The Battlefield 3 - Armoured Kill trailer p281

Had a cracker of a game in an attack chopper last night. Was in with a random pilot and I'm not sure if he was super smooth or if no-one knew to target us but we spent 10 minutes bombing around Wake Island absolutely decimating the enemy. Must have bagged at least 15 infantry kills and 3 tanks before someone shot us down. I 'chuted out, grabbed my anti-air rocket and went to town. Downed the jet that got us, then the enemy Viper, then the enemy Venom twice in a row.

Epic.

That was great. I got sick of the battle for B so snuck to A. The 1st dude I killed had the recon kit with the auto shotgun, that was great for stopping them come in the door :lol:

and I could swap back to the assault kit for the medkit and if I needed to revive you. The distraction of us taking A defo helped our team take B and go on to win the game, teamwork rocks!

Edit: yes they were VERY upset over the whole thing!

I spent a bit of time last night seeking the 'complete soldier' achievement, eventually got it and felt like a complete bad ass! A great achievement that lends itself well to the game.

I got quite frustrated with the jets. Plenty of disables on other jets with few kills, choppers requiring multiple runs and a complete lack of air-ground capability meant a kill wasn't easy! The f-35 is also a complete waste of time in a dog fight, but that gun is massively powerful!

Do the guns on the jets blow up tanks easy?

No not really

I've never killed anyone with a jet. I can fly them pretty well, but I just can't strawberry floating kill anyone.
The only reason I've unlocked heat seekers for them is because I laid some mines before getting in one time and they blew up some tanks while I was in the sky. That's my biggest points haul while in one. :oops:

I can't kill a sod with the jets either.

Why is the network code so strawberry floating gooseberry fool for this game? :fp:

I have no issues with ANY other multiplayer games. :fp:

I've been forcing myself through the god awful campaign mode lately. Turned on my xbox to play it (yes I'm that bored) and it's just removed my save. So I either have to start from the beginning or just give up. Shockingly I chose the latter.

The SP is utter garbage and even worse than CODBLOPS SP.

I need to hurry up and buy this for MP :fp:

I have mate of mine who is pretty good and offers some good pointers. The throttle control is key, I think it just takes a bit of patience. I don't intend defaulting to the jets as my number 1 vehicle, i'll stick to the choppers. The guided rockets for the pilot are still overpowered, I'm not complaining. But the range you can hit ground targets with is remarkable!

my problem is that when I get in one, i get killed instantly cos the much better pilots from the opposite side are on top of it so no way can I get off the ground.

Yeah, that happens quite a bit, I think you need to get lucky with equally 'skilled' pilots, or have a wingman who is good, which allows you some space.

There's certain stuff they should have given people right from the off when it comes to jets, you don't even get flares ffs :fp:

How the hell are you meant to defend yourself against anti-aa/jets/engineers and even helicopters who are constantly locking onto you

Yeah they really should just make all the vehicle perks available, strawberry floating annoying and totally unbalanced for people who only got the game recently.

They should have servers or a game mode where it's just jets or helicopters to get more practice.

They seem to on pc but not sure as for ps3/360

I couldn't agree more that the majority of the basic vehicle unlocks should be available from the off. However, a system that allows you to pick the unlocks would be fairer, to still reward the players who put the time in.

The real solution to the balance issues is to make sure that the players in the game are matched properly. I shouldn't be playing against people who are complete newbies to the game.

If there was a seperate mp lobby for air vehicles, I think it would devalue the achievements and medals etc of the others who have played the game normally. I'm aware people whore vehicles and some may just select certain maps, but still.

For choppers, remember the co-op mission!

I tried the chopper level and both times drove the helicopter out of bounds and it exploded, my partner was "disappointed". :lol:

The layout for that level was so bad though, I had no idea where I was supposed to go.

This made me realise I've only done the first two missions of SP, and no co-op other than my attempts with Tiga to do the first one on Hard. How long's this been out now? I've never been so indifferent to a campaign in any game in all my life. It's just unheard of. CoD, Halo, Gears, Uncharted 2, Crysis 2 etc, etc all got their Campaigns polished off within a week of purchase and then MP contemplated. But this.

I know by all accounts I'm not missing much, but I'm very surprised with myself.

It's nothing to be ashamed about! why mess about with the section of the game stuck on the end, because they had to, when you can play the multiplayer? I'd still like to finish the co-op missions (last 2 left) and the campaign on hard, but I'd rather play online.

It's a game I'd quite happily pay money for, just for multiplayer. It wouldn't bother me if there was no sp, although previous bf games have done sp better. It doesn't exactly help build the user base and invite new people to the series if they chop the sp altogether. I just despair when people judge the game on the sp alone!

I had some cracking games last night, including wake island where my chopper gunner went 32-1!
