The Mess Hall

1st game... squad rush
not impressed graphically or gameplay.
2nd game -- Rush
Defending, a little better, got me some kills and a tank. Tank almost died, then it would not reverse. Also the 19minute bug is still there, need to disable uPNP
Also tried to get in a game with astro... utter failure.

I've said it before and I'll say it again for the cheap seats...
SERVER RENTALS for consoles.

Well, after playing with Sy for hours and even having occasional fun here and there experimenting with new unlocks (that's right the game is all about unlocks unfortunatelly) I don't think I'd want to rent a server any more. The game is just not serious enough to be needing custom servers.

BF3 is noobified above and beyond any reasonable expectation for a BF game to the point that it is not even fun to play. It is like you get those beautiful Mecano or Lego sets which you can play for ages, or you get a shiny toy which...well which doesnt do anything, but it just looks shiny and you can put it on a shelf.

I think high damage (which is high even on normal) is a cheat. Let me explain. You have 2000 billion guns to ballance with different attachements and stuff, how can you do this so that people don't complain that some guns are overpowered? Make them all overpowered and then it doesn't matter if one gun kills you just a little bit and another over kills you. At the end you are dead either way before you even realise you have been shot at.

Vehicles? Completely different ball game. It is all about unlocks and who has the latest, simple and boring.

My verdict on this game - BF3 is a good looking game, but it is not the game I've always wanted.

I think what sums up the conquest at the moment is "empty and stale" as in it is very slow paced to what it usually is.

Anyway i'm off for a game in a min so i'll get to grips with it hopefully.
TSome maps just seem to big for 24 players.

thoughts so far.
Uninspired, feels like MoH, disconneted gameplay, animations look nice bet make it feel sluggish, aiming is a ballache.

nice arse daz

After last night's experiences, I think that sums it up perfectly. WTF is up with 6v4 all the time on release day?

matchmaking is a mess -- Squad Rush 4v1 1v3 3v1 and so on.
recoil and handling is supposed to be realisitc, but this does not mean it's a better game.

Sorry but this game just is'nt clicking for me, and it might just be the last game I buy.

And don't even mention the comms.
I played with Jay and Emma last night, the north american servers work perfectly, both for squadding up and comms.

Go figure.

I'm willing to give DICE time to sort it out whole world and his dog is probably logging in, come MW3 time it should calm down as the COD twats will go back to that

i know dice should have this sorted now but no one i know releases a bug free game now, yes they shouldnt but it happens

Anyone care to help me with the aiurwarfare ribbon (not boosting just you fly I shoot deal).

Unlocked Heat Seekers and Stealth for the jets. ^_^

Jets are quite fun, unlocked the air warfare ribbon myself, got heatseakers and flares now.

todays complaint is about the choppers, or more the rockets

i was flying the havoc on firestorm and noticed 2 guys legging it throught the desert, lined them up for a strafing run unloaded all the rockets, NOWT didnt kill em. fair enough i thought swung round to circle and hit them again, nowt circled again, nowt

i think DICE have nerfed the rockets against infantry cause of the pussies on BFBC2

Problem i have had today is lag lag lag.
Flying is pretty much a no go for most of today, such as lamposts/poles rendering to late, massive lag spikes like hitting into a brick wall making helis flip over or jets crash, it's gay because it isn't our fault it does it, damn servers!

But not to bad on the ground, even though even in tanks there has been alot of lag... really ..fcking...annoying..

Caspian has a real bad lag area around D & C - annoying.

Funny thing is i doubt it'll get fixed lol.
