Battlefield Series - COD beater for me - Page 2

BF3 cannot come quick enough. I just need to resist buying a new PC though and stick with Xbox!

I do believe that I will also be getting BF3 when it comes out

Getting used to the "bullet drop" when sniping long distances was fun.

Oh and Leo in BF:BC2 lots of people played a medic as they got the LMG.

This will be played on Xbox though not on the PC as I'd probably need to upgrade if I wanted to play it properly on that.

I played my first online game of BC2 last night and despite being a sponge for bullets and not having a clue what was happening I did have a lot of fun!

BF3 for sure! )

It's great online, been playing quite a bit over the last week or so. Does take a while to figure out what's going on at times and obviously learning new maps but I'm getting there. Fire away if you've got any noob Q's and I'll see what I can do

Out of interest where have people been pre-ordering BF3 and what sort of bonus content are they getting?

ShopTo seems to give an avatar suit :/
Game looks like you get some in game additions.
Anywhere else?
Thanks

Haha noob questions galore for BFBC2 here:

WTF is going on?
How can I face similarly ranked people? Last night I was up against lvl 30-40 players and was often dead before I even knew what was going on!

Jhadur · 28-07-2011, 05:08

Not sure if there is a way to make sure you get similar ranked people to play against.

TBH I never bothered about it

One thing to remember in BFBC2 is keep moving at all times if possible as you can get snipered from the other side of the map. I know this as I've done it to other people.

and had it done to me

Rank doesn't mean a thing to be quite honest. The different unlocks you get from gaining rank doesn't really make other players any harder to beat.

I've not been on BFBC2 on the 360 in a while so it will probably take me a few rounds to settle back in. Coming from COD to BF usually has the same effect on my performance.

I'm up for a few rounds later on if anyone needs some cannon fodder to tag along.

Got mine from Tesco Entertainment. Cheapest price I could find and not too worried about day of release delivery so not worried if they don't despatch early enough.

Don't worry about ranks too much. Yes they have more experience and better weapons, but you can still outsmart people and that is one of the good things with BF. The maps can be so vast that there is always another option of attack. Nobody can get themselves a comfortable little bolt-hole like they can in COD. Whilst in BF you don't get a kill cam, you do get to see your killers movements for a few seconds so try to work out where they're hiding if they're a sniper. Or of course with maps being so huge you can just avoid most people
