I'm sorry, but the multiplayer is terribly overrated.
I gave it some time like you guys said I should before judging the game, but I find absolutely no joy or fun in the multiplayer at all. I find it hard to distinguish this game from the CoD franchise. It's just the same, you can just fly some jets around.
The completely random spawn points just kill the experience for me. At least let me spawn at a point where there is no enemy, so I actually have a chance at moving around. Oh wait, I can't choose a point except for the ones we actually own, so a sniper can just basically camp my spawn point as long as he likes.
Maybe I should just go and get myself the first CoD again, since it's pretty much the only online shooter I actually hugely enjoyed. This game is just frustrating, and that's not the point of a game.
Money well spent I guess
Bram, this game is Cod if you play alone.
Only worse.
More frustrating.
Harder.
Downright infuriating.
The only time that Battlefield shines is when you are in a squad, with your mates, with Mics, playing the objective alongside an entire side doing the same, with enough experience to be flying that jet effectively, piloting that chopper with some serious death rain, man handling a tank around and taking out everything you see, while some guy you know from some town near you is running up behind you, repairing it when you get shot.
At moments like that, Cod is a distant memory for me.
But BF3 is not for everyone 👍
Alongside the really stand-out moments, there are of course entire weex of agonising frustration as you can't get into the same lobby as your friends, or the same squad, or they all decided to play Skyrim that evening or whatever.
Team up with Blitz187 and Dzidza, and go do some chopper ownage, or reign supreme in a tank, or even just follow them around and revive when they get taken out.
Being part of the team is Battlefield.
Doing everything yourself, and INEVITABLY dying a lot; is COD.
If you want space and the opportunity to run around and get your head around things, play as Recon, and go to a map edge and spot/snipe.
Plant your spawn beacon somewhere safe, and you will not have to worry about spawning and being killed instantly.
Well, not as much anyway.
This game is designed completely around the concept of FOUR people playing as FOUR different classes, being in radio contact and being organised, like an army should be.
Though in real life, there may be more than FOUR people in your army.
No offence to the army of The Maldives.....
I had a LOL moment last night with Chef, when I was driving a tank over at Wake.
Some guy sees me heading for the bridge so I can join the fight.
He starts running at me with C4 in his hand.
I reverse.
He deploys C4, which lands on the floor, rather than my tanx nose.
In his haste; he detonates it.
He goes flying.
I LOL.
Otherwise, I had a night of 800 pointers.......
👍
Hate Karkand. The highlights were few, apart from getting my sniper on to exact vengeance on a camper sniper opposite A. Oh yea, Canals was good too - had a decent run in a tank there, but in the other maps, I was getting a lot of:
