But now im ranting... lol
I know that feel bro.

I agree with you on everything except the fact that BF3 sucks. BF3 is a good game, people just love trashing it. Seems like DICE/EA is trying to grow the franchise by coming out with Battlefield 4 so quickly. I don't like it, they should've at least started developing Bad Company 3 and gave Battlefield 4 a few more years until release.

Is there any way to know as a helicopter gunner when the pilot released their flares? Other than being on voice chat with them? Cause I never hear the sound of the pilot releasing theirs. So I release mine while they release theirs thinking that the pilot didnt release any since I didn't hear anything and then the pilot gets mad that I didn't flare after them when I did, just at the same time.

Also I tried changing the camera view but the stupid helicopter doesn't allow 3rd person view as a gunner in the helicopter.
in bf2 you could hear when the pilot dropped flares altho you couldnt benefit from it, other than bailing.
Yeah, I don't know why they screwed it up in BF3. I don't even want to fly with my friend without being on voice because of this.

I'm sure you can hear when pilot hits ecm or flares but its still useless in the heat of things without some sort of plan/precedent.

No, no you can't. If I was able to hear it I would know when to release mine.

No there isn't when you're the gunner in the helicopter. Obviously it does make a noise in general.

As a rule, if I'm not talking to the pilot, I assume he doesn't have them or won't be dropping them. Seems to work out more than assuming he knows what hes doing.

I feel you guys on the flare and ECM audible notification. On Xbox there's 12v12 and we get locked all the time so I cannot imagine the hell it must be with 32v32. I imagine you guys are flaring and using ECM immediately after it reloads.

When my friends and I have some good friendly jet pilots we can usually stick to TV missiles, which are hard to control on 360, and the zoom optics. By doing this we can stay far away enough to avoid getting locked onto and all we worry about are enemy jets.

You can take out infantry far farther away than they can lock onto you. You're a sitting gun turret of death raining hell from above beyond their reach. I've gone 84-5 doing that. You're not at risk from getting designated from SOFLAMs, CIT-Vs, or laser designators; stingers and IGLAs also are useless against you. Have you ever even tried just flying high and out of range?

It's pretty effective. My stats won't lie.

Doesn't show the orange chevrons past a certain range for least for infantry when in a heli or jet.

BF2 was an incredibly better game, best of the franchise IMO.

What I don't get is this, with all the problems we have relating to BF3 right now, why are we talking about BF4's release already?

I mean on one side, you could say no one will want BF4 since BF3 is this terrible. With all the wall glitching on metro and the fact that there's only one true I/O map on hardcore and the nerfing of the jets and so many other vehicles. You would almost not want to pick up the next one because it seems like when DICE comes around to an update all they do is nerf guns... The only GOOD nerf they did was tone down the USAS with frags, nothing else needs to be nerfed or changed. Certain guns are good at certain things for certain reasons. TV missiles on xbox are near impossible to use too, which frustrates me personally because I loved them in BF2.

Now on the flipside to that rant, would it be better to just trash BF3 as a whole and start over in BF4?? Just take what they learned from the community and how bad BF3 was and scrap it and make a new game?

What do you guys think... because I think both options are crap but if I had to pick one I would speed up dev. on BF4 and get it right this time. Seems like right now they are trying way too hard to appeal to the call of duty players by adding all of these childish things like getting an unlock every 5 minutes so that you feel like the game is giving you a pat on the back while you sit in the back of metro sniping, not playing the objective, and holding a solid 0.25 K/D...

How are jets nerfed? Your post made me laugh a lot, sorry to say.

More crybabies play this game than ever before. Kept getting killed in a server for going past the C flag on metro. The entire RU team was camping their spawn and they just killed me and a few others. Fuck them, if you get caught in spawn lock then you should take it like a man.
