i suspect there will be other maps less plagued with 8 million people sitting on random buildings trying to snipe
pretty sure last night at least 20 people on my team were on them not really doing anything besides getting killed by the enemy chopper
You may claim it doesn't, but I am constantly getting killed while behind cars or in corners because it explodes in the air just as it passes the corner of the thing I am behind.
If you are inside a door, off to the side, the guy just has to fire through the door and it will explode just as it passes through. Even if there is no wall for it to impact.
The beta has one important effect on me: I will never play Shangai again in my life. I just hate it. Half the server is ALWAYS on rooftops, only this time it's not just snipers, lol.
Domination sort of works, though.
I pretty much only play Domination, and Shanghai isn't bad. I wish the cap points were a little more spread out though...having the rooftop on C being able to suppress 2 cap points is kinda lame. Even though my team is winning, I eventually get so annoyed at those rooftop campers that I waste a few lives getting up there and killing them.
The reason why you see so many people sniping is because they're trying to unlock the battle rifles.
Nah, I think it is because most people are far more concerned with K/D ratio and prefer to camp and snipe. BC2's Wookie Mountain is a good example. They don't help their team, they don't try and win, they just sit on that stupid slope (dressed as a bush) and try and snipe all game. Most end like 5/0 and are super proud of themselves.
It realistically just means he is a camping nooblet.
JK, Ive played with Zarg and he's pretty good. <--- No homo :biggrin:
I think this is important. Real life combat isn't plagued by jet rape (with no friendly fire, so they can just launch missiles and drop bombs all willy nilly). We don't need a ton of GtA missiles because we have air support if needed.
And if we want to talk about realism, we should stop letting everyone just throw grenades all the time, have 1 sniper for every 100000 players, completely remove health packs and defibrillators, and force everyone but only a select few to use an M4 or M16.
Sniping doesn't increase K/D ratio unless you're really good. There's a lot of ways to counter it now, XM-25, vehicles, blind spots.
Snipers K/D ratio is generally average at best and they usually have low kills in any case, with the odd exception. But those exceptions are real.

I'm not saying it does make it better, but plenty of people I've played BF3 with seem to think so. Staying 1000 yards away from the Rush point and trying to pick people off is a lot safer than going in guns ablaze. A lot of players would rather sit back, get less kills, and have many less deaths than go in and have to rely on their ability to react quickly to stay alive.
Any time I have more than 1 recon in my squad, I leave it. They offer no use in 90% of the games.
the auto morter will help combat the roof wookies in the full game same with commander air strikes.
what im curious about is if server admins can turn off the ability to drop the building in shanghai, map is so much better with it up
Not necessarily the case.Any time I have more than 1 recon in my squad, I leave it. They offer no use in 90% of the games.
If you've gone 10:1 on infantry only maps it means you're a legit good player or just sniping from afar. Is that realistic? As far as a game goes, sure.
Your last two sentences here aren't really keeping the nature of the game in mind though. In real life, we're not carrying GtA missles that much because the persistent air threat just doesn't justify having them. In real life, if there were as many persistent air threats as in game, you can bet we'd have a lot more anti-air resources.
In the game, unless they're going to make air vehicles spawn only at certain times, this isn't going to be the case. You destroy a F/A-18, another one pops up at the US base very quickly. That F/A-18 isn't 40 minutes away, it's 10 seconds away. Thus the in game levels of GtA should be inflated.
sweetAdd it to your server filter.
sssh dont give away my secretsIt realistically just means he is a camping nooblet.

The XM25 arcs? I haven't really noticed it. Is it only slight? I know it doesn't curve like the GL.
Not necessarily the case.
I like the fact that in BF4 I can play Recon with a carbine and C4 and be just as deadly as anyone on the battlefield against infantry and vehicles.
But I think I prefer BF3's class and weapon structure better, now I find myself using the ACR with every class except Assault. LOL
You can't possibly believe most recon play like that.
how much life a i5/2500 or i7/2600k still have in it for this game, mated w/ the rest of parts in sig, but 8GB? or should I just bite the bullet and go a haswell i5/i7 - 3x-4x?
currently obviously cpu limited, but not sure if i update how gpu limited i will be.....meh
yeah i am cheap and don't want to spend the $$ but when you hit 4-7fps flying, that is not playing....
