  • Why do consoloids hate this game? -.-

    Srsly.

    Rant On/

    Ok here's the thing, i got this friend, i don't think he qualifies to be a full fledged PC gamer as he only plays DoTA with the occasional CStrike. Anyways he knows i am a huge Battlefield buff and how i adore the game.

    He told me a few weeks back that he pre-ordered the game and i was kind of happy as he was always on CoD, not that CoD is a bad game hell i own every one of their titles, its just that i grew out of playing CoD, i don't disrespect the game, and i do acknowledge that CoD and BF are completely different games...but when it comes down to someone dissing BF on such stupid things i get pissed off ricky tick.

    Today the game arrived for him and he hadn't played it yet, so when i visited him i was excited and wanted to try it out on the PS3. I already own the game on PC and been loving it so much, so i wanted to see its performance on PlayStation. When i opened the case my friend excitedly urged me not to play on his account as he was excited to play so i created an account and played on that.

    We started chatting, and i inserted how i liked the inclusion of a server browser...and here it comes...he asks "What is a server browser?" i explain, i mean for a guy that does play CS i would assume he knows.

    So i play the game, got a kill with the jet, a few with the heli and was really having fun...surprisingly on a console. and he sees from afar playing DoTA how i was having fun.

    After his game he wants to play, it was Kharg Island and he kept getting killed on the Growler Jeep in foolish ways, i.e. he drives the thing when he sees an enemy a few meters ahead he switches seat rather than running over the target which in turn would have saved him because the time to switch seats then turn the lmg is too long.

    after several times of dying he asks and get this, is there like a team death-match, i feel that there is nothing going on here (i.e. war well with 24 players what do you expect) so i switch over to grand bazaar. He then whines about not having a CoD style kill cam! adn the game too difficult to comprehend, as well as flying the jets to be hard. I...not a major console player...got a kill on the F18 hornet killing an SU35 with the machine gun! and the controls were inverted...yet he complains and asks me if i would buy the gmae off of him.

    I told him, " look dude you haven't seen anything, come over to my flat and check it out on my PC. The game is epic, adn i wont buy the game off of you as my bro bought it on PS3 and i got it on PC. go trade it in for CoD for 1 pound." i mean really i dunno whats wrong with people i got really po'd and left the apartment.

    Rant off/TLDR/

    Weren't Dice implementing some form of TDM? Some have this real attachment to CoD for arbitrary reasons, and maybe battlefield is just leagues above their heads?

      Well its easy to explain Eagle and this line tells you the answer:

      He is a QQ raging idiot and your superior intellect allows you to enjoy a more complex game that draws you and forces you to think. Dont get me wrong, I thought a lot in CoD as well to outhink my oponents and have fun. Doing so cost me many bans because of it.

      Its not easy being in the master PC race. You just need smarter friends.

          Well, a little bit of both. I dont know the guy or the full situation, just what Eagle mentioned. To hate a game that fast because its too complex seems strange. Its easy for me to say though because I hated 1942 the first time I played it because I felt you died to easy.

            Unfortunately, Battlefield games are very hard to play online.

            Even basic things have to be learned the hard way.

            I converted from COD to Battlefield and, boy, my KDR went as bad as 0.5 at the beginning.

              Thanks for the comments, some interesting ones. Thing is its not that hard, my 14 year old brother plays the game on both platforms as well as he is a 1942 vet he plays really good on both systems and is a team player and he is 14! but my friend likes to insult the game somehow, when i bought BFBC2 on both PS3 and PC i took the PS3 version to his flat (as mines was back home while i am in university( and i played there, then whilst playing the campaign during the WW2 mission where the marines would dive in the grass to avoid an enemy patrol he complained that it is too similar to CoD4's campaign where you and McMiillan would go prone to avoid Russian patrols.

              I mean really he has no basis here, as well as i told him BF started before cod, it launched the modern warfare series before CoD and that it has mainly been about multiplayer.

              I am hoping he regains conscious and play the game a little further, i played it not 2 hours and got the hang of it quick on a sixaxis no less.

              And i did show him TDM, yet he complained about the difficulty as if i just handed him ArmA2 for crap sake. Anyways i am going for the weekend with the uni for a dumb trip rather than kicking ass in BF3 so i will post back later.

              I just dont know why console people have to hurt, i would like a one on one with him on my PC so i can kill streak him, then again if he played battlefield on my PC well i guess you can all figure that out hint graphics hint game play.


              Avalanche: BF is not about KDR buddy as much as it is about teamwork, skill, and bleeding the enemy tickets effectively, i won many battles playing yesterday doing just that, engineer in a tank i was very effective got at least 3 KO's on tanks. defended points, its so much fun that you will forget about KDR, i have seen people with low KDR but high scores because of their contribution i.e. engineer points, medics and the like.

              I too sucked at BF2 when i first started playing MP, but after several rounds i honed my skills, best classes engie and medic

                Had a conversation with one guy who didn't like the idea of a learning curve for the Jets. Personally, I believe that learning curves are a dying breed, what with all the "Press 5 to Automatically kill shit" after 5 kills, and "Press 5 to win entire game and finish it pre maturely" after another 20.

                  What learning curve? They are about at difficult to fly as the tanks are to drive.

                    Exactly. The guy still thinks that all parts should cater to EVERYONE. Though I find Jets hard at the moment possibly due to lag... Though does anyone else get the feeling that the inside of the cockpit sounds like a porno or something? Thats the only way I can describe the sound...

                      The cockpit sound is a breathing technique pilots use to stop blacking out at high speeds. I only know that because Mythbusters did an episode about it and Adam passed out like a little girl while trying to do the technique.

                      The thing is that they dont do it all the time, just in those instances of high g's, so I dont know whats going on.

                        Just give him time and he will probably figure it out. If he has never played a Battlefield game before, it is understandable that he doesn't really know what is going on.

                        But to be truthful, some people just don't like figuring out new games and stick to the ones they are good at.

                        Being a master in them takes some skill though.

                          As for the jets, im just glad they fixed the flight look even though you have to "invert" it to have up beign up and down being down.

                            Flying is easy, dogfighting maneuvers are the ones that take training. An yeah I assume within time he will warmup to the game. Thanks for your thoughts guys.
