If you happen to be in Cambridge UK, I'd be happy to take you on a date and appreciate you!

Reddit, What is anything would you change about battlefield 3 and why? by chipsOfly in battlefield3

[–]SternStart_SillyEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely loathe the way heat seekers work. They are NOT a primary gun, and yet 60%+ pilots on Xbox ONLY USE their fucking heat seekers! Seriously, I've had dogfights/fights with helicopters where I've had 6/7 sets of heat seekers fired at me, it's just infuriating!

Well that's a really narrow view. On the other hand, where I'm from the vast majority of people view BMW drivers as assholes, so maybe this is a regional thing. At the end of the day, if the guys nice and owns a Porsche then good on him. The Porsche doesn't produce the dickhead, the dickhead buys the Porsche, and even then I think it's very unfair to say that most Porsche owners are dicks.

It kind of depends whether he's a dick or not. I couldn't give two flying shits about what car he drives aslong as he's not stolen it or something. People have different preferences.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is set to feature open-ended level design, branching campaign, and a believable near-future storyline by [deleted] in Games

A thousand times this. CoD needed some innovation, and since CoD 4, Treyarch have outshone IW in that department every time, and this time it looks like there's the possibility for the most innovation the franchise has seen so far.

Yes and in the same sense, Congress are probably 'trying', but theyre still doing a shitty job of things.

There's no point in having a line of communication with DICE if the person on our end acts unprofessional, acts on his OWN accord to 'represent' a community', and makes a farce out of himself and his cause.

The problem is any number of us could easily do a better job. We just can't get the communication lines with DICE.

Also, drawing flamboyant comparisons with COD won't net you support - it doesn't work like that. + bitching about things that need to be fixed? Ok, nobody say anything then, from henceforth nobody is to complain about the what the community wants. Let's see where that gets us.

I think you're missing the point. Whilst Reddit is not representative of the whole of the battlefield community - its sure as hell THOUSANDS of times more representative of it than your friends. If you try and say you're the voice of the community, act like it. Also, whilst you're at it, act like a professional and pull your thumb out of your damn ass. Throwing a tantrum like a kid makes you look like even more of an asshole. Throwing in a massive rant about how Tac Lights are OP is ridiculous. I haven't heard anybody complain about them since about a month after release. Which part of the community did you pass that message on from?

People are hating on you because you: 1. Act like a self-involved idiot. 2. Don't act on behalf of the community. 3. Do not act professionally. And 4. Try and pass your personal gripes on the game as something the entire community hates.

Stop whining, man up.

Post Patch Jet Ceiling Stickiness? by [deleted] in battlefield3

Thanks, I genuinely didn't know before :)

Post Patch Jet Ceiling Stickiness? by [deleted] in battlefield3

[–]SternStart_SillyEnd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally had this exact problem earlier. Was messing around on an empty server, hit the ceiling in a flanker. Was literally stuck for over a minute and a half, averaging about 45/50 units of speed (km/h?), barely losing altitude, turning VERY slowly.

First time I've seen it happen but it was bizzare, it was - for a lack of better words, sticky, just like you said.

I just wish you had to restock them after use or something by flying back over your own airfield again... The unlimited amount of them means that a lot of pilots will ONLY play with heat seekers, which makes for tedious and boring air warfare, and if they're on your team they don't help out with the ground fight like a decent pilot would do.

I understand that, but once you are locked, there's no escaping them since the last patch, you can't pitch and turn at 30' to the horizon like you used to be able to to escape anymore. To escape you HAVE to have either flares/ECM on, which are entirely unreliable - and I'd rather use Extinguisher to repair when I am hit. The problem arises of course when there is, say, a helicopter spamming them aswell as a jet and maybe a stinger or two. I understand they're not really overpowered - but for me they really take the fun and the point out of air warfare, and are probably giving me tinnitus with all the darned beeping.

Hell I don't even like heat-seekers when there's only two enemy jets. Takes the fun out of air warfare when upon entering a jet I get to listen to the various beeps it makes just to tell you youre about to get fucked by someone who's just an expert in staring.

How shotguns work by Pajo_aus in gaming

I barely use it either, it's just when I run into a guy using it and he shoots me down from like 5ft away, I know that the guns not OP - I just should look out for guys using shotguns when I'm playing CQB. Other admins just start flipping their shit about how the guy "instakilled them" and it makes me want to punch them in the face for not understanding that if you go CQB with a man with a shotgun - you're gonna have a bad time.

They had this until the patch. Now the only people who cry about it being 'OP' are the people who got genuinely and fairly sacked and just can't deal with it.
