for? Requires 5 motion? assist medals, unlike the MAV one which requires just 1

Until I get more C4 kills, this is what I'm rolling with. I hope it adds a little annoyance when people who die to my C4 jeep see it.

Professional services.

I was unable to play because Battlelog refused to work when I updated it. So when I was trying to uninstall it Avast flagged several files used for the uninstall as viruses.

I mean... really?

>>527386

Avast and battlelog don't play very nicely together. Even when you get both of them working together, Avast prevents invitations and partying up for some reason.

>mfw they are basically removing the ability for mavs to ram people next patch

Some of the patch notes for those who haven't seen.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/news/view/2832654779195992365//

If you don't care about your KD, you are a scrub, plain and simple.

The reason you don't care is because you're bad. If you weren't such a bad kid, maybe your KD would be something to be proud of.

be prepared to have your sausage spanked

>>527613

>http://www.symthic.com/f/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=471

Here are some more detailed changes.

>mfw Below Radar will make Helis immune to stingers and the likes

OH YES ALL I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NOW IS JAVS.

This game died way quicker than BC2. Hard to find full USA servers now that aren't operation metro 24/7.

>>528620

As a heli pilot, I actually think that's kind of stupid.

Removing the skill gap between pilots who can dodge stingers and those who can't is just retarded. All they need to do is add a fired tone for javs, and I'm happy. Stingers can stay the way they are.

Oh yeah, and they need to fix the handling of the Russian heli, because at the moment it's like a flying brick.

>>528308
Horrible ingame name, great right dog tag.

For some reason, anyone who has random numbers in their screen name makes me think they are insanely unoriginal.

>No ability to direct fire the javelin
>Tehran Highway
>Fire Javelin
>Hit's highway
>Ragequit.

>>528743
I have no idea what you are talking about, there are a SHITTON of European servers.

Get a better internet connection and play on those.

>>528830
>idiot shoots javelin towards highway
>hits highway because he's too idiotic to aim up a little
>quits because of his own lack of intelligence

Hope you never come back.

>>528818
I have the same thing with people who have anime avatars.

Except replace 'unoriginal' with 'faggy' or 'assburgy'.

>>528874
>Javelin flies upwards
>Comes back down and hits the highway
>Fire it from underneath, simply flies up and hits the highway

...

I used to go with the dinosaur tag, but now that you can buy that I switched to the handgun.

So, let's sum up the patch details.

Choppers are now even more OP while Jets get nerfed further.

FUCK THAT.

>>529135
Fuck you, the jets are overpowered as shit.

It's way too easy to take down a chopper with a jet.


Also, no more MAV elevators and kills.
This never really bothered me, but a lot of people were butthurt as fuck about it.

>>529593

Clearly you're an ignorant faggot who only sits in choppers and hasn't been on the receiving end of constant lock ons from choppers that stalk you across the map and proceed to rape your infantry while you fly in circles.

JET CAN KILL MY CHOPPER = OP

CHOPPER THAT FUCKS UP EVERYTHING ON THE GROUND = WEAK PLEASE BUFF IT SO I CAN KILL JETS JUST LIKE INFANTRY AND RACK UP NICE KDR'S

I just vomited in my mouth, you make me sick to my stomach.

>>528841
>mfw this guy proved yuropoors like to eat up shit

>Added Horns to all Jeeps.
Fuck yeah!

>>529593
So your saying that for the sole reason jets can kill a chopper quickly means that jets are completely OP?
With the new patch its even harder to dodge AA missles which you have to worry about constantly in a jet, bunch that with chopper buffs and the cannon nerf, how arnt chopers OP?

>>530026
>>529805
I'm saying that it is way, way too easy to kill a chopper with a jet.

No jet people on your team to keep the other jets busy = no chopper

>>530561
Well, it isn't going to change much, is it? Aside from the AA missile buff (which is fucking retarded), there will still be instances where choppers are going to get downed by a jet; it may take longer, but it will happen.

>>530561

That's mainly because jets are limited to what they can effectively kill. It's pretty difficult to kill infantry and if they aren't using rocket pods then good luck trying to kill tanks, so the easiest target would be a chopper who is too busy circle strafing flags to notice enemy jets.

Anyway, jets should be expected to kill choppers considering how much a good chopper pilot can desecrate infantry. It's just the food chain of the battlefield.

>>530963
You forgot about booping infantry, thats my favorite.

>fucking k/d ratio faggots

That feel when you realize conquest and rush almost entirely hinge on killing more bad guys then being killed by bad guys

Seriously, someone should make Shit Battlefield Players Say, and put that at the top

Pretty much all of the balance changes in this upcoming patch are fucking awful.

At least the general gameplay changes/fixes are a tiny baby step in the right direction.

Currently running a GTX 460 with an i5 2500k 3.3 with 4gb ram.

I can only run the game on low/med without fps drops/crashes. What do I upgrade first, gfx card or get more ram?

>>532226
that was not the point, faggot.

the point is bragging about a kdr of 2.0 when you should focus on objective.

Yet, on conquest and rush, most people do a kdr around 1.2, that's not high at all.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/news/view/2832654779195992365/

Upcoming patch notes, holy shit this is terrible, basically helis and air will get a massive boost

>>533381
At least that USAS-12 shit will hopefully stop. Most people who suck with air probably won't even notice a difference.

>>533381
Finally! They're improving the handling for the Havoc!

>>533228
More RAM, since it is rather cheap and get yourself a 64bit OS(preferably Windows 7).
The crashes are probably due to an overclocked/defective gpu, the 460 should be able to get an average of 40 fps with BF3.

>you can no longer multiple kills with MAV

Can I run this at the absolute lowest shit settings possible in a 64 man server (not that paris, underground map)?

All I require is +20 fps.

If not, what is my bottleneck would you say? Is it worth buying a cheap CPU for example to get it to run decently. Or should I buy a new rig.

I'm poor so I can't really afford buying a console even.

>>533228
Downclock your GPU to stock settings. I can pretty much guarantee that that is your problem.

>>534190
Time to master the EOD bot.

>>533381
At least F35 can break turn now and aren't completely useless against the Russians.
Still no analog stick deadzones, wtf.

>mfw flares will stop laser missiles, Mi-28 gets to yaw and climb like viper, and unguided stuff one shot kills airshit

The upcoming patch feels good man. but fuck DICE not giving full notes and only posting that when the shitty community threatens blackout

>>534252
They keep buffing the EOD, now it wont control like shit and can spot.
Prepare for it to be the next nerf.

>>532068
learn to aim a real rocket or keep cryan bitch nigga

>>533381
>stinger and other missiles lock times nerfed and other buffs to everything but range
>flares don't break locks but fool faggot laser missiles
>SAA gets air radar
>tank shells instagib them


air's looking better than ever, with removal of gunner flares only thing missing

>>534206
Forgot specs. Oh my god.

>>534470
GPU and RAM are fine.
CPU might me okay.
should handle a mix of settings, I run high/ultra with same card, but 8GB ram and i5 2500k

https://twitter.com/zh1nt0/status/172716867583090689
Dude what

>>534470

Yes, you can definitely run low. Probably even a mix of medium settings, what resolution?

also, why is everything so hot?

>-Guided Rockets will now only track ground targets, as originally intended.

Woah, woah, woah. That is not cool. Now heli vs heli warfare will revolve around heatseekers and the gunners only.

Also,

>-AA Missiles should no longer detonate before hitting their target or a Flare/ECM chaff cloud.

I hope this doesn't mean that they've removed the ability to dodge heatseekers.

>>534572
>everything hot (refer to picture)
My powersupply fan is kinda broken. it only spins when my PC lies down.
And I don't think it's out of the norm much anyway.
>>534538
I guess I'l pirate and see then by later then. Thanks.

>>534703

That would suck. It takes a skilled pilot to dodge heatseakers consistently and feels pretty badass pulling it off.

>>534703
They have claimed it will be harder to dodge though.

>PKP: Reduced recoil but added a slight initial recoil, increased damage at max range. The Pecheneg has a heavy vertical recoil with a hard hitting round and little drift, this makes it excellent at sustained fire.

So, I have a clan match today.

Anyone got any tips for Grand Bazaar and Operation firestorm?

>>534870

Dodging heatseekers without a building to hide behind in the attack heli is difficult enough as it is. You have to pull a perfect 180 turn to do it, and even then the results are kind of random.

>>535016

Grand Bazaar:

Don't get sucked into the whole meatgrinder in the alleyway. If everyone's bogged down in the middle, just leave some supports with LMGs behind to hold them up and take everyone else around the outside to cap the junction/highway etc.

Firestorm:

SOFLAMS, SOFLAMS everywhere. Javelins can win the map outright since it's so vehicle heavy. Conversely, the most important thing is to keep your damn tanks alive, since they are the gamewinners. This means killing their attack heli ASAP to give yours dominance (which in turn means that all of their tanks should end up smoking wrecks if your heli pilot isn't shit) and making sure that their jets are always occupied.

>Making the PKP even deadlier

>Defending on Kharg Island

Oh fuck, I just realised.

After the patch A2A missiles on the jets will be able to insta-kill other jets at close range because you can't break locks anymore. We'll have even more idiots who can't shoot for shit with their main cannon chasing enemy jets around instead of taking out tanks with pods and helping their team.

Tips for getting Suppression Ribbons? I don't have that many.

>>535751
I seriously can't wait for this patch. It's about goddamn time.

>>535593

I've learnt from experience that pilots who use heatseekers rely on them and rarely use the cannons.

>>535704

Below radar is an upgrade which is always activated and prevents A2A locking you at low altitudes

>>535775
Still retarded.

>>535775

>Below radar is an upgrade which is always activated and prevents A2A locking you at low altitudes

Yeah, it also presents the entire top of your plane to your enemy so he can mow you down with the main cannons. Regardless of whether he is a retard or not, it's almost always safer to just bank sharply in one direction and attempt to dodge the missiles or break the lock.

>>535950
I didn't make the rules, bro.

>>535959
Exactly, that's why I found it hilarious when nothing shot at me.

>>453701
Its always about those small moments that you always talk about
Was playing with some bros last night on 360 and we had both jets and were in the attack helicopter controlling the sky when we see the two enemy jets collide into each other in midair

How well am I doing medal wise?

Just posting this

Takes time to read, but it's all fucking good.
>2 swipe knife kill if not from behind
>MCS870 tweaked (a bit), other shotguns nerfed.
I'm ok with this

The list of changes is very long.

>>536345
I don't think I've ever stabbed more than five people, it's just too time-consuming and dangerous when you're in the heat of the battle.

I particularly hate those cunts that could've easily prevented an enemy ambushing me but decided they wanted a flashy knife kill instead

>>535772
- Set up your bipod in chokepoints and areas of high-traffic, preferably somewhere with cover for you to reload
- EXTENDED MAG, DO YOU SPEAK IT
- Don't bother aiming in because you'll get too picky with targets and there isn't any accuracy tradeoff anyway
- Rattle off a burst from time to time just to scare obscured fuckers back

And as for particular weapons it's up to you really, I personally prefer the heavier of the MGs like the Pecheneg and M60 but the M249's fire rate is fucking beast too

>>536645
Thanks man. Lately I've been using the RPK and the IAR. I'll give The Pig a try soon though.

>-Laser Guided missiles can now be distracted by Flares.

>-Reduced the damage AA missiles do to jets to 45%.
whiners always win

>>537801
Yeah fuck that, no way am I ever using the F2000 or the USAS again.

>>537841
what was/is the time for them to reload? Isn't it 10?

>>537274

>>537758
I'm kind of the same as you. Hate using recon. If you want a semi-automatic I'd go with the M39 or QBU-88. Personally I like using the QBU-88. It's accurate but has a long reload time and hold only 11 bullets, I believe. For bolt action either L96 or M98B. I use the M98B cause it IMO it's much better for long distance sniping. Only problem is that it hold 6 rounds and is the last unlock for Recon.

sooo....

MAvs now explode on splatter?

And no elevators now?

>-The Mi28 has received upgrades to its climbing and yawing abilities.

WHAT.. the AA was perfectly fine. Shitty armor but good weapon dmg

>>539853
>>453701

>>542354
Not sure why they reduced the damage vs. infantry either. I know it's not supposed to be an anti-infantry vehicle, but it takes like 8 on target shots anyway to take down a soldier: It's only good for killing downsyndromes that don't know how to move. Not like the old machinegun grenade launcher that the US had in BF2.

A) play recon and MAV up to kill enemy sniper

B)Grab a flying vehicle and commence rooftop rape

>>556782


Bipod is useless unless you're camping

>>556861
Bipod is useless unless you're defending
fixed that for ya

>>557034
Useless on TDM and Conquest

>>556861
>camping
>not taking choke points on metro and seine
>LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!!!

bipod for shits and giggles
i would not suggest m60 if you actually want accuracy, thing is like a shotgun most of the time, but not even useful in close quarters

>MAV can no longer be used as a killing machine
Fuck, it's the best way to be a recon.

>MAV can no longer be used as an elevator
fuck yeah, screw you recons that camp on those buildings on Karkand now you won't be able to get up there

>-Unguided tank rounds and RPGs will now instantly destroy Jets, Attack Helicopters, and Scout Helicopters.

>In a tank
>Helicopter is being annoying
>Decide to shoot it down
>Hit them after missing a few times
>Only hit the tail
>Heli spins out of control and crashes
>No points for me, marked as a suicide for them
>mfw
Now I shall kill everything as a tank.

It sure seems like they buffed the Helicopter a lot.

>>557765
Fuck yeah

>>555332


I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE COMMON SENSE WHEN IT COMES TO BALANCING ISSUES LIKE JETS V CHOPPERS


JETS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER YOU ASSHOLES.

AND WITH ALL OF THIS SHIT DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY'RE FIXING SEMI AUTO SNIPER RIFLES?

looks like they're fixing gunplay for good but doing so unbalanced shit here and there wit vehicles


and of course taking away 1 of the last exploits there was in battlefield


That shit was fun man.

>>557765

Those recons hardly ever cause any real damage.

people just get buttmad cuz they can't easily shoot em.

you know easy it is to just mortar them off of the building?

Seriously man with that glitch they're taking away they'll be adding quick scoping.

and yet we STILL CAN'T FUCKING QUAD LAUNCH ANYMORE

We should be able to plant more mines man....

>USAS-12 anf FAMAS whoring.

>>537274

Op forgot
>getting kills with the MAV

>Tried to play last night.
>All Australian servers bar one Metro campfest with original maps are dead.

No fucking way I'm shelling out $20 AUD so I can play some ported BF2 maps. Fucking EA.

>>557765
I absolutely hated this but goddamn if I'm not going to miss MAV killing.
>>557976
I think the SKS is getting an upgrade. I don't see why snipers need to kill a close range. If you want to be an up close Recon, put remove the scope from the semi-automatics and go in.

>>558597

>ported bf2 maps

boy have i got some news for you

>AN94: Reduced vertical recoil.
>G3A3: Increased damage at all ranges, reduced vertical recoil.
>FAMAS limited to 25 rounds
SCAR-H: Increased damage at maximum range and increased max range
>laser sight gives more of a bonus
>bipod is better
>unguided rockets and shells 1 hit aerial vehicles
>semiautos don't fuck up when you click too fast
>flash suppressor doesn't ruin accuracy
>EOD bot is controllable
>horns

This update is going to be great

>most shotguns nerfed, USAS buffed
This confuses me
I don't think it's currently overpowered, but I'm tired of seeing it and it probably will be OP after this

>Narrow down server browser to East Coast US, 64 players, Conquest, and 1-5 open slots
>7 servers
What the fuck? When did the game become so dead?

>>558712
Frag rounds and the USAS were the only problems. Nerfing all the shotguns save for the 870 is ridiculous.

my god you guys are really dense

connect the damn dots

>faster animation in and out of prone
>ohk bolt actions within 15m to upper torso
>only definitive close quarters weapons (shotguns) are shit

its fucking obvious. theyre catering to the community. the cod community. say hello to bc3, this time with dropshotting

>>558865

its been dead for a while, all the veterans save a few jumped ship because its a steaming pile of shit

only people left are cod kids and thats why you see all these retarded changes coming out of dice

you cant even play normal with health regen turned off.

unless you play old games, bf is officially dead. you cannot play it how we have been since 2002 anymore

>>558948
Getting out of prone faster changes nothing, it's not like you're supposed to exit prone when there's people nearby anyway.

Shitty shotguns are still better and easier to use <15 meters than a ohk sniper rifle

>>558948
We've mentioned it the whole "OHKO" bolt action rifles multiple times. Of course the vocal group is getting what they want. If you want to get it changed, send them multiple messages. For added effect, tell them this game is becoming the same as MW.

>>559203

buck and flechettes

reduced from 12 pellets to 9

reduced pellet damage from 20 to 16

that means that each hit from a shotgun has to have over 80% accuracy within 8m to ohk you

bolts have twice the ohk range and upper torso region is simple to hit. dice will probably make it bigger than it should be to appeal to quickscopers.

have fun 3hking these guys, they only need one hit registered

>>559330

>becoming the same as MW

oh boy are you in for a surprise

it has been since 2010

>>559027
Well, considering:
>horrible design decision
>lying to the pc community
>expensive game hosting
just no name a few reasons, I'm glad I can still play BF2142 even if it's gilbraltar 24/7.

>>559725

same for all the games

even if the only servers left are 24/7 karkand infantry only grenade fests, shit is still more balanced than bf3

i just wish i could play a full game of bfv again

>you will never use caltrops in online play again
>implying the average bf player even knows what a pungi stick is

shit is sad

Why do the RPK and M27 suck?

Hey /v/. I'm hoping some of you guys can give me tips on how to be better at this game. I'll list some of the basics I already know and some faults you can help me on.
>Current Level:3
>PC
>Assault Class with Defib+Med pack
>Haven't unlocked any other guns yet but I run the AR with no optics (ACOG/4x are only things unlocked depending on the weapon)
>Primary Game mode: Rush
I'll start off by saying I know this isn't COD and I try and play with that mindset but going negative every round can really hurt the team. As far as my auxiliary items go if i see a group of people I will toss down a med kit, even more so at the MCOM stations if I can make it there without dying. I try and defib whenever possible, assuming there isn't a mass of enemies around, though that isn't always possible. My problem is it just seems I'm dying way to much. I'll kill one person only to get mowed down by some unseen guy or I will be trying to defuse/plant and even though the coast is clear and my teammates are with me it always seems I'm the only one to be gunned down. As far as CQC I almost always lose, unless I catch them off guard. I know to ADS and burst fire but it's just like their gun is so much more powerful. What are some ways I can get better at this game and really rack up the score? I hardly ever lag and my mouse sensitivity is at around mid with the custom setting being around 1800DPI ( max 5600). I use a Razer Naga Epic but I also own a Logitech MX 518, though i don't use it because I'm so used to my Naga. I also play with a headset.

is it just me or do they have less destruction in this than bc2?
as in buildings to blow holes in to run through and shit, and collapse

>>560656
because they dont

>>561470
It takes like a million bullets to kill someone with them. I always end up dying, even if I'm shooting first.

>>561524
Use silencer + grip on them. They're unbelievably accurate, easily the most accurate LMGs

>>561325

But if you damage and blow up buildings, you hurt DICE level designer's feelings...

Protip: shitty games die fast.
Especially when css, and bf2 are still going strong.
Not to mention tribes.

>>561547
I've been using those. It seems like half of my shots aren't registering or something. I also use the Holographic sight.
