Battlefield 3 (Official Thread) Pt. 2

I get something similar too, but I'm using the 870MCS and sometimes I have some hybrid circle-crosshair sort of thing, it goes away with a quick knife :boozer:

 

So you had to google to find that version number? You never hit pause while playing the game?

 

Some of the weird and wonderful things I have seen so far

- Guys shooting me with no direct line of sight, with the old kill cam you could usually tell where a person was in relation to where you where and how he killed you, several times so far I've seen a kill cam where the guy just could not physically have been in that place to get that kill, never happened before this update??

- Armour, still stupidly over powered
- Vas still has the annoying zoom out glitch with the final unlocked scope
- Still can't knife people who are using mortars
- Still have people using the MAV to glitch to unreachable areas
- One on one encounters have dropped to way below the 50/50 they used to be, seriously I came round a corner, fired first, in to the head of a guy who was crouched and some how he managed to get the kill?
- The game still has the retarded the guy who's running about like an idiot, bunny hopping and generally shooting in your direction has a better chance of scoring a kill than you do crouched, not moving and using the ironsights
- Hit detection is still a game of pure luck

What exactly did this update do cause the game is still really f*cked up

 

Welcome to the ****ty use of client side hit code, this is the single most important thing turning me completely off the game, i mean whats the point,its not like before where everyone had a fair chance on the same pings because the server determined hit detection, now its completely disassociated from what you see, i.e. hide behind something but the enemy still sees you standing so you die.

Complete crap if you ask me and its making the game so fuc*ing frustrating.

 

What's even more frustrating is that in the past you would select a few decent servers based on factors such as player base, map rotation game style and most importantly ping / latency / connection (whatever you wanted to call it.) Save for a few hiccups here and there it meant you knew if you joined a server on your favourites list chances are you would have a pretty decent lag free round with decent what you see is what you get action.

Now you join a server on your favourites list you could be getting any old mess, for the first few weeks I thought it was a placebo effect, some rounds no matter hwat you did you were missing everything you aimed at and one on ones always meant you died, then another round you hit what you aimed at and you were unstoppable but of course given that everything you see and shoot at is based on who it is you are shooting at and more importantly what their connection to you is like, rather than what your connection to the server is like it does make sense that the hit detection can be so f*cked up one round while almost spot on the next....


....really why do people think this is a good game?

 

More injuries walking up curbs today... this latest patch seems to have fuxed the game more than it was before.. A lot of lag too..

On another note.. i got kicked off a server today in the middle of a serious killing streak for saying..and I quote "whut da fuk??" in reaction to some serious lag that most of the server had started complaining about... no warnings..no auto-kill... immediate kick..
Dumbest use of the "watch your language" rule I have seen yet..
Here's the server in question...

What I would like to see patched.

1) Remove Vehicle Disabled.

Destroying a tank/apc should only take 2 C4 or 2-3 rockets.

Destroying a chopper/jet/jeep/boat should only require 1 rocket.

2) MAV

Either remove it or make it so player models can't stand on it.

Far too many vehicle whoring do to this vehicle disabled nonsense and people MAV'ing on roof tops ruins the flow of gameplay.

I played 4 hours straight on Karkand and that's all I saw, most of the team was snipers MAV'ing and the other team had all the vehicles and were whoring like no tomorrow.

I doubt these will ever be patched and I'm betting 90% of the BF3 community LOVES having this sh1t in the game..Hell, I bet they all love being able to blind people with a laser site by pointing it at their feet.

 

It's pretty easy. Battlefield is vehicles and they have to be good. Depending on where and who you ask either choppers are too strong, tanks are too strong, mobile aa is too stron or even jets are. Sometimes it's the teamwork from an engineer and a recon that's too strong, another time it's an assault with his C4.
So, I guess all this is about fine.
Infantry battles are a total hit and miss though, at least I've never seen it otherwise. They should really give server admins a tool to check people's connections and kick/suspend automatically. Client side hit detection means you need a totally stable and preferably low latency connection in order to have a fair game.
Right now infantry battles are just as bad as playing MW3 against someone on a 3-bar connection. Ridiculous.

 

There has been ways to get up on tall buildings in BF2 and 2142///

If it's not the mav, people will use the heli, or jets.

I remember in 2142 people were putting the spawn beacon next to tall buildings so when they spawned they would hit the tip of the roof, then place the spawn beacon up there on the roof so they can stay up there and shoot down.

It's not a new thing to be happening in the BF series.

And the MAV flying through people to get kills, it's freaking hilarious... seriously, I can't do it because I suck at controlling it, but seeing that little thing fly through Metro getting kills.. seriously lol.



Also, about vehicle disable.. it is a good feature because you can stop a tank/car out in the open instead of letting him get in cover where he can fix himself.

You can disable a helicopter and he might crash while trying to regain control.

 

I stopped playing this game, have better things to do or other ways to get frustrate...

Wierd unnatural colors, LOTS of cheaters not bannable by some reason, and fked engine and detection system...i just give up

I guess i must buy again bf2...at last there colors are less fked

 

The only ppl bitching are the people that can't do it.

 

wtf! latest patch makes the game almost unplayable! ran butter smooth before now it stutters like crazy! wtf bro!

 

It's just a cheap tactic and clearly wasn't thought to be used the way it is being used right now. Plain glitching, nothing more or less.
Many people would find glitches while playing games. Some simply laugh about them, some report them to the developer and some use them to their own advantage.

 

Would you have them remove the helicopters and jets because it lets people get to high places?

 

Of course not. But why not restrict the chute to be triggered below a certain altitude only?

 

Nope, it's easy..2nd attempt as shown here :banana:

I don't care if people are able to drop onto buildings via chopper/jet as there aren't any on Karkand.

 

Agreed, i don't care if people can get on the buildings with a helicopter or plane, as certain maps, or game modes, don't have them, and yet they can still get on the buildings

I've just taken to destroying the mav under friendlies feet when they are 20 feet in the air

I really hope this gets fixed soon

 

295.51 driver?

Does it happen with 290.53 too?

 

Um no but you'll find maps that have helicopters and jets aren't as badly affected by having some glitching knob sniping from a position that they shouldn't otherwise be able to reach. Levels like Karkand that have no aircraft are effected more heavily by having people sniping from positions that they shouldn't otherwise be able to get too.

 

I've never said WTF so many times in a game. Still enjoy playing, but some of the fun factor is missing.
