I don't know about that mate, this shows how effective a flash suppressor really can be if you ignore the horrible weapon handling.

Other news, a pretty accurate depiction of the first stage of Metro.

Fuck yeah Bush People for life.

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2011-10-03, 05:32

Lol, I was doing the bush for a bit.

After a while I just said screw it since NO ONE was trying to cap and just farm kills, and I was getting killed by better bush campers then I... stupid AU ping. 3 games in a row where I capped most the points because I just charged in like a lunatic spraying and praying, prone, arm, followed by more spray and pray and the odd grenade. It was the first times I ever actually saw the end game part of metro outside the subway. Sure I had a 7-22 K/D ratio but by god jim, I dragged my way kicking and screaming into that win.

PS, how did you guys add custom avatars to Origin on the 'Suki platoon?

Through Origin? You can't. Through Battlelog? You sign up for a Gravatar-try 'edit your profile' in the Battlelog.

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2011-10-03, 06:01

Ic Ic... well lets see how that goes. Who accepts the applications for the platoon?

"Yes, set up a Gravitar Account and link the email address you use from that to your BF3 profile, says Misaka as Misaka quickly nods."

Me. Whenever I see them

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2011-10-03, 06:43

coolies. Well if someone needs a moving distraction to draw fire hit me up... however it is that is done without being on a friends list.

edit: Is Caspian Border disabled or something?

After some closed testing they disabled it, yeah. I was lucky enough to play there

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2011-10-03, 07:02

Well that's kinda lame. Metro doesn't seem anywhere near as fun.

edit: Got in a few more games, had some 'sensible' rounds. Well it seemed sensible to me. Unlocked the defib. Shotgun rez medic is pretty fun to play. Got some decent results, hell even ended in a positive K/D ratio for once. Just trundle along behind people toss out med-kits, shotgun leftovers and rez. Kinda wish people would hang closer to each other (not too close!) though rather then everyone doing their best impressions of keep-away.

Squads are only available on battlelog

GG EA/DICE.

It almost like they don't want people to buy their game...

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2011-10-03, 10:10

That link doesn't work.

So the only way to get all your friends on a server is to manually drag them in??

Drake · 2011-10-03, 10:22

Strange re-pasted link so should work now.

No idea how it will work on PC but at least on the xbox you can set a squad up in-game before you join a server however it doesn't work in the beta with usually only 1 of your friends making it into your squad with the rest either left on their own or on the opposite team entirely.

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2011-10-03, 10:56

Wow, that sucks.

Honestly don't know why they have this battlelog thing, it's really really irritating and the game takes ages to load up. Just wish you could do everything in game like every other game. I wouldn't say limiting squad management to battlelog is a deal breaker to me. The entire thing would be, because I think it's stupidly redundant. The squad thing, if it worked (I can accept buggy mechanics in a beta) is only a minor part to me.

It's just a fail version of battlenet at the moment. The prevention of LAN, and all that pretty much means it's going to always require a verified connection to play (until someone cracks it... I give it a week, if that). When I'm in game it's fun I really enjoy it, but when I'm out of it (you can't even adjust the games settings without being in a match, which hopefully wont be the case come release) it kind of hinders my urge to buy it. maybe i'll get used to it. I know it would be FAAAAAAAR less annoying if the game opened up straight away rather then taking like 30 seconds or whatever.

2 things and I'd buy the game no questions asked 1) no battlelog 2) put it on Steam. As it is, I'm hesitant, no not ruling it out completely I'll give it a chance - which is disappointing since I was actually looking forward to a modern-fps-game for once. (dismissing all the bugs)

I honestly don't know how they are thinking. My mate and I tried the squad thing on battlelog and while we joined as a party, it didn't put us in the same squad, just on the same team. No worries, we thought, we can switch in-game... NOPE. While you can leave the squad, it auto-selects one for you.

I mean... BF2 is 6 years old. Surely the technology isn't "too advanced" to be put into BF3. Hell, it worked in BC2, though the system was worse.

WTF DICE... I know you worked hard on this, and it's a really fun game, but leaving out basic things that works in old games makes me disappointed. Mind, I'm seeing this in a lot of modern games. Leaving out basic things that existed in old games... I don't want to jump on the nostalgia train, but it's like they are trying to streamline everything to appeal to the new generation who can't figure out how to do the most basic things.

EDIT: Ok, first ragequit due to bugs. Not only did someone have one-shot M416, I couldn't kill one guy. M249, grenades, pistol, everything in his face... not even a hit detection. Seriously hope it's just because it's beta.

Drake · 2011-10-03, 16:59

They probably figure that if the game is accessible more people will buy it and thus more profit.

I love the commander role in BF2 but not everyone could do it which is probably why its been taken out, same goes for a proper squad leader role.

You cant really call the current iteration of squad leader a proper role since you have absolutely no means of directing a squad or coordinating with other squads.

I'm in two minds as to weather I'm even going to buy it now if I'm honest.

Well, that was educational. It seems I'll have to do some more research.

I know exactly what you're talking about. Now, while it's not quite what you're referring to, I would like to hold up as example bots. Apparently, many recent games seem to think them unnecessary... and those that don't (CoD: Black Ops comes to mind as a current example) haven't even bothered to try and approach the degree of 'tuneability' Rare had down in Perfect Dark two console generations ago. What's the holdup?

I also wish I could simply put the medkit away again after I accidentally pulled it out.

Yeah I saw this, this morning and the feelings of rage over flowed upon the EA forums.

I don't have the link on me but there was a quick release from one of the developers saying that they were listening to the community and planning on putting it back in.

Then in another breath on another forum I recall reading two blokes having a discussion that in the Beta the squad menu was bugged and that you are supposed to be able to join and leave any squad and join another of your choice.

I recall even seeing a screen cap of a BF3 Beta loading screen with a hint telling you how to swap between squads.

I'm sure one way or another we'll have the tried and true squad system implemented upon release.

Thankfully.
