Gutshot

Don't mean to be a negative nellie here ladies and gents. Gotta get this off my chest though. Bought this thing today at the strong recommendations of my buds. Played awhile in Multiplayer. I will NEVER, EVER complain about BF3 again. Blops II doesn't even feel like a COD game. I don't know what it "feels" like. Maybe, idk, a 3d version of the standup Street Fighter arcade game from years past? A bad cartoon? True, it's hit detection is good. But, wow, that's it. What is with the cartoon graphics? I feel like I should be standing with a joystick in my right hand and pressing a fire button with my left, all the while wondering how many quarters I have in my pocket if I don't get enough points to earn my "extra" life. Welcome to the world of standup, truckstop arcade games. Last COD game I played was W@W. Don't remember it being as arcade like as this one is. Oh well, flushed another $60 down the toilet.

I don't fully understand the ins and outs of client side vs serverside, but I read somewhere that it's because of the huge lag compensation time set in Frostbite. Or am I talking out my arse? For me at least, dying around corners, behind cover, and when the guy in front of me has a higher ping, destroys what would otherwise be, the best online fps ever made. If it were a few glitches here and there, I could stand it. But my whole game time with BF3 is a constant "WTF!!! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?" Ah well, life's too short for that.

Am I the only one who has atrocious hit detection problems with this game? I see no fix in this patch for this issue, once again, so I must be. I mean I have problems on servers where I am pinging 20-40. Shoot them point blank with a fully automatic weapon and they don't die. Intead they pop me with a Glock 17 9mm, lol, and I am dead before I hit the floor. Or, I come around the corner and before we see each other, I am dead. And of course there is the famous "die behind cover". Does EA/Dice actually think they have a chance at beating COD sales figures with gameplay issues like these? Instead of balancing weapons, how about a good old fashioned core gameplay mechanic tweak? Glad I am having more fun playing Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, because BF3 just blows, really.

Oh yes, I would never forget about them. Definitely excellent.

You know what really sucks for me? I never even tried the Twinkies with the chocolate filling. I may have missed out forever. :cry: Next on the health nazi's list of destruction: Oreos. If that happens, I may leave America and move to Sweden. I heard they really enjoy coffee and a good slab of cake in Sweden. A people who really know the meaning of "soul food".

Oops. Well, I did say "a piggy", not "Piggy". But, yeah. :brownbag:

Twinkies, cupkakes, ding dongs, etc... are more than simple snack food. THEY ARE PART OF LIFE! It's like losing, say, pizza or burgers. They are better than health food, they are food for your very soul. Damned health nazi's are the original reason they are in grave danger. Moderation is the key to them not fattening you up like a piggy. Personally though, I'll miss the fruit pies the most.

Holy shit. A few rules anybody? Meh, kiddie game anywho. Gotta keep them kiddies towing the line.

I remember listening to ibleed's old Crossfire gamer's webcast when they talked with one of the devs (think it was Joker or Space Pig, don't remember which), but they discussed PB as not such a viable option due to it being extremely expensive. Might be hard for an up and coming dev team to afford such a luxury. Would love to see it in the game though.

I'm always too late on alpha keys. Dam.

I wouldn't try it if they offered me cash to try it, lol.

Wait! You mean we got screwed on an Activision COD game? How can this happen? Oh, wait.....that's right......old hat by now. The sooner PC gamers forget about the very overhyped and extremely overrated COD series, the better. Then Craptivision can move on and fully cater to their beloved console market, and not bother with the bothersome PC market. And good devs will maybe get some love from PC gamers.

Unbelievable. After hurling that steaming pile of turd known as MoH 2010 at us, you'd think they'd try and court all the platforms. Maybe they're ashamed of this one also? Maybe they are banking on Xbox 360 gamer's low standards? Not going to spend a dime on any new MoH unless I can try it first. Looks like a year with Blops II and BF3 are in order. At least with Blops II, I know it's going to be a consolized COD game. Nothing more, nothing less. As far as this MoH goes, who knows how terrible it will be...... Boring weapons and maps again? Absolutely not fun at all? Terrible support? The sky is the limit with EA.

Can't wait to play this. Been waiting for this for years. Only news that could be better than this would be an announcement that HL3 has a release date.

You rule MaydaX! Thanks for posting this good stuff.

This looks like it will be some good stuff. I hope it doesn't go the way of RO2 though. PC Gamers say they wish they had this or that, and even when they get the old fashioned goodness, like RO2 and some others have, they still line up and buy the AAA BF3, COD, etc, then bitch about the missing features, lol. I am as guilty as the next guy in this respect. Time to break this trend.

Missing from the list of fixes: FIXED THE GDAMNED HIT DETECTION! And my other favorite: FIXED IT SO YOU DON'T DIE WHEN YOU ARE CLEARLY BEHIND COVER! Never thought I'd say this, but damn, Blops II looks pretty good and interesting.

I am really looking forward to this game and have been for a long time. I need my WWII Pacific Theater fix! I am so sick of modern warfare based games, I could puke. Bring it da f*** on! I will gladly shoot somebody in the face with my M1 Carbine.

PC gaming will do well, and we'll be loved by game companies until the next gen of consoles, then we'll be back to being a "niche market" again. Then once again, games will be "Available on XBOX!!! PLAYSTATION!!!! and .........pc.......... Such is life.

Are you guys being sarcastic, or is it actually true of MW3? I know they have unranked servers, which is fine, but do you know if anyone actually plays unranked MW3? I could actually be interested. Can't believe I said that. But, anything has to be better than BadHitDetection 3.

They still owe me for that last turd that they disgracefully titled "Medal of Honor". This latest one is an automatic pass on. Or an automatic "go to hell", if you prefer.

Been playing this quite a bit this weekend. Just wanted to give my little opinion about it. I am no game tester or expert like some are, just a 43 yr old PC game nut that tries to appreciate quality when he sees it. What really blew me away is, when you play Territory mode, the maps are huge and incredibly detailed. When I say detailed, I mean they are so unbelievable in scope and detail, it feels like you are actually in them. So many places to go and low crawl and shoot from. And the textures in this game are sooooo nice, even with it only being DX9, the game looks better and more realistic than most new DX11 games, yes, including BF3. You gotta play Territory, with realism to fully appreciate this game. Playing the Firefight gametype just doesn't do it justice. I didn't get into this game until recently because I was playing the wrong gametype. I just got done playing some huge outdoor map with 60 people on it. The sounds of combat were so uber-WWII, I was completely immersed in the battle. The map had so many gutted buildings and train cars to move to, machine guns rattling off, tanks blasting their big guns, rifles cracking, artillery booming, soldiers screaming in pain from wounds, there is no shooter game I've played in recent memory that matched the scope and intensity of that battle. And, the game pulled off that intensity without being spammy or nooby in any way, shape or form. It was just sweet! I died lots and lots, but felt no anger at all! Every one of the 9 kills I got felt like I really, really earned them. This is the game I will be playing from now on.

Around 14 or 1500 per day. I always seem to find a good game, day or night. It runs so much better than it did before also. It's good stuff.

Been playing it. It's nice to see some real people on it and not just bots. Gonna fire up another server for it now that the guys in my clan are interested in it.

If they would use PB, I think that it would be taken more seriously. I looked at Crysis 2 as an incomplete and half-assed game because of the retarded and ineffectual anti cheat that it supposedly had.
