Well, it's meant to be used in dark places...

Well yeah but on dark places you can't see through it. It has been like that since I don't know five updates or more ago
 
So they nerfed it too much?

I remember it being so overpowered that it was possible to see across the maps with it. Never used it much then, and haven't used it since the beginning of the game.
 
It's common to nerf something hard when it's overpowered. That way people stop using it entirely and you can work on bringing back up to usefulness. Better to overnerf than undernerf.

DICE needs to fix a whole load of issues. Too bad they're too busy trying to sell you the Premium kit to complete the full-price game that you bought 💡

Yep waaay too much.

You should be able to use it in metro or that something highway map. But it is even pointless there.

It isn't the only thing they nurfed to the point to being almost as unrealistic as COD's weapons physics.

Me and one of the other guys had a discussion about this before about the frag rounds and RPGs.

But there are major issues with people being able to take advantage of the prone.

Like the guys that glitch themselves on objects and unless you throw a grenade at them they are not going to die. Which once again is complete BULL. And people get mad and send me hate mail when they are glitching and i sit in the base with a ammo pack and my MAVs and kill people.

I am not going to run out and die when there is nothing I can do because the person you are getting killed by is camping in a glitch

It works exactly like it is supposed to; it has limited range (just like real helmet mounted IR) and definitely works on dark maps. It doesn't work when someone pops smoke, as one would expect.

I used the IRNV on the PKP for ages and it worked brilliantly; its lack of range was a reminder that one shouldn't be trying to outgun guys from 200m away and the clarity of vision close range gave you a huge target to hit.

Will add you tonight :-)

@Tzun great match yesterday, two of us made a great difference in our team :-). I will recharge my BT for tonight so we can talk :-)
 
In case you haven't see in, here is some 'capture the flag' gameplay released by battlefield today.


And it's taken me over a year, but it's my 200th post! :D

Yes good! It was fun. But the grenade rape. We sneaked past them well.

Yes, we did sneak pass them, but we only needed one more objective based player to turn things around. Unfortunately I had a small lag problem, but tried to keep up.

I hate it when Dice make all those look like a movie and so awesome but in the real world, its never like that.
 
Probably won't buy End Game. I'm horrible in Jets, so Air Superiority won't be for me.(And let's face it, it's going to be full of jet ramming.) Capture the lag looks a bit average and the fact that there won't be any new weapons is a bit disappointing.

Make that two.

I wish they would just stick to making more maps for Rush and CQ and keep away from all these silly modes that aren't what BF built it's name on, and, don't translate well onto console (AK maps typically being too big for 24 players for example).
 
I'm trying to get all my guns mastered, so far I have 39 but damn this is going to take a long time, specially the sniper rifles.
 
Am I the only one looking forward to CTF?

I love that game mode in other games.

Count me in! Its nice to have a mode where you must PTFO to win. In CQ there is alot of people just sniping around. It will be filled with action (hopefully) i wish they made more maps just for Rush.

Can't help but agree there. I don't really use the bolt action rifles all that much because I prefer to be an aggressive recon, but:

L96: 276 kills, 11h22m, 0.4kpm
M98B: 183, 5h17m, 0.58
JNG-90: 108, 3h46, 0.48
SV98: 106, 3h32, 0.5
M40A5: 103, 3h29, 0.49.

On the other hand, the lowest kpm I have with the semi auto rifles is 0.73... I had no idea my L96 was that low but then I was using it all the time for a while to complete that assignment with it.

I have mastery with the L96 and JNG, With the M40A5 on 491. I left the SV90 last because its probably my favourite bolt action for aggressive play. Mostly in part to its superior hipfire. The M98B is probably my least favourite weapon in game but I'm at about 200 kills with that so should master that soon enough. Bare in mind all of these BA kills are done playing aggressively. I'm not to keen on sniping (except for semi auto battle rifle play) but its not as painful as when I first thought to set out to do it.

How long did it take to do the L96 and JNG? I never use the bolt actions when playing aggressively because, well, the DMRs are far better at it. Apart from the M98B, which is my go-to 'reach out and murdulate someone' rifle, I've only really used the bolt actions to get stars and complete achievements. I guess if/when I've mastered the semi autos (not something I'm actually aiming to do, mind you) I'll start on the bolts but until then I just can't be bothered with them.
 
Sorry to be that random guy but I absolutely love the scoped crossbow. It made my day yesterday.

I can't really agree. There will be rush/conquest modes on new maps and I don't think jet ramming is a viable option to have fun or score any points, besides it is easy to dodge people like that.

Armored Kill is really great experience on Conquest Armored Shield, at least 20 people and around 200/300% (default ticket count on AK maps is way too small for anything else than rushing as many flags as you can and then game finishes) and no stupid rules like "no stinger". I have usually a lot of fun there and a lot of tactics (flanking on quads, dropping out of little birds etc) is involved in close fought battles.

Overall I have to say Premium was a great investment, a lot of diversity of DLC packs, a lot of new features (vehicles/guns/game modes) and way too much time spent on a video game. :)

Still 15 months after release BF3 is still the best shooter I ever played. Just take a look at recent free betas like Dust514 or Crysis 3 and see they don't even come close to BF3.

Virtual high five to DICE for that great game.

Oh oh, we're comparing sniper rifles are we? :p

M98B: 2,100 kills, 36 hrs, 0.95 kpm
L96: 1,459 kills, 31 hrs, 0.78 kpm
M40A5: 722 kills, 11 hrs, 1.04 kpm
SKS: 397 kills, 4 hrs, 1.46 kpm
SV98: 285 kills, 8 hrs, 0.59 kpm

Yeah, im a sucker for bolt-action rifles. :dopey:
 
I've never used the bolt-action rifles "properly". I've always used them with iron sights/red dot sights and moved around with them.
 
M98B: 306 kills, 7 hours, 0.71 KPM.
And then things start to get bad.......:scared:
SV98: 60 kills, 2 hours, 0.43 KPM.
M40A5: 29 kills, 53 minutes, 0.54 KPM.
JNG-90: 25 kills, 34 minutes, 0.73 KPM.
L96: 4 Kills, 5 minutes, 0.81 KPM.

I know you're all jealous. :p
