Starbob is probably one of those snipers. I hate those kinds of snipers.

Naw I never play snipers. In fact, I haven't even spawned as one a single time. I've been working on Assault and Engineer. Maybe medic eventually.

I'm a driver. I drive things. When I can't drive things I repair them and gun for them. I'd be the guy in the tank for 20 minutes and you'd be wondering how I managed to stay alive and have 3000 points. Ironically, I also like destroying vehicles. I also loathe snipers... which is probably why I enjoy vehicles so much. I think if I ever get sniped out of a helicopter I might go insane.

I don't understand the gif but I like it.
 
Ah - a vehicle whore. That's far more tolerable. But if you're not playing in a squad as a cohesive team from time to time then you're missing out. Reviving, resupplying and respawning on one another behind enemy lines and getting shit done is the name of the game. It's not even that hard to get some decent squad play going with randoms if you just put the effort in. A lot of the time people will respond in kind.

But seriously though, only spawning on squad members when "capturing is the only way to be successful" - what the fewk man? Other than defending on Rush, I'm struggling to think of a time when that isn't applicable.

At any rate, I won't be able to play this until next week anyway - so screw you all. ;(

It's much better. UT3's SP was such bullshit, I don't think you could even consider it a campaign. BC2 at least has scripted sequences and levels that aren't just the game's multiplayer maps with bots. It's not really great, the biggest problem is its obsession with cutscenes; there's seriously a cutscene every 5 minutes, and they seem to make even the most insignificant events into cutscenes. It's really intrusive and there isn't really any consideration for immersion. But at least you don't have a collection of CTF matches with bots trying to pass itself off as a singleplayer game.

Yeah, the single players alright, but as an experience it's not a patch on MW2's. I loved the gun battles though, that is one thing this game does do better but there is some seriously questionable level design. Also,
the hiding in houses to stop freezing level was crap, your squad **** off and leave you for no reason then your forced to play through that level from Crysis in which you had to keep Prophet warm except this time it's you. Then you find your squad and nobody ever mentions ****ing off and leaving you. Crap.

Well that may have been a bit of an exaggeration... It's not that I exclusively spawn only when it is advantagous to capture a point, but I think it is more accurate for me to say I avoid spawning when death is a certainty. Like if I click a guy and he's in a situation that bullets would hit me as soon as I hit the ground, I'm not going to spawn there. I would much rather go in to battle on my own terms and not just sort of be dropped into Deathtown, USA.

But yeah, totally a vehicle whore. That's why I'm a Battlefield fan well before a CoD fan. Though CoD 5 did have some good tank times... but Battlfield is where it's at.

On a side note, I was looking at some tweak guides and they seem to say fairly universally that forcing DX9 will give me a better framerate. Anyone have any experience with tweaking this? I'm in desperate need of framerate when things get funky.
 
Anyone else having server problems today?

Yeah it's brutal when you spawn on a squad mate and he's just run past a grenade or someone just shot a rocket at him... and you show up just in time to stand face to face with an explosion. Basically any time a squadmate is running and you spawn upon him...it will be dangerous and you will probably be dead.

I was facing a single medic in close quarters. I knife the medic, but right before that, another medic spawns on him, he then revives the other medic just before I gun him down and I kill the revived medic as well.

Any moment now aaaaaaaany moment now
 
I have a dillema. I got the game for the X360 (split the cost with my brother, so that's a plus; still half the price=regular PC version price), but I'm still pondering whether to get in on the PC, which runs the game on low and at 20-ish fps with dips in combat (give me no lower than 25 and I'm good) as tested in SP on an "aquired" copy.

However I heard that the first patch brings some optimizations which were in the beta and the game is generally better optimized than the beta. Any truth in that? I would very much prefer to play on the PC, playing MP on the X360 is like the special olympics where everyone is retarded by having gamepads and no dedicated servers etc.

If not, I guess I'll have to dish out a little more to pay for Live... :|

I had an awesome run in our server today. It was 4 of us versus 3 of them (they were better than us) and I managed to kill them all in like 6 seconds. They kept respawning in our base and I finally managed to get close to them, then I unloaded on one guy and killed him, knifed a guy who saw me at the last second, then chased down the third as he fled to reload and stabbed him in the neck. I impressed my co-workers who were watching me play haha.

why don't you wait to get the PC version?? it'll be cheaper in the future, and you can spend some cash to update your rig. i got Battlefield 2 for the 360 way back when, and then i recently got it on Steam for $5 and its cool to play older war games on PC when they run at like 60-80 fps.
 
It gets extremely ridiculous when the whole other team snipes and uses mortar strikes. Makes it near impossible to defend/use any mounted guns. You either get shot in the face or die in the explosions when you spawn. It's like an endless supply of mortar strikes.

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope to hell they nerf that mortar strike or at least slow it down because it is just getting crazy.

Someone was mentioning before how Rush was better than Conquest. After actually playing it, I'm inclined to agree because the maps are very nicely made. In conquest, it just seems like everyone's always coming from everywhere. The only other problems I have with Rush are that it seems to unbalance itself much more easily than conquest. I can't count how many times that the tickets would come down to a 10 point difference or less, but in rush, it's more often that one side can't blow up anything and the other rampages through. I'm hoping that they do something with that mortar crap though.

One more great thing about Rush (other than Neil Peart) is that rounds last so long and you can really score some points without all that loading. I think I'll be playing it more... and maybe trying some of the other game types.

edit: I got this the other day and thought it as funny.

got to lvl 7 with some friends, and i pretty much played all day and now i'm back to blinking again and its hard to adjust to the real world. omg do i love this game. its pretty balanced but a few patches wouldn't hurt. like said before me, too many snipers and mortar attacks. also this game makes me want to play more because its not easy to quit a match unless it starts. that and there is so much to unlock. i'm very close to unlocking all the assault weapons, and tomorrow i'll work on engineer or medic. but overall i'm very happy with my purchase
 
Let's find an empty server this weekend and fill it up with forum members.
Feel free add me to your friends list. I Am using the same username for Steam as well as EA.
I have already added some people to mine.
 
How is the SP performance compared to MP? Is either more of a strain on the PC, or is it comparable?

But the game is out now, I want to play while it's fresh (though if I like it, I'll probably play it for quite a long time, as was with BF2 and 2142)! ;) I have means of doing so, just need to weight the disadvantages and advantages of each option.

Also, there's nothing to update really, I'm using laptop and my previous PC is way outdated. It's a matter of building a new PC.
 
I'm getting 360 version. pm me your live details and ill add you :)

I'm waiting for it to have more than one person in it sometime. Maybe this weekend.

I can't wait until I can unlock that perk that gives me body armor. I'll enjoy living long enough to react to bad situations. I've found that, with the way you react to getting hit, you're better off just shooting as soon as you can hope to hit someone and not worry about being wholly accurate. The only problem with that is that you end up needing to reload. I'm hoping to unlock the slower firing, but harder hitting assault rifle soon.

So I still can't figure out why the medic has the LMGs...

Like I said a couple times already, just get on steam, have one or two people follow you into the server, and just dick around for a bit. Before you know it the server will be full.

I wish server admins could just disable the recon class. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing a sniper, snipe on rush.
 
I really wanna play :(

*EDIT* I've not played anything than the demo gametype yet, but the recon class is one of my favorite to be and kill. Getting the 4x scope, with C4....I can't count how many offensive sniper missions I've destroyed tanks and killed lots of people.
 
*Spawns*

"Oh man I'm gonna run over here to this sufficient cover and then continue forward aggressively!"

*Dies*

"WTF!"

*Camera zooms 48 miles away to level 97 sniper*

"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
 
That's what you get for running straight into fire, lol.
 
love the mp, but have mixed feelings about the sp.

Seems there is a lot of potential with the characters, and I approve of the corny humor... but the SP is just strange.. like your squad often runs away to the next objective instead of waiting for you. Other times it's expected for you to lead the squad.
I honestly don't know much about the BF series, is this only like their 2nd SP game? Because if it is, it really shows.

And that part when Sweetwater is like "brb" and then all of the suddenly your squad is gone and you're left out in the cold. During that part I thought something like "Oh, my squad betrayed me.." because Sweetwater was acting so weird, but I guess they didn't? The squad just kinda wandering off without Preston was really odd.. especially when you come back and no one seems to acknowledge it, like "Sorry Preston, we couldn't find you" or "We had an emergency and had to get on the chopper"
Moments like that just feel really awkward or confusing. Throughout the rest of the SP experience I just couldn't stop thinking about how awkwardly placed that entire mission was.

Spoilerz
 
Doesn't really spoil anything... There's nothing revealing or plot changing about that mission
 
Anyone else think hardcore mode is fun? I hate having to spray almost an entire magazine into a person for them to die, and my aim is fine.

i like hardcore, it's...how do you say...realistic?

you are basically ****ed if you come up on two people in regular mode...you spend half a clip in one person and by that time the other guy has raped you. and i happen to like rape, but still.

"We are aware that some customers have reported fan speed issues with the latest 196.75 WHQL drivers on NVIDIA.com. Until we can verify and root cause this issue, we recommend that customers stay with, or return to 196.21 WHQL drivers. Release 196.75 drivers have been temporarily removed from our Web site in the meantime."

if you've got the latest 196.75 drivers installed you may wanna consider downgrading
drivers seem to be causing fan issues at high temps and killing some people's GPUs
sucks cause they seem to have fixed the crashing problem I had with BC2 before . . .
 
I hate Hardcore. I hate getting really unlucky for not seeing the random ****er in a tree that shoots me 1 time and I die.

And I don't know, I don't find it too bad dmg right now. If you're using a SMG, you shouldn't be spraying to hit them. It's such a low dmg weapon, you should either be close range or burst fire. I have no problems with downing 2 people in 1 clip as engie.
 
I hope there is a patch sometime soon optimizes the engine a bit more.. or some ATI drivers do the same. I've heard that recently released Nvidia drivers are overheating and frying cards so they pulled them. What's with this engine? Crytek looks better and it runs better too. I'm guessing all these destructible objects are a whole new ballgame for processors.
 
I can't actually connect to a server yet, i keep getting connection to server lost before i actually get into a server !
 
Kinda disappointed with the game.
-SP gets very boring, feels very static(except for the destructible environments)
-Aiming works very poorly on Win7/DX11, need to boot XP every time to play it properly
-Graphics look like shit, gives the game a dated look and feel. The water doesn't even have realtime reflections!(while it has in BF2, lol)...
-... but it still performs very poorly, framerates drop below 25FPS in intense firefights on my i7-860 and Radeon HD 5850.(in DX11)
-Lots of connection problems, it usually takes a few retries to connect to the main server, and then a few tries to get in a game server.

The multiplayer gameplay is awesome, though, which is the most important part :)

it's people like you ruining it for the rest of us...why do people prefer to use pellet guns!!!!

maybe something between hardcore and normal...wouldn't that be ideal?
 
I prefer to use Engineer. Why am I ruining it by using the gun how it's supposed to be used and succeeding?
