I still think the basic BF3 maps are the best of any BF3 maps. Though I am completely jealous that PC can have so many more players than us. I saw a pc match the other day on Operation 925. It was 32 v 32...yet we can only have 8 v 8...stupid.

32 v 32 would be sooo much fun.

I think I'm going to try the PC version just for the hell of it.

I disagree with this. I remember in BC2 where you could basically be right on top of the enemy team in their spawn unlike BF3 where there is a small buffer with the out of bounds. You can still spawn trap them in BF3 but usually it is trapping them where they can't get to the objective, in BC2 you would be lucky to not get a knife to your back while you were in your spawn. But I do miss me some BC2, especially Vietnam.

The only thing in my head that even allows BC2 to touch bf3 is the rush maps. Everything else is a complete upgrade. IMO it literally feels like a generation ahead. I've never understood a majority of the gripes about BF3. The rush maps are the only thing that I can see complaining about. I feel like this game is wayyy closer to the BF franchise than BC2 is. I've thought that from day 1 when playing BC2.
The now arcade feel is probably because COD's gun play and mechanics (not physics) were much better than BC2's. It had to do with smoothness and that natural look of actions. BC2 got the job done very well but everything you did felt extremely linear with no smoothness to it.
I'm not going to go into strat between the two games but there is a reason why we got raped by BAT. The rush maps on BC2 and their flanking routes (usually 2 on each set of points) are way better than bf3's. Honestly thought that just because the enemy had more area to cover. Basically a bigger "wall".

Just finished up 3-4 hours with Link and Lowgn. Great game. Makes me wonder if I should even keep BF3, since I can get $28 from trading it into BB...

Here is a perfect example of the ridiculousness that is Dice awarding spray and pray tactics vs scoped aimed shots. Since the beginning I have never understood why Dice set the game up this way.

Were the bolt action sniper rifles supposed to be a 1 hit kill in the chest at "close" range? For some reason I remember reading that they were, and the other day I went through the process of using the L96 and wasnt getting many 1 shot kills on people standing a few meters from me. The only one shots were headshots which is the same as prepatch. confused.gif

Yeah, they are supposed to be one hit kills in the upper chest at close range. I'm not sure what they consider close range though, or upper chest for that matter. I haven't used the L96 in a while, so I can't comment on that gun at close range these days. But bolt actions in general, I never seem to know what to expect. Of course I suppose that could be true with all the guns.

yeah maybe I'm shooting people in the crotch, although I think you should get a 2.0 multiplier for shooting someone there biggrin.gif I think I would rather take one to the dome than there. Dont play with bolt actions much, so it was getting a little frustrating not dropping guys when I thought it would be considered "close". It is really rewarding though when you do get those headshots.

When I FINALLY completed the new assignments, I was stuck using the garbage L96 last. I would continually pop guys in the chest and neck at under 10 feet away, but that damn gun was only taking off 80% of their health. Pretty ridiculous when the semiauto snipers can easily kill a guy with 2 shots fired simply in the general direction they are in without even aiming.

Speaking of buckets, has anyone here hit 100 yet? I'm only at 17 and I doubt I'll get there.

I'm like 63 or 64 right, and slightly embarrassed both because of how full my bucket has become and also because of how much time I have spent on my bucket I should have a higher rank. But I seem to screw around a lot until it is time to win the match. I reckon if Zath would play this game more that he would easily be 100 by now. His SPM is stupid. I've thought about just playing Close Quarters this week and being a medic, but I'm just not interested in playing just to try and rank up.

On another topic I got my PVR game recorder back up and running again. Last night I actually deleted 130 GB of video that I had yet to go through and edit. I've probably have another 70-80 GB that I will delete as well. I'm sure there is lot of good clips there, but I just decided to not worry about going through it all. I'm trying to find a better way to get good clips here and there without just storing it and then later watching it and saving clips I like. Hopefully I can come up with an easier process where I know exactly what clip I want to pull out and then I can just do it real quick. If anyone has any good suggestions letme know.

I'll also might just want to put something up more on a regular basis. Something simple, just like a match we play without any editing. Or maybe a once a week or two put up a Tank journey with AVS'ers or a Heli adventure. I imagine that could be fun and funny.

My 21 year old brother who is very musically gifted and has the capability to craft music using computers and what not wants me to give him a video that he can put some music over. I just have to get some good clips. I feel line I'm better now than I have ever been, so I figure my old clips probably would not be as good as a more recent clip. So I guess I'll just not spend the time on the old ones and just delete them and start fresh. This deletes a headache I have been having as well...lol.

If anyone has a good idea about a video, a reoccurring video, or if you just want to go out for a tank ride, Heli ride or troll ride let me know. I'm better suited as gunner for those things though.

Check the player list in my sig. It should be updated.

I'm keeping BF3. No point in $20 trade-in if I might buy it again later anyway. I'll probably be on Wednesday for the double XP. Still playing BC2 with Linkie.

I got numerous kills with the EOD, but they were all considered "Roadkills." rolleyes.gif

I then decided to go for it on Metro and camped out in the locker room and got it on the first try. Key is to hit the next set of stairs with the torch already firing when there's a group.

MP1st has some details of upcoming Premium stuff in July. Double XP we already know about:

According to the Premium Calendar, the Soldier Upgrade, essentially a bunch of weapon camo’s, are set to release to Premium users on July 8th. June’s Soldier Upgrade included camo’s for the Scar-H, PKP Pecheneg, L-96 and the F2000. Hopefully July’s release will includes more weapon camo’s, but details on exactly what camo’s are included in this batch have yet to be revealed.

The first Strategy Guide for Premium users will be released on July 3rd. Prima Games will give Premium users a comprehensive guide that is a whopping 70 pages in PDF format. This guide will be themed around the Close Quarters expansion, giving you in depth analysis of the weapons, maps, assignments and the new game modes you can find within Close Quarters. For now, you can check out our five tips for Close Quarters.

Not sure if the computer you use is next to you when you play but I when I recorded games I would delete or keep after each game, that I remembered. At the end of the game if I didnt remember anything that was worth keeping then I deleted right there and if there was I would rename it with what it was I wanted to keep. I found it became much easier to go through my videos this way.

Also if you wanted to do a ride/match with 2 perspectives I could always hit record on mine. I've thought about it using it again lately for the CQ maps. I've had some "not to shabby" moments that would of been nice to keep.

I just cheated and switched teams and Nexus was kind enough to stand still while I zapped him. It was such a time sink. Every time I got close to a camper with it, he'd either move, hear my EOD bot, or get killed. What a troll move by DICE.

Well I had fun getting the EOD bot kill, wasn't that bad. In one of these patches it looks like they fixed it so it has tank like controls now.

Damavand Conquest, spawn as Support, throw down Ammo kit in a safe spot in your spawn area -- I did it one the one story containers. Then when you respawn as engineer, you can go to that spot and keep launching your army of Johnny 5s down into the tunnels and sneak up on someone camping it. Even if someone blows it up you can just put another out instantly cause you got your ammo pack.

I think you let me kill you with the EOD. Working on the underslung launcher now. Can't seem to get the aim right. I think this is going to take a while. Also, getting top 5 in gun master is going to be a challange for me. Almost done with the carbine kills. I think im at 77/100. Getting to like the ACW-R alot.

Launcher work great on Bazzaar. At objective "B' find a room with guys spawning all over in it (defending) and launch away. Bouncing the grenades off walls and into the room worked wonders for me. Also, alternating between your hand grenades helps, as it gives you that extra second of keeping them in place. If you need a top 5 in gun master, I can help you out with that. Only seems fair, since Nexus helped me. We joined the AVS server and he let me kill him enough times to get a lead. By the time others joined in, my spot was secured. Honestly, it's the last time I see myself ever playing that mode.

If anyone else needs a cheapie EOD or other kill, let me know. A few deaths isn't going to affect my KDR...not that I really care about that. I use it more as a guide to see if I'm improving at all, rather than the end-all value of my worth.

similar to spyder's comment....just join a gun master game with 2-3 players and go through the progression and it will give you a better chance of finishing in the top 5 if there are only 6 or so people by the time the match ends.

I do have my laptop next to me when recording and my plan is to delete everything unless something spectacular happens. That's a good idea about renaming the file after the clip you want. I think I'll try that. Yeah, maybe we could do a dual record thingy. What would be the best way to implement that though?
