Has anyone noticed rounds even hitting center mass not having an effect on people? I did that a few times last night from an M98B, no hit marker and the guy in each case just kept doing what they were doing like nothing happened. Maybe just server specific?
but it doesnt because its a game and people just do whatever. the intorduced haze and aiming penalty make you WANT to stay in cover
gives actual advantage IMO to getting the drop on someone.
if they just one it down somewhere between what its at now, and what its liek now with squad cover on, that would be fine with me
The problem is some people would be effected by that more than others, even in real life, but this is a game, and it was ridiculous pre-patch, let alone post patch. How is hiding behind cover half the game fun? Even Rainbow Six didnt think that was fun.
And slugs are definitely more powerful now. After the patch this guy used the 870 and slugs and he was one shotting everyone, even while being shot. Its like the bolt actions in BC2.
I dunno I just like it. and my SPM/skill ratings show it. you cant just run around likea chicken with your head cut off
well you can, but I will kill you as you run out in the open

You mean you will suppress me while someone else kills me! And even while suppressed, killing me out in the open isnt all that easy... :biggrin: Anyways, sh*t talking aside, I could do without the suppression points, assist points, participation medals, etc. I know why they do it, but at the end of the day it should be what all FPSs are, running around and killing each other.
I am daydreaming today for some reason...
...I'd be really nice if they could make some bigger maps that would be more vehicle centric. Something like desert, have an oasis sort of town. 3-4000 meters in between main spawn points and objectives. Could even allow people to call in arty. A mountain type map, could be Afghanistan related even, would be nice too. Need to have Blackhawks take in attacking team to the area, means need to have copter pilots. Could have a roadway in, of course that brings mines and chokepoints into play.
Just so much more they could do with the maps it seems...

isnt that what my LMG is for? I suppress while someone else puts 2-3 rounds to your face
I held B on firestorm by myself for about 3-4 minutes. started that round 13-0.
group of 3 guys runs into the door stacked up and the M27 eats them alive. if one guy came in the door while one stayed back in cover and another hit the window, I would get maybe 2 of them, but not all 3.
I feel like suppression does more to penalize silly thoughtless run and gun play than it does to hamper playing bf3 with teamwork. any change that forces that is likely A-OK with me.

This. While suppression was upped TOO much from before, it definitely should have been upped. Suppression rewards teamplay and smart gun tactics. Sorry, but because this is a video game with respawn, saying that someone is going to stay back because they heard a bullet is laughable.

Sounds like you almost described Mashtuur City from BF2. That was my favorite map, needs to be made for BF3!
I think almost every single Map in BF2 should be considered a classic. The only good maps on BF3 are the BF2 maps.
Kubra Dam, Road to Jalalabad, that one giant map which takes place in a giant field with windmills and hay bales and a forest, such amazing maps.
They can easily do that by reintroducing sprint limits, about 150% the value in BF2 should be great.
Also, I disagree that suppression has anything that rewards teamplay or smart tactics. The only thing that suppression effects is an enemies ability to shoot back easily. Because everyone can suppress no matter what as long as you shoot in a enemies direction, there is nothing inherent that forces you to play as a team with this effect. Its just annoying in most instances.
Something like if only the LMG could surpress might make sense from a teamplay perspective, but there is no way suppression rewards "teamplay". its a simple function of shooting in a direction, not from working as a team.
Also, people run around like idiots because of the 5 second respawn timers, another crappy COD mechanic, there is very little team penalty to dying. Bring back the 30 second timers, and I assure you people will play better

Sounds like BF2 Project Reality...sigh mod support would have been so great. Still a fun game though...I'm not "selling it" any time soon.

What happened then with BF3? Did they get different owners or something? BF2 sounds much more realistic, I cannot fathom why they'd get rid of the realism to basically bring us a cage fights with some main gauntlets thrown in.

I also have serious doubts that BF2 was as great as some make it out to have been. I never played it so I could be totally wrong about that.
