@Ghost: really i spent 50⬠for the game on release....and then anther 45 (or was it 50⬠for the premium membership. Thats 100⬠aka 130 bucks!
The dirt bikes look cool, but the map it's played on looks huge, which means not very fun for console players.
Sometimes I like it that way, really fast pace can get boring so I play conquest. Although it's probably pretty hard to shoot people from a bike, I'm sure what they showed in the video was just the flatter parts of the maps that are good for that.
I like a good mix in between, but they don't seem to have that on the reg maps. I can only stand metro, bazaar, and crossing for conquest because they are large, but I don't have to run around for five minutes to find someone. Action is almost always there because the flags are somewhat close to each other. But on say Caspian border, it's not that fun unless you have a vehicle. On each team there'll be 4-6 people in vehicles, leaving the other half on foot. I'm not sure about you, but I find it very difficult to find 6 ground units on the big maps.
Anybody noticing a few Christmas noobs? Most of them seem to be from Call of Duty. I was playing and turned the corner in the locker room in Metro. Then this guy panicked knifed me and of course didn't kill me. After that he messaged me and said I was health hacking. Also, a lot of low levels have premium so apparently they bought the premium edition when it was $40 (Price cut for holidays). Most of them just sit under cover and not check behind them as well so I "Merry Christmas" them. "Merry Christmas means you knifed/assassinate them. It's a term a friend uses when he knifes someone. He's a BF3 commentator/youtube.
Oh yeah. They're everywhere. I'm colonel 14 and it drives me insane. They have no idea what they are doing. They waste equipment and are terrible pilots.
The thing that bothers me in Battlefield 3 is the Client-Side Hit Detection. I don't understand why DICE implemented that in Battlefield 3 when Server-Side Hit Detection is clearly the better option.
