BattleField 3

*sigh*

giving up on this game for the ps3.

I'm trying HARD to like it but it just doesn't work for me.

The explosions seem underwhelmed compared to BC2, it took 3 shots from a tank at point blank range to blow up a wall, and it appears that only 1/3 of buildings can be destroyed.

Also the fact I still have that input lag is making the whole experience frustrating.

I used to be a PC gamer but now I can't justify building a bad-ass computer when I don't have time to play. The ONLY game that I will go build a PC for will be HL3.

Turn off Vsync - that's the only cause of input lag unless your pc is not up to spec.

My tanks do plenty of damage. I'm blowing through walls and knocking down buildings with no problem.

How do you tell how far out the shots are? I got one today that I got 507 marksman points for...

You get distances for headshots, which is really about the only way to get a one shot kill with a sniper rifle anyway. 507 marksman points should be -100 for the kill, so 407 meters. Still respectable, but there are some guys I've seen with some really long shots.

So I kept playing through all my bitching and moaning, unlocked claymores and the IRNV scope, now I'm getting 20-4 scores just laying down covering fire and giving ammo to my teammates. lulz

^ shitloads of kills and frustration from the other team can be had if you just post up in a good spot with a MG set up on bipod and you cover one area. I've finally gotten to unlocking guided missiles for the jets, only to find that they're fucking useless. They won't even disable a tank on their first shot. So by the time I loop around for another pass, the tank has repaired itself. Kinda butthurt about that.

I'm already your friend on PS3 for shootin zombies... Is that where you're playin BF3?

[Ayman]

are you really? lol. and yes. i suck at it though, it's so fucking overwhelming at first so i'm just doing campaign for right now til i get used to it

[m73m95]

Yeah, we've killed zombies a few times together HAHA.

BF3 is MUCH more intense than COD BO.... But you gotta play multi-player. It takes a few games before you stop getting Pwnd, but its still awesome.
