Subject: What I don't like about Battlefield 3.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Ok to start off, the game is pretty freaking fun and amazing. More enjoyable than Halo 4 and other FPS's. Or at least, a nice change.

Anyway, the thing I can't stand is the size of the maps. Yes, having huge maps is actually very fun in most cases, but when the gametype is heavily based on vehicle use, not fun to me. I played a game (can't remember the map or gametype - been awhile for remembering the names) where I died once. LOL YOU DIED! Yes i know. I got 2 or 3 kills after that. But the entire time i was wondering around the map. The game was a little over 45mins long.

Main point. Large maps aren't always a good thing. In this game, the maps are a bit TOO OPEN. But I guess I can understand by having it so, people are forced to migrate inward. Hmmm.

Sorry if this seems confusing. This is the only way I could explain it right now.

Wheres Meh Sniper?

I love the large maps, I prefer to play as a recon, and go for the long shots. Marksman bonus is a great thing. However when the map is full of vehicles it is a very slow game for me.

Then why don't you just play on servers that have small maps?

Why? Because I prefer games that don't make everyone scatter or sit around due to most of the people using jets to spawn kill and such?

Totally flew over your head.

The maps are big because the maps are specifically made for vehicle combat, and almost exclusively vehicle combat.

So if you don't like vehicle combat, DON'T PLAY THOSE MAPS

This really. I'm an Engineer/Assault, and I just can't stand the -blam!- new guns from map packs, the overpriced mappacks and premium, and the -blam!- community. In Bad Company 2, when I target something, my guys take it down stat. In Battlefield 3, if I spot something or ask for help, I rarely get any aid. Meanwhile in Bad Co 2, Assault spammed ammo for allies. Same with medics.

Honestly, I'm amazed that I haven't sold the game. Bad Co 2 is so much better, and I'm pissed they're making Battlefield 4 instead of Bad Co 2.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

I think the only patch that I enjoyed was the one when they fixed the usas12 with explosive rounds.

Ssshhhh. Maybe it did.
I search for ANY TYPE on ANY MAP. Goes quicker. I like playing Conquer/Conquest or whatever it's called. Not a fan of TDM games either. IDK I'M WEIRD I SORRY!

I am still amazed that DICE managed to made a gun that actually was too much dakka. Those shotguns are OP as -blam!- though. Again, Bad Co 2 nailed the meaning of balance. Not to mention it was lulzy in that game to counter-snipe snipers with a SAIGA-20K loaded with slugs and firing from the hip.

Good times.

"If practice makes perfect" and 'nobody's perfect,' then what's the point of practice?"

Sounds like you'd have more fun playing Rush instead of Conquest. Since you know exactly where the action is going to be in Rush unlike Conquest where the fighting is spread out.

If you still prefer Conquest then stick with smaller maps like Siene Crossing, Davamand Peak, Noshar Canals, Tehran Highway, Strike at Karkand, or Grand Bazaar. The new Aftermath maps have a great mix of vehicle and infantry combat with more focus on infantry combat.

Don't play Armored Kill if you play on console. Those maps are ghost towns when it comes to infantry combat.

I feel the same way.

Bad Co. 2 to me is just so much funner and teammates would actually help.

STOP ASSAULT 2012

Who is Assault? Assault is a mod in the Bungie.net brony group. And what started out with good intentions, viciously spiraled down into a power hungry tyrant locking thread after thread after thread to quell all opposition to his tyrannical rule. Did I mention he is a tyrant?

To donate to the STOP ASSAULT 2012 movement, message me with your credit card info, full name, social security, full adress, and mothers maiden name.

I can only assume you're playing on a console because PC is never really too barren(though some playes like on firestorm that just have no people, but also no reason to go out in the middle of nowhere)

Rush is always pretty good though because as someone else said, the action is contained to a small(er) area.

Just for the record, cough syrup is the bane of my existence.

The only thing I hate about BF3 is the fact that there's 12GB of map packs and updates sitting on a flash drive.

  • 01.03.2013 9:54 PM PDT

The prone mechanic doesn't help either, especially on larger maps.

  • 01.03.2013 9:54 PM PDT

This is a silly thing to complain about, seeing that you can taylor the BF3 experience however you like. Play a large scale Conquest match on Caspian Border, or settle for TDM on Metro.

That is the beautiful thing about BF3 - it does everything. Small, medium, large, objective, deathmatch, vehicles, infantry, it's all there.
