That's the only reason i'm getting this game. If it weren't for my clanmates, i'd have skipped it. ;)
Same issues as always, i'd be in Site A, defending the base tooth and nail, everyone else is in site B because they kept dying in A. Then they shift their attack on B, everyone's suddendly crowding A. Once B is down and they focus on A, i'm suddenly by myself again >:( The only ones that stuck with me are my clan mates. The rapport we've had playing together in other FPS games carried over and regularly having people you can count on to watch your back really helps.
Too bad the requirements are a bit high. Many of my clanmates wouldn't be able to join. These are the same guys that will hold fire and stay perfectly still to let a tank pass when ordered to (Try doing that with 12 people), or willing to settle for 5kills for an entire game if it meant defending a critical junction. We're actually pooling together parts to get some of the members upgraded. People that can shoot straight are a dime a dozen, people that sticks to a battleplan and keep their squad from getting killed, one in fifty.
TMRNetShark:
That's the problem with Rush on Metro... it was you either provided covering fire for someone to hit objective... or you just got killed.
During the entire Beta, I think I got at least 30-40 M-com sites bombed (and many more armed but my teammates didn't do shit when I died). It's way easier to obviously have your enemy arm it, kill them, and then disarm it than just defending.

Gosh, I realllllly hate bumping this but I obviously don't want to make a new thread. :P
Ultimate Battlefield 3 Simulator
I think Ace will appreciate this latest tyranny by EA:
EA Norway accused of weeding out people who might give Battlefield 3 a bad score.
So if you answered the questionarie and EA didn't like the results... they would either say "Sorry, no review copy for you!" OR "Pick a different person."
God knows if IGN is purely based on just publishing companies giving money to IGN to give a good score. :P

I thought that was acceptable practice after Apple did it with the iPad. They refused to give samples to tech reviewers that might give the it a bad review. I pointed it out before and was told that there was nothing wrong or unethical about it.

That's called media-biased to get good sales. Battlefield 3 already looks like it's going to get good scores, so why did they do it?

Not letting Gamer.no reviewing the game would be like shooting themselves in a foot. Gamer.no is a very reputable games magazine with probably the best game reviewers in Norway. They keep a strict professionalism in journalism, but their reviewers have their blogs where they can explain why they didn't review a game.
If the developers don't think that the game will sell well on their own merit, then I feel pity for them.
