They probably made that change because in BC2, there were some maps where you could pound the objectives with tanks from the spawn zone and destroy them without ever risking being killed.

Because it has a hidden cooldown to prevent sweeping an area and revealing everyone hidden. It's a button press to make sure YOU spotted them.
Wonderful, so if you spot a few people at once, now you can't even highlight all of them because of the cooldown. You can highlight them all. The cooldown is triggered on misses in succession, and it has a pretty forgiving cone. So if you see and spot 20 dudes, go nuts. If you spam spot 5 times into the darkness and get no bites, you can't spot again for a bit. It's to make it so you can spot people you actually see, but not use it as some form of bush sweeping radar. I don't really see a problem with the system. IRNV is far more of an issue imo. |

As far as getting spotted by enemies constantly, they are probably using the IRNV scope, which pretty much a cheat code at this point. I will be amazed if it doesn't get nerfed beyond belief.

Oh PETA, you do more to hurt the cause of those against animal cruelty than any video game ever could.

Serious question: Do people in the US really take PETA seriously? I mean, aside from vapid and brain-dead models and celebrities?

Define take seriously? I think people assume they mean what they say, but I don't think people take them seriously as in give a shit what they say. |

Yeah, well as in over here people take, say, the RSPCA seriously. Which I think is the same as most countries' SPCA (ours just has "Royal" in front of it).

The local SPCAs usually are well liked. They don't really do much besides take in strays and do health care and awareness campaigns. PETA is just crazy, and nobody actually takes them seriously or ever wants their endorsement. |

You have to go tag the objective with an infantry guy and then keep the bomb from being defused for a set amount of time, even though you can reduce the entire base the objective is in to rubble from long range.
yeah it made rushes even stupider. I remember my teammates react in horror as I detonated the 6 x C4 when an enemy came to arm the bomb in BC2. No such thing here, baby. Setting the bomb..oh wait what's this C4 doing here...oh shi--- |

What about the poor poor elephants in Age of Empires II? Oh wait, that game's not new or popular enough, is it?  |

I'm really loving the Engineer. I'm a mine planting fool and pubbies line up to drive over them all round long.
Try this: Place your mines, then when you die spawn as a different class. Your mines will last until they kill someone because :dice: |

Oh, but if you respawn, the counter resets. So plant 6 mines, die, plant 6 more, die.. etc until the entire map is a field of tank death. It's funny planting a few mines near a flag approach and hanging out. I got 7 tank kills in a row from the same dudes who kept coming back and hitting the exact same mines. |

Hopefully the first Skyrim mod will be a quest to kill 10 PETA members.

“We said originally that the PC was the lead SKU of the game, but in mid-production we switched to console as lead platform to make sure we could get all the versions done for release,” So, kind of like id Software with RAGE, then. And borderlands. So much for promises.  |

It's more the DRM bullshit that's turning me off. Along with every other publisher deciding that they want to be mini-steam now. What are you going to do when they require you authenticate your game on your console, too? First they came for the PC games, and I didn't cry out because I wasn't a PC gamer, etc etc etc. /facepalm I didn't cry out? I stopped buying them. Besides - when a PC title has non-intrusive DRM, I'm happy to buy it. |

Yeah, there's quite a number of objectives where you just take the building down i- mortars, C4, RPG, whetever - instead of worrying about a prolonged firefight defending the box so it goes off.,. |

Quick question, If I am able to run the first and second mission (up until you get to go after the sniper, could not stand the gameplay longer  )on the lowest quality setting on my dated machine, should I be able to run multiplayer or is it more taxing ? |

Yeah, I'm confused. was there any risk of losing anything by logging online at all?
Oh, yeah. Fuck the main campaign, if you can only play the main campaign for this game, then you should try to sell it off or get a refund. The main campaign is just utter shit with no redeemable parts.

I borrowed a copy from my coworker, but he instructed me NOT to try multiplayer for fear of his account getting banned.  edit to add: or my own old EA-account from BC2. Origin makes me nervous.  |

How would you compare it to BFBC1/2/MW1/2/3? I assumed it was pretty much more of the same? |

Is it me, or is the m60 in this game a pile of horse dick? The recoil is riduclous, it takes a long time to kill someone even at close range, and the irons are awful.
Playing with this gun enough to unlock the holo / grip / extended mags, I cant see why anyone should use this gun over the M240

BF3 has destructible environments and near photo-realistic (if your PC can handle it) graphics. In every other way it is a step back from BF2.

Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end.
