Nexaduro Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm having fun with this. A lot of fun. :thumbup: It feels like some bastard child of Crysis 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Battlefield 2, the first part of which is setting me a bit on edge, but it's a good game nonetheless. Trying to get in the groove of using a shotgun without 12 gauge slugs, though I'll unlock them soon enough. On that note, what are the uses supposed to be for Frag and Flechette shells? Less damage, seemingly less ammo... Suppression when it isn't referring to quiet weapons isn't something I'm familiar with and what would I need increased penetration to shoot through? 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Perakp Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Finished single player. I liked this better than the other 3 fps single player campaigns I've played: mw2, blops & bfbc2. A good balance of gun fight & quicktime events, good generic story with a few highlights and memorable moments thrown in there. No major complaints; the thing that bothered me the most was the lack of facial animations. Your pals have some strange looking eyes in this game.

sarg1010 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Frag rounds just suppress the enemy, even though it seems like they should do a lot of damage... and flechette rounds would be used for when enemies are bunched up, but are only really useful for the faster shotguns (aka, not the 870 due to pump action). Just use it until you get IR scope, slugs, and extended mag, then go to town. :thumbup: Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne.

RpgGamer Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 How does the suppression thing work exactly? I've had bonuses for it but have no real idea how I got them. Suppression is firing around a person which causes their character to go into stress-mode which blurs the crap out of their screen. it's probably happened to you if you've ever escaped being sniped at. You get bonuses for it if someone kills the target you were aiming at, or if you save a team mate by causing your target to stop shooting at your team mate. There's specializations you can unlock to make yourself nearly immune to suppressive fire, and one to make your bullets more "intimidating" so to speak to increase the duration of your targets stress.

That does explain a fair bit as I've had the blurry screen before just put that down to rounds and explosions going off close by. Had a couple of games earlier. Been using the A-91 a lot with suppressor and red dot sight which I've been doing pretty well with. Scattering anti tank mines about as well has bagged me a few destroy vehicle kills.

H2PM Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I went full beast mode on Operation Firestorm tonight. I spent the whole game in a jet, didn't crash once.

H2PM Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have fun with the shotgun, on the maps that are appropriate for it. You're not going to do that well with the 870 on Caspian Border.

Dexek Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I've been a longtime BFBC2 fan, and played BF3 for the first time last night at a buddies. I wasn't sure which gun to use, so I randomly decided to use the PKP Pecheneg. The first 3 rounds I could only go positive by about 5 kills, but that was until I unlocked the foregrip attachment. Then I hopped into some Deathmatch, and saw the difference the attachment made, ripping up a k/d of 17-3 and 24-4, which is more the style BFBC2 matches used to be. I went back to Conquest, which I've decided I like a whole lot more, due to the ease of kills. I'm looking forward to purchasing this game for myself and seeing how I do once I'm used to the maps. The only bug I ran into was the knife one, but since it's an EA game, I'm sure there's a number that need to be ironed out. However, I can easily wait for them to be fixed, as it doesn't mar the gaming experience very much. I definitely like how the tactical feel comes back from BFBC2, and have adjusted to Conquest rather quickly, as it was always Rush mode that my friends and I played in BFBC2. I'm sure with the new COD game, the people who enjoy the arcade feel will head back to that game and we'll be left with the tactical players for the most part. I'm definitely looking forward to some time spent with my usual squad in the coming months. :thumbsup: EDIT: Also, is there a hardcore version for the Xbox 360 yet? As in similar to the BFBC2 hardcore mode with no radar, no killcam, reduced health, and no health regeneration?

Albel Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Scattering anti tank mines about as well has bagged me a few destroy vehicle kills. It's good that they don't disappear when you're killed.This made me so happy. That is why I didn't use them at all in BC2. Been using support kit a lot the past few days. Unlock the mortars on it and I have to say I rather enjoy using them. Had a game earlier where I was a ninja. I got 7 melee kills in one round. Then the next round I got 4. That brought my kills up to 27 with the knife which made me very happy.

My guess is there aren't enough hardcore servers yet for there to be a quick match option to be viable and work. And yes, no hud except for minimap and squad, no killcam, less health, vehicles don't regenerate, nor does health, and enemy blips don't appear on screen, just on the radar. You do get a minimap though, which is kind of nice. Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!
