Metro= 24/7 chokepointfest

Battlefield has always been about wide open maps with vehicles. Metro is inf only, not too crazy about it.

I think if they added more routes it wouldn't be so bad. One the US gets to the buildings across the street from the Russian spawn it's 99% of the time 32 people battling over spawn kills, or shooting anyone trying to cross the giant open rift. If there were a few side tunnels, or underground passageways, or just more cover, the Russians could retake the building and force them back. As it is, it's pretty one sided.

Is anyone else addicted to 64-player 24/7 Metro conquest?

I enjoy playing Metro. Great for practicing my gunplay(burst firing, aim control etc). The map could use more paths though. Maybe a way to go above ground, and then enter back into the tunnels, that would be interesting.

Yeah, it can get boring when it turns into spawn rape. But about 50% of games have the majority of fighting occurring over point B, and those are fun as hell.
 
About a week in now playing this and starting to get "better" in MP... So I start watching some random vids on how some of it works since I find it uncanny that someone can shoot through steel garbage cans, double-stack walls, etc. I tend to focus on the kind of cover I'm behind so I don't get blown away, yet somehow bullets still seem to "find" me.

Anyways, video shows me a dozen ways to exploit different game mechanics to up my kill count. Game is fun as hell, but watching it just turned me off. At this point to keep up I'll have to start pulling the same shenanigans.

OK, done whining, going to go "pre-fire" some corners and screw with guys who use the prone position to hide behind cover...

“We always want to show a platform that we have chosen to be our lead platform. In this case we did choose PC as the lead platform; it’s the one that has been, mostly, driving development forward. That is the reason why we have spearheaded a lot of the key assets with this as well.”

“We said originally that the PC was the lead SKU of the game, but in mid-production we switched to console as lead platform to make sure we could get all the versions done for release,”

Hell, I would be happy with even 1942's minimap!

BTW, that's not BF1942's minimap. That is Wake Island being played on BF2. That map shows China vs USA, not Japan vs USA. It also shows a blue jet and red assault rifle icons among other things. ;):p
Your point still stands though.:cool:
 
MAV pussies are so annoying. Seems like since the upcoming patch is going to fix it they are getting every kill they can before it gets released.

it's so fucking easy to kill, i really do not understand the bitching.

like if you can't hear a lawnmower flying at you then you deserve it.

Only seen mav kills twice in the last few months. The other day I got maved in the back :p and the other was by me on caspian. :D I actually find it hard to control the mav and give props to those that are able to keep it in control to get kills. Im always hitting stuff with it.

I shoot mavs on sight once they are close enough to kill and dont consider it a big problem.

Anyone wanna squad up and play? Got sent home for lack of work. And Im bored.

Hey Snapshoota its Stefawn from tonight! Man we be rocking it, it really is a whole new game when you play with people that work together! I had a blast!
 
I'm guilty of MAV killing. It's just so damn fun zipping through people. Sad to see it coming to an end.

It's not that obvious on 64-player DM servers. Explosions and gun-fire are super loud compared to that thing. I also like to concentrate on killing people. If I have to worry about a damn fly buzzing around between buildings and shit, it detracts from killing the enemy. Also as a Recon, it's not the easiest thing in the world to kill with just a pistol. All the while the dude is sitting back at spawn safe and sound. There's a reason it's being nerfed, you know.

I have little issue seeing what I need to on teh NF3 map. of course it could be better, what couldnt be better? but its not utter trash. are you guys colorblind?

I stand corrected, but glad to see that others agree with my point :cool:
 
If the glow-worms bother you, use the color-blind HUD option. I have for months and it's a LOT better; it gets rid of most of that neon glow around text and icons. I wish I could find a comparison screenshot somewhere online, but I'm having no luck.
 
talking about color blind mode, I had to turn it on, I couldn't see the difference between my squadmates and enemy, now it's clear.

edit:
Had a crazy win yesterday on Sharqi, 2 ticket left we were down like 100 tickets at some point.

Man, I've been using color blind mode since BC2 and never looked back. So much easier to see and distinguish stuff with it on.

Sorry about that..
 
Im having a bitch ass time connecting to servers wth BF3. I'm on a fiber connection so I'm not sure whats up but it takes me like 8 tries to get on a server. Any ideas?

Try disabling the SSDP service in Windows 7 (it will also disable the uPnP service as well). It happens with me with FiOS; I'm sure it has something to do with port forwarding, but I have been too lazy to look into it :p

I had fios before and thought it was amazing, had no trouble with battlefield and it.
Check router/modem settings.

Well that's another thing they are changing in the patch. If you run into something/someone at high speed it destroys the MAV now. So no more bullshit where they can fly haphazardly into a tight area and just bounce around on everything.
