As long as we don't run into those annoying heli-whores again.olimpia84 said:
We've been playing nothing but conquest lately as rush always seems to come down to lost of campers on the defense side. Heck sometimes even on the offensive side when you have a bunch of worthless players on.
Ran into a level 50 one like that yesterday. He couldn't play worth a damn. Such a weird sight.
Anyway, we should both be on every night this week between 10PM and 1AM CET as I don't have to work and he has the late shift.
If we really get bored or annoyed with a certain group of people or map, we log out and restart a Harvest Day conquest day since those tend to be the most fun.
Not sure if you like it as much as us. If so, just say so and I'll send out another request when we jump servers.

Finished with all LMGs, now focusing my attention on the Thompson (Gold 5), and then the Saiga (Gold 3)
If I have enough time, I'll try to finish up the G3 as it has only one gold star instead of the USA12, also with one gold star
Gotta make the last 19 days counts

Gotta remember that it is dependant on the quality of your opponents (and to some degree your team mates).
I don't know if you guys saw this already, but here's a youtube video of a BF3 Rush game on a new map, actually looking good on the PS3. I think there's still hope! I wonder why Dice did the Beta with an old build like that...most people I know didn't like it. And the map selection sucked! I played dozens of hours on Arica BC2 beta, and I still loved that map on the final release, I guess I'll just quit games as soon as Metro comes in rotation.
I still wish I had more time to play it and get used to the new controls...this past weeks I've barely played at all...

Well, there is at least one tank on the map. :-/
That being said, I tried going back to BF3 and hated every second of it.
Nothing but fucking campers laying on their bellies or one shot killing you, over and over again.
While I can't aim for shit thanks to the atrocious gun handling.
I don't know what the fuck it wrong with me.
I was able to learn the Killzone 2 controls after giving it a couple of hours and loved it to bits for it's incredible gunplay, yet I can't for the life of my get used to how the guns handle, not how the aiming works in BF3.
I even have trouble hitting a lying target with a X4 and in single burst mode when I'm not even under fire. It sucks, it just plain sucks.

Finally got every medal/pin last night
Been playing some Conquest on ps3, I finally understand the mode, gave another chance after hearing the orgasm over caspian border. Basically team deathmatch with objectives (capture the flags). Had a lot of fun in some public matches, seems way more dynamic/less linear than rush, so I can understand why people prefer it. I still think I prefer rush a little more, but we'll see if that changes with more play time. It's a great experience though alongside rush, will definitely be bouncing back between them both in BF3.
Bring on BF3!

Damn hope it starts to grow on you man. It took a major adjustment when I first booted up the beta coming from BFBC2, but I'm glad I stuck with it, as I love the gunplay, and honestly think it's the best gunplay on console outside of the Killzone series. My main classes are the support (the machine guns make you feel like rambo) and the assault.
I would love to see way more vehicles than I'm seeing so far though, but again I guess that's mainly in conquest (I hope so). Still, would prefer rush maps more akin to Oasis and Harvest Day than metro. Love those maps (mainly Harvest Day).
I really do hope there is still going to be a Bad Company 3 though, seems like the next title their developing is going to be ME2 though (not a bad thing but still).
I really hope so too.
If they are able to tweak the controls a bit for the final release, then it may not be too hard to adjust. Guess I just remain hopeful.
Been through several different stages in the demo already.
At one point I felt like I was finally starting to adapt and get a great feel for the game, but for some strange reason I hated every second of it only a couple of days later. :-/
Not gonna play the beta any more, just to make sure it doesn't leave any more of a bad taste in my mouth for when I get my copy of the full game.
Perhaps bouncing between BC2 and BF3 beta is not helping, I just don't know.
As for BC3, DICE already commented that we can expect it in the future.
They did say that we shouldn't get our hopes up for a 2012 release though, as they aren't looking into making Battlefield a yearly thing. Which is something I'm fine with.
But it looks like they are planning on doing more things like Vietnam in the future, besides creating more content for BF3.

Good to hear. I can only imagine BC3 with the improved refinements being carried over from BF3. (Actual full scale destruction all around you).

Me too.
First Stage: Oh no, it's just like people were theorizing back in the day: MoH multi was a dry run for BF3. Gah!
Second Stage: Not so bad. Glitches aside, enjoying it, though still not happy with what they've done with Rush. I realize there's a hardcore contingent of BF fans who despise the mode, but I happen to like it and MoH/BF3's take on it just doesn't feel right.
Third Stage: There are five stages.
Fourth Stage: After seeing Caspian and being pumped, saw the new footage of maps the other day. Conquest looks great, Rush has me feeling the same as way back in the first stage all those many sentences ago.
Fifth Stage: Fuck it. It's gonna happen. Gonna play it lots. Why worry about it now.
Bonus Stage: Relapse! Wait, beat up the car? Maybe those are different things. Anyway, going from the BF3 Beta back to BC2 is quite the experience. It's like finally finishing the workday, heading to the supermarket and taking off your pants in the frozen food section. Over near the Bertolli meals. Suppose what I'm getting at is that it's very freeing:
Not exactly a Battle of the Titans there, but still--felt good to be back in some proper Rush shit.

Crashed two jets, have a K/D ratio below 1, but I did defuse one bomb and cap some points

If it's any consolation, it doesn't look like there'll be much of that happening in BF3 (going by Caspian Border feedback).OldJadedGamer said:

However, for consoles it has been confirmed that heli controls are pretty much the same as bc2

Frankly, surprise me. Whatever will run BC2 PC at a decent speed + BF3 and Halo 2/TF2 at a decent clip is fine with me right now. >_>
Also P4F continues to suck. Which is crazy because Heroes isn't that terrible even with default kits when you don't get the utter hax enemy team players.

Great News Everyone
Hopefully this remain the same upon release, I think most if not all of our fears regarding health, and possibly how the weapons feel have been addressed. Fingers crossed.

Done with the Thompson, now working on the Saiga. And I'm working on the C4 as well since I have less than 200 kills to reach platinum
With two weeks left until the release of BF3, I gotta make every second I have playing the game count.

Devs have already stated they haven't changed the damage in the final, they've just fixed various damage and weapon bugs. Damage is still a good deal higher than BC2. They used the assault XM8 + Magnum ammo as the baseline for BF3.

That's what your mother said last night, Trebeck?
Mr. Snrub said:
So, it's on Vietnam's level or a bit lower? I did bitch about Vietnam's higher damage level despite it being BC2's (IIRC what Faceless said) launch damage. But I felt the maps with too little cover didn't really give people a chance other than "hurry and break through and get the objectives quickly and hope to cover it" in Rush on Vietnam compared to BC2's lower damage model that had a bit more cover so it was an easier time to get to objectives so long as you weren't spotted in the open like on White Pass.
Of course, I still miss the ability to snipe people with the AKS-47U from across the map on White Pass Conquest. They should've added a bullet drop range for SMG's Assault Rifles instead for game balance even if it is (in practice) not "realistic" in the real world.

In BFBC2, firing doesn't make you show up on the mini-map does it? I always assumed it was only people who had been spotted who showed up on the mini-map, regardless of whether they were using a suppressed or unsuppressed weapon. You'd think after 640 hours I'd know this but someone mentioned it in the BF3 thread and now I'm doubting myself!

you guys have never seen the orange triangles briefly appear and then disappear on your minimap?

Often when I spot somebody the spot will be up there very briefly and then disappear. It often happens like that when I spot somebody and then get killed too. I've always though that those very brief spots on the minimap were just that.The Faceless Master said:

It's only a flash, but it's useful to get a general sense of where enemies are coming from.
Trust me, I'm the motion sensor whore. I know.
Yeah, me neither.
On a non-vehicle map I usually go for assault wookie so I throw balls allover the place.
Use the map all the time. Never noticed anything like this though.
When people are firing, I notice them from the direction the sound is coming from more than anything else.
