battlefield 3

[rtil]

don't use the quickmatch, use the server browser http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/servers/

[naturally]

they should just sell it for full price on steam and sell it $10 cheaper on origin

[Sinitron]

it won't let me pick servers to join by myself

^ server browser doesn't work

[rtil]

that sucks. it works for me.. and quickmatch almost never does.

[rtil]

gonna start the campaign tonight, can't wait

an EA rep at reddit actually passed this on to DICE, i hope they fix it honestly, as well as the chat and post-death screen where you can't do anything

I went to Target and Walmart today, this game sold like hotcakes with icing from the proverbial vagina of Athena.

Today I was playing multiplayer and was owning with a shot gun. I was at a 40some kill streak, at which point I realized I was glitched out and couldn't actually die. So I just ran around and let people knife me and then eventually committed suicide, which seemed to fix it. I then proceeded to die 5 times with no kills then the game ended. Final score was around 49 kills and 12 deaths.

good times

[Sinitron]

wtf why did you kill yourself idiot you should have griefed the shit out of everyone hardcore the whole game

No I would have just gotten banned. I already got flagged by a few people and my 'reputation' went down a bit lol

Well I play it on 360, since my PC laptop can't handle it except on lower settings.. and fuck that. Every gamer account has a rating, and people can flag you for various kinds of things, from abusing glitches to just being a dick

So it is a karma system. Just sounds so new to me, since I don't own an Xbox 360.

Yeah I guess, except you can't grant it, you can only take it away

wow that sounds really gay "hey here's a broken game if something bad happens we punish you for playing it"

this

if their game is exploitable the onus is on them to fix those exploits, not punish those who (unintentionally) use them

Fine fine, I get it.

back to karkand came out today, all the maps are amazing except for gulf of oman which is way too spawncampy. also there's a ton of new unlockable weapons and playable vehicles including a construction vehicle you can run people over in

[Sinitron]

fuck unlocks

when are they getting rid of origin and battlelog so the game is actually accessible without tons of annoying shit to go through first

i want to fly a gunship and cram rockets down peoples' throats

[rtil]

without unlocks the game wouldn't have as much replay value imo, i like unlocking new equipment and weapons

although unlocking stuff for jets can be difficult because you start without ir flares and can get shot down extremely easily

also they will never get rid of origin and battlelog

battlelog isn't really that bad though. however, everything that is in battlelog could be in the game instead

[Sinitron]

however, everything that is in battlelog could be in the game instead

and that is exactly why it is redundant, annoying shit and why bc2 is more accessible

game longevity comes from not relying on special drm features or whatever, just look at counter-strike which is easy to pirate and just about anyone can play it, you won't see bf3 or mw3 ten years from now unless they pull their shit from their ass and start making accessible and worthwhile games again

unlocks are also really annoying because grinding to unlock the next gay shit doesn't make a game good, actual engaging gameplay and variety does (see: starcraft)

that being said, running around playing carmageddon in bf3 with that loader would be pretty hardcore
