Lasy night was a lot of fun. Minty, SophiD, Wistfane and I where in a squad, and Bedizen was kicking aroudn too somewhere I think.

That is how the game is supposed to be played

In my opinion the only maps worth playing are the Back To Karkand expansion maps. All the vanilla maps are more or less just death match arenas.

The game is not all bad it is very disappointing and certainly nothing like bf2/2142.

...and the contrast in the game is fucking horrible. This is the first game where I try to squint my eyes to see better in to the shadows.

Pro tip, even if you can run it all the way up on ultra, don't. With the hit detection client side, your machine doing less work is an advantage. It doesn't look much different on low anyway. Just a bit jaggier.


What I find funny is they (supposedly) didn't want to split the playerbase by separating the maps ala BC2 and Vietnam , but unless you pre-ordered or spend stupid money, they split the game up anyway. I didn't pre order, now I feel like I'm playing half a game sometimes.

I'm really split about B2K, i want to love it, but i just can't

Wake is ruined by the f-35's inadaqaucies in dog fighting leaving the russians with near total air superiority, add in chopper spam for added insult.

Sharqi is just a helicopter love in with no way to escape it, i expect i'll like it without the helicopters.

Oman is again ruined by the f-35's inadaqaucies, nearly every round iv'e played ends with the US stuck on the ship being gunned down in the ocean.

In fact Karkand is the only one of the 4 i can sometimes enjoy, but by god the spam can be horrendous, i'd argue it's worse than bazzar and metro in some cases simply because the ammount of destruction you can cause, goes hand in hand with the good old tactic of running around with the RPG out and being used as the primary, add in tanks to the mix and give them motion sensors and it quickly becomes a game of killing people you havent seen through a wall.

and while i was guilty of it just to see what it was like, the MAV elevator means that half your team or enemy team are sitting on some roof not playing the game but playing their K/D.

GOD DAMN IT SOMEONE STOP MY MOANING!

I think i can sum it up now though.

BF3 is either absolutly amazing or it's a steaming pile of shite, there is litterally no grey area.
