BF3 the voice acting quality is down a bit, unfortunately. I looooved BC2, the yelling was a really good compromise between over-the-top funny and gritty swearing. BF3 has... it's way too ridiculous.

"I'm getting hosed in the rear end over here!"
"Have a grenade, you fuckers!"
"Gimme some loving ammo!"

Yeah you can still use grenades to scout. I just wish you could refill grenades from ammo boxes (you can't can you? I swear I've tried a bazillion times and they never come back).

"I'm getting my poo poo pushed in over here!" bothers me the most for some reason.

Last night I looked right at a dune buggy and said something like 'GIVE. ME. A. loving. RIDE.' which was kind of funny because people always drive off on those things without gunners.

Oh yeah, that sound effect was awesome, and I do miss it. What I don't miss though is hearing my guy say stuff like, "come 'ere, you fucker!" whenever I knife out a window pane.


God I loved the sound and feel of knifing in BC2. One of the first times I was playing online with goons my roommate was on the couch watching. I go to knife someone and get the classic *SCHUNK!* into their skull and she goes "oh, gently caress!!!" It was pretty great

I think they could have easily incorporated that abruptness into the take-down animations.

You can, it just takes forever. If the ammo box is even partly depleted, chances are you won't get any grenades back from it. Part of the reason I always roll with Squad Grenade spec.

They made it take forever because in BC2 you could stand at the top of a hill (like on Rush defense of Valparaiso set 4) with an ammobox at your feet and just loving rain frags on the attackers. It was bullshit, and I'm glad it's gone. Of course I did it. It's even in my BC2 OP under kit specific tips for Assaults.

The granadelauncher restocks really fast though, but I think that's fair since assault no longer gives ammo.

Just a heads up, but this isn't true. Grenades just take longer than c4, ammo, etc. and it's somewhat random. Sometimes I'll throw down an ammo box, sit on it and bombard a tunnel/bottleneck/whatever with 10-15 grenades in a row.

C4 is really the only viable infantry way to take down a tank. The fact that they stay after death there isn't really any point taking any other skill.

drat if recon isn't the worst. My only strategy against tanks is to run up and have them bail thinking I'm a support with C4. When it works it's awesome.

Grenades just seem to take 4 years to reload.

I find the repair tool to be the best infantry way to take on a tank. One direct hit from a rocket in the back will disable the tank. From there most people start running away, but if they stay in then you just man up and pull out that repair torch. If you they jump out, just jump in and you get a free tank!

I like how the longer you ask a pubbie for ammo, the angrier your guys voice seems to get.

Also, defending the second set on Damavand with the Z11 is easy mode. Someone locks on, flares, dip below the cliff until they recharge, do it all again.

I still kind of like the voice acting they added more voices in combat compared to bc2 imo. I will say the progressive cursing is over kill.

Unfortunately though, spotting is context sensitive. So you can't spot an enemy boat unless there is, in fact, an enemy boat.

Alright let me give you some pro-tips

*When using the minigun there are two rectiles one that is fixed and one that moves around somewhere in the middle of the two is where your rounds are going
*Fly low and fast you should pre meditate on a high traffic area to hit. A good scout helicopter pilot can fly really close to the ground and light bitches up(and not killed in the process). Flying low also makes locking hard. For example on the final base on canals ill get about 10 feet of the ground in there walled in base area and circle strafe for about 20 seconds then bug out
*if you get hit on damavand peak bug out to the open area where people basejump from. Hit a and switch to the side whip out your repair tool and fix yourself up.

I can get lost in all these online stats for a while. This is a great game for stat spergs like myself. Not that I care enough about what the numbers are and how to maximize them, I just like to see that they're there.

I was looking at the overall list for the weapons, I love how it's a gradual incline as you scroll up, getting a little sharper and then it ramps the gently caress up with the SAW. It's really that good of a gun, huh?

I do like the takedowns, I still jump when I'm lining up a RPG or whatever and grab-stab. Definitely much better than the usual swipe at thin air, blood spatters, etc.

I jumped on the infantry servers ( When they were up that is ) and the game is 100% more tolerable with pubbies when you don't have to rely on them to help you take down a tank, or worry about someone hijacking your tank or aircraft to make the game ragequit worthy.

Anyway, am I being dumb or does the EoD bot always gently caress up on the right side? I took it out on the infantry server to see if I could score some kills with it, but no matter what map, or even on a straight bloody road the right track goes tits up and I end up going in a circle.
