Just unlocked the MAV, drat it's a thing of beauty. It's a little tricky to get used to the controls, but oh so fun to harass people with.

limited posted:I've got a RAM ME target on my back, but it does get pretty comical even being on the recieving end, lurching left and right while a MAV hovers like a serpent about to strike, then diving to one side and dying because it clipped your elbow. This. I feel like speed dependant/location damage should be implemented for vehicles. Seriously, getting killed because a humvee brushed up against you at 7 mph is absurd. If it hits me head on at that speed damage/character movement should happen, not instant death. While I don't expect this to be implemented, I think the unrevivable state after getting hit needs to go. You just got blown up, let me shock you back to life.

Decided to give the AN-94 a chance. After some adjustment to it's handling I was murdering like a champ with it. The 2 shot burst is really handy for counter-sniping and ammo conservation. Then I realized you can switch to full auto. loving murder machine.

It totally does, but for CQ full auto trumps burst. Took me about 45mins of using it to realize it had auto.

Gonna chime in to say that the M16 kicks rear end. Super accurate with short bursts, fast reload. Too bad it's selection as your weapon doesn't persist from match to match.

I submit that hardcore more was infinitely better in BC2. Seriously, gently caress the minimap and friendly identifiers (I think those are in this hardcore mode). If I'm playing a hardcore mode it should be closer to reality. Granted it makes recon "useful" or potentially at any rate what with the tugs and the mav.

GruntyThrst posted:If the game played anything like reality I'd support stuff like no friendly identifiers, but this is a game where jets fly 70 MPH and you can sprint carrying a full combat load forever. Battlefield has never been about realism, and there's nothing fun about killing teammates repeatedly because every character model looks drat near identical and unlike most real engagements you don't have a general idea of where your friendly forces are since they can spawn all over the map. Except the game was billed as being realistic... I never expected full on realism, but I was hoping it wouldn't be stunted. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm generally pretty good at differentiating between factions on visuals alone, minus those dude runs around a corner moments. I suppose the minimap could serve the situational awareness function if limited to your forward and periphery. dog nougat fucked around with this message at Feb 6, 2012 around 06:32 |

Sorry for bailing ChalupaJoe, console locked and I had to go to bed anyway. That was shaping up to be a pretty good set of Rush matches too. Seriously, how difficult can it be to make a game that was in development for ________ period of time, with known hardware (consoles at least) not freeze during loading screens? It's not as if this is the first game they've ever made. This seems to happen to me almost every time I play.

I hopped on one of the "[Dice] Infantry Skirmishes" servers last night, had a blast. It was refreshing to not have to play conquest exclusively. Sienne Crossing is actually a pretty spectacular TDM map. It was also real nice to have a single Rush map thrown in. It may have just been the team I was with too, but everything felt better. People were reviving and dropping ammo. I feel like specific servers for specific interests is a good thing. I'll have to check out some of the other versions and rotations, but I see this change as nothing but a good thing.

GANDHITRON posted:On a side note, does anyone really like the server changes? I've been meaning to try more Conquest, but I haven't been able to get on as much as I used to, so when I do, I'd rather play Rush. I think in the long run this could be a change for the better; I was just really dismayed when I skimmed the last five or so pages and thought things would never be the same, I like it. It breaks up the monotany of playing a single game mode constantly and forces you to play in new ways. Unfortunately, when the game mode changes the server empties out a bit, but that happens normally when a map changes. I really don't get why most people seem so adamantly opposed to this change. Different strokes I guess.

So far it seems pretty sweet. The HAVOC can actually turn now!! The Maintaining a lock after flares are popped makes it far easier to take out air vehicles now. So far the horn seems buggy for me. It worked once and I haven't had any luck getting it to work again. edit: the horn totally works and others can hear it. dog nougat fucked around with this message at Mar 27, 2012 around 20:08 |

Well, the weapons handle a lot differently. It really takes more controlled bursts of fire to take dudes down. Laying into the trigger at anything than super short ranges will just supress. It also seems like the SCAR and the G3 have been buffed. One thing nobody's mentioned is the new sound effects. The .50 cal HMG now sounds different as well as the sounds a vehicle makes when taking fire. Minor changes but they help to make a more immersive experience. That being said its still kinda glitchy. So far its only the 443, but some of my unlocks aren't registering as unlocked. I've also been having weird hit detection issues like shooting 6 rockets at a tank and seeing a hit but not registering. Same for stingers. I think there's something wonky about the hit detection all around, but I can't be 100%. Just need to do more research. dog nougat fucked around with this message at Mar 28, 2012 around 18:08 |

It seems between the 2. They're both strong, but not absolute surprise sex machines. One thong I have noticed is that the AK74 really benefits from the changes. It's low Rof really help it maintain accuracy with sustained fire.

Cannot Find Server posted:The guns are total poo poo. Disagree completely. Shooting a dude on the move is difficult in real life and requires extensive training. Why should it be super easy in a video game? I think the gunplay is where this title shines honestly. Just like real life, laying into the trigger is generally not going to net you anything but supression. Granted because its a game, people generally run around like tards. Just because of that, you shouldn't be granted an instakill. I want a reasonably realistic yet fun shooter, not a super soldier simulator. dog nougat fucked around with this message at Apr 5, 2012 around 22:09 |

Fair enough. I find the more accurate approximation of gun handling in BF3 vs laser cannons of BC2 to be more fun honestly. I think it more accurately reflects the inherent skillz or a possible lack of said skillz that you'll find in reality. I just think its more fun that way. Different strokes.

You assault goons need to step up your AEK game. I'm currently dominating by almost 1k killz or 10 service stars. Just toss a flash supressor to make the recoil manageable.  edit:smug dog nougat fucked around with this message at Apr 7, 2012 around 02:51 |
