Battlefield Tri-hard

[Warsaw]

It did. But they still haven't achieved the success they want even after all of the CoD changes were implemented into the franchise. Instead, they've alienated those of us who loved Battlefield for doing its own thing. Actually, before CoD came along Battlefield was the king of modern combat multiplayer. When MW came out, BF2 had been out for two years already. People flock to the newer games. I know a great deal were expecting BF3 to be a true sequel to BF2, since that's what it was being billed as. Instead, we got Bad Company 3 without a campaign good enough to be called Bad Company.

EA knows that Battlefield is a successful franchise. They should have made BF3 PC-exclusive so that they didn't have to water it down, and made BC3 for consoles. BF2 was on PC only, and it did very well. BC1 was only on consoles, and it also did very well. The precedent is there. That isn't to say I want BF2 with BF3 tech, far from it. BF2 has tons of issues on its own, such as awkwardly-sized maps, crappy movement handling, and too many classes. But they didn't have to dumb it down so much.

..I'm guessing you missed the sarcasm in that. If the game is that broken to him, he should play something else. Chances are he isn't going to get what he's asking for and he definitely isn't going to get the community to change their ways of playing.

missed the sarcasm in what? i can type entire papers on my perceived issues in games i love. those issues dont stop me from playing the game, but the game could be improved were those issues fixed. for example, morrowind is god-awful to start playing if you dont know whats going on, and there are tons of things big and small that could be changed to significantly improve the experience. that doesnt stop it from being my favorite game.

as far as bf3 goes, after bc2, i really want to enjoy this game. i want to play it while its full of players, but there are so many stupid things that completely ruin the experience for me. i bought it around last chistmas, got the limited edition and everything. started playing it, realized early on that its just full of bullshit. i play it every now and then, and i keep up with the strategies and stuff via popular youtube people, but i just enjoy bad company 2 so much more. problem is, there arnt many populated servers anymore that arnt heavy metal, so if there are some problem players, i often have to bite the bullet and deal with them, because there arnt a whole lot of other servers that are providing what i want to play.

tl;dr: i bought the game, im a player of the game, ive played previous titles to compare it to, and i feel like the game could be a lot better.

as for the player base as a whole, obviously we cant address them all, but whats the issue with talking to people 1 on 1 about their play style?

Also, great to see that you take time to cry about people crying. Model poster, for sure. Would read again, A++ material.

Lol, was waiting for this. Appreciate the kind words though

I'm merely serving your expectations. I wouldn't want you to go unrewarded for your troubles.

What gun do you guys use for support? I have been trying to be a sneaky type player, ya know, C4, sprinting behind enemy lines, blowing up tanks, etc. So I was using the UMP with a silencer, but I just seem to lose most head to head firefights using it.

Any gun suggestions? LMG's slow down you down quite a bit, right?

It is greatly appreciated.

And Lobo, needs more PC so you can play with Katana and me

I typically use shotguns like the M1014 or the Saiga, but I also use the PDW-R a lot. Very effective little bastard.

MP7. It's light, accurate, 40-round magazine (if you have the Extended Mag unlock), and it fires really fast. I use it in combination with the M134 scope and the laser sight, but you could swap the laser for a suppressor. Just know that it already has a lot of bullet drop, so it's going to be even worse at long range with a suppressor.

When I play support, though, I usually whore the 249, purely because it's the only gun I already have the Extended Box Magazine unlocked on. It's fantastically accurate when fired in short bursts, can fire forever, and can fire at a high rate when needed. I use it with a fore-grip and M134.

Katana, my worst enemy....

Wish I was playing it on PC with you guys, sure it would be fun.
