Well, I like you... you're not like all the other losers on this forum :) - and by losers I mean just Necris.


I find it odd too with BF3 the fact theres what 30 days till final release and theres still bugs in the game, like the ground disappears and you can go under it in certain places and keybindings are bit aloof.
Or the sniper somehow gets glare/glint when you're underground in the subway... (I also think it glints constantly regardless of aiming through the scope or running- which it shouldn't unless you're only scoping someone).

Funnily enough though playing on the AUS servers was lagging than the US ones as well.


The knife/assassinations are cool though, when someone gets you they turn you around to face them then stab you or slit your throat, Im not entirely sure what as I've yet to do it on someone.

I've been on the recieving end of a knife kill. Was prone in the grass trying to snipe people. Had one guy lined up on as he was on the run and just before I could pull the trigger I had my head twisted and renched back and then stabbed. The animations were awesome and gave a real 'Oh shit, I'm fucked' moment. Instead of the, I'm dead wtf!? Oh.... knifed in the back, that's what happened.

The lens flare seems to go off at unreal occurrences, but the laser sight flare is awesome for people on the recieving end anyway. You definantly know when someone's pointing their gun at your head. Had someone line me up as I was running across the grass and saw a quick flare of the laser and was able to pick him off before he got me. Obviously the laser sight has it's pros and cons. Good for close quarter combat with hip firing but bad for open spaces as people can see you targeting them.

Laser sight?
You mean the red dot beam/laser thing like you see in those special ops movies with the green or red laser dots beaming around in the dark?

Awesome.. didn't know the game had those.

I think i saw someone with a flashlight too... for whatever good that does.

^ ^ that was probably the stupidest reply to 'laser sight' since it was so obvious.

Haha yeh the laser pointer things :p

Yeh there is a flashlight. I mentioned it somewhere at the start of the thread, when talking about new inclusions. The flashlight can actually blind you in very low light situations or in not so darker areas at least flare up and make it hard to distinguish targets........but that easy to fix, just shoot the source :p

Hmm interesting point though, I wonder if the laser will light up in particle effects like dust and smoke so you can actually see the beam. I only witnessed it out in the open in full light so it was only a dot at the end destination, no beam.......will keep my eye out tonight, see if I can't nab it off anyone that's using it

yeah in the subway darkness might be a good place for it, but i'd be interested to see it through the smoke and fog in the open areas.

Also.. I don't think they made this game for controllers on PC, so not sure if Blue will like that or not, I think they kept it true to its homage with the PC version.

I didn't see any controller assignments in it but I could be wrong anyway since I probably didn't pay attention to it fully I just play :D

Just PC. For me, it doesn't belong on a console, much the same as Diablo 3

Yeah, I did read the devs saying it was built for its original place of business the PC.
Just curious what people were doing, since talking with Necris, most of his friends are on console so he's buying it on X360 only..

Since most of you guys are sporadic at best for gaming, its not a problem for me since anytime I ever did play BF and the BF2 series it was always on my own, or occasionally with someone I'd met on there.

I was tempted to get on console originally but after upgrading my PC it only seems reasonable that this is the place to play it, that and playing with a mouse/kb just seems better than a controller with auto aim assist.

Oh and Blitz, Ill get Diablo 3 and try to find some time to play that too, I never played the other 2 but I hear the 3rd is pretty good, but not as great as the other two, seems they dumbed it down or took a few hardcore RPG type elements out.

I think the only thing that they took out the hardcore ppl are complaining about is the stat point allocation. I think that's what I remember reading somewhere. Diablo 3 this is.

I've preordered now on PC, but may also get the 360 version. Depends how much I get into it, and who's playing on what. My brother in law is getting it on 360, so will need to get it on that if he bugs me enough to play with him. (that sounded wrong)

I caved and downloaded the beta. Every server was full so I couldn't join. I'm not sold on the web-browser launcher either...

Looks like I'll be waiting for the full game anyway.

Im hoping this browser based "server finder" is only for the beta and hoping its not going to be part of the final release as BFBC2 had it in built into the game.

From what I heard though people are saying its a permanent thing with all this social bullshit...

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/09/battlefield-3s-oddly-browser-based-pc-beta/
and
http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/7563643.page

But in my mind this is utter stupidity, to switch servers or play with friends you have to quit the entire game to switch.. making it ridiculous method of gameplay flow and seems a big laziness on the development part.

A bit like changing your graphics setup and config, you have to be in the game playing and alive to actually modify and change anything (though this is in the beta, can't confirm in retail)

Ill keep looking for any info on if this is permanent, not sure how the console will do it, but its one reason to get it on the console vs. the PC if its going via this online Battlelog shit.

The website has placeholders for campaign and anothr mode I can't recall, so I think it's going to be used for the final release. I just hope it's optional. Guess it's not the end of the world if not, but being the sort of person who closes everything before gaming and reboots between sessions it irks me.
