  1. Re:Not sure I like this game much on Battlefield 3 Performance: 30+ Graphics Cards Tested · · Score: 1

    with every BF game I play there is a breaking period where I have to relearn the visual cues that tell me a bad guy is in my field of view. Until I learn that, I am a sack of ground beef.

    Tactics also change slightly from game to game... in BF3, killing someone by hitting the wall they are behind is possible with out the Noob Tube and Grenades are actually something you should run hard and fast from.

    I get so pissed when I get in a helicopter or tank or Humvee just to realize the driver is a moron and gets me killed.

    the killability can be set by the server. On most hardcore servers, they reduce the health to 60% so you can barley survive a fall but if you get hit with a bullet or a grenade explodes 10 feet from you, you die.

    I hated Origin and the game user's homepage, but it offloads a lot of the player authentication from the game itself which likely simplifies the game because it doe snot have to worry about user authentication. It is also nice to have all my stats in one place which obviates my need to go to a 3rd party system to analyse my progress.

    I think that more game makers who want to compete with Steam will end up utilizing the Windows Game center feature so there is still a one stop shop for all of your games no matter where you have bought them from.

    They actually have figured out that they should support PunkBuster problems more....now they actually put a link on a banner on the player's home page that directs you to the latest Punkbuster.

    WTF are you talking about? The most effective people are the people with the best squad cohesiveness.

    What I want to see is a special vehicle talk so you can talk to the driver even if you are not in their squad.

    Operation Metro should only be a Rush map. As a conquest map... if Russia gets point B with enough force right off the bad, then it is nearly impossible for the US to move beyond the steps... especially if the RU is playing plenty of Assault and Support roles with lots of grenades.....My friend got 7000 points as an assault class because he launched 3 grenades.... it killed 23 in total before he died....why? because the US stacks up on the steps.

    Perhaps you need to learn to not run out in the open and use proper tactics when assaulting a point.

    It does help to play on a squad that has the ability to communicate with each other.

    I love BF3...

    Perhaps a poll of CoD players would agree with you but other than that, I think it is a well received game.

    troops dying is not the same thing as troops engaging the enemy in a planned attack.

    Also... yes I am aware that a mechanic and a doctor and even security units are trained and equipped to fight... but we have not been going on seek and destroy missions or extraction missions, or anything of that nature... we have been busy withdrawing all our troops for the last year.
