Forrests Friday Night Battlefield Meet Forum

Been quite busy the last few Fridays so I haven't had much of a chance to sign up for the meets. I think I will join tonight though, haven't played in a while and could do with a bit of fun.

Well Yog you were irritatingly good last night, god knows how many times you killed me but it was ridiculous. I also really enjoyed it, but less than I would've had you not killed me so much!

What was also great fun was spawning behind you and adding your dogtags to my collection .

Is it just me though, or is there less emphasis on acquiring dogtags than BC2 (even though there are more options etc for personalising them)? I dunno, but it just seems like less of a deal is made about it now, but not sure why tbh.

I very rarely use the knife as its inconsistent. Sometimes you slit their throat and kill them, sometimes you do the little lame slash thing that takes about 10 health. Even seems to happen when you've crept up behind someone. A couple of times I've slashed them like that only for them to turn around and kill me, so I just shoot them in the head for a headshot instead

Ha! Just looked through my dog tags and I have yours from 3 months back

And back then I was absolutely rubbish, so,

 

Mostly good games Friday even though the server was majorly laggy. Which caused some drop in/outs for me. I also managed to play long enough to hit level 45, and earn me that gold trophy. I also got the platinum last night after mopping up the final single player trophys, and I'm well pleased, never thought I'd be getting it

Doesn't surprise me to be honest – I am still pretty poor now, so back then I was probably bloody awful! Plus I have always had a bit of an issue with what’s going on behind me in FPS*, which is why before this gen I never touched ‘em. It’s all devs seem to wanna release these days though, so it’s pretty much play FPS or play only a few games a year!

I am of course exaggerating & I do now enjoy FPS much more than I did – Unfortunately, that doesn’t make me any better at them though.

I too hit Colonel on the weekend as well, but alas no plat for me – Still have to do all of the singleplayer stuff & the co-op, so that one will never happen. I already had an experience of co-op on hard & let’s just say it didn’t go too well for me (which is being generous – Truth be told, i am a fucking liability!).

*(lets see the increase of people trying to take my tags now! )

Oh, i know you are more than decent mate – I have the bulletholes from Friday as proof!

Appreciate the offer mate, but it may be more frustrating than you realise… Just ask Yogh!

I will see what happens though – If i happen to have a moment to run through the singleplayer & manage to get through that on hard, maybe i might go for the plat. Simply put, if i can't manage that, it's probably isn't worth me wasting anyones time with trying to go for the co-op trophies, as it just ain't gonna happen!

Maneorix I took your tags ;-) that's big news for me lol.

Yogdog was my nemesis again, bit at least I pissed him off by killing him with my noob tube in the ticket hall :-)

@Yogh: Yeah, i agree actually  – Starting on hard, knowing absolutely nothing about the maps could have been seen as suicide really & i guess practice makes perfect in that respect… I just felt a bit useless come the end as there were some shooters i really could not see until it was too late. It sometimes felt like i was spending more time waiting to be revived than actually shooting people!

But we'll see how it goes – If i ever manage to get through the campaign on hard (i hear actually making a start on it helps with this!), perhaps i'll give you a shout. Appreciate the offer of help from both you & yogdog though.

@Maneorix: Yeah, were some really good games on Friday & winning does help that slightly!

I was a little up & down at the beginning, but i found my groove a few matches in. Doesn't really help that i am trying to get some decent scopes & attachments for some of my less used guns though. Turns out that some of them are less used for a reason!

Bailing was understandable though – That particular game i recall being pretty hectic & as you mention, at one point you could hardly move for vehicles. I think i still have tank track tread imprints on my forehead.

@tony – Grats on the tags… Pretty sure that would be pretty big news for most people really, as it isn't like manny is a camper that sits on a rock begging you to take his tags each match!

Also, props on noobtube skillz! That ticket hall can get to be a bit of a clusterf*ck at times!

@An-dz – I agree that it was nice not to be the ones clambering out of the spawn & ducking bullets left right & centre, but i have to say that i am also not a fan of pinning people down at their own spawn. It almost feels like bullying!

Yes, i know it basically comes down to whether someone is sneaky enough to get out in one piece & start capturing again, but what i think it might be slightly fairer is that if the spawn area grows with the less land owned by that team. As in when you have lost most/all objectives, your spawn area grows a little in size so you have a little more room to manoeuvre without being pinned down by a tank/heli combo. This in turn would cause the winning side to be a bit more defensive over their objectives if the spawn area grew to just outside objective C on Noshahr Canals for example.

I haven't thought the logistics through of course, that just seems a little fairer to me (especially on maps like Metro & Tehran Highway) & a good way to keep a more competitive game going & not losing so many players to ragequits due to not being able to do anything.
