Yeah, should be good Mr Law

I had a good bash of BF3 the other night for the 1st time since shoulder rehab, and I think I see why they went with minimal destruction, after a 3 hour match on Oman.   It is was full destruction, the battlefield would be flattened in 20 mins.

I would luv to see in BF4 a server option for setting custom destruction levels on personal servers.  So you can tweak it for 10 min/100% or 2 hr/20% etc, or if you want an arcade shooter 20 min / 0% (but you can shoot thru walls )

[Outlaw]

Yeah options like that would be nice. The destruction does need a limit but some maps on BF3 barely has any. If you remember Arica Harbor CQ, by the end of the game all those buildings were collapsed and flattened lol Same with White Pass and Nelson Bay - some games people would go around C4ing trees and buildings and turned the entire map into 'great plains'. No place to hide or take cover.

Hopefully BF4 does give us alot of server customizations, like Killzone 2 did.

yeah, thats war.  Having trekked through Tibet, I got a good feel for what happens to a village in a battlefield, leveled.

Had many a game with Bato, Straussy and Ms_tkn and others just C4ing the landscape flat, and tracering anyone in the wrong place,
and seeing how far you can launch a tank or jeep with mines and C4.

C4ing buildings was almost an art, as if you got the c4 in the right joins, you only ever needed a max of 3 or 4 to bring down any building.

BF4 needs to bring back the fun aspects as well

The sniping in BC2 was alot better than BF3 imo as well. I could headshot a **** from the other side of the map in BC2 cos I know the exact bullet drop for my weapon and if I missed you could see it well enough to correct on your next shot. Didnt work as well in BF3.

They need to make sure that there are enough 'normal servers' running. Once they introduced custom servers in BF3 it all went to pot. (Killed the game to be honest) I do NOT want 5 of the 6 servers I have to choose from be "500% Metro Only". the other 1 being "500% Kharg Island Only *fast vehicle spawn*". /facepalm

[straussy240]

In addition, most servers have strict rules. some I agree with, but others like no shotguns on cq maps is silly

Aye, this is very important - this was what killed BF3 for me - I find 100% CQ a little on the long side, but still enjoyable, but anything above this just bored me to tears.  Clearly, there was an audience for it, and an audience more passionate than I was (as I couldn't be bothered funding my own normal server), but they need to keep rooms up for general folk who want to play the base game.

[Outlaw]

Yeah some of those long games do get boring. It wouldve been better if DICE allowed different percentage for different maps in rotation. Some CQ maps are short while others are not and the %% affects them differently, Metro being the longest, 500% ends up being like 1750 tickets!

I do like some maps to be extended to 200% - 300% nothing more though. Play CQ Domination is not bad with 500% - the games are still a decent length and nothing crazy like Metro 1750 tickets!

Custom servers did ruin the game for me as well, some admins just make up crazy rules.

[Saintsy]

I quite enjoyed most of the custom rule games i joined.
But when it was 500% ticket game that was spawn camping, was rather boring.

That and the moronic admins that either put you on their team or kick you.

[Hasan-I]

Some custom servers were alright, the thing that killed the game for me was getting kicked and banned from servers when you were doing well.. i think you lost all of your points for the game aswell. All because the admin was a bitch.

[Saintsy]

All of us jump on for a clanz night on outlaws server that he gave me admin powers to.

"I wonder if i can kick outlaw from the game" aha good times

Unless you have an audio recording, or can pick up traces of my DNA on the fleece, that's purely circumstantial evidence .

[Saintsy]

I think whitey might have it.. Though i think he said the sound wasn't recorded properly or some shit i dunno.
