Topic: Battlefield 3

[Lithium]

There are close-quarters maps like Seinne Crossing, Tehran Highway, Operation Metro, and Grand Bazaar. Also, Damavand Peak is pretty small. There you have to contend with mortar spam.

Operation Firestorm, Caspian Peak, Norsharr Canals, and Kharg Island are quite big and not helped by the 24 player limit on consoles.

for me its the opposite, i love the big maps with vehicles running and shooting each other, and i love how its possible to sneak into capture points because since i suck at this game I have no other choice but to be stealthy etc etc...


what i hate is the fact that this game has a serious camping problem and its amplified in small maps. It's why i couldn't get into Counter-Stike back in the day.

It would be hard to completely eliminate camping when you have teams in attacker and defender roles. On the player side, you would need a well-executed and well-coordinated team offensive to break a camper line. That's pretty hard, especially on the PC version where there is no easy and convenient VoIP solution. Good map design can help alleviate problems with campers. However, DICE isn't quite as good with map design as I would like.

The bazooka loop in 1942 has found a successor.

Battlefield might benefit from something like the recon plane, or better yet the Blackbird killstreak from COD. With something like that people won't be able to hide and therefore camping is less lucrative.

The Recon class in Battlefield 3 has a mid-tier unlock called the MAV (Micro Aerial Vehicle) that you can use to fly high and spot enemies. It's up to your teammates to pay attention to the mini-map and on-screen indicators to take out the dug-in people.


You can also use it to ram and kill people.

That's cool. It sounds like those little remote controlled helicopters from bad company 2. There was a trophy in BFC2 you get by ramming a helicopter (big or small) into an enemy and killing them with it, but I could just never get it right. I've crashed countless air vehicles before I threw in the towel. I hate trophies like that.

It's pretty much the successor to the Bad Company 2 UAV. There's no Hellfire Missile to call down, but spotting can help mortar persons. Sometimes I spend multiple rounds controlling the MAV high in the sky to spot targets with the thermal scope or detect enemies with the motion sensors.

I like that Battlefield is about being a team player, unlike call of duty where every player is just a lone wolf and does whatever.

Says that there is  a issue addressed in the next Battlefield 3 patch: Like, Flashlights will be more life-like and won't blind players at distances.
I came across this report today - http://www.fastmr.com/prod/281080_nintendo_co_ltd_in_toys_and_games_world.aspx.
I'm not familiar the publisher, but it looks pretty focused.  Anybody here know the company?

Battlefield 3 is all time favorite game because this game extreme war and it is in my routine to play this game and i suggest this to my friends and also to my forum friends.

Ah, it's been a while.
Some new behind-the-scenes details on the Bandar Desert map in the upcoming Armored Kill expansion pack.

Ah, it really does look big.
I probably wouldn't be playing the game for this long if it weren't for the group I run and voice chat with. The game is so much more fun working with your squad through Ventrilo or Mumble.
