I wouldn't have a problem with this...however, when you get half a dozen of these people on your team, it starts to become very unbalanced when the other team has half a dozen more contributing players.
If people want to be a lone wolf that doesn't help the team they should go play DM.
I can't help but scratch my head at the sniper who has 2-1 and 640 points at the end of a round when other people on the team have 15-5 and 4000 points. I wonder which one was a greater asset to the team? Not saying all snipers are like this but it sure seems common.
My gosh...for a GAME you people don't seem to be having much fun
just because you haven't figured out a way to be useful with a bolt action rifle doesn't mean nobody else has. that's the topic we're discussing...not whether or not some sniper that went 2-1 is useful.
on a related note - last night i was playing Metro rush as recon and i armed and destroyed the first two mcomms while some whiner kept chastising all the 'worthless sniper noobs' on our team (there were 3 of us that i could see). the dipshit was in my squad and kept using my mobile spawns to get behind or near the enemy lines....all the while bitching and moaning about 'snipers'.

And you need to realize that when people are bitching about sniper noobs they aren't talking about all recons, or even the decent snipers. They are talking about the wannabe's, the one's who don't advance, barely get any kills, never lay down mobile spawn points, never spot enemies, never contribute anything to the team. You obviously don't fall into this category.just because you haven't figured out a way to be useful with a bolt action rifle doesn't mean nobody else has. that's the topic we're discussing...not whether or not some sniper that went 2-1 is useful.

Hmm... well... don't be a victim here. Tell them they need to contribute. If they don't, you've done your piece and move on. Maybe they don't know better and you'll help someone out. Maybe they just suck at being snipers. Whatever the case, it's not in your realm of controllable variables. Play your best and have some fun. This is not behavior specific to BF3 - it happens in every online MP game. People don't play the same way - go figure.
If that sniper was spotting the whole game, he most likely allowed his teammates to get 4k+ scores, I do not believe most snipers do this though.
I still say they need to make it so you have to be prone in order to get anything above 70% accuracy with a sniper rifle.
has spotting changed? If it did I like it better, in BC2 you could just spam the key, now after a couple presses in a short amount of time i get a little error like tone
True, it's just frustrating. I generally do try to acknowledge the issue in chat, but I'd say 90% of the time it's just ignored. Trying to find servers that are well-administrated and aren't full of those types of jackasses is the hard part.
Agreed on all points. And yes, still after what, a few weeks, people STILL rarely spot from what I've seen. It's kind of gotten to the point of hilariously absurd.

Seriously dude, decaf.
I have to wonder why you have this game-you seem to hate everything about it.
And if I was admining a server where you were puposefully TK'ng, I'd permaban your ass in a heartbeat too.
Agreed. There is no reason to purposefully TK people. Ever. There is a chat feature in BF3 - use it. If that doesn't work, move on and play or find a new server. There are at least 3 or 4 BF3 servers out there.
Glad you're not a server admin, then. If some idiot kept taking a vehicle and just camping doing nothing with it the entire round, I'd ban his ass.
And TBH the more I play this game the more frustrated I get, so I think it's realistic to become annoyed with it. They need to work on balance issues ASAP.
I got my first 2 hackers account's banned today Reported them to EA with links to battle logs of them clearly dominating the scene, EA replied with an automated email saying they are investigating the accounts, and now the two accounts no longer exist.
-Oh, and from personal observation, the only place I've ever seen hackers is on 64 player servers. Since I spend most of my time on 32p servers, it makes sense that I rarely see them.
this...play mw3 then bf3 and tell me they are in the same ball park, and we will know said person is insane
vs. being useful
I play recon exclusively.
I spend most of my time slinking around stealing capture points and assassinating the enemy snipers by spotting them with the MAV and sneaking up behind them. I typically am within the top 3 players on my team point wise, and I tend to avoid the slug fests entirely. Basically, BF3 is a game that can be played many ways...
I'd like to point out that the other night I managed to go 30-9 on Operation Firestorm, on the Russian side, just defending the last 2 flags next to the main Russian spawn, as Recon with the EMR w/ silencer & bipod, & the silenced pistol. Even better, I managed to set a personal record for a kill streak of 17 somehow. It was even a hardcore server. It was mostly just killing the stragglers and sneaky enemy squads that tried to get past the front lines. I love silenced weapons.
Recon can be incredibly useful, and I'd probably be more of a detriment to our team by trying to fly a jet or heli, because I'd probably end up 0-10.
Only class I haven't completed is Recon, I used the MAV on Seine Crossing, got 11 surveillance ribbons (5 assists for each one), I had two mortars blowing the shit out of anything I spotted seconds later.
I just got the MAV unlocked myself, I'm going to have to give it a shot, especially since you apparently can't get the motion sensor ribbon with the T-UGS for some reason, even though it's a motion sensor and the MAV isn't really?

Just played another round that was like 6v6...eventually 4 of the people on one team left and despite several requests on the chat, not ONE FUCKING PERSON would switch teams. It went on as 2v6 for like 10 minutes before I just quit the goddamn server.
There REALLY needs to be some sort of auto team balance if that happens.
LOL, maybe you guys should hold hands and sing a song. There are soooo many reasons to team kill it isn't even funny. If anyone team kills me first, I go out of my way to hunt them down just out of principle and I always find them. You'd rather ban the #1 player on the server for trying to light a candle under the butt of some newb for wasting/hoarding a key item ALL GAME while the other teams air assets rape your team and cause you to lose instead of getting rid of the newb doing the hoarding?
That just shows how bad of a player you are. Oh and by the way, disappearing limited chat windows that no one pays attention to during the round doesn't exactly make for efficient communication.
Good thing I am not the only non-pansy in this thread.
Oh and by the way, just because I point out obvious flaws in the game doesn't mean I don't play/like it. I think this is one of the best games I've ever played lol.
If they fix a lot of the issues it will be epic.

If I was the admin I will permently ban you for make your on justice on my server.
