Tanks are where it's at (only because I suck at flying any aircraft).
Been playing Rush. not really sniping, but just a quick machine gun burst from a good distance kills me instantly while i put 4 or 5 bursts into a guy and it has no effect on them.

haha i sorta got a hang of helicopters. just aslong as i dont have to do any crazy flying.

Love the scope with the infrared. Even if I don't have a chance to kill the guy, I can tell teammates at positions where the enemy is coming from.

You can also press select when looking at an enemy to radio in their location (they show up on the map for a few seconds)

Yes for the love of god people use the spotting feature (select button when looking at an enemy or enemy vehicle). It's how you see enemies that aren't near you with the red indicator above their heads and how your teammates will be able to see the ones you identify.

Most of that is still relevant for BF3. This video was most helpful for me.

My current obsession is taking out tanks....I don't use them and they piss me off so much, it's fun to be an engineer and see the points rack up when you take out a tank, especially with multiple enemies inside.

I'm leaning more and more towards no MW3.....I preferred BC2 over COD, but BC3 is even better and I don't see myself playing any COD with this game around.

No. The open beta was released about a month before release date.

lulz at all the BF newbs. Shocked at the teamwork. You guys missed out on the BF2 glory days. BF has always been and always will be > COD.

Why lulz? I love the game. Just need to learn it. Every game plays different. I do agree I missed out on BF2 though.

Twas good. I have played them all. 1942, Vietnam, BF2, 2142, BC2, BF3. Hard to beat BF2 though. And 2142 was just as swell.

Because this is classic BF and you're just now discovering it.

Yes, somebody gets it....... and also fuck the people that play rush and conquest like it is team deathmatch. It does help to kill the other team but sniping from way far way while your base is getting overtaken is not accomplishing anything.

This. I hated it in CoD too. There is an objective for a reason. But CoD is all about kills. Pretty annoying.
