Yes it is terribly broken would have thought they would have sorted out by now, but there you go.

Sounds like generalisation, and not true.

There are some redundant weapons in each class (and i can see some boredom there). But there are some interesting combinations along with PDWs and shotguns. Certainly more than BF2. Not sure how BF2 event compares in that regard.
My point was that within a certain catagory of weapon (Assault rifle, sniper rifle, smg, shotgun,lmg) the weapons in other games all handle and behave differently. The playstyle with the m16 was a lot differnent than with the AK101 for example. That goes for CSS too. In bf3 they're all kinda interchangable in that they behave very similar to one another. It's not like there's massive differences between the damage on lmg's, or accuracy of the m4 compared to the ak, or the m16, or the l85. They're all just kinda bland different looking skins with small differences that can be mastered inside an hour.

DICE......just give me the Garand and i'm a happy man.

Thats exactly what I did. But it still was a pain.
Why did you bother? You can get unlimited stars with any weapon, so it's not like you're missing out on a whole bunch of points if you just stick to your favorite guns.

What snipy said. OCD.

I´ve reached the point now though, that I really only use the weapons I like, which is mainly the 870. lol

870 is probably the most satisfying weapon in the game. Almost as good as it was in BF2.

Better I´d say. Slugs and scopes enable you to play on any distance.

So, are there any settings I can use to improve view/draw distance?

Sometimes when flying low with the chopper, I'll have these lightpoles 'pop up' (not really, but I can only see them when it's too late) which make me crash.

And is playing in 'color-blind' mode worth it?

Mesh quality is what you´re looking for.

Forgot to say I'm playing with almost all settings on ultra/high.. So lowering mesh quality won't help then, I guess?

Nope, the lower mesh quality the more pop up you have.

I think those poles claimed more deaths among flyers than any other weapon.

True story lol.

Always gives my mate and I a good laugh when we run into one though.

Making a sharp left turn, see pole appear right in front of us. We both say 'fuck' at the same time and then crash into that bugger.

I'm not sure if the mesh quality setting affects overall draw distance, or just the quality at distance...but on ultra I feel like I spot things before my friends who are on medium.

And color-blind mode doesn't seem to be as big of an improvement as in BC2. I use it, but I don't think it made any significant difference. If you're actually colorblind, you should be able to spot camo just a little bit easier than those who aren't, but it can be helpful if you're across the map and all you have to go by are the little colored markers.
