battlefield 3

Just got given a copy. Not feeling multiplayer at all. Bare recoil on the guns and it doesn't show if bullets are hitting the person

It does bossman, you clearly ain't hitting them. Little white X comes up.

Switch to single fire/burst, if you're on console it's down on the D-pad. Improves your accuracy and help you get used to the recoil of the weapons. I can't stress how important it is to get used to the guns. Use your cover wisely, if you find you get killed a lot, it's because you're not minimizing your visibility enough.

I might have to write a VIP2 BF3 tutorial, because I see how certain CoD players take to BF3 and the two games are completely different.

People like to be good at games that they play instantly, and the truth is most people are dead at games when they first play them.

A good tactic to get used to handling recoil is to try using the snipers, the SVD Dragunov and the MK11 with no scope. They kick like a pair of mules, but if you get used to correcting your aim after each shot, you'll find you're putting more bullets on your target after a while. Take a good couple of games, so be prepared to learn.

Also KNOW YOUR CLASSES! It's so frustrating when you have to jump or shoot at a support class team-mate to get ammo. Bare CoD selfishness <_<

If you want to get your kits up quickly, know which game modes are best for what. Conquest is all about the engineer, so use TDM to level your Assault class/shotgun levelling and your Recon kit. Take the scope off the semi-auto snipers like I said, or put a 3.4x/4x scope on if you must zoom in.

From what I know from the beta, support is a rush defense class, you support your snipers and your machine-gunners with ammo, and defend from a TACTICAL position -i.e in front of, or to the sides of your objectives, prone, bi-pod etc. The M249 and the PKP Pechenev are monstrous at close to medium ranges and with controlled fire can take people down at distance. They come into their own once you unlock the extended mags.

Recon is great for rush attackers if you know how to snipe aggresively, defenders usually have camping rights as they have unlimited respawns, so it helps to get up to the objectives quickly and pick off/suppress the first couple of defenders you see. Hanging at the back of the map is only justified if you are defending and you have sight of the objectives.

Assault = rush attacker. If you understand how to play the class properly, you're laughing. The later weapons like the AEK and the F2000 are serious, and the M320 grenade launcher is brilliant. The smoke is ideal for creating cover for an M-Com plant, every game I used to cap at least 3 thanks to smoke.

Engineers are anti-vehicle/air/building as well as repair and scouts, so they fit into most.

Take the game slowly and it will be very rewarding, I can't wait to play the full thing. Will write up a proper guide with some tactics once I get used to it, I'm speaking from experience on Metro and some Youtube observations :lol:

Only got to play it for about an hour before work but it seems alright so far. Dunno how long the campaign is though becasue the game is two discs... One for campaign and one for online...?

I don't think it will top COD though in any element. On or offline.

Other disc is for graphics and texturing ain't it ?

Don't flop Revs you was ODT for Bad Conpany

Them Rush games were epic

nah don't worry i'm not abandoning the game :lol:

When it was working last night, it was fucking epic. A lot of the levels are amazing.

When attacking, bounding down cliff faces rushing the enemy is sick.

Like wise on the same cliff face, when defending it is nuts when you have your back against a rock and you pick off attackers as they run past.

i unlocked that defusing robot yesterday. Its fucking hard to drive.

I can fly decent now but keep clipping my tail/wings on random shit.

Playing with randoms was pretty good. I got a good squad so stayed in the same room, think we won 9/10. its great that squad leaders can set objectives/focus points, even better when your squad actually listen, barely lost a flag on CQ.

Elementalism good post. Are you getting it for pc or console?
