Battlefield 3 - Clearly wanting a DayZ mod

[Sandzibar]

hating game more than loving it currently.. good job swtor is out soon to distract me from my emo rage.

I have a question...I've noticed that when I play as a Russian, I'm only allowed to use Russian weapons regardless of the weapons I have unlocked. Am I missing something here or is this intended game design by dice?

If you have a "standard issue" default US weapon equipped when you swap team it will swap to it's equivalent russian counterpart but you should be able to select any of the weapons you have unlocked. On the spawn selection screen either through the "customise" tab or simply clicking on the weapon's picture on the section below the spawn map. If that doesn't work you game dun goofed.

Haha...so am I understanding this correctly that I should be able to equip all unlocked weapons no matter my side, with the exception of the default weapons for each class?

Yes, obviously the unlocks are still limited to their respective classes (unless it's a global unlock you get for achieving a rank) but apply to both sides, as for the default weapons yes they should be the only ones limited to a team although you can unlock them for both teams eventually too, they are the last unlocks for each class if I remember correctly. Practically this means that earning attachments for the default weapons in inherently half as useful as unlocking them for later weapons as they are shared so you get to use them twice as much, until you cross-unlock the defaults too which will occur after you have all the sweet OP shit.

seems DICE is hell bent on giving balance the finger with the b2k guns.

just played first 2 games of Gulf Oman (well didnt finish 2nd cos net dropped). Good fun, lotsa vehicles which tend to die quickly too. Buildings caused problems with guided shells as far as I can tell, but jav works fine.

What balance would that be.

Well before b2k the two best classes were Assault and Engineer. After B2K the two best classes are Assault and Engineer. You can still use 1 of 3/4 weapons of each of those classes and do respectably so I'm not sure where you're coming from. Unless the second set of unlocks for any of the classes are 1h1k railguns - then yes I agree that'd be a problem.

Is it you with the terrible packetlossy connection?

nope.jpg

and that gap between assault/engineer and everything else seems to have gotten bigger.

:loleasupport:

not big suprise

I just went straight to paypal claims, let them deal with the derp.

Also, it's on Amazon, don't even try to use the Origin store (I find out after the fact).

I haven't unlocked it, but I've been told the L85 is god mode.

Don't you mean Engineer/Support? It was pretty rare to get more than one assault guy in a squad at anytime but finding 3 support or 3 engineers to a squad was pretty common. Bullet garden hose, mortar, mines, C4, best of all worlds.

Once you reach a mental state of flow class/gun matters fuck all, I always switch to the gun/class that is closest to an unlock and I perform consistently well. Also if B2K guns are teh rape then that is just marketing genius, it'll earn them a few dollars for sure since people flock to what they imagine is the current cookie-cutter.

i'm starting to get the impression that either that shit is staged or there are some incredibly fucking terrible players out there.

Support is a bit OP at the moment, nothing more frustrating than being headshotted by some guy firing his LMG from the hip from 50+ yards...
The last patch really hurt run and gun players like myself who used the Assault Kit, this exentuates the advantage of the support kit because run and gun was one of the best counters to support spam.

As for maps, Wake is alot of fun when you are winning but just like in BF2 and 1942 when its one sided its tedious at best. Had a couple of dicks camping the airfield last night, sniping pilots out of the cockpit, mining and c4ing planes etc. So I warned them that if they didn't stop I'd hunt them down, they loled... I did as I promised. SKS + Holo + Silencer combined with MAV means you can't hide.

Getting a stupid amount of disconnects now
3 in as many minutes on one server and at least one random one per map from the last few.

If only I could +rep you more than once for the same post.

Edit: Not sure how but I managed a roadkill with a Stinger on a Little Bird.

the first two looked sporadic, but now he is doing it for youtube money so its forced.
