The Type 88 was good to me but I'm doing better with the M249, not sure if it's because I'm just making modest gains up the skill curve though.TCRS said:I love the Type 88
Is there any resource out there that rates the weapons. I really can't make heads or tails of which weapons are better than others. Is the unlock level a weapon indicative of its value?

They might wait and see how it shakes out as more people unlock the equipment, but I expect the spam to get worse, not better. demize99 is also known to troll a little bit.bluerei said:

Then that is the worst troll post ever. And they had all of beta to look at those stats. And QA.
It shouldn't be nerfed. It's so easy to kill them and get around mortars.

I feel utterly useless in a jet because all it has is the chaingun and I can't kill anyone with it. Not sure how i'll ever level it up.
Yeah, mortars are ok. I use it quite a bit and would say that they would remove hit notification if it was in there at the start but it isn't.
And you do show up on the map to opposing mortar teams even if no one spotted you.
Would also be a problem if they were more powerful but right now it takes a direct hit to kill.
Great for shelling defenses and control points.

Just unlocked Extinguisher for the jet and boy did I have to do a lot for so little. Shot down several jets and disabled a few in a one round. I spent all of that round, just for the Extinguisher.
The worst thing that could happen in this game is a stats/unlock reset for whatever reason. I still stand by my claim that this game has worst unlock system of any FPS I've played.

I put the Campaign disc in for the first time but there seems to be a problem. The game loads, shows a cinematic scene with the bridge..I hear sirens..I then see the title ELECTRONIC arts, and then it just cuts out and goes back to the Mission loading screen again. It just repeats this non stop.
Help?

Using rockets on infantry is stupid. The splash damage is small enough that unless you are looking at a group of 3 or 4 enemies you're better off with your gun.
I'm not noticing a lot of camping or engineering-heavy games on the PS3. Not many people play support but atm I'm fucking loving it.
Rushing back from enemy lines to get back on your side of a bridge, get shot at, hopping over a wall and sliding into prone is glorious.
Then some prone fucker watching the MCOM shot me once with his pistol and I died but I got a laugh out of it anyway.

Sorry if old but here in Germany the media is going wild concerning Origin. It is reported that the software has many privacy infringements.
After installing Origin, you allow EA to gain acces to your PC. Not only they can gather information about installed soft- and hardware, but also IP, visited websites and browser cache and personal files on your computer.

I'm still unable to adequately destroy ground vehicles? Like in this game's predecessor? Battlefield 2?kitch9 said:
The main turret (unless it's the A-10 or Frogfoot) isn't that effective against tanks. The rocket pods are the biggest joke in the game right now. I just want the flares, the heatseekers and a ground bomb or something that's actually capable of disabling a vehicle in one-hit. I just want to fly a jet like I did in BF2. But hey, DICE has to keep those carrots on the stick, so I'll keep flying if that means I'll have some adequate air-to-ground weapons.

I'm getting so frustrated with this game right now. Like someone said earlier when its good, its gooood. When its bad, its just baaad. And not necessarily because of lack of teamwork. Broken Melee, RPG and Launcher spam, inconsistent controls (jumping some rails doesn't work). I don't know if I can call this a problem, but the Random Spawn in TDM is literally random. You spawn and an enemy can spawn in that same spot seconds after you. (I was thrown into TDM by matchmaking, probably my last time ever playing that gametype)
First time I got a headache playing a game in a while. Will try again tonight.
EDIT: BTW, are there any levels with ATVs?! I miss those from BC2

I'm with TheSeks on this. There's no way the controls are tighter. Beta controls were tight. The final game's controls? Bad, pretty bad. It's fine that CozMick is cool with the controls but for a lot of people (from what I've read of other forums) they're a problem.TheSeks said:
On the discussion a page or two back about running out of mines or RPGs, I usually just suicide when I run out :jnc If I'm not actively capturing a point, I'll just suicide to refill since I don't care about K/D. I end up suiciding a lot because I often have to spend 4-6 stingers (with EXPL) spec to take down a single jet, and there are always more jets or choppers to shoot down. It means I get 6 more tank mines, which is great. I end up covering every road in mines by the end of the round

It would be massively unbalanced to have the game setup as you say. You can disable a tank with one burst of the cannon, and a few more hits will destroy it.
Feels about right to me... It gives any engineers chance to fix any damage you've caused while you turn round.

Holy shit (this was me btw).
Managed to steal the Abrams from the enemy when he tried to repair and spent the whole game absolutely destroying people. Almost the whole other team went engineer, but me and my gunner would jump out and repair up and for some reason noone shot us.

It's a pain in the ass having to jump through so many hoops just to unlock air vehicle shit. I still have two more unlocks to go before I unlock the guided missile (which from I've seen is actually able to disable vehicles in one splash). The unlock system is awful and there's nothing satisfying about unlocking these air vehicle unlocks. It's a fucking grind.

Jets are supposedly getting a buff but it looks like they're primarily anti-air units in BF3. Choppers are better for anti-ground.vidal said:

does anyone here use the M27/RPK extensively? What do you guys think of those guns? I've been using them thinking that they're more inline with assault rifle accuracy than LMG, but i'm not sure
Haha. Yesterday I had a low-flying jet flying overhead and it started getting out of control(think it got hit). I was laughing for a second, until it took an unexpected turn in my general direction. At first I was like, "shit", but then when I saw it was coming right for me, I was like "SHIIIIT!" and started freakin. Plane hit me pretty much dead on and killed me. Sucked, but it was a pretty cool moment regardless. And it made me think: is suicide bombing a legit strategy for jets considering how hard it is to be effective with them at low levels?kendrid said:
BACK TO SQUARE ONE
Man do I suck at BF3. I grew to be quite skilled at other Battlefields but it's the new maps and lack of scopes make each kill very hard to get at this point. As well there is a little too much HUD on my screen, especially when you are near a flag in Conquest.
Sigh. I'm going to have to give this some time if I'm going to hold my head up high.

I just had the best ending to the game. Note: There are spoilers.
At the very end of the campaign when I am fighting Solomon in Times Square an amazing glitch happened. Solomon's body model never loaded properly. I was having an intense fist fight and getting the crap knocked out of me with just myself. I threw myself onto the police car and then grabbed the rock and beat a non-existant person to death. It reminded me a lot of that one fight scene in Fight Club near the end of the film.
I wish I was recording to so other could see my character's mental state break down. The M. Night Shyamalan twist was that there was no Solomon, he was in fact just me. Blackburn has PTSD after seeing his comrades killed and was living two personalities in order to redeem himself. Woah.

Ha..
Sort of able to edit Color Correction, add vignette, adjust FXAA to my liking (how much and exactly where to apply it), add sharpness, etc. About to see if I can add DoF/Motion Blur (seperate from the in-game)
Quick test, it's a little dark and drab but it's just a test

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Man I freaking love the Type 88. I've only got the stock gun with no attachments right now and I'm doing really well with it. I can't wait to find out what happens once I unlock a foregrip and some sights. Of course the one game I played with it on the GAF server the freaking server crashed right before the round ended and my stats weren't saved

I am in love with mines.
Rushing to some point, putting them everywhere on the road, wait for jeep full of people to drive right into them and watch them explode, so good. Had some great games on the GAF Europe server today, metro conquest should be fucking destroyed though.
