Battlefield 3 - Clearly wanting a DayZ mod

[Fachiri]

Fucking game needs to let me play. If I'm really lucky, I get into a game but nothing in the UI loads, nor do my weapon models.

[Davd]

Because the beta build had to go through Microsoft and Sony certification for the consoles. There's very little point them putting in additional work on the beta when they have an actual _release_ client to work on, that's coming out in a little over 2 weeks.

Not to mention we're not really testing the game, it's a server backend stress test.

[spasm]

So I discovered rockets and shells will still affect friendly vehicles even with FF off. Much hilarity ensued involving my tank and a certain friendly helicopter.

[Fallout]

Yeah I noticed that when people were sat at the jet spawn in tanks shooting people trying to take off

USAS-12 w/ Laser, PKA-S, & Sabot rounds
Awesome.

15% accuracy on the Saiga
18% accuracy on the DAO-12
12% accuracy on the USAS-12

Slooowly undoing the damage done while getting the required 90 kills to get the ammo.

41% accuracy with the magnum LOL

[Elias M]

The AEK-971 is an absolute rape weapon. Its got practically no recoil and a really good rate of fire. The accuracy at rage does lack a bit, thats the only downside, but on a map like Metro its not really an issue. I unlocked it tonight, and after 6 rounds I had 200+ kills and MVP ribbons for every one. I'm rolling with KOBRA, Foregrip and Heavy Barrel, with the extra ammo perk.

[Rans]

I wish a company would put this amount of work and money into an rts or rpg, not just fps

[EntroX]

so...i cant even join any servers whatsoever now?

At least I'm not alone anymore.

every CB server ive tried is rubber banding like crazy.. even with 20 people :-\

[Vortex]

Confirming rubber banding issues. Oh, and don't forget the EOR crashes

[Desert Fox]

I was ready to give up on CB after so many rubber band like laggy games. Finally got onto a UK server with minimal lag and it was very awesome. It's restored my faith in the game. Looking forward to the 28th

Edit: That is, it was very awesome until a hacker turned up and started teleporting everyone off the map and into the 'Return to the battlefield or you'll melt' area.

I hope you're all aware that punkbuster isnt ACTUALLY online yet..
Also, the AS VAL isn't terrible. It's really not bad at all for cq mowing down of people

There is a long line of global unlocks that fit that same job description, and the AS VAL does it worse than all of them (yea yea the UMP is overpowered but its still lightyears better). The AS VAL is designed to be a hybridized marksman rifle; able to snipe just as easily as it does CQB, and right now anything past 5ft of you takes laughably low amounts of damage.

Hackers in the -beta-? Really?

Not sarcasm or anything, just surprised that there's people who want to grief that badly. I mean I thought you can do anything legitimately in the beta and still have the same effect as hacking.

[Vortex]

Leveling jets is bullshit. Your mk1 jet has the nose cannon, which does low damage and must constantly recharge, no flares, no missiles, no bombs. Shoulder mounted stingers will power fist rape you as they are faster and more agile, making it extremely difficult to dodge them. Jet vs Jet fights are similarly dumb, as even if you win, you will probably get zero points for it as the hostile jet will almost inevitably wind up a suicide as their flight control fails. I've actually raked infantry with the jet cannon, gotten hit markers, and no kills. Hell, the first unlock isn't even the flares, making this super ultra frustrating.

[The Pie]

I like how two full clips of the cannon won't kill a tank from any angle, and how I can't suicide into tanks to blow them up. ;[

[Vortex]

So because I hate fun gameplay, I have decided to grind out the unlocks for the jet. Using the control remaping located on the previous page really helped, and made my jet much more responsive. Sadly, it seems the beta doesn't differentiate between tanks and jets, so now all my land vehicles are y-flipped (you have to y-flip the y-flip on jets to get them to normal) and basically impossible to use. Welp. I've now ground out stealth and unlocked IR flares, now working my way to sidewinders and the first moment where the jet will behave like a jet and not a WWII mustang.

To this end, i've been playing on a small server when I can more easily monopolize jet usage, and there was an enemy fighter pilot with a lot of stuff unlocked. Suffice to say, it wasn't even remotely a fair fight. The ability to launch sidewinders (while I still didn't even have flares) was completely imba, and a guaranteed death sentence. My only recourse was to look for helicopters in the air before launching, and making a single kamikaze run at them in the hopes of at least getting a vehicle disable for 100 points towards the next unlock. Occasionally this even resulted in a double kill, for comparatively massive amounts of points, but not often. Within 30s of taking off I'd be dead. Didn't want that k/d ratio or points/min level anyways.

I get that dice is trying to treat vehicles like guns, but its a terrible analogy that really doesn't work. It would be fine if unlocks opened up sidegrades to chose between, with the basic vehicle doing everything youd expect it to out of the box. But requiring the user to unlock basic shit like flares when 90% of the map are engineers with a low-level stinger unlock is just horrific game decision making.

[Ishanda]

I completely agree with the jets. With all the other vehicles you get a basically effective weapon to use right from the start. The jet cannons, however, are so pathetically weak that you can't even disable an enemy flyer unless you get the entire burst dead on target, and as you say, if you're up against someone with the unlocks then its completely pointless.
