I get the feeling that nobody wants to get healed by medkits. Stopping to get healed up is a no-no, it seems - and they are useless for healing stationary targets like recons and supports because they tend to die before healing takes effect.

I don't think I ever got more than 50 points from throwing medkits. -_- Grenade launcher ftw.

It's really the same story with the mobile AA. People complain to me about how much it sucks and I see them go drive into the ass end of nowhere and sit. And sit.

Positioning isn't just for SC. Where you are is as important as what you're using. I have no problem hitting first when I stick to healing and defibbing, Like Latham said you basically just whore up points. Two people get killed by a rocket? Np you just got that guys points for fibbin. Drop a medpack on em while they're prone. Move on.

Edit: I still get dropped every once in a while when the server changes maps. Not really dropped per se it just hangs. Shit sucks

Double Edit: Please never use Bazaar for Rush lol

Is it me, or is the MAV really buggy?
Sometimes i can spot larger groups of enemies easily for my team, but sometimes it takes forever to spot a guy even tho im spamming Q and is 10 feet away from him.

I absolutely agree that Seine crossing has a way too low ceiling, and it could use some more routes in spots. By the way, Canals = Seine crossing, right? You named them as two different maps.

And yes, IR scopes are ridiculous. I got absolutely destroyed by two players using the SKS with an IR-sight in hardcore. They could still hit me about 100-150 meters out with ease, and it just one shot killed me. At first I thought IR-sights was bad, because I was trying them in the tunnel part of Operation Métro, but after trying them in broad daylight it performed a lot better, which seems a bit strange to me. They'll have to find a way to change it, without destroying it. Not DICE's strong suit, sadly.

Canals is the harbor map whith the railtracks down the middle, US spawns on a carrier. One of the best maps for conquest imo. Seine crossing is the city map with the canal down the middle.

Also IR scopes really aren't that big of a deal imo. I tried using them a bit, but I find the holographic sights way more comfortable to use. If you get absolutely destroyed by someone using the IR-sight, he would have probably destroyed you with any other sight as well anyways.

Ah; that one. Thanks. I'd swear that one was called differently. Thought it actually had harbor in the name.

And the thing with IR scopes is that they make it easier for you to see people (note; this was on Tehran) while not having any drawbacks. FoV is fine, can steady etc.

I have to ask though; why can I use the IR sight with a shotgun?

Seriously? I get 1K points for healing easily each game. You just need to know where the fight is thickest and where people are deadlocked. Try metro and running up the side stairs. You can whore points so easily there. Not to mention the corpses slide down below so when you defib them you're in a safe position. Same with the top room next to it.

Grand Bazaar it's usually B the alleyway between A square and C Market that is the bullseye. When you'll be assaulting B, you can whore points again.
Seine is usually good when going for the russian home flags like backstreets and market. US flags like squares are a bit harder but you can get some points there too., especially if you'll be assaulting the bridge.
Pedevank Peak is the last stop. Usually the middle flag inside the tunnel scores a lot of points. Otherwise the narrow tunnels on either side. People spam nades and rockets in there so it's easy healing or defibing.

Same goes for ammo resupplying.
On more mech based maps it's not profitable to play medic unless youre playing up with friends in a squad and you've got teamspeak.

It hangs with me too, after a few rounds on a server I have to bring up task bar to end the BF3 process. Maybe it's the battlelog plugin update? It started happening after updating?

Does anyone else with thermal scope and proximity scan for the tank feel like a hacker when their using it?

Also an I just being cynical or do most of these maps suck balls. Anything with 64players seems to be a crazy shit-fest of death and sadness for everyone. Most of the maps without a vehicle focus are just a little lacking.

Operation Metro boring choke-point camp Is just ridiculous.

Grand Bizaar needs to be about 3* bigger and it would be fine. Also the enemy can get way way to close you your un-cappable spawn. IMO if your at your un-cappable spawnpoint you should be un-killable at least by anything on the land.

Tehran Highway seemed ok, but i haven't played it that much seems to have been removed for all the servers because of the lag it cause for some reason.

Demavand Peak needs a mountain pass you can drive over or like 3 scout choppers per team. I kinda like the idea of tones of choppers on this map especially if they made another purely transport chopper for it. No guns on them anywhere, so it was still troop focused. Instead of 2 teams just 1a-ing into each other down a tunnel.

Seine Crossing: Seems ok-ish, does seem to promote camping a lot though. I don't really have a strong opinion on this one.

Canals: fine except for the stupidly low 'map ceiling'

Operation Firestorm: I feel like I should like this map, but I'm just not feeling it. Im not sure why and TBH I don't actually think there is anything wrong with it.

Caspian Border: Easily my favorite map so far, I don't really have any problems with it.


I wish IR scopes weren't available on rifles. Their just too good, maybe if they made them completely useless when you were outside or anywhere bright they would be ok. But ATM they don't seem to have a downside unless im missing it?


TLDR: Game good, maps bad and IR scope way to good needs a nerf.
