Haven’t tried changing my rate of fire on any gun yet but since the weekend i’ve been loving the infrared sight.

Paddy, where are you getting your information regarding upcoming nerfs and boosts to guns though? I’ve been watching a few sites but none that have provided any information on game patches.

lol some difference. Should dig around for some posts around here where no doubt we were all spellbound by the amazing gfx in BF2 at the time 🙂

Sadly I recognise that second comparison as being slightly incorrect, as I’m sure the first part of it is Gulf of Oman (near construction yard I think), rather than Sharqui in the BF3 version. Yes yes, call me a geek…or Paddy (Dave).

edit: Actually is that first bf2 screen from gulf of oman as well? Just a top down of the second area.

Go to work Matt….

Hi Arnor and thanks for the invite 🙂

I’m certainly interested, and agree with your sentiments re the BF spirit in large games. Our experience from earlier titles though is that 16 v 16 games are very difficult to organise, and normally involve pulling in friends from other groups to help boost the sides, with each side scrambling at the last minute to make up numbers. I don’t know if you ever got involved with the Jolt league a few years back for bf42, but it was quite the nightmare for team leaders even just trying to pull together a team of 12 🙂 I do like the idea though, so we’ll check who’d be interested in this internally, then get back to you as soon as possible.

Out of interest have you guys been playing BF games for long?

If you equip some tags and then get stabbed, do you lose the tag?

I haven’t quite managed to get over using the SCAR with the engineer kit, which you seem to play mostly, as I find there’s a significant drop in damage between it and the G36C. I have seen some people completely owning with the G36C though. For both of these guns I prefer the reflex RDS, which is the first scope unlocked, however I’m slowing trying out the IRNV sight and finding it quite useful as well.

For assault I’ve just unlocked the F2000 but finding it difficult to use with it’s standard ironsights, so for a while at least I’m going to continue with the AEK, which is reasonable in close quarters, even without a sight attached. I had been using the UMP with RDS, which hasn’t been as badly nerfed as some suggest, but I do find it hard adapting to it’s damage output after any prolonged period of using the SCAR. This is partly why I’ve reverted to normal assault rifles.

I’ve played less than 5 minutes as support, but I would probably equip a universal gun, like the UMP, until I’ve ranked it up enough to use that sniping cannon I’ve seen Paddy using. I’m proud to say I’ve not once spawned as a sniper, so can’t comment except that I’ve seen some good snipers (Gary goat for example) using te SKS and SV98 quite a lot. They seem to be what kill me a lot as well.
