and also AA is on high because I sometimes mistake jaggies for people moving around and it's very distracting
snipers make me rage. They don't even contribute most of the time, they just sit on mountains or prone in corners. One sniper on a mountain isn't going to do much besides kill a few guys. Not enough to stop a point being captured or make an offensive move on a point.
I feel like every sniper is just some kid thinking hes l33tic00l.
Also I think it might be the pirated version of BF3 on my other harddrive conflicting with the legit one I installed just now.
I just completely removed the pirated one and Origin started whining about not having it installed. Gotta download the whole thing again now. Shit.

I regret buying a disc copy since you have to end up downloading it anyways. Doesn't help that my DVD drive sucks, so I ended up just registering the key on Origin and downloading it. Might have just been the drive.

Cry me a river, I bought it.
So I am thinking of going into hardcore mode.
Why?
It isn't the damage system, I kill people fine.
It isn't the 3d spotting, I am okay with that.
It isnt the sniper equipment, I couldn't give less of a shit.
I want to go into hardcore so I can beat the living shit out of teammates who are not doing anything.
I was capping the hotel point on karkand at the very beginning when all of my team is concentrated down the main road so when I see a tank drive up next to the point I think "oh that bitch is about to be covered in rockets".
Nope! I get blown the fuck up and in the killcam I see the tank sitting there and realize my teammates ARE attacking the tank.
With fucking bullets. Assault rifle and smg bullets.
I left that server immediately.
How to take the TV station on Sharqi from RU side (works best at beginning of round)
[IMG]http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll320/Mysterypegnuin/sharqipen64.jpg[/IMG]
Make sure you at least have one recon and preferably a full squad
Use the RHIB boat to flank the outer hills, then run up and behind towards the back of the station. Once there, have the recon place the beacon behind the building and get them to suicide and spawn so that they can parachute to the roof, preferably with one other squad mate accompanying him.
While the two members are clearing out the upper part of the TV station, the other two squadmates who didn't spawn on the beacon need to take the backdoor in and try to fight their way up. This will sandwich the defenders, and even if the ground-level units are killed, they can spawn on the squad-members on the roof. For hardcore, have the squad leader take the roof path to provide a spawnpoint if the recon gets killed or is unable.

And this is why I always spawn at G on Sharqi.
Once someone on the Russian side got in there with a USAS with frags when I didn't spawn there. He killed half my team.

If I am at the point where I feel I have to kill 5 of my teammates then I do not want to be on that server anymore.
OKay, so, a few minutes into the round on a 26v26 server, I had 1447 points, topping my team.
After a full, grueling, unbelievably shitty 500 tickets, we lose, and I'm at 1839 points. The kicker was that I was still 5th on my team. Half the time my teammates wouldn't even [I]shoot[/I] at the damn enemy! They just stood there looking, waiting, and not even doing shit after I got killed.
Not to mention, it was wake island, the worst B2K map. The vehicle whoring only increased my rage.
I never really liked Wake Island in BF2. I always ended up on the US side and we always got spawn raped. I didn't hate it as much as this map though.

God this map was horrible. I dont think I EVER won as the US.
That map was amazing, it was massive and had jets that actually did something useful unlike BF3.

Everytime I was on the US side, we would get spawn trapped with half the enemy team as snipers in the hills around it, and the other half as spec ops running around and c4ing the jets/artillery/helicopters/uav/everything. It generally wasn't a fun experience. And any air support that we did get off the ground instantly got taken out by enemy jets.
I hope they remake more maps though. Like Mashtuur City or Road to Jalalabad or even something like Dragon Valley or Highway Tampa.

Now, being someone who's never played BF2, I've only been able to watch videos of gameplay on the older maps. One map I'd really like to see come back, just from how it looks, is Kubra Dam.

Now, despite how cool it looks, and how it seems very vertical (Something pretty unique), how would this map be if it were brought to BF3. Was it fun in BF2, or did it just lead to spawn traps?

Any map would be a better replacement than Wake
I want Dragon Valley more than anything else... it was the best!
Now I want to reinstall BF2. Anyone know the status on servers? Are there any good East Coast ones?

I remember that map being pretty fun. especially since you could take out the bridge that spanned that chasm and block passage to the other side, forcing troops and tanks to take the long way.
I just got Battlefield 3, and I couldn't find limited edition, so great, I need to buy Back to Karkand.
Oh what the fuck, I have to download a 3.9gb update, let me guess, its Back to Karkand.

You'll be able to see people using the B2K weapons and such in normal games even if you don't have B2K, so you'll have to DL the assets.
With 12gb of ram I can run this game beautifully, apparently.

Dalian Power Plant.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DICE, I LOVE THAT MAP TO DEATH
Rate this post Agree if you flew a jet in BF2 and in BF3 you recognised the jet controls instantly.
Fuck recons who sit on a hill a mile away aiming into the window of a jet/helicopter, and spawn kills everyone who enters it. They can line up the shot perfectly because it takes some time for jets and helicopters to actually move, so unless you quickly exit the vehicle there's no escape to getting your head blown off.
M14 with ACOG is fucking boss.
First round ever using it (that is, with the ACOG) was probably my best ever.

Weapons are not 4gb, its the maps too.
Anyways, last time I play a new game tried as shit.
Kills 1
Deaths 29
K/D Ratio 0.034

This is an amazing map.
I was disappointed when DICE announced Back to Karkand because I never liked Sharqi, Karkand, Wake and Oman that much. I'd rather have Dragon Valley, Kubra Dam, Dalian Plant and Daqing Oilfields in BF3 expansion.
I also loved Fushe pass
