Battlefield 3

[UnschoolShqiponjë]

Quote:I've heard it's more slow-paced and cautious than bland, repackaged shit like MW(3). Is it like STALKER where if you make one wrong move you're gonna wind up with a cloud of shrapnel instead of a face?

You can definitely move faster than you can in Stalker. To be effective though you need to work with a squad and you need to move tactically. Checking corners, using your class in ways it should be used, etc. etc. MW3 retard rushing will much more often than not get you killed.

Quote:Is there Flecktarn, and if so, does anyone use it? I'm a massive camouflage hipster.

Camos start at 30 seconds.





Eehhh the camo isn't really noticeable in game imo.

Quote:How do the vehicles work exactly?

There are transport vehicles (amtracs, jeeps with turrets), tanks, jets, scout helicopters, and attack helicopters.

Transport jeeps are pretty much the quickest land vehicles but easily destroyable. Transport Amtracs are more defensive than tanks but slower and less maneuverable.

Tanks are of mediumish speed and very strong offensively. They can be disable with two rockets from a RPG or Smaw etc. Also easily destroyed by M15 mines engineers have.

Jets are probably the hardest to actually help your team with but are fun as fuck. They move fast and you only have the MG on it at first. Rocket pods are unlocked later and great for air strikes.

Scout helicopters have MGs and can be used for transport. Attack helicopters have missiles and MGs. A pilot and a co-pilot who only shoots a MG.

Quote:Is there any strategy or do people just walk around shooting whoever isn't wearing their uniform?

You need to use your class effectively.

Engineer? Either destroying enemy vehicles with rockets or repairing while in the scout helicopters or being the gunner of a tank and repairing when necessary. Sometimes I'll use the little robot car to plant and defuse in Rush (which is hilarious imo). I'm not a fan of the mines though tbh.

Medic? Constant dropping of med kits wherever it seems it is needed. I regularly run through enemy fire to revive teammates. I think it is amazingly fun to run around reviving. Today I went 6-8 and others on my team had kills in the 30's. I still had more points (around 5000+) because of my healing and reviving.

Scout? I am constantly spotting for my team (regardless of the pitiful point reward for being a spotter). I also spot jets for my teammates in the sky (something more scouts need to do, my main vehicle is the jet and it is incredibly helpful when someone is spotting the enemy jet). Let's not forget strategically placing Spawn points near enemy MCOM stations.

Support? Suppressive fire and providing ammo for teammates. Mortars are awesome for clearing out an area for teammates. I don't play this class much.

You unlock different camo's as you level up, but honestly hiding in bushes and dark corners and shit does more for camo than what you wear. And if you have a huge scope on your gun, people will see the light reflecting on it. And you can blind people with flashlights and laser sights. Those are annoying IMO.

Quote:Is there any strategy or do people just walk around shooting whoever isn't wearing their uniform?

Lemme put it this way... I'm not half bad at shooting games. When I first got BF3 I had no idea WTF was going on, I didn't know the maps, didn't know guns, didn't know how the objectives worked, and I got horribly and utterly PWNT all the time. After a few days I got familiar with the maps and general concept of objectives and now I actually kick a bit of ass. Nowhere near as much as the people who've played this a crapton longer than me, but... long story short, just walking around and shooting people will get your ass killed so much it isn't even funny. You need to have a decent idea of what you're supposed to be doing and where to go.

Also, I <3 my mortar.

That actually sounds pretty boss.

So they gave the Russkies psuedo-Flecktarn. Dammit, yes they copied Flecktarn for one of their patterns, but they don't fucking use it! Why does noone get this!

Oh, and I figured that the patterns wouldn't really matter that much gameplay-wise. But again, I'm a camouflage hipster.

Not bad. It doesn't seem to deviate from the stock types all that much, but not bad, not bad at all.

I'm used to doing just that IRL, minus the points crap. So, no worries.

Hm. I iz intrigued.

[Elfy]

Have we convinced you to buy BF3?

[The Desert Fox]

Nein.

[Efs]

Ok so everytime I play BF3 I get shot from who the fuck knows where. I really need to learn this game well.
And you have to unlock flares wtf is this shit niggah low lvl sucks.

[Sapphire Flames]

Yeah when you first start out it sucks enormous dick because you only have stock equipment.

The best hope for a newbie is to play medic and unlock the FAMAS through challenges.

[The Desert Fox]

I still feel bad for giving in and downloading Origin for BF3. Fuck you EA, I will never buy anything else from your stupid over-priced store, and you deserve Worst Company of the Year.

[The Desert Fox]

mfw I have acquired an amazon gift card for fifty dosh

mfw there is a used copy of fattlebield 3 on amazon for twenty three dosh

mfw I hear the origin thing is a piece of shit and it's an incredible pain in the ass to set up and run

mfw I am basically asking SS whether or not I should get BF3

[Sapphire Flames]

Origin is an incredible pain in the ass to set up. But Battlefield 3 is very good.

If you feel like you would thoroughly enjoy (which I think you would) then I say go for it.

Please for the love of god stop replacing the word money with dosh. Dosh is a joke referring to money, stop using it everyday.
Good use: "Man I got so much dosh saved up for this weekend"
Bad use: "that cheeseburger cost 2 dosh"

Also Fox, off topic question - are you still interested in Counter Strike Source?

Yes but not very much seeing how it's 100% reflex-based.

[Sapphire Flames]

And... you have the reflexes of a mentally retarted hamster suffering from the later stages of syphilis?

Anyway would you like a guest pass for it?

Not really, I just prefer games in which thinking plays more of a role than pulling the trigger first.

Sure, that'd be incredibly kickass. Danke.

[The Desert Fox]

What's that dude, you'd seriously give me your BF3 account info so I could try it out before buying? Thanks a ton!

Because a torrented version will somehow magically work where the legit version did not.

[SaintVicious]

Mine worked fine.

[Efs]

I'm trying to play this on Insane or hard or whatever it's called.
Cannot even do second level.

[SoulRiser]

lol, I started the campaign on hard. Got pretty far, but there's this bit later where you're supposed to run along with your (bulletproof) buddies into some building while there's an army of (infinitely respawning) enemies constantly raining bullets upon you. It's impossible and completely ludicrous. I ragequit.

Might redo later on normal or easy or something. But seriously, that scripted bit is just totally stupid. No sane people would run in front of that building, as opposed to, oh I dunno, climbing up the back wall? ... Which you cannot do because you can't jump high enough. I tried.

[monkey]

I love me some good battlefield 3, Nothing like setting up a good machine gun nest and gunning down people from there flanks. GATA GATA GATA GATA GATA (100 points enemy killed) After alot of that someone finally comes up to try to stab me, and when they do I activate the tactical back up/ revenge plan. Which is c-4 I have already set up. Respawn and detonate c-4, I still kill my attacker from the grave.

[Efs]

Man I just love going in the helicopter and spinning around.

[SoulRiser]

That C4 thing doesn't work no more. ... But hey, can do something similar with claymores.

[The Desert Fox]

You niggers need to stop reminding me what fun shit dice is causing me to miss out on.
