qwepir you are very, very correct.
unfortunately correct, though. i was kind of dissappointed, but i hear multiplayer is good when its working and co op should be fun.

Singleplayer in this game is so unexpectedly bad. 20% of the game is quicktime events, another 20% is scripted sequences, 15% is following someone around, 10% is sitting in a turret, and another 10 is cutscenes. And once you actually DO get into a firefight it's just as bad because your allies are useless; your enemies are expert marksmen with an eagle eye that can spot you as soon as you pop your head out of cover; and the incredibly picky locational objectives sometimes result in you having to fight off infinite enemies because you're five feet farther away from your squad leader than you need to be, or your teammates just staring at you like dumbasses because you're standing right in front of the door you are being told to kick open instead of a couple inches back.

Holy stuff that jet level. Biggest letdown ever. You're on the carrier, going through all the pre-flight checks, thinking "oh hell yeah im gonna dogfight like it's 1940-loving-5". Then you launch and find out that you're the co-pilot to the worst fighter pilot in the universe, and have to keep popping flares to prevent his dumb ass and yours from exploding; while also looking around the roosterpit to lock on to and fire missiles at the other planes who happen to have more flares than a loving fireworks factory. You can fire the gun too but there is no point where you can hit anything. THEN you get to this airfield and get to point an excruciatingly slow camera at parked planes, and eventually a helicopter. Good lord that level was awful.

The first 15 or so minutes of Thunder Run were pretty fun though. I wish I could have spent more time cruising over the desert chasing tanks around and storming outposts, but no. After that, you follow the armored column down a highway to a candy-assed engineer that needs you to go get a detonator to blow up a minefield because he's a sissy. In an surprising non-scripted sequence, the allied marines actually manage to kill the enemies shooting at you. In fact, they killed them so well that I didn't even need to sprint back to the engineer. Once the minefield is destroyed, you are forced into the loving machine gun turret where it becomes a goddamn rail shooter except the enemies can't even hit you unless you're pathetic and let one of those sedans bump into you.

And that mission where you're suddenly a Russian, I didn't even know what the forget was going on. Were you trying to take a nuke from the terrorists? Because the guy who stole it nukes France for some reason. I assume they must have been trying to steal the nuke from some other terrorists to give to their own though, because the multiplayer is US vs Russia like every other goddamn modern FPS.


That being said, multiplayer is great. I haven't even played a full match yet but in the 20 minutes I have played I noticed so many improvements from the beta. Most notably the inclusion of the commo rose, the ability to request ammo/health from supports and medics, the fixed damage models, and plenty more. Couldn't find any Back to Karkand servers though, and the weapons from that are unusable in normal multiplayer.

co op should be fun.

Wow people are not really liking it here!

So far I have loved the game.

I'm not going to lie though, the signal player is very scripted but it's still enjoyable to me, on the other hand multiplayer is a blast.

Multiplayer is very different from bad company there is a lot lot less running around in buildings.
I haven't really found a reason to not like the game besides the stuffty menus.

That was so much fun.
Easy way to tank up is to be engie and find tanks and shoot their turrets or wheels.
You get 100 points for disabling the vehicle, 100 for destroying it, and 200 for kills (assuming there's 2 people in the tank)

It's funny seeing noobs with jets crash into pillars and blow da fuk up.
I really love this game

I really enjoyed the singleplayer game so far Qwepir, I can't find that many flaws.  Other than the eagle-eye AI like you said but that happened in every BF3 game during alpha/beta.

The Russian part is taking the nuke from the terrorists, yes.

[Zenith]

Does anybody know how many multiplayer maps there are?

then why are they the other faction in multiplayer instead of the PLA?
or i guess i should say why aren't the PLA a multiplayer faction? The last BF game to have more than two factions was like six years ago

Also, I remade the 2142 Veterans batallion.

Finished Battlefield 3, my only gripe, too many quick time events.
