BF3 No One Hit Body Kills with Snipers, More Weapon Recoil, and More

[swindle]

One very interesting, and potentially controversial statement that Kertz made was, “there are no 1 hit body kills with sniper rifles. Pull your side arm or use a semi auto for fast follow up hits.” Do you Battlefield fans agree with this? Is it unrealistic, or does it better serve the gamepley?

[BushySB]

Same as BC2

[swindle]

I will forever only play HC mode.

More fun with no HUD imo.

[Emrico1]

Meh, one body shot kills with the sniper just encourage sniper bads, headshot or gtfo. Better for gameplay.

[Dr Woomanchu]

Wait for all the camper types to want a HC mode, so they can one shot from wherever they're cowering.

[Carkus]

Yep far too many snipers in BC2 as it is. Having one shot kill would just encourage more, which we don't need. They'll also probably have claymores so if they had one shot kills as well then it would be a pretty bs class as they could just sit back and one shot kill in some cunty spot and not have to worry about getting stabbed in the back.

That might be realistic, but i'd rather it be a little more balanced and fair.

[swindle]

Bullet drop sounds like a factor that will throw all these "snipers" (hang on a sec, i can't help but roll on the floor crying in laughter at the idea that BC2 guys who use a bolt action consider themselves snipers) a curve ball from hell.

Massive distances with bullet drop will be welcome change from BC2.

(Aware BC2 has "bullet drop" also)

[Munchie]

I think spot on headshot should be 1HK... but the rest, good job camping snipers can gtfo =D

[EnjoyTheSauce]

Agree with this completely

No point is using realism as a for or against argument when it comes to BF3. By no means is this a realism shooter, despite what devs and reviewers might say.

[oefox]

I think i will like the balance better but one thing that annoyed me was that weapon handling wasn't really handled very realistically with snipers, I think the time to aim is too quick, pistols, smg's, and rifles like the AUG and F2000 should be quick to aim whilst the others longer. I felt the LMG's were a good balance whilst sniper rifles should not be accurate from hip firing and the scoping should take longer, esp. the "not so light" M95.

Ahhh back to real guns and gameplay makes sense being BF3 the follow on from BF2142

There is a differnce between the M24 GOL etc vs the M95 it takes longer to bring up and scope

[DeeUnit]

This has been around for a while.


It will be like bf2, one hit anywhere in body leaves you with the equivalent of 2 bars of health, pistol shot to finish. BC2 was one hit kill bodyshot with the correct gun and perks.

[Bell]

seems to be a lot of people that suffer from this unfortunately

think its like 10 meters without the damage upgrade and 15 with it

[oefox]

Yes, but they're still deadly accurate from hip fire which is where it's crap; hip firing a sniper rifle should be wildly innacurate

[Carkus]

Agree with this completely

No shit, i've been playing BF since 1942 ... quite aware of that. What i was meaning, is that yes it may be more realistic to have like an m95 kill with one shot but that doesn't mean it's better.

[Dr Woomanchu]

If you want realism, then once you are killed you should never be able to play the game again.

[Carkus]

LOL best $89 ever spent. Maybe they could implement like what BIS did in Operation Flashpoint where when you died you spawned as a Seagull and flew around. Hahaha that was so random.

[Bell]

ArmaII still does that heh

[swindle]

Where the fak is Arma III?

[mattnz]

Should make it so you can't roam around a house with your 1.5m long sniper rifle out as well, sort of crysis style.

What they really need to do is stick in the RAF Pilot Aptitude tests before you're allowed to fly.

[Mr_St1nky]

I still think that America's Army had such a good idea with their SP training sessions. So for BF3, having to pass an aptitude test before you're allowed to jump in a jet/tank etc

[pyro]

I had totally forgotten about the AA training, must admit it was a great tool to start off with. Would be great to have it implemented for jets/helis in bf3, the amount of times you see someone jump in one to instantly crash it, then come back and repeat it over and over was a joke.

hardcore mode? come on hardcore is for people that enjoy spammy it up and are so shit at being a sniper they can't get headshots. hardcore is for babies with no skill.

[Mr_St1nky]

speaking of hardcore bruce...you still want to have a gander at that cunting artbook?

[=C=]

1 hit from the 50.cal sniper rifle or MG gun! I also want to see gaping holes and limbs fly off. Not to mention leave said holes in walls and facades!

[winter]

I also want to see gaping holes and limbs fly off.

That would be interesting in a battlefield game. Loss of limbs would be pretty gory though, funny with the occasional ragdoll, but gory.

[Bell]

This isn't the video game you are looking for.

[The Demon Lord]

I like 1 hit sniper body kills - it makes playing Assault sniper much more fun - running round with the M95 with a 4x scope using it like a shotgun = lols!

[Dr Woomanchu]

I platted all the sniper rifles using them with red dot. With the bolt actions, it's basically a nubs version of slug shottie.

I don't spam. I use nothing but the M14 mod0. How is that spammy?

No, i just enjoy having people die when i shoot them twice. Anymore then that is just stupid.

Yeps, that's why there are heaps of HC competitions.

I enjoy both modes, but there should never be a HC competition, that'd be lame as all hell.

I don't care what gun you use, sure the m14 might not be spammy but you may be 1 in 100 that doesn't play HC for the easy kills (or maybe you are), I'm just saying HC is a spammy piece of shit, and its based on a people running around camping for easy kills or hitting red triangles half way across the map. If you want skill then don't play hardcore because that way you at least need to track a target and not hope for a lucky couple of shots.

hardcore is for kids. I'm just happy that spammy shithouse mode isn't what they use in comp matches.

just saying.

[hoodieblanket]

sounds like you got a chip on your shoulder. Did HC flip you the bird and shit in your cereal? :D

[konvik]

TBH HC Mode or Not.. I don't care less which mode I play. I like HC Because it makes it harder to trackback to said campers etc, you get hitmarkers so you have to literally hunt them, rather than get a killcam and follow where they were... Both modes bring a challenge, just in different ways. KD Ratio or not. I personally don't care too much. Games a game yo

[Munchie]

HC without camping snipers would be better I feel, actually any mode without camping snipers would be paradise.

[brucewillis2]

sounds like you got a chip on your shoulder. Did HC flip you the bird and $#@! in your cereal? :D

and you are? blanketboy? what the fu*k are you talking about, flipping the bird and cereal? you're the perfect person that loves the easy kills in hardcore. play normal mode and see how you do. You're probably one of these guys that can't get easy kills and switch to an hardcore server and spam it up.

seriously though hardcore is for chumps. I laugh at people that think its the skill mode, which it isn't

[hoodieblanket]

wooow.. im sorry that sounded so confrontational but it was merely a jest at your exaggerated anger towards HC. Again, apologies.

Running around camping is an oxymoron. It makes no sense.

There are no 3D markers (little red triangles) in a proper HC server. So i have no idea what you're talking about there.

Sounds to me like you can't deal with the mode, because you don't have the assists you need. So you say that the mode you play is pro as becasue it requires more shots to kill someone, when in reality you have to much of a hard time in a mode with no HUD/3D spotting.

You can't spam at red triangles in HC, there are none. You can in the regular mode. If thats something you obviously complain about then one would have assumed HC mode would have been a mode you would enjoy.

[mattnz]

No 3D spotting in scrims m80, and bruce seems to do just fine.

The soldier as a peace maker in this situation pulls’ Hoodie and Brucewillis2 together in a big bear hug with an arm around each of their shoulders.

Guys can’t we just get along, agree to disagree. He continues on regarding that we are all part of the BF brotherhood, making love not war, etc etc

All the while Fuzzel’s is pick pocketing them both, bending the firing pins in all their guns, removing the fuses from grenades and pissing in their medic packs.

I will not mention where he did his #2‘s as it seems to be a sensitive issue, which it is. No one likes to go too grab out a full magazine only to come out with a handful of fresh squirrel shit.

The soldier ends his talk by asking them to shake hands and to just to enjoy the next map.

On a more serious note I will admit I’m sniping on HC to get my headshot badge and using mortar on standard to get that badge. ( Due to people spotting )
After that is the F2000 platinum quest. If that makes me a bad boy I’ll take my beating like a man.

Fuzzel’s appears with dominatrix gear and ride crop.

Battlefield 3 already has plenty of hardcore fans, and the game hasn't even come out yet. At E3 earlier this year, lines stretched as long as four hours to get some brief hands-on time with the multiplayer. However, that's nothing compared to gamescom, which is open to the general public, where lines were up to nine hours long in order to play the game for about 15 minutes. Now that, my friends, is ridiculous. But not nearly as ridiculous as one of the guys I met who waited in line for hours to be one of the first in the gamescom doors on Friday, where he ran directly to BF3, played it, and then left and got right back into an eight hour line for the same game. That's an insane level of dedication for a game that comes out in the couple of months.

I'll recreate the experience for you right here, as we also had to venture down to the show floor at gamescom to get our Battlefield on. First, you had to sit through a 15 minute presentation that was entirely in German, which you can't really fault EA for since the conference takes place in Germany. And, as a victim of the American education system, I don't speak German. But, I was sort of able to pull from context and understand most of the video. Which seemed to be "Find the enemy and kill them."
There were brief rundowns of the class changes, which we detailed in our E3 Battlefield 3 hands-on preview, and I made the decision there and then to be the Assault class, now armed with a defibrillator so I could bring my downed buddies back to life, while charging forward and taking care of enemy soldiers. At least, that was my noble idea. Things didn't exactly go according to plan, which ended up costing me dearly.
As we finished up the film and filed into the gaming area (all on PCs, by the way), I studied the game card and wished fervently for a gamepad, which is how I experience things on the PC back at E3. But, I had to get used to the mouse and keyboard all over again at some point, and this seemed as good a time as any to dive back in. Unfortunately, the instruction card was in German as well, so strike two for our public schools. "Was ist eine button for to make kill guy?" doesn't really cut it, internationally.

We spawned onto the enormous 64 player Caspian Border map, with all of us splitting into one of two 32 player teams. As with any multiplayer match of Battlefield, everyone immediately scrambles for the airborne vehicles, and the hotly contested jet usually lasted about .025 milliseconds on the landing strip before someone jumped in it and zoomed into the skies above. While this map is extremely large, it still seems as though it's not entirely jet-friendly. ZOOM, turn around, ZOOM turn around. ZOOM, turn around, and so on. As much as I wanted to get into a jet to try this out, I gritted my teeth and climbed into a tank, which actually turned out to be a good decision.
I lasted about ten minutes inside that tank, taking occasional damage while being patched up by passing Engineers, and I managed to take out 12 enemy soldiers while taking and re-taking three different bases. But finally I heard the familiar WHOOP, WHOOP which translates to "Your tank is about to blow up, idiot" and I had to bail. Once I was on foot, I kept getting owned by enemy snipers. As in seriously owned. The game will totally rub that in your face by zooming off to the smug, sunglass-ed face of the soldier who did it, and you couldn't help but hate them.
Once the match was over (we lost), I had a strong desire to step back through and play it again, but the last thing I wanted to do was displace someone that had waited for nine hours to get in here and experience the game. Battlefield 3 stands as one of the most graphically intense, realistic shooters out there, and playing 32 players vs. another 32 provides an unequaled gaming experience. If you can manage to round up 31 friends to go online with you, you're going to have a complete blast once you figure out who's in command. And even if you play solo, you're going to wish BF3 was permanently installed in your game system.

Realistic. Yeah right.

There are many aspects of BF3 that are realistic and can be called one of the most realistic shooters out there, not to mention graphically intensive.

Think about it for a second and you will realize this on your own, rather than generalize and try to group all aspects of the game and check/cross out which are realistic and are not, before you could call it "one of the most realistic shooters out there". You don't need the game to be 100% realistic in all aspects for it to be one. CS is another "one of the most realistic games out there", but does it compare to a military sim like AA or Arma? :)

BF3 is not a military sim and isn't being passed on as one. There's a difference.

<-----

[Suvy]

Yep far too many snipers in BC2 as it is. Having one shot kill would just encourage more, which we don't need. They'll also probably have claymores so if they had one shot kills as well then it would be a pretty bs class as they could just sit back and one shot kill in some $#@!y spot and not have to worry about getting stabbed in the back.

That might be realistic, but i'd rather it be a little more balanced and fair.

In some BC2 Servers they had a sniper cap, having a Sniper cap on servers will solve the influx of snipers. in the beta so far the amount of snipers is slowly going up, look at the horizon and all you see is the flashs of sniper scopes lol. :(

[Suvy]

HC one shot sniper kills is realistic there is no way it shold be taken out of the game, limiting the snipers in a server will make the game more realistic aswell as in a army half the force isnt snipers lol!

[Mayhem_Lee]

Its a game harden up and what if people want to use the recon class without sniper rifles? they have squad spawn becons and the ability to pick off support people sitting behind cover with lmg's and bipods its an online game it all comes down to how people are going to play it. aka cg whores (growler) lol

Fuckin "reality" conversations about online games get my goat. If you want fuckin reality look at Leon Smith, a NZSAS hero in Afghanistan who died doing doing his duty, shot in the head. THAT's reality.

The only considerations as to how and when one player beats another in a computer game are whatever the programmers decide to code in to it. Reality has nothing to fuckin do with it at all. If there was any reality in the game, then I'd be able to go to the next little sniper fag who whined about whether his rifle is "real" enough and shove it up his arse.

That would depend on how they integrated it into the game. You can already sprint indefinitely without getting at all tired. Is that any less stupid

I think infinite sprint is ridiculous and I hope they change it :P

[Munchie]

Sniper headshot should be a 1 hit kill.

[Dr Woomanchu]

I agree with you on unlimited sprint, but the ultimate "stupidity" will always be respawn. As long as death is temporary anything in the game is fantasy.

yeah okay Woohoo, it is just a game, we know that. Is dying once per cd key going far enough for you? How about you die irl when your av dies?

Women shouldn't be allowed to play, it's not realistic, everyone knows women can't shoot and cook at the same time.

[Dr Woomanchu]

yeah okay Woohoo, it is just a game, we know that. Is dying once per cd key going far enough for you? How about you die irl when your av dies?

Miserable cunt.

That would be fine for the bitches who moan their sniper rifle isn't realistic enough. Me I know it's a fantasy and will happily stab you inna face every time I see you.

:beaten:

[=C=]

i'd like to see limb shots actually de-limb people

then you have to hobble around on your stubs, thumping people with what used to be your forearms

Yea I want limbs flying off too. God I loved that back in 95~ playing QWTF :D
With today's graphics, game engines and rag dalls flying libs would be kick ass and take the game to the next "realism and fun" level...

Grenades go off next to you. Flying limbs in a realistic "directional manner", same for getting shots.
Limbs flying, and/or flesh wounds that realistically slow you down or make you move in a manner as you really would have in RL.


lol @ wooohoooo, stop QQ'ing ;P
You know you'd love it and the best thing about it (you can re-spawn) :P

Mmmm kinky

It's called prep cooking :P I make sure qu1cks has all his food and drink ready before I sit down and kill KILL KILL!!

[Growler]

you have a computer in the kitchen?

Kind of agree. If it was realistic a medic wouldn't be able to resurrect people with his magic defibrillator. It is a game, but I would prefer it if it was a game where you didn't have to full people with lead like quake in order for them to die. I don't like having "health shields" so much. But as long as there is hardcore I'm happy, the standard mode will always be an arcade mode to me.

[Munchie]

In my old apartment the computer was in the kitchen since it was openview :P But my new house it is not.

But you wont be playing the game due to it requires origin

[Growler]

you played beta yet ape?

bullet damage is insane compared to BC2. Current damage, and with the new "spotting" is just like BC2 HC imo.

Spotting is in no way spray and get your KDR up. If you can't see them or have LOS to em, you dont get the teeny tiny triangle on em, and as soon as you stop drop n roll behind cover your enemy loooooooooses you anyway.

there is alot of complaints about damage being too much on the EA forums. I quite like it, no longer a game of glitch hit boxes, comes down to speed & accuracy.

[Munchie]

Because noobs want to run and gun. DICE will end up changing the damage to cater for the retards, you will see.

[Hessian Blitz]

It's a GAME and has nothing to do with real life. Any whingers should be forced to play DOOM for an hour to be re-educated on how far GAMING has come.

Infinite run and reload. At the range for giggles we would run 100m then go prone and shoot. After a few times you cannot hit shit your breathing is too laboured.

[dirtyape]

A fool presumes too much.

Just because you cannot perceive a way to play BF3 in a secure fashion does not mean that such a way does not exist. I certainly does not prevent me from doing so.

No i haven't bothered to build a sandbox yet, so haven't installed origin or signed up. I'll probably not bother as my CBF is quite high on this one atm, so I'll probably just wait for the release.

I usually play BC2 HC anyway so I should be quite used to it, I much prefer that style of play as the arcade mode of BC2 always seemed a bit quakelike and spammy. But then I still haven't really played the game very much. I would still hope the final BF3 also has a HC mode which makes people even more realistically fragile. I would be disappointed if the barrett did not produce pink mist.

I think at range the damage is fine, its just up close you stand no chance at all if you are spotted first. By the time you hear the sound of firing or get hit by the first round you are dead with no time to react.

[Dr Woomanchu]

And I'd say because noobs want to camp and harvest eh munchie ;)

Or it could just be that different players have different styles and wants from a game.

[Growler]

You can run and gun, if you have people doing it with you, there just aint as many rambo moments anymore.

hey! Doom is still epic fun to play - I lubs my BFG 9000

[Dr Woomanchu]

One of my first memories of online gaming awesome was playing 8 player doom via BBS and discovering the silent BFG :D

[aLi3nZ]

Unless there is crazy high dpi and ninja like reflexes involved

[Emrico1]

We'll see about that.

You're going to love this shit.

It's your fault he got so close and its his advantage that he did.

Is nurf whingers that make games turn to shit. Ie no c4 chuck, black hawk guns turned to shit etc etc etc

[=C=]

had been playing for 2h 50~mins. Rank 13.
Loving the sniper :)
LOl @ the glint give away's but still like it.

Ohh and flashlight, OMG... that thing is insane.. ppl think they were flash banged :P

weps feel good. The movement feels just RIGHT. No shoddy console running through mud, and bad mouse movement. Feels quite nice and the first minute I started playing I felt like i've played it for years. graphics are purty and niiice. Donno about FPS but was it on max and felt no low fps. Might have to fire up fraps to check fps.

[SheepShagger556]

Might have to fire up fraps to check fps. hold Ctrl + Alt + S

[=C=]

hold Ctrl + Alt + S

Just ran fraps and getting a solid 50+ fps minimum outside. inside close to 100 minimum. Quite nice, however don't think that will be the case with ultra settings for final game lol.... BUT, you never know they might optimize it better :)

lvl 15 w00t.

ROFL alienz, u like my dance ;P
