Allow me to rant about the condition of Battlefield 3's multiplayer.

i don't know about you, but i just use the squad chat. Who the forget plays a triple A shooter competitively anyway, you might as well play hard core freddy fish.

squad chat is too slow. and plenty of clans do. the battlefield series has always been great fun to play competitively because it's such a great team based game (although i'd say 3 has really fallen away from that).

removing the inbuilt voice comms was a terrible idea.

define "triple A shooter" because that seems like a very loose term that is probably used very incorrectly these days.

Battlefield looks like Call of Duty with Battlefield's class system. I would rather stick with the simple gameplay of 1942, rather than running around unlocking guns and playing dress up while bragging about on a facebook like thing on a trogan like steam clone.

Games like call of duty, battlefield, halo, ect. basically these are the shooters that, if they were movies, would be considered bug budget blockbusters. They usually have more casual gameplay and a younger audience, which is why most competitive play stays in games like CS and Quake.

that's the biggest load of crap i've ever heard

you're saying call of duty doesn't have competitive play? WHAT??

Whatever boltster is complaining about must be exclusive to PC issues, as on the Xbox 360 version, there usually is a lot of in-game chatter going on through VoIP.

Not outside of MLG stuff, and even that is dying out.  Keep in mind that Counter-Strike 1.6 is still played competitively at the moment, and is just starting to finally die out because of CS:GO.

that's because i don't count MLG as the be all and end all of competitive play

what a stupid thing to say

i've never had issues with hackers on the xbox version.

You made me laugh.

Isn't the objective to win the game? Now I see why everyone on my team is complete idiots.
