I think a lot of people have "Orkish" views on what a firefight is, they think its people blasting away at each other with 'dakka' until one sides has to flee which is not how it would be done. People seem to support this idea by saying the US army used 23'000 rounds per insurgent death in Iraq but that wrong way of look at it, its has been American doctrine to fire a **** load of ammo into anything that looks like a threat for a very long time and they fire that amount not to kill but save lives by suppressing threats. During WW2 all sides did their best to avoid "firefights", the yanks would dump ammo on everything they did not the sight of, the Germans moved up their heavy MGs to machine gun everything, the British shelled the **** out everything and the Russians would throw everything but the kitchen sink at every threat. What we would call a firefights was too "risky"as the one of the rules of Warfare is to ensure that there are no even battles...

Just keep in mind that vast majority of deaths in WW2 were due to artillery, bombing and people not even seeing what killed them rather than the firefights would see in games which would be rare in WW2...

TBH the best thing about BF3 is the soundtrack:

As they are in todays war. Still doesn't mean RO2's firefights are anything but accurate headshots.

I don't know. I had some epic firefights(which never occurs in RO2) today. We were both on rooftop and kept firing each others for like 5 minutes(long distance) both totally trying to score a kill...

No offense, but that doesn't sound epic to me, nor does it even sound like a firefight. What's the point? :p

Shock horror, that what happens when most people are armed with weapons that can shoot a gnats nuts off at 800 meters away. Also you can pull off some crazy stuff in BF3 like you can crawl shooting at the same time and vault over stuff whilst still shooting...

S'all about da dakka, boss! We shoots them 'til 'dey be deaf from the sound of our shiny kustom shootas!

Also the Seine Crossing is like the hell version of Danzig with both sides attacking and the middle flag is on a bridge, its not a very pretty sight and is a a flat out meat grinder...

I have a nasty sound-bug that makes me deaf 90% of the time - even in singeleplayer.
Also, it is almost impossible to play in the same team in the same squad with your friends. My brother and me tried, we tried and tried... It is like you get automatically switched into the other team when you join a friend, and when on the same team you always get assingned to a different squad. And then, the squad system is bugged, so you cant switch...

Performance... Everything runs pretty well on high, except for slight stuttering now and then in Campaign. On Multiplayer however, it runs perfectly fine one moment and stutters horrendously the other. Had to switch to middle settings, but the stutters didnt get much better. Interestingly, my brother has a slightly better CPU and slightly worse GPU, and it works like a charm for him...

Overall, it doesnt look very finished. Biggest problems are the maps though, some are just bad. Why the hell can

Well, a friend of mine took the screenshot and I have no reason not to believe him.

I'm not saying that's fake, but it could be virus, not original Origin application. I know EAs EULA is pretty much like this "Hey! if you want to play my games, you have to agree to install my spyware on your PC), but this looks seriously wrong.

Could be. He only sent it to me because I couldn't monitor Origin accessing any folders but it's own. But yeah, the real beef I have with EA is the "and btw, you can't sue us if you accept the TOS" ****.

Well it looks like there are already hackers in the game:

Whilst not my best game (my whole k/d is 1.72) but check out the guy on the team and silly high rank, he sat on on a hill near the Russian spawn picking us off with a M98B. He has a stats booster for sure (he did not do capping and its only 100 points per kill) but I hope to dear god that was using a aim bot or else that gun is REALLY insane...
