how do you see so many? i can only see 5. and yeah no shit, playing inf with other wise inf players = good results. it's a rare and precious thing in bf3. though what's the point in your screenshots with terrible performance and just high scores? anyone can kamikaze around grand bazaar with defibs out, spamming medi-packs. that doesn't take any ability solo or in a party.

What terrible performance.  K/D shouldn't be the only indicator of skills on objective based game modes.  DM/TDM, fine, K/D is king.  But on objective based matches, DICE has rightfully made it so that those who are actually performing objectives are properly rewarded.  Yeah, that means arming and disarming with death and destruction around.  Could you consistently get that 30-0 on Rush solo full server while earning two MCOM destruction ribbons?

As for that one medic-whore screenshot, I did say I was doing it for kicks just to see how high a score I could get playing medic.  Going mad revive/heal and still keeping a 1.0 K/D solo isn't too bad.

Your kill streak only shows 26 though.  And Lucien only 19?

The shotgun rapes everything. The frag ammo is ridiculous.

tbh the number of weapons/kit-setups that "rape everything" is ridiculous. there's too much choice when it comes to selecting your 'eze-rape' kit. in bf2 you could argue in certain ways that the g36e was a bit of a one-burst-kill joke, but that was pretty much the only annoyance. in bf3 there are so many guns that are over-strong against everything that it's unfunny.

why so serious negative?

And that's a problem because?  Makes it so that it's not just a game about who gets the OP vehicle.

Hell, people are already complaining about the Mobile AA being a major threat to aircraft.  Well, yeah, it should be.

uhmm not really.
I'm trying to get service medals for all the guns and have to say that the weapons balance out pretty well.
Its about getting used to them.

nope. some guns are clearly better all-round than others. "getting used to them" is basically a polite way of saying "learning how to play with a disadvantage", which isn't the same thing as game balance.

The AEK and F2000 are not that over-powered.

You can't create teamwork just by handing out points. BF3 is living proof of this: all that 'teamwork' really comes down to is sticking together, and using each class' basic ability every once in a while. If you want teamwork, you need to properly incorporate it into the game - look at TF2, where the classes are designed to NATURALLY support each other, where the things a class actually does are things that help out other classes - that's teamwork. Valve don't just say "oh good job for healing as a medic, here's 300 points and a ribbon", they made sure that if you play medic you're going to want to actually play like one. What are you as a medic in BF3? nothing, you don't even exist, your class got renamed assault because we're all too busy looking down IR scopes shooting at endless identical enemies. What reason is there to work as a team by reviving and healing or whatever, when it's perpetually unclear who needs help and when the only reward given is points? You're better off just getting more kills. Where is the part of the game that actually makes players WANT to achieve objectives and work as a team? Beyond a handful of points, there isn't any. The only thing that BF3's classes have been properly designed to do is kill each other. There's hardly a sense of achievement you get for winning, either. All the players on your team are just strangers you can hardly even communicate with.

Conquest is an infinitely better gamemode by comparison. Flags are useful things, and so players actually want to capture them. There's a reason to not just stand around shooting at bright orange patches on your screen all round. Rush is just TDM with an added annoyance to qualify it as something more than corridor spam to BF3's wonderful userbase

it should be easy, shouldn't it? If you need an entire coordinated team using voice comms just to achieve the basic goal of the game, something's not right. Again, think of CTF in team fortress 2 vs. every other game mode. CTF is shit and anyone hardly ever plays it, because it's nigh impossible to achieve a single flag cap on a pub server, and the game turns into a shittier version of TDM. RUSH MODE IS NO DIFFERENT.

And Conquest is easy mode for a coordinated team.    Quick flag hop all day, take on enemies when you overpower them, run/hide if overwhelmed.  Never ever have the entirety of the enemy weapons pointed at you.  That is Conquest.

Yeah but in conquest you have to think and be organized about where to go; in rush its a cattle line.

Only organization you need is to stick together to cap faster, avoid massed enemies, and go for the easy caps.  Songhua + full helicopter, for example.  But with the shitty BF3 maps, much harder than BF2 to know where to go.

This is when a gaming laptop would be useful lol.

Bring it anywhere and just throw it in a bag if you're moving room to room or to a different country like you did.
