    Thank you Shiashi!

    So I didn't see the whole End game trailer. Does it indeed include single player content?

    Am I a heathen for never finishing the single player?
    I got to the level where I'm a Russian dude shooting up baddies in the Paris Metro and then I got bored and went to play multiplayer.

    "There is a single-player mode?"

    I think that's the attitude of 90% players since Bad Company.

    Well...considering that about the same fraction of players are just terrible, that doesn't make me feel much better :P

    That trailer's probably just deceptive but Air Superiority actually looks like what Tank Superiority should have been

    That is an excellent play-by-play of me in a jet

    I'm so terrible that I often go out of bounds... I mean how is that even possible?

    I have 1 and 3 down like a champ. I just need to work on 2.

    Is the whole point of that map with the aircraft carrier for the enemy team to sit on the shore and beat the shit out of your landing boats with tanks and blow up your aircraft within seconds of takeoff? Because that doesn't seem very fun.

    The fun factor depends on which team you're on ;)

    fearsomepirate is in a tank: Immediately spotted, two engineers and another tank come to destroy him.
    fearsomepirate spots a tank: Tank drives around uncontested, kills everyone, does so repeatedly, only person to ever lob a rocket in the tank's general direction is fearsomepirate

    Apparently video games are really fucking hard and I'm the only person who understands them.

    I dunno, I never used it until the other night, and I did pretty well with it in Strike at Karkand.

    I actually had a seriously good Rush game earlier. I prefer close games rather than curb-stomps (for either side) and this was the best kind of close game.

    At some points it really seemed like both teams were effectively using cover AND covering the advance of their teammates. I'd see a handful of our guys charge forward, and it wouldn't just be me staying behind looking for enemies popping out of cover. Then we'd charge forward a minute later, with the guys ahead throwing grenades and whatever else to occupy the enemy. But then they'd counter-charge and kill a good number of us and only paddles and reflexes would keep it from being a total rout.

    Not a single stage was won with more than 20 tickets remaining.

    And the best part? It was a server that had multiple game types on rotation so I had similarly good experiences with Tank Superiority, TDM, Gungame and Conquest.

    And thats how an intended 30min play ended up lasting nearly 2 hours.

    What server was this?

  • MulletudeMulletude Registered User regular
    Those are the best kinds of BF3 times.

    I love Rush games that are seriously contested to the last ticket on every pair of MCOMS. It's stressful but great fun.

    FWIW, I have been having a good time playing on this reddit server: Pure Battlefield. They also have a sub-reddit: http://purebattlefield.org

    The server is almost always full, and it's frequented by good players. There are some downsides, like natural ticket counts, Armored Kill maps in the rotation, and the balance plugin is pretty shitty. Overall, its a good time, though.

    So I kind of hope that in BF4 you can slap mods on your pistols the way you can do it with your main guns in BF3

    Cause the way they handle pistols in BF3 is kind of dumb

    Hey man, sorry I bailed last night. I lost my internet connection and I got pissed so I went out and had some drinks.

    No worries, I was near the end of my night anyways. I'm hopping on now for an hour or two.

    It's mandatory. DICE needs to start including them in the premium drops. :)

    Nah, there's plenty of vanilla servers around, and it's pretty easy to filter them in battlelog.

    They have a KS to save the Doraeleus and Associates, their other project. Very similar humor. Neebs is voiced the same guy who does the Noob.

    Also, they have a Minecraft project named Mob Squad on the way. They do a lot of short films too.

    Hey! I have a job! Two jobs! And a girlfrie.....

    Most of my levels are from strategically abusing the double xp weekends. Trying to get the most medals as possible during that time to then get 20k xp instead of just 10k. Shit, that makes it worse, doesn't it?

    @minirhyder Also check this interview with the crew. I love the second phone call they got.

    Here is the link: blogtalkradio.com/militarygamer/2012/12/16/usmg-radio

    The theme they have for BFF is wonderful. The guy who plays the Recon composed it.
