Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

I tried a Large Conquest today, that shit was the worst. It was some train station and it was just an explosion fest. I decided to try it out ONE time, just to see what the other modes were like. Back to Deathmatch I go. :/

haha QFT - metro 64 conquest is just for leveling to be honest. Try *any* of the other maps and you'll have a much better impression. BF = conquest to me, the other modes are just bonuses.

Has anyone noticed how the times as each team don't add up correctly? Like, I have about 110 hours played, but it says my time as the US & Russian is only about 30 hours each. What gives?

The difference is due to how much time is wasted in between rounds and during map changes ;)

Couldn't agree more.

Hmm, well I tend to play mostly on 1000 ticket servers which can easily last a couple hours per round, I don't think the end of the round & map change would add up to 45% of my total time. Maybe it only keeps track of the time you're actually alive? So all the time you're sitting there dead looking at the spawn menu isn't counted.

I dont think it counts the time you are in a vehicle as part of the team. I did a quick add of my time in vehicles+both teams and I was a hour short. If I did it exact I might have added up to my total time played. So that hours played for team might only include infantry only.

for the hell of it i just checked mine and it adds up the same way. looks like it doesn't count time spent in vehicles.

leveling and unlocking scopes on guns.

I really feel sorry for the ones that just stand there firing m320s and rpgs at a designated spot on the wall/ceiling/floor that they can't see from their vantage point.
Really, how the hell is that even fun?
I mean doing it on a 1000 ticket team is at least 45 minutes of mindless button clicking.

yup.

if I am struggling to get a feel for a weapon(like the AN94 at the moment) a 24/7 metro high ticket server is where I will go
 
So I've tk'ed my pilot and chopper with my own tv missile, has anyone every had the recoil from the tv missile flip the chopper?

I was piloting and my gunner fired one off, pretty controlled flight with the nose pointing up slightly, luckily I was flying high enough to recover but that shit was crazy! It shook the chopper violently and turned it on its side.

Yeah I've flipped and nearly flipped the chopper a couple of times. I've had the missile explode on launch as well, and as I recall it killed me.
 
I gave Rush a try several times, as well as other gametypes, but I still cannot get into them. Conquest has always been my favorite.
 
Anyone else find this game near impossible to play some what casually and fun? Like if I'm not in a team of 4 with voice chat working together the game just feels random and not much fun.

Yes! I cant play this game alone without voice chat. Its just not a tactical game like that. I can only enjoy it when I play with a squad of 2-4 friends or 2 squads of friends with all of us on teamspeak.

BF3 has some sort of visual filter on it that pisses me off completely lol. Ive played it on all low settings and ultra settings and the filter is still there. Its hard to explain. Maybe its bloom or something. I know that BFBC2 you could turn bloom off and it looked nice and crystal clear. But here....not so much.

Can't tell if serious...

TDM and SQDM are terrible. Sounds like you played Noshahr Canals, which isn't the greatest map. Caspian, Firestorm, Sharqi, Oman, Kharg and Karkand are the best CQ large maps (imo).

Noshahr Canals is hands down the worst map in the entire game. Shit needs to be fixed or just removed.

Never played Metro? It's pretty famous for being a horrible map.

I don't actually like many maps in the game to be honest. Got tired of them all very quickly, all I can play now is Karkand (which I hated in BF2) and I don't really know what else. Firestorm, I guess?
 
Is it just me or are the jet rockets also semi-guided like the heli's? I could swear they will slightly correct before hitting a target.

stat time guys ?
 
319 kills (half with the m320 :D)
355 deaths (half are suicide in jet)
playing at lowest gfx with lots of stuttering and some disconnecting and crashing (the beta was much better for me) so I can’t take the game seriously right now. will return to it after I update my rig

I actually was serious, but a little peeved at the time I posted that, so sorry if I came off as a troll or just a punk. I suppose it won't hurt to try out the maps you guys suggested, thank you.

On a related note however, the last fifteen minutes of that train station map I gained probably 1500 points just for flying around the bottom in my MAV. Didn't even have to see a single enemy. Huh? Maybe I'm just confused at how the 'spotting' of enemies works.

There's a motion sensor component to it, so if you for example were flying around near the stairs/escalators you would be picking up a ton of movement and gaining points while people are getting killed.
 
I've been playing a bunch of 32 and 64 player Metro conquest this past week. Some people don't like it, but I find it fun personally. I'd say I'm averaging a 1.5:1 or 2:1 K/D ratio during a round as assault. I feel like I'm always doing well compared to other players because I'm getting plenty of 2nd mvp and 3rd mvp and ace squad ribbons to show for it, but there's always someone who ends up with a K/D count of like 75/13 or 100/22 or something else ridiculous. I've come to the conclusion that anyone with a K/D ratio of around 4:1 or higher during a round just about has to be hacking (or exploiting something). Is that fair?

I cannot fathom how these players are staying alive so long yet are able to put themselves in the mix of fighting enough to get super high kill streaks. This map is crazy with 64 people crowded around the B flag launching grenades, rockets and tossing hand grenades. Surely even the most skilled players can't outlast the dumb luck of so many people blindly shooting rpg's or m320 grenades around every corner?

The fuck does it matter what I've played over the last couple days? You still ignore the obvious fact that playing Metro for a few days isn't indicative of the bigger picture by any stretch of the imagination.

Never said it was, just pointing out the fact that most people with levels/spm like yours play mostly Metro.
