Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

The AN94 has the second shot kicking up too high at a distance, when it should be just about in the same grouping as the first shot. I assume this is the fix they made in the Dec 6th patch.

Yep.

It fires slower than other rifles, has larger spread... it just feels... bad. Waiting for Dec6th, no reason to use it. It's not even close to "avg".
 
And that's why those 64 player Metro servers are always jam packed with at least half a dozen people on the queue.

I try and play on http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf...alTerror-org-1-HC-NO-ROCKETS-M320-24-7-Metro/
TacticalTerror.org #1 HC NO ROCKETS/M320 24/7 Metro

its a 64 player metro with no rocket or M320 and it auto kicks you if you do use one.
Its easily the best metro server, its actually fun and probably better for leveling upgrades for guns as your able to make many more firearm kills instead of just rocket kills(that dont lead o anything).

Are you serious , the Admin reset the games when his friends are loosing, It's happen to me 3 times last week, lost my points everytime . Aside it's a cheaters fest there, it's there I get knife in the Russian building base at the start of the game..

Thats true. The admin hacks it up hardcore, and his clan cheats...but thats like so many servers.
 
AN94 blows :(

My fav gun and they made it the crappiest one in the game.

I disagree. It may not be as incredible as it was in BC2, but it's still very powerful and very accurate. Don't use the burst shot, keep it on fully automatic and just tap it at long ranges. The only downside is its slow fire-rate tends to lose out against carbines and the likes of the F2000 in close quarters.

I don’t mind to loose 10k but those poor guy who have hard time to make 1000 points in a round, I don't think they deserve to lost them . I find 2 or 3 with no rocket and tube, they come more and more populars, I will see if I have in my fav. list

Yeah...I have NEVER played a 64-player Metro match. Just seems really lame.

You are missing a lot of fun. In Conquest mode it is very important to get Flag B there to win. I was in 2 matches where flag B was conquested by enemy at the begining of the game but we managed to get it back both times. It was tough but hell a lot of fun :)

Is the us team actually able to win? I played a few times and as russian its basically a free win with no effort. Recently I just find a new server when it comes up in rotation.

Anyone else feel like the shotguns are mostly useless. Takes like 3 shots to kill, they fire so slow and you gotta be basically on top of who ever your killing. Not talking about the usas/frag combo.

I tried a 32 man last night, since it had been a while, and it is just a giant M320, grenade, SMAW spamfest. Nobody even tried to get the flags, everyone just camped at the stairs and lobbed grenades back and forth. I guess it's good if you want a lot of heal/resupplies/revives, but seemed pretty pointless. Maybe it was a bad server, but...meh.

It is possible for the U.S to win if:
A) The US team is really good/stacked
B) the Russian team is really incompetant

I've been been on the US side winning and the Russian side losing a few times on that map due to the above reasons.

And yes 64 player is a fragfest. I only play it if it comes up during the map rotation on a good server.
 
I got banned from Turd Ferguson's BC2 Vietnam server for "hacking" and now I'm banned from their BF3 server for "hacking".

Awesome.

Wait until the idiots at metabans get going on BF3 and you get banned from 100+ servers at a time because you shot the wrong immature admin.
 
Is it just me or do silencers on sniper rifles suck ass? Your round goes super slow and the bullet drop is terrible. Not to mention the reduced damage. No way I'll be using one. I end up just leaving that slot empty, as the flashlight and laser also suck.

Ya it's normal as they do so also in real life

I dunno, it just doesn't feel like Battlefield to me. The larger Conquest maps like Firestorm and Caspian just feel better.

My biggest gripe with the map (besides the horrible grenade spam) is that it is a fixed path type of map. There is no way to get behind or around the other team to try to take flags behind them - it is just a stalemate in the tunnels every time. At least Damavand allows you to chopper in to the back point and mix up the action a little, but Metro is just a grind at the stairs. Now if they let you go around the map on the surface as well as the tunnels, then it would be more like a Battlefield map.

If you're sniping, it's pointless since you'll rarely be close enough to anyone to show up on their radar.

If you're a marksman, as in engagements within 50 meters, it'll help keep you hidden from knifers.

What do you guys use for your camo? I still use the default lol. Would changing it improve my survival? I dont have spec ops so thats not an option. Level 29 atm.

I find camo quite useful when doing close-range marksman work as Recon on Caspian Border (paratrooper camo + M98B + ACOG). No scope glint to give me away, and the camo makes me much harder to see when I stick to bushes.

Shotguns are extremely deadly. close to medium they do insane damage. Id say everywhere but caspian they are effective.
 
Suggestion: round losses (and wins) don't count against you if the game ends within two minutes of you joining a server.

:mad:

Yep...really stupid. I've joined a game with like 3 tickets left before and never even made it to spawn before "losing" the match. :rolleyes:

Best thing to do is just not pay attention to W/L ratio and other stats like that, or it will just perpetually piss you off.

I've joined before and when the game goes full screen (from BattleLog) I'm sitting at the "Your Team Lost" page - which seems ridiculous.

The ACOG doesn't have scope glint? :cool:
 
Yep.

[AN94] fires slower than other rifles, has larger spread... it just feels... bad. Waiting for Dec6th, no reason to use it. It's not even close to "avg".

I wonder if DICE deliberately made the gun bad to troll all of the AN94-whores from Bad Company 2...

Ranger Camo on Damavand/Seine/Metro/Bazaar, Expeditionary Force on Kharg/Firestorm/Canals, Woodland Pattern on Caspian Border.

Anyone know if there is a console command to make my crosshair smaller?

Not lookin forward to the AT mine nerf. I love mines, and with them being so visable as it is, removing them when you die will make them so useless. 90% of my points as engineer are from mines.

I love on caspian, dropping lines of mines around the antenna on the road between the RU base and the gas station. but limiting you to 5, 5 that are gone 20 seconds after you die is shit. Tanks are already extremely hard to kill....even a direct rpg to the rear dosnt cut it, hell, even a direct rear hit with the jav doesnt kill a tank.

Yeah... because they're tanks. Think for a second about what you just said and how ridiculously cheap and even more overpowered the engineer class would be if they could one-hit tanks.

Pretty much. It makes me wonder why hey bothered including conquest versions of Metro and Damavand when they're basically fucking Rush anyway.

it's temporary fix probably to help push the patch out before karkand releases.

At the end of the day, DICE does whatever that appeals to the crowd.

Judging by the number of users in Metro 24/7 conquest servers and the constant queue of users, seems like the struck gold with that map.
