Oh well BF3 is not much fun most of the time anyways; so many cheaters its hard to get a fair round in.
NOP
People talk A LOT about bad experiences with BF3 or other online games in general, maybe the experience isn't bad because of the game, but because of how you act to other people on these servers. People don't want to play with dicks and get kicked. Granted yes, there are a few bad eggs who own servers, but for the most part most of the servers are great. But I see A LOT more people who join servers to cheat/hack/troll and get kicked then go and complain somewhere on how bad such and such server is or the game itself.
And most of the guns aren't better. A lot of players use the starter guns as their main gun. They aren't bad. It's just you. I'd say most the guns are more balanced than the guns in COD will ever be.
That was it for me. I'm done with EA.
I played quite a bit of BF3 right when it came out. At one point though, I picked up a dead guy's kit and he had a thermal scope which shows all enemy players as bright yellow. I racked up so many kills with that gun (until it ran out of ammo) it was stupid. It wasn't really fun because it became so easy to kill anyone from across the map without trying. But it also made the rest of the game less fun knowing that I could be getting twice the kills if I just used that scope. I had to stop playing the game at that point. So I really only got about 3 weeks or so of enjoyment out of BF3.
You said it, it doesn't make much less sense than this.
Still holding out for the Steam version or at least a non-Origin version. If I can't have either option down the line, BF3 will just have to be a game I miss out on.
All the while only offering your only crappy service as the discounted game version. Well played EA. Well played...
I remember when the FAMAS had no recoil, when the AN94 was ridiculously overpowered, and when IRNV ruled every map. New players have to unlock missiles and flares for jets, defibs for medics, secondary weapons for APCs, and more. It's not the player that has a balance problem, it's the game with its flawed unlock-everything design.
Origin in its current state is useless. It feels like an STD, and treats its customers like revenue streams.
