[ALL] Battlefield 3

[BrntO4Life]

I played last night on hardcore with 200% tickets and holy hell. I played 2 maps and an hour and a half later I was finished lol. Racked up alot of XP tho

I did that as well, except it was on Rush, which is fucking stupid. Server was heavily slanted towards the attacking team.

I've rented out a 360 server just to fuck around with the Heli's and Jets. I suck at these things. Feel free to join.


Its unranked so it wont screw with your Score Per Minute for those that care about it.

Finished a Metro 1000+ ticket conquest match from start to finish today. When one team isn't completely dominating the other, this can be very fun and a very easy way to unlock equipment for the Support class.

If I wanted to play CoD i would buy CoD.

Really annoying at the direction they've gone.

I think I've ranted about this before too but this game as a whole I'm not really feeling it even at this point. I don't know what it is but I find myself getting frustrated more often then not whereas back in the bf2/bf2142 days I literally spent well over 1000 hours on each game.

I can't wait to see the amount of camping that's about to go on.

Unless you roll in a pack, you're going to get chopped down into hamburger meat every time.

 

I'm not even going to bother with a Med Kit.

Unless you can cauterize your wound Rambo-style with the powder of a Frag Shell, all you're gonna get from me is a M320 'Nade

...still buying it though :shifty:

Also, I LOVE the new option to rent a server. Will come in extremely handy for a certain community game night coming up soon...

Explain this to me because I just heard about this today. Why is renting servers a good idea? It almost sounds to me that you're just guaranteeing a party stays together. So I have to pay because their matchmaking and party system is fucked up?

/Twigg is a cheap-o

There's no way to answer this without saying either "that's the way it is" or "they do it already on PC and they don't complain... much."

$2 to practice using helicopters and jets all day isn't too terrible when you aren't under threat of getting shot down or C4'd out of the sky due to a TK.

That and the option to not have to play with randoms that suck helps.

Customized matches is the biggest draw IMO. You can make a ranked Conquest server with higher ticket counts or an ultra-hardcore server where people take much more damage. As Jay mentioned, you can use a server to learn how to fly without having to worry about ruining a game or upsetting people.

Then, there's the competitive scene where having your own private server to host matches is much easier than trying to find and fill an empty public server before randoms enter.

There's also people who use their servers to boost and get unlocks. I've seen a couple of conquest servers that consist of vehicles going around in a circle capping flags to open unlocks and admins who actively ban anyone who kills other players.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Looks like they have it all covered, Twigg.

 

[Twigg4075]

Thanks for clarifying. I figured the fact that I thanked them both would've sufficed. Jerk face.

But, back on topic, anyone feel like playing this today? Either platform. I haven't played in quite some time and I'm hankering from some Battlefields.

Good ol Stat Padding. Been a staple of the battlefield franchise since BF2.

You guys literally have no idea how cheap that rent a server option is either. I remember back in the day spending well over 120 a month to have my 32 slot bf2/2142 server. Owning your own server though is 100X better then retarded match making.

It's great, except they're always sold out on 360.

Depends on what everybody's schedules are.

I hope you guys start to see the light about dedicated servers and why back when MW2 was released I was beyond pissed at the matchmaking system to the point that I never bought the game.

 

[Twigg4075]

BestBuy.com has this for both PS3 and 360 for $19.99.

What part of "it's great" did you not understand? The "except they're always sold out" portion was simply qualifying that I can never rent my own server even though I try fairly often.
