Battlefield 3
newy:
I don't know if it's because of my 3 week absence (since the patch), or that I have played only on servers with 32 players recently but the AA tank's rockets are pretty useless against any air unit, either they miss due to flare/chaff (well, nothing new) or they simply explode mid-air. I get the feeling all air units have it easier to get away from the rockets. Best chance with AA tank is to use the gatling...
Engi's repair tool: When I read the notes I was okay with the nerf but now... Can't repair AA tank in one go... stupid.
Tank vulnerability: When I read the notes, cool but now... Only two shots and boom? It sounds more realistic but I don't know...
General question: Do you get a lock-on warning from TV missiles? I was driving a tank and suddenly, boom... During killcam I saw a chopper killed me. Can't remember, though, whether the player was equipped with one. Which would lead me to the next question: Do the air-to-surface missiles of the chopper's gunner kill with one hit after the patch?
And last but not least, EA's greed for money... Kit DLC? At first, I thought, "Sure, why not? There has been enough time since release that many players should have at least like... a lot of the gadgets unlocked." But now, I think that almost every idiot was stupid enough to pay to unlock all kits (isn't unlocking all the gimmicks one of many motivations to play?) because every jet I encountered was equipped with the ECM jammer which takes some time to get.
I don't know but EA managed to make another franchise unattractive for me (after ME3)...
I hope this is not the case but because of my rather long absence.

I don't have an answer to your questions newy, but I feel you on the whole DLC thing. To me, it is complete BS that players can purchase all the unlocks in one go. It entirely defeats the purpose of having to rank up through hard work. The only consolation I can give is that having awesome weapons and vehicle unlocks isn't going to make a bad player good. If anything, it will hinder their rate of improvement since they don't have the same incentive to improve gameplay to increase unlock rates.
I know I am going to get everything the old fashioned way by earning it.
AceHigh:
Personally I don't have anything against a purchase option to unlock everything that a player can get unlocked in a normal way, since it doesn't empower those players over others. I would be against an option where you could use real money to buy something like some sniper rifle that would kill all vehicles in 2 shots and not have a bullet drop.
Also, hard work levelling? Hahahahaha, welcome to the world of empty server farming for vehicle unlocks/levels and TDM with 64 players on Kharg island people will spawn 1 metres in front of you at most times, just shoot somewhere and you will hit thus levelling your guns, chaotic as hell. Also the only thing left that was kind of fun in BF3 before I uninstalled it.
Important question is: did a release group upload an updated version of the Origin bypass yet? Probably not...
FlyinPenguin:
So, I halfway take back what I said about private servers being awesome.
There are a lot of servers who are banning specific weapon classes and even basic defense. Some servers completely ban shotguns and others who ban AA guns. So it is ok for the opposing team to spawn lock the other team by destroying aircraft before they can take off but if that team mans an AA gun to give themselves a fighting chance, they will either get kicked or banned from the server. What kind of complete bullshit is that?
Their are many servers that ban the use of the USAS, shotguns, AA guns, beam scanning with jets, heat seekers, semi-auto sniper rifles, and even certain assault rifles. It's like the admins are trying to create a situation in which they accel and the other team has no chance.
The EA terms of service for renting a Battlefield server clearly state that an admin may NOT ban any specific weapon or weapon type from their servers which would create an unfair balance in game-play to provide any one team with an advantage over another. I am very tempted to report these people.
I think I will probably be renting my own server soon. The only rules will be no team killing or griefing. Any means to take out the enemy will be allowed except for hacking or glitching. I will soon be looking for some people to add as admins who will enforce these strict but limited guidelines for my server. I currently have two friends on my short list.

I played some SP today (still haven't completed it yet) and it was pretty fun. Too bad there was no mission where you could be an actual pilot

One of the major flaws with this game is that there are no training missions for the vehicles. That is why you have so many people crashing jets and choppers all the time in MP.
There is a co-op mission where you get to fly a chopper though. Some people use this as practice.

it be great if they set a sepreat server like they did for BF 1943.
