Well, slap a dress on me and call me Sally! :lol: I've been using the A-91 and as I finally unlock the MTAR, I start getting comfortable with the A-91. Grrr!
 
Got promoted today!!! Not really a big achievement. Level 8 Col. Was playing against G SQUAD in SQDM. These guys were good, but there was something fishy going on because (this match was on Donya Forrest BTW) I turn around a corner leading and there they are, in a group fighting. One other teammate spawned and I had at it! Lifted my Pecheneg and pulled on the trigger. Appearantly I was shooting turds, cuz nothing happened to them. (Yes, Im sure I hit them as blood was coming out from the players.) I get killed by an enemy squad and get rewarded with Suppression assist. Great!!! (Not)

It was just frustration after that. I mean, that was not a good comeback to BF3 for me.
 
I don't know. I may be the only one who feels like this, but taking months off from playing BF3, I'm back enjoying this game even if I'm playing by myself.

Most of my PSN friends, about 88% of them have Black Ops II, including myself. After owning that game and playing with my friends and hear them glorify CoD, the game gets bland to me easy. All they play is CoD. It's like their life.

Anywho, I'm not an avid CoD player, but most times I can go into a hardcore team deathmatch and pretty much go Rambo on them. It's almost like their isn't any skill to the game. Just who see who first and who got the better connection.

BF3 on the other hand, seems like it requires a very high amount of concentration and skill. It's taken me 3 days to get back used to BF3 after playing CoD. It's also more rewarding to me.

Sorry about the long rambling post..

Battlefield 3 is a hundred times more rewarding unless you like playing against 10 year olds that camp. BF3 you can squad up and take control of a server if you wanted, and reward yourself whilst playing it.

Yep. Plus there is no comparison between the two titles in the realism factor. Got to love the little kids that say COD is better... My instant reply is BF has bullet drop... Nuff said haha

That happens and lot act haha. Then when they do buy BF they don't know how to aim at me in a tank vs tank battle so they use "i can't aim shells" (aka guided shells) hahaha

They're to different games, COD is a fast paced arena style FPS whereas BF is a Team based tactical shooter. Even though personally i rather BF I wouldn't say neither one is better than the other as they do different things and appeal to different people. People need to realise the only reason these two franchises are "rivals" is that they happen to be the most popular multiplatform FPS games available.

Edit - plus, Neither come come close to being realistic, BF being a bit more tactical and slow paced probably edges it but neither set out to be realistic. BF focuses on immersion, Satisfying gunplay and vehicular combat where COD relies on simple, non stop and over the top infantry action to attract players.

I tell my friends that CoD has turned them into zombies, and they don't believe it. I ask them to try different shooters, they can't. Even had one tell me that BF3 doesn't like her, and another said she didn't like the beta.. o_0. I even have some friends, that Black Ops II is the only game they play. Be on it 24/7.

I love shooting people in the face as much as the next guy, but if you can shoot people on CoD, you can shoot people in.other games.

Being on a battlefield, helping change the tide of a battle drew me in to BF3. CoD, is just.. eh, you fill in the blank.

Yeah i agree. A lot of my friends have it and I got Black Ops 2 too (got it for free haha) but they play it for zombies mostly then play BF for everything else. I like a couple game modes in COD like One in the Chamber but besides that I really don't care for it.
I feel like Scavenger in BF3 is better than One in the Chamber. But yeah both not perfect but if I had to choose I would choose the one closer to the realism factor which is BF3.

Hahahaha that's funny.

Yeah a few people I talked to had such a bad impression with the lag fest which was the BF3 beta that they didn't even try BF3 after they fixed the problems with all of the lag. So when they say everything is laggy on BF3 they had no idea they fixed that.

But yeah.

What I am wondering is if the mic lag that happens once in a while on PS3 exists on the PC. Can anyone answer that
 
I am a semi-kinda-serious COD (specifically BOII), and I love BF3. I just started, really. My only prior experience with the franchise was 2142 beta (which was awesome), and Bad Company 2 (360) which never really did it for me, so I dropped it before I really got going, sadly.

Interesting, the first day I came over to the game I was dominating, but after a few days I started to get my ass kicked regularly. Odd.

Anyway, my name on Origin/BF3 is Cobra-Viper.
 
I got a quad kill with a grenade in Scrapmetal domination. :D

Also, the MK3A1 is AMAZING with a holo sight (US), extended mag, and slug rounds.

Edit: I think I just got a new highest score, 121-29. :D On Scrapmetal using the M240B.

CODs maps are far too small to need to worry about bullet drop. Even if there was bullet drop the bullet wouldn't travel enough for it to matter.

How someone manages a score like that on that map I will never know. That map is hectic.
 
Ok, this is strange, my game is showing that I'm rank 34 - 26,056/50,000; yet, I'm knowing I'm at rank 35, Battlelog knows I'm at rank 35, and the two BF3 apps on my phone knows I'm at rank 35. What gives? Has the server been acting screwy?
 
Mine is always slow as well. Don't worry it will catch up with some more play time. Every time I rank up it's behind for a bit.
 
Anyone here hunting the platinum trophy?

I will be doing the co-op trophies, or part of them, with a friend tonight but still need to get trough the co-op on hard afterwards. Any takers?

My gametime is CET evenings from 20:30CET to about 01:00CET.
 
I was thinking... you know what would be cool? The ability to hold someone with a knife next to their throat "hostage". That would be so useful in so many situations in BF3....

I can help you out if you still need it. It's been a while since I've done co-op but I've played through them way too much to have any trouble with them.

Of course, I've never played anything other than GT5 on my GTP_ account, so I don't even know if the online pass would work for that account. If not, I'd just have to clear a spot on my main account.
