in jets you only start with bullets, no countermeasures, no rockets, so it's harder to kill and harder to survive

I can get in a tank easily and start shooting people, without having any unlocks

I could agree with flares being needed from the beginning, much like I could agree that a medic should have shock paddles from the beginning.

I can understand you not liking it, and as you said, we can agree to disagree.

well, I did say that I liked the WEAPON unlock system, not the attachement unlocks As I said in a previous post, I do think that it's a tad bit over the top, but not game-breaking, really (could be worse, far more umbalanced, ala COD). Scopes aren't really umbalanced.... by using a more powerful scope, you get a more funneled vision (personnally, I do prefer the russian holo sigh over any more powerful scope. Never used the Infra-red to this date, and I'm not really curious to try it out). The two other unlock categories are an advantage for the one who did unlock stuff for those, but it's not comparable to heath-seaking missiles.....

To that i even added it would be one thing to upgrade weapons but to have none is stupid. Then you started your bs and time in game around. If you had any common sense at all by now you would know your statement of listening to retards who have never played is completely retarded. Obviously if i was complaining about the unlock system i have played the game.

Let me also add you and several others in here have tried to build the bc3 community by killing the bf2 community. Next time try trolling the bc3 section for players instead of the bf2 section.

The only thing you have been proven correct about, is that if someone disagrees with you, we are the trolls. I'm not trying to kill the BF2 community, it doesn't need my help in that area. I will promote BF3 over BF2 any day, but not at the expense of BF2. If I feel BF3 is a superior game that is my opinion. If other want to disagree, cool, just provide some info as to why. At least people like Chray actually put some time into the game before forming opinions. I don't have to agree with him, but it definitely helps to know the person arguing with you was actually dying in the same games as you too. Do you have to play a lot to have an opinion? No, but it certainly helps when you hit up the forums to bitch and complain...

Oh bullshit. You and a few others have put the same amount of posts in here if not more about bc3 then you have in the bc3 area. The reason i called you a troll is because everytime someone puts up a reason they dont like bc3 your quick to call them inexperienced or tell them how their train of thought is wrong. I said before bc3 could be a great game if some things were changed and when i said it i expressed how its my opinion.

If you want to disagree with me im perfectly fine with that but dont try to tell me how im wrong and your right. That siur is exactly what you have done to everyone that said anything remotely adverse about bc3. Your perfectly fine with agreeing with chray when he said the same thing i said. So why try to pick mine apart? Why should you think that your extra time in game some how means my opinion should not be what it is?

Your entire post is bullshit toker. Your fine with with disagreeing LOL. You sir just flat out lied. If you were fine with disagreeing then we wouldnt have had pages of argueing due to my opinion of the unlocks for the jets being stupid.

So if you love to play Quake, play BF3; it´s got better graphics. If you love to play the one and only strategy FPS game in existence: play BF2. It´s really in a league of its own. There´s enough space for both of them in the web

I guess I am doing it wrong then because every time I play there are strategies formed with my squad and team, and strategy on the opposing team too.

I dont understand the frustration for noobs and the unlock system...

Its not like you start the game and instantly know where the choke points are, what different tactical approaches there are, where the flags are, how to crouch, how to spot......... But wait... Having unlocks earlier will help you with all these things?


By the time you get the hang of these things maps you will have more unlocks then you know what to do with.

I would like to present all the beginner pilots out there with the best unlocks right at the beginning. I want them to be able to take off and bomb the opposing tanks or even shoot down the helicopters before they completely decimate our team... Oh wait... You crashed into an antenna.
