Yes lets assume Indiana Jones wasn't raped by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.
If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.
If you have a sniper rifle and no secondary weapon aside from a pistol, you're a sniper.

C4 is a weapon, Melissia, as is an Anti-Tank mine and Mortar-spotter device.
I won't defend BF3 anymore against either of your logics. I haven't spawn camped or been spawn camped except for roughly a dozen times in the many months I have been actively playing BFBC2.
I also have found a server with a group of level-headed people and a good crowd, so this doesn't happen anyways. If you want to switch to a different gakky random name server every time you play and not stick with one, then that is your problem.
Spawn Camping doesn't happen nearly as much as you say, and Sniping being as OP as you say it is isn't true either.
Call me any word you want, but I know that Melissia hasn't spawn camped or been spawn camped in 51%+ of the games she has played. Its very close to impossible.
But hey, I can't tell you what to say. If you want to exaggerate your experiences, you can all you want.

Don't claim to know what my gaming experience has been, that's incredibly arrogant and I won't stand for that kind of pretentiousness.

Yes, quite.
Awesome 9 minutes of flying around in a drone, at least in battelfield the vehicles have a respawn time attached to them. Its not like they instantly reappear once the vehicle is destroyed it takes some time to respawn. Vehicles are an important resource, the UAV spots and kills enemies and once it goes down it doesn't matter if the player accrued a million points, the UAV is down for some time to let the other team get some reprieve.
As far as hitting things in Bad Company 2, they had a horrible glitch where UAV's were being used to hit a chopper's rotors and causing the chopper to crash. I had great experiences with battlefield and the series has some of my most memorable moments, CoD has some of them as well but nowhere near as great. Although a nice 33-2 match is edging into place right now.
The graphics look great, the guns emit smoke when they fire which is a cool feature, and the destroyable terrain is something I'll always enjoy. There is one major pet peeve I have though, the gun doesn't sway nowhere near as much when you sprint as it should. If you watch the guys running in front of you they move the gun a lot when they run and your guy is rocking it to sleep in his arms.

Oh well, they've got to do a campaign to keep up with the rest of the market.
The console port of Battlefield 2 had a campaign, it was pretty decent what with a mission where you get to snipe from a moving helicopter and whatnot. I got the game used though and didn't get the manual so I died twenty or so times by plummeting to my death before looking it up online and learning that you're supposed to hold the triangle button. After that I spec ops dropped out of choppers and capped points like nobody's business.

Have you noticed that in the Faultline videos the shooting seems very similiar to Medal of Honor?

And when you countered that position, I did not press the issue further, assuming that you were telling the truth about your experiences.
Regardless, I hope this game's single player is good enough to buy.

I doubt it will be. The campaign for the console version of Battlefield 2 involved stopping the launch of missiles by rogue factions( like in Modern Warfare, but it was an all out assault compared to a special operation). Battlefield 3 will probably have a campaign like Modern Warfare 2(the whole invasion by the russians thing) and will rely on its use of settings like Paris and other European cities among the tank battles in the middle east that it shows.

Battlefield supports teamwork in the same way that cholesterol supports good health-- only certain kinds of it and even then only in a very limited amount.
Karon wrote:Yeah, right. So the majority of games you have played, you always had to fight over vehicles, always got spawn camped.
Yes. Which is why I almost always refused to use vehicles in the game, it wasn't worth being teamkilled over-- the vehicles had gakky control schemes anyway.
I agree and disagree with what youve been sayin so far Melissia, yes the vehicle controls can be as great as a drunk driver (except the tank, i loved the tank controls).
I never ran into the problem of team killing for vehicles when i played BFBC2 and i was on it for a good 3 or 4 solid months (what system did you use? the 360 seemed frightenly good for people not being idiots, which was odd)
Yes the "supports teamwork" if it can be called that only ever worked if you were playing with your friends. Hell i played with my paintball and military buddies so we were allways squaded together and kicking crap outa the other teams (saddly not everyone is lucky enuf to have buddies who go so in depth into tactics in a video game..... hell i was a crack shot with the artillery in chromehounds, but that is a diferent story for a diferent day)
The spawn camping could get anoying, yet i was lucky enuf not to encounter it that often, and when i did i could always kill the spawn camper (got to love RPGs )
The majority of games I played had people sticking together, but trying to stay farn enough apart to avoid being killed all at the same time. We had some matches where three assault guys and an engineer would get into a tank and roll to an objective. The three assault players used all of the weapons while the engineer hopped out to repair the vehicle when needed.
If I get into a chopper I provide air support for my team by marking targets, hitting enemy tanks, and ramming enemy UAVs. If I snipe, I mark enemy targets and tanks with the magnet dart. If I get medic I revive snipers and throw medkits to my team.
I've never once had a game where the entire team decided to run off to do their own thing and forgetting the rest of the team.
Another bonus point in Battlefield's cap is the ability to set up classes during the match. In Call of Duty you have classes that you set up during a match and if those classes are no good against the set ups the other team is using then you're messed over until the end of the match. In Battlefield if you notice that your sniper rifle isn't doing what you want it to, you can switch it to another rifle or add on a different scope or what have you when you die.
Personally, I am excited about this game. It is going to be one of the three games that I will really want to get this X-mas(the other two being ME 3 & Space Marine), though I never have played the Battlefield series, it looks great, complex, and just spectacular and destructive on a mass scale(that's what I like in my games).

If you don't mind me asking melissia, why did you play the game for ~100 hours knowing that the game is gak (in your view)? personally if i dislike a games multiplayer i usually only have about 10hours on it...

Possibly for the same reason people look at crashes as they drive past
Or because if you bought something you want to play it to feel like you didn't waste your money.
Id like to know some of peoples IGN names and if they play on PC or PS3 for the ones complaining to see how much they really played online, or how bad they are (to look at the stat sites to see)
Or if its just senseless talk just to flame a game.
Team Killing for vehicles doesn't happen in BC2, i think i would see 1 maybe 2 servers that actually used friendly Fire.
Only complaints i have are..
Going 55-0 and repair the tank and somone hopes in and takes off then dies and gets you killed, was hoping to hit 100 to match my old BF1942 game :(. (yes, it was on normal tickets)
People seemed to do this now and then..
People defending putting C4 on objective.
Suicide c4 objectives pre damage change to it.
Hopefully there is a month of open beta for BF3 to play like they did for BC2.

Because people kept saying it gets better, you'll find that one server that's good, yada yada yada.
I give games the benefit of the doubt. THe minimum I'll put into an FPS multiplayer game is usually around fourty hours before I give up on it...

You should play it on console, its a lot better on console. There's less accuracy so snipers are somewhat diminished, team killing doesn't happen often, and of course no hacks(depending on console although I think they're pretty good at stopping hacks on the PC version as well). You do have to put up with kids, in which case team kill away because most of the other players will understand.

Or you could rent one or borrow it from a friend you know. Renting still exists and some places still rent consoles, I know my local Blockbuster does. Why is that whenever someone wants to try something out they buy it if they can rent it?

Because I have no intention of renting a game console, or buying one any time soon. It's not worth my money.
